SURPRISING SABOTAGE

immigration officials of the north
west have received orders from
Secretary Wilson to enforce a vigor-
Gus policy for the suppression of an
archists and all who advocate
sabotage and other forms of lawless-
ness. The secretary's action was in
answer to the request from en-
ployers and civic organizations of
Seattle and other cities of this
region. Wholesale internment or de
portation is advised for those per-
sons who are responsible for the
industrial unrest, especially in the
logging camps. Orders for the sup
preston of radical propaganda by
aliens will probably be the next step
the government takes to put stop
to extremists who seek to interfere
with the prosecution of the war
from any motive whatsoever.

M0NTANANS WANT DEATH
PENALTY FOR DISLOYALT1

Following an address by Dan A
Reed, representative of the
United States food administration
last Saturday evening, two thou
sand Missoula people adopted with
out a dissenting vote a resolution
calling for decisive action against
"all those who fail to uphold OF
strive to beat down the arm of tho
government in this supreme crisis
of the nation.
The resolutions ask that "every
person who, by actor word, seeks
to discourage in any measure the
effectiveness of the armed forces in
the field, the enlistments at home
or the production of war industries
may find swift justice, even to the
extent of a summary execution of
the death penalty"

WASHINGTON WEEKLY
INDUSTRIAL REVIEW

Toppenish to vote on $4,000 bono
issue for new high school, Mar. 2
The future of Washington's great
shipbuilding industry depends to q
large extent on the passage of
measures encouraging to building up
the American merchant marine after
the war. Now is the time to begin
to figure on such measures.
Aberdeen-Machinery installed at
Grays Harbor Motorship plant, to
start soon.
Yakima is to have a new three

has begun construction work on the
fourth of five big reservoirs by
means of which $4,000 acres of
land in the Yakima valley will be
put under irrigation.
Walla Walla valley farmers are
signing up big sugar beet acreage.
1t cannot be shown that political
agitations help industries, payrolls
or business conditions. Agitation as
business proposition makes bust
ness for agitators only.

veloped logged-off lands sold to

BLESSINGS AT THE FRONT

A very poignant story reaches
Mr.. Punch of London indirectly
from the trenches. A gallant Tom
my, having received from England
an anonymous gift of socks, en-
tered them at once, for he was
about to undertake a heavy march
He was soon a prey to the most
eXcruciating agony in the big toe,
and when, a mere cripple, he drew
off his footgear at the end Of a
terrible day, he discovered inside
the toe of the sock what had once
been a piece of stiff writing paper,
now reduced to pulp, and on it an
peared in bold feminine hand the
almost illegibe benediction: "God
bless the wearer of this pair of
socks"

DRAFTING FARM LABOR

The farmer is being asked to pro-
duce to the maxium; yet the
exemption boards throughout the
country are insufficiently impressed
with the Importance of conserving
farm labor. The farmers, as class,
have not asked exemption from mill
tary duty, but they are right in ask
ing that they be not adjured by one
part of the government to produce,
and prevented by another Indeed,
there is sound reason for the COM
plete exempting of farm labor, and
it seems absolutely essential to the
efficient waging of the war.
Many local' exemption boards
through fear of being suspected OF
accused of partially are placing
farm managers, assistant managers
and skilled hands in class one. The
gravity of this mistake and the
menace such move will bring, clear
" has not come home to the draft
officials. The war department
should issue clear and emphatic in
structions on this subject.
One of the most important parts
of Americas war program is the
maximum production of food. How
can such production be accomplished
if all the farm labor is drafted 70
military service? There is an in
consistency here which should be
corrected, and a grave mistake
which should be remedied with all
possible speed.

ON A BROAD AMERICAN BASIS

In his annual address to the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce
President Friedrich ]. Roster sound
ed some high keynotes for that
organization when he declared most
positively that it was not opposed
to unions as such, but was opposed
to what was unrighteous, unlawful
and dictatorial on the part of such
organizations.
He tackled the sore spot, the
diseased condition of San Francisco
industrially, called things by their
right names, and won public con-
fidence.
He showed trucculent city officials
were shamed into doing their duty
by the higher standards of public
duty erected by the aroused business
men of the city.
His annual address sounds a new
slogan for the whole state of Cali
fornia and the entire west
"characterful leadership" about
which intelligent, conservative ant
lawabiding individuals as well as
organizations shall group themselves
This new platform of public spirit
demands that the highest type Of
citizens shall serve the state, county
city or school administration as &
public and patriotic duty for per
sonal honor, but not for persona
profiteering.

