People should guard against appendicitis, is an admonision. They do and do so well that it never catches anyone but those who are able to pay a thousand bucks for the honor.
Separation and divorce proceedings between the Bournes, of Oregon, are reported. Evidently Miss Wyatt's marriage has not Bourne as good results as she had hoped.
In defeating the "pistol toting" bill of the senate, the house must have suspected that it would end up in a row with the governor and that pistols might come in handy.
"No chance of a money trust," declares J. Pierpont Morgan. Of course there is no chance for another money trust in this country for the one, of which Morgan is at the head, has all the money in the country already in trust and the government seems powerless to burst the trust.
Oregon and Washington Democratic governors are having a monkey and a parrot time with the respective legislatures of the two states, which will result in no legislation worth a tinker's dam being enacted in either state. It almost makes me feel like advocating that the legislature elect the governor.
Indolent fathers who hoped the state would pension mothers and thereby relieve them of the responsibility of taking care of the mother and child, can now see their fond hopes go glimmering as the house failed to pass the senate bill.
The daughter of a car cleaner, unaware of its real value, was seen wearing a pearl necklace worth $15,000, which her father found in a garbage heap. It, perhaps, will be the only time in the child's life that her neck was the most valuable part about her.
From the number of pithy paragraphs appearing in the Sun concerning the Negroes of the Northwest, its brilliancy has even made the black man look brighter, and that is sure going some.
It is refreshing to learn that all of the proposed class legislation in the thirteenth legislature of Washington have gone where the woodbine twineth. "He works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform."
It is reported that the Tacoma police are baffled over a murder case. Tacoma's police are rapidly becoming metropolitanized, which means they get the money and at once loose their thinking faculties and even go blind.
Getting on a jury in Portland, Oregon must mean something to the lucky one, if one of the trial judges is to be believed, as he charged from the bench that a certain pannel was packed with friends of the street car company in order to estop all damage cases.
Two men on trial for their lives in Tacoma jail are both pleading insanity and to make out a case, one crazy is called to testify in behalf of the other. It may take a thief to catch a thief, but we can not see how one crazy can verify to the craziness of another.
A more cowardly and perhaps dastardly crime was never committeed than the murder of Madero, but what right has the United States to interfere with the Mexicans killing each other? Mexico never interferes with the United States when black men are burned at the stake for stealing chickens.

SEATTLE, WASH., FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1913
The Scenic Triumph at Revelstoke. British Columbia has, approximately half a million inhabitantte and during 1912 it expended $5,500,000 on its roads an average per capita of eleven dollars. No Province in Confederation begins to approach such an outlay. But, big as the figure is, 1913 will be bigger, for this year the road estimate will be about $8,000,000, or sixteen dollars per head of population.
To understand this remarkable expenditure one should understand the geographical size and configuration and variety and wealth of resources of this great Province. First, then—its area is, roughly, seven times that of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island put together, but the population of the Atlantic Provinces per square mile is 18.17; that of the Pacific Province per square mile but 1.30, and of its half a million people about one-half, or 250,000, are hived within a radius of, say, sixty miles, with Vancouver City as center. The rest are scattered, pioneers of progress, in numerous small cities and settlements through the greater Interior. That great hinterland is rich in mineral, timber, agricultural and horticulture resources, fruitful of opportunity to their expansion and to the development of thei consequent industries. With the mountain ranges and parallel valleys running north and south, and transcontinental railroads running east and west, the natural feeders of such railways, the arteries of commerce, are Good Roads. Thus, with the (soon to be) double tracked C. P. R. in the middle, the G. T. P. and C. N. R. a hundred or more miles to the north, and the Weyburn-Hope C. P. R. division equally distant to the south, the connecting system, pending railroad branches and river navigation, must be good roads. They are imperative to the settlement and development of the natural and commercial resources of the country.
