CANADA HAS MORE THAN 100000
POPULATION.

recent Ottawa dispatch appearing in British
Columbia newspapers says:
Canada has a population of 10,353778 an
increase of 1865 1923 over the population OF
1921. according to the census figures issued
Monday which subject to revision.
British Columbia has a population of
$50 210 The population of the Skeena
district is 306lS. compared with 28934 ten
years ago.
That would indicate a population gain in ten
years between 1921 and 1881 of 1,565,000, slightly
less than the gain between 1911 and 1921, which
was 159200O and considerably less than the 1885,
0o0 increase between 1901 and 1911. The disparity
between percentages of gain for the decades is, of
course, greater than the actual figures
However there has been a substantial increase
IN Canadian population. That country now has
more than ten millions of people a little more
than the United States had in 1920 and two-and-
a-half million less than this country had in 1890
Between 1920 and 1880 the United States gained
S2280OO more than twice Canada's gain in the last
ten years
While the United States gained faster in the
last century than Canada has grown in the cor
responding years of the present, this country did
not begin to take on its real stride of progress
until after it had passed the en-million mark Our
tween 1910 and 1850 it was 6l22000. The next ten
years increase of 8252000
British Columbia showed the largest percentage
of gain of any Canadian Province She increased
from 524582 in 1921 to 210 in 1931-more than
80 per cent She will probably gain two members

Give Fishermen Protection.

American fishermen well within their rights
in demanding that the United States Government
reach an understanding with Canada giving them
the protection to which they entitled.
For years the seizure of American craft in Can
adam waters has been bone of contention and
has resulted at times in strained relations Under
treaty agreement Americans are allowed to seek
shelter in Canadian ports but vessels have
been seized and confiscated while in Canadian
waters. American owners have contended that
such action in many instances was high-handed
vessels by of severe weather are often
driven within the three mile limit
The matter is one that calls for delicate handling
The two countries have been friendly terms
for more than century. There must be a basis
of agreement whereby American fishermen may be
exempt from unjust seizure. The proper officials
should give heed at and initiate negotiations
through diplomatic channels The issue must be
settled.

DECISION OF

Passing of Charles
BY HERBERT PLUNIMER

| WASHINGTON, ID. C., Dec. &c.
Charles Curtis decision to seek
again the vice presidency on ths
Republican ticket in 80 means the
the passing of what has been fire.
quently described as the Curtis
era" in Kansas politics.
1t was an era begun in 1893
when Curtis, then a woung man of
33, came to washington to sit as
member of the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t has been continued
without break up to the present.
If he is renominated by his party
for the Vice Presidency-and at
present it seems that he willard
if the ticket should lose next year,
Curtis political career would in
all probability be brought to a
close
For the first time in nearly 40
years, he would find himself with
out a job. He is not a wealthy
man, and it will be necessary for
him to find one. Unless some niche
in the business world should await
him, he might find it imperative to
accept some kind of federal APP
pointment.
Age Figures In
Should he be reelected Vice
President there is little hope that
he could ever again figure prom
inently in Kansas politics.
Curtis is getting on in years.
After another term as Vice Presi-
dent he would be rs years of age
and age when men either have re-
tired from active politics or are
reluctant to go through the siren
uous task of being elected to Of
flee.
BY that time, too Curtis would
have lost much of the power he
has known in Kansas. A man in
Washington more or less out of
touch with the things that keep
the politicians hold on people, as
is the lot of a Vice President would
naturally lose some OF his vote
getting power.
It is the intimate touch with vot-
ers, the constant watching of po-
htical trends back home that the
politician largely relies on to keep
him in office.
It's difficult for a Vice President
to do these things.
He Knows Politics
But Curtis, who knows the polit-
ical ropes better than the most of
them, doubtless thought about all
these things before he made his
decision.
He didn't overlook the fact that

COAST GUARD ANXIOUS

With several thousand people depending upon the halibut trade for a living and millions of dol lars invested in boats, naturally the United States coast guard is anxious to see the fishing grounds we'll patrolled in order to render assistance when needed" said Cap- tain H. D. Hinckley, commander of the northwest division of the coast guard service with head quarters in Seattle, and reported in the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 Captain Hinck,ey pointed out that already there is a consider able coast guard fleet in Alaska which will soon be increased with more boats. He visited Governor George A. Parks in Juneau and agreed with the governor that boat should be stationed at Juneau all the time; in fact, he so recom- lllC1ISCQ III AILo 1oSG ACpOI ".

 Captain Hinckley said the coast guard service planned to have two boats of the same class as the Chelan stationed in Alaska waters winter and summer.
 The United States coast guard service" said Captain Hinck,ey, fully is alive to he growing com mercial needs of Alaska, and also that only boats of the better class can accomplish any rescue work in the waters of the westward section in time of storm. One must pay a tribute to the seamanship of the halibut boat shippers who brave such dangerous waters. But, as with ohter departments of the gov- ernment, we cannot always accom- plish as much as we would like to do."
