of Time When Territory Reach
Chinese Prince Is Altruistic
Changmong Stay Lee Fits Himself That He May Be of
Service to His People

w YE KNOW little of China, al
N though we now know more
w than we did before the new
republic over there came
along to focus our attention upon the
conditions obtaining in the land of eX-
clusion. We learned of the fall of the
Manchu dynasty and the passing of
the Chinaman S queue. Thereupon, we
began to think that, perhaps, all China
men were not laundrymen or garden
ers and we were told of the ancient
civilization of Cathay. We have not
come to respect China particularly,
even if great change was effected
without any undue fuss, but we have
come to learn that there is lot to
China, physically and humanity.
All of this lends interest to the story
of a Manchu prince, who was washed
away on the spring flood of a great
river in China, to float all night amid
the wreckage of farms and villages and
to be picked up in the morning by a

it, all of which served to acquaint
him with his own people and their
needs and to inspire him with an idea
and an ideal. Prince Changmong Stay
Lee, favorite of the old dowager, EN-
press and member of the ancient Man
chu dynasty, is now in the United
States as n direct result of that night
of floodtime and danger. He is here
to study our methods of business and
living, that he may in his turn teach
his own people, and this despite the
fact that the Manchus are now shorn
of power and prestige He is doing
this in a spirit of altruism that finds
few equals. He is in the great cities of
the east today, interviewing manufac-
turers, learning methods of organiza-
tion and gaining general information,
that, some day, he may build factories
in his own country and teach his people
to make simple necessaries, such as
clothing and shoes.
He is outspoken about his purposes
- am not in sympathy with the new
republic" he has said. "They are
working for civilization and the better
mcnt of the people, as am l, but we are
going in different directions. This has
been my aim in life since / was boy
of 13 years. Ever since that time

might educate my people. This new
political party wants to overthrow
everything, change everything. That
will do no good until the people are edu.
Gated. The first thing they must learn
is to make their living. 1t does no
good to give money; it does no good
to give food. We must teach them to
earn their living; we must teach them
how to live properly. That is what ]
am trying to do.

ings, which, when completed,
will cost approximately five
millions of dollars, at no expense to
the taxpayers of the state.
The buildings are the gift Of Uncle
Sam, though the guardian uncle never
thought his gift would be so generous
and in fact Washington people can
thank the business sagacity Of those
who in 1889 steered the Evergreen
state safely into the ranks Of state
hood, rather than the national govern
ment.
Washington was poor in 1889, SO the
government was asked for special
land grant for capitol building pur-
poses only and this land grant, com
prising several thousand acres, was
given. The land at that time was
valued at little more than 100000,
and, as the legislature was then hold
ing forth in an old wooden building
and the big stoves served to keep the
place comfortably warm, Washington
straightway forgot all about the land
grant until four years ago, when more
adequate quarters were necessary. A
cruise made of the land two years ago
revealed the fact that the land and
the timber on it were worth at least six
millions of dollars and increasing in
value.
Years ago before Washington was
ever thought of and when all that ter
ritory north of the Columbia river was
known as "Oregon North of the Co
lumbia," Michael T. Simmons, Ken
tuckian, with eight companions pushed
northward from Fort Vancouver, and,
after Drawing the 100 miles Of wilder
ness, now southwest Washington, came
on Puget sound at the extfeme south
ern end, where the Deschutes river,
after flowing along peacefully for
miles, takes a series of daring leaps
and finally plunges in roar and foam
into Puget sound. Simmons and his
companions exployed the sound, but
returned to its head and settled on the
crest of bluff which gives COM
manding view of the entire country.
Directly in front lies the sound. wind
ing its way amid evergreen bills like
a grand boulevard leading into the
very heart of the snow-capped olym-
pics.
To the south are the Descbutes falls
and to the east. towers Mount Rainier.
combination that is majestic in its
grandeur.
1t was no more than right that later
civilization should also recognize this
historic bluff, for it has been officially
marked and by none other than the
state of Washington. On the crest of
this bluff now stands the Temple of
Justice, and the governor mansion,
the first two units of the capitol group
now being erected by the state of
Washington, which. when completed,
will be second to none in the country.
Two years ago the legislature appro
priated 100000 to start the Temple of
Justice and just few days ago the
thirteenth legislature approved $500
900 item in the annual budget which
will make the Temple of Justice an
ssOO,OOO building when completed.
Directly in the rear of the temple
and extending far out on either side is
to be the grand capitol, erected at an
approximate cost of 100000, while

Washington was known as rather
slow, non progressive town, but today
it is a city.
Its tidelands are being rapidly filled
up with manufacturing establishments,
while water transportation has more
than doubled within the past year
The latest idea to be advanced by
the chamber of commerce is a port
commission, which will greatly facili.
tate the handling of freight from all
southwest Washington. excepting that
territory tributary to Portland.

on either end of the grand capitol will
be two executive or office and commits
sion buildings. To the extreme right
of the group is the governors s man

On approaching Olympia up the bay,
the capitol group will assume the ap-
pearanee of one massive structure, with
the grand capitol as the huge dome.
There will be two approaches, one from
the waters edge and the other from
Main street, between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets.