HINTS TO AUTO OWNERS

The Spokane office of the Stand
ard Oil company has recently re-
ceived a list of suggestions on the
methods to save more gasoline.
These suggestions are recommended
by the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce. The rules not
only save more gas but users of
motor vehicles will be benefited
personally and individually through
more efficient and more economical
operation of cars. Here are the
rules:
1. Store gasoline in underground
steel tanks.
2. Use measuring pump and hose.
They prevent loss by fire, evapora-
ton and spilling.
8. Don't spill or expose gasoline
to ART evaporates rapidly and is
dangerous.
d. Don't use gasoline for cleaning
and washing-use kerosene or other
materials to cut grease.
5. Stop all gasoline leakage. Form
habit of shutting off gas at tank or
feed pipe
6. Adjust brake bands so they do
not drag. See that all bearings run
freely.
7. Don't let the engine run when
car is standing. 1t is good for a
starter battery to be used fire.
quently.
s. Have carburetors adjusted at
service stations of carburetor or au-
tomobile companies-they will make
ordinary adjustments without
charge.
9. Keep needle valve clean and
adjust carburetor (while engine is
hot) to use as lean a mixture as
possible. A rich mixture fouls, the
engine and is wasteful.
10. Pre-heat air entering carburet-
or keep radiator covered in cold
weather-this will insure better va
poriZation.
II. See that spark is timed cor
rectly with engine and drive with
spark fully advanced-a late spark
increases gas consumption.
~. Have hot spark, keep plugs
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-03-22
lean and spark points properly adj

clean and spark points properly adj
justed.
Is. Avoid high speed. The average
car is most economical at Is to 25
miles an hour.
IA. Don't accelerate and stop
quickly-it wastes gas and wears
out tires. Stop engine and coast
long hills.
Is. Cut down aimles and needless
use of cars. Do a number of err
rands in one trip.
16. Know your mileage per gallon.
Fill tank full and divide odometer
mileage by gallons consumed.

Combined Effort.

The great artist who paints picture which compels the admiration of the world does not do so with one sweep of the brush in one moment of inspirs- ton. The great masterpiece is the product of thousands of strokes of the brush, of inflnitesimal bits of pigment put on the canvas layer after layer, each done with consummate art. Every tiny bit of paint, every swift stroke does its tiny part toward what becomes at last marvel of ages. So must we work, stroke by stroke, bit here and bit there, until our masterpiece has been completed.
 One of the battlions which took part in the recent capture of Jersalem was the Royal Scots," This regiment is probably the oldest line regiment in the world, and possesses the title of "Pontius Pilates Bodyguard." Tee origin of this strange name is the leg end that they are descended from a body of Scotsmen who were drafted into the Roman service and posted in Jerusalem at the time of the Crucifix- ion. And now history repeats itself, and the regiment is to be found again on duty in the Holy Land.

Although tunneling Is among the most ancient of enterprises. more pro- gress has been made in the last cen. tury than in the twenty centuries which preceded 1t. It is now known that back in the semimythical days of the Theban kings the long tunnel into the mountain rock. expanding at dis tance of 400 feet or so, into some lofty chamber, was common work.

AGREE ON DEFENSE
 Of MURMAN REGION
Britain. U. S., France and Murman Council Said to Have Made
 Pact.

London, July 25.-A Russian wire less message gives the text, of an agreement between the representa- tives of Great Britain, the United States, France and the Murman reg ional council "for the defense of the Murman region against the powers of the German coalition"
 The Russian forces will be under a commander appointed by the council, but admission of Russian volunteers into the allied forces will be permit ted, according to this message.
 The three entente powers are to provide the Russian command witl the necessary help in equipment, sup plies, transports and instructions for the Russian armed forces. They agree not to interfere in the home affairs of the region.
 In view of the improbability of i'm porting necessary food from Russia the three powers promise as far as possible to secure food for the whole population of the region the distribu- tion of which will be carried out by trustworthy Russian troops
 1HSy lllucI CdhC 4uI Vl1CI CO ocIutl ' the importation of necessary manu- factured goods and material for con- struction work and other purposes, the expense to be defrayed by the respective powers whose representa- : tives, disclaim any purpose of con quest and declare;
 "The only object of the agreement is to guard the integrity of the Mur- man region for great united Rus sia."
 The agreement, it is stated, was sanctioned by the Murman regional council July 7, and subsequently, by it's general assembly without opposi- i ton.
 An undated Reuters dispatch from Vladivostok, received here today, says the provisional government submitted to the allies on July Is request for joint military action.
 "There is every hope" the dispatch adds, "that the situation created by the government of General Horvath i the anti-Bolshevik leader, will be liquidated and the danger of civil wal averted. The attitude of the allies will dominate the situationtin easterr Siberia. The status of the provis- 1 ional government will be liable tc modification unless communications are quickly opened"
 l According to the Daily Mails Tier Tsin correspondent, telegraphing last Friday, China will participate in the intervention in Siberia. The cores
