dealer who undertakes to sell really

outrage on the consumer. yet it is the
consumers continual demand for

The growth of population about the
Great Lakes will be one of the impor-
tant revelations OF the present census.
Six Lake cities. Buffalo. Cleveland, To-
ledo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago,
have added more than million people
since 1890. an increase of nearly fifty
per cent. The increase is directly re-
lated to the growth OF commerce OF
the Great Lakes. which has doubled in
the last FIVE years. The tonnage ca
pacity OF vessels passing through the
canal at Sault Sainte Marie is now half
as large again as that of all the ves-
sells which enter and leave the port Of
New York, and two and half times as
great as the tonnage which passes
through the Suez Canal. The Great
Lakes certainly cannot be called "a
waste of waters They are teeming
with life and usefulness.

Americans Who Intended to Settle in

cOuragin@ Story.

New York, Jan. 25.-Among the
passengers who arrived Wednesday on
he steamship CuritYba from Neuvitas,
Cuba, were returning colonists from
La Gloria, all apparently discouraged
with their experiences in Cuba.
Among the number were B. 5. Child
worth, o.; Albert Schauk, Mansfield,
o.; w. I. Gould and j. w. Rhoades,
Illinois. and j. w. Welding, Chicago.
Mr.. Schauk stated that he had start
ed to reach La Gloria from Neuvitas,
buc he could not stand the hardships,
and after going half the distance turn
ed back. The land, he said, after one
had paid six prices for it, could not be
worked for less than $40 an acre. Sew
eral years would be required to make
it productive and even then. unless
new facilities were constructed, there
would be no way of getting the pro-
duct to market without paying many
times its actual value for freight.

ADVISED NOT TO BUY.
Naval Officers Report Against the Pur-
chase OF Submarine Boat Holland.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Secretary
Long has received from the board of
naval construction two reports on the
Holland submarine boat. The Holland
Co. had offered 20 sell the Holland to
the government for $165,000; to en-
body certain improvements in her and
sell her for $4,000, or to build two
new and larger boats for $4,000 each.
Four members of the board united in
majority report favoring the rejec-
tion of the propositions. based ON the
fact that the company is now delin-
quent in the case of the submarine
boat Flunger, on account of which the
government has already paid S99,1l6,
with no likelihood of her completion
in the near future. If the company
makes satisfactory settlement for the
Plunger then the board will be willing
to build one of the larger boats, but
not to purchase the Holland.
The chief constructor. Admiral
Hichborn, submits a minority report.
declaring that the ma iority did not
give sufficient credit and encourage
ment to the enterprise of the com
pany. He declares that the results OBJ
tanned with the Holland were very sat
isfactory and that in view of the small
cost Of submarine boats the govern
ment should accept the Holland and
order two larger boats.
