There may be something behind the

Nhe information so far disclosed, the
United States government is exercis-
ing a questionable activity in this mat
ter. A great cutlery was raised, great
public meetings were held wide
spread society was organized, and
much money was raised, in this coun-
try a few months ago because Russia
demanded the return of a man who
had fled to the United States, and who
was accused of treason, murder and
other crimes We believed that his
crime was political only, and that he
should not be surrendered to the Rus
sian authorities for probable execution.
Yet at the behest of Mexico we are i'm

ably in this country three years. and
it is not charged that he is guilty of
anything worse than political crime,
and that only committed in speech
and writing.
We do not imprison citizens on our
own account for advocating socialism,
or for even broader philosophiZing so
long as they commit no overt act Of
lawlessness and incite nobody to vio-
lence; why then should we do this be-
cause Mexico, ruled by dictator, re-

experienced roadway traveller knows
how little crcdence can be given to
local estimates of distance. It often
seems that the nearer traveller ap-
proaches his destination the farther
off it is, according to wayside infor-
nation. The late move of the Walla
walla Commercial club is one, in the
right direction.
Country roads are becoming more
and more to be public ways. The in
creasing use of the automobile each
year enables a growing number of per-
sons to use country roads, and to pen
citrate farther and farther into the
land. The rural mail routes traverse
nearly every country road in these
parts. it might not be a bad idea II
the Dostal authorities should promote
some ample and uniform guide post
system.
The cost of construction and main
tenance of guide posts would be trivial
when compared to their usefulness.
They would not alone be helpful to
the stranger hut their legends would,
be instructive in many cases to the
natives.

In the immense amount of literary
effort being expended in the interest
Of good roads, very little is said
about the utility of sign posts that
would guide the traveller on his way.
The guide board is much more COM
mon on the roads of the east than in
this part of the country. In the rural
regions of Washington little provision
is made for the stranger The people
of this state take it for granted that
everybody knows where every road
leads to and from, and knows how
far he must travel to reach his objec-
tive point, or that the stranger, not
knowing these things, may come across
or hunt uD a native who will supply
the information.
Guide posts would serve the purpose
better. If the county authorities did
the work well. information given by
the road signs would be reliable. A
man by making inquiries may find his
way along a country road. but every

CHINA AND THE NORTH POLE

1t is reported, on what authority
cannot be vouched for, nor does it
particularly matter, that Minister WI
Ting Fang comes into the polar con-
troversy with the statement that the
north pole was discovered by China
man more than 5000 years ago.
This statement should cause no sur
prise 1t was to be expected. 1t was
bound to come. If Mr.. WI had not
said it somebody else would. The
statement might have come from a
member of the faculty of Chicago Uni
versity.
The Chinese seem to have been a
wonderful people. They must have
been the Americans of antiquity. They
seem to have always been doing some
thing and doing it first. They have
long past and it must have been
busy one Before the Christian era
China must have been the inventive
center of the universe. Every coolie,
rice planter and tea picker must have
been a genius, philosopher, a savant
or an intellectual hustler of some sort.
There seems to have been nothing to
which the Cinnamon did not turn his
hand.
Say that a Genoese navigator dis
covered that the magnetic needle
pointed north and you will be con-
fronted with a statement that the COM
pass was used in China many thousand
years B. C.
Say that Roger Bacon invented gun
powder and you will then learn that
gunpowder was burned in China when
the earth was an infant bit of nebula
Speak of celestial eclipses and know
that in China, lunar, solar and stellar
eclipses were computed before the ar
chaean rocks were hard.
Speak of Faust and Gutenberg aid
then hear that the printing art was
highly developed in China before the
Chaldeans were pressing characters on
sun baked bricks or Egyptians scrib-
bling on papyrus.

FIRE IN

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23-Two
hundred and fifty men, women and
children were awakened early today
at the Hotel Irwin and fled panic
stricken to escape the smoke and
flames threatening to destroy the
history hosiery. The scantily-
clad guests ran from the rooms toward
the elevator and stairway, those
crowded from the elevator tumbling
down the long fight of stairs regard
less of injury.
The fire started in the Irwin restaur-
ant adjoining the hotel.
Among those who had narrow es-
capes were James Kimmell and
wife of Portland The guests were
awakened by Night Watchman Borek.
He was compelled to break open the
door of Miss Pagan of Los Angeles,
and lead her to safety.

pressure which covers the western
portion of the United States is attend
ed by fair weather and clear skies
over most of the country west of the
Mississippi river 1t is raining, how
ever, on the Washington coast and in
the Sound country due, probably to
a disturbance in the north Pacific
