We have just one line of Atlantic
steamships flying the American flag
and that belongs to the ship trust
One Of the vessels, the ST. Louis,
broke down on her late voyage to New
York and the president of the steam
ship tristan Englishman-has or
dered her to be sent to Ireland or
England for repairs. The labor unions
and the marine trade council have
protested that it is dangerous to her
crew to have her cross the ocean in
her disabled condition and cite the
provisions Of section 4453 of the re-
vised statutes to show that the gov
eminent officials should not allow the
vessel to sail. The owners say it is
cheaper to repair the vessel on the
other side and they would have doubt
less risked vessel and crew if the labor
unions had not protested. No wonder
we cannot build up a merchant ma
rine, with our sole Atlantic line run
by foreigners discriminating against
this country. Yet our government
pays a large subsidy for carrying the
mails to the American line. but it does
not seem to aid our ship yards. II

years it has been known to contain
large quantities Of gold the treasure
has been lying unclaimed because OF
the refusal of the natives to go after
it, At last this famed and feared
valley has been compelled to give up
the rich treasure which for ages it has
successfully guarded by its pail OF

true to its name, has dealt death to
many a ventureEome searcher for the

mountain faetresses of the island and
according to the theories Of the scien-

valley and hang over 1t like . pail,
never passing away, and many natives
who have attempted to so down Into
the valley from the mountains say
that never before has any man who
ventured into its unknown depths re-
