Only 400 Foreigners.

"Of Canton's population. variously
estimated at from 100000 to 100000.
only about 400 are foreigners, most of
whom reside in the Shamien settle
r1ent, an artificial island reclaimed
by the British from an extensive mud
nat.
Although characterized by eau
casian observers as sulien in their
political antipathies, the Cantonese are
a cheerful, Industrious and intelligent
people in their daily lives. They ac-
cept philosophically their many hard
ships and receive with stoical forti-
tude the visitations of pestilence,
which from time to time removes
much of the surplus population.
Perhaps it was the scarcity OF food
which caused the Cantonese to include
in their menus many 'delicacies' not SO
classed by western people. For ex-
ample, there is a bread of dog which
is fattened in this great city and much
priced by those who can afford more
than a rice diet. Cats. hawks and
birds nests are also regarded as ap-
petiZing viands.

JOHN GUILD, HOME 'FRONT.' ,sIANCH SUPPORTER
OF QD0DROADS HERE; SHOWS VALUEOF BONDING

alize that in these days good roads
are almost the greatest asset that a
community can have.
After seeing the wonderful en-
thusiasm for good roads everywhere
and the great things that have been
accomplished by communities of far
| less wealth than Honolulu, | am in
cliHed to change my mind on the sub
ject OF bonds for the building Of bet
ter roads here.
Bonds ard Good Roads
r'TheSe is no Doubt said Mr.. Guild.
that practically all of the great ex-
penditures for good roads in all parts
of the mainland have been financed
by the issuing of bonds and nowhere
do you find people questioning the
wisdom OF this method of getting goou
roads and getting them without de-
lay from talking with men in differ
ent parts of the country. believe That
the gain TO any community from good
roads in these days of automobiles is
so great and so quickly felt in the
number of people attracted. to that
part of the country, that the end
justtfies the means and / feel strong
ly that we must adopt some plan for
financing the cost of new roads in
Honolulu whereby their completion In
the shortest possible time will be
insured"
In Mr.. Guilds opinion Honolulu
with its bright prospects for becom-
ing great tourist resort simply must
give serious thought to this question
of roads.
"Ihe time is past for talking about
what has not been dorie," said he and
the community should get together, as
never before, and take up this ques-
tion in earnest and do something"
+ Asked If. he had looked into any
business matters while on the main
land, Mr.. Guild said that he believed
the price of sugar is more likely to go
down than up between now and next
March, He also said that he had met
Mr.. Paxton in San Francisco and had
found him more enthusiastic than
ever over the prospects of the Engels
Copper Company.
Speaking of the Mineral Products
Company, Mr.. Guild said that from
what he had learned the future of that
company looks very bright as Mr..
'Ginaca IS at last turning out COM
mercial dioxide for which there are
ready buyers.
A narrow-gauge tramway," said
Mr.. Guild, is now being laid from the
end of the company's railroad to the
manganese deposits. Until this tram
way is completed only small quanti-
ties can be turned out by the mill. but
when it is completed early in Janu-
airy large quantity will be turned
out right along and there seems now
no doubt that there is a market at
very good prices waiting for all that
can be produced.

great prosperity. Most people. OF
course. appreciate that this has come
from the war and that it is abnormal
and temporary, but al the same time
New York is now feeling the benefit
from this prosperity.
The large hotels are turning away
people every day and it is estimated
that there are 100000 people arriving
in New York every day. Americans

the winter are also now going to New

Studies Boy Scout Developments
Mr.. Guild is president of the Local
Council of the Boy Scouts and while
in New York looked into the Boy
Scout movement there, and. with
James A. Wilder, visited the national
headquarters several times. He re-
ports that Mr.. Wilder is now recog.
nized as a national figure in the Boy
Scout movement and is delivering
several lectures a week to large
audience in Boston.
Mr.. Guild, like most Honolulu peo-
PIE returning from the mainland,
comes back greatly impressed with
the splendid roads now to be found
throughout the whole country, and he
stated that while on every hand he
had heard nothing but good of the
islands and Honolulu, he realized dur
ing his trip, more than ever, that
Honolulu is deplorably behind in the
matter Of roads. ~
Every city in the United States,
said Mr. Guild, seems to be joining
in the general campaign for good
roads, and what has been accomplish
ed is simply marvellous. BY a united
definite plan among the different
states the great Lincoln highway
across the continent will soon be

In speaking Of his stay in the East,

sic or seeing Hawaiian plays Of some

here, and wealthy tourists are looking
to hawaii more than ever before.
Travel TO Be Heavy
While in San Francisco Mr.. Guild
learned that the representative OF
Cooks Tourist Agency had stated that
II had made heavier bookings for trav-
ell from the East to the West for the
next two months than ever before in
/. the history OF the Cook agency.
This MEANS said Mr. Guild, that
tourists are coming to Hawaii this
winter IN larger numbers than, ever,

Mr. Guild appeared to feel very
strongly that people should keep be,
fore them these days the fact that if
the war, should end. no matter from
what reason, there will be a great
slump in everything. Some things, of
course, he believes will come back
again, but throughout the mainland,

generally believed that the end Of the
war VIII mean serious drop in every
thing that has been affected by war
conditions.
In concluding the interview, Mr..
Guild said that while he had enjoyed
every moment of his vacation and
felt greatly better for it, he was glad
to be home and at work again and he
added that in all his trip he had seen
no place to compare with Honolulu.

