PM ALONE OF I73I,A
 VAS" JENKINS EAR''

LONDON, July 22.-The calm ness of British sentiment over the I'm Alone" incident recalls by happy contrast the warlikc frenzy which swept the kingdom at the episode of Jenkins Ear" which led to international conflict 200 years ago.
 Capt. Robert Jenkins aroused the English nation in 1732 when he an- nounced that his ship "Rebecca" had been boarded by Spaniards on the high seas, and that he had been subjected to violence and vile indignities.
 Before fevered House of Com mons, Captain Jenkins dramatically related that the SpaniardS had cut off his ear and told him to take that and show it to King George.
 The Commons and all England were further inflamed by Jenkins reply when someone asked him what he did when the Spaniards thus abused him. What did l do?" said the old salt. T commended my soul to my God and my cause to my countryl'
 His country responded with an putcry for war and for vengeance on the bearded Spaniards. For eight years Sir Robert Walpole, First Minister of George II, suc- cessfully opposed the war clamor, but yielded in the end. English historians today are pro- l foundly skeptical of Captain Jen- kins' story and often call him an l old rogue. It is remarkable that nobody sought to substantiate his story, or disprove it, by peeping under his wig. Some writers even suggest that Jenkins's ears had been cropped in the pillory for some petit crime.

BISHOP LOWE
 IMP RE ESSED BY
 NORTH SCENERY
Thinks Natural Beauty of Northwest Exceeds Any
 thing in the World

Two things about Alaska im- press me above all others, the ab- sclutely compelling gorgeousness of the scenery and the paucity of people" the Rt. Rev. Titus Lowe, Methodist Bishop of the Portland Area. declared after spending ten days in the vicinity of Juneau, Skagway and Sitka. He left on the Admiral Evans Saturday night for the Westward, accompanied by the Rev. Henry Young, pastor of the Juneau Methodist Churc h. They had hoped to go as far as Fairbanks, but owing to the fact that it would necessitate missing the Admiral Evans southbound and the limitation of the Bishops time, Curry will probably mark the northern end of the trip, Bishop Lowe said.
 First Alaskan Trip
 This is Bishop Lowe's first trip te Alaska as he succeeded Bishop w O. Shepard in the Portland Area which includes Oregon, Washing ton, the panhandle of Idaho anc Alaska, year ago, coming to this district from four years in Singa- pore. on the Maylay Peninsula Fishop Shepard is now in Paris France.
 Pleased With Canneries
 Since coming to Alaska I have visited two great salmon packing plants. at Ketchikan and Funtel Bay. They were tremendously in teresting and the result of watch ing the process of canning salmon was to make me all the more read. to eat it. The sanitation ant methods of canning are absolutel. all that could be desired in ever. respect, Bishop Lowe declared.
 T also visited the Alaska -Juneal mill, and was greatly impressed with the solidity that a great mine successfully operating gives to tn town in which it is located. Juneal strikes both the Rev. Torbet ans I as the most substantial tow which we have visited in the Terri tory to date.

that one finds in the tropics. The situation of the natives here is rather discouraging, but believe that the Board of Education schools and the Mission schools are on the right track, and that the way out is through vocational training.
 Another thing which impresse5 me here, and of. course it is true of any pioneer country, is the large percentage of men to the number of women. It is said that it is not good for man to live alone. think it might be good idea for a society to be organized to do as they did when the colonies were being settled, and send outside for women who could help make this a country of homes
 Dreamed of Alaska
 T have always dreamed of Alas ka in the terms of many boats, hundreds of prcspectors coming and going. and the trail of '98. l knew that things had changed that is, I had read it. But even so, it is a little disappointing to find towns with unoccupied homes mines deserted, and so much of the activity a thing of the past rather than the future.
 Coming from the tropics, where people are counted by the mil lions, I am perhaps, more force fully struck by this great country so sparcely settled, than I woulc be otherwise. Singapore, with it. teeming millions, is the only truly cosmopolitan city in the world, Bishop Lowe said in speaking o1 the tropics. Tt is in the heart o1 the rubber industry. the copra in dustry and the worlds shipping 1T the orient. The city is gaining il population at the rate of 100,00i people a year, has one of thu greatest harbors in the world anC the phenomenal development of th' rubber industry in the last fifteel years has made that harbor o the greatest importance.
 Mot only Singapore, but tn whole Malay Peninsula is prosper ous. There is none of the depress ing poverty which is associated witi the Orient Living costs little ant there is plenty of work for all Q the large population.
 No Rain In Juneau
 You don't have rain in Juneau There are districts in Malasia tha have 300 inches of rain in year have seen it rain eight inches il six hours. Everything in the tropic is startling.
