business done at certain eastern ports.
Similar opposition to anything in the
way of progress always has arisen,
regardless of the fact that every such
advance, instead of making less busi-
ness for some interests, always makes
more business for everybody con-
cerned. Transcontinental railways
probably do more business when trade

SUCCESSFUL VACATION

"Two Weeks With Pay" the new est Bebe Daniels picture, which comes to town tonight for a two-day run at the Empress Theater, is the sprightly tale of working girls vacation. Miss Daniels is seen in a dual role, that of the little salesgirl and a famous film actress for whom she is mistaken. But it is in the adventures of Pansy, the sales girl, that the audience is in terested.
 It would be awfully hard on the storekeepers and office executives of the land if all vacations ended so bad ly for business as did Pansy's little old two weeks. But from Pansy's stand point, her vacation was huge suc- cess, even though it started rather in auspiciously in a mud puddle.

WATER POWER
 IS TO SOLVE
 FUELPR0BLEM

The great coal strike of this year brings the country long step near to the time when none of us will care if they don't mine any coal at all.
 The American people are becoming very tired of high coal prices and the everlasting strikes. They realize that a thousand rivers and high lakes in this country are capable of producing hundreds of millions of electrical horsepower, and they are more and more intent that government and capital shall develop the energy now going to waste. The great muddy Missouri when properly harnessed will furnish 10,0OO,00O horsepower and the Mississippi much more. Even the creeks running through the farmers back lots can be utilized and with the latest inventions their low power turned into cheap heat as well as light for the farmers houses and barns.
 It is only a few years since it was believed that electricity could not be carried a great distance without eX- pensive loss of energy. The plants at Niagara were producing more power than could be used by Buffalo and nearby towns on this and the Cana dian side Then came an invention or two and the Niagara power was carried as far as Syracuse, nearly 15o miles in bee line. Now the engi- neers are laying out a route from the Niagara plant to Yonkers, a suburn of New York city, distance of more than 300 miles in a straight line.
 That means that the coal-electrlc light and power companies Will nave competition. Then watch the fur ny as between coal and water!

STRIKES COST LABOR
 MUCH MONEY IN 1921

The loss of time due to strikes ln the present year will undoubtedly ex- ceed that of last year, according to figures compiled by tne National h. dustrial Board. The board estimates that at present 1,250,000 workers are idle because of strikes in various in dustries, entailing a direct loss Of ap- proximately 1O,0OO,000 man hours Of work each day.
 There were 2,267 strikes and lock outs in the United States in 1921, says the boards report, or less than any of the five preceding years. The num- Der of strikes brought to the atten- tion of the Bureau of ahor Statistics in 1916 was 3,7S9; in 1917 4,450; in 1918, 3,353; in 1919, 3,577 and in 1920, 3,254. The number of persons in volved in 1,5S7 of the strikes, and 95 of the lock-outs reported in 1921, was 1,OS5,653.
 The total of 1,40O of the strikes and 70 of the lock-outs last year was 6O,- 165 days. The average duration of the strikes, in 1921 was 60 days. Els timating the average wage of the workers in these strikes and lockouts at $200 per day, the total loss of wages alone due to this number of disputes in 1921 would be about 100000. Two and a half times as many strikes occurred in the first half of the year as in the last half, says the report, the largest being that of the marine workers, and embracing all the prin- cipal ports of the United States. Of the total number of labor disturb iances during the year, 1,527 were in the section north of he Ohio, and east of the Mississippi, New York state leading the country With 359, Pennsyl- vania second with 203, and Massachu- setts third with 19S. AS usual, the board states, New York city led among cities with 1S0 strikes and lock- outs, followed by Chicago with S9, Philadelphia with 49, nd Boston with 43.
 "Considered by industry groups, the building trades in 1921 led all others, with 56S strikes and ,ockouts," the re- port says. Printing and publishing came second, with 473 such disturb ances, the clothing industry was third with POP, and the metal trades were fourth with 1S3. In 1920 also the build- ing trades led with total of 511 strikes and lockouts, while in 1919, 1918, 1917 and 1916 that doubtful dis tinction belonged to the metal trades, with totals of 5S1, All, 515, and 547 re- spectively.
 "In the last three years an increas- ingly large proportion of strikes and Iockouts have been settled in favor of the employer, while in the preceding three years, when the war was stili in progress, the reverse was true. This may be said to reflect the declining power of the labor organizations in the period following the war"

How he got here from Eagle might be a long, sad story, the way travelling is on that route now, so Fairbanks will not pry into that sub ject, but he hadn't been in town five minutes before he was perfectly at home and had made friends among the towns-people.

 At the dinner with which he was regaled by Fairbanks citizens, and after the dinner, questions without number were hurled at Mr Prest and he answered them in less time than it took to ask them, continues the News Miner. The only airman in Our Town learned from MT. Prest all he wanted to know about airplanes, and the auto owners learned about engines, spark plugs, magnettos, and all that stuff which the autoists feed on. And the Lone Aviator of Our Town learned that you never can tell what an lair pocket" is go- ing to bring forth.
 Flying over Montana and the Gla- cier National Park, 2,OO0 feet up, Prest was passing over a deep ra- vine when he hit an air pocket such as he had never met up with be- fore. His engine was going, the ship was under perfect control, but it was standing still. Then it began to sink, and in a minutes time it was l just about down. There was nothing for him to do but sit tight and keep his eyes open and act when the time came when he could act, so he did that thing. When about to go into the ravine out of which he could not have escaped, he passed out of | the air pocket, threw her into "high" and scooted for the only piece of level ground he could see-a two- acre clearing of rancher-and made landing within a few feet. To get out again he had to help the rancher cut down trees and make a getaway and then he flew over the mountain to the Soldiers Home.
 All aviators smoke cigarettes, as nerve quieters, and MT Prest av- erages two packages a day. Coming into the Dawson country he was sur prised to find that he didn't have a cigarette in his jeans and the fact got on his mind until it obscessed him. He just had to have a smoke, so leaving the wheel, he crawled back into the tail of the machine running at full speed all the time when he replenished his store. And the darned ship didn't tip ov- er," he said.
 In Glacier National Park he had planned to replenish his cigarette supply, at the Soldiers Home, "but | there were 200 men there and not one of them smoked-can you beat
