Ministry of Colonies"
When this division was first created,
various newspapers in their news Sto-
ries and editorials referred to it as a
Ministry of the Colonies In the
sense that it is the purpose Of, this
new branch Of the Department of the
Interior to minister to the needs of
the territorial and inSular inhabitants
this designation was approximately
correct. In SO far as the word Colo
MES connotes the Old World idea Of
subject and dependent peoples 1t was
wholly incorrect. 1t is the firm con-
viction of this administration that
under democracy all citizens are free
and equal, as they were declared to be
In our Declaration of Independence
that none shall have a subject or a
secondary status. In a democracy

faith have in recent years beer

the port Of st. Thomas could better
compete with Port Royal in British
Jamaica In securing more ships which
desired to refuel. Shipping for the
year ending June 80. 1884, in this
port has increased so per cent over
the year 1888.
While this program is still in its
early stages it has, in the year and
q half since the advent of the present
administration, already achieved tan
gible and visible results. From the
time of their acquisition by Uncle
Sam, the islands required an appro-
priation from the Federal Treasury
of approximately $250,000 annually
In the first Is years under the Ameri-
can flag this amounted to the not
inconsiderable sum of some three
and three-quarterS millions Of dol
lars. In 1881, the year President
Hoover pronounced them "a poor
house" and declared that viewed
from every point, except remote ma
val contingencies, it was unfortunate
that we ever acquired these islands,

an effective poorhouse." I quote his
exact words. This no doubt uninten-
tionally sighting characterization, the
islanders strongly resented. 1t has
rankled in their minds ever since.
President Hoover further said Of them
at the time: 1.-The people cannot be
self-supporting either in living or
government without the discovery OF
new methods and new resources
1t is President Roosevelt's program
to discover and apply new methods"
and to develop new resources" In
order to. transform the Virgin Islands
into a self-sustaining, self-reDant,
economically stable and increasingly
prospering community.
This program has now passed
through its blueprint stages and Is IN
process Of execution.
For st. Croix, largest Of the three
islands, the program includes the re-
habilitation of local agricultural and
industrial activities which long since
hpsed into decadence. The Public
Works Administration has made avail
able 81 100000 to acquire and recon-
struct an assembled agricultural and
industrial plant. At present this plant
is confined to the eastern portion OF
the island of St. Croix. Already one
sugar mill and 2.200 acres to be de-
voted to the production OF cane have
been purchased, and the people are
again at work. Within a week, some
$4,000 worth of additional land
buildings and mills will be acquired
giving more employment. The Virgin
Islands Co. has been organized as the
Government agency to manage and
operate this assembled plant. The
first unit when functioning fully will
employ 1000 people. This company
will process raw sugar, molasses, rum
and commercial alcohol. 1t will raise
Winter tomatoes and other vegetable;
and supervise their shipment to the
Northern States market before the croE

Long staple cotton growing will be
revived on a small basis. Sisal, the
tropical plant that yields the fiber to
make binder twine, q product hitherto
imported into the United States from
abroad. a product indispensable to our
wheat growers. will be cultivated In
limited quantities.

industry will likewise be revived
More bay trees will be planted. The

Of st. Thomas with bay oil from st.

For the Island Of st. Thomas, whose
superb port in past centuries teemed
with shipping, the Government plans
to encourage and stimulate the tourist
industry. Thousands upon thousands
Of Americans who formerly travelled in
Europe are seeking new fields Of rec
reation, diversion and adventure near
er home. They will find in the Virgin
Islands the attractions which they
seek. 1t is the administrators belief
that many American dollars that have
formerly been spent abroad may well
be expended under the American nag.
The Government Is now completing
the construction of the Bluebeard
Castle Hotel at st. Thomas. The pic
turesque old pirate tower, dating from
the seventeenth century, is the center
of this unit plan hotel located on the
top of q cone-shaped hill overlooking
the beautiful town and harbor OF st.
Thomas. This will create new busi-
ness in the islands and the Govern
ment will gradually be repaid for the

| islanders will secure new source Of
revenue and American tourists a new
resort for Summer and Winter vaca-
tions.
The rehabilitation program, how
ever, in the Virgin Islands has not
waited for these developments. AS
early as q year and a half ago, three
tracts of land comprising 5000 acres
were purchased by the Government
and sold only to residents of the
islands as homesteads. Over 800 heads
of families have entered into 20-year
purchase contracts. These contracts
provided that the Government will be
repaid in full, with 4 per cent interest
| on its investment. The islanders have
been highly successful with this prof.
ect. On July last, when their first
payment was due the Government,
over 80 per cent Of the homesteaders
paid the first inStallment on their
contracts in full and had substantial
cash reserves as q result OF the first
years cultivation. The annual pay
ments Of principal plus interest made
for the acquisition of this land equal
but one-half the sum the homestead
ers had been required to pay when
they leased small tracts from the
larger estate owners. There is still
demand for land, and the Division Of
Federal Subsistence Homesteads has
made available s242 900 to carry this
part of the rehabilitation program

3,0Oo Given Employment.
The general construction program
for the Virgin Islands also has given
employment to over 5000 people out
Of work, who represent nearly one
third Of the islands wage earners.
New school houses now replace the
former decrepit and ramshackle
buildings; new macadam roads have
been constructed as the beginning of
a flve-year road-building plan; hos
pitals have been repaired aud rebuilt,
and other institutions are being re.
constructed after many years when
there was no provision for such re-
placement. The Colonial Council for
the municipality Of st. Thomas and
st. John has assisted the construction
program with the enactment Of a S
per cent internal revenue tax law.
In order to improve shipping, this
local legislature suspended the ton

had reduced this requirement some 81

 OF DETROIT U,
Washington State, After Long Train Ride,
 Beaten, 6 to 0

DETROIT, Dec. 3.-WaShington State College, the team which fin ished second this year in the Pa cific Coast Conference football race, had to bow to a University of Detroit eleven Saturday here, 6 to O..
 The winners were led to victory by Doug Mott, who closed his col legiate gridiron career in a blaze of glory. As a near gale whipped intermittent snow flurries across the field, Mott directed the attack which produced a touchdown in the first quarter for the only score Of the game. Wieczorek, Detroit full5ack, crashed the Pullman, Wash, line for the tally.
 The losing Cougars were handi- capped by the loss of Ed Dougher- ty, flashy halfback, who was in- jured in the University of Wash ington game a week ago On top of that. the Westerners spent most of last week on trains instead of practice, fields.

MAYOR GOLDSTEIN
 HOLDS CITY FORT |.
 ( ALL. BY LONESOME

Boy, oh boy, did Mayor Isadore Goldstein ever have the fun this afternoon?
 Happier than bird dog chasing a flock of ducks all by himself, Goldstein not only was Mayor this afternoon but held such other titles as manager of City Streets, City Clerk and general Head Man.
 You see, it was this way: City Clerk A. w. Henning has been in Seattle for the past two weeks on a vacation trip. He's not due back here until o'clock tomorrow morn ing, when the northbound Yukon touches here.
 And Miss Jeannette Hildre, as sistant city clerk, who's been hold ing the fort" in Jennings absence, at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon leaves on. the southbound Alaska for a three-weeks' vacation to visit rela- tives and friends in Tacoma and Portland. She was on leave during the last half of the day to get ready for the trip.
 So that. put Mayor Goldstein practically Mussolini for the after noon. However, if the truth be known, he merely got himself a good magazine and propped his feet on Jennings desk for a nice quiet reading session.

was of the long hall type and
each room opened out into the

The bedroom had a roomy closet
