ited States customs house, aud cold j
figures show that trado between the,
territory and tho United States and,
Canada will be two and one-half
times greater for 1915 than -for
1914.
It is already "by far the 'biggest:
year the territory has ever had, in j
its commerce, 'and tho amount of j
exports and imports may reach three
times the figures of last year be-1
fore tho year is over.
The increase of gold production,
tho development of railroad, agri
culture and forest enterprises, and
the steady gain in population havo j
worked to bring about the doubling |

Ketchikan Miner: According to P.
J. Gorman, who recently arrived
from the West Coast of Prince of
Wales Island, tho run of salmon is
on in that region iu full blast. Mr.
Ooraan is in charge o" the Shakan
cannery, and says they are getting
all tho fish they can handle. This
is welcome news to those interested
iu the canneries over in that" re
gion, as it means that they jrill be
able to get their cans filled up.
Ketchikan Miner: Capt. Gus Nord
of th« Jefferson, reported last
night tns receipt of a wireless from
Capt. Flynn 'of the Redondo that
the wharf at the Scowl Arm can
nery had collapsed yesterday while |
the Redondo was unloading coal on
samt». About forty-five tons of coal
had been discharged when the en
tire outer end of th "structure went
down, taking the coal 5vith it. Capt.
Flynn and his crew assisted those]
at tiio cannery to make temporary
repairs and left them coal enough
to lreeo the cannery in operation.
USEFULNESS.
It is a great satisfaction at the
close of life to feel that you have
lived not for yourself alone, but
that you have been useful to others.
You may be assured also that the
same feeling is a source of comfort
and happiness at any period of life.
Nothing in this world is so good as
usefulness. It tends to the im
provement of your own character.

Great Disasters In Which a Soli

TALES OF NARROW ESCAPES.
Curious Case of a St. Pierre Prisoner
During the Mont Pelce Eruption.
The British Retreat From Cabul—A
Tragedy of the Terrible Manacles.
There are many curious cases on rec
ord where death In one of its many
dread forms of disaster grips au entire
party In Its clammy embrace and then,
while its icy fingers close upon the
rest, lets one solitary member of the
band slip away to bo the sole survivor
of the tragic calamity.
One hundred and tifty-elght dead, on*
saved. That was In brief the tale of
tho wreck of the mall steamer General
Cliauzy, which struck in the terrible
storm of Feb. 10, 1910, on the rocks of
northwest Minorca.
Marcel Bader, the solitary survivor
from the wreck of the Chanzy, owed
his preservation entirely to the fact
that he was a strong and fearless
swimmer.
A few years ago the timber vessel
Anna Itebekka, one day out of Memel,
was caught In a squall and capsized.
Most of her crew were swept away
and drowned, but three—the skipper, a
sailor and the ship's boy—clambered on
to tho keel, where they drifted without
food or drink. On the third day the
sailor was washed off, but the skipper
saved him. Then the boy went mad
and died. On tho lifth day the sailor
was washed off again, and this time
the captain had no strength to help
him. On the seventh day tho capsized
vessel drifted in sight of land. A life
boat put out and found the captain
still alive.
The Manacles have seen many sight*
of horror, but none to excel that Janu
ary night many years ago when two
British troopships—tho Dispatch and
the Primrose—both went ashore on
these terrible rocks •within a few hours
of one another. Seven soldiers strug
gled ashore from the Dispatch through
the crashing breakers and roused the
village of St Neverne. When the fish
ermen gained the beach the Dispatch
had vanished. But there was the sec
ond ship— the Primrose—on tho rocks.
They pushed out, but the doomed ves
sel was shattered to fragments before
they could reach her, and all that tho
boat brought back was a fifteen-year
old ship's boy, whom they picked up
swimming desperately In the trough of
tho icy waves.
Perhaps the most terrible disaster In
modem British history was the retreat
from Cabul In the winter of 1842. An
army of 3.4S0 soldiers, with over 12,000
:amp followers, started southward from
the Afghan capital under promise of
safe conduct On the following Jan.
13 a solitary figure, filthy, unshaven,
unkempt, his mind almost destroyed
with the horrors through which ho had
passed, rode out of the mouth of the
Kliyber pass. He was Dr. Brydone,
the only survivor from all that mighty
host Tho bodies of the rest, slain by
tlie treacherous Ghllzals, lay scattered
for miles along the snovrclad floor of
the defile.

cnusod the disaster to a battalion of a
Japanese regiment in January, 1901.
On the 23d of that month a detach
ment of 210 men and officers, under
command of a major, left the town of
Awombrl for a long route march. It
came on to snow very heavily, and
soon a regular blizzard was raging,
with the temperature many degrees be
low freezing point
They lost their way and wandered
on, burning their rifle stocks for fuel.
By the 25th only seventy-one were left
alive. On the afternoon of the 27th
a corporal alone was picked up by a
relief party, alive but badly frozen.
At the end of April, 1902, Mount
Pelee, the blunt headed volcano behind
St. Plerro, began to show signs of ac
tivity. These Increased until on May
5 a little before 8 In the morning
there was a terrific roar, and a huge
column of whltehot sand, burning cin
ders and poisonous gases came rolling
down the mountain side.
Whatever that cloud consisted of. It
destroyed St Pierre completely. The
very stones were cracked with the aw
ful heut and within a few seconds 40,
000 human beings perished. Tct days
afterward, when the ruins were cool
enough to explore, a man wa» found
alive. He wag a negro prisoner who
had been confined in an underground
sell and who, though scorched, scarred
and almost suffocated, atlll survived—

