FHAT excellent authority, the Inter
national Encyclopedia, says that
L the title Pasha was once ''be-
slowed upon members of the royal fam
lily only. 1t is now used for high civil
and military officers. OF the latter there
are three grades, symbolized by the num-
Der of horse-tails formerly borne before
them on occasions of state. Three tails
signify general-in-chief, two tails gen
eral, and one brigadier. Admirals also
have the title pasha. Civil officers or
the rank of vizier provincial governors
and others also receive the title. me
authority of the pasha in his province
was formerly absolute, but he Is now
held in check by local councils, and the
sultan may at any moment remove the
pasha, and even put him to death.
When one learns that the privilege OF
actually using the horse-tails for sym
bolic purposes has long been abolished
and when one further reflects that
pashas have long been checked by coun-
ellis that the authority of the sultan to
: put pashas to arbitrary death has re-
Gently yielded to the exigencies of rev.
olution, 1t becomes clear that not even
q pasha is above the reach of the law
of progress And this Is cheering. He
Is becoming frequent, like German
counts and italian princes
But 1t Is the American pasha, not he OF
Ottoman origin, who is to me most in
teresting The truth appears that as
Islam and the Turk '1et up on the
pasta industry we western folk increase
the output. Indeed, 1t can be shown that
most of our economical woes arise from
the strenuous desire of Tom and Dick
and Harry, north, south, east and west,
to become pashas, If not preceded by
horse tails, at least borne in automo-
biles, modern substitute in symbolism.
Our civilization has evolved at last this
ripe product of its genius, the pasha,
that is to say, the privileged man, the
privileged class. Vast multitudes ambi-
tiously lay plans to add themselves to the
pasha rank To amend our old friend
Costard, they aim at the degree, Auto
moblitudinitatibus, sometimes not wait
ing to attain 1t save by climbing some
other way than through the door thereto.
The personality Is enlarged by the horse
power. IL not the horse-tails of the ma
chine in which one rides, though 1t may
not yet be paid for. AS a tall hat,
long coat, a walking cane, so also an au-
tomobile must be considered as emphat-
ically magnifying It's accompanying sprig
of humanity And a very comfortable
method this Is for magniication, far
more SO than, for instance, the tall SILK

ial)-Farmers and truck gardeners of
Columbia and Eastern Walla Walla
counties are finding a spring market
for their potatoes through r. d. Sayres
& Co., of Dayton. In the last ter
days upwards of 1900 sacks or over
eight tons of spuds including the Early
Rose, Burbank, Gold Coin and Early
Ohios and the Perfected Peachblows
and other favored varieties, have been
delivered at order of 1fr. Sayres and
are being stored in warehouses for
shipment to the coast and Inland En-
plre markets.
The average price being reached is
81 per hundred weight delivered at
Dayton. Mr.. Sayres said today that
he will buy every available sack of
potatoes in the country tributary to
Dayton at tbs price provided the tu-
bers are free of blemish and are of
salable varieties. 1t is estimated Co
lumbia county farmers are still holding
upwards of 10000 sacks. These have
been preserved until this late season
by keeping in the ground. At the pres
ent price the potato crop will be clean
ed up. Mr.. Sayres' move is purely a
speculative one, present prices at coast
points now warranting shipment at
this time.

Canal Di0gerS
Progressing

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Although
it was generally known that splendid
progress had been made by the army
engineers in digging the Panama ca
nal, the statement contained in the
canal record, just at hand, that all of
the excavation that was contemplated
n the original project had been COM
pleted come sas surprise.
Under that plan 103,795,000 cubic
yards of material were to be removed
and that has been done. But subse-
quently. in order to accommodate nav
al vessels of the Dreadnought type,
and the giant liners now under con-
struction, the president ordered the
widening and deepening of the canal
out.
That involved the removal of TO-
S71,594 additional yards Of material
and this is all of task of excavation
that confronts the engineers.
The record of accomplishments has
been without precedent in engineering
undertakings. The real work of dig
ging did not begin until 1908. In that
year nearly 100000 cubic yards of
earth were removed and since that
time the daily average has been stead
lily growing until now in three and
quarter years all of the excavation
accomplished.
Last month, 3,067,469 yards of ma
terial were taken out and this in the
face of the heaviest March rains
known on the isthmus.
