THE brigantine Tanner arrived in
port yesterday morning, after a
trip of twenty-eight days from
Port BIakeley. At first, weak head
winds were encountered, but after the
vessel had been some days out she ran
into strong southwesterly winds with
q. heavy sea. OFF Cape Flattery the
brig Courtney was sighted. She was
partly dismasted, having lost her fore
royal and fore topgallant masts, and
Captain Newhal ran UP to her to see
If any assistance was wanted. The
Courtney was getting along very well,
however, having rugged up jury mast,
and having favorable wind. She ar
rived at Port Townsend the next day,
and was taken from there to Tacoma,
where she was put on the dry dock.
About ten days out a four-masted
steamer was sighted, bound up.
The Tanner has a cargo of $4,000
feet of lumber for this port, and is
now lying at the lumber wharf. Cap
tain Newhal is a we'll known skipper
in this port. having made ffty-four
trips TO Honolulu, altogether. He did
not much fancy the length Of the pres

Waste of Shipping.

A return of vessels of all countries
| lost or broken up during the first half
of the present year has now been is
sued by Lloyd's Registry. As usual,
the British empire shows the largest
loss of steam tonnage, viz: 1926 gross
tons; but as the total steam tonnage
owned in the empire is Il, 149,O90 tons
gross, the percentage is only OBS; while
out of S,192, 93S gross steam tonnage
owned by the remaining civilized cOun-
tries of the world, 1921 gross tons, or
O55 per cent were lost. In taking the
United Kingdom alone a still greater
showing is made, since out of a total
of 11,513, 759 tons, but 29. 44S tons, or 0.26
per cent had to be removed from the
register Out of 20 steamships lost in
the half year, collisions were RESPONSE
BILE for 10, while another 10 have been
as missing, and 80 as wreck |
ed. Apparently the loss is greatest !
among the smaller steamers, while the |!
average size of steamers of the world, |
taken as a whole, is about 1,450 tons, |
the average of those removed from the
Register is 1850. This is, of course, to
new ships average a greater distance
han their predecessors; and, in facing
he perils of the seas, have the advan-
age of youth, combined with all the
attest improvements" in materials and
machinery. The loss of sailing ships
vas much greater during the half year
han that of steamers, amounting to
So vessels out of total of 1855; but
he gross tonnage was less, being 77,776
ons gross. Speaking roughly, the per-
entage of loss in sailing ships is some
wo and a half times what it is in the

ARE WOMEN INFERIoR2
An Old Question Considered in the
Light of Recent Well Known
Facts.

For ages mankind has been dis
tracted over the relative status of
the sexes. The majority of men have
held that the opposite sex is inferior
to their own. That this is true phys
ically does not admit of question, but
their mental relation is not SO appar-
ent. If one looks afield the coDclu-
sion comes that woman's physical in
feriority is the result not of sex, but
of something wrong in their manner
of life, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Among the savages the strength
and endurance of woman seem to
equal those of man, and as a general
rule her lord and master allows her
the privilege of doing the hardest
work and bearing the heaviest bur
dens. A Mexican woman tills the
looks after the children and when
migrating to another place trudges
off with a load of goods and chattels
on her shoulders and the younger
members of her family perched on
the top of all.
In Germany women work beside
their husbands on the farms and APP
parently are as capable of doing so.
In Austria one sees women employed
as masons' laborers and in carrying
bricks and mortar. In France one
constantly sees women digging
trenches, carting seaweed for manure
and doing all the heaviest work of
an agricultural laborer.
From these facts it seems that
when woman is physically mans in
ferior the fault lies in her method of
life, which somehoW causes physical
degeneration. There seems to be no
real reason why a healthy woman
should have less power of endurance
than a man of the same size and de-
velopment.
Perhaps 'women's weakness"
might more justly be termed 'wom-
ems follies," for it seems an undoubt-
I'd fact that medical men would have
comparatively little to do if it were
not for the injury that women fool
ishly or ignorantly inflict upon them
selves and which the doctors are
called in to reDair

MOST ANCIENT WATER MILL
One in Connecticut Destroyed After
BeinE Operated Two Hundred
and Fifty Years.

What perhaps is the Oldest tenure of
property in the United States came to
an end recently when Fowler's mills,
in Milford, Conn, passed from the pos
session of William Fowler into that of
George NJ. Gum, lawyer of that town.
The mill site and the perpetual water
franchise of the Wopowage river, on
which it is situated, have been owned
by the Fowler family since 1910, 20
years after the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth. William NJ. Fowler, the last
owner, was the eighth William in n
succession of nine generations. Now
the water power will furnish electric
ity to light the town, says an eastern
exchange.
The old mill was the first grist mill
in the colony of Connecticut, and the
second in America. In shed attached
to it was operated the first Sawmill in
the western hemisphere. AT its doors
was built the first wagon bridge on
this continent.
When hnsantawae, the Sachem of
the Paugasucl Indians, sold to the
settlers of Milford a strip two miles
long on the banks of Wopowage river,
William Fowler was one of the buy
ers. He was leader among the men
of the settlement, to which he and
40 others had come from the settle
ment of New Haven. He was mem
Der of the general court of the colony,
and was one of the first three civil
Judges appointed by the governor.
He was also man of influence with
the Indians, and his skill as diplomat
pulled the little settlement through
many tight place. In recognition
of his services the villagers, backed
up by the gencral court, voted to him
and his heirs the perpetual right to
the use of the water Of the Wopowage
river.
The mill was completed in the fall
Of 1910, and ON the day before Thanks
giving the sluice was raised and the
water was allowed to turn the stone
for the first grist of wheat. All day
it ran. The first flour taken from the
mill was baked into bread which was
used in a communion service.
The next year an apparatus for the
saving of lOrS into boards was added
