"a Strangers View

While cutting runners from
strawberry plants | had that
strange intuition that l was not
alone. In looking up | faced a
Iweil-dressed stranger. After the
usual greetings and self introduc-
tions began answering questions
by wholesale. His questions led
me TO believe there was prospect
of selling him a ranch or at least
having him for a neighbor. After
explaining strawberry culture and
the perpetual job of removing run
ners, | commenced asking
questions myself, which resulted
in the following information: He
had come by boat from Tacoma
and was to return by ferry, was
an engineer by trade, aud a stu
dent of large projects, and Gesir-
ed information ON the south end
road l. felt | was qualified to give
linn all the data desired, and sug-
gested we looI over the land by
FLYER,
We started out, he with pad and
pencil in hand, and me. without
much success trying 20 avoid
stumps, ruts and powder holes.
In the midst of stumps and pow
der holes | stopped, noticing he
was unable to ask questions or
use his pencil With look of
thanks he started in " What coun-
ty is this in9' ] answered that
the only way | could tell for sure
was to look at my tax receipt, but
thought it was King" He gazed
at "A blasted hole and remarked;

that if ii was full of water he
would be tempted to build bath
house ON the shore. ~ | cautioned
him not to eNpend much money on
it as every time an auto passed in
winter it changed the scenery. |
explained that the road had been
ten years under construction, the
first work being done in 1910,
"Any project that required
that many years to half finish,
compares very fovarably with the
Panama canal, the Roosevelt dam,
and the Seattle regrade, and de
serves "A description in the Scien-
.tiic American, to which paper |
am contributor" was his rejoin-
der. We started again and finally
reached the smooth grade to the
water. | explained how that part
of the project was paid for by
public spirited citizens, and how
the name Tahlequah was selected,
and that the editor Of the Vashon
News had nothing to do with the
name, in fact | told him | thought
the editor must dislike it, as he
never prints the name except in
the time table and then spells it
incorrectly. Thanking me for the
Vashon News, which had just
given him, and grasping my hand
in farewell he declared he would
visit me again in ten years, and if
the building Of the road progress
ed as much in the next decade as
in the last he felt sure some of the
holes would be filed and he would
be able to investigate it without a
guide. | wish had his optimism
AS the ferry pulled out | called to
him to come again, even if he had
to come by airplane.

AID FOR POLAND
Troops Will Not Be Used But
Economic Move Is
Planned.

Hythe, England. Great Britain and
France are convinced that the bolshe,
Wiki intend to capture Warsaw and
set up soviet government in Poland,
In British and French circles 1t is
admitted that the situation has
brought crisis only second in gravity
to that OF 1914.
The allied conference here reached
complete agreement on plans for
dealing with the Russo-Polish cris.s.
They include the reimposition OF
the blockade, but on the advice of the
experts no allied troops will be en-
ployed
Having decided that actual war
shall not be waged on Russia, Pre-
miers Lloyd George and Millerand
were confronted with most difficult
problem. 1t Is known they are in
elined to give Poland every aid within
the limit OF this decision.
In both French and British circles
here, however the word defensive"
is emphasized and 1t is pointed out
that France and Great Britain wish
1t distinctly understood that they are
not contemplating offensive measures.

COVE COMMENTS

The Gilbert poultry ranch at
Vashon is certainly an up-to-date
plant, nothing lacking in the way
of convenience and from a bust
ness point of view. Mr.. Shoup, in
his demonstration last Saturday,
demonstrated that he had the
chicken business down to fine
science and | was impressed with
the fact that what | did not know
about chickens was plenty. The
most crucial job for me is to Gull
out flock for fear that may re-
iect what may turn out to be a
good bird. Seems to me that an
expert might turn a honest penny
by going around occasionally and
crlling the flock for folks who are
like myself, somewhat uncertain.
OF course when it s a matter of
three or four year old birds one
has to part affection or otherwise
for the biddies, one gets to know
pretty well everyone by sight or
if you don't know them they
know you-but the best Of friends

principles and yet lack the prac.
tice of them aud obedience to
God. Adam beheld God his glory
he disobeyed in a small thing but
that disobedience deluged the
world in sin, and Adam passed
from glory TO disgrace, from life
to death as a result.
Saul great and mighty in body,
chosen as first king over Israel,
prophet, preacher, stepped aside
from God or put God out of the
business of the kingdom and when
God withdrew from Saul he in
desperation fell on his own sword
thus ending his life.
Annias wanted to appear as 9th
crs of the charter membership of
the first church of the Christian
faith Others selling all that they
had, placed it in a common fund
that all might receive as to their

