SILVER OUTLOOK IS HOPEFUL.

Increased demand for silver in the Orient and Latin American countries is causing upward ten iency in the price of silver. The increase does not count of the fact that under the Pittman Act the United States is bound to pay $1 ounce for the silver produced in this country, and it is esti- meted that this law will be operative for three years Therefore, the supply to meet the increased demand elsewhere must be found in the production of foreign mines and the old silver in
 During 1921 London exported to India and China alone $41 900 in silver$27 500000 to India and s14 000 900 to China. This is increase from S36,- 900 in 192O-$17, ,5OO,0OO to India and s19,- 900 900 China.

 These are moving straws that many perts to believe that the silver winds blowing toward higher prices Predictions freely made that to meet the demand for silver, as soon as there shall be revival of business will require some, least, of the American product. Before that could be supplied however the price would necessarily be greater than the $1 an ounce that the United States is required to pay.
 Silver enthusiasts even greater possibilities than arendieated by these conditions They believe that land exchange of European without the use of silver in quantities fact the free coinage Of silver at an agreed upon ratio with gold is fre- quently urged in Europe.

NEW YORK A one-armed man, about fifty years old, breath lessly appeared at the Royal Mail pier as the steamship Orbita was about to sail for Southampton. He anxiously inquired for Captain Matthews. When the captain ap- peared he related this story: My ncme is Robert Parkinson. I am an Englishman and live at Bol- ton, Lancashire. Ten years ago came to this country and went to Fl Paso, Texas, to work as a blacksmith. Seven years ago l was run over by a train and lost my left arm. Then I took to doing odd jobs. Not long ago my wife wrote me to come home. I had no money, so I decided to walk to New York from Fl Paso. / I ob- tained a two-wh eeled ptishcart which carried what belongings I had. I left there on March II. By selling postcards and other lit- tie things that I made I managed to earn enough to buy food. All went well until October II at Bridgeport, Ohio, an automobile struck me and my cart. The cart was wrecked and l was hurt and sent to a hospital They let me out in day or so, and l continued walking to New York, carrying what was left of my belongings on my back. Won't you take me back to my wife? I'd walk, but I can't walk across the ocean," Captain Mathews discovered that he could use the crippled and tired Parkin- son. He signed him up, and Park inson left on the last leg of his voyage back to his wife, as some sort of an assistant.

One Mans Vision Built a City.
(POrt Angeles Herald.)

Once upon time the story goes (and this is true story), down in little town near where the writer born, lived a who believed that De- wagac Michigan, should be a great city This man had small clothing store in the town. He realized that if there a great many mechanics working in factories his business would grow and the town would become city
 Dowagiac Michigan, was like hundreds of other small towns at that time, struggling village of per haps 1500 or 2000 people. The farming country sur rounding it not rich fertile but this did deter the clothing store with the vision.
 One day this man took walk about this little town. He went over to see the editor of the local paper He inquired to any and all of the little factories shops in the city He procured list of these and on this list he found little foundry by by the of Beckwith who making stoves He found another little shop that was turn ing out grain drills be sold to the neighboring farmers He found another making baskets out of thin shavings cut from swamp elm, timber that was supposed to be useless He learned of a number of others and the next day he took trip around the town to visit all these shops and inquire about all the inventors and into all the little schemes about the town.
 This man took all these to his store He studied them over. He then wrote letters ali the try, to ascertain the potential market for these articles. He discovered that the grain drill, the basket and the stoves staple and would sell
 His next move was to call in the bankers and men of standing in the community. After much work a company was organized for the purpose of promot ing the sale of these useful articles. They didnN appropriate a large amount of money. Each and every man wrote hundred letters about the stove for they decided that this the easiest factory promote first.
 Suddenly the stove found himself swamped with orders coming by mail, and this the be- ginning of one of the largest stove manufacturing plants in the United States toda The other factories were taken up in like by this committee of citizens, and they did the stove works
 Dowagiac is city of 20000 people today, just because this in the clothing business had vision. There are dozens of similar opportunities in Port Angeles awaiting the with vison or the work of committee of who have faith in the town

ELIMINATING COMPETITION.

Confronted with the collapse of her street car system, Des Moines recently by an overwhelming majority, voted to do away with the 'Jtneys,' to give the street company monopoly of rapid transit witin the city limits and to allow it to col
 ect 8 fare. The law provides, however, that the company cannot pay to exceed a per cent dividend until the fare is cut to cents when a per cent. dvident will be allowed When the fare shall again reach 5 cents the company will be per mitted to pay per cent. dividend In the mean
 me the City guarantees the payment of the interest oil the companys bonded debt.
 What changes wrought by time! A short while people everywhere inveighing against monopolies of all sorts. It generally accepted and the acceptance based experence, that petition made for lower cost of service and greater efficiency in public service companies. Now, how ever, in these trying times of readjustment people are aiding, in many instances, in the elimination of competition and duplication services in transpor tation matters.
 It seems to be generally conceded by econ omiss that the less duplication have in ren- dering public service the better the people be served and the less the of the service provided of course if there proper regulations as to the profits that permitted.

