 The Priorities Board has declared
 the industry to be essential.
 Congress is expected to pass the
 revenue measure in such way thai the Secretary of the Treasury will have the authority to make the ex. emptions that he considers proper.
 So far as Alaska is concerned, there is every reason to believe that the building better roads next year as the Secretary of War has been au- thOrized, thanks to an amendment to the Army Appropriation bill which MT. Sulzer succeeded in getting through to make estimates for road building in tho Territory; and his attitude is such as to lead the friends of Alaska to believe that he will ask for a substantial sum next year The Postal department has assurei MT. Sulzcr of it's desire to help iE giving a good mail service in al, parts of the country And, as th1; results of the representations recent ly made, the department followed Ou the recommendations of assisting thE miners by establishing regula,: mail service to the Chisana district It is hoped that this will be followed by others in the near future.
 And the matter of the bonus ie
 receiving careful consideration is
 every section of the country, by Con
 gress and by the departments.
 Thus, the agitation for relief of the gold mining industry which has become nation wide, finds the Dele gate from Alaska the central and one
 of the leading figures. And in Wash ington no step is being made in this important work in which MT Sulzer is not consulted or advised

The last and most isolated Of the
PuyneNans Ia Easter island. 1t lies
2-eOo miles westward of the coast OF
Chile, its nearest neighbor being Pit.
eairn island. LOO miles further west
II Il small, only As square miles In
area, and volcanic, the surface being
formed Of lava of comparatively re.
cent eruption. Hence the strange lack
Of vegetation so curiously at var1
ance with a tropical climate. Grass
grows on 1t, however, and 1t is for that
reason largely given up to the raising
Of sheep and cattle.
Easter island was discovered nearly
two hundred years ago by the Dutch
Admiral Roggeveen, who cast anchor
there on an Easter Sunday, whence II
derived it's name. He found 1t more
largely populated than 1t is now. But
he and his crew must have seen an6
marveled at It's bold rock-sculpture, its
terraces and walls, its picture writ
ings. Many Of these, indeed, rival the
world-famous relics Of Mexico and
Peru, while they are strangely akin tc
them in conception and design.

MEANING OF SHIP TONNAGE
Several Different Uses Of Term, Ap-
piled a. Occasion Demands, Are
Cited by National Authority.

The different uses Of tonnage terms
whom speaking Of ships are causes Of
confusion to the lay mind. Why ships
cannot be really compared according
to tonnage Is explained by Capt. @. A.
McAllister, engineer in chief, United
States coast guard, in an article in
Popular Science Monthly. For example,
he states, steamship companies, in or
der to impress relative safety Of their
craft, will advertise the sailing Of a
certain steamer Of 10000 tons, mean
ing, Of course, gross tons. The COM
pany's agent, in entering 1t at the GUS
tom house, will take precaution to GER
tify that she is only 1910 tons, when
paying tonnage taxes. He then Is re-
ferring to her net tonnage, and in fact
that standard Is used only when pay
ing dues or taxes.
Displacement tonnage is almost ex-
clusively applied to warships, as they
do not carry cargoes. Strange to say,
the tonnage Of q battleship varies al
most hourly. as coal or other weighty
objects are used or taken on board.
The tonnage Of warships is, however,
fixed; they are referred to in terms of
the fixed tonnage.
A statement that 10,000-ton battle
ship sank a 10,0O0-ton merchant ship
does not mean that the ships were OF
equal size. The merchant ship would
be much larger, owing to the different
meanings Of the term "ton," as applied
to the two types Of vessels. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible to give rules for the
relation Of these terms, as the condi-
tons vary too greatly. Generally speak
Ing, the gross tonnage Of ship Is from
80 to 100 per cent greater than the net
tonnage.
