SIGN PEACE TREATIES.
U. $. Closes Pacts With England,
France, Spain and China.

WASHINGTON, September 1S.-
Peace treaties between the United
States and England, France, Spain
and China--countries whose combin-
ed population is more than two-thirds
of the total of the earth-were signed
here Tuesday.
The Washington government at
taches the highest Importance to the
signing Of the new treaties. The pacts
provide that all disputes shall be SUBJ
mitted to a permanent commission
for investigation during a period of
one year.
Similar in principle to the 90 treat
les signed with Central and South
America and few European coun-
tries, 10 of which have been ratified
by the senate, these four pacts
are regarded by officials and
diplomats as the most advanced step
which the American government has
taken to forward the cause of peace.

TACOMA SHIPPING ACTIVE
War Stimulates Export Trade There
Reaches Out to South America.

While shipping the world over has
been practically paralyzed by Euro
pean war and marine business prac-
tically destroyed, six big ocean
freighters loaded wheat, lumber and
miscellaneous cargo at Tacoma last
week for the Orient, Australia and
South America, and this week five
more big carriers took on export car
go at Tacoma docks. A total of 49,
500 tons of wheat was shipped in the
past week and so rapid has been the
exporting of wheat that the big ware
houses along the waterfront have
been merely transfer sheds, the grain
passing almost direct from cars to
ships.
With trade with England, Ger
many. France and Russia practically
terminated, Tacoma manufacturers
and exporters are turning their atten-
ton to the South American field of
commerce and are beginning to reach
out and gather in the trade with the
countries of the sister continent that
was formerly dominated by the ma
tions now warning in Europe. The
result has been evidenced along the
Tacoma waterfront by the large num-
Der of carriers, loading export car
goes In the past week, and still great
er activity will obtain in the future.

STATE FAIR NEXT WEEK
Many Interesting Features Promised
For Annual Show This Year.

Next Monday the state fair, which
promises to be the best in the history
of that event, opens at North Yakima.
All displays will be in place by Mon
day noon. AS a show room of the
factories of the state, the fair will
undoubtedly pass any former at
tempt, and it has been found neces-
sary to erect large tent adjoining
the manufactures hall to accommo-
date the belated entries.
The features of this years fair
which promises to put it ahead of
all previous state events, include the
racing program, which on account of
the cancellation of the Canadian cir
cult events will have the pick of the
best harness horses of the North
west; the live stock exhibit, which
will include not only the best herds
of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
British Columbia, but also exhibits
of many eastern breeds not raised in
this section of the country, and the
state fish exhibit, prepared for the
Panama-Pacific exposition at San
Francisco, to be shown at North va
kima for the first time in this state.
Tuesday will be Governors Day
and Children's Day; Wednesday the
candidates for United States senator
will be given their innings; Thursday
comes the biggest livestock parade in
the history of the Northwest when
more than 1000 head of fancy stock
will be shown, and Friday wilf be
Derby Day.

DEMOCRATS CARRY MAINE
Wilson's Policies Endorsed by State
Considered Political Barometer.

PORTLAND, Me-, September 49,
Democrats received with enthusiastic
Joy the news that the voters Of Maine
had given President Wilson's admin:
istration an enthusiastic Endorsement
by electing Mayor Oakley c. Curtis
OF Portland, Democrat, governor
Of the state by majority of from
5000 to 1000 votes.
For years Republicans and Demo-
Gratis have looked on Maine as a po-
litical barometer, gauging the politi-
cal sentiment of the nation by the
result of the Maine election, which
Is held earlier than other state elec-
tions. A determined campaign was
made on national issues. noted speak
ers from all three parties stumping
the state and the question of a direct
Endorsement of President Wilson's
administration was the question rails
ed.
The returns show a Republican
and a Democratic gain over two years
ago, both profiting at the expense OF
the Progressives.

uANQ CLEARING NOT

COMMITTEE DECLARES ALIEN

= MENT UNSOUND.

Declaring that the alien landown-

Southwestern Washington's sub-com-
mittee on logged-off lands, has sub
mitted a report to the effect that the
state should not actively undertake
the clearing of such lands but should
assist through research work to learn
the best and cheapest ways to accom-.
plish it. H. L. Whiting. secretary OF
the Olympia Chamber of Commerce
is chairman of this subcommittee.
The report states that land-clear.
ing Is "A business by itself, which
should be undertaken only by experts
and recommends that the legislature
authorize research work on the sub.
ject by the Western Washington ex.
pertinent station. adding that If this
station kept in closer touch with new
settlers there would be less failures
1t urges all holders of large tracts
Of these lands to sell them but recog.
nizes that an "incessant campaign OF
education" will be necessary to in.
duce them to dispose of their hold
ings. 1t urges the starting of a Wig.
orous campaign to demonstrate the
unprof1tableness of holding land
without deriving income from it
proposes that the average farm be re.
duced from 100 to 20, 40 or so acres
and proposes the advocacy of the
benefits and advantages Of intensive
cultivation of a few acres.
Discussing the credit feature, il
suggests that at least the same terms
as apply to the purchase of state
school lands-10 per cent cash and
the balance in 10 equal annual in
stalments-be given those buying
logged-off lands from private parties
and hopes that some plan can be
worked out whereby the settler on a
tract of this raw land would need
no more capital than if he were to
take up a homestead, saying that
"these uncleared lands are for men
whose capital is mainly in Drawn and
muscle, energy and courage"
