MINED MARRIAGE

YOKOHAMA. Aug. 2e-The
foreign school of Yokohan which
unlike other similar schools of
Japan, has rtgidly excluded chill
dren of mixed marriages. has at
last decided to lift the ban. This
is the result of long controversy
in which veteran western mer-

The lack of money broke down the
opposition to these children. their

Hyder Alaska miner., 1922-08-30

If the probable increase in pro- duction for 1922 is maintained dur ing 1923 it will decrease the dura- tion of the Pittman Act by about three months. indicating a total re- maining period of 15.2 months. It will be noted that the monthly av- craze of purchases during 1922 is slightly less than that of 1921, which does not reflect any decrease in production for 1922. When aI- lowance is made for the time of smelteT treatment, the increase in ore production now taking place will not become evident in the silver returns of the Mint until the last months of this year and the first months of 1923.
 To protect their interests silver producers should be guided in their operations and plans for the future marketing of silver by the mini mum estimated life of the Pittman Act of IS months from July 25, 1922 or to about November 1, 1923, ac- coFdjng to Mir. LaWrie.

DOLLAR SILVER Tli I Il
 FIFTEEN MONTHS

The probable duyation of the per iod of silver purchases under the terms of the Pittman Act, which guarantees domestic producers $1 per ounce for the metal until such time as the 208,OOO,0OO OF. sold to Great Britain during the war have been replaced by mint purchases, is estimated at IS months by H. N. Lawrie, managing director of the American Gold and Silver Institute, according to the Engineering and Mining Journal-Press of New York. The act went into effect in May 1920; since then monthly average of purchases in 1920 were 3, ,738, APO oz., in 1921. 4,888,544 oz., and in 1922, 4,798,770 OF. The total silver purchased to July 25, 1922 was 119, ,960,506 oz., leaving a total of approximately 87,000,000 yet to be purchased. The monthly average for the 26 months is 4,5l3,9 OF. At that rate the 87,000,000 ounces would be purchased in a period of 19.3 months. At the monthly rate purchases fog the year 1922, how ever. the period of purchase would be shortened to 1892 months. With the increasing production of copper and lead, the production of silver will increase this year, it is esti- mated, by about 6,OOO,0OO ounces.

MONEY IN QUEBEC HIGHWAYS
Amount Now Reaches Sum of $50 600.
000-Foreign Motorcars Leave
$35, 900, 900.

Forty thousand miles Of roads In
the province Of Quebec occupy an area
Of 800, 900 acres, which at $50 an acre,
makes value of $18,000,000, according
to S. L. Squires, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Canadian
Good Roads association. The cost Of
the work done on the highways prior
to 1912 aggregated S40,000,0O0, while
the amount spent by the province since
that date amounted to $30,000,000.
This constituted a total investment in
Quebec roads of $S6,000,000
The number of motorcars entering
Quebec In 1920 totaled 34,435. These
foreign cars left no less than $685.
$4,000. 1t is expected that when the
final figures for 1921 are compiled this
amount will total approximately $780,
100000.

HOMEGROWN EASTER LILIES
Experiments Made by the United

Have Been Successful.

When 1t first became known that ex-
periments in raising Easter lilies from
seed were being carried on by the De
partment of Agriculture, few florists
were prepared to believe that the
undertaking possessed any commercial
value beyond the possibilities of pro-
ducing new hybrids. The results, of
these experiments, which have now
been carried on for four years, indi-'
cate, the department specialists be-
lieve, that this country can develop an
important industry.
On the Arlington experimental farm,
which is just across the Potomac river
from Washington, department special
lists produce the lily seeds in green
houses by artificial pollination. These

Since her husband had died and had

relations had wondered what had made
her ever marry him in the first place.
And some of them had said that doubt

she took him.
But such was not the case. She
had always been very happy despite
her poverty. They had been generous
even with their little, and the relatives
who were hopeful that the jewels she
possessed would later realize them
something had said that fools and their

IMPROVED
ROADS
MONEY FOR BUILDING ROADS
According to Bureau Of Public Roads
$3.50, s75, 900 Must Be Expended
in Three Years.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The total of federal-aid funds for
road building apportioned among the
various states up to the present time
by the bureau of public roads, United
States Department of Agriculture, ag-
gregates 1899, $4,000, according to a
tabulation prepared by the depart
ment. OF this sum $T3,125,000 is APP
portloned under the federal highway
act, approved by President Harding
November 8, last, and $266,75O0O0
represents the total apportsonment
under the old acts.
Under the terms of the new act the
federal aid money will be available to
the states for two years after the close
Of the fiscal year for which the money
Is appropriated. This provision is made
to apply to the money appropriated
under the previous act and its amend
ment as well as to the new appropria-
ton. Accordingly, the new appropria-
ton must be expended by June 30,
1924, and the time allowed for the
expenditure of the balance of the
previous appropriation which remains
in some states is extended to June 30,
1923. The forest road appropriation
is available until expended.
The new appropriation is to be ex-
pended upon definite, connected sys-
TEN of highways in each state, of not
to exceed per cent of the total mile
age of highways already existing In
the state. This system is to be
divided into two parts; the first to in
clude the more important roads, which
are to be known as the primary or
Interstate highways; the second to

to the greenhouse. Without undue
forcing the plants will come into full
bloom the following February to April
liz months after the seed has been
planted. Those plants which bloom
in July or August and from which the
bloom stalk has been cut may send
out two or three stalks and can be
forced to bloom again by Easter.
Many commercial growers are much
interested in the work which Is being
conducted on the Arlington farm, and

will be developed In this country which
