and it has not been easy to get thor
oughly reliable workmen to meet the
calls for hands on railway construc-

very fully employed all over the COL

Wellington alone has added to the
value of inhabited property during the
last five years to the extent of $7,56S,-
610. The better class of carpenters
have been scarce, even when II shil-
lings ($2.67) a day was offered; masons
and bricklayers have received high
wages while the call for competent
plasterers is still unsatisfied. In the
iron trade a few were out of employ
ment toward the end of the year, but
all engineering work is showing i'm
provement and is fast recovering from
the dullness experienced after the tenn
pOrary collapse of the overinhated
gold-dredging industry, which now
rests on a more solid basis than on the
excitement of the mining markets. The

in the past few months, and promises
increase of output in marked degree.
The wooden mills have steadily kept up
their full employing capacity, and the
only drawback to their increased trade
is the difficulty in getting sufficient la
Dor especially that of girls in the
hosiery departments. Laundry work
has almost doubled, and the demand

The full employment of skilled labor in
towns has been equaled by that of ag-
ricultural and pastoral workers in
country districts. That the increase in
cultivation and breeding of stock has
been of service to all classes is shown
by the steadily growing value of the
colony's exports, which has risen from

fine men for a state of things that is
inevitable, since if all the women in the
country We're married there would still
be an excess of men. The distinction
of sex was first made in the census of
1920. During the seventy years from
1880 to 1900 the absolute excess of males
was greater at each census than at any
preceding census, with one exception
that of 1870. when the excess of males
was less than i'm 1850 and 1860. This
reduction of the excess of males be-
tween 1860 and 1870 by about 300,OUO was
doubtless due to the deaths in the Civil
War and the diminished immigration
during the decade. The greatest re-
lative excess of males was i'm 1890, when
i'm each 10000 persons there were PAP
more males than females. By 1900 this
excess had decreased to 216 in 10000
less than the relative excess in 1890 and
1860 but greater than that of each
other census. In continental United
States there are now 1858, 321 more
males than females, or about two in
each 100 persons. Probably in the
population of the world as a whole, and
certainly in that helf of it which has
been counted with distinction of sex,
there are several millions more males
than females. In continental United
States, however, the relative excess of
males is greater than the average for
all countries. Europe has an excess of
females; every other continent, so far
as known has an excess of males. AS
a rule, sparsely settled regions have am
excess of males and densely settle re-
gions an excess Of females. The Anne
rican cities, as a rule, have more fe-
males than males.

Captain WiIlnef's Remarkable Escape
Shows What to Do in Time Of

0HOWS VuNs ~ ~ ~ '"'S ~
Trouble.
For many years, Captain Willnef,
says the Times, of Gloucester, Mass.
was one Of the best known seamen
in the Gloucester fleet The sea and
it's dangers had no terror for him, but
the catarrhal troubles with which he
suffered for fifteen years made him
dread the nights at sea, for he had to
walk the cabin floor, being unable to
lie down and sleep on account of the
constant catarrhal dropping.
Captain Willnef went to two differ
ent hospitals for treatment, but could
get no lasting benefit. He constant
ly raised yellow and green phlegm and
his trouble became SO unbearable and
nauseating that he was ashamed to
go out In company When despairing
of ever getting relief, his wife pur-
chased a Hyomei outfit for him, and
irving it before going to bed, he en-
loved the first whole nights sleep for
ten years Captain Willnef says: Il
have used less than two bottles Of
Hyomei and have been cured by the
remedy. My friends ask me what is
responsible for my improvement, and
I tell them Hyomei. which has given
me full and complete recovery"
Captain Wilneff's experience shows
our readers what to do In time Of
catarrhal troubles-use Hyomei. This
remarkable treatment kills the germs
Of catarrh and makes lasting and per-
manent cures. Mcbride & VIII sell
Hyomei under their personal guarantee
to refund the money IL it does not give
quick relief.

these columns an account of his arrest
on charge Of intoxication, and a sem
tence to ten days in the county Jail
Mr.. Mills deniese that he has been in
the city, and desires to be set right be-
fore the public. The man giving his
name as Albert Mills, Of Grinnell, is
still in Jail, and no doubt gave an as
sumed name. The man was sentenced
on the Goth, so his term does not ex-
pire until next Sunday. He is Ger

language, and claimed to have been
working on a farm near Grinnell The
name he gave, however, appears on