There is one great feature in the policy of road construction in B. C. which is not, however, provincial, or even national. Wider than that, than either, 'tis international. That is, the opening to travellers, to tourists, to the world, of the glorious and sublime scenery to be found within its boundaries. The automobile eliminates artificial and often natural boundaries; and by the system of good roads and national highways being constructed in B. C. the automobilists abroad may now travel almost its length and breadth in safety and comfort, and with enthusiasm for the scenes by the way. The culminating effort of the scenic road in B. C.—indeed, on the American continent, for there is no other like it—is the mountain motor road at Revelstoke, B. C., "Capital of Canada's Alps." Here the Provincial Government sought and found the opportunity to give the world visitor of their provinces the most delightful, unique and soul-stirring enlivenment to be anywhere experienced, one that will live long in the memory, or bring one again to the scene of enchantment.
Mount Revelstoke, at the city of that name, midway, and a daylight rail journey, between Calgary and Vancouver, is about 7,000 feet high. Starting at its foot, in the Columbia River Valley, by the river side, with the altitude about 1,400 feet, the new mountain road runs northward for a short distance, and, turning to the right, begins at once the wonderful and fascinating ascent. It doubles and re-doubles, and turns and tacks (to get grade), presenting at each turn a newer and still more interesting and varied view of the great river valleys, with their mountain ridged ribs, giant peaks, silvery streams, and green forested slopes. Thus, although the ascent in air-line is about one mile, the distance traversed is, or will be, about seventeen. The average grade is but 6.6 per cent., and the maximum but 7.6 per cent. It is surveyed out for 13.8 miles, and last year three miles of it were completed. It will be carried to the summit (city side), or 13 miles post, by fall of 1913, and later additional mileage in the Alpine Park at the top will be added.
It isn't, however, for the mere joy-ride, interesting as it will be, that the road is being built, but as a means to reach and enjoy the glories of the Alpine Park at the top. This is what old-timers call "God's country," and not called so irreverently. From the 13 mile post of the road back to the rocky ridges and peaks of Claeh-na-Coodin, lies a beautiful parklike plateau of about 70,000 acres in extent, with but a gentle slope northwards and eastwards. Here you may wander through groves of balsams, fields of flowers, lakeets rock-buttes, and shallow coulees back to
VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 49
the Glacier lakes and mouths, rock cliffs and snow peaks, and find it all sublime. And what a view—waves of mountains, with here and there a giant white crested one topping his fellows in majestic pride. They are indeed "the everlasting hills."
The proposal has been made, with assurance of success, to make of this lovely Alpine Park a national reserve, with Dominion Government upkeep, care and development by trails and shelters. In the Park at the top there is room and to spare for the most beautiful and, in the circumstances, sensational golf links on the continent; and in winter the opportunity for suitable outdoor sports is unsurpassed. Arrangements are being made for an auto service to the present or this season's end of the road this summer.—Hudson Bay Clan.
THAT REMINDS ME.
Mark Twain was censuring the extravagance of the American multi-millionaire. "Just consider," he said, "these new travelling bath tubs. I understand they're getting as common on Fifth Avenue as electric elevators. A reporter was telling me about them. He called on a cotton millionaire on Sunday morning. The millionaire received him in his dressing room, and after their business talk was over the wonders of the house were taken up. The millionaire boasted about his Raphaels and hardwood floors, his light plant and French furniture, his gold-plated plumbing and Gobelins, but he boasted above all of his travelling bath tub. 'It's onyx,' he said, 'a lovely golden shade.... It runs by electricity, on tiny pneumatic tires, smooth and silent. Whenever I don't feel disposed to leave this room it comes in here to me, filled, just as I like it, wit genuine Atlantic Ocean, brought up from Coney and warmed to 80 degrees. It comes in any time I push this button.' 'Push it now,' said the reporter curiously. The button was pushed, the doors slid magically open, and the great onyx bath glided in stately silence into the room. But in it sat the millionaire's horrified wife."
