LUMBERING IMPORTANT TO
CANADA
Lu a year when depression seized
upon many of Canada's leading in
dustries, among those that assisted
materially to prevent a complete up
set ol the balance was lumber pro
duc'ion. The Canadian Lumberman
has recently issued a most inform
ing special export number from
which It appears that the forest
products that went out of the coun
try for the year ended with last
M irch had a value of $433,386,087.
Lumber in various forms which in
cluded shingles, laths and scantling,
contributed $33,286,34-1 to this
handsome total,, and in the figures
neither pulp nor paper Is Included.
There appeears to be little doubt
that this trade might be greatly .in
creased were It not for lack of
shipping facilities. The war has
deprived Canadian trade of needed
vessels. In this particular the ex
port business is as badly hampered
as that otf the United States.
Contemplation of the aggregat
value of the forest product . ex
Pv.rts of the Dominion in probably
one of the dullest years, generally
sjeakia?, the country has ever
known, is centering the attention of
its thinkers on two very important
rtlated subjects: the necessity 01 a
well-defined and vigorous policy
of forest restoration, and the need
of a larger merchant marine. It
is plain in one instaance that. th«
drain upon the forests must be com
pensated for by tree planting, and
Jn the other that if Canada is to
*uild uj a great export trad© it
must be able to furnish facilities
for t'le exchange of cargoes.
In both the Atlantic and the Pa
cific ports, according to tlie Toronto
Globe. the demand for freight ac
commodation at present greatly ex
ceeds the supply. The lumber trade
is a sufferer from this shortage
and tn»' country fee's the conse
quent loss at a timQ whan expan
sion iu every line of commerce is
greatly to be desired.
This is a good time to Btudy the
troader and the permanent ladus
triaj and commercial requirements
of the North American countries. It
is evident that the war will load
to a readjustment on a large scale
of tacir oversea relations. Both
Canada and the United States are
oonso cus of impending changes, and
loth realize that changes in the
manner of their intercourse with
*he rtst of the world are essential
.ift only to national but to universal
welfare. I
—i
CHANGING CONDITIONS
Perhaps the most remarkable
fact about the supreme court de
cision, nullifying the election laws
in some of the southern states jib
they affect the vote of the nagro
population is the. writing of that
decision by Chief Justice White, a
southern man to the manner born
and an ex-con federate soldier.
In the spirit of the law restric
tions upon the negro franchise In
the south were as Indefensible when
they were enacted as they are now;
but conditions now are not what
they were then. From twenty-five
to thirty-five yeaw ago it was Im
perative with the southern people
that they should deal with the prob
lem of tlie neg-ro vote on the groum
of expediency rather than that of
exact constitutional right. And , it
is also true that the rest of the
country recognized, to a greater or
less extent, the pressing nature of
the conditions and circumstances
which made this course necessary.
Of late years, however, it . has
b?come evident that the conditions
which created the old negro-vote
prcblem have been vastly improved.
Probably in the more provincial
south the fear of negro domination
an ' tug strong prejudice against the
colored man's full participation in
elections is as strong as ever, but
for the most part , there is general
onncesRinti that education has done
I
Its work among the colored people;
and the loyalty of the one race to
g^otf government.and the best inter
ests of the community la no more
to be doubted than the loyalty of
the other. There are Indications
that the race problem of the
south, of which ve once heard bo
much, Is gradually vanishing.

WRITES FIND
"Chick" Boyle, of whose de
parture for the East we made.men
tion a few daj-B ago, has written
the following account of the
troubles experienced by a lady, tour
ist who was on board the same ves
sel with, him when he was on his
way from Skagway to the outside:
"We had chicken for dinner yes
terday, and I will try and tell .yon
how a lady to.urist fought that bird.
"First round—Tourist and chick
en enter the ring in fine condition;
tourist leads with left jab with fork,
trying to upper-cut witn kiuic,
chicken side steps and easily gets
away; tourist -remains cool and
rushes into a clinch, and .chicken
covers up; tourist trys to foul, but
is warned by the waiter; gong ends
rouut' with chicken having a slight
lead. I
"Second roujid—Tourist rushes
to center ol rirg and swings des
perately, .but chicken usee good
ring generalship and easily blocks
all the tourist sends. Fighting
uow is going good and chicken slips
and falls out of ring (I mean
plate); chicken in lead.
"Rcund three snd last—Chicken
advances to middle of plate; tour
ist rushes -»nd swings knife and
fork like a .wild man, jumping
aroui.d the rinij like a flea; . tour
ist, becoming groggy, throws towel
on table as a sign of defeat.
Chicken wins.
"She sat next to me, but after
seeing that battle I took fish.

J1E LED IN PRAYER
An old railroad man was con
verted, as the story goes, and was
asked to lead in prayer. Here is
th>- way he worked it:' "Oh, Lord,
now that I have flagged Thee, lift
niv feet off .the rough road of life
and plant them safelv on the.d60^
of tbe train of salvation. Let me
use the safety lamp known as pru
dence, make all couplings in the
traiu with the strong link of Thy
love. And, 1 Heavenly Father

DECORATIONS
As there is only one more
day in which to do the work It
would appear advisable for
tho people of Skagway to at
once commence decorating, not
alone the business houses and
public buildings but the resi
dences as well, for the coining
celebration of. the national
holiday on next Saturday. If
everyone will do their part thcr
town will present.an attractive
aud patriotic appearance to
visitors on that day.

FROM KIYER IIOTTOM
Having bought copper deposits,
froe gold veins, silver ledges and
coal measures, the Guggenheims re
cently varied their usual mining pro
cedure by closing a deal for the pur
chase of a river, from the botton
of which it.Is expected they will
garner several million dollars In
gold dust and nuggets, says the
Cordova Times. The Yukon.Gold
Exploration company, a Gugsen
h'.-im corporation with a capital of
About J20.000.000, lias bonded 11
miles of Kenal river, near Seward,
The amount involved in the deal is
close to $2,000,000, divided among
a number of different claim owners
bonded for purchase outright and
the others will be.operated under a |
lease on a royalty basis. The tract |
Is regarded as one of the biggest |
dredging propositions in the north-1

Don't OverlookThis
A Careful Perusal Will Prove Its
Value to Every Alaskan Reader
Tbe average man is a doubter,
auj there is little wonder that this
is bo. Misrepresentations make
people skeptics. Here is proof
which should convince every .Alas
kan leader.
E. B. Kain, 2235 J. St., Eureka.
Cal., 6ays: "For almost a year 1
sofferal from weakness in.my back
My condition was very poor and I
was unable to stoop without hav
ing sharp-, kuife-like pains in the
small of my back. At night the
pains bothered me greatly and made
it almost impossible for me to
sle^pu I also had some trouble
with the k'dney secretions, the pas
sages being too frequent. The first
bos of Doan's Kidney Pills brought
great relief and before long . the
trouble was removed."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Kain had. Foster-Milburn

by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused bv an Inllamed condition of the mu

this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the intlanimntion can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi
