From recent issue of the Wenatchee
World it is learned that Mansfield,
Douglas county, is the greatest wheat
shipping point on the Great Northern
railroad, and in connection with the
article making this claim are pictures
OF huge stack of sacked grain, and a
view of what appears to be consider
able of a town. To those who knew the
country surrounding Mansfield twenty
five years ago the statement that it is
the premier wheat shipping point of a
great transcontinental road is almost
unbelievable. For one, We cannot re-
alize this Transformation. Within our
recollection the land surrounding the
town of Mansfield was classed as arid
and considered practically worthless
We have seen it when the country was
a colorless desert from all outward
and visible evidence. Sage brush and
scant growth of bunch grass covered
rough knobs of basaltic rock standing
out like exclamation points. There
was not a farm house to be seen as far
as the eye could reach, and the eye
could reach long distance over that
barren waste. Not fence prevented
cutting across country in vehicle
from the head of Moses coulee to
Grand coulee. The whole plateau was
a silent desolation with here and
there. in the summer time, spirals of
dust. the action of miniature whirl-
winds as break in the tiresome mo-
notony, while in winter it was a cold,
cherries outlook without a sign of
human habitation to break the surface
of the white shroud. The land was con
sidered valueless. and during the first
four years that the U. s., land office
was in operation at Waterville not a
filing was entered on that vast terri
tory. At last some bold pioneer farmer
had the hardihood to turn the sod, and
the land responded with bounteous

So far during the session, which is
half over, the legislators have been
commercially modest in the matter of
introducing bills providing for new
laws, which is a pleasing contrast to
the record made by previous legisla-
lures in this state. This does not mean
that the practice of suggesting new
laws has been abandoned entirely, for
that would be too much to expect of
the average man sent to the legisla-
ture, but where there is an inclination
to curb the habit of stuffing the statue
books freak legislation is not so no.
|ticeable. However, one bill recently in
PRODUCED by some member of that body
should be killed early, and that is a
bill providing for a commission of
three members to pass upon moving
picture films. To those who might be
selected for the commission is an at
tractive section providing for a salary
of $500 per annum for each of the
fortunate members of the board. There
is no call for a commission of moving
picture censors in this state, for the
pictures are passed upon at the time
OF their production, and If not found
proper in the eyes of the censors are
condemned. This censorous legislator
would command more respect and con-
sideration if he would devise some
ways and means of cutting down the
army of commissioners now living fat
at the expense of the state, thereb
showing a disposition to practice in
slight measure the economy that tax
payers are bowling for.

Numerous land owners are prepar-
ing to take advantage Of the new land
law which allows the filing on $40
acres. They should be careful and have
all of their papers with them when
calling upon the U. S. commissioner
to make their application, as it is nee
essary to have the date of proof and
serial number of entry. Some of the
early homesteaders have been able to
secure this data by referring to the
old files of the Prospector, in which
their intention to make proof were
published. but this requires much time
and trouble, unless the homesteader
knows exactly the date on which he
made proof. Those who advertised in
the early issues of the Gazette will be
as there is not full file

SERIOUS SITUATION.

Following the announcement made
by Germany last week that it was the
intention OF that country to inaugu-
rate and wage ruthless and merci-
less submarine warfare against all
vessels, neutrals or otherwise, within
certain zones, which included about all
the open sea around England, France
and the Mediterranean, President Will
son, Saturday severed diplomatic re-
lations with Germany. The German
ambassador was given his passports,
and the American ambassador and
consuls in Germany were recalled. 1t
was a bold sroke and there is no tell
ing what it will lead up to. Such ac-
ton Is tantamount to a declaration of
war 1t is said that the severance of
diplomatic relations between two ma
items has never taken place without
war following.
That the president was justifefid
under the circumstances in taking the
step that he did, few Americans will
question. Indeed when his note to
Germany at the time Of the sinking OF
the steamer Sussex by a submarine,
b. which act several American citi-
zens were drowned, is taken into con-
sideration, it can be readily seen that
there were only two courses open for
him to pursue One was to humbly and
cowardly back down from his former
position, the other to stand by his
word and carry into effect his decla-
ration of intention. 1t is almost incon-
ceivable that a president of the United
States would SO humiliate himself as
to show the white feather, and had he
done so, he would have aroused i
storm of indignation throughout the
land. Under the provocation he could
not have acted otherwise than he did
It is regrettable that he did not dis
play the same firmness of spirit at the
time of the sinking of the Lusitania
and indiscriminate murder of neutrals
would have ended at that time.
The situation just now is very crit
ical War, it would appear is almost
inevitable. Warlike preparations are
being rushed on the sea coasts all over
the country. Every precaution is being
taken against enemies without and any
disloyal element that may develop
within the country. There is bare
possibility that actual hostilities may
