ISLAND CITIES NEED
 A GAS BOAT GARAGE

DOUGLAS, March 1O-A prominent Alaska citizen, who makes frequent visits between the Island cities, has pointed out to The Empire cores pondent the need of a Yacht club house for the care and housing of gas boats. There are numerous people on either side of the channel who own pleasure boats or who would own them if someone was enterprislng enough to provide Q site and construct a pub lie gas boat garage. where boats might be housed and kept in repair at a stip- ulated monthly rental.
 The suggestion opens up a possible chance for someone to create a nice business which in turn would induce the construction of more boats, which in turn would mean the enlargement of the garage and that would mean more boats. and so on-all same Iowa farmer who wanted more land, raise more hogs, buy more land raise more hogs, etc.

BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE
Increase of the Human Race Seems to
Be Regulated by Wars and
Other Devastations.

Every year, according to scientists
who attempt to keep the, general rec
ords, at least SO,000,000 human beings
are born on this earth and 6O,OO0,0OO
or 100000 die. This indicates a
daily birth rate of about 100000 and
a death rate of 100000. The daily
increase in population therefore is
about 10000. The total population of
the globe is estimated at 100000.
The ravages of war do little to I'M
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the upheavals of nature.
The -Prussian war killed about
10000 in seven months. The death
roll of the Russo-Japanese reached
about 100000. A single earthquake
(1737, in India) has been estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The IA
talities of the Messina earthquake in
1908 cannot have been far short of
100000. A tidal wave in 1895 drowned
$4,000 persons in Japan, causing q
greater loss Of life than the whole
war with China in 1894. The earth
quake in Japan in 1903 is said to have
killed 100000 people. The Lisbon
earthquake in 1855 destroyed $4,000
human lives, while 10000 were lost in
the same year IL earthquakes in Per-
STA.

Value Of the "oId Man."

How about the "old man" and the
apprentice? / have always felt and
contended in my work that the "old
man." as he is slightingly referred to-,
has place in industry. His expert
ence is valuable. He can be used as
trainer and coach. He may not be
fast, but he is sure. He may, on the
other hand, prove to be both skillful
and rapid on certain work. At any
rate, for the sake Of his past services
don't turn him adrift. If he is too old
and cannot work pension him. II he
can work find out what is best for
him to do and give him schedule
with a sufficient allowance added
thereto to justify him in continuing
to do his best. 1t won't cost much, If
anything. The apprentice should also
have an allowance added to his SEIZED
ule that will warrant him In exerting
himself. The apprentice, the average
mechanic and the "old man" will have
different wage rates, SO there is little
likelihood of a clash on account Of
bonus earnings.-Engineering Maya

What Makes a Girl Popular.

Every girl has the perfectly natural
desire to be popular with the other
sex, and every girl is interested in
knowing the secret of such popularity
Some girls have the idea that the way
to have good time Is to break away
from the recognized rules Of social
life. The free-and-easy, reckless type
Of girl may receive good deal of
attention of certain kind, but it is
safe to say that men do not really
care for such girl. Certainly they
do not have any respect for her They
may enjoy a summer Irritation with
her, but such girl never enters seri-
ously into their thoughts. The girl
who is kind and thoughtful to her par
ents is the girl whom they admire
The girl who is disrespectful to her
parents will not long retain the re-
spect of others. Men know very we'll
that a girl who deceives her mother
cannot be trusted. A good daughter
has in her the making of a good wife,
and a man remembers this when he
begins to think seriously Of matri
mony.-Leslie's

ORIGIN Of a Mark Twain story.

OF all the witty things said or writ
ten by Mark Twain no phrase has
been quoted oftener than his reply to
an alarmist report, "Rumor of my
death greatly exaggerated The his
tory of this now celebrated bon mot
will doubtless be Of interest. Mark
Twain was on visit to London some
years ago, and had been secured as
the chief guest at dinner to be
given by a literary club. On the
morning of the day when the dinner
was to take place the secretary was
shocked to hear a rumor that Mark
Twain had died suddenly. At his
wits end, he sought to verify it by a
diplomatic note to Mrs. Clemens, in
which he mentioned the rumor.
Mark Twain got hold Of the note and
telegraphed the now famous reply

A Suhatltute River.

One of the perplexing problems en-
countered by coaches of the various
varsity" racing shell crews, that Of
providing better means for winter
training than is offered by the ordi-
nary rowing machine, has been met
satisfactorily at Syracuse university
through the installation of an indoor
rowing tank, provided with mechani-
cal means for Stimulating the passage
of the boat through the water. This
provides what might almost be called
actual rowing, besides keeping the
men in condition.-Popular Mechanics

Dusneis per acre. All this land ia ex-
cellent for wheat, and very much is
stlil IN the hands of the Dominion
government, and 100 acres of it can
be had by the payment of ten dollar
entry fee.
Another vast area is that held by
railway and reliable land companies.
neid at from $40 to $25 per acre. I'm
proved farms are slightly higher in
price. Information regarding these
lands may be had of any Canadian
Government Agent.
The fact that Canada offers such a
splendid opportunity should be ac-
cepted with a widespread apprecia-
ton, and not met with ATTEMPTS on
the part of some to spread misleading
statements. The Dominion Govern
ment has not taken steps to deny
many OF the false statements circu-
lated by those who evidently are more
interested in injuring Canada than
benefiting those who would be bene-
tited by taking up farms in Canada
but in order to correct a highly err
roneous impression that CONSUMPTION
is carried on in Canada. that compul
sorry military service is employed, and
that there Is restraint as to the move
ment OF those not Canadians, the ne.
cessity Is felt of giving as much pub
llc1ty as possible to a denial of these
statements.
An item to which special exception
is taken is one which says:
They are sending them away as
rapidly as possible; but the young
men are not permitted to leave Can
ada. All the citizens, and those who
have taken out homesteads are subject
to military duty"
In direct REPUTATION of this, we beg
to quote from recent editorial in the
Rochester, N. Y, Herald:
There is no legal process by which
Great Britain can command single
Canadian soldier to enter the field in
her aid or even in her most needful
defense. Great Britain cannot legally
take dollar of Canada's money for
this or any other war without Can
ada's consent. All must be given vol
UNFAIRLY, If it be given at all. Yet
men and dollars are given to the limit
of Canada's power to give, just as If
Great Britain had both physical and
legal power to exact them. Indeed,
it is possible that they are giving
more freely in this way. for what a
man gives because he wants tc give
is likely to be greater than what he
gives under force.
"All in all it is noble picture Of
devotion to her motherland which
Canada offers to the gaze of her ad-
miring and envious neighbors.'
Canada's invitation for immigration
extends to all who are willing to go
on to the farms.
Superintendent of immigration,

our Early Chinese Trade.

The rapid growth Of our early trade
with China is shown by the fact that
the 81 vessels carrying in 1905 nearly
five and three-quarters millions worth
of goods to Canton, represented a
larger fraction of our total foreign
commerce than our trade with the
whole OF China does today. The silver
imported to balance American trade
with China averaged more than two
and half millions annually in the 80
years down to 1927, and reached a
maximum of seven and half mil
