Tie jKfuiiou. of the Department
of Comaierto is called, by the
preside: t of a large paper nwiiu
laciniMg company, to th» fact that
there « a serious shortage of raw
ma.trial tor the manufacture of
P-'• r, ir eluding rags and old pa
pers. Ho urges that the depart
ment should make it known that
the cuiltctiug and saving ot rags
auil old papers would greatly bet
i ;■ existing conditions for Ameri
can m i lufacturers.
Something like 15,00 tons of
dift'-ivnt kiuds ew." paper and paper
boa.d arc manufactured every day
m the ! u tod States and a large
prupcr'ic-u of this, after it has
servtd us puipose, could be used
mtr again in some class of paper.
A largo part of it, however, is
e.'ht. jur.icd or otherwise wasted.
Tui-, of e curse, has to l>e replace^
by uv-w materials^. In the early
hiitoiy tf the paper induitry pub
licity was given to the importance
of saving rags. It is of scarcely
1- im;»>rtaace now. The Depart
ing :i ci Commerce is glad tq bring
this martcr to the attention of the
; u! i.c in the hope that practical re
suits may flow from it. A little at
tention to the saving of rags and
old papers will mean genuine re
lief to our paper industry tuid a
diminishing drain upon our sources
of supply for new materials.
Dear old skag. is on the move,
You can note it every day,
Tne buildings that we see utnoon,
Ity night are whisked away,
We must have room tbe builders

To erect our storts and aipart merits
high.
The 'jrictg will be soaring soon,
Will dcufcle they say by the end of
June,
lAure Fortune awaits to fill our
laps,
If we take her tip ami grab the

New fares on the mart each day,
invest ttieir coin with glee,
They see the boom now on the way,
To 'ikagway by the Sea.
Dow a la the bargain basement
one can get a big assortment of
Failure, Disease and Poverty, and
they are all marked very, cheaply.
If you want happiness nature can

aoXOR HULL FOR THOSE
WHO HAVE ENLISTED
A beautiful roll of honor has
been i.repared by the drafting o f
fice of the steamship department
! of the Canadian Pacific R. R. in
I Vancouver, B. C., showing that one
; hundred ;.ud eighty nine men have
J left the local offices to enlist in
the Canadian contingencies for ser
| vices on the confTrient.
A great shortage of m-on was
noticed by Mr. Lowle when he ar
rived In Victoria and Vancouver.
Very few single men are left a:id
j many of the married men have gene
to the front. The call is issued
|and men are flocking to the cola, s
j in patriotic style.

causing one of t!ie roads leading to his
palace to l>e paved with plates of bur

We are told also that Louis XIV
paved one of Hie courts at Versailles
with squares of silver, each of which
had recorded upon It some triumph of
the French arms. In the tenter of the
court stood a large tablet of gold in
representation of the luxurious mon
