In the city of Portland, Ore. next month there is to bz a celebration | when the Columbia River hizhway is dedicated, to which the governors of all the states and many other distin- guished guests have been invited. Thi. affair has been arranged so that it will occur ot the same time with the annual ros I, which has been a feat i 3 metropolis for a period of ten Muct iven to such Dbeautific : < is encour- aged hie rose show, through- out the o P coast. The peo- ple of that section know the value of such attr s and they have made the most of developing them. The e tent to which Porland has encour- aged this is indicated by the declara tion that more than 25,000,000 roses Bloom in that ciiv each vear, to say nothinz of the billions of buds. Hun- dreds of miles of rose hedges beautify parkinz strips and there is one gar- den where more than a million roses are in bloom at one time. What prep- arati re made for this annual| show, h cannot help but inspire a gencrous cooperation upon the par of that five m indicated by the fact ion roses are raquired to decorate the floats in the floral pa- geants and the festival center cov- ers 80,000 square feet where countless numbers of roses and other flowers are displayed. There is no =ood reason why such attractive features should be confined to the western states. New England ean grow roses as well they can and the example is one which ought to be followed. Norwich for instance ought to bo interested in adopt- ing such a scheme as an additional reason for beine known as the Rose of New England. SHOULD FINISH THE JOB. Even now there ampears to be much uncertainty about what this country Is going to do rezarding the Mexican situation. One day the indications are that the punitive expedition is to be withdrawn in compliance with the de- mands of Carranza and on the addi- ‘lonai ground that the Villa supporters Jre thoroughly scattered, but on the Bext the indications are that the troops P11 not only be kept in that republic But that reinforcements are being sent to them for further pursuit of the Sandits and added protection to the lines of communication. This gives the impression that this government has po definite or fixed policy regarding Mexico, and that it is floundering around much the same as it did previous to the raid upon Columbus. If Villa had been disposed of there could be only one thing to do and that would be to call the troops back but it is quite evident that he Is alive and just as likely to make more trouble in the future as he has in the past. Carranza_has dome little or fothing to ald the United States expedition or o capture the bandit chieftain. The trouble at Parral shows a tendency to cooperate with him instead of with Ihis country, and with the reports to fhe effect that the brisand is again prganizing & force in another locality fhrough such passive assistance as WS CO respect manity, and such is recognized by all nations. It is not against such con- duct that protests have been or are being made, but against the disregard for these restrictions and the use of the suhmarines for the piratical oper- ations which have resulted in the un- justified taking of lives of non-com- batants. Germany from using its submarines legitimately and none would think of such a thing, any more than it would be attempted with other nations at war, but Germany has gone far beyond the bounds of reason and grossly ex- ceeded ‘its rights by its destruction of vessels without giving them warning, without taking care to see that they had the right to do what they did and without attempting Killing or drowning of men, women and children. been no cause for complaint in the past had it been governed by the re- strictions which are applied to all, and there can be none now when it ob- serves the rules of war. final outcome of the arrest of von Igel and the seizure of the papers in his office is going to be. added new evidence and support to the belief, that previously existed, that the representatives of foreign govern- ment were carrying on an active pro- paganda this country and entirely outside their rights as the helpers in the diplo- matic corps of other nations. furnished further evidence that this country acted rightly and none too soon when it insisted upon the recall of Captains von Papen and Boy-Ed, and hired agents of these men were using this country as a base for striking at other belligerents were founded upon more than suspicion, ed that the papers be returned to the German embassy on the ground that they are German property are papers. ther clrim hims to be no iner raising in this ing ahead statistics show tha since 1909 there hos be ip wool production in this country of twelve the case of cattle raisi industry of former days. turers eager to zet home grown ool because of its superiority. production, however, at a time when the population is constantly increas- ing and the shortage greater thereby, to be dene but to depend upon the foreign an opportunity exists In this direction for the farmers of this country is re- vealed by the wool that is used here has to be obtained abroad. placing bigger business that President Wood of the American Woolen company should declare that can perform a great service as ralders 1t legitimate- as long as they comply With the ncerning such operations and the rights of neutrals and hu- No neutral could hope to prevent wife. to prevent the Thus there could have THE VON IGEL PAPERS.

