ST. HELENA HAS A BOOM.
Bosr Prisousrs OF War Add Life ana
Activity to the IsIand.

Activity to the Island. I'D
Perhaps not since Napoleon was an
involuntary resident at st. Helena has
the island risen to 80 much promi-
nence az II may now claim to enjoy.
For this reason the report OF Gov.
Sterndale, dated August. 1900, will be
found OF unusual interest. The i'm
ports have jumped from G34.3s5 In
1897, to 291, ,699 in 1899. and for 1900
a much larger increase is anticipated.
Labor IL in demand at good wages.
there is no want among the indus
trious, and 1T is a pleasure to record"
says the governor, that. although
money has been more plentiful aud
the temptations Of the public houses
greater. serious crime has been absent
and petty crimes less than in the pre-
vious year. The cost Of living has.
however, greatly increased. and dur
ing the present year the prices Of food
have doubled and Quadrupled. 30 that
what used to be considered necessaries
OF life. such as milk. butter. eggs and
meat, are now luxuries. and the prin-
cipel food Of the poor, 1. e.. fish. Is
both scarce and expensive. With the
increased garrison and the great num-
ber Of prisoners OF war. large guam
tity of fish, which Is plentiful enough
in the sea, could profitably be dis
posed Of daily were the people ener-
getic enough to catch them. l have
always advocated a fishery company
here, worked by English capital and
labor, and had such a one been start
ed as projected In 1s96-1s97, 1t would
have been reaping golden harvest
Just now, both in salted and fresh
nsh. The aspect of the place has
greatly changed; instead Of the Quie,
monotony OF past years. jamestown

perils OF our roads are considerably
