OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD
According to Scientists Our Earth
Had Its Origin in the Lauren
tian Highlands.

Stretching across Canada, north of
the st. Lawrence, and ending in the
regions about the source of the Mis-
sissippi, is a range of low granite hills
called the Laurentian highlands. These
hills are really mountains that are al.
most worn out, for they are the old
est land in America, and, according
to Agassiz, the oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water on the face of the globe,
these. mountains came up-a long is
land of primitive rock with universal
ocean chatting against its shores. None
of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting of this land to the
north and the appearance of the tops
of the Alleghenies which were next
in order. Later the Rockies started
up. The United States grew south
ward from Wisconsin and westward
from the Blue Ridge. An early view
OF the country would have showed a
large island which is now northern
Wisconsin, and a long thin tongue of
this primitive rock sticking down from
Canada into Minnesota, and these two

STATEMENT BY
WALTER F. FREAR,
GOVERNOR OF HAWAII

Mr.. Frear-I have carefully exam
ined the aforementioned bills and
am of the opinion that they should
be enacted by Congress with the
amendment that has been made or
proposed in committee. These are
comparatively small communities,
and electric light and power service
will be of great benefit to them. The
franchises are of no very great value,
They are neither exclusive nor per-
petual, and their exercise is carefully
guarded by the provisions of the bills,
1t is fortunate that companies are
willing to take the risk OF putting in
the necessary plant and supplying
light and power.
