Panhandle Goes Ahead

Notable industrial progress is ound in the quantity of merchandise imported from the States. The i'm 'orts of Southeastern Alaska were alued at $l1,075,532, showing an in reaSe of two millions of dollars over he value of the imports of 1911 and ei2, and six millions of dollars over h value of the imports in 1910 and 9ll. Southeastern Alaska is shown have advanced over all other divis- ms of the Territory.
 The report claims this feature in ha following language:
 "The divisions where the great god placers are located have met gith the natural decline due to the 'xhaustion of the more easily exploie- ,d deposits.
 Approximately three thousand more seople came to Alaska from the United States and British Columbia, 1911, than in 1919, as compared to 1000 more departures from tine ter. tory during the previous year. The 'annery workers who comprise the floating population, are not in- luded in the report. which gives the figures added stability.
 In the domestic trade s05 vessels, If 8 total tonnage of 5l5,2S3, entered Alaskaduring the year 1911, as com pared with s0l2 vessels ad a tonnage f 493,066 in 1913, of these 736 enter ed at Ketchikan.
 In the foerign trade 37S vessels en- cred, with a total tonnage of 1s2,- l03. By comparison the domestic ,rade exceeded the foreign trade by 2s4 per cent.

LOVES MIsCHANCE
BY VICTOR RADCLIFFE.

The love romance of Beulah Arnold
and Ellis Truman belonged essentially
and particularly to Grove Hollow.
Given a handsome young woman Of
twenty-five, left quite a competency,
and retiring, but intelligent bachelor
FIVE years her senior, having perma-
nent income and business, and the con,
junction seemed ideal.
Right In the midst of 1t, however,
there came q clash, a crisis, a catas-
trpohe. One morning all the town
knew of tentative engagement. An
other morning, one week later to a
day, the gossips were aware that
Cupid had departed from among the
reckonings of the parties noted.
There were many explanations as
to the source and cause of the unex-
pected break. Finally the truth came
out. 1t was Widow Marsh, authority
in anything appertaining to anybody
else's business, who oracularly made
the statement.
1T was a collar button!"
She was right. Beulah was dainty,
neat and rather dictatorial. A lone
ly life with an invalid uncle had
robbed her of q good deal of the nat
ural bloom of girlhood. Ellis was In
dulgent. but Jealous of his dignity.
He resented familiarity and affront,
even with his chosen friends.
Beulah had some special out of
town company one evening, and she
was anxious that her fiance should
make favorable impression. 1t proved
to be rainy warm night, and when
Ellis reached the Arnold home he was
pretty well mud splashed. For that
there was an excuse. But his collar

Soda Water or Missions.

Last summer man in an American
city read the statement In a mission
airy magazine that ten cents would buy
either glass of ice cream soda or pay
the rent for one Sunday of a room in
which thirty children from the street
are gathered each week for Sunday
school in India. Whereupon he wrote
to the editor letter in which he COM
planned that his peace of mind had
been greatly disturbed. "Just think,
he said, what this will mean to me
tomorrow, and the next day, and for
days to come will start for a cool
glass of soda water and find in the
bottom Of the glass the faces of thirty
street children of India looking at

In the letter. however, he inclosed
two dollars with the promise of
more) to be credited to the mission

of the gift being, ito restore his peace
of mind for a couple of weeks at
least"

plain, something like an American

In area, Rome being near it's center.

The trouble with the Campagna
arises from its being underlaid by a
bed of stone impervious to water. The
spring rains fill the soil, a vast guam

lated, and tine summer sun evaporates
this foul water, filing the air with
malaria of the most deadly sort.
The ancient Romans knew the dam

drains; but the moderns suffered the
drains to become choked, and the

TRAVELS ON LAND OR WATER
"AmphIblous" Motor Boat, Invention
Of Austrian, Seems to Have Been
Proved a Success.

A number of people have been work
ing of late years to solve the problem
of constructing vehicle capable of
travelling upon both land and water
More than one has had some degree of
success, but none is better, perhaps,
than that invented by viennese engi-
neer named l.. Zeiner.
This land motor boat" resembles an
ordinary touring car in appearance ex-
cept that the body is rather higher.
But besides its wheels, 1t Is provided
with a propeller placed at the rear
The power Of the motor can be
switched from the running gear to the
propeller screw and vice versa. It is
built so as to take quite steep grades
with ease. Hence one may ride down
the sloping bank of river, plunge into
the current, switch the power to the
propeller and cross the stream in a
practicable motor boat. Arriving at
the other side, the engine is switched
to put the wheels in commission once
more, the bank Is easily climbed, and
the journey continued without more
ado.
The vehicle has made good under
practical tests and is expected to be
particularly valuable for military use.
1t is so built as to go well in swampy
and muddy country. In shallow water
wheels and propeller may be used 81
multaneously; this is a particular adj
vantage when a sand bank is acciden-
tally encountered in a stream, since 1t
removes the danger of getting stuck"
The power is supplied by 16-horse
power, four-cylinder motor which gives
speed on land of As miles per hour.
This speed is diminished in water to
about twelve miles per hour-Literary

PARIsIANs IN SOBER MOOD
War Has Wrought an Immense Change
In the Life of the "Gay
Capital"

Many of the leading French artists"
says a writer in Cartoons Magazine,
ARE at the front, painting war as 1t is.
Others have remained at home to por-
tray little incidents of Paris. Among
the latter is L. Sabattier, for many
years cartoonist of LIE Figaro, and who
is remembered for his broad, sweeping
style in crayon.
Perhaps the most notable of his
recent drawings is Les Matinales'-
the early morning wanderers of the
Paris streets in war times. In the
small hours Of the long night they
pass by, these women, as unnoticed as
the good angels that guard US against