1922 to Be "Alaska Year."
Seattle Times.

The biggest campaign Seattle will conduct during the coming year will be designed to open up Alaska to capital. settlers and industry.
 That campaign will be successful because it will be backed by the Harding Administration, upon which devolves the duty of making the Government- owned Alaska Railroad pay
 Nineteen twenty-two will be Alaska Year. in Washington State and in Washington, D. C.
 Seattle help the administration, Terri tory and itself by helping to speed the unshac knc of the Northland.
 We have been talking rather vaguely of the some thing that would happen, as always has been the case, to end nacon in this city and start it moving ahead faster in business, population and commerce.
 During the ten-year period from 1910 to 1920, Alaskas commerce aggregated than $650 900 O00 The greater part of this enormous business passed through Seattle.
 population decreased 10000, approximately from 37,000 to 27 900.
 Imagine what would be the volume of it's busi- ness were it's white population to increase 100 900 in the next ten years, with inevitable development of agriculture and industres
 Yet, no who is acquainted with the Northland doubts for single moment that if the Government actively encouraged capital and settlers Alaska would register increase of 1000O population annually for the next ten years
 And, even then, its resources would be only in small part utilizedi
 The completion of track-laying on the Alaska Railroad this the biggest in the recent history of Aaska-and also of Seattle.
 Passengers and freight be sent in from the to Fairbanks But two bridges remain to be built and the steel for of them reached Seattle several days ago. The other will be put through as soon as this Congress approprates necessary money
 The railroad means transportation to the Interior lt also means such interest in Territorial deveopment as the Government never previously has exhibited
 The shackles to be stricken from this enor- mously rich country Let Seattle speed the lberatine of the Northland,
 With the opening up of the Last American Vest to development and settlement Seattle will enter upon its greatest period of expansion and prosperity
 If we make 1922 an Alaska Year" we also will make it Seattle Year."

 It takes lot of trouble to get rid of weeds in the garden, but the fel. low who marries a widow to get rid of them is in for endless trouble

 These girls who blush so easily might equip themselves with a fan and radiator like the car to prevent them from getting overheated
 Every short skirt gets many long look.
 The style in spoon holders changes with the seasons. The hammock now has given place to the parlor couch or just one of the chairs. These great days a man with a wife and car thinks he has a big ger family than his grandfather who raised 10 children They say nobody loves a fat man, but we understand the cannibals pre- fer that kind to any other.
 We guess the ladies who are grab ping our clothes, votes and smokes Will draw the line at our razors. We never yet have seen a lady who had any hankering to grow a beard.
 Most men would like to be little wicked if they were sure they would not be caught at it.
 All discussion ends when the wom- an gets the last. word
 Every girl is crazy to marry. Ten years later she knows she was crazy to marry.
 Sometimes. the louder the lamenta- tion at wife's funeral. the clearer you can hear the wedding bells for number two.

PRESIDENT PROPOSES INDUSTRIAL
 COURTS.

In his first annual message to Congress President Harding declared that labor has the right o organize capital has, but he said there shou l be industrial courts to hear and determine the - putes between employers and employees. In other words the President believes there should be lectiye bargaining but the law should make it o there two sides to the bargain.
 We agree fully with the President in this matte There can be no bargaining when of the parti s has the power to dictate the terms and there can no just bargain when of the parties to it is the court of last resort in deciding upon disputes con- cernng it. Employer and employee should be plac l equal basis Neither should be allowed u dictate.
 Nor there be real bargaining unless there Q commitments both sides. When laboring men come to the employer and demand that wages be raised working conditions improved. hours shor ened they should come with good reasons for their request and some guarantees to what they will d. the request is granted Likewise when poyers ask for agreement for reduction of wages they should give the why it is necessary guarantees as to what they will do in the premises
 We know of no better way to adjust such matters than through industrial court, which is anohe:

Mexico's Cotton Crop
 Given at 80,0O0 Bales

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2S.-Mexico's s cotton crop this year will not be more than 80,000 bales, as compared to a normal annual crop of 125,000 bales, according to recent estimates. The decrease is said to be the result of the determination of growers in the Laguna district, where the bulk of the crop is produced, not to culti vate their fields until market prices are higher
