TACNA AND AFRICA: SIA-
MESE TWINS OF
GEOGRAPHY

Tacna and africa The words are
fast becoming as inseparable as the
Gold Dust Twins, the Dolly Sisters, or
Mutt and jeff.
The regions form territorial bone
of contention among Chile, Peru and
Bolivia. The province of Tacna, COM
posed of the department of Tacna and
africa, is shown on maps made In Chile
as the nOrthernmost province of that
country, and on maps made in Peru
as the southernmost province of Peru,
bordered on the north by the Rio
Sauna and on the east by Bolivia.
Its broad uplands are rich in nitrate.
and on the Bay of africa, at the ter
minus of one railroad leading to La
Paz and the interior of Bolivia, and
of another running to ports to the
south. the delightful city of africa is
situated, giving the possessor of the
Territory great advantage In South
An fairs from both political
and 'ial standpoints. Here Is
ample II why these two South
Amerlcab epublics want It, and why
Bolivia hopes that, In the adjustment,
she will have an outlet to the sea ac-
corded her.
The trouble over this region arose
originally from the fact that, in the
days of the early Spanish settlers, the
country was so vast that few hun
=.
dred square miles more or less made
no difference In the affairs OF the col
ony, and when the colonies organized
themselves into republics they still
were too busy with their internal prob
lens to bother about where their
boundaries began and where they end
ed. This condition was true not only
of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, but of most
of the other South American republics,
as indicated by the numerous bound
iary questions which have been in- dis
pute during the last decade.
So matters drlfted until the middle
of the nineteenth century, when guano
and nitrate were discovered In this
formerly ignored region. The guano
alone was then hastily estimated as
worth S20,O00O00, not to mention the
nitrate. What friends could be ex-
pected to remain friendly with such
a mountain Of dollars between themf
Since that time the Peru-Chlie-Bolivia
story has been one OF controversies,
treaties, counter-charges and plebi'
settles never taken.

the Russian residents have largely con-

japanese to fishing.
Saghalien has not been developed TO
any great extent, but what natural de-

done more by the Russian exiles whose
permanent homes were there than by
the japanese whose fishing camps and
trading centers have dotted the shore

SAGHALIEN: A LONG TIME
POLITICAL PERPLEXITY

The island Of Saghalien, recently
subject of diplomatic correspondence
between the United States and Japan,
has been a political perplexity both
TO Russia and Japan for many years,
Soon after the Pilgrim Fathers landed
ON the east coast of North America, a
Japanese feudal baron dispatched an
agent to this far northern island of
the group that swings south from 81
IBERIA, at the mouth of the Amur, to
Formosa and Fulien on the China
coast Within twenty years after that
the Russians had landed on Sagha-
lien.
The japanese subsequently made
several trips of inspection but small
handful of Russian colonlsts remained
and today the majority of the perma-
nent inhabitants of Saghalien are Rus
sian, while TO the japanese 1t Is lit
tile more than summer fishing re-
sort.
In 1853 Russia sent an ambassador
TO Nagaski and band of troops TO
Saghallen While the ambassador
conducted negotiations the troops built
a fortress but, after repeated attempts,
the boundary question was still UNI
settled.
BY 1875 the sea-going Japanese gave
ND all rights in Saghalien to the Rus
SLAMS in return for full rights In the
!Kurie islands and this condition OF
affairs continued until the Treaty OF
Portsmouth which gave southern Sag
halien, up to the tiftleth parallel, to
Japan.
japanese Saghalien has little agri
cultural land but has large forests OF
both deciduous and evergreen trees,
jamountlng to more than S,0O0,0OC
acres. Japanese paper mills are sit
luated In Otomari and elsewhere and
ian effort is being made to develop the
lpapermaking industry. -

THE WHEAT GUARANTEE.

GONE of the political farmers have gone record against
- Herbert Hoover for president because Of the
wheat guarantee which they claim limited the farmers
profits Had the price of wheat not been fixed they claim
wheat would have scared in price and enriched the grower
There would undoubtedly have been rank profiteeng in
wheat had not been for the wheat guarantee but the specu
aor and the miller would have profed instead of the farmer
and the public been muched in proportion when the
farmer sold his crop the price would have been arcay
pressed and when the wheat the hands of the buyers
would have been held for fabulous prices.
The guarantee insured fair profit grower
and the and at the time the high
cost of living the argument against the guarantee valid
farmers would not be protesting the proposed removal of
the guarantee 1t the pofeerng specuaor who is most
anxious to restore gambling in grain
The first result of the removal of the guarantee would be
loss the grower of the fegh charges Chicago
amounting to 80 cents bushe for Chicago prices would

market would bring Canadian and Argentine wheat and lower
the price The farmer would again become the goat of the

Sooner later the wheat guarantee will have to go-and

Spanish Influenza
Epidemic Grows

Many Gases Develop Into Deadly
Pneumonia. Easier to Prevent than
Cure. How to Avoid
The constant daily increase of Span
ish influenza reported by physicians
shows clearly that many people are
falling to take the simple ordinary
precautions necessary to avoid infec-
ton. For. while influenza, after its
development, is sometimes difficult to
cure, it Is an easily preventable dis.
ease.
The best plan is to begin treatment
before the first symptom starts. For
no other disease win develop SO quick
ly or spread so rapidly, You may feel
fine today-be sick tomorrow and
lose a week or more of work. You will
indeed be fortunate if pneumonia
does not develop.
The air today is full of influenza
lgerms. Every breath you take is like
,ly to draw them into your nose and
throat. You can prevent the disease
by killing the germs before they
spread throughout your body. There
is probably no safer or surer way. to
do this than to go to the nearest drug
store and get one Of the famous Hyo-
mel Inhaling outfits consisting of
bottle Of the pure Oil of Hyomei and
little vest pocket, hard rubber in
haling device into which a few drops
of the Oil Of Hyomei are poured.
| Just breathe this Oil of Hyomei
deep into your nose, throat and lungs
and every particle of air that enters
your breathing organs will be charg-
ed with an antiseptic, germ killing
balsam that will destroy the germs
that have found lodgment there.
You can't do this too often. No or
| dinary night and morning gargling
or throat spraying will be sufficient
so long as during the day you come
in constant contact with infection.
J The Hyomei inhaler is small and can
be conveniently carried in a handbag
or vestpocket. Every half hour or
so throughout the day take ii out and
draw few breaths of its pure heal
ing air in.o yoGI nose and throat. Bv
doing this you can prevent infection
and check the further spread of the
disease even though y0u are coming
IN direct ccn'a with It, This is an
| Inexpensive treatment as the inahler
will last a lifetime and further sun
plies of the Oil of Hyomei can be had
at any drug store for few cents.
NOTE: Oil of Hyomci so strongly
recommended above fol the proven.
tion of Sn1nish influenza is not new
discovery but is the application of an
old and time tried treatment 10 new
disease. Hyomei has been a standard
in the treatment of catarrh and colds
for over twenty years and is sold by
| druggists everywhere. Hundreds of
people in Salem and vicinity keep a
Hyomei outfit with inhaler on the
bathroom shelf for regular winter
use. If you have one, get it out now
and use IL. If you haven't one. 20 to
the nearest drug store and get one
today. II Is he duty of. every person,
not only fo~ his own sake hut for the
community 20 do all in his power 10
lprevent further spread of this epi-
demic and to stamp il out. (Adv)