Two Americans
Abroad
By F. A. MITCHEL
Wilkinson enlisted for the Spanish
American war when he was seventeen
years old, went to Cuba and fought the
dons and returned with his comma nil at
the end of the fracas. When the great
European military conflagration broke
out, desirous of seeing something more
of fighting, ho went to Canada, enlist
ed in the first expeditionary force that
went to England and thence to Franca
Wilkinson was a machinist and very
Ingenious. When the British com
manders learned of this they wanted
him to go Into the mechanical corps of
the army, but he said he had had enough
of that at home. Ho preferred to re- j
main In the ranks, where ho would get ;
something different. 80 he became a !
trench fighter like the rest of them.
But it Is not every man who can got
Just what ho wants, no matter how he j
arranges for it Wilkinson had no soon- i
er got into a fight than he was captur- |
ed and taken to the rear. This was In j
Flanders during the late autumn of j
1014.
One day an officer came Into the pris- I
on whero Wilkinson was confined and 1
asked In English If there were any me- j
chanlca there who would volunteer to
work at bridge building. Wilkinson, !
whose active nature rendered confine
ment unbearable to him, called out that
he was an engineer by profession. The
officer accosted him, asking if he would
agree to give his services to the Ger
man government in good faith. It
turned out that the officer, Captain
Kaufman, was a German-Amerlcnn,
who had gone over to tight for the fa
therland.
Wilkinson and Captain Kaufman t-><
Ing both Americans became quit*
chummy. Wilkinson Impressed the
captain so favorably with his knowl
edge of engineering that the latter pro
posed to take him to the chief engineer
with a view to his entering the en
gineer corps of the German army In a
prominent position. Wilkinson assent
ed, or, rather, pretended to assent for
he was simply looking out for an op
portunity to get back to the army of j
which he was a legitimate part
Captain Kaufman took the prisoner
into an automobile for a ride to a point j
where a large railroad bridge was be-1
lng rebuilt There he expected to find !
one of the chief engineer officers of the I
army to whom he expected to turn over
the American for service. During the |
ride the two men chatted about Amor- j
lea and what they would do there on ;
their return at the end of the war. Nat
nraily Kaufman was warm In his ad-j
voeacy of the German cause, while!
Wilkinson's sympathies were with the |
allies. But they talked little 011 this j
subject for Wilkinson, who had a plan
to get away from his captor, led the j
conversation In a line that would fucill-1
tato his doing so.
~i xeu you wnai we u ao, ivauimnn.
he said. "When this slaughter luisi-1
ness Is over and we both get back to j
the land of the free I've got the biggest j
scheme on hand for making money you |
ever saw. It's a device that may be
applied to all pumping mechanisms.
Its use will be enormous. I'll fake
you In with me and we'll make our
everlasting fortunes. You attend to
the sales while I attend to the mas*
facture—6ee?"
"Where will we get the capital!"
asked the captain.
"Capital! Why, there's capita'
enough In the United States to promote
any scheme If It can be proved all
right I can get millions for anything
I propose. My device Is so sinyile that
a child can understand It Let me have
a pencil and a piece of paper and I'll
make you a drawing of It"
Kaufman had the wheel, so he
couldn't get Into his pocket without
stopping, but they were approaching a
village, and he said he would stop for
something to smoke. Pulling up at a
small store, Wilkinson went in and
returned with some cigars, a pencil
and a sheet of paper. He also had
something elso that his companion did
not see. Lighting up, the two pro
ceeded, Wilkinson making a sketch of
his device. Kaufman, who had no
knowledge of mechanics, did not un-;
derstand it 60 Wilkinson proceeded to
make a practical demonstration. Roll
ing the sheet of paper into a tube a
trifle smaller at one end than at the
other, he crumpled a small portion Into
a little ball, which he dropped Into the
tube; then, while the captain's gaze
was on the road ahead, he dropped into
it some red pepper.
"You can't watch the road and my
demonstration at the same time. Stop
the machine for a moment"
Kaufman brought the auto to a stop
and turned his face to his companion.
"This tube represents the pump, and
the crumpled bit of paper inside is my
patent ball valve. The greater the
pressure on the ball the tighter it Is In
the tube. When I blow on it like this
—see?"
Kaufman did not see, because Wil
kinson had blown red pepper Into his
eyes. Wilkinson Jumped from the anto
and ran like a deer till he struck a
road, where he disappeared.
A few months later Captain Kauf
man returned to America minus a leg
that he had last In the defense of the
fatherland. One day whom should he
meet on the street but Wilkinson.
"Hello, captain F said the latter in
his cheeriest voice. "When did yon
get back? Come in here and have a
drink."
The captain scowled for a few mo
ments: *■*—'
