FOREIGNERS IN CHINA.
Their Disregard of Law and ReauIa
tions Causes Serious Trouble.

the whole of foreign relations
with China has been characterized by
certain character OF SuperciliouS
contempt for the written law on the
part of many travellers who from time
to time journey through our country
The diplomats have in consultation
with our governing officials drawn up
very definite and explicit regulations
to govern this matter. and only in ac-
cordance with these regulations
should foreigners be allowed to travel
in the interior of China.
One of these regulations specifies
that no foreigner shall travel beyond
a 30 mile radius of auy treaty port
without securing a passport from the
Chinese district authorities through
his consul Some years ago this reg
ulation used to be pretty generally
observed but of late years it has been
almost totally disregarded The
japanese are the worst offenders in
this respect, for they seem to think
that they have the right to travel.

new their passports annually and
sometimes travel for three or four
years on an obsolete passport. This
does not matter very much so long as
all goes well. but it is hardly fair to
expect China to protect these for
egners who fail to do her officials the
courtesy of advising them of their
presence in the country should trouble
occur.
1t should be understood that the Is
suance of a passport is for the protec-
ton of the foreigner to whom it is
issued. The fee charged is insignifi-
cant and can be no deterrent to its
requirement. The holding of pass
port entities the traveller to assistance
at all times from the governments
servants and it's absence renders the
traveller liable to have his journey in
terrupted and his person escorted back
under guard to the nearest treaty
port.
A movement is at last on foot to
look into this matter of passports. and
it is to be hoped that the officials in
the interior will do their duty con-
scientiously.
We anticipate that many illegal
travellers will with sorrow be escorted
to their nearest consulates.-Chinese

that We can see and hear very little of

ty has at its disposal a considerable
number of scholarships, which cover d
large part of the college expenses OF
industrious and worthy students. The

Mr. Jones considers that in Maine
the supply of wood pulp is practically
inexhaustible, but says that in the
Middle West the manufacturers will
soon be obliged to obtain their pulp

buy pulp wood in Canada as chcarly
as the Canadian mills do, and at the

d irrigation in California.

In California the elaborate system
of canals for the Imperial Valley was
begun in the fall of 1901. July of the
following year the first water for crop
raising was turned into the bitches and
1000 acres were irrigated. Now there
are over one hundred times that many
acres under irrigation and cultivation
and the permanent water supply is
ample and assured. The water of the
Colorado is sufficient to irrigate 1000
acres in California and as much more
below the Mexican line. During half
of the year the available water is. of
course. sufficient to irrigate a much
larger area. There are more than 500
miles of water bitches in operation. The
Washington Sunset route operates
