The Department recognizes the

refrain from interfering with this in

CENSUS INCREASE sHRINks.
Cumulative Reports Show Gain of
I4,9 Per Cent in Decade.

Washington-The census recapitula-
tion bulletin issued Thursday gives the
names of states and cities for which
the census returns have been published
up to October 20.
The states are Rhode Island, Michi-
gan, Missouri, New Mexico, Della
ware, Vermont and Massachusetts.
Their aggregate population was 10,-
$685. 272, an increase of 14.9 per cent
as against an increase of 1871 per cent
during the decade previous.
Forty three cities of more than
100, 600 population and 159 cities of
between 25, 900 and 100000 are Civ
en-.
Commenting upon the facts present
ed, the bulletin says:
"With the data for both groups of
cities approaching completeness, it is
notable that the smaller cities as a
group seemed to have maintained dur
ing the decade of 1900 to 1910 rate
of growth considerably above that
maintained by the larger cities, the
rate for the aggregate population of
the smaller cities being 1878 per cent
and that for the larger 30.1.
"In the decade of 1890 to 1900 the
increase of the smaller cities in the
aggregate was 1872 per cent and the
larger 1921 per cent.
"The returns for all of the cities
which in 1900 were in the 100, 900 and
over class have been received, except
form Los Angeles, San Francisco. Min
and Memphis. Seattle,
Wash, which will go into the 100, 900
and over class. had not reached that
figure ten years ago.

Preserving Ginger in China.

The United States buys practically
all its preserved ginger from China,
800 900 pounds imported annually
having an invoiced unit value of six
and one-half cents, on which a duty
of one cent a pound and 35 per cent.
ad valorem is levied. AS one-half OF
the supply of preserved ginger comes
from Hong Kong. the following re-
port by Vice Consul General Stuart J..
Fuller will be of interest:
The preserving of ginger is en-.
tirely in the hands Of the Chinese,
and the ginger manufactured in Hong
Kong is famous over the world. Tai
Loong, Man Loong and Sun Sing ope-
rate the largest plants. The raw gin
ger is brought into the colony from
the southern provinces of China, clean
ed and soaked, and then mixed with
sugar and boiled. After this 1t is
kept in casks for a number of days
until ready for packing 1t is ship
ped in bulk in casks and also packed
in Jars, the latter being packed so
many to the case or to the barrel A
similar mode of procedure is followed
In preparing Chinese chow-chow, or
fruit with a ginger base;
but In the case Of the latter the fruit
must be stoned as well as cleaned"

PEARY is NOT AT WORK.
Ten Years Leave of Absence From
Navy Has Expired.

Washington-Although his absence
has expired, Captain Robert E. Peary,
the Arctic explorer, did not report for
duty as civil engineer in the navy.
Acting Secretary Winthrop said that it
had not yet been decided to what work
Captain Peary would be assigned.
Captain Peary has been on leave of
absence for ten years under. an under
standing that he was to devote his
time to Arctic explorations. He has
not applied for further extension, and
it is assumed by the Navy department
that he is now ready to return to ac.
tive duty. He was recently promoted
to the rank of captain through the
retirement of senior officer.
Department officials have unearthed
and old history in which the claim is
made that the North Pole was discov-
cred in 1860 by friar of Oxford. 1t
is called "a New Naval History, or
Complete Review of the British Ma
rine," ard was published by John
Entick in London, 1857. On one of its
musty pages the following paragraph
appears:
In the year 1860 it is recorded that
a friar of Oxford, called Nicholas De-
Lima, Of Lynn, being a good astron-
omer, went in company with others to
the most northern island of the world,
and there, leaving his company to-
gether, he Travelled alone and made
draughts of all those northern parts
with the indrawing seas, which, at his
return, he presented to the king of
England. 1t is added that he went to
the North Pole by his skill in magic,
or the black art; but this magic black
art may probably have been nothing
more than a knowledge Of the magnet
ical needle or compass, found out about
so years before, though not in common
use until many years later"

SWEETHEARTS OF '65 WE'D.
Woman's Psychic "Hunch" Results in
Finding of Playmate.

Los Angeles, Cal. - There months
ago Mrs. L. A. Robinson, a prominent
local club woman and long a widow,
began to think deeply of F. ]. Ford
ham, sweetheart of her girlhood, and
of whom she had not heard for As
years. The thought brought an in
tense longing to see him, and of the
wish was born a "hunch" that she
could find him by going to Brooklyn.
She went. The result was an almost
unexampled romance.
The second day after she reached the
eastern city Mrs. Robinson met her
first love, now an old man, on the
street, and they instinctively recog-
nized each other.
Precisely as in her case, life had
brought and death had taken the mate
of Fordham leaving him free and his
memory had been bringing up visions
of the woman he had adored as little
girl. Now the announcement is re-
ceived here that they will be married
in Brooklyn in December at the home
Of Mrs. Robinson's daughter.

