Admiral Ransford ID. Buchanan.
Familiarity known as Bucknam Pasha,
vice admiral of the Turkish navy and
chief adviser to the former Sultan Alb
dull Hamid, was born in Transport, Nova
Scotia. Jan 2, 1869. Both his parents
were lost at sea and his own life reads
like a sea novel His earliest youth
was spent with his grandparents in
Manitoba, but while still a boy he took
up life on the great lakes. Longing
for more extensive travels. he went to
Boston and shipped on an Australian
racket After a shipwreck and numer-
Gus other adventures he returned sew
eral years later to the United States
and became master of a steamship ION
the great lakes. But he again tired of
this berth and proceeded to San Fran
cisco. where he accepted position as
CAPTAIN of a Pacific liner. When the
Pacific it was to enter the employ OF
the Cramps at Philadelphia Here he
was assigned to deliver a ship

Bishops are conservative. Their

TEN YEARS.

Cheer up, there's no telling what
you may be in 1923,
1t seems but a short time since
January, 1903. Yet it is ten years
since then.
The decade just passed has brought
out into the limelight many who
were obscure or comparatively so at
the beginning of 1908.
Mr.. Taft was Philippine COM

DON'T FORGET OUR CALUMET.

According to a Washington dis
patch, Congressman James r. Mann
of Chicago. will troduce a bill In the
house authorizing the construction of
q turning basin in the Grand Calumet
river at One Hundred and Sixteenth
street, and the abandonment of the
old channel of the stream as far as
The plan, according to the dispatch,
is to have the old river bed turned
over to the abutting property owners
in exchange for land that will be
used for the turning basin. He will
ask also for a survey of the Little
Calumet river as far as Blue Island
with a view of improving the chan
mel to a width of 200 feet
Congressman Mann, although Of
another state is looked upon as a
friend of the whole Calumet region.
We hope his bill may find favor,
eventually. In the meantime we
would suggest that it is about time
for the various committees in con-

of this nature, to look upon the

advocate of g-in-the-manger
politics.; we realize that the prac-

on the Indiana side depends to some
extent on the improvement IN the
neighboring state, but why draw a
state line in matter of federal in

elected and upon their second term,
they had increased their membership
to about as.
The members during this term be-

officers when success seems assured,
reelected the c. Commander for a
third term. The Booster Campaign
was inaugurated and each and every
member took up the spirit with the
result that during this term its mem
