OuANEK8AtE
 I read a short time ago that a prominent wet was afraid that this country would become the laugh ingstock of the rest of the world. Well, there are some things about us at which other countries are not disposed to laugh. They do not laugh at the wages which our in dustries manage to pay. They do not laugh at the standard of living of our working people. They do not laugh at the numbers of automo- piles, radio sets, electric household appliances, and baby carriages which our people manage some way to afford. They do not laugh at the growth of savings bank depos- its, of life insurance, and of build ing and loan associations.
 I do not notice any strong tend ency on the part of foreign-borp workers to shun this country. Our immigration laws restrict the num-
 
 bers who can come. Were 1t not for this restriction, we should have mill lions of immigrants seeking our shores. Perhaps they want to come merely because they find so much amusement. I should not blame them for laughing when they get here. They will have reason enough for laughing when they get to such an amusing country.
 They must find it amusing to get higher wages than they ever knew before. They must find 1t amusing to ride in automobiles of their own, to have money in the savings bank, to have their children in free public schools, and even to go to the nov les instead of to the saloons in teh evening.
 The wives of our own workers, as we'll as those of foreign birth, must find 1t amusing to have their husbands come home sober and not

Impressive Farewell

"A great farewell had been ar ranged and one hour before the time of departure a tremendous crowd had assembled to march the Native band to the c. P. R. dock. Bands were playing, flags flying, and at the head of the march was Commissioner Hoggard, veteran of ficer who has served in many lands, and is Chief Officer for the Salva- tion Army in Canada West. The sidewalks were blocked with the ever increasing surge of humanity adding continually to it's numbers as the march wended it's way to the dock. At the pier such a concourse of people had assembled that it was only with great difficulty the Bandsmen were able to board the waiting s. s. Princess Norah. One of the c. P. R. officials stated that he had seen farewells from Vancou- yer for the past 25 years, but had never witnessed anything to equal the sight which he witnessed on this occasion. While enroute to Alaska the band presented musical pro- gram on board ship, which was ap- preciated by the large crowd of pas sengers which gathered to hear it.
 T feel indebted to the Chamber of Commerce., concluded the Staff Captain, flor the interest 1t took in teh undertaking. It was largely due to it's support that we got a good start and were able to go through with the trip so success fully"

Sightseeing Tour

With a view of making known to the Alaskans the beauty spots or vancouver, a sightseeing tour was kindly arranged, also visit to the SaIvation Army institutions. Con- siderable interest was displayed by the Natives in connection with the visit to the Salvation Army Grace Hospital at Vancouver. They had never before seen so many babies gathered together at one time, and it was hinted that if keen eyes aud loving hands had not been present, the probability is that Alaska would have had an increase of pop uIa tion, so charmed were the Ma tive Bandsmen with the many bright and happy babes which they saw.
 ''The several days spent by the Bandsmen in these cities were cer- tainly busy ones. Early and late strenous demands were made upon them, that taxed them to the ut most. But with all these responsi- biIities, time was found to accept the many tokens of hospitality of the various agencies, who vied with each other in their eagerness to shower kindnesses upon them. On one occasion about 200 Bandsmen sat down to a supper with the AL aska band as the guests.

AVIATION IS GROWING.

Too long have pessimists had their
way in minimizing the progress of avia-
ton, says Raymond C. Willoughby in
Nations Business. Whatever the finan-
clal situation of some elements of the
industry, the strength and Importance
OF the business of flying do not lack for
decisive confirmation. For one thing,
the American Air Transport Association
reports that passenger carrying air.
planes are daily flying 81 1861 miles in
the United States, and are serving
communities on 263 regular Schedules
A year ago the daily total was 81 OPS
miles, and only ISL communities were
listed in the time tables.
Th1rty-nine companies are included
In the report as regular operators, an
increase Of Is in year. The passenger
airways system has grown from ap-
proximately 5000 miles to 32,803 miles
American owned and operated mail
and passenger planes are flying over
12,476 miles of Mexican, West Indian,
Central and South American airways
Nineteen countries are connected to
the United States by air, and planes
are flying more than $4,000 miles in
those foreign services.
More and more, air travel Is becom-
ing a commonplace, as the figures of
the Transport Association eloquently
suggest.
What is not so clear-and is just as
signiflcant-is the evolution of the fly
ing machine into a ship of the air.
With its progress assured by an active
public and private interest. American
aviation Is properly unwilling to admit
any limits to what may be achieved by
it in advancing the safety, comfort and
range of flight.

