WHAT'S IX A NAME?
A recent issue of the Seward Gateway contained an extra sheet which
was taken up mostly with a delinquent tax sale list. This list Is not like
the ordinary list which one reads names of all classes and conditions and
from almost every country uoder heaven. This list is made up almost
wholly of Four names. These names evidently represent the founders of
four additions or contemplated additions to the town. Evidently these
auditions did not materialize; the contemplated boom In real estate did not
come, and now the lots are up for sale for taxes. What naturally comes
to one's mind is the query—is this what querred Seward in her desire to
become the terminal of the Government Railroad? Did some one Ret in
side information as to which route was to be chosen, preempt the available
md near the town for additions with the thought of holding up the gov
rnment when these lots were desired for buildings, etc.? The wholesale
- ile of lots by individuals as represented in this list naturally calls forth
; e tbought. if these names represent the jinx of Seward, let's hope ior
nething better ueit time.
JAPAN RESTORES 8HAXGTVXG
Japan agreed to withdraw from Siberia, and from Kiachow and the
- i: stuug province in China. Sceptics said that was all a bluff that she
voiiM never do it. Japan would follow the lead of the civilized nations
i't ■ t> world, once having planted her feet on Chinese soil she would never
v. up. But she has evacuated Siberia; her people and her troops are
w .li'ilrmwn. and her word Lu that particular has been made good. There
It 1:0 getting around that.
Now comes the word that the Chinese flag is flying for the first time
in !-*enty-four years over the government buildings in Kiachow, and the
J;«j- itiese are turning over the province and city to the Chinese. No dem
ons- ation was staged: no fireworks were shot off; no bands and speeches
ma- . d the departure of the Japanese, or the keep.ng of her pledged word
lo ti e Chinese and the nations oi the world. Yet, this quiet leave-taking
is one of the most significant things in Japanese history. This action 011
the part of Japan will probably make her more friends and bring her more
crude in China than if she bad held the province and city which Germany
first wrongfully took from Chins. The question uaturally arises, as to
what Brltaiu and France are going to do about the treaty ports they have
in like manner taken from China—with so far as the records go—no pro
mise and. at present, no prospect or intention of restoring to their rightful
owners. Neither of these nations would think of taking a treaty port
from any other nation and holding it as they have done in China. Japan
has played a strong hand and if It does not make Britain and France come
across and do the honorable thing, it will certainly show them up in a very
rrong ligM, which will lu no wise redound to t eir honor or credit.
Man Must Be Sanguine Indeed Who Sees
Assurance of Peace in Eui'ope
By RICHARD SPILLANE, in Forbes Magazine.
ci ^ u cL5=3 d;
The history of Euro[>e has been one continuous story of war—wai
bred 111 hate or greed, the hattw of racial or religious groups or the greed*
of national groups for power or territory. Thus far there does not seen:
to he any evidence of a purpose to change from the old world system tt
the new, although in the uew world racial or religious hates are few and
of greed of territory there is none.
A man must be sanguine indeed who sees assurance of peace, amity,
and progres' in Europe. When the world war started there were twenty
odd nations .pving the continent. Today they are divided intc
thirty-odd. '1 ..e racial antagoni«u», feuds, and jealousies are as strong
as. f not stronger than ever. If the war ww to put an end to wur rh«
effort, it would seem, was futile, for there is nothing in the situation
today. ev*pt exhaustion of the people, to give assurance against tht
turning once niore of the continent into a slaughter-house.
About the only thing upon which Europeans arc in accord is no!
paying their debt to America and in getting more money out of thii

London. Dec. 12.—When the
Prince of Wales took'up h:« resi
dence at Easton Grey, the country
estate which he has leased tor the
bunting season, he was follower*. by
•cores of persons who had succeed
ed in renting other property in
the vicinity. The announcement that
the Princs would hunt »: Huston
Grey was followed by a, rush to this
lonely section, the houses jnd es
tates which have bees vacant fur
years will again be the scenes of
house parties and festivities.
Precautions have been taken how
ever. to allow the Prince as much
privacy as possible, and the gen"rul
public will be excluded from the
estate. So far no invitations have
been accepted by the Prince, and
he will try as much as possible to
be alone during his vlnii to the
northfl.
Easton Grey lies just outsidf the
old Roman "White Walls," and near
the estate stands the famous abbey
of Malmesbury where the first or
gan built in England was erected,
and the first man to make a flying
machine lived as a monk.
A TROPICAL VALLEY
IN THE FAR NORTH
Now comes Trunk Perry, mining
engineer, with a stary of a tropical
valley in tho heart of the frozen j
North near the Yukon boundary
where boiling rivers so heat the cur
rounding country thut rose bushes
grow to the height of trees, while i
veins of precious metals run Bide by
side to mountains of coal and fierce
bubbling springs of oil
For seventeen years, with only two
pack dogs to carry his equipment.