FAILURE OF STATE FIRE INSURANCE IN NEW ZEALAND.
In these days, when much is heard of nationalizing great public institutions and conserving national wealth for the benefit of the community, and of the Socialistic doctrine of everything for the public good, with its consequent discoragement of competition, it is of advantage to analyse whatever steps have been taken along this line and to draw whatever conclusions are shown to have resulted.
New Zealand some years ago undertook the task of providing State Fire Insurance. What have been the results thus far? For the first six years during which the scheme was operated no profit whatever was shown and the premium income received was only about one-fifteenth of the total premiums paid by the community. Of themselves these facts prove conclusively that the rates charged by the insurance companies doing business there were not excessive, and that the scheme did not commend itself to the public. Further, as pointed out by an Australian writer, the first act of those in charge was to arrange re-insurance treaties with the underwrites at Lloyds, a confession that even with the revenue and credit of New Zealand behind them, they were conscious that they could not transgress the economic laws upon which insurance is based. No doubt it was wise, from an underwriting standpoint, to make arrangements for re-insurance, but it also furnished a contradiction of the whole theory of state insurance.
Another result has followed the introduction of state fire insurance in New Zealand—the fire waste has increased to about $3.00 per head, which it is claimed, is somewhere around the highest of any community in the world. Instead of saving New Zealand $750,000 a year through lower premium rates, the state insurance scheme has penalized the community to the extent of $500,000 per annum through increased fire waste.—Hudson Bay Clan.

"Yes, unless it finishes her sooners."—Baltimore American.
“God bless our home,’’ sighs him on whose head
the weight of fifty odd seasons press heavily and whose
tinling fingers vainly search the revesses of an empty
pocket for a penny for bread. He thoughtfully runs
over ‘the past and thinks, what might have been, and
from the past and the present he madly plunges into
the future and exclaims, what will it be? ‘The man
fifty past with neither a present nor a future is like
unto a ship in mid ocean without sail or rudder, it
may drift to land, but the odds are decidedly against
it. If, dear readers, you are fifty years or more of
age and find yourself battling with the tide for a mere
existence, we encourage you not to loose hope, for
with hope gone all is lost, but we plead with you to
use your influence with those traveling the road that
you have already gone over, to either go more slowly
or more surely. It affter all is but a brief span from
the cradle to the grave and yet the woes that we under-
go in that brief time are often so oppressive that it is
like a million years. Madly we fight from childhood
to old age to lord it over our fellow man, and even
when we do so we are no less happy than when we do
not do so, and when we do not do so we bewail our
lot and almost curse our very selves that we have not
done so. Oh for a peace of mind in the sunset of life that
will gently lead us from the scenes of life’s fitful
fevers, through the valley and shadow of death to the
fields of everlasting life.
Conditions have been shifting so rapidly in Mex-
ico that even the yellow journals have had to hurry
in order to report all that was done. The overthrow
of Madero by his own men and the subsequent killing
of both Madero and the vice president that acted with
him, and that too by those with whom they had in the
past worked in harmony, all demonstrates that it is
a difficult matter to predict what will next happen in
Mexico. Gen Huerta has been chosen provisional pres-
ident and already a new revolution has begun and new
allignments have been made. One thing is certain the
whole country is like unto a festering boil that peri-
odically breaks out and overflows. There is no more
hope of the new president calming the country down
than there was for Madero, when he took the presi-
dency, and the country like Haytii is doomed to peri-
odical revolutions, carrying with them a wholesale loss
of human life. The United States is on tip toe waiting
for an opportunity to rush an army into the country
and if ever done it will result in the annexation of the
country.
For men of sound mind to persistently fight the
proposition to give women the right of suffrage seems
to us foolhardy. In those states where women have
equal suffrage they have lost none of their womanly
virtues and the most of the men are delighted to take
their wives and daughters by the arm to the polls and
furthermore permit them to vote as they darn please.
