THE PORT OF BOTTLES.
A Dead spst in the Caribbean sea
That No Floating Flask Can
Get Away From

'There is dead spot in the Carib-
bean sea-" said the first officer of a
Brazilian ship, chatting at the custom
house the other day, that ought to be
called the port of bottles. 1t lies very
nearly midway between Cartagena, in
Colombia, and Kingston, Jamaica, and
at a guess | should say it was due east
of Cape Gracias a Dios 1t is out of the
steamer tracks and the action of the
great currents going one way and an
other has left a space of stagnant wa
ter without any real movement at all.
Anything that gets into the dead spot
is apt to stay there unless driven out
by some big storm, and will simply
drift round and round, gathering sea
grass and barnacles.
"The last time / saw the place was in
'95, when l was on board tramp from
Rio that had changed its course a little
to take up some rubber at a Central
American port. While we were pass
ing through we noticed a floating spar,
and among lot of rubbish attached to
it was a peculiar looking round object,
bright red in color. We put off a boat
TO investigate and it proved TO be a
patent buoy, which had been set adrift
from Florida lighthouse station in l
1913, and was part of a systematic at
tempt to ascertain the speed and direc- /
tion Of currents. Inside was an official /
memoranda which was afterward re-
turned to the navy department with /
data Of when and where found. But
what is a good deal more interesting is
the fact that while we were securing
the buoy we discovered three bottles
sticking in the drift. all covered with
weeds and slime. One was empty and
The other two had papers inside. The
irst was a memorandum that the bottle

SEA SWALLOWS CEMETERY.
Trees swayed, Church Del Toiled
and Wnterspouts Spread
Wide Havoc.

Reports lately received here from
eyewitness Of the Alaskan earth
quaxes in the early part of last Sep
tember go to show that the shocks were
even more appalling than any yet
known on the Pacific coast.
The center of the disturbance seems
to have been in the vicinity of Yal1utat
bay, where, among other strange hap
penings, an entire graveyard was swal-
lowed by the sea, so that when the
earthquake was over it was possible to
row out over what had once been the
ancient burying-ground, and TO see far
down in the depths the tops of tall
trees still standing erect,with all their
branches and foliage in what hence
forth win probably for ages to come re-
main the bed of the ocean. The only
trace Of the graveyard above water was
the top of very tall pole which had
stood on an elevation in the center Of
the cemetery and was surmounted by a
cross. A portion of the extreme end of
the cross was left above the surface Of
the waves.
Near Yakutat the shore was plowsd
with great burrows about four feet
apart, which originally were 20 feet in
depth, and now have been filed in with
sand until they are only about five feet
deep.
Great waterspouts rose in the bay.
They bored enormous holes in the sand
and earth, which they lifted high into
the air and spread them over miles of
territory far inland.
The shocks began on September 3 !
and continued at irregular intervals
and with varying force until Sunday,
the 10th, when the worst and most ter
rifying of all took place. The Indians I
were nearly insane with terror when
the first heavy jar came on the morn
ing of that day. The missionary, Mr..
johnson, was not intending to hold
service that day because he did not
think it safe for the people to assemble
in the church building. But the indians
begged him to do so, to propitiate
Oukow-their name for God, who, they
said, was angry at the earth and was
shaking 1t in His wrath. To appease
them, he consented, and the coincidence
that during the service there was not
single earthquake shock confirmed them
n their belief that it was all owing to
-he anger of the Deity.
When the service was over the worst
shock of the day occurred. Men were
Unable to stand erect, the trees waved
o and fro, as in terrible hurricane,
md the church spire swayed so that the
'ell kept up a continuous and ominous
olling which frightened the poor Indi-
ms more than anything else.
Had the earthcralke occurred at high
instead of low tide it is believed the en-
ire village of Yakutat would have been
wallowed up.--N. Y. World.

Awake To Your Opportunities.