ton, give part only but they

Boys, girls, in this company

you fail, just fail in meeting the
competition of the activities of
life, you are not a success and if
in the call to build character

you will not be a success-always

Lloyd George, Randolph Church
I'LL. Millerand and Foche, ct al,
don't seem to be getting it all
Their own way. The situation re-
minds me of fist fight where the
victor gets all swelled up and of
fers to fight the crowd, thereby
often meeting his Waterloo. When
you boil the situation down and
get clear of the vapors the real
issue becomes clear, viz: to make
the world safe for aristocracy and
special privilege. Wherefore, the
deluded Poles have been egged on
to demolish their big neighbor,
the Russian and instead of this
they have been well thrashed. So
now Lloyd George & Co. are in a
fix and don't like the reverse side,
if an armistice, none the less acute
if second hand. Had they been
wise they would have let the Rus

RELIC OF AZTEC DAYS.
Sewer Digging Disturbs Indian Grave
After Many Years.

Brownsville, Tex, July AFTER lying
undsturbed for hundreds and perhaps
thousands of years, the grave of some
old Indian chieftain was r,Idely disturbed
a few days ago by city workmen employed
in digging a sanitary sewer lIne.
The burial place of the old Aztec war
rior was located in what is now one of the
most popular sections of the city but what
was formerly the banks of an old rcsaca
and at one time probably the bank OF the
Rio Grande, at the northeastern city linn
its.
The bones were preserved in almost
their natural shape through petrlfaotion
and their size indicated that before his
death, perhaps long before the white
man ever heard of the Rio Grande, the
warrior had been an enormously big
man. That his wife was an active one
was demonstrated by the fact that one
of his arms had been fractured and tho
arm failed to knit smoothly. The most
perfectly preserved portions OF the body
were the teeth, which are worn smooth
and Indicated that the man was not young
They bore no signs Of decay or break.

INLAND WATERWAY
CONGRESS TO MEET
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tide
water Meeting at Detroit
July ~.
by Associated Press to Every Evening

Detroit, Mich, July7.-Fourtcen con-
trail western States favoring the projected
lakes -to-the-sea marine highway will be
given full chance to present their argI-
ments at the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
Tidewater congress here July 1924.
Spokesman for commercial industrial
and agricultural interests Of the central
west will attend the congress. More than
800 delegates from the United States
and Canada trc expected.
The speakers include large number OF
professional men. Two more or less popu-
lar misconceptions regarding the project
we're pointed out here today by members
of the Tide-water association. One Of
these is an impression that TO complete
the enterprise. engineering work on n
large scale at various points from the
head Of Lake Superior to the sea coast,
must be undertaken. The other is a belief
that with the opening of the waterway,
lake vessels will begin to ply between lake
ports and Europe.
Both of these impressions are crron-
eous." said w. III. Adams, chairman of the
local committee ON inland waterways.
THE engineering work involved at
present has To do with the rectiiication
of 46 miles of the st. Lawrence river
bfbhtti isihf oHioIto ttiitt kioh'lfais ~
is probable the engineers will recommend
that this be done through obstruction of
four dams TO drown out the rapids, con-
verting the river into n series Of lakes. IL
has been estimated that the enterprise
will cost $3.50. .OOO, 900 and that il can be
completed in five years"
Opening If the waterway. MIR. Adams
said viii not mean that Lake carriers viii
go through 60 Europe; they are not built
for ocean travel, he explained What it
will mean" he continued, lis that every
lake port will become an ocean port and
the continent will acquire the services OF
the worlds merchant fleets"
In discussing the estimated cost Of the
undertaking. Mr.. Adams said that the
four dams would develop more bhan
1000, 300 horsepowe', which when com
mcrcialized would within two years more
than equal the cost Of the opening of the
route Utilization Of this hydro-power
he added, would mean coal conservation
in excess of 80. 900, 900 tons annually.
Opposition TO the proposed undertaking
thus far has come chiefly from New
York. Mir Adams expressed he belief
that most Of this oppo ition would die.
appear with more thorough understand
ing Of how much of the hydro~power
would naturally accrue 30 New York.
