STRANGE PROCEEDINGS.

It is funny to see Uncle Sam busily
engaged in trying to find out why
sugar is selling a little higher, and
at the same time making laws, or try
ing to, that have for their exclusive
purpose the advancing of the price of
cotton.
Farmers are told to hold their cot
ton for a higher price. The govern
ment is willing, it seems, to let the
cotton go to warehouses and author
ize banks to advance loans on the raw
material, and in this way boost the
price and maintain the price of cot
ton.
Why not build warehouses to store
the sugar and the other dry goo0-
and groceries and let the government
advance money on them and allow the
men who produce them to hold for a
higher price?
There is just as much consistency
in one as in the other, but there isn't
as much politics.

THE IRONY OF FATE.

1t surely is the irony of fate which
finds the American delegates to an
international peace powwow stranded
in Europe by the worlds biggest war.
Yet there's a sunbeam even in this
pickle.
Some of the best of temperance
sermons have been helped by the un-
expected appearance of brawling
drunkards unconsciously staging
themselves as awful examples.
Those kindly ministers of peace
have hitherto been simply theorists
and idealists. Their fight was alb
stract, like so much of the world S
professional charity.
Now it will have a human basis,
born of intense experience.
It's all right to spar with Satan in
a genteel, academic fashion, hitting
only ladylike taps; but it will be a
great deal more interesting to have
Old Nick's enemies go to him with
hammer and tongs, as no doubt these
peace brethren will now feel like
doing

KINGS AND PAWNS.

The just-issued British and Ger
man white books" which give the
messages that passed among the
various European capitals immediate
Iy before the outbreak of war, agree
closely as to facts. They amounted
to these:
Austria wanted to punish Servia
for vexing her with political conspir-
acies and for alleged conniving at
the killing of her crown prince.
Germany endorsed Austria's case
and gave her carte blanch to go
ahead.
Russia thought Austria's demands
too sweeping and feared Teutonic
combine to block her advance in the
Balkans. Thus fearing, the Russian
bureaucracy prepared to fight.
France ached for revenge on Ger
many; Austria went ahead so fast
and so far that Germany, at the last
minute, couldn't pull her back;
somebody in Russia made the czar
look like liar in denying mobil-
ization which had already begun;
England exhausted every diplomatic
resource in her efforts to keep the
peace, but refused to break faith with
France; the war dogs of all the pow
ers got their bristles up, and first
thing outsiders knew, the war was
on
On their surface these diplomatic
exchanges reveal surprisingly little
excuse for so murderous a struggle.
Below the surface, however, and be-
tween the lines, we see irresistible
hatreds. jealousies, vanities and dis
trust, no doubt secretly egged on by
professional soldiers anxious to test
the tools of their trade and eager for
the limelight.
But the outstanding thing in these
disclosures, the thing that to Ameri-
cans is hardest to understand, is the
pitiable part taken by the people who
must now pay with their property and
their lives. During the whole period
of the interchanges they were not
once consulted. A mere handful ol
men, in power under the antique
claim of divine right, moved them as
pawns, ndfolded-moved them to
misery or death.
In after years, when passion shall
have cooled and the great conflict
comes to be reviewed calmly, there
seems certain to be, if civilization is
to endure, an immense advance OF
democracy.

NEW USE FOR HAMANS GAL
LOWS.

One of the first things to soar was
the price of sugar, a necessity next
to bread. Almost at the wars open
ing pistol shot it practically doubled.
Then we were told why. Foreign
ers. the explanation said, were trying
to corner the raw sugar market in
Cuba and our refiners had to bid
against them.
We thought at the time that sound
ed rather queer; for why should far
off foreigners get ahead of our alert
sugar trust in nearby Cuba. Why
shouldn't the trust, by ownership of
Cuban cane lands, long ago have in
sured protection of its chief source of
supply?
You must admit it would be very
stupid and sleepy trust which should
thus be caught mapping.
Now comes three assertions on ap-
parently good authority which put
the matter in as strikingly different
light.
Assertion No. l (by w. w. Gardi
ner, sugar expert and statistician) is
that Cuba's crop is ample and that
foreigners have bought very little of
it.
Assertion No. 2 (by Robert Ok
nard, beet sugar mani is that the re-
fining trust had a three months sup
ply of refined sugar on hand, which
it proceeded to push up for an extra
profit.
Assertion No. (also Oxnard's)
offered in proof that the alleged SUI
gar scarcity is artificial in that the
beet sugar interests still have $780,
600 bags ready for market, but can't
get takers.
If these assertions are false, let's
have the truth.
When the sugar trust was plugging
the scales at the customs dock in
Brooklyn to defraud Uncle Sam oi
duties it wasn't clever enough tC
hide it's trail-it was detected an(
slapped on the wrist.
Surely, our government is smar
enough to find out the truth abou
the present skyrocketing of sugar anC
throw into publicity, if not into pris
on, the robbers responsible.
Here's a chance for the "gallow
as high as Haman's.' And we thinl
the president will get it out befor
these food grabbers have gone mucI
farther.