WILSON FAVORS NEW TARIFF
 MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-President Wilson has decided to recommed to the present congress the passage or legislation providing for the creation of a permanent tariff commission. The board will be non-partisan and it is hoped that the passage of such a law will take the tariff out of politics for ever. This solution of the problem has been recommended by the Cham Der of Commerce Of the United States which recently held a referendum on the matter and voted overwhelmingly in it's favor. Wilson is also busily engaged on the preparation of a special message to Congress advising that measures be taken to meet the abnormal conditions which will arise in trade and immigration when the European war comes to an end.

PLACER GOLD STRIKE
 NEAR COLD BAY

That a gold strike of importance has been made near Cold bay away out on the Alaska peninsula is the statement conveyed in letter just received by Nate White from William Rustschow, a business man of that quarter. The letter was written over two months ago and just after two miners had returned from the strike with $500 in gold dust which they had sluiced from the new creek. The writer of the letter describes the scene of the strike as between Cold Bay and a place called Katsma Bay. Cold Bay is opposite Unga island on the peninsula. The new creek has been called Three Pine creek and MT. Rustschow himself has visited the place and seen the sluicing so that there is no doubt as to the authenti- city of the information. So well does the outlook seem to him that he ex- presses the belief that there will be a stampede from several quarters, in cluding Seward. The creek runs right into the ocean.-Seward Gate way.

STATES POSSESS RIGHT ENACT
 WATERLAW5

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The Su- preme Court contiues to expeditously dispose of the great accumulation of business before it, and important de- cisions are being handed down almost daily. Today the court decided the famous water power cases holding that the individual states had the power to enact laws by which power sites and water rights could be ac- quired by municipal corporations through the power of eminent domain. The decision extends the scope of the eminent domain doctrine considera- bly as it brings power sites within the definition of objects known as govern mental purposes. The opinion in the case was written by Justice Holmes, the particular case involving the con stitutionlity of the Alabama water power statutes. The matter touched the improvement of the Tallaposa riv- CT in that state. Holmes said that the argument advanced by the oppon- ents of the law that the purpose of the condemnation was not public one would not stand.

SEATTLE. Jan. 24-There were only eight persons killed when an avalanche of snow swept two of the cars of the Cascade Limited down the mountain side of the Great Northern railroad last Saturday. The first re- ports of eighteen dead were fortunat- lv found to be exaggerated. The res cuing parties worked valiantly taking the injured from the debris, and they were immediately given medical at. tention, so that it is not thought that there will be any more deaths. All or the injured are doing well. Four of the bodies have been recovered, ana four more are still in the mass buried under tons of snow. The slide was an immense one and all traffic on the line has been suspended. There are over six hundred men at work clear ing the track and it is hoped that trains will be running once more by tomorrow morning. The line of the Milwaukee railroad has also been closed by heavy snowslides. The trains of the latter road are compelled to use the rail of the Northern Pacific from Ellensburg on. There were nc AIaskans on the Great Northern train which was the victim of the slide.

 EXPLOSION

BUFFALO, Jan. 24-Fifteen work men were killed today and many others wounded in an explosion which
 occurred at the plant of the Kelker Blower Company on Harrison street. An investigation disclosed the fact that the trouble was caused by a de- fective boiler in the basement, which exploded under pressure. The con- cern occupied the whole of a large three story building, which crumpled up and utterly collapsed when the ac- cident happened. The force of the explosion was unbelievable, every one of the forty employees who were in the building at the time being buried in the debris. Not a single one of them escape injury, and it is feared that the death roll of fften may yet be added to. A public school was the nearest building to the factory, and it incurred considerable injury also. Fortunately it happened before school had opened for the day and there were no children in the building
 Every window in all the houses for blocks around was smashed by the air concussion following the explosion

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Copper is still occupying the center of the fin ancial stage in this city, and it looks now as if the price would go much higher than it is at present. The great demand is for electrolytic copper and the chief dealers in the commodi- ty were today asking from 25 to 251a cents for deliveries in the second quarter of this year. Copper for im- mediate delivery would bring sub' stantial increase over this price, but there is none to be had.