As a matter of statistics, all the coffee imported into the United States last year from the Far East, including the famed ‘centers' of the indieiry, Macha and Java, amBunted to leea than one-third of one per cent of the total billion pounds that went into the American percolator. “Coffee drinkers will not begrudge Mocha her fame, however, for that is all that remains to her of a once flourishing trade, a trade which pop- ularized the beverage throughout the world. “Tradition tells us that the uses of coffee were discovered in Abyasinia about the time that Columbus was cogitating upon his scheme to reach the Indies and the tea countries by salling West across the Atlantic. Cor- reiative with this tradition are many legends about the manner of its dis- covery, one of the most picturesque being that a flock of sheep, after browsing on the indigenous coffee shrub became unusually frisky, as a result of the stimulant and that this excitement was followd by sleepless up to specifications and was promptly rejected. The Greek was not very Eappy over this outcome of his little deal, but by no means in despair. Aft- er scouting about a bit he found an- other department of the British army, in need of lumber and offered the re- jected timber. A brief bout at hag- gling over the price, and the Greck received 46 cents a foot for the lumber that had been rejected at ten cents less On another occasion a British officer in charge of certain road construction solved the problem of securing his labor by letting the contract to em- ploy the men to a Greek. There were to be something over 1,000 workmen who were to receive three drachmae « ty cent: per day. The Greek contractor, was to receive, in addition, ten cents head per day for each man so furnished. As all Macedonia is full of refugees form Thrace and ia Minor who are in most desper- ate want, the contractor had no diffi- culty in securing all the men he want- ed ana colecting, himself, ten cents a head per day from each of the men whom he turned over to the British ofiicer. Though the Greek was making $200 per day and over out of the arrange- ment, with no personal effort. he was unsatisfied with his bargain. So he engineered a strike among the men, and then offered to act as mediator, persuading the luborers to return to work on condition of an increase of & | franc (twenty cents) per day in their pay. Of this he himself levied on the men for an additional five cents per man per day——and only made the ar- rangement on consideration of receiv- ing from the British officer in charge of the work another five cents per man per day In addition to the ten cents he was already drawing from that source for his services. 5 The work lasted over a month. With his double rake off of 30 cents per man per day, tht Greek cleared some- thing over $8,000 on the job. ni; % e Mohammedans began to use coffee as an antisoporific during their long religious vigils, a practice frown- ed upon by orthodox Mussulmans who argued that it savored of a form of in toxication. However, the habit spread. 1t reached Egypt in the 16th century and Europe in the 17th, the first cof- fec houses being_estabilshed In Con- stantinople and Venice. Some fifty years after Sir Walter Raleigh start- led the maid who tried to extinguish him_when sbe saw bim puffing away on his American tobacco, the first London coffee house was established. Charles I sought to abolish it as it was supposed to be the place af meeting for disloyal subjects, but coffee drinking grew and coffee houses multiplied.

At the end of the 1Tth century the coffee plant was Intro- duced into Java and in a short time ‘mocha and java' became a trade name of great popularity. “It was in 1713 that Jamaica re- celved her first consienment of coffee plants from Amsterdam, and from that time dates the rapid growth of the industry in the Western hemisphere Drug Users Increased. The war has incidentally revealed the existence in Parls of a number of opium smokers, cocaine and morphine users that was unsuspected before. Monsieur Charles Bernard, deputy for the district of Montmartre where he is engaged in the drug business esti- mates the number of optum dens now in existence at 1,200. “Even the flower girls on the street” he says, “have been drawn into _the trafic In stupefaclents. Recently a girl in short skirts and with a viclous expression offered a bouquet of violets to a passer-by. The man wanted no violets but the girl's expression ex- cited his pity and he tossed her two sous. ‘But it's twenty francs’, she said softly. Then, approaching near enough to whisper, she added, ‘there some ‘coco’ inside’. “‘Coco’ is the famillar term used in the quarter for cocaine of whidh there was a littls_paper concealed in the heart of the bouquet. There are other quarters of Paris also where the same practice has tken root. An elegantly dressed woman got out of a taxi in front of a fashionable bar in the center of Parls and asked the footman of the establishment if he would please fill her lighter with gas- oline. A plain clothes man standing by seized the lighter when it was filll- ed and it was found to contain a so- lution of chlohydrate or morphine. These incidents show how forbidden drugs are procured. There are eaid to be at least thirty illicit establish- ments in Montmartre where morphine is to be had. including bars, cafes, restaurants and hotels. The Chamber of Deputies has just voted a law raising the maximum pen- alty for illicit trafic in oplum and kindred drugs from 3,000 francs to 10,000 francs fine and from two months to'two years imprisonment.
