WANT RELIEF
Expect to Offset Canadian
 Duties.

Washington, Feb. 2I.-A further effort win be made to procure relief for the ship building companies on Puget sound from competition with British Columbia con eens ln repairing vessels. Under present conditions an American vessel can be taken to British Columbii and after undergoing repairs ean be returned to the United states withou, payment of duty on the articles used In making the repairs. This practice obtains. notwithstanding the fact that machinery and boilers imported Into this country from the Canadian side are sub feet to heavy duty. When the Topeka and other steamships which have been wrecked In Alaska waters were sent to British Columbia for repairs, bill was introduced to afford relief for the Puget sound shipbuilding companies which sui fered from the eomretition.
 Deposition developed to this measure, and the commerce committee of the senate finally refused to give the matter further consideration.

RED TAPE
Destruction Is Necessary to
 Comply With Rules.

A peculiar situation, involving triang- ular contention between the United States, Great Britain and the Alaska Commercial Company, ct San Francisco, has grown out of the wreck ot the steamer Bertha. While no International complications are threatened, the Alaska Commereial Com pany Is between two fires. with what would appear 10 be a good case for dam- ages against the two governments.
 When the Bertha piled up on the rocks her taSsengeyS beat a nasty retreat over a gangplank run out on on oyerhanging cliff. Later 900 tons oi cargo were carried ashore. Muea of lt was perlShable and the full consignment, has been leit exposed to the elements. No shelter was to be had.
 Capt. mes Carroll, local manager ot the company. applied to the Canadian GUS toms authorities at Victoria for permit to move the freight to a passing American vessel, as the wreck occurred In Canadian waters. This privilege was tenIed. He then turned tO his own government, re- queStlng that he be allowed Co load the bertha'S cargo on a British bottom, which had been secured to assist in footing the Bertha. But Collector cf Customs HueS- tis, of Port Townsend, declined, saving he was no, clothed with such powers.
 Meanwhile the Beriha's cargo IS in pro- cess Of destruction ou the shores of Fitz hugh sound Much of it has already been ruined.

Two Kind. of prearlne...

You hear often from car windows
observers of the "dreary" desert, the
''hopeless," the cherries" desert.
But the desert deserves none of these
adiectives. IL is dreadful, If you wish,
in the way in which it Furnishes the ig.
norance and presumption of those who
know not the signs of thirst; it is
sometimes awful in its passions Of
dust, torrents, heat; il is even monot-
onous to those who love only the life OF
crowded cities; but it is never dreary
or cherries. Hopelessness may vel!
apply 10 the deserts Of Mulberry street
and Smoky Hollow, with their choked
and heated tenements. their foul odoTs,
their swarms Of crowded and hideous
human life; but the desert of the arid
land is eternally hopeful. smiling,
strong, rejoicing in itself. The desert
is never morbid in its adversely; on the
other hand, il is calm and sweet and
clean-the clesnest of all land. Not
till man comes, bringing his ugly min
ing towns and his destructive herds,
does it bear even the vestige of the I'M
clean, the dreary, the unpicturesque.

ORIGIN of the word cuhn.

Cuba is the name by which the island
was originally known TO the Lucayan
Indians, who were with Columbus
when he discovered it. One of its vii
lagos or cities was called by them
Cubanacan. and it is reported that
from the similarity of sounds Of
Columbus, still supposing himself to be
on the coast of Asia, imagined that
this must be a city of Kubia Khan, the
Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival Of the original
name for Cuba is a remarkable in.
stance of persistence, as the island, has
been baptized and rebaptized many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called il Juana in honor
Of Prince John, the son of Ferdinand
and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death
il was called, in his memory Fernan-
dina. Subsequently this name was
changed to Santiago after ST, James,
the patron saint Of Spain Still later
1t was named Ave Maria in honor Of
the Virgin Mary. But none Of these
names held, and the Indian name is still
preserved.-Literary Era.

ORIGIN OF BICYcLE-DIvING.

mer. The idea was TO ride along the
top of the artificial embankment Of
the Tiber and plunge into the river be-
yond. The diver must retain control
over the machine, not only after leav-
ing terra firma and plunging dizzily
into midair, but also during the awful
and breath-catching descent to the
surface of the water. After sinking
deep down with the machine, he must
swim TO land with tia most awkward
and even dangerous rescue" TO effect
when beyond ones depth. Thus 1t may
be seen that the contest was one which
called for more than the average
amount of physical endurance, as well
as for a steady head and mistaken
nerve. says Pearson's Magazine.

This weird and extremely novel race
was easily won by the iron-nerved
cyclist, both as regards time and clean
jumping.
There was tremendous excitement
just before the race came OFF. and dense
crowds lined the high embankment
that skirts the Tiber. The excitement
was quite az fever heat when the order
was giyen-"Gol" and both cyclist and
foot runner started off az a terrific
pace. II seemed hardly possible that
any sane man could deliberately ride
a bicycle over so appalling a precipice;