In every state in the Union the official family is
charged of being honey combed with graft and
public plunder, and the women could surely do no
worse. We trust the next Congress will pass a con-
current resolution recommendating that each state in
the Union accord to the women equal suffrage and
thereby put an end to the disgusting agitation of the
subject that is being carried on by the pro and cons.
Hundreds of editorials have been written in the
leading papers of perhaps the entire civilized world
about the parents of the Billion Dollar McLean baby
in a sense adopting a “‘simple minded’”’ Negro boy of
like age, to become the playmate of the unfortunate
millionaire boy, and it has been condemned almost
from as many view points. Personally we have a very
poor opinion of the father and mother that will ‘‘sell’”
their boy into idle slavery, but if they want to do so
and are sound of mind it is their funeral, and speaking
from our view point a division of the McLean boy’s
wealth would not tempt us to part with one of our
boys in a like manner, but we are not all constituted
alike. One of the considerations in the sale is that the
colored boy must be equally educated, but at the age
of fifteen become the valet of the millionaire. This
contract concerns only those directly interested, and
all of the newspapers comment on it is as much out
of place as would be the criticising of a divine act.
What right have you to dictate what your fellow man
does so long as it does not diseomode you?

HENRY CLAY WILSON
The eyes of the world are fixed on Henry Lane
Wilson, Uncle Sam’s minister to Mexico, and he is
conducting himself in such a manner as to win the
praise and admiration of every person who thinks,
which does not even except Mexicans. Since Minister
Wilson has been in Mexico he has seen the Diaz gov-
ernment overthrown by revolutionists lead by Madero.
He has seen Madero in turn overthrown and murdered
like a wild beast. He has seen the streets of the cap-
ital city of Mexico run with Mexican blood. He has
seen the homes of foreigners and especially citizens
of the United States stormed and demolished and he
himself has felt the wind of a flying bullet, but he
has stood by his post and demanded of the revolution-
ists the same as the federalists the protection of Am-
erican citizens and American interests. Ile has not
only demanded protection for his countrymen, but he
has stood in the gateway for the protection of all
foreigners, and for that he has been thanked by the
most of the European governments. Its the opportun-
ity that makes the man, and the opportunity has made
of Henry Lane Wilson the man of the age. While
Mr. Wilson was born in the state of Indiana, yet he
early came to the State of Washington, where he spent
many years of his life. In the political world, while he
was active in the state, he was the same diplomat that
he is proving himself to be in Mexico and therefore the
citizens of the State of Washington are doubly proud
of the record he is making, first because he is an Am-
erican citizen, and secondly because he hails from the
State of Washington. It is a safe bet that President
Wilson will not be very keen to remove Minister Wil-
son from Mexico,
Last Tuesday the United States from stem to
gudgeon went into the hands of the Demoeratie party,
and while the Democrats are clapping their hands
for joy, all other partisans are fearful lest the sudden
change will result in misunderstandings that will cause
trials and tribulations. We are not doubting that
Woodrow Wilson is as patriotic and as level-headed a
citizen as the United States ever grew, and will try to
administer the affairs of this republic in such a manner
as will result in the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber, but a majority of the party that is responisble
for his election, has not in the past been so loyal as
is he, and even now they do not show the same zeal
in working for the good of the whole country as do
Republicans, and it is feared that President Wilson
will have a hard time in pumping sufficient patriotism
into the bosoms of his fellow Democrats for them to
rise above their party prejudices and be patriots in-
stead of partisans.
