Women Outnumber Men
Ten to One IN Paraguay

Observation-Disclosures is per-
haps less known to Americans than
any of the South American countries"
remarked Henry Hume, Of Texas.
when in Washington recently. with
its 171,S14 square miles, it is consid-
erably larger than the state of Cali
fornia, and it's population is less than
100000. OF this number there are
probably 100, 900 that are wild Indians,
and large majority of the remaining
100000 are still classed as illiterate.
Women outnumber the men ten to
one, and this is something of gain
for the male sex, for fifty years ago,
! il is said the proportion was twenty
five women to one man.
Paraguay has been a peaceful ma
ton for fifty years. Prior to 1870
Paraguay's principal occupation was
| fighting, but the lack of man power to
carry on warfare brought a stop to
the fighting, not, however, until after
| there had been several sanguinary
campaigns. The principal wars were
with Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina,
| and while Paraguay had the best SOL
diers in all South America they could
not stand up against the overwhelm-
ing numbers that opposed them. 1t
is said that five-sixths Of Paraguay's
population persisted in her wars, and
| it was the manning sixth that estab-
| lished the apparently stable govern
ment that now exists.
There has not been great deal Of
development in the fifty years of peace
| however. This is not surprising when
| it is considered that three-fourths of
/ the population are still in the woods,
| less than 10 per cent. Of the people
living in the cities. Necessarily
Paraguay does very little business
with this country, but there is oppor-
tunity for considerable reciprocal COM
merce, and there are fine chances for
making money in the country

ANCHORAGE RESIDENTS VOTE
 TO INCORPORATE THE TOWN

By vote of nearly three to one, the residents of Anchorage voted on Tuesday to incorporate the town, as requested to do by the Alaskan Engineering commission. The vote was taken in connection with the regular election.
 The question of incorporation has been under consideration by the people of Anchorage for some time, the issue being somewhat clouded by entanglement with the Alaskan Engineering commission Shortly be- fore the vote was taken committee of citizens waited on Col. Mears for the purpose of reaching an understanding on questions at issue and it is presumed the outcome was satisfactory.
 The vote stood BPS in favor of incorporation and 130 against.
