PANAMA TRAFFIC

The Panama Canal continues to justify the hopes
of its builders The first three months of 1923 have
witnessed cargo tonnage passing through the water
way in volume approximately 80 per cent greater than
that of the last quarter of 1922 And the trend is still
upward.
Normally the winter months not particularly
big ones for shipments of fruit and lumber bulk large
in the canals traffic. This time it is oil that boosts the
totals The record output of the Southern California
fields is finding this outlet but the gratifying gains
in general cargo proof enough of the canals place
in the worlds trade
Los Angeles leads in the intereoastal trade, with
New York second and San Francisco and Baltimore
trailing. The fruit and oil Of Southern California
determined their order Crude petroleumn--1 143 900
tons of tmade up almost half the nations ntercoast
al tonnage handled by the canal in three-months per-
iod and it all eastbound. Westbound freight for
Pacific ports aggregated only 655,000 tons
These are figures that should crafty those who
live west of the Great Divide, and interest those east
of it,

"AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION"

With the disaster at Mexicali fresh in minds
might be we'll for us to take an inventory of our own
situation and determine whether not such calaml-
ty could happen to city, Ell Centric is particularly
fortunate having efficient fire department under
capable management but this would be of avail
if the equipment at hand inadequate to take care
of the emergency that lies continually around the
corner 1t is the opinion of who are in position
to know that right here main street there
exists fire hazards equally bad those in MeXlca
and that if fire gained sufficient headway 1t could
quickly wipe out an entire block
Our present fire fighting equipment consists of
one pump bought five years ago, and truck that is
used principally for hose cart and bought in
1908. One pump is entirely inadequate to cope with
any except the smaller fires, and if of our larger
buildings should catch fire would fall way short of do
ing sufficient good to them from destruction With
the water extensions that being put IN between
Fourth and Eighth streets on both sides OF Main
it has been estimated that one pump will not exert
more than third the pressure necessary for et-
fective fire fighting.
Let US not passive about this thing but go after
It Immediately and see that have sufficient protec
ton to take of needs. 1t is late to lock the
barn door when the horse is stolen Lives and property
are at stake and do not know where it will strike
next
Fire is a monster which gives quarter, snatch
ing away human life or consuming ones most pre-
cious belongings with equanmity 1t is menace con-
tinually hanging and at best only min
imize the danger.
The matter of a few thousand dollars expended
now may mean the saving of millions of dollars later
on, the saving of human lives, and in many the
prevention of financial loss those who unable to
stand it.
We feel that this matter is of too much Importance
to be tabled and that immediate steps should be taken
to provide means to get the necessary equipment.

FEDERAL DRY LAW SUPREME

Some people, both vets and drys, appear to
imagine that's state refuses to provide laws for the
enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, the
Eighteenth Amendment cannot be enforced In that
state The fact is of course, that the amendment
be- should be and doubtless will be enforced in that
case by the federal government.
The Volstead enforcement act applies to every bit
of American territory, regardless of what that terri
tory may do think about it. Congress egislates for
the nation 1t happens that the dry amendment by its
own terms, is enforceable by the concurrent power
of Congress and the several states If the states neg
ect or refuse to exert such power the duty of en-
forcement is left the federal government and that
is all there is to it.
The federal government can nomore evade its
duty in such than the matter in question
the enforcement of the income tax law the rail-
road transportation law Lack of state cooperation
in prohibition enforcement may make enforcement
difficult, but cannot change the situation.
There is bound to be considerable cooperation in
any event, because state and municipal officials are
sworn to uphold the United States Constitution, and
the dry amendment is part of that Constitution The
worst they do without disoyaty to their oath, is
to refuse to help execute the Volstead Act which
represents Congresss Interpretation of the Eigh-
teenth amendment.

