Community to W es tward Exploits Resources and

KODIAK-With the economic depression in the States causing dissatisfied persons there to look elsewhere for better conditions, enterprising residents of Kodiak believe their district has an ex- cellent chance of increasing its population and developing it's re- sources. The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce has issued a pamphlet setting forth the splendid oppor- tunities awaiting settlers in that area. The Chamber says:
 Beef and dairy cattle have been successfully raised on Kcdlak Is- land, also sheep
 Several Small Ranches
 eThers are several small ranches now with an aggregate of probably 300 head of cattle and 1000 of sheep. The climate is such that stock can graze most of the year, and some years with open winters, very little feeding has to be done. Bulletins have been issued by the Department of Agriculture on this subject.
 Freight rates from Seattle to Ko- diak on live stock, as quoted by the Pacific Steamship Company with head office in Seattle, are

 Among them are Ad Brennan, former Philadelphia Nationals south-paw, and Charles (Kid Nic- hols, o1dtime National pitcher.

For several years 1.-the artist was a crack pitcher and shortstop on amateur clubs. Goodman and Joe Dynan, CO., 1 founder and president of the leagu l decided that the age limit should

REED COMBATS
CANCELLING
Of DEBTS
BY JAMES A. REED
Former Senator,

Presidential Nomination.

1Gissouri's Candidate for the Democratic
Presidential Nomination.
Copyright, 1882. by International
News Service)
CHICAGO, June 81 UN.SO
The Democratic party has come
to a crossroads. 1t will be a
party destroyed if it surrenders
to the internationalist interests
now seeking to control its 1882
platform and put an interna-
tionalist in the White House.
The Democracy's chance Of
victory in November. now bright
as the mornings sun, will he
shrouded with the black mantle
of despair if this insidious c1m
paign succeeds. There must be
no Endorsement of the World
Court and no hint at cancellation
of the war debts owed the Amer
Acan people in our platform, If
we hope to win.
"Sheer IdiOcy"
To say we will not go into the
League of Nations and then to
say we shall submit the rights
of the United States to a
tribunal, created by a body we
refused to join, is sheer iuiocy
and borders on disloyalty.
The first essential of just
court is that it should act under
laws. There is no law governing
the World Court, except the
rules of the League of Nations
in which we have no voice. And
secondly, the representatives Of
foreign nations sitting upon this
board have a direct interest in
its decisions.
To illustrate, if question
should arise with reference to
the international indebtedness,
all our former associates in the
war, including probably all our
former enemies, would be inter,
eSted in cancelling the debts
owed the United States. On such
an issue, it would be a mockery
to ask justice in the name of
America.
Hits Debt Cancelling
Any talk of cancelling our
foreign debts, when we are
unable to pay our own bills, is
equivalent to asking the United
States to burden its taxpayers
with an Indebtedness of SILL
100000 and an annual pay.
ment of over $500,000,000 of
interest.
The man who will propose a
thing of that kind is mighty
poor American citizen or possesses
mighty poor judgment. The
American people will destroy any
party-our great Democratic
party, even-that dares declare
for such an outrageous burden on
their empty pocketbooks.
What Democracy needs is a
platform. upholding American
ideals and extolling the historic
policies of Thomas Jeffers-n, and
the nomination of a candidate
who will be an American Presi
dent, thinking eternally in terms
Of America. An internationalist
will = a calamity to the party if
nominated and a catastrophe to
the country if elected.
We might as well understand
the United States should take
care of itself and it's own starv.
ing millions of citizens and not
act as a guardian for Europe.

Other large vessels, many of them
measuring 450 feet in length, have
passed through the waterway in
recent years, but these have all
been towed and not under their
own power. Most of these large
vessels were among those being
towed to Baltimore for scrapping,
having been condemned. Canal en-
ployes report that lately many
large tankers filled with oil have
been passing through the water
way enroute to Philadelphia from
Baltimore. However these vessels
measure only slightly more than

NEW MARYLAND BRIDGE
Concrete and Steel Bridge Across
SeOtchman's Creek Now Open

SeOtchman's Creek Now Open
The concrete and steel bridge,
built by the Cecil county commits
sioners, across Scotchman's creek,
about 200 yards from where the
new Maryland State bridge is be-
ing erected across the Bohemia
River, was opened to traffic rec
entity. The new bridge is expected
to meet the needs of the travelling
public in that section for many
years. Work was started on the
structure early last Fall, and when
nearly completed it was found that
one of the piers, due to faulty
foundation, had moved several
inches. The contractors, the Luton
Bridge Company, of Clarksburg,
w. Va, tore out the pier and re-
built it at their own expense. This
resulted in the work of completing
the bridge being delayed some
weeks. Work on the new con-
crete bridge across the Bohemia
River, has been in progress since
last Fall. It will probably take
the greater part of this year to
complete it. It will be more than
quarter of a mile in length. It
is being built by the State Roads
Commission, and the cost will be in
the neighborhood of $290,000.