The primary purpose of the Chad
bourne committee is to throttle an un-
happy situation which threatens to glut
the markets not only of the United
States, but of the world as well. Mr..
Chadbourne, accompanied by two Cuban
producers. is now en- route to Holland
to confer with owners OF the large
Javanese sugar plantations for the pur-
pose OF devising ways and means Of aid
ing the industry. 1t Is expected the
outcome OF this conference will be a
world congress Of all producing nations
to consider restricting production to
actual consumption.
The force of necessity has found a
willingness to cooperate among the
sugar producing countries Of the world.
and 1t is thought those authorizing the
policies OF the plantations in Java will
prove no exception.
Normally consumption in this coun-
try approximates 100000 tons annu-
ally. With Cuban shipments restricted
to 100000 tons, the remainder will be
derived from about 10000 tons pro-
duced annually in the United States,
100000 in Hawaii. 100000 tons from
Porto Rico and the balance from the
Philippines.

SHIFT IN RAILROAD
CONTROL REPORTED
Van SWeringens Believed to
Have Acquired Majority
Interest in C. & E. |.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

SLectal dispatch TO Ine star.
NEW YORK, october 30.-It was re-
ported today that the Van Sweringen
railroad interests have secured con-
Railway Co. and that they will use 1t
as a bridge" between st. Louis and
Chicago for their recently-acquired
Missouri Pacific Lines.
This will be the second road in the
same territory that has changed hands
this year, each serving to round out
railroad consolidation plans. Last
Spring the Baltimore &, Ohio was able
to come to an agreement with Chicago
d Alton bond holders and has since
taken over the management of the
Alton and expects to make it an active
part OF the new system, proposed along
the lines recommended by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Obtained Option.
Under the Interstate Commerce Com
missions plan promulgated last year,
the Chicago g. Eastern Illinois was al
located to the Chicago & Northwestern.
The purpose Of this was to give the
Northwestern line to the gulf, which
would have been reached from st. Louis
over the Mobile 6J Ohio. The North
western never indicated a great deal of
respect for this proposal Last Spring
the Van Sweringens obtained an op-
ton on Chicago g. Eastern Illinois stock
held by the estate of Thomas F. Ryan,
which carried with it the controlling
interest. This option is now said to
have been exercised.
In the past there have been rumors
that the Pennsylvania Railroad wanted
the Chicago g. Eastern Illinois. There
were also rumors at one time that the
Baltimore & Ohio was after it.
The property includes 945 miles of
road from Chicago to Evansville, Ind,
and from Chicago to st. Louis. It pene-
trates the soft coal districts of Southern
Illinois. An important element in its
value in past years has been its soft coal
traffic. Latterly, this business has been
at low ebb. and consequently the earn
ings OF the road for a number of years
have been poor. Last week the S per
cent general mortgage bonds, which
we're created in the reorganization of
1921, sold as low as 36. Since then they
have recovered about 10 points The
next coupon is due on Saturday. Funds
available for 1t are In the hands of the
paying agency.
Traffic Exchange.
1t is expected that under the manage
ment Of the Van Sweringens the Chicago
q Eastern Illinois will receive traffic
from the Missouri Pacific lines at St.
Louis that will help to counter balance
the loss that has been experienced in
past years on business which the road
originated, and that under this arrange
ment the credit of the company will be
materially improved Little doubt is felt
but that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will give its consent to the pur-
chase by the Cleveland group.

New York banking interests to bring
the industry out of the chaotic condi-

This committee evolved plan with

the revenue normally accruing from
the sale being derived through the
issuance of bonds of similar amount
The market strengthened Immediately

Compared with the previous week,
more buyers were registered in the New
