The ordinary head of navigation fr
steamers on the Yimgtsze Is at Ichang,
thousand miles from the const, but
Szechuen, China's most populous prox--
luce, und one oi its richest, lies near
ly four hundred miles further up the
river, beyond the wild bundlt-rldden
country of the gorges.
The use of the hydroslldes on the
upper Yangtsze Is the enterprise of a
French company with headquarters In
Shanghai. A number of these craft
were sent up the Yangtsze from
Shanghai In December for trial runs
on his cargo xssel. On their arrival
at the island, Stella, seeing Crane
refuses to talk to Sanders, beliexlng
that he brought Crane there delib
eralely. She sinks Sanders boat and

the extreme of including herself, si

Hut In a tremendous battle. Crane
believes he hiia killed hii man by
casting him ov r a cliff. Devan saves
ntiuitcir and with the deUvlive the
happy pair sail awy. only to return
later as man aud wife and Join him
on the Island.

Future Belongs to Small City.
It would be rush to conclude from
the census figures that the promem
of a better distribution of population
Is unsolvable. The fact that the small
cities show the greatest gains Is sig
nificant. These obviously penult
freer living conditions tlinii the large
cities nnd nt the same time are free
from tho Isolation qf the village or
the widely scattered homesteads. The
small city In these days prides Itself
upon Its "metropolitan" aspect. It
Is consplcouously up-to-date and pro
vides comfortable living. The temlen-
-i . . ...i. t..fl-
cv of industrial enterprises 10 Mm lo
cutions at a distance from the centers
of population has hail much to do
xvlth the upbuilding of cities of this
type.
Community's Real Worth.
Afler nil Is said ami done, th num
ber of persons residing in a commu
nity bus little to do xvlth its real great-
nes. It's the kind of people It has,
the kind It turns out and the kind of
things It does which bring everlasting
fame In the end.
l'.eciiuse n place Is not as big In
population as Its people bad hoped for
should cause no great regret ; but If
It Is not forging ahead In numliers be
cause of the care It taKcs of Its resi
dents, then there Is reason for stuiine.
