luzon the Juice,

The statement made upon author
| ity of a member of the Cabinet that
the Presidents policy in regard to the
Philippines contemplates the reten-
tion by the United States of "only the
island of Luzon, on which the city of
Manila is situated" has not been de-
MED, and many circumstances tend to
confirm it.
That this would be no mean acqui-
sition a few facts will show. Luzon
is hte largest island of the Philippine
group. 1t is about $50 miles long,
with a varying width of from 10 to
13O miles. AS no acurate survey of
even the larger islands has ever been
made, it is impossible to find an ex-
statement of their area. Luzon has
been estimated by some authorities to
contain 100000 square miles. The
National Geographic Magazine gives
the area at about 1000 square miles,
corresponding in size to the state of
Ohio The same authority puts the
area of the entire group at 114,356
square miles.
According to the most conservative
estimate, therefore, the island of Lu-
zon has more than Cne-third of the
land area of the entire group 1t is
nearly as large as the State of New
York. 1t is larger than the combined
areas of the States of Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont
Rhode Island and New Jersey. Eng
land has but 50,S40 square miles, Cuba
1920 and Puerto Rico only $780,
So that in retaining "only Luzon"
we should get very tidy bit" of
land.
When population, wealth and COM
mercial importance are taken into
consideration, Luzon is worth all the
rest. Its population is estimated at
4, 800 900, or half of that fthe entire
group. The population of the city of
Manila and its suberbs is about 300 900
or nearly that of San Francisco. It
contains the greater portion of the in
habitants who are at all civilized. The
foreign commerce Of the islands, am
ounting to nearly $4,000, 900, mostly
passes through Manila.
The bay of Manila, one of the finest
in the world, is about 120 miles in cir
cumference, with deep water and very
few dangers to navigation-since
Dewey entered it. 1t has been said of
the city that it's commercial location
is the best in the world. Luzon has
the only railroad in the Philippines
single-track road 1873 MES in length
running from Manila to Cagupin, in
the rice-growing districts.
So that, all things considered, il we
retain "only Luzon," shall we not get
all the juice of the pineapple, dis
carding the rind and the pith New
York World.

His excellency, the Gear, the sole
arbitrary proprietor of the greatest
absolute monarchy on the globe, has
rather surprised all the other powers
by suggesting the necessity of great
international peace relations.
The Car has taken advanced
ground in the matter, and his idea OF
peace conference is one that all the
other countries should fall over them
selves to become part of the crowd
that will no doubt occupy the band

Cement Sidewalks.

How would it do fer the City Coun.
Gil to take decided ground in favor OF
cement sidewalks for the whole CITY
by establishing permanent rule that
where any lot owner will pave in
front of his property with cement
walk or artificial stone that the city
will pay a certain proportion of the
cost OF same. If this could be done
in few years the whole city would
have fine cement sidewalks which
would be permanent and the best
thing that could be done in the lone
run. p RONO DID

Land in the Heart of Chicago.
John Baptiste Lemieux, The we'll

1910, or soon after, he went 10 Chicago
and worked as a shipbuilder there with
Mr.. Morrison, now a millionaire. It is
related that customer who could not
pay cash offered lots on what is now
Clark street, near the court house.
Lemieux declined, but Morrison ac-
cepted, and through them became
wealthy. Mr. Lemieux then tried farm
ing in Illinois, but soon abandoned that
for more congenial occupations.
About 1s4s he came to this vicinity
and built at Duck Lake a sawmill for
Charles Mears, of Chicago. He later
owned and ran a hotel at Port Sherman.

tupboats on this lake and its tributary
territory.

to Sault Ste. Marie. Few men were bet

When a young woman sits down and
ponders over her future life, there is one
all-important subject which she should not

facing death. Matrimony and motherhood
hold out no happiness to the young woman

man who suffers in this way will be weak,
