Korean Women Refuse to Mix
 in Marrying

Honolulu, T. H., Apr.-The Flaw ian race which with the Polynesians in general, has been regarded as a dying people is being reborn and re- invigorated by infusion of alien blood according. to statistics just complied by Louis R. Sullivan of the New York museum of natural history, now at tached to the Bishop museum in Hon. olulu.
 MT. Sullivan has Sust completed analysis of 14,569 marriages in the islands. selected at random and his findings in some cases have been sur prises to science.
 According to the ta!leJ, more Arc . erican men in the territory marry women. The Japanese are not as has been supposed the most prolific race in the islands, but are surpassed in this regard by Portuguese, Porto Ri cans. part Hawaiiaps and spanish. Of American women more than one in every six living in the islands mar ry Hawaiians, part Hawaiiars and -otherS of blood strange to their an- cestry. Of all the racial ..roup1 the Korean women represent tue only one which refuses to mix hl iod, not a single case of a Korean woman marrying a man other than d kcre- an having been discovered
 As a whole, the tables indicate, the part Hawaiian group has tendency 10 consolidate, rather than scatter, since of aucasian-Hawai!an males who marry 32.7 per cent. marry back into the full blooded Hawaiian strain while only l5.S per cent. take white wives and the remainder. cIth- CT inbreed among their own kind or marry 4G.4 per cent. marry back in- to the Asiatic strain and negligible proportion into the Caucasian strain.
 The result so far as the Hawaiian race is concerned is said to be new racial group, fecund 70 d high de- gree. still abnormally susceptible to civilizations diseases, but with much higher resistance powers than the old Hawaiian stock and yisibly add ing to it's numbers.
 While the women of Korea lead all other males and females iI the is lands in marrying within .heir own race. there are other groups which are a close second in this respect. On ly 0.3 of the one per cent. of JaHHn- csc women contract out marriages or unions with men of other races. whi's Q = of one per cent. of Japanese men 50 pick their mates. The percentage for the Chinese is per cent. for the women and 41.5 for the men; Amer jeans 17.9 for the women and 51.7 for the men; Portuguese 32.3 wom- cn: I2.O men; Hawaiian 4O5 women l9.5 men.
 The pure Hawaiian death rate is the highest in the islands, 13.4S per thousand annually, altho the pure Hawaiian birth rate is nearly twice as high as American, British and oth- CT whites. Scientists recognize that susceptibility to diseases of civiliza- tion is responsible for the disappear auce of the pure Hawaiian race, but the figures just made public by MT. Sullivan are the first to show that in- ter-marriage is rebuilding the old race into stronger, more hardy peo- pie.

(. P. R. Decides to Purchase Road
 AtStewart, B.C.

| Confirmation or the story appear ing in The Empire several weeks 1 ago that the Canadian Pacific Rail- way had taken an option on the Bear River railroad running ont of | Stewart, E. C., is revealed ny the statement recently made by the | Financial Times of Montreal to the effect that the announcement that the z. P. R. has decided to take up It's option on the Mackenzie and Mann's Stewart short line railway is of interest to the entire Canadian Pacific Coast" The Times goes On to say:
 This will mark the first step in the building of railway from tide water into the Peace River country and the oil fields of the Mackenzie River. If these latter are tap ed Ky line running from Edmo Iton north it is a foregOne conclusion tha. the bulk of the trade will go to eastern points. whereas. if the road is built to the coast the trade will come this way. While the line now said to have been secured by the C. ?. R. is but q few miles in length, II should be borne in mind that /4t forms but q very insignificant DOT ton of a large scheme which had for it's objective the tapping of the Groundhog coal areas and the vast Peace River country itself,
 To Tap Oi! Fields.
 "The oil strike at Fort Norman has been instrumental in turning the attention of the public to the vast practically unknown territory in which the oil fields lies. and as the utilization of this oil will depend upon the feasible routes being found for it's transportation to commercial Centcrs. authentic information in re gard tu these probable routes is now of great interest, especially in view Of the fact that geographically British Columbia offers the logical outlet for the oil men from Fort Norman and also from the Peace River dis tict if the oil in commercial Quan- titles is discoyqred there.
 Fort Norman is about 400 miles from the mouth of the Mackenzie river. which is frozen up for the greater portion of the year, and is thus prccludcd from consideration as an all the year round shipping point. which is the principal desider- alum.
 "Skagwuy is roughly roo miles from Fort Norman by probable railway ronte. but it must be eiim- mated as a possible outlet for the oil owing to il being in American ter ritory. as must also Wrangell, at the mouth of the Stikine river" Juneau People Interested
 James J. ConnOrs of Juneau owns a haIf-interesl in the Red Top group of silver, lead and copper claims which are cut at one corner by the old survey of the Mackenzie and Mann road. % miles from Stewart and six miles from the end of steel. The property is HOW under bond to Gus SciTcrt and associates. among whom are number of Juneau peo- l pie.
 ! Mir. Connors said today that eX- l tension of tie present railroad, now only If miles long, will prove a won I derful stimuIant to mining activity in the Bear River district, which hcontains a number of very prOmis- ing properties now handicapped by a lack of proper transportation ia cilitics.
