u UDES DISAPPEARANCE
on GERMAN PRESTIGE

The most notable feature OF this new
movement Of national aspiration Is
Tine sudden disappearance OF German
prestige ana influence. For year. Ger
many had been building up com
handing position in the commercial.
financial and industrial affairs OF Italy
The triple alliance was the political
bond. but German business men were
doing more than the politicians. Prac-
ticaily the entire import OF foreign
goods except coal. was controlled 10y
Germany. German capital established
great banks. built and operated rail
ways, electric light plants. factories.
hotels with German managers and
German walters. Some of the most
influential capitalists OF Italy were of
German origin or with German back
ing, and gradually German influence
became little short of predominant in
Italian affairs. Even in political and
international affairs German Influence
was often felt, and one Of the sins
laid against the great Giolitti-aud
unjustly laid against him---was that
his policy up to tho time of his re-
cent fall was inspired by Germany,
But this vast fabric of German in
fucncc in Italy was swept away al
most in day by the new movement
for the realization Of Italy's national
aspira tions. Up to that time, just be-
fore italy entered the war. Giolitti
had been tho great power in italian
affairs. believed by many to be the
greatest man since Cavour He had

Guarding the Canal.

A private letter which I received from a regular army officer at Panama shows what extreme precautions are being taken to prevent damage to the canal.
 This officer is at one of the locks on guard duty, with company of troops. Twenty-six soldiers, with an officer, go upon the locks at 6:45 o'clock in the morning and remain there constantly for twenty-four hours.
 There is no sleep for any one. Then another detail of twenty-six men and an officer come to the relief.
 Of the HOO workmen still engaged in the locks nearly all are black" ac- cording to my correspondent. They are now kept under constant watch, to see that no Mexican sympathizer plants bomb that would blow up the works.
 After the workmen quit at o'clock in the afternoon, no person is allowed to approach the locks or canal works. Philadelphia Ledger.

ENDANGER PEACE OF WORLD
Conflicts of Races the Great Question Which Statesmanship or War
 Must Settle.

MT. G. H. Lepper, in the Empire Review Oondon), apprehends that the purely white races of Europe, with their kinsmen by blood in North and South America, Australia and parts of Africa, will before long find them selves confronted by three most difi- cult racial problems, all of which must be solved by statesmanship if seri- ous conflicts that may stagger civili- zation are to be averted. These prob lems are as follows: The first is the relationship between the white and yellow races in the Pacific, including, of course, the claims of Japan to a front place in the comity of nations. Then there Is the position of Indians in the British empire; a many-sided question. Thirdly, the relations be- tween whites and negroes both in Africa and in the New World are so far from being regulated as to threat en variety of complications bristling with peril.
 A difficulty has to be solved in Brit ish Columbia, where stringent restric- tions on Indian immigration are in force. There is much to be said in favor of the writer's contention that the time has come for definite de- marcation of territorial reserves.

rItanIe wldows, Money.

Arising out of the loss of the IT tanic, several applications under the workmen's compensation act were heard at Southampton (England) county court. It was stated that in three cases the widows of members of the Titanic's crew had married again.
 In one case Judge Gye said: "She can have the money, but I shall com municate with the treasury. It seems to me unfair that the children should be deprived of all the compensation when the widow uses it for the pur- pose of getting married again. Com pensation was paid for the express reason that she was dependent on her husband. She is not now."-From the London Mail.

Unlimited MusseIs.

The mussel will probably prove valuable commercial bivalve of the Oregon coast in the near future. From Agate beach to Siletz bay and farther north there is apparently an unlimited quantity of mussels clinging to the rocks along the beach. s. G. Irwin of Agate Beach sent some samples to Prof Hodge of the social biology de- partment of the University of Oregon and received an enthusiastic letter in reply that Prof. Hodge was so inn pressed with the mussels that he had sent some of his samples to Prof. Irv- ing A. Field of Clark university, Worcester, Mass, who, Prof. Hodge said, was responsible for making mus sells a commercial staple.

eenoa's Capture a Century Aqo.

One hundred years ago the rich city of Genoa, familiar to all readers of American history as the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, was taken by a force of English and Sicilians. For centuries Genoa had been a pawn on the chessboard of European politics. In 1895 it had been annexed to the French empire.t Now. in consequence of the overthrow of Napoleon, it was wrested from France and some months later united to the kingdom of Sar- dinia- The army that captured the city on this date 100 years ago was in command of Lord William Bentinck, a celebrated English general. Many years later this same English general, while serving as governor-general of India, earned enduring fame by abol- ishing the "Suttee," the custom in h. dia which required widows to be burned on the funeral pyres of their husbands.

Working of Instinct.

A young man in Paris had lost his last sou at the gambling table. Not only was he without means, but he had lost large sum belonging to his employer. He started for the Seine with the intention of drowning him. self. On the way there was a great commotion, caused by the escape of a lion from a strolling menagerie. The animal came galloping down the street and people fled in every direction. h. stantly the man who was seeking death climbed lamp-post and clung to the top of it, trembling in every limb. When the animal was captured and the danger over he proceeded to the river and plunged in.

Field Notes From The County
 Engineers Office

The bids on road contracts Nos. 2, 8, g. 10, Il. 12. and 13 were opened and the contracts awarded on Tuesday last. All were satisfactory to the county with the exception of No. g (dragging the county road be- tween The Cedars" and Snow f1ake) for which the bids were so excessive that no contract was awarded.
 Do the people of thls county really wish to have bridges? If so why not get busy with a petition for a bond issue for that pur- pose? The engineers office will welcome correspondence regard ing this.
 The old Mexican Crossing" above Woodruff has been placed in fairly good condition for freight traffic; short span bridge would be of much service near there.
 The Snowflake Wash is now passable for all traffic. Estima- tes are now in course of prepara- tion for permanent crossing at this point.
 Contracts are being prepared for work on the county road near Showlow and Lakeside and also near the Petrified Forest.
 The new Rio Puerco road IS now open. to travel although the bridge four miles from Holbrook is yet uncompleted.
 Sixteen teams from this coun- ty are now working on the state highway between Clear Creek and Winslow.
 The county's long needed road roller is coming.

A process of canning eggs has been recently devised which is said to meet with the approval of. the agricultural department In the first place the workers are attired in sanitary gar ments which offer little or no oppor- tunity for the lodgment of the trouble some germ, and before beginning work tine hands of the workers are carefully sterilized. The eggs are candled, and each one is broken in cup so that should it not be right the others will not be contaminated. When a worker breaks bad egg, the sterilization of the hands must be gone through again and all the implements made use of in opening the eggs again cleaned. When the cans are filled the eggs are frozen and are kept in this state until they are to be used by the baker.