Home trading is conducive to
the general welfare of any town.
1t is of direct benefit to the custo-
mer and the merchant and it indi-
rectly helps those who have no
interest in that particular transac-
ton. Home trading makes bust
ness better in all branches. 1t
tends to reduce taxes. 1t makes
the town grow faster. 1t develops
and promotes the spirit of public
enterprise and local loyalty, and in
the end will be found to be the
best policy for all communities to
which it is applied, for local pros
perity is undoubtedly the true
basis of permanent prosperity of
all towns large and small. Home
trading is inseparably united with
another principle, and the two
should always be considered to-
gether. Home advertising extends
further than advertising in local
newspapers. If you desire your
state or your town to be prosperous,
convince people that it is prosper
Gus. Immeasurable harm has been
done in Colorado because our peo-
pie have portrayed their situation
to be worse than it really was. A
vast amount of good can be done
by letting people know that we are
not only alive, but that we are do
ing very well. Colorado will re-
ceive great influx of people and
capital within the next few years.
The number and the quantity de-
pend to a great extent upon our
ability to convince them of the
manifold opportunities for success
that actually exist here. The best
method to accomplish the greatest
results in this direction is to pro-
duce actual facts and to prove be-
yond question that our people have
profited by such opportunities and
are now enjoying prosperity.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-03-20

The true policy for our state at
the present time is local develop
ment. The larger cities, Colorado
Springs, Denver and Pueblo, can
take care of themselves. They
will grow with the growth of the
state; and prosper with its pros
perity. What we want most of all
is people for the smaller town and
for the country districts. We
want local customers for our manu-
facturers and local consumers for
our producers. We want such a
local development of our resources
as will make the state a buzzing
hive of industry from one end to
the other, condition consistent
with and assured by our magnifi-
cent natural endowments and the
character, intelligence and enter
prise of our people.-Colorado

The c. B. l.. s; w. Company.

Under the efficient management
of Sup't. Geo. w. Thompson the
Crested Butte Light and Water
company has been made business
profitable to the stockholders and
an enterprise of inestimable bene-
fit to the community as whole.
At the time Mr.. Thompson was
given charge of the plant every
thing appertaining to both the
light and water service was in a
bad way and the capacity of each
unknown. He at once went to
work to establish matters upon a
good business basis and improve
where defects existed, and the re-
suit has been that at no time dur
ing the past three winters has the
town been without excellent pres
sure in the fire hydrants- con-
dition without a precedent in this
town. With the exception of a
short shutdown three years ago
to install a new dynamo, the light
service has also been continuous
and frst-class; indeed, the present
demand for lights cannot be filed.
All this was not accomplished
without a heavy expenditure of
money and a considerable amount
of labor; but the results have more
than justified the meane, because
Crested Butte now has superior
system of water works after a num-
Der of years experience with a
poorly operated and defective sys-
tenn. The claim had been made
and accepted as true that the elec-
trio plant used would not permit
of the installation of arc lights.
Mr.. Thompson did not coincide
with this view and went to work to
disprove it, and as a consequence
has arc lights running in several of
our business houses. Those in
terested in the company owe MIR.
Thompson q debt of gratitude for
the way in which he has enhanced
the value of their holdings.

The Eaby Tribune SGueals.

The PILoT does Frank Anderson injustice
in its report of his meeting with Cannon. Nc
mention is made of the condition of Frank
arm after the second round. Its statement that
Cannon scored tho only krocE-down is incOr-
rect for in the early stages OF the contest Frank
laid him low, securing the only clean fall of the
bout.-Gunnison Tribune.
The PILOT did Mr.. Anderson no
injustice in its account of his bout
with Cannon. Our report was
correct to the letter, notwithstand-
ing what some Sunday school
teacher who was thirty miles away
and who is ignorant of prize ring
tactics says about it.
The claim that Anderson knock
ed Cannon down early in the con-
test might appear all right to the
uninitiated, but a man don't fall
forward on all fours when knocked
down by an opponent standing
squarely in front of him. Anderson
pulled him down by failing to land a
hook. The only clean knock-do
in the whole fight was in the
twelfth round when Cannon put
Anderson to the floor fat on his
back with a left to the jaw. Ii
Andersou's left arm was hurt no
one was to blame. A fighter takes
risks like that when he enters the
ring.
The Tribune's, baby attempt to
detract from the credit due Gan
non is ridieuled by all local parties
who were present, To use its own
words, we would advise it "to take
its medicine like men, and not cry
like babies" AS far as Anderson
and Cannon are concerned, both
are our personal friends and both
know how to use the gloves.

About ten years ago a young
widow with three children went to
New York seeking employment.
The eldest child, a boy of fifteen,
had been before the mast, and his
boyish boast of the different knots
he could tie inspired an inventive
woman to order of him a screen of
tied rope. The effect was SO odd
and beautiful that a paying indus
try in rope-work resulted. By the
combined efforts of the family, one
daughter has been enabled to study
art in Paris, the other has lately
graduated from Cornell, and the
boy is a civil engineer of much
promise in the government service.
MY resources are what we our
selves can do" said friedrich the
Great to his discouraged generals,
The dictum is no less applicable
