HOWARD EWING RETURNS FROM VACATION AND SAYS
 HEAVY TRAVEL IS COMING

$. Howard Ewing, local agent of the Pacific Coast S. S. Co.,, returned yesterday on the Spokane, after a two.months' visit in the States. Mir Ewing thoroughly enjoyed himself while below but was glad to get home again.
 Regarding transportation matters, Mir. Ewing is highly enthusiastic over the outlook for the coming season, es- pecially the tourist business. He said:
 Transportation men in the East and Central West believe that the Pa. cihc Coast is to become the play ground of the United States. They expect unusually heavy travel both to the Coast and Alaska. the coming season.
 "We are making a strong effort to get pleasure seekers to plan longer stays on the Coast" he said this morn ing. Tourist travel to the Coast last year received a great impetus from the California expositions Usually such expositions are followed by a period of depression. but the trans portation men in the Eastern and Central West States told me to look for great volume of traffic again this year. They said that our Alas ka travel would be fully as heavy as last year. and might be much heavier. All the other playgrounds of the West including the national parks. will draw great crowds.
 Inquiries from Eastern tourist agencies are beginning to come West in a regular food
 "Our own company has been SO im- pressed by the outlook for great vol ume of traffic the coming season that 1t has established its own general agency in Chicago. with W. M. Cline in charge
 "The Pacific Coast S. S. Co.'s pas senger business in 1915 was the larg- est it ever has handled and we ex- pect at least to duplicate the record this year
 The possibility of getting coking coal from Alaska is beginning to re- ceive keen attention. especially among California iron interests. It is be- lleyed that Alaska is destined in cok- ing coal to supply one of the worlds great needs. Alaska's coking coa, will enable the Pacific Coast to develop its iron resources.

GEORGIA FORCED TO ABANDON THE
 TRIP TO SlTKA

Unable to buck the strong head winds the mail steamer Georgia was forced to abandon her regular trip to Sitka and she returned to Juneau yes terday after having been out five days endeavorlng to sneak around Point Retreat during a Hull in the wind.
 Steve York, first mate. who has been in this section for the past 30 years, says the storm was the worst he has seen in the past sixteen years. of course l have seen worse times be- fore, but for the past sixteen years have never seen anything to equal it," he said
 The Georgia left Juneau last Tues day at midnight with passengers, mail and freight for SitlSa and way ports but was unable to pass Tree Point and returned. The crew of the Geor- gia report that when they rounded the south end of Douglas Island the wind was blowing a southeaster, car rying half snow and about half rain, but that within thirty minutes the wind had shifted and was blowing from the north and was bitter cold.
 Tie boat anchored behind Point Hilda for two days and the tempera- ture was 26 below zero. A half day was consumed in chopping ice which had frozen on the Georgia, and the boat anchored between shaol and Tree Points. Capt. Thornton finally reached Shelter Island. but was un- able to get beyond that point and was forced to return from there.
 While lifting the anchor at Point Hnda, Dan Bach, a member of the crew. had his face badly frost bitten. but through prompt action on the part of his crew mates in rubbing snow on the frosted parts, serious compli- cations were avoided. The Georgia will probably sail during the next 24 hours and again try and reach Sitka.

Hoanitalitx In Greece.

Hospitality as understood in the west is not characteristic of the Greeks, who in their own country rare Iy invite friends to their tables In her Greece of the Hellenes'' Miss Lucy Garnets relates how on one Oe- casion she and a friend were invited into the suburbs of Greece by a Gre clan lady who was giving a birthday tea to her young son and his play mates. My share of the entertain ment," says Miss Garnets, consisted in watching the little lions feed, for neither cup of tea nor slice of the birthday cake came my way or the way of my companion, whose hospital ity the hostess herself frequently en- joyed." This apparent niggardliness is, of course, entirely due to the GUS tom of the country. The writer adds that the same hostess on coming to England entertained like the average Briton.-London Chronicle.

CUNnlNCHAM'S ADHERENTS WIN
 AT PRIMARIES
Pull Certificate Gag" on Opponents and Complete
 ly Non-Plus Them.

After a conference today, members of the Kingston-O' Brien faction have decided they will not contest the re- suit of the Republican primary battle in the Sixth district last night. In stead they will devote their energies to getting furniture and opening the club rooms at 1173 North avenue, which they have taken away from the old Republican club. At first some of the workers were disposed to protest to Town Chairman Robinson on the ground that 27 men were al- lowed to vote whose names were not on the primary list.
 In this the Stowe Knapp faction stole a march on their opponents. They had 27 men who had voted at the last election but whose names are not on any primary list apply to the registrars of voters for certificates stating that they were Republicans and desired to be regis tered as such. On such application the registrars are required by Jaw to give certificates that permit them to vote The checking is done of course from last years list on which their names do not appear. The certificates however, cannot be issued to allow a man registered as Dem Ocrat to change to the Republican list or vice versa. An attempt was made to change some Democrats to the Republican list but the registrars of course would not issue certificates.
 The certificates came as a, surprise to the Sixth district workers. This scheme was first worked in the Sec ond district in the Young Republicans fight there after the primary law had been passed. The introduction of the certificates by which the young men carried the district fairly nonp1ussed the old political warhorse, the late Sheriff Peter Doolan.
 Sixth district workers were inclined today to protest the primary on the ground that the use of certificates was irregular but today they learned that the action of the administration fac ton was perfectly within the law.

