A CEMETERY WORTH
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

Lack of American merchant ship
ping on the Pacific Coast prevents
the development of one of the largest
natural deposits of fertilizer known in
the world. These are the vast depos-
its of the bones of fur seals and sea-
lions on the Pribolof Islands, Alaska.
The vast accumulation consists of
the skeletons of fur seals and sea-
lions killed at these islands for their
fur during the last hundred years. In
a recent letter to Representative j. w.
Alexander of Missouri, Chairman of
the House Committee on Merchant
Marine, the Secretary of Commerce,
William c. Redfield, said with refer
ence to these deposits:
'fThey have not been fully surveyed
but one Of the deposits (and tT1s+e
are many lies at the waterfront and
is a mile long by half a mile broad
Its thickness is not fully determined
but an average depth of two feet is
perhaps a reasonable estimate and in
places where it has been exposed by
the sea or by workings, it is known
to be six feet deep.
1.-THE value Of these deposits is large
certainly it runs into the millions,
possibly into many millions of dol
lars. The physical conditions have
preserved the ferti1izing properties of
the bones in a remarkable way, as the
analysis shows. Our agriculture great
ly needs this material and the demand

SPECIAL CARE OF WAR
STRANDED IMMIGRANTS

Ry Frederick G. Howe, Commission
er of Immigration at the Port of New
York.)
The Ellis Island Immigrant station
is the greatest gateway in the world.
Through it in normal times a million
people enter the United States each
year. They come from every nation;
but, they all come with the same
hopes, and inspired by the same de-
sires for a new, life in a new land,
free from the poverty, oppression or
persecution to which they or their
people have been subjected.
The European war created new
problems, just at it's termination will
create many more. The outbreak of
the war found here nearly 400 aliens
who had been ordered deported, but
who could nots then be returned to
Russia, to AUSTRIA to Germany. There
were men, women and children; for
most part they were peasants; they
came from small towns and villages.
To relieve the situation Fairgrounds
were opened on Ellis Island, and the
mothers and children were permitted
to play upon the lawns The first day
they were released from the station
they rolled upon the earth and wept
with joy from contact with the green
grass and growing things.
4 Glasses were iorganized Il sewing:
material was SECURED. and the women
were set to making clothes for them
selves and their children. The men
were employed at mat making under
the instruction Of sailor. Glasses
were organized in gymnastics for the
men: while a school was temporarily
opened for the purpose of educating
the children The men and women
were permitted to ning1e more freely
in the various dentention rooms: while
games were provided and other means

The accumulation of freight at
New York piers, resulting in acute
congestion, has Increased greatly
in CONSEQUENCE Of the persistent
STORMY weather. The streets have
presented such slippery footing
for horses as to reduce trucking
eficieney substantially one half,

age freight in New York harbor is
also very slow. These conditions
have resulted In an accumulation
at rain terminals destinedeto New
York Harbor points now amount
ing to approximately 1000 cars. 4
and it has become imperative for
the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Company to
temporarily suspend the accept
ance of freight at stations on its
lines for delivery at Pier 80,
Group East River. and in connec-
ton with the New England
Steamship Company via Sound
ports.
An embargo to that effect will be
issued by the New Haven Conn
pany to take effect at midnight,
March 49, land continued for the
briefest possible time necessary to
enable the company to reduce the
congestion at its New York piers

HECKLING THE FIREMAN

n OR days past President
TT Wilson has been holding
off a railroad strike-a
strike that if it should come
would be the greatest of the
sort ever known, paraiyzing
American industry and ending
God knows where.
While the chief executive is
doing this and with first hand
knowledge of conditions is try
ing to bring about a settlement
another movement has been
started.
All over the country busi-
ness organizations, standpat
politicians, governors, mayors,
etc, are being asked to wire
the president requesting him
to change his position and ac-
cede to the demands of the rail-
roads. A message of this sort
reached Pendleton yesterday.
If for any reason the presi-
dent should grant these ap-
peals there is every reason to
believe that a strike would be
on in "a hours time. The train
men say they will have the
eight hour rule or fight, and
authority for this action has al
ready been given by an over
whelming vote.
The propogandists may not
mean to do so but they are
harrassing and interfering with
the fire department at time
when they should have sense
enough to keep hands off.
If a nationwide cOnflagra-
ton is wanted a splendid way
TO accomplish it is to keep on
pestering the man who is hold
ing the spark away from the
tinder.

credited with helping Wilson
instead Of hurting him.

TOO MUCH CAFE NOIR

n HE public is always the
W chief sufferer from a
strike and the fact is be-
ing we'll illustrated in st. Louis
where the dairymen are on a
walkout. Owing to differences
between the dairy owners and
their workers st. Louis has had
to do without cream for break
fast for two weeks. The situ-
alton has caused the Post-DiS-
patch to complain that too
much of cafe noir is plenty or
words to that effect. Mean
while the dairy owners want to
arbitrate the strike provided
the arbitration can be arrang-
ed upon a basis that will insure
a full victory for the owners
against the strikers.