CHANCE FOR AMERICAN CHEM
lists.

No coal tar dyes, no adequate sup
ply of many drugs and chemicals in
this country while Germany is at
war?
Pause a minute to realize what this
implies.
II it means anything. doesn't 1t
mean that the chemists of America
are inferior to the chemists of Ger
many7
Are we willing to admit this and
let it go at that?
We should say not.
You can admit (because in fairness
you musD that German chemists
have outdone ours in many fields in
recent years.
But II isn't necessary to admit that
this was because we couldn't have
done as well had we tried as hard.
Germany went into chemistry al
Germany goes into most pursuits
thoroughly. Germany was willing t
spend the time and money and pain
necessary to win the prizes in chemi
cal research.
We let Germany do IL and thel

ents.

alighted in another field The Mon
golian pheasant is the great game
bird of Oregon, and they tell me the
hunters used to simply slaughter
them every. year, until now they have
game regulations which prescribe
that only the male birds shall be
shot, and not more than five of them
in any one day, or ten in any one
week-the open esason being but
four weeks (the month of October)
each year. The pheasant, like the
eastern Bob White, seems to like to
stay in the vicinity of cultivated
fields, especially grain fields after
the crop has been cut, where no
doubt they find feed more plentiful
and the problem of existence easier
to solve. However, this same ten
dency makes it easier for the hunters
to find them during the open season,
and it would not take long to greatly
reduce their numbers were it not for
the restrictive laws now in effect.
Through the great valley of the Will
lamette the cover for all sorts of
game seemed ideal, with the altern-
ate sections of grain fields and
logged-off lands, both feed and pro-
lection seemed to be offered in just
about the right proportion.

three feet through-larger than
had ever seen elsewhere. There
were, too, the hazelnut bushes exact
ly as we have them in our mountains.
The shrubbery which we found really
interested us most, however, was the

peaches, and which the ranchers were

RICH QUARTZ STRIKE
 REPORTED ON NUGGET GuLcH

SEWARD. Dec. 30. -A According to reports that have just reached Seward, one of the richest quartz strikes that has ever been made in Alaska was dis covered this fall in Nugget Gulch, in the Cache creek district. The find was made by two well known prospectors named Gage and Baker, who have been in that section for some time, They have one specimen of the quartz on exhibition at susitna Station that weighs 16S pounds, and John F. Baird the well known quartz miner from the Interior, after a careful examination of the specimen. estimates the gold value to be in excess of 5000.
 Mir. Baird says that there are mug gets of pure gold sticking out of the quartz that will weigh from three to seven dollars each and lots of them
 The locators claim that they have the ledge that produced this specimen in place and have about $2OOO in gold that they claim to have mortared out with a ogld pan and claw hammer
 The goild from Nugget Gulch has the appearance of gold that has only been released from quartz for a short time. and the existence of rich ledge in that section has long been suspect ed by placer miners working in the creek and the location of the ledge and the richness of the same does not come as a surprise at all to them.- Seward Gateway.

ALASKA SHOULD BE
 SAVED FROM FRIENDS

The Washington correspondent of this newspaper points out an insidious and dangerous form of opposition to the Alaska bill for the building of gov ernment railroads in Alaska, an oppo. sition which disguises itself behind the pretense of extreme friendliness to { that measure. It is not, however, to say that all who support the proposal referred to do so with sinister purpose, but it is likely there is such a pur- pose behind some of the pretended sup port.
 This danger comes in the demand that the government control of the rail. road and of everything else in Alaska should go much further than is pro i posed in the bill under consideration. The people responsible for this are in' sistent on having the bill amended in these directions. If they should be sue cessful, the actual effect would be to strengthen the opposition to the bill as a whole, and in all probability defeat It's final passage.
 The frank opposition to the bill which has to be met and dealt with in the open comes from those who are sin cerely opposed to the whole project of government ownership, and who look upon the government construc- ton of railroad in Alaska as the first step toward carrying into effect the radical proposals for government own ership of all railroad systems.
 That opposition can be overcome in part by the showing that the situa- tion in Alaska is peculiar and unique, having no relation to that in other parts of the country; that the action of the government itself has driven capital out of investments in trans portation lines which were once under way, and that it is but fair to the peo- pie of Alaska for the government it. self to furnish them with the transpor- tation facilities which they would have had 1t not been for governmental ac- tion.
 The attempts to add any socialistic conditions to the proposed law, if sue cessful, will simply result in the de- feat of the bill by the action of those who pose as peculiar friends of Alas ka, eager to safeguard its interests.
 Alaska should be save from such friends.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
