TOURISTS WILL BE
REFUSED LANDING
SOUND TOURIST CANNOT GO
Ashore AT VICTORIA

Local Agent Tibbals, of the Inland
Navigation company, yesterday re.
ceived circular that will not meet
with the approval of large number of
excursions from Puget Sound to points
in British Columbia who will not be
allowed to leave the steamer while
the vessels remains at the dock at
Victoria. The order was made by the
dominion government immigration au.
thorities, who are enforcing to the
letter recent regulation barring all
classes of laborers, and as the immi.
grafton officers have no means of dis.
tirguishing laborer from a tourist,
and acting on the belief that laborers
might disguise themselves as tourists
and after leaving the steamer to see
the sights, neglect to return.
The officers on the Iroquois report
that a resident of Port Angeles, who
ownes property in the British Colum-
bia city attempted to go ashore to
look after his property, but was re.
fused by the immigration officers.
Later he went to Seattle and boarded
a British steamer, after he had ex-
planned to the British immigration of.
'ficer who examines passengers before
they board a steamer and was told
that he would be allowed to visit that
city. On arriving at Victoria, he was
again turned back
Under the new regulation, it is now
hard matter to get into Victoria. The
merchants of that city are loud ia
their protests, as each year they do a
big business with tourists from the
Sound, and if the law continues to be
enforced, this trade will be lost to
them.

THE SECRET

Sweet little pansy with face so fair,
Always wearing smile,
What are the pleasant thoughts you
Which make you so happy the
while?"
Il feel the caress of the warm south
breeze,
And the sun with it's ardent kiss,
And think with it's butterflies, brides
and bees,
What beautiful world is this
"But poor little pansy, when winter
comes,
And has covered the ground with
white,
You peep from your bed in the cold,
cold earth,
And still remain smiling and
bright"
Il know that adversely never can
last,
And that, though for while it may
rain,
The clouds viii soon pass and the sun
shine forth,
And all will be pleasant again"
wise little pansy, then tell me this:
Why do all like you so we'll?
How do you make all the world your
friend?"

SCRAP TIN SHIPPED TO
EUROPE COMES Ne: 5. BACK

Representing one of the economies
by which modern industry seeks to
prevent any loss, eighty-fye tons Of
scrap tin will be loaded this week by
the Blue Funnel liner Cycloys in Sc
attle for Antwerp. The scrap tin
comes from a can factory at Belling-
ham. At Antwerp the larger pieces
will be set aside for use in manufac-
turing German toys. The rest of the
shipment will be sent to plants where
the tin will be sweated from the iron
with which it is now mixed. The
iron will be used in making window
weights and the tin will be shipped
back here in pigs to be sold again to
the can factories. 1t even is possible
that Seattle may get some of the win
dow weights and German toys to be
extracted from the Bellingham ship
ment.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO

after wading continuously through

passing through gentle zephr in
Chicago that, in it's velocity of eighty
miles an hour, smashed in windows
and swept away small buildings, one
reaches Western Washington with the
thought tina! he is entering the Gar
den of Eden.
So declared David Whitcomb, a local
attorney and manager of the Arcade
Building and Realty Company, who
reached the city yesterday from a
seven weeks trip through the East.
He stopped at Denver and Pueblo,
where he has business interests and
visited Washington, New York, Bos'
ton and Chicago. While in the East
he endeavored to have the Eastern
newspapers publish the weather con-
ditions in Seattle in their daily re.
ports.

eff those people ever encountered
any real good weather." he said, "they
wouldn't know what to do with it. The
papers of Boston publish the weather
report from San Diego; Chicago news
papers quote the climatic conditions
at Walla Walla and Spokane, and the
Washington newspapers publish the
climatic conditions at Portland, Seat.
attic is quietly ignored"
In viewing the political situation at
close hand, Mr. Whitcomb found that
the effort to GUST the public utilities
companies in Denver is creating chaos
to the detriment of all classes, and
that, despite the trouble at the neigh
boring mines, Pueblo is the most pros
porous city in Colorado.
"In the East" said Mr.. Whitcomb.
money is nominally easy, but decid-
edly scary. The shrinkage of $50,000,-
900 in dividends and securities, held
very largely in the East, has caused a
widespread feeling of financial alarm.

POTATO STARCH AND
POTATO ALCOHOL

We are producing today an average
of twenty million pounds of potato
starch annually, and have made large
importations from Germany besides.
This potato starch is preferred in
this country to corn starch for sizing
in cotton mills. Economic improve
ments in the introduction of new fac
tory methods and increasing the guam
tity of potatoes used should make this
industry a more satisfactory one. At
present, the margin of profit is not
large. Even with protective tariff
of l cent a pound. Factories are
able to run only six weeks in the year
which makes the interest and other
overhead charges high. The manu-
1acture is now confined to the utiliza-
tion of culls and of potatoes partially
infected with tuber-rot. There is a
possibility that a method may be
worked out for the drying of culls
duu ouI plus pOtoCOCS On tuO AaA IL w
fore used for starch making.
The manufacture of alcohol from
potatoes has not yet become estab-
lished in the United States, as the
price of potatoes marketable for other
purposes has been too high. How
ever, this method might well help
take care of a surplus crop, II such
a surplus were produced in this coun-
try.
In Germany the price of potatoes
for distilling, between 1906 and 1910,
averaged 1873 cents per bushel. An
indirect benefit from the manufacture
of potato alcohol is the feeding value
of the mash left after distillation.
With the rapid increase in the use OF
direct-combustion engines for automo-
biles and other purposes and the de-
crease of our present supply of petrol
cum, it may soon come about that the
manufacture of potato alcohol will be
a paying industry.
While these uses for surplus po-
tatoes are not perhaps Immediately
practicable, the fact that Germany
has discovered them should assure
