POLAND is NOW
IN SPOTLIGHT
Taking Its Place in World
Affairs AS An Agres-
Sive Nation
HAS STRAGETIC POSITION

Washington. - Poland's strategic
position between Soviet Russia and
militant Germany brings this ,ag-
greesive European nation more and
more into the spotlight of world af-
fairs.
Twenty years ago the name of
Poland could not have been found
on any map of Europe" says the
National Geographic society. ''To-
day it Is the sixth largest nation in
Europe, with steadily increasing
population that will soon reach 49,
100000.
"Once before Poland was a great
power. In the Sixteenth and Sew
enteenth centuries its territory ex-
tended from a point within fifty
miles of Berlin to the meridian of
the Sea of AZov, and from the
Khanate of Crimea nearly to the
Gulf Of Finland. In those days War
saw, next to Paris, was the most
brilliant city in Europe.
Divided by Powers.
Then came weak rulers and in
tefnal dissension that paved the
way for Prussian, Russian, and Aus
trian expansion. In the three dis
astrous partitions of 1872. 1893, and
1873 these powers divided Poland
between them, then legalized the
proceedings by the congress of vi
emma in 1915.
THE state had ceased to exist,
but the people never lost their fierce
nationalism. After a century and
half of oppression came the proud
day In November, 1918, when Mar
shal Pilsudski returned to Warsaw
to be acclaimed as chief of the
new independent Polish state. The
treaty of Versailles established the
western boundaries of the new ma
ton, and after a serious struggle
with Russia, the eastern border was
fixed by the Riga treaty of 1921.
Under Pilsudski's leadership Po-
land has developed rapidly, despite
tremendous handicaps. Long years
of fighting had devastated the land.
Russia, Prussia, and Austria each
left the stamp of its domination,
different systems of government, ed
ucation, and law.
"The Versailles treaty left Po-
land surrounded by nations jealous
of land that had once been theirs.
Today peaceful relations have been
established, particularly with Ger
many and Russia. 1t is significant
that the last year these two ma
tions, together with Great Brit
ain, provided the best markets for
Polish trade.
"Pilsudsk remains the arbiter
and hero of his country.
Economic Progress.
Economic progress has kept step
with political growth. Devas-
tated areas have been reconstructed.
From marshlands to mountains, ag-
riculture has been brought back
to pre-war levels. Factories idle
or destroyed have been rehabili-
tated. The currency has been sta
bilized. Railway mileage has been
increased, and a uniform gauge
adopted so that rails bind Poland
together instead of tearing 1t apart.
'The Pole, whose horsemanship
is admired throughout the world,
has taken to the air with dash and
spirit. Captain OrlinsH linked War
saw with Tokyo. Colonel Rayski
circled Europe In the air. Captain
Skarzynski and Lieutenant Markie-
wicz made the tour of Africa In
1881. The Polish air line, Lot, COW
ers the whole of eastern Europe
from Tallinn to Salonika, and there
is regular internal service be-
tween Warsaw and all important
cidex. In 1894 direct service was
opened between London and War

maritime LAD
NEARLY BROWNS

William, fourteen year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Sieg of
Hartline, nearly met his death last
Sunday by drowning. The Sieg fam
lily had gone to McCann's resort on
Blue lake to spend the day, and
the day being warm, the boy along
with his sisters and many other
children, went in bathing.
William and his two sisters push
ed the raft far out into the lake
and then attempted to swim ashore.
The distance proved too great for
the lad however, and he began sig
mailing for help. In attempting to
save him, one of his sisters nearly
drowned also.
John Mccain, who was attend
ing the stand, saw the boys plight,
and rushed in to save him When he
reached the lad he had gone down
for the third time, and John was
compelled to dive after him. The
lad was unconscious when his res
cuer reached shore with him and it
required five minutes or more to
rusticate him.

FORAGE POISON STAYS
BIG BEND stuck

Some sort of forage poisoning is
thought to have been the cause of
the deaths of more than 200 head
O. c...tle and horses in Douglas
and Grant counties, resulting in a
loss of $4,000 to farmers of trose
Counties TINS summer.
Studies of the epidemic have
been made by veterinarians of the
sse..c uepuftlnent OF agriculture,
and assistance base been given by
Ell. Hams, douglas county agent,
and the extension service of the
state college of Washington.
Opinions differ slightly OH the
exact cause of the poisoning. Some
experts maintain that it is poison
which develops ON native bunch
grass during dry periods; Others
contend that it is due to some sort
of special plant or fungus growth.
The chief problem confronting
farmers in the affected area is
whether the range will be safe for
grazing next spring. Some of the
ranchers are reported to be con-
temrlating withdrawal from the
cattle business if the condition ex-
lists next year.
About the only practical method
of control which has been develop
ed So far calls for the stock to be
taken from the range and fed hay
in the "lot" This, however causes
farmers to use up prematurely
their winter forage supply.