Perry explored the unknown sub
Arctic regions until he by chance
came upon this vast paradise In tho
midst of snow-covered mountains,
according to a story in the Dawson
News.
The area of the terrain is rough
ly 700 miles wide it lies between the
coastal range and the Laird and Fort
Nelson rivers, and contains factors
hitherto unknown to Canadians.
Crossing a range one winter, and
reaching the crest, Porry prepared to
descend into the next valley when
he was surprised to llnd it was cov
ered with a heavy fog. This valley
was approximately 200 miles long
and about forty w>de. Rivers of hot
'water ran through it, fed by hund
reds of hot springs, which bubbled
out of the ground 'n all directions.
Tho steam from tl.eso being con
densed on rising and forming the
fog which he had first seen from tho
range crest.
Perry remained In the valley and
Its neighborhood for a year, and
never before in his experience in a
game country had He seen so many
wild animals which congregated
there for the luxuriant vegetation
that was made possible by the heat
generated by the springs. In the
valley were hundreds of mountain
sheep and goats, caribou and moose,
witi brars and other fur bearing ani
mals.
' Ulie l» III" e*TO|Hluuaiijr £uuu
grazing tn the valley. Perry states
that the moose and deer looked like
the pictures of the old Norman
horse—almost square from fat—
and they were so tame that he has
been able to walk amongst them.
I and could almost touch them as they
| fed.
I This country is never visited by
I the Indians due to the fact that the
| Imprints of huge 3-toed prehistoric
I animals are found in the sandstones
: and shales; the Indians think these
I monsters still roam the country, nnd
j although they know it to be a hunt
er's paradise they give the valley a
I wide berth. In addition to the
i hot springs, some of which break
j from the ground at a boiling tem
| perature. ti-ere are mineral springs
j of various descriptions.
j The black soil is of a depth which
j Perry estimated at between sixty
I seven and seventy feet, on a clay
I sub-soil, while the tree growth was
I abnormal. The ordinary wild rose
j bushes were like trees, with stems
'as thick as a man's forearm, and so
: dense that it was Impossible to force
I a way through them, while the wil
I lows grew to tree aize nnd It was
possible to walk along the brarihes.
, Some of the trunks of the latter were
j fully one foot and a half through,
vines grew to the length of about
i sixty fe>'t and nettles and ferns were
| both of an unusual height.
During the winter there was no
frost in this valley, and for 25 miles
along It there was open land suitable
for ranching, the width of the bot
tom being estimated at four miles.
In other sections it is a mixed, park
like country which would need clear
ing of birch and willow, but there
are considerable are»» open In patch
es. Perry states that in addition to
the marvels of vegetation the miner
als In this unknown terrain are quite
equal In their unusual quantities. In
different formations, but close to
gether, gold, silver and copper were
found, some of the samples viewed
in Edmonton and brought out by
Perry being apparently rich. In par
ticular he struck three veins which
were particularly gi.od. Those were
about forty feet long, but there are
thousands of others, says the en
gineer. Coal there is. too, with iron
In proximity: of the first named
what practically amounts to a w' ole
mountain was found, one seam meas
uring eight hundred feet across the
strike.
Hoquian, Y."ash.—T. R. Tilly, 51
years old, superintendent of a shin
gle mill here, was killed yesterday
when his automobile slipped over t'. e
gravelly bank of the Hoquiam river.

Al'STIilA HOARDING
AVAILABLE CASH
London.—The people of Austria
are hoarding their money; it would
take £10,000,000 to place Austria
on her feet again financially, ycl
Austrians hare in Swiss hanks at
| amount estimated at £18.000,000.
These statements are contained in
a report made by the British depart
ment of overseas trade on the econ
omlc condition of Austria. In sum
ming up the Austrian situation this
report says:
"The phychological difficulty Is
the prevalent pessimism which in
habits initiative on the parts of tlx
Austrians themsel-es, and makes
theui look solely abroad for salva
tion. Cash estimated to be necessar}
to place Austria on its feet again bj
stabilizing the currency and found
ing a uew bank of issue is aboui
£10.000,000.
"It is an open secret that, despite
the law to the contrary, very much
larger sums in forign currencies
than this amount are hoarded b>
Austriajis, both inside and outside
the country; the amount lying hi
Swiss banks alone has been estimat
ed at £18,000,000.
"But these resources lie idle be
cause the owners have no confidence
in the government or future of th«
country. Probably both the political
and phychological difficulties can be
overcome most easily by financial as
sistance given by foreigners under
suitable control and conditions. The
Austrians, however, must show that
they are ready to co-operate by tak
ing at least the first steps to put
their house In order themselves.
There is some prospect of this being
done at an early date."
