Island Emerges Near Labuan Linked to 1900s Earthquake
In the northwest coast of Borneo near Labuan a new island has formed tied to the quake observed on Sept 21 near Hudat in British North Borneo. Minnesota dominates wheat output at about 80,000,000 bushels yearly, a portion exported to the Dakotas as both states push production. The Associated Jewish Charities of Chicago ban balls fairs and bazaars to fund philanthropy, urging donors to give by ability. Ontario timber policy drives Michigan mills to move to Canada as Canada embraces similar trade logic. Canada’s actions mirror U S generosity in expanding trade and population growth.