UNCLE WIGGILy AND

Once upon a time, as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping through the woods,
not far from his hollow stump bung-
allow, he chanced to pass the house
where Johnnie Bushtail, the squirrel
boy, lived. And, all of a sudden,
the. bunny rabbit gentleman heard,
coming from the squirrels house,
voice saying:
"Oh, dearl I'll never be able to
go to school this way! What am l
going to do3'
THAT sounds like trouble, -
tho%ght Uncle Wiggily, and, as he
was always anxious to help, he
quickly hurried into Johnnie s home.
Uncle Wiggily saw the squirrel
boy standing in the middle of the
room, and Johnnie was holding i'll
his paws coat.

Longcars. "Why did you say you

Johnnie. 81 have written nice

EMIGRANT GERMANS

German emigration IS above the pre-war average.
In 1913, when German industry at top speed,
25043 citizens left to seek their fortune in other lands
Last year 36527 got their passports. There will be
many more this year.
Those who journeyed overseas in the first years
after the went for the most part to Latin Amer
lea. Now North America is in the lead again, and the
United States is attractive than Mexico, and
than Brazil and the Argentine. In 1922 two
thirds of the emgrants bound for this country
Time was when thrifty Germans, steady, hard
working capable preferred immigrants at any
port. Such times may again, but those who
journey afar nowadays will hardly find the building
of new homes and the making of friends quite

MOLASSES HAS NED USES

HONOLULU, September 19-New uses which have been found for molas- ses, mainly a waste product of the Ha- waii sugar plantations since the enact ment of the prohibition act, are expec- ted to exhaust the supply this year, ac- cording to an announcement made by the Sugar Factors, which handle most of the Hawaiian crop.
 Prior to prohibition, the plantations derived a considerable income from the molasses shipments to the main land which were used for the manu- facture of alcohol. Since then the mo lasses, which has sugar content of one fifth, has been used as fuel or

INDIANS VICTIMS DREAD DISEASE IN e-- tyAF
 NORTH DISTRICTS
TUBERCULOSIS PREVALENT AND CONDITIONS DEPLoRABLE . SAYS RED CROSS NURSE

The physical conditoin of the h. dians in the Seward Peninsula and the lower Yukon regions Is deplorable, according to Miss Ebba Djupe, in charge of the public health work in Alaska for the Pacific Division, Am erican Red Cross. Miss Djupe passed through Seward recently on her way to her headquarters at San Francis co, after spending the summer in the north where she made an inspection of health conditions of the residents, especially the Indians in the interest of the Red Cross.
 The Indians suffer chiefly from tu- berculosis and the majority of the vic tins with whom she came in contact are in a serious state of health, she said. Their manner of living, in try ing to adopt the white mans ways, is conducive to the desease and pre- sents a big problem to be overcome A wide program of education ln ny giene is necessary to restore them to even the first step toward good 1 health.
 Miss Djupe will make her report to | headquarters immediately after her arrival at San Francisco, when the health program will be announced.
 While she spent most of her time looking into the health conditions of the Indians, Miss Djupe also made in- spection of the white children where she visited, carrying out the same pro- gram as it is held in the schools in this district
 Miss Djupe spent some time in Nome and that vicinity and came south from there to St. Michael, thence up the Yukon river to Panama and to Nenana from whence she came to the coast by way of the Alaska railroad
 She is intensely interested in the possibilities for the Red Cross work in the interior and expects to return to Alaska within a short time to car ry on the health program in the in terior district.
 The condition of the Indians in the north has been recognized by the gov ernment of Alaska and with regard to the investigations which have been made by the American Red Cross at the expense of the Jane Delano fund, it was recommended that a govern ment vessel with a doctor and dentist <aboard be ordered to visit the towns and settlements from Kodiak west ward, to administer the sick, in Sen ate Joint Memorial, No. II, adopted at the last session of the Territorial legislature.

thrown into the ocean.

A discovery that molasses may be used as a culture medium in the pro duction of yeast, has created a con- siderable demand recently. It also has been found that molasses makes valuable feed for stock, as it is said, it has about twice the energy value of any other feed tested. These two developments are expected to utilize most of the molasses produced by the plantations.
 The new demand is expected to add approximately $1,OOO,OOO to the in come of the Hawaiian plantations this year.