Looking 1t Ooer

~ OMETIMES nations do things that
individuals would be ashamed to
~ countenance. China 8 treaty with
England gives the Chinese the
power to suppress opium smoking, but
the British minister, Sir John Jordan,
contends that the Chinese broke the
treaty in taking restrictive measures
against the smoking of Indian opium.
The treaty permits the trades contin-
uance until 1917 and this the British
interpret to mean that China shall al
low the importation and guarantee the
sale of opium. The Chinese, on their
part, hold that the sale of Indian opium
was not guaranteed. England is now
pressing China to buy opium boarded
by English merchants, who speculated
on continuance of the vice and are at
the present time saddled with opium
valued at $6O,OOO,OOO, owing to the fact
that China has been successful in
stamping out the habit. The British
government holds that China should
buy this opium and resell it as a mo.
nopoly.

Intimacy between a farmer and his
personal characteristics needed by any
one who would succeed at farming.
Patience, persistence and adaptable
ity. And the greatest of these is adap-
tability.-The. Country Gentleman.
In all seriousness-there are three
men, his animals and his fields is as
essential today as it ever was. The
reward is almost directly in proper
tion to the nearness of the master to
the details of his work.
There r reasons other than merely
the shortage of beef for a return to
stock keeping. Livestock keeping is
the highest art of husbandry. 1t re-
quires skill, more capital and is
a more permanent investment than
crop culture. The fine art of farming
is best displayed in the work of the
breeder and feeder.
Can we blame any one if the cold,
dead type of books fails to reach the
brain Of a body that is wearied by
by hours of hard labor out of doors
amid relief in sleep? The early ris-
ing field worker must be early to bed.
What time then remains for reading?
The very nature of the farmers work
handicaps him as a reader except at
the brief noon hour and when rain and
storm bring a cessation of outdoor
tasks.-The Country Gentleman.

SENATOR SIMMONS.
Amusing Story of How He Secured an
Appointment for Democrat.
(CharIOtte observe,

Charlotte Observer
An amusing story is. told Of Sena-
tor Simmons and a little tilt which he
is reputed to have had recently with
Secretary Houston of the Department
of Agriculture, with reference to an
appointment, which recalls a similar
incident told about the lamented Sem
atoI Vance of this State. Passing over
the latter and turning to the former,
It is told that Senator Simmons was
anxious to see a certain influential
Democrat appointed to a place in the
Agricultural Department, then held by
a Republican,
"But the incumbent is thoroughly
competent" protested Secretary Hous-
ton, according to the story. Il don't
see how we can do as you desire in the
face of the facts, for I know of no
more able, efficient and painstaking
official in the service than the gentle
man you have turned out"
ST have heard the same of Secretary
Wilson, your predecessor in office"
naively replied the North Carol ma
Senator, land yet where is he?"
According to the story the appoint
ment was made.

Who Should Farm9

Psychologists say they can settel the
What shall l do?" A sort of mental
yardstick on the brain of the applicant
for any vocation will show whether
ne is adapted for the job. 1t has been
tried out on telephone operators and
street-car motormen by no less an au-
thority than Prof. Hugo Munsterber,
and the Sage Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching indorses the
idea. Applicants for positions are
examined as to memorly, attention
general intelligence, space perception,
raIidity of movement, accuracy of
movement and association. Those I'M
isnited for the positions are Weeded
out before they start.
We can imagine an enormous bene-
fit from the application of these new
methods to farming enterprises. Why
not apply psychological tests to those
suffering from the first attacks of hen
fever, apple orchardists and other ma
ntgnant Affections resulting from inoc-
ulation with the back-to-the-land
germ? Enormous sums would be
saved to those who annually invest in
impracticable undertakings. The
average efficiency of suburban workers
would be greatly enhanced. Why not
put the would-be p~oultryman through
a series of tests with a balky incuba-
tor, or try his endurance on a green
bone grinder; or determine his sym
pathies by allowing him to nurse a
hatch of chickens with the pip? Let
the ambitious Would-be orchardist try
his patience by mixing a batch of lime
sulphur spray, or by juggling a pick