$4,000, 900 FIRE AT VICTORIA.
Whole Block Destroyed, Waterfront
Threatened, Phones All Out.

Victoria, B. C.-Oct 27.-Driven by
high wind, fire tonight threatens the
entire business section of the city.
Several prominent buildings in the
heart of the city have already been
destroyed and many others, it is
feared, will go.
The Five Sisters block, one of the
largest Office buildings in the city,
standing on the corner of Fort and
Government streets, was completely
wiped out. The telephone service has
been given up, the poles which lead
out of the central office, across the
road from the burning section, having
been burned down. Several yachts in
the harbor are burning, the huge
sparks which blew over into the harbor
igniting them.
The entire force of the local militia
and the garrison from Esquimalt has
been brought to the city and the sold
iers are assisting the firemeD in fight
ing the flames and the police in keep
ing the crowds in order,
AT l 80 a. m. all hope of saving the
Times building had been abandoned.
The greater portion of the block bound
ed by Government, Fort and Broad
streets and Trounce alley has been
wiped out. The loss, it is now esti-
mated, will approach 50, 900, 900.

FOREST PROTECTION AIM.
Government Departments Will Give
Matter Unusual Attention.

Matter Unusual Attention.
Washington-In view of the enor-
nous damage done by forest fires dur
ing the past summer, the protection
of forests will receive unusual atten-
tion from all government bureaus hav-
ing to do with their control and man.
agement, and congress itself is likely
to take hand. In letter he recently
wrote to Governor Hay, of Washing
ton, Secretary Ballinger made this OBJ
servation:
"a subject of very great Importance
is the prevention and control of forest
fires, both as relates to the public do
main and to state lands; also to the
protection of private interests. My
observation has been that a large per-
centage of forest fires is the result of
fires started by railroad locomotives
passing over the Cascade mountains.
In my travels this summer through
California, l was impressed with the
fact that railroads using oil for fuel in
their locomotives are free from criti-
cism in this respect.
II do not believe that the installa-
tion of spark -arresters will accomplish
any beneficial result, but the railroads
should be required to clean up their
rights of way so as to prevent the re-
currence of fires from this source, and
until SO prepared, should be compelled
to maintain sufficient patrol to ex-
tinguish fires set by locomotives, and
also should be required to burn the
at seasonable periods under
state supervision. The numbering in
terests in our state ought to be keenly
in progressive legislation
along this line."

Col. Alexander Burlington of the
suburban village Of Granville, was a
terror He had been retired on half
pay, and he blamed the United States
for not retaining him ten years
longer. AS the postmaster was the
only representative OF the United
States at hand, the colonel made 1t a
practise to go to the office once a
day and tell him what he thought of
his old government.
The colonel was terror to such of
MS neighbors as kept a dog or
chickens. He was terror to the
mayor and aldermen Of the village.
He would stand at his gate and shake
his fist at speeding autoists: he
would thunder at a tramp in a way
70 make the poor fellow wish he had
perished in the California earth
quake; he would insist on telling war
stories to callers, and If they did not
shiver he had no further use for them.
People used to whisper that they
felt pity for the colonels wife, and
more than pity for his daughter. Miss
Mamie, and yet, queerly enough,
those were the only two people for
miles around who were not afraid of
him. He clustered around home,
and almost daily threatened to dis
charge the cook, and to lead a riot
against the United States and many
other things, but neither wife nor
daughter called on the neighbors to
protect them. The daughter simply
said nothing, while the wife stood it
as long as possible and then mildly
observed:
Alexander, If you keep on storm
Ing around and talking so loud you
will end by driving the cat from the
house, and she is one OF the best
mousers we ever had"
Therefore the only fault to be
found with the colonel and his bluff
was the fact that he made young men
afraid Of him, and in SO doing he kept
them away from the house. There
were half a dozen who would have

Fight Made for Values.

Washington - Secretary MacVeagh
had a conference with Assistant Secre-
tary Curtiss and Chairman Emery and
James D. Reynolds, of the tariff board.
Frederick Achenbach, the Treasury de-
partment's confidential agent at Ber-
lin, also was present. The general
subject of undervaluations was dis
cussed. Mr.. MacVeagh expects the
tariff board to be his principal weapon
in the fight for full valuations.