unixinn the EamilM

How many households have a fam fly hour--a definite time in the week when all the members of the family gather in perfect serenity for an inter val of genuine communion? Although civilization brings many advantages in its train, it has the great fault of tend ing to disrupt family intercourse. Each member has too many individual activ- ities. Fathers have their business; sons, their business or education; moth ers, their domestic duties or social oc- cupa tiohs; daughters, their business, their education or their social life.
 All these things are right and worthy in themselves, but they do not tend to weld the family. If members of a fam fly will make it a rule to devote them selves for one hour in the week wholly to one another the spirit of family life will be quickened and strengthened. Often the members of a family pursue parallel courses that do not tntersect. It is mere platitude to point out that great events-traveI, marriage, death and the Iike-must inevitably cause disintegration. But so long as the fam fly is together under one roof the spirit of union and common interests should be fostered.-Youth's Companion.

DIR. MEEs TELLS SONG OF HIAWATHA
 IS ENTHUSIASTIC

Dr. Arthur Mees, one of America's g foremost musical directors anc to whom the success of the Bridgeport
 Oratorio society is largely due, is very enthusiastic over the coming production of "Hiawatha," at the Spring concert next Monday evening at the Lyric.
 In speaking of the work to be pre- sented, pr. Mees spoke of it and it's composer as follows:
 "CoIeridge-Tay1or, the son of a West African negro and an English woman, @ ladies' c0mpanion, as a young lad, was deeply impressed by Longfe1low's poems, in particular by his song of Hiawatha, the very In- dian names of which excited his nusi- cal imagination by their sonorousness.
 While still a student in the Royal College of Music in London, he began setting to music 'tHiawatha's Wedding Feast without a thought of supple menting it with further extracts from Longfe1Iow's poem. So extraordinary was the success attending the first performance of this work at a college concert that Co1eridge-Taylor was commissioned by the committee of the North Staffordshire Musical Festival of 1899 to compose choral work for that occasion. He unhesitatingly de- cided on The Death of Minnehaha' as the most suitable text, and wrote the second S6cC1On or WnSL1 Oy tA4S S0OSS- ouent addition of tHiawatha's Depart ure," became the triology which has achieved such remarkable popularity and upon which the fame of Colerfdge- Taylor largely rests.
 "Aside from it's frank me1odious- ness, it's interesting harmontes, it's brilliant Instrumentation, the work ap- peals directly to public taste on ac- count of it's rhythmic vitality, due to the freouent introduction of the Scotch Snap which is a distinguish ing characteristic of negro music, and just at the present time enjoys par ticu1ar vogue
 s'In effective contrast with the joy ousness and tenderness of the We'd ding Feast are the despair of Hia- watha as he rushes into the forest to find help for the starving Minnehaha, and the pathos of his farewell, when on the return to the wigwan he finds his wife dead in the arms of the faithful Nokonis.''

a sirg,s s.rbed Wire Fences.

There is in Central America a brown wren about the size of a canary which builds a curious nest. It selects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together. Across two of the branches it lays sticks fastened to- gether with tough fiber until a plat form about six feet long by two feet wide has been constructed. On the end of this platform nearest the tree trunk it then builds huge dome shaped nest a foot or so high with thick sides of fnterwoven thorns. A covered passageway is then made from the nest to the end of the platform in as crooked a manner as possible. Across the outer end as well as at short intervals along the inside of this tunnel are placed cunning little fences of thorns with just space enough for the owners to pass through. On going out this opening is closed by the own CT by placing thorns across the gate way, and thus the safety of the eggs or young is assured.

PRINCE HENRY WILLIAM.

Prince Henry William Frederick AL bert, the third son of King George and Queen Mary, will attain today to the
 mature age of 16. Prince Henry is one of the leaders of that group. of tactitians and military experts at Econ school who devote all their spare time in figuring out ways and means to achieve a speedy victory over the Teu- tons. It is true that the men responsi- b1e for British military and~nava1 op- erations do not consult the young Prince and his advisory board, but that is so much the worse for them. One of the most distinguished mem bers of this war council has been Prince Leopold, the eldest son of King Albert of Belgium. The Belgian Prince is several months younger than Prince Henry, but he has had the advantage of actual service in the trenches. Since Prince Leopold was admitted to Eton the British Prince has had to play second fiddle in the deliberations of the war council, although his greater age and superior rank as the scion of the sovereign family of a world power makes him the nominal chief of the board of strategy. Prince Henry is said to be the most brilliant intellect uaIIy, of the children of King George. He is an athlete of considerable prowess. and has also given much at tention to the development of the arts of oratory. In one of the Ston de- bates last year Prince Henry argued that while the United States had suff1- cient Justification to declare war on Germany, President Wilson was justi- fled in adhering to a policy of neu- tra1ity as long as possible. The judges supported the Princes view by a vote of four to two.

Moi Afraid of Gold Steel.

In her younger days Eugenie, wher empress of the French nation, was noted for her great courage, as the fol lowing incident proves.
 At a brilliant dinner party a some what tactIess general told her majesty that women should not meddle in poll tics.
 ssYou know, madame,' he said, "that politics lead to war. and if the worse came to the worst you would not have the nerve to face cold steel.''
 "Wouldn't I?'' cried the empress. ''I'll show your And, snatching a large knife from the table, she inflicted a deep stab on her arm.
 After that the general never broach- ed the subject of woman's lack of nerves again.
