held almost a balance of power in
passing the budget In order to put
stop to such Polish authority the
number of delegates from Poland was
cut TO u, a portion of them being cleo
ted to represent the whole people and
portion representing the Russians.
For example the government Of wilma
elects five delegates for the whole
population and two for the Russian
population, so that. in the Duma
there are two sets Of Polish delegates,
one representing the whole people Of
Poland, with Mr. Dmowski for some
years at the head of this delegation,
and another set elected from the same
places to represent the Russians
These are the peculiar internal con
ditons which are now coming under
German authority, at least during the
military occupation. during which it
is expected that a German civil re-
gime will be set up in place Of the
Russian administration. And in view
of Russia's experience, interest is cen
tering on whether Germany will fol-
low a similar course Of Germanizing
the Polish territory or will seek to
reconcile the Poles by bringing their
three branches together under some
form Of autonomous government.

AT THE UNIVERSITY
Many Inquiries Received BY COL

Want Practical instruction in
Their Work.

AAlkI WV ~
TUCSON, Sept 1.-The number of
inquiries that have been received rela-
tive to the short course for miners to
be given by the College of Mines &
Engineering of the University Of Art
iona, has proved that there is great
demand for such work. The particu-
lar value of the short course as it is
to be given by the University lies in
the method by which it is to be con-
Quoted, which method is the intensive
study OF one subject for two weeks.
Thecourse is outlined to be thorough
ly practical.
In as much as the courses that are
of particular interest to the prospect
OTIS start early in October, it is de-
sirable that those interested make
their plans for attendance early I'm
der the course outlined, students may
take two, four, six or any number Of
weeks. the whole year making an adj
mirable trade course in mining.
The first course starts October A.,
being elementary mineralogy and
blow-pipe analysis, a knowledge Of
which is absolutely essential TO sue
cessful prospecting. Special pamphlets
on this work are being mailed by the
University
Besides the above course in element

past two years in the Wenatchee valley.
Much the same metod in other lines Of
activity-manufacturing and railroad
ing--is responsible for the nationwide
depression. Speculative value is worth
less as collateral. The productive value
of bearing orchards in the Wenatchee
valley is somewhere between $500 and
$500 per acre, and as collateral at the
banks, on which to borrow money, it
has a value Of from $500 to $500.
When it comes to borrowing money on
land, bankers estimate the productive
value as basis and usually loan money
up to so per cent OF conservative
valuation. Because land values had
not been raised out Of proportion to its
productive value in the Upper Wenat-
chez valley there have been few, if any,
and for this reason, when
the reaction comes, as come it will in
1916, it is in better shape to take ad-
vantage of the revival. We confidently
expect the upper valley to enter on an
era OF prosperity next year.

Annual Vacations for Western Union
fmpIOYeS

AS Christmas present the Western
Union Telegraph Company is mailing
its employees notification that beginning
with the year 1916 employees will be
given annual vacations. Those having
been continuously employed for two
years or more will be given a two-week
vacation and those employed for one
year or more will be given a week
every year. This is in line with what
is becoming quite general with large
companies by way Of showing their ap-
probation of faithful service, and will
be worth all it costs the company
Whether it is prompted by sound bust
ness judgment or philanthropy does
not matter. 1t will be appreciated by
the men and remove some OF the
grains that cause friction between labor
and capital.

Substitute for German Dyes
Found in Texas

One Of the things that the great
European war has done is to stimulate
the American genius OF invention and
discovery. Edison's electric works de-
pended on Germany for certain sub
stances that were necessary in his great
industry. When the German supply
was shut off by the war he went to
work and made his own supply OF the
necessary article. Americans have Tor
many years depended on Germany Tor
dye stufs. Ever since the supply was
cut off, American chemists have been
working on substitute for the German
coal tar dyes.
Director Weiss Of the Forest Product
Laboratory at Madison. Wisconsin, has
discovered a new and promising source
OF yellow dye in the Usage orange wood
OF the middle western states. The
Usage orange Aourishes in Illinois and
Indiana, but is more common in Texas
and Oklahoma. In the Southern states
the tree is called bois de arc--pro-
nounced by the natives, bodark, a cor
ruption OF the French name. In the
middle states it is practically valueless,
principally because it attains no size,
being usually only few inches in diam
eter. In the South, where the writer
was quite familiar with the tree, it
grows to diameter Of several feet, but
the trunk or body of the tree is not
long. The wood is Of a bright yellow
color, very hard, and resists decay
longer than any other wood. A fence
post of bodark has been known to
stand IS years without showing the
slightest evidence OF decay. 1t neither
swells nor shrinks, or at least so little
as to be negligible. 1t thrlves best IN
the river bottoms of Texas, where thou
sands of acres are covered with the
trees.
The coloring matter yielded by the
wood is a lemon yellow, but by various
treatments it can be made to produce
all shades from an orange brown to the
lightest fawn. It will dye either cotton
or wooden material, and silk manufac-
turers are experimenting with it for
their fabrics. Director Weiss says that
the coloring matter can be extracted at
small exoense, and that the dyes made
from it ought to cost less than German
coal-tar dyes.