O|L|NG CREW STARTS
ON C0ULEE HIGHWAY

The work of putting non-skid
seal coat on the Speedball highway
between Coulee City and the Grand
Coulee Dam was started on Mon
day of this week. The Hewett Con
struction Company, of Spokane,
who have the contract, arrived the
latter part of last week with equip
ment and material, and on Monday
large crew was started to work.
The crushing of gravel for the job
was sublet to Martene Bros. This
part of the contrace and the stock
piling has been completed. 1t is
estimated that it will require about
three or four weeks to complete
the oiling contract A number of
local laborers are employed ca the
job.
Always a good road since it was
built more that a year ago, the ad-
dition of the non-skid seal coat
will make it one of the very best
general general purpose roads in
the state. During the past year a
great deal of heavy traffic has pass
ed over this road. That it has stood
up we'll is recommendation for
the contractors who built it and
the state highway department
which superintended the work.

After helping thousands of farm

debt on more favorable terms, and
supplying them with low-cost oper-
ati"G funds, the Farm Credit ad
nj Illustration is now giving more
normal ,tte, ton to it's basic pro-

This is the report of progress
which William L. Myers, governor
of the FCA at Washington, d. CO..,

ministration at Spokane this week.
In our task of improving this
cooperative machinery to link the
farmer with the nations money
market so funds can be obtained
at low cost on terms that fit agri-
cultures needs, we must develop a
spirit of understanding and family
unity" the governor said.
"Our Washington division has
only one general desire, that is to
help farmers, through their local
credit associations and district Gre
dit institutions. to achieve maxi

ENGINEERS COMING
TO C0ULEE CITY

Word has been received here
that a large per cent of the reclama
ton engineers now stationed in the
Colville country, will soon be trans
ferred to Coulee City otake up the
work of running lines for tunnels
and canals, and surveying for the
dams, one OF which will be located
at this end near Coulee City and
one twenty-eight miles north, which
will serve as container dams for the
big lake that will be stored in the
Coulee for irrigation of the vast
acreage furtrer south. The engin-
GERS will also make a study of the
lands to to irrigated for the pur-
pose of classification.
1t is expected that Ray Smith,

dead MANS CURVE
AGAIN IN L|MEL|GH7

The dangerous Dead Mans
Curve, located seven miles east of
Coulee City on the Sunset highway
was again the scene of another &C
cident at nine o'clock last Saturday
night
Louisa Christensen, of Sand
Point, Idaho, accompanied by a
young man who was driving for
her, was returning to her home
from an extended trip on the west
coast and points in California.
when the accident occurred.
Approaching the curve from the
west, and not being acquainted
with the road, the car was evident
ly going at a rather rapid rate of
speed. 1t left the highway on the
left hand side and turned over sew
eral timesl throwing the occupants
out. The car was demolished beyond
repair. Miss Christensen sustained
three fractured ribs, cuts and bruis
es on her body, and a possible skull
fracture. The young man was I'M
injured with the exception of few
cuts and bruises. The woman was
taken to the hospital at Almira,
where DR.. Anderson attended to
her wounds, and the following
morning, (Sunday) she was taken
to Spokane for further examination
This DANGEROUS curve has been
the cause of innumerable accidents
during the past year. Not alone is
it dangerous, but it is a disgrace
to the highway department. If it
cannot be eliminated. at least it
should be properly signed to ap-
prise tourists of the great danger
and notify them to drive slow.

DR.. ELWOOD MEAD
PRAISES C0ULEE DAM
Greatest Builder of Dams" Is En-.
thusinstic Over Dam and Re-
cIGnlatiOn Possibilities

DR.. Mead is going to go down in
history as the greatest builder of
dams that the world has ever seen.
His work is most remarkable and
he was a mighty factor in getting
the allotment that permitted the
work at Grand Coulee to be start
ed" this was the tribute paid to
| Elwool Mead, commissioner of the
United States Bureau of Reclama-
ton, by Senator G. c. Dill, at a
meeting arranged in honor of DR..
| Mead by the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce.
Dr. Mead, who was in Spokane
enroute to an inspection trip of the
Grand Coulee, made highly COM
plimentary remarks concerning the
efforts of Judge Sa NIB. Hill, in ov-
grooming congressional opposition
to the Grand Coulee, and said a.
bout the project itself:
Because the Grand Coulee has
loomed above the Nations horizon,
it has been made the target of at
tack from conscientious motives,
but through an utter lack of I'M
derstanding. Recent action of con-
gress has placed it legally among
the government enterprises.
cit is of utmost Importance that
we design and build SO as to iusti
fly all the predictions that have
been made for tire project and win
over the opponents and doubters.
''The Grand Coulee and Colum
bia Basin is one of the finest irri-
cation developments in the world,
not because of it's size, but because
of the time and thought put into
making it.
"It is just as important to plan
for the farms, fields, roads and
towns, and these should give us as
much concern, as to have the dam
and power houses built right.
"This is part of our mission at
this time: We are planning soils
survey so as to determine how
mucr good land there is, how much
land will have to be thrown out;
and land appraisal so as to de-
termine what the land is worth.
Irrigation development is abb
solutely indispensable to our we'll
rounded and stable development.
We are building one of the great
est opportunities for our people and
a project that will be a vital factor
in stabilizing and promoting the
growth of tire Pacilc Northwest"
