PORTLAND MEN BEHIND THE
ENTERPRISE WILL START
IN JUNE.
(From Portland Telegram.)
By June 15 the Oregon-Alaska
Steamship company, a new corpora
tion backed by some of the leading
men of the city, will place a pas
senger and freight steamer in regu
lar service between Portland and
i points in Southeastern and South
! western Alaska, making a round
j trip every 15 days. Already a full
* cargo of freight. has been secured
tor her and assurances given that
' her passenger berths will be fully
f occupied.
After the line has been firmly es
i tablished and the business warrants
it, and the present indications show;
that it will, other steamers will be j
added until the fleet, it is declared.:
! will be one of which Portlanders'
| may well be proud
Negotiations practically have been !
dosed for the vessel which will in- j
; augurate the service. W. C- Sears,
j one of the incorporators of the line,,
! has gone to New York to make a :
’ thorough inspection of the craft be-;
> fore closing the deal- If found satis
| factory in all details he will close j
: the purchase the latter part of this j
• week and a few days later she will
leave for Portland
The steamer is particularly noted ■
for her speed, capable of reeling off i
15 knots an hour. She has accom- J
modations for 150 passengers, and j
she can handle 600 tons measure- j
ment of freight at a trip. United :
States steamboat inspectors on the j
Atlantic coast have submitted to the
local company a favorable report on
the steamer, as have others well ac
quainted with her
On the start, Anchorage, in the
Seward district, may be the northern
terminus of the run. She will call at j
any of the intermediate points for
discharging cargo or disembarking j
passengers- A special effort is to be I
made in building up a good passen
ger traffic, making that a feature- j
The reports on that phase of the sit- ;
uation received so far indicate that j
it will he no trouble to get full j
bookings on her every trip- Much of
the travel is expected to be furnish
ed by tourists from the East

FACTS ABOUT
KANSAS‘ON TEL
WATER WAGON
BY HON. ROYAL E- CABELL.
FORMER U. S. COMMISSIONER
OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
(Continued from yesterday )
I was United States Commission
er of Internal Revenue from 1909
to 1913, and it was necessary for
me to acquaint myself in some de
tail with the liquor situation in
Ka rsas- I then learned to draw up
on the vast storehouse of data pre- !
pared by the United States Census!
Bureau, and since the time I resign-1
ed from the Government service I,
have continued my studies of the i
prohibition movement- Consideration;
of the cold facts compiled by the
United States Census Bureau en
ables one to determine clearly wheth
er or not the results claimed for
prohibition in Kansas in reality ex-}
ist
Consider first the Kansan’s claim
that Kansas has a death rate of
”-5 per thousand. United States
mortality statistics for 1912 for the
registration, containing 63-2 per
cent- of the country’s total popu
lation, give a death rate lor the en
tire land of 13-9 per thousand- The !
twelve registration cities in Kansas,
which have almost one-fifth the -
State’s population, are shown to1
have a rate of 14-7 per thousand
or exactly the average death rate j
of all cities within the registration 1
States- The Federal Government
has not accepted the Kansas regis
tration records, which, it is prac
tically admitted, are incomplete; but |
the March, 1914, bulletin of the Kan- j
sas State Board of Health gives the !
1912 death rate for the entire State
as 10.6 and that for 1913 gs 10-60- j
But even 10-60, the Kansas State!
Board of Health rate, is absolute j
refutation of the rate, 7-5, pointed j
to as one result of prohibition in
Kansas. A difference of three deaths
per thousand seems small, and yet ]
it means more than 5.000 deaths a i
year in Kansas.
Of the twenty-three capital cities !
in license States in the registration 1
area, seventeen had a lower death
rate than Topeka (18-5 for 1912) as
follows; St- Paul, 10.2; Madison.
10- 7; Lansing, 11-4; Salt Lake City,
11- 6; Lincoln. 12-4; New Haven, 13-3;
Denver, 14.2; Helena, 14.2; Colum
bus, 14-3; Harrisburg, 14.3; Jeffer
son City, 14-9; Indianapolis, 14.9;
Springfield, 15-7; Providence, 15.8;
Boston, 16.3; Trenton, 16-7, and
Sacramento, 17-6.
The rate of violent death, exclud
ing suicide, for the entire registra- j
tion area of the United States for
1911 was 91.1 per hundred thousand
population, and for registration cit
ies, 95-7. In the registration cities
in Kansas the rate was 123. The
registration cities in thirty-one
States had a rate of deati; by vio
lence lower than had Kansas, and
in only five States did the rate In
the registration cities exceed that in
Kansas. One of these five States
was Tennessee, a prohibition State;
mother West Virginia, which has
since adopted prohibition, and the
third Alabama, which at that time
bad only recently abandoned State
wide prohibitiin.
(To be Continued )
CAPTURED GUNS NEARLY
ALL USELESS!
i
Guns captured in battle are sel- :
[lorn used by the captor, and for a
eery good reason- Take the case of j
the field guns, for example, used by j
present day armies. They all take I
practically three-inch shells, but j
there is a very slight difference in !
the actual diameter, amounting in!
many cases to only few hundredths !
of an inch, which prevents German I
guns, say, taking English shells- The j
diameter of the shell used with the j
Belgian field gun, for example, Is I
2-95 inches, a tenth of an inch small- !
er than that of the German gun.
A Belgian shell would enter the
bore of a German gun too easily,
and it would be imposible to fire it
accurately. If a German shell were
forced into a Belgian gun that gun
would burst when fired, because the
shell is too big to go down the bar
rel- Unless a gun is captured un
damaged. together w’ith a supply of
its proper ammunition, it is useless
The capture onlly means reducing
the fighting pow;er of the enemy.
