LAND BLESSED BY NATURE
Inhabitants of Small Italian Fishing
Village Are Among the Fortu-
nate of the Earth.

One of the oldest and quaintest lit
tie Independent states that ever ex-
listed in Europe-the tiny Republic OF
Noli, founded before Rome and main
tanning it's liberty for many centuries
until Napoleon swept away its priv
ileges-is today merely fishing vii
lage near Genoa, but it is full OF re-
minders of it's former greatness, and
affords a wonderful glimpse OF medic
val times. Destroyed by the Cartha-
ginians in 217 B. c., and who KNOWS
now often by subsequent marauders,
there seemed no limit to her powers
of recovery. This quaint little fishing
village maintained itself as a SOW
ereign state for centuries, took prom
inent part in the quarrels of Guelphs
and Ghibellines, sent doughty warriors
to the Crusades, commanded the in
terest of emperors and popes, and
only succumbed at last to the armies
of Napoleon. Dante clambered hither
over terrible hills on hands and
knees, and revenged himself by con-
signing Noli to his "Purgatory.'
Everybody is rich in this poor mans
paradise, says the Wide World Maya
zine. During the anchovy months it is
not rare for the 120 boats to earn
$500 pounds in a night, or s15,0O0
in a season Through fish alone a
man earns far more than clerk, be-
sides which he has no appearances"
to keep up. Under these happy condi-
lions he soon acquires lands and
houses, which afford a steady revenue

here has only to be scratched in order

Dinocrates of Rhodes, architect and
friend to the famous Macedonian, laid
out Alexandria. He planned the city
as an affair of right angles and sharp
corners, including the whole in a
parallelogram quadrisected by two
main thoroughfares. This regularity
of city-plan that Dinocrates developed
was the beginning of the school of
gridiron city-building, of the imper-
sonal, strictly business city only now
waning in popularity.
battle-ground Of West and East.
The exotic Grecian city was bat
tleground from the start. The East
and the West met and fought out their
differences to a finish there. Greek

tagonized and finally blended with the
PHILOSOPHERS of the East. Christianity
and Plagiarism fought some Of their
most bitter battles there; and the
Jews, the Christians, the Pantheists
and the philosophers fomented many
bloody riots, in which the tickle, viO-
lent, loot-hungry Alexandrian mob
ragged in unforgettable religious tu-
mults. In one such tumult the sur
passingly beautiful pagan priestess
Hypatia was torn to pieces to glut
british populace.
The famous Alexandrian library was
the bridge between the culture OF
classic Greece and the cultural needs
of early Christian and Mohammedan
Europe. Much of it's treasures filtered
through to the Moor and to the Chris
tians through the scholarship of Rome.
The library was destroyed in the war
ligion from the desert; and the burn
ing of the great book-treasury has
been keenly deplored by scholars of
each generation succeeding.
In the latter years of the eighteenth
century p. the city was held by the
small village under centuries of Mo.
hammedan misrule, having popula-
ton Of less than 1000. Under Mo-
hamet Ali, the wise and cunning Al
bantam, it regained much of it's pros
perity. English control of the citys
as we'll as Egypt's welfare dates from
1882, since which date new city has
been developed and one that bears a
greater degree of relationship to the
West than to the East.

In the course Of few years its

much of the commerce from the Orient

this commerce will be carried all the

points.
Center Of Big Fishing Industry.
Prince Rupert will be one Of the
factors to be reckoned with in the
business life Of the continent. One OF
the great sources of wealth already
tapped is the fishing industry. Mil
lions of pounds Of halibut are taken
each month from the neighborlng wa
ters, and a remarkable fact is that this
fish is being eaten in the English sea
coast cities which have been deprived
of their fish supply through the SUD-
marine perils of the North sea. Hun
dreds of carloads of this Prince Ru-
pert halibut are moved in refrigerator
cars, and the fish is in perfect condl
ton when it reaches the consumers
tables nearly six thousand miles away
from the waters where it was caught.

Prince Rupert is right in the patti
of the Chinook winds, warmed by the
Japanese current. There IS much fine
soft rain during the spring, but the
winters have compromising mildness.
and throughout the cold months the
steamers from Seattle, Vancouver and
Victoria go in and out the port, car
rying passengers and cargo, and sail
through sheltered waters far removed
from the menace of floating ice.
Canada is proud of her new Pacific
gateway, and the work done by the
Prince Rupert pioneers Is among the
most notable achievements in city
building of which this continent has
record.

European quarter, is sOlidly built and

and Lake Mareotis. The Rosetta
mouth of the Nile lies more than thirty
miles to tho east. Cairo, the interior
metropolis, lies 1923 miles by rail to
the southeast, and the Suez canal is
more than 40 miles to the east. The
city is linked by a network of railway

of Egypt, and is in telephone connec-

Alexandria is the counting house

there, too, are located the head offices

in normal times, is about $24O,OOO,OOO
year. The western harbor, designed
for a modern, frst-rank commerce, is
visited annually by 5000 vessels. The
chief articles of export are grain, cot

business is largely in the hands of
Europeans, Of whom there are $4,000

InoersoII's Tribute to Women.

lnqersoII's Tribute to Women.
Ingerson paid the following tribute
to women in his lecture on Shakes
peare: In those days little attention
was given to the biographies of wom-
en-. They were born, married, had
children and died. No matter how
celebrated their sons became, the
mothers were forgotten. In old times,
when a man achieved distinction,
great pains were taken to find out
about his father and grandfather, the
idea being that genius is inherited
from the fathers side. The truth is
that all great men have had great
mothers"

us keep this little word always in

railway man, aided by shipload OF
high explosives and a lavish expendi-
ture of money, brought it into being
with the same surprising rapidity with
which the stage magician produces
rabbit from his hat.
The writer, with a hundred other
Americans and Canadians, first heard
of the city's existence one spring DAY
a half dozen years ago. The Austrian
ian mail boat Makura, after record

N. S. W., was proudly nosing her way

the line with men and materials. Inc
men we're bound north to make the
first blasts in the work Of removing
mountain of rock for the site OF the
new city. which was to be the western
terminal of Canada's newest trans
continental railway, the Grand Trunk
Pacific. Vancouver and Seattle were
agog with the news-a new sea port
on the north coast of British Columbia,
within q few miles of the Alaskan bor-
der.
Today, where less than seven years
ago the first white man set his foot,
there is bustling community OF 6,ooo
people living and working in fine thor
oughfares overlooking great natural
harbor, which is in the center of the
worlds richest fishing grounds.

A few weeks ago, without any
furore, the Prince Rupert people
watched the steamer Delhi, salvaged
from the Alaskan coast, brought into
harbor and placed in dry dock. This
marked the opening for business or

enterprise such as this that spells sure
prosperity for this northern port.
Cities which have been earning a
livelihood for centuries from the thou
sands of ocean carriers would be proud
to own such facilities as this great
floating dry dock.
This faith which moves mountains
to make place for town sites and
spends millions on a single machine is
making Prince Rupert famous, and the
faith of it's people is justified. They
