THE 500 POWER CANAL.

Cost $5,oOO,OoO and Required Four
Years to Construct.
1t has taken four years to construct
and 100000 to build the great water
power canal which has been finished at
Sault Ste. Marie. This canal is consid-
cred by engineers as the most magnlfi-
cent work of its kind, in the world. Like
an immense river, 220 feet broad, and
deep enough to float the biggest vessel
that sails the lakes, it divides Sault Ste.
Marie into city Of two parts, with the
island portion now for the first time
completely surrounded by water, the
business section and the balance Of the
city being given over to the homes of its
citizens.
The canal is two and third miles
long, from the mouth Of the intake
above the rapids to the overflow far be-
low the entrance to the ship canals. The

The following rules have been COM
piled for amateurs:
/. Do not put the principal object Of
interest in the exact center Of the pic
ture.
2. Do not have the light and shade
in patchy spots all over the picture.
3. Do not have the lines in the pic
ture sloping off to one side. nor have
figures apparently walking off the pa
per.
4. Do not have prominent objects
in q straight line, nor with equal
spaces between them.
8. Remember that an effect of dis
lance is produced by lack Of sharpness
Of outline as we'll as by diminishing
size.
6. The picture should tell but one
story, SO that the beholder may never
be In doubt what the author intended
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1902-11-27

as the principal matter of interest.
Z. No unnecessary accessories. The
camera takes in with too great sharp
ness all the details within range and
the tendency of the inartistic amateur
Is to help it make a record of all his
possessions at once.
8. There should be proper balance
between the amount Of light and
shade
y. Don't omit to get some sort of
sky Into the picture, even If it is no
more than summing the print after 1t
comes from the printing frame, so that
the sky shades up from a bright hori-
zon to somewhat deeper color above.
10. Look out for the foreground and
the lower corners. They ought not to
look like barren waste, nor ought
anything of importance to appear in
them.

THE TRAMP AND THE SHOTGUN.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The Kansas farmers have overcome the
physical inertia Of the hobo. They did 1t
with gun. The deficiency of farm hands
in Kansas is estimated at about 10000
men. The harvest fields. with their golden
seas of over ripe grain, are calling for
men, A freight train westward bound was
wrecked near the .owr of Pratt. On the
train were fifty or sixty tramps bound
for Colorado for their health. The farm
ers heard of 1t and offered them 81 per
day and plenty of good food and shell
ter. They declined the offer. Thereupon
the farmers tried shotgun persuasion,
with the result that nearly all of the
tramps are now toiling in the harvest
fields of Pratt County, and they will be
kept at it until the wheat is all garnered.
The picturesque feature OF the episode
is furnished by the women of the farms.
who are acting as guards, each armed
with a shotgun.
If the Pratt County idea spreads 1t

problem.

An Epidemic Of Strikes.

The country is experiencing at the
present time an epidemic of strikes.
Some of them are of large proportions
and are conducted with considerable
bitterness, although as rule they are
free from rioting or bloodshed. The
modern strike manager has learned
that strike conducted within the law
is better than one based on violence,
and every possible effort is made to
keep down outbreaks of disorder and
to prevent collisions that would involve
loss of life. The injunction has been
discountenanced except In West Vir-
ginia. where 1t is still employed. 1t Is
there employed to an extent that is
simply absurd.
The present strike epidemic is at
tributed in part to a desire to share
in the large earnings of prosperity and
In part to the higher prices of meats
and breadstuffs. 1t is we'll known that
good times and hard times alike breed
strikes. The strikes in hard times
occur to prevent reductions in wages,
while those in prosperous times occur
because wages are not high enough to
suit the workmen.
At the present time dislike of the
trusts, the higher cost of living and
the great profits earned in industrial
enterprises are all operating to create
strikes, and no doubt we shall have a
succession of them while present con-
ditions are maintained. II hard times
succeed strikes will also occur, and
thus 1t happens that only average in
teryals are free from them. Organized
capital sets the pace and organized
labor is endeavoring to keep up. These
battles between the two industrial
forces need not, however, be married
by acts OF violence or by pestiferous
Injunction. They are differences that
should be wrought out and not fought
out, and the best of patience and hon
est intention is needed in all of them.

oNE-cENT STORES.

From the New York Times.
When the and 10-cent stores were es-
tablished and proved a success, it was
supposed that the lowest limit had been
reached. But the 1-cent store has in the
past few months become an establish
ed institution In New York. Unlike the 8
and Decent stores, these appeal to both
sexes, but only to those of very tender
ages. The little schoolboys and girls are
the chief patrons of the 1-cent stores, and
they are established in localities as near
public schools as possible.
1t might surprise the average person to
see the variety of useful and ornamental
articles that can be sold for a cent. The
counters and windows of the 1-cent stores
are literally packed with goods of every
conceivable variety, and when neatly
spread out they make a rather tempting
display. The average boy does not know
what he wants when he has a penny to
spend. He goes into a store of the ordi-
nary kind and looks around, his eyes
grow large and greedy and he asks the
price of one article after another, only
to find that everything is beyond his
reach.
How much money you got?" asks the
clerk, exasperated at the child's uncer-
tainty and delay. The child holds up a
penny-an important sum to him. The
clerk shifts at 1t, points to a small case
with a half dozen dilapidated articles in
it, and says: That's all we nave for
penny" Then he turns his attention to
more important customers and the young
purchaser, with his penny In his grasp.
is neglected until the tears are ready
to appear In his eyes. Sometimes the
clerk takes pity on him and helps him
to decide, but more often he is left to
himself until he leaves the store in de-
spair
The idea of the new penny store is to
make trade attractive to the child with
only penny to spend. The store is pecu-
liarly his. Huge signs are displayed on
every side announcing that every article
costs just one cent What a feast to
the eyes of the boy with only a penny
to spend. He first gazes into the window
and then goes inside and passes from
one counter to another. OF course, he
purchases something, and comes back the
next day with another penny TO spend.