The change of the country from Republicanism
to Demoeracy is by no means a change of heart on the
part of the voters, for at the last national election
pretty nearly two million more persons voted for Repub-
liean principles than for ‘Democratic, and had not
Roosevelt and Taft quarelled over who would be It,
Hadley of Missouri or Cummings of Iowa would have
been elected president by as large a plurality as was
Taft or Roosevelt in the two previous elections. This
paper is still of the firm opinion that the principles
FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1913.
of the Republican party are the ones that will bring
peace and plenty to the citizens of this country and
that the principles of the Democratic and if not the
principles; the methods of doing things, will result
in complications that will eventually bring about po-
litical chaos. The spirit that feeds the Democratic
party is narrow minded and bigoted, Where ever
Democracy rules there the masses are governed by the
classes. Even in the southern states, where Democracy
holds unbounded sway, the government is in the hands
of the few, and the poor white man has no more show
of rising than the black man. Pure Democracy in
books sounds well, but simon pure Democracy in con-
trol of affairs means ‘‘hell,’’ and we trust its life will
be of short duration.
In a recent issue of the Minnesota Prison Mirror
the following excerpt is taken and speaks for itself:
“The newspaper of today is the chief disseminator
of information on criminal matters. It is the thief’s
text-book and every robbery it details is a new lesson
to him. It is true that the public is to some extent
forwarned against the danger of being duped by the
methods which the newspapers expose; but honest
people do not read the accounts of criminal transac-
tions with as much avidity as do dishonest persons,
consequently do not absorb nearly so much infor-
mation. When a bank robbery occurs the most minute
particulars are given of the modus operandi, and in
many instances the cracksmen’s whole kit of tools is
accurately delineated by illustrations. The banker,
having little use for such information, soon forgets
all he has read about it; but on the other hand, the
aspiring burglar stores the minutiae away in the secret
recesses of his memory for future use.”’
Considerable fuss is being kicked up in an eastern
community about a man who was shot at a “‘blind
tiger.’’ The man who got shot was as much a criminal
perhaps, as the man who did the shotting or he would
not have been at the place. It is only once in a thous-
and that an innocent person gets shot at such a place,
because innocent persons do not frequent them. If
you are looking for trouble the chances are you will
always fint it. ©
‘After critically looking at a photograph of Madero,
we suggest that former Senator Fairbanks be kid-
napped and sent to Mexico as a substitute, and the
Mexicans would have trouble convincing themselves
that their former president is dead, and it might save
the new president from getting a licking from Uncle
Sam, as he could show that Madero still lives.
If there are any higher ups in the New York
police graft, it is quite time they be shaken down,
but it may be that some one is grafting on this re-
quisite information, since they seem to graft on and
about every thing that is of interest to the public in
New York.
If Billion Dollar Baby McLean does not turn black
on account of associating with its ‘“‘nigger baby,’’ who
will know the difference a hundred years from now?
Instead of being between the devil and the deep
blue sea, Mongolia is between the devil and the dragon
and it is a toss up whether the former or the latter
gets her, one thing, however, is certain, one or the
other will certainly do so before the year is gone.
It is argued whisky is poison, tobacco is poison,
opium and a hundred and one other things used by
the human family are poison and now to cap the cli-
max, food taken in excess is declared poison. We now
understand why we feel badly so much of the time.
Suffragets of England stand a chance of doing
penal servitude for their acts of violence, but whats
the use of ever living if you ean not vote, they argue.
All Seattle agrees with Corporation Counsel Brad-
ford in his declaration, Seattle can build a car line,
and she can build anything else she wants, especially
if its for the good of the tax payers.
White folk may have for the most part evolved
from black folk, as argues a scientist, but the folk
that are still black do not hesitate in declaring they
take most decided exceptions to Cole L. Blease of
South Carolina evoluting from a black race. In short,
they are of the opinion he eyoluted from Barnum’s

INSURANCE NOTES
A wise man took thought and gave birth to an apophthegm—“A fool,” he said, “is born every minute.” This is wrong, he ought to have said twins.” Had he managed a Fire Insurance Company he would have said “triplets.” Fools are many, they are varied, “si monumentum quoeris circumspice.” There is the fool who took the electric light bulb to bed with him; he was unmarried and suffered from cold feet. This was one of the sleepy ilk. “Blessed are the sleepy,” says Zarathustra, “for they shall soon drop off.” He dropped off, soon and sound, and awoke coughing up smoke. Clad only in the few thoughts vouchsafed him, he rushed from the room. The Fire Insurance Company paid $2,000,000 for the experiment, and murmured not, but collected the sum in premiums from the public.
