Following the death of Judge
John Truax at the Richland ferry
May Ia, the state department OF
public works has authorized an IN
vestigation of automobile ferries
of the state, particularly those en-
GA eed in river transportation.
Ferry companies were notified
and advised to prepare for a pub

director of the department, and
Ray Ostrander, legal advisor is
sued the notices. They returned to
Olympia Saturday after viewing
the scene of the accident" From all
indications, no one was to biame,
Baker said. However, this is the
second accident of it's kind at the
same place, Duncan Dunn OF Yakl-
ma, former state legislator, having
lost his life some time ago under
similar conditionss
s'The department has jurisdiction
over ferries and although it is
doubtful whether the best of equip
ment will prevent such accidents,
the department feels that study
and inspection of such equipment
may help reduce fatalities Of this
character"

Washington Holds
Strategic Position
For Oriental Trade
-

privately and publicly owned port
facilities have opened the markets
of the world to Washington's
farm and factory products. In it's
largest port, Seattle, is located the
largest ship canal in the United
States. Japan does more business
through Washington ports than
with other Pacific Coast harbors.
As gateway to Alaska, Washington
enjoys the monopoly Of Alaskan
trade, approximating 100 million
dollars annually. On the theory
that commerce and industry are in
terdependent, the establishment of
manufacturing plants for imports
Of crude rubber, raw silk and veg
etable plants for imports of crude
rubber, raw silk and vegetable oils
will be the next Washington enter
prise in connection with it's for
eign trade program.
According to Washington State
Chamber Of Commerce poster
stamps, which are being mailed
to all parts of the world, the State
of Washington's phenomenal trade
progress has been and will continue
to be one of the most potent fac
tors in international commerce.

pulling the charm out Of his
pocket. He told Carnahan how the
foot had been given to him by an
aviator friend who said he had
carried it a long time with good
luck. Five minutes later, this friend
went up in plane and was killed
in a crash. French had carried the
charm since and took it with him
whenever he flew. Carnahan had
the rabbits foot in his hand while
French told this story. AS he fin
ished, a fellow aviator called out
and French went over to his plane,
leaving Carnahan holding the
charm. The pilot took the plane up,
and seven minutes later crashed to
the ground, so badly injured that
he died on the way to the hospi-
tai.
Carnahan says he isn't supersti-
tious, but just the same he is go

Washington's position on the
world map is strategic. It's twenty
six ports are nearer Asia than
those of any other American state
and Washington is geographically
close to the most extensive areas
of unexpected resources in the
Orient, North and South Ameri-

Already sixty-five per cent of
Washington's trade is with the far
East. Statistics show that an in
creasing percentage of foreign
trade is passing through Pacific
coast ports instead of Atlantic
ports and the state of Washington
is increasing its percentage of this
trade more rapidly than any 9TH

amounted to $50 million dollars.

Superstitious?

Rabbits foot brings luck, the
old superstition goes. But luck or
coincidence, rabbits foot played
a queer role in the death of Al
French, California aviator, who
crashed to his death at the Pasco
airport last Thursday night. Mar
win Carnahan, highway patrolman,
tells the strange story.
French and Carnahan were talk
ing together on the landing field,
when French asked Carnahan why
he didn't take up flying. Carna-
han explained that he led suf-
ficiently exciting life escaping
death on motorcycle without go
ing into the air.

France First Country
to Organize Zouaves

Zouave is the name Of tribe OF
Berbers In Algeria. In 1881 the
French recruited two battalions OF
Berber soldiers, who were uni
formed in their native costume. In
about ten years they were convert
ed into an infantry branch Of the
French army and the uniform re-
tanned. Before the World war
there were four regiments Of zOu-
ayes still In the French army. The
first service that these troops saw
outside Algeria was in the Crimean
war. They attracted much atten-
tion because Of their uniforms and
their fighting qualities, and volun-
teer military organizations through
out the world adopted the uniform,
or modification of it, and the
drills and tactics. There were sew
eral of these zouave companies in
the Civil war, and they were taken
into the army as organized.

Canadian Bituminous Sands

In what is known as the McMur-
ray country, in Canada, 800 miles
north of Edmonton, are to be found
extensive deposits Of bituminous
sand. The future commercial Sig
nificance of these deposits is as yet
not generally realized, it adds, al
though it is possible that even
tually they may prove to be of real
national importance.
It is thought the bituminous sand
In Canada is in many respects SIM
liar to the oil shale in the United
States and that the development Of
bituminous sand should be consid-
cred quite as seriously as that Of
the oil shales. Yield per ton from
the latter win, in some instances,
be higher than from bituminous
sand, but, from the point of view
of mining costs and certain other
factors, the development Of bitumi-
nous sands will probably have adj
vantages over oil shales.

Pacific Mystery

Easter island is called the Sun
solved Mystery of the Pacific" be-
cause of the scattered presence of
hundreds of immense heads carved
out Of stone which are to be seen,
some standing erect, while others
are down upon the ground. Their
meaning is only conjectural and
no one has ever offered any ex-
PLANTATION which Is generally ac-
cepted. Apparently Easter island
was chosen as the graveyard for
the chiefs of large island archf-
pelago which suddenly disappeared.
The thousands of slaves who were
kept at work carving out these i'm
ages were left without food and fell
upon each other until only a few
remained. The story of all these
events was never recorded and can
be read only by Inference.
