ISLANDS HAVE

GREATEST DEVELOPMENT Is II
PORTO RICO

Washington, D. c., Jan 15.-Num-
erous islands which have come into
possession Of the United States have
greatly prospered under the new adj
ministration. according to a report by
the National Geographic society just
issued. There are 5000 islands under
American rule, and they support a
population of ten million persons;
their commerce exceeds S3O0,0O0,OOO;
American capital invested in them is
about $4OO,OO0,OOO and their COM
merce with the United States amounts
to about 100000 900, with the bal
ance of trade about equal.
In Porto Rico.
FIFTEEN years ago, says the report.
when Porto Rico came under the
American flag, there was only on
building on the island erected TO"
school purposes. Today there are
1900 such buildings and 175,OOO pu-
pills are enrolled The islands COM
merce has been multiplied five times
until it amounts to nearly 100000
coo. The report tells of similar prog
ress in Hawaii.
'The Alaskan islands and main
land" says the report, cost us ST.
100000, an expenditure that MANY
believed to be quite unjustifable, yet
for many years the annual value Of
the canned salmon sent us from
Alaska in a single year is twice as
much as the entire possession cost

DREDGING RIVER CHANNEL.
Georgetown Route Will Require
More Than Expected.

Steady progress is being made by the
Dredge Dewey in deepening the George
town channel between the Highway
bridge and the Georgetown wharves,
and SO far about eight -ninths of the
work to be done under the original
contract has been completed. The
original contract calls for excavating
and pumping ashore of 49, 900 yards of
material, but it has been found that to
give the channel depth Of twenty-one
feet to the Georgetown wharves it will
be necessary to dig over 100000 cubic
yards more of mud and sand.
Though the dredge has been working
steadily for four months, she is still a
quarter mile or farther from where
dredging operations are to stop. 1t is
said that the fill III the channel abreast
the foot of 18th street was found to
he heavier than was anticipated
The Dewey will be on the work for
about two months longer if she is not
prevented from working by the forma-
tion of heavy ice.
1t is understood it will be spring be-
fore dredging operations in the Eastern
branch. for which contracts have been
let, will be started.

The TriAer.

The man who loafs the hours

his pay, full soon his job will lose
ere long his boss will rise in
wrath, and chase him down the
garden path, and pat him with
his shoes. The poor are with
us all the time, according to a
book sublime; we need not Won
der why; so many dodge all kinds
OF work, and loaf and lounge, and
fool and shirk, and let each chance
go by. So many will not try to
earn the coin they're drawing in
return for hours they fool away !;
so many see their bosses swamp
ed, yet don't endeavor to be
prompt except when drawing
pay. The trif1ing, inefficient lay,
who goes his bootless. futile way.
across the modern stage-he is
the human races jinx, he IS the
riddle OF the Sphinx, the problem
OF the age As thick as sands be-
side the sea, or as the dogs upon
a flea, we see him everywhere; !;
the more we muse and contem-
plate this human puzzle and his
fate, the greater our despair.
And while we muse, the men who
toll must pay to make the ket-

strive; must buy his coffin when
he's dead. and see his bowling