have no export duty we cannot favor
the American ship owner in the export
traffic.
Another thing that our government
cannot regulate is the cost OF ships.
European-built vessels, on account OIL
the lower labor cost, can be built for al
least one-third less, which reduces the
cost of operating steamship lines by
just that much, and consequently low
ers the carrying rate. Some of the
European governments subsidize their
shipping lines for the privilege OF TAX
ing the ships over in the event of war.
II the government Of the United States
will grant ship subsidy to offset the
difference in the cost OF the ship and
the difference in American and cheap
labor, it might be possible to build up
an American merchant marine.
There are three ways to build up an
American shipping marine: Let Amer
lean ship owners buy their ships where
they can buy them cheapest and en-
ploy cheap labor to operate them; the
government to build the ships and OPP
crate them at increased cost of labor
and building and operate them at a
loss; the government to substitute pri-
vately owned ships to an amount equal
to the increased cost of labor in one
event and the increased cost of labor
plus the increased cost OF American
built ships in the other.

Why Can't Peshastin Have Better
Phone Service?

Every phone holder should make a
strong complaint against the telephone
and telegraph service we are compelled
to put up with. Since the 10 cent tax
has been added to the cost Of talking
to Leavenworth score of complaints
have been heard OF on different occa-
sions, as to the enormous charges for
sending out 10 or 12word telephone
message, which has cost the sender 40
or so cents. Several times important
messages have been much delayed ow-
ing to the way they have to be handled.
Peshastin central is powerless to i'm
prove the service as it should be. The
business men of Leavenworth should
be the ones to make the hardest kick,
as the people down the valley will not
pay toll between here and the town
three miles away when there is free
service to Cashere and Wenatchee.
1t seems like it is really up to the
Leavenworth business men to take this
matter up if they want to hold the tele
phone trade with the people down the
valley. What Peshastin really needs is
a night and day telegraph Office, where
a message could be sent or received at
any time.

The Stupidity of Our Marine Laws

The last democratic congress passed
a law which destroyed the last vestige
of American shipping engaged in for
eign commerce. The law repealed
was bad enough. Still, under it, few
lnes-the Pacific Mail Steamship Co.
for one-was able to exist. But since
the new law went into effect that and
all other lines have passed to foreign
ownership. The new law provides that
a considerable per cent of the en-
ployees on ship under American reg
istry shall be citizens Of the United
States. Because American wages are
the highest in the world it was impossi-
BILE to operate American ships in COM
petition with foreign-owned ships that
paid only so much wage as they were
compelled to pay. In other words,
employed the cheapest labor they could
get-most often Chinese labor for the
common seamen. The democratic
congress doubtless passed the existing
law to benefit American labor, but for
got that fixing wages on the ocean, be-
yond the three-mile limit, was entirely
out Of the jurisdiction OF an American
congress. We can pass laws fixing the
rate Of wages in any and all occupa-
tons inside the United States, and can
even make the law reach three miles
out into the ocean to affect coastwise
traffic, but beyond that limit the ocean
belongs to every nation on this globe.
Neither can congress pass laws to COM
pei shippers, American or foreign, to
patronize ships under the flag of the
United States, if they do not for any
reason want to. And they never will
as long as the foreign ship owner can
make lower rate because of lower
cost of operation.
The present congress proposes to in
vest $50,000,000 dollars Of the taxpay-
ers' money in aforementioned
merchant marine. Right here comes
in very interesting question. If pri-
vate companies cannot compete in the
ocean traffic with the foreign-owned
ship, how can the government do so
without losing money! Because OF
course it is not to be expected that the
government will employ cheap labor.
To compete with the foreign-owned
ship our government-owned ship must
carry freight at loss. Since it is i'm
possible Tor our government to fix the
rate of wages on the high seas, how is
it possible to benefit American work
ingmen by compelling American ship
owners to employ them2 Why not
recognize the inevitable, and permit
American ship owners to employ cheap
labor7 1t might be possible by dis
eliminating import duties to favor the
American ship owner, but how about
our export trader The foreign buyer
of our products would want his goods
shipt by the cheapest method. AS we

FIVE PIANO NUMBERS
BY CHARLES MACKEY
Recently Returned From Europe,
Harrisburg Musician Announces
May Concert

An event of this city's musical sea-
son will be the piano recital by Charles
Mackey. of this city, who will play in
Fahnestock Hall Monday evening, May
10. Mr.. Mackey has recently returned
after a three years residence in Ber-
lin, where he was under the personal
instruction of such brilliant lights of
the musical world as Joseph LheVinne.
Max Fielder and Ernest Hutcheson.
He was referred to by these authori-
ties as "one of the most excellent and
striking instances of American mu-
sical talent"
Mr.. Mackey's plans, including Ber-
lin recitals, were interrupted by the
present state of affairs in Europe and
suddenly terminated in the odd eX-
perience of his arrest as a Russian
spy, in spite of which episode Mr..
Mackey maintains a fervent sympathy
for his newly formed friends. Bach,
Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Gluck,
Grieg. Debussy and List will be rep
resented in Mr.. Mackey's program.