Of the same brotherhood was he who blew out the gas and looked for the cause of the small with a lighted match. He is dead now, but a Fire and a Life Insurance Company footed part of the bill, and in turn charged the community.
What of he who left a sleeping kitten, a lighted candle on the floor and a nice convenient heap of oil-soaked shavings near when he departed from XXlan soaked shavings near when he departed from his store? Was he foolish? Why, yes. He forgot to pull down the blind and the scheme was abortive.
Near Ottawa, Ontario, is a small village which shall be nameless. On a festive day smoke was seen slowly emerging from the basement window of a store—sign of fire in its incipiency. A crowd gathered, with much hullabaloo the reels arrived, the water pressure was good—the doors were burst in and the windows broken "everything went merry as a marriage bell." A cry arose, "two hundred pounds of blasting powder in the basement!!" Then:—
"And those in front cried back." "Those behind cried forward Pretty soon all cried back and the valiant firemen squirted on the brick walls from the shelter of nearby buildings, while the crowd peeped around the corners of others. The blaze blazed, but the blasting powder failed to blast; it consisted of several kegs of ten inch nails. Ah, me, the fire loss was $10,000. It should not have exceeded $100.—Hudson Bay Clan.
WHO PAYS THE PIPER?
The common notion that the insurance companies pay the cost of fires is gradually giving way to an intelligent understanding of the fact that they are merely collectors and distributors of the fire tax. They must recover from the public the sums they pay out in losses, plus the cost of conducting their business, and a reasonable interest upon their capital. If they could not do this there would be no business of underwriting, and the sufferers from fire would be relieved only by direct assessment upon their more fortunate neighbors. It is not certain that a year or two of such direct assessment would not be an admirable educative experiment. At present the cost of the fire tax is merged with everything we eat and drink, and wear, and the masses of the people are ignorant of the fact that they bear it.—Franklin H. Wentworth.
HINTS FOR AGENTS.
Have an agent call before the engine.
Fire insurance for this world only.—Insurance Field.
The man who is satisfied with what comes to him unsolicited answers few knocks at the door.
Get away from the desk—get out of the chair-tilting class. Opportunities are in perpetual motion. Get after them.—Selling Insurance.
SOME STARTLING FIRE STATISTICS
"According to the last report of the United States Department of Commerce and Labor, the average yearly per capita cost of fires in all of the European countries is 33 cents; in the United States it is $3, and in Canada it is $3.07. The annual fire loss of Glasgow is $325,000; of Boston, a smaller city, it is $2,000,000; of Berlin, it is $175,000; of Chicago, a city of the same size, it is $5,000,000. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining the Berlin department is

DOES GLASS CAUSE FOREST FIRES?
State Forester Welty, of Washington, is investigating the possibility that broken bottles are sometimes the cause of forest fires. He says in a letter to various forest fire protective associations:
"May not the mysterious origin of fires in forest material be attributed to broken bottle glas?
"Many fires are reported each season by fire wardens, originating from causes unknown, along travelled roads and trails. No doubt, many of these fires can be attributed to the carelessness of travellers along the highways. A cigar stub, cigarrette or match carelessly thrown away and left to smoulder, is the cause of many fires.
"A Tacoma correspondent says: 'Eight years ago, while living at Grays Harbor, my duties caused me to cover a good deal of territory in and through the woods. One day at noon I was crossing an unused trail up the Wishkah river, when I discovered a little smoke coming from among a few leaves. I

I believe if glass found in the woods, especially in open dry places, was kicked or buried under earth, the glass could not do the work I saw the glass trying to do. Of course, I kicked this bottle under ground, and put out the fire just beginning."—B. C. Saturday Sunset.
