So many men and so much money left
Victoria for Vancouver in 1910 that Vic
toria was forced, in self-defense, to adopt
the single tax for city purposes, which
she did by a vote of five to one i'll Janu-
uary, 1911.
The effect was magical.
In April, 1911, Victoria S building per-
mits were S29O, 10 against S192, ,44O in
April, 1910.
In August, 1911, this had grown to
S429, $50, against SIP, S14 in August the
year before.
In November, 1911, it reached SOLO, =
CPS, against So, ,295 in November, 1910,
while Seattle's buildings fell off from
81, ,O2O, ,235 in November, 1910, to S449, -
los in November. 1911, although Seat
ties population is about seven times that
of Victoria.

WILL SOME REPUBLI-
CAN ANSWER!

The woolen trust is the most highly
protected of all trusts. 1t makes millions
of dollars annually in profits on stock
that is watered until it is soggy, and it is
the same trust which refuses steadfastly
to listen to the plea of its men for a con-
ference to talk over wage differences.
Query: Since the protectionists de-
clared that Schedule X, which places a
heavy tax on every article of woolen
clothing sold in the United States was
passed solely to protect the workers
in the woolen industry, and since these
workers are receiving absolutely no pro-
lection whatever, why should the Amer
lean people longer tolerate Schedule K ?

A SAMPLE OF THE
SINGLE TAX

In January, 1910, Vancouver adopted
the single tax for local purposes The
first place to feel the effect of competi-
ton with it was Victoria the capital of
British Columbia. Other cities soon felt
it also, and in spite of protective tariffs
cities in the United States ON the Pacific
slope, including Seattle, found them

new invention, and the powder charge
was limited to fifteen pounds for a
one hundred and eighty pound shot.
On the other hand, the Merrimac had
made record and proved invulner-
able.
The lilliputian steamed into Hamp-
ton Roads on the morning of March o.
The astounded spectators called her a
cheese box on a plank" Worden lay
quietly beside the wooden Minnesota,
while the Merrimac steamed up to
serve the latter as she had served the
Congress and Cumberland the day be
fore. Under cover of the smoke, the
Merrimac and Minnesota being engag-
ed, the new champion rushed into the
pathway of the ram like terrier dis
putting a mastiff Captain Howard,
who piloted the Monitor in that fight,
says: I'VE turned this way and that,
firing about every seven minutes. We
kept moving about the Merrimac and
getting in good shots at every fire.
The vessels were often not more than
fifty feet apart Captain Tucker, one
of the officers on the ram, says that
the N'arrimar. "worried by the nag
ging of a bull terrier, wanted to eaten
him by the throat and with one shake
drop his corpse" But there was no
death shake that morning for the little
ironclad. Says Captain Howard: "The
shots Of the Merrimac made great
dents in the monitors plate, but did
not go through it. Our guns tore the
iron of the Merrimac, and had we un-
derstood her construction we might
have sunk her. We should have aim
ed for her below the water line. Her
iron plate did not extend much below
this"

workings with sand, so that the mines
may become once more part Of the

of the ci.cus here on Monday,

1t is understood that the circus
will disband here and that after
packing up the paraphernalia
will be shipped to Bridgeport,
Conn.,, where the circus main
tains winter headquarters. The
performers will go to their homes
in different parts of the country.
This will be quite an advertise

have representatives here to Sc

ICE PLANT INSTALLED BY
THE GILMER HOTEL COMPANY
Machine With Capacity Of Three
Tons a Day Will Soon be
Put in Operation

The work Of installing the pri-
vate ice plant at the Gilmer Hotel
has been practically completed
and the first batch of ice will
probably be made today or to-
morrow.
The plant was purchased from
the Union Refrigerator and Ice
Machine Company Of Kenesha,
Wis. and was installed by Mr..
F. M. McGuskin, a representa-.
tive of that concern. 1t is loca-
ted on the first floor of the Gil
mer Hotel building in room ad-
joining that occupied by the
electric light plant, and this
plant will furnish power for the
operation of the ice machine.
The plant has capacity OF three
tons of ice per day and this will
more than supply the needs Of
the hotel.
The Gilmer Hotel Company de-
serves a great deal of credit for
enterprise displayed in the in
stalation of this plant. Few
Hotels in towns the size of Co
lumbus make their own ice, and
the fact that the Gilmer is to do
so shows that the management is
thoroughly abreast with the
times.

ROOT COTTON FOUND IN ORIENT

An interesting new tropical prod
uct Is the "root cotton" described BY
s. Kusano, a japanese botanist. II
Is a fbrous covering Of the roots OF
Fagara integrifoliola, an abundant
plant Of the Philippines, and espe-
cially Of Botel Tobago, an island
near Formosa. The substance seems
to be a kind Of cork tissue, resem-
bling the ordinary cork developed
on the bark OF trees. The fbers, OF
light straw color and silky luster,
are very fine, soft, and weak, and are
easily pulverized to a waxy powder,
They are less Microscopic than ordi.
nary cotton, having remarkable re-
sistance to wetting by water. In
Botel Tobago the natives use the root
cotton for calking boats, and in the
Philippines it is employed for such
purposes as stuflng pillows. Not
least Of the advantages Of this mate
rial as a possible article Of commerce
is the fact that ii can be removed
without injury to the roots, thus
making cultivation simple.

APPROPRIATION FOR
TOMBIGBEE IN SIGHT
GAMBLER IS VERY HOPEFUL
Believes That Prospects for Sc
curing Appropriation for the
Tombigbee River are
Most Encouraging

Hon. f. S. Gambler, Jr.. who
was here last Monday and de.
hvered a speech at the court
house is very much encouraged
at the prospects for securing an
appropriation for the improve.
ment of the TOmbigbee river.
As is well known to the people
of Columbus and surrounding
country, Mr.. Cardler has worked
very hard to secure this appro-
priation and has kept the propo-
sition so continuously before the
house that he is generally known
as 'Tombigbee Can dler." Mr..
Gambler is not only sanguine re-
garding the securing of the ap-
preparation for the improvement
of the Tombigbee, between this
city and Demopolis, Ala. but, be-
lieves the plan to connect the
Tombigbee and Tennessee rivers
to be entirely practicable.
While in the city Mr.. Gambler
had a conversation with Col. Jno
P. Mayo. president of the Tom
bigbee River Improvement Asso-
citation. in which he declared
that the plan to connect the Tom
bigbee with the Tennessee is not
only practicable, but prevents
few obstacles to modern en-
gineering' 1t is his purpose to
do everything in his power to
secure a large appropriation as
soon as a favorable report comes
in. He has been assured by
Hon. J. M. Sparkman. chairman
of the Rivers and Harbors Com.
mittee, that the Tombigbee, can
get all she needs to complete the
second section to Columbus, ant
probably an extension through
to the Tennessee river will bt
undertaken later.
This is indeed encouraging
news to the people of Columbus
as the Improvement of the Tom
bigbee river is most important
undertaking and will result in
making this city one of the mos
important commercial centers il
the state.
