Austrian Emperor Passes
 His 85th Milestone Today

e
 Efghty-flve years of life will be rounded out today by His Most Cath Fo1ic Majesty Francis Joseph Charles, Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, and also King of Bohe- 1 mia, of Dalmatia, of Croatia, of Sta- vonia,, of Galicia, of Ledomeria and of Il1yria, and of other lands conpos- ing his heterogeneous empire. The aged monarch who has occupied the throne of the Ducal Monarchy for nearly 67 years, has often been re-, ported on the brink of death, and. for a decade or more his passing and its results have been a subject of eager l discussion in Europe. It has been predicted that his death would be
 speedily followed by the dissolution of the patchwork nation which he has held together by sheer force of will and power of personality. As matters now stand, however, the per sonality of the Emperor has shrunk into insignif1cance, and Mars has be- come the arbiter of the fate of the empire. AmoIig the Allies there is little disposition to criticize the old
 Emperor and this toleration, too is manifested in the face of the fact that it was-at least; to outward seeming-the Austrian u1timatum to Serbia which precipitated the conflict
 There is reason to believe that Great Britain and France have no special aninosity toward Austria and it's Elm
 peror, but this spirit of tolerance is
 not shared by Italy, Russia and Ser bia-
 Although the Germans, Slavs, Mag vars and Bohemians among his sub jects have scant love for each other. they are at one in an affectionate re- gard for their AaIter Herr Gold gentIenan1, as the Emperor is com morly called "Old gentleman well describes the Emperor of latter. days. for, although cruel and ruthless and far from moral in his younger days. he has mel1owed into the type of the lbenefcent, kindly gentleman of. the old school His states are simple
 He drinks little, and of late has given up smoking. ntiI a few years ago he was a devotee of Lady Nicotine, but he had no liking for the fragrant products of Havana, and preferred long, thin cigars made of Virginia to-
 bacco,s similar to the stogies which ise1I on this side of the Atlantic at
 two for five cents. He has all the AoId 1 gentIeman's dislike of modern 1nven- ltions. and the telephone and type
 writer are his special abominatIons.
 As a linguist the. Austrian Emperor
 has. no equal among the worlds SOW iereignS.S for he has round dozen
 Languages at his tongues end-twice as many as Emperor William.

THE COMMON
 USE OF GOLD

I. The big balance of trade in favor of this country is no doubt going to bring a vast amount of gold across the water. The shipment of $2o. 1000. 900 is only the beginning of it. Will this inflow lead to more common use of the yellow metal in daily life?
 In, Europe gold coins have always been popular in retail use. Coins like the English sovereign jor the French 90 franc piece are the common change for paying the butcher and the grocer. about a little roll of gold coins that makes one feel rich. It is much more cheering than an equivalent amount in more or less soi1ed greenbacks.
 Also there is a cIeanness about gold coins that is pleasing to fastfdious taste. The paper bill is a trap for grease and brings its trail of dirt from every pocket. Many banks exer- else a great deal of care nowadays to give out only clean money. Yet a crisp roll of bills, pleasing as it is to eye and other senses, sometimes sticks together. so that people may. possibly hand out two bills in place of one.
 The popular objection to gold has always been that it. takes care to handle it. Some, persons have no doubt paid it out for bright copper cents. In gold using countries, people are used to handing gold coins and they keep them in separate purses. Our people are too hurried and nasty for additional precautions.
 In older days the American people used to handle hard money pretty freely. But the preference for paper currency has become an ingrained na- tionaI trait. and will no doubt con- tinue. Piles of yellow metal are said to have a quieting effect on depositors in times of panic. But other than that the publfcss connection with it is mostly theor etical.

doubt forgotten more than this biped
ever knew or will know? Thurston
county should be congratulated in
possessing SO great a parsonage.
Now, what are the facts in the
case? The factional fights in Mexico
have been going on for four years,
and the "gringoes" clamoring for in
tervention, which would have meant
the sacrifice of thousands of our best
men and vast amount of money.
Our president thought that diplo-
macy was better than brute force
and acted accordingly. The result is
the recognition of Carranza as pro-
visional president by about seven
different countries, and he is not a
"greaser" by jugfull, and he's not
laughing in his sleeve. l ask, in all
candor, is this not better than war,
even if Carranza fails to carry out
his intentions? His pledges are as
follows:

"2. The Carranza government as
sumes full responsibility for claims
growing out of the revolution and
will adjust them equitably by means
of international commissions.
"3. No one will suffer in his life
or property on account of religious
beliefs; all priests and nuns who
have not taken part in Mexican poll
tics will be permitted to return, and
will be protected, provided they do
not participate in politics, and obey
the laws governing the separation Of
church and state.
-. A decree of amnesty is in
preparation which will enable all
elements, irrespective Of political af-
filiations heretofore, to return to
Mexico, with the exception of those
guilty of completely in the plot to
kill Madero or who are charged with
civil crimes. A few political leaders
who hitherto have opposed the Car
rama government will not be per-
mitted to return until the govern
ment is firmly established, and then
only as they will pledge allegiance
to it,"
Do you see anything wrong about

PROSPECTS FOR OIL
UNIVERSITY GEOLOGIST SAYS
HON FORMATION ON PENN.
SULA MOST LIKELY FIELD.
J. G. CONNIE.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON.
Prospects for any considerable
crop of Goal Oil Johnnies" in the
state of Washington, outside Of the
Olympic peninsula, are slender, in
the estimation of DR.. Charles e.
Weaver, assistant professor of geol-
|ogy.
DR.. Weaver has made careful
study of this question, which has
perennially agitated one portion or
another of the state, and the results
are shortly to be printed in the Trans
actions of the American Institute Of
Mining Engineers under the title:
'The Possible Occurrence Of Oil and
Gas Fields in Washington" The ar
ticle was read at the institute meet
ing in San Francisco recently.
From the geological conditions
known to exist in the Cascade noun
tains and in eastern Washington the
chances for the occurrence of petro-
leum deposits in commercial quanti-
ties are very unfavorable," he writes.
adding that conditions are thought to
be unfavorable in the Puget Sound
Basin.
May or May Not Be Found.
I'm the latter region the forma-
tions have either been formed under
conditions which would not allow or
ganic material to accumulate as a
source of petroleum. or everything
strata have been SO extensively
eroded that even though oil deposits
may have existed once, they must
long since have been destroyed"
Neither hope nor disbursement
is held out for prospectors in Thurs
ton, western Lewis, Cowlitz, Pacific
and southern Chehalis counties. DR..
Weaver says no seepages or direct in
dications of the presence OF petro-
leum are known to occur. There are
no facts which would prohibit it's oc-
currence and none to suggest it's
presence.
Test Holes Necessary.
"The only definite indications of
the presence of petroleum within the
state occur on the western side of
the Olympic peninsula in the Hob for
nation" he says. cat several places
seepages of oil and emanations of gas
are known to occur" Whether this
oil is present in commercial quanti-
ties, DR.. Weaver says can only be de-
termined by drilling where the struc-

One difficulty in the Hob river re-
gion is that the deposits of oil, If
present, would not necessarily exist
beneath the areas where seepages
occur upon the surface; nor is there
any possible method of predicting at
what depths oil-bearing zones may be
expected to occur. THE Indications"
he says, ARE sufficient to warrant q
very careful examination and a series

today printed indignant articles de-

clared that Japan's advice has been

to pass, is considered extremely sig
