1HE timber supply is one that is now
agltating the political economists, by
reason of the demand for timber every
where being in excess Of the supply.
One writer on the subject says that "the
forests of Sweden and Norway have
been drawn upon to excess; those of
Northern Russia fail to meet the de-
mands even Of st. Petersburg; the
3O,000,000 acres of woodland in Germany
produce lumber of n poor quality; the
timber lands of Bohemia, Gallicia and
Pennsylvania are not easily accessible;
the shores Of the Adriatic are bare;
Great Britain has no merohantable lum-
Der worth mentioning, and the forests
Of Central Africa are too remote to give
supply. The aggregate woodland Of
Europe is estimated at 500,00O,0O0 acres,
or about 20 per cent. of the area of the
continent"

that beyond free use of the expression
there is nowhere in his statement a
promise Of only 26 feet. That is to say,
channel having depth of 20 feet, not
less than 200 feet in width at the bottom,
with a central depth of 80 feet. The

tiers MS being big scheme among few,

ON THE question OF "side show tickets
this fall" the Washington Star says :
Zone possible element Of uncertainty in
the coming campaign has thus far at
tracted little attention. This is the
presence In the field of at least three side
show parties. In the past these outside
movements have not amounted TO much
in presidential contests, but now, when
party ties are so slack, it may happen
that n considerable number OF con-
science votes may be polled and the
election influenced to material degree
by these tickets. Thus far only five
parties are in the field, but as politics
now runs so strongly to isms," we may
expect before long to have candidates
put up by the red-haired men, the
bicyclists and the left-handed batters'

ut these sins and see them In their proper
light, and many members win have to
answer at the bar OF public opinions

Rev. l.. l.. HOWARD, an Adventist
minister at Brooklyn, denies that that
scot ever prepared ascension robes for
the last day OF the world, and says:
civilian Miller, the first great preacher
OF this doctrine In America, began his
discourses in 1887, but 1t was not till
1913 that he fixed time and that his
preaching was much listened to. He
prepared no white robes, nor did any OF
his followers, and I defy any one now
living to say that he has seen one, or to
produce documentary evidence that one
ever existed. The Adventists who have
separated from other churches are not
very numerous, but there are large
numbers OF them in the orthodox folds,
as was proved by the large attendance
at the meetings In young DR.. Tyng's
church few years ago."

TROUT ORDHK TRAIL.
The Only Route Now Open to tho
New Gold Fields.

Until a few weeks ago the Times
began t. publish the advantages OIL

ANYTHING was known by the g-neral
public regarding this new rolte 10
Coeur d. Alene. But now, a1ter SNOW
ing its directness and entire !'factlc-
ability, and the information havine
. been copied far and wide, the trout
creek route is known all over tne
west. And as the season has advan-
ced it has become more ana more ap'
parent that the really only feasible
way of reaching the new digging is
by this trail. Mr.. Josepheus HaInll
ton and Mr.. johnson, al OLD New
Mexican miner, now Of Eagle City,
came in last Saturday, and gave Us
still better reports from the trail than
we had reason to expect. Miners are
coming and going between Eagle
CITY and Trout Creek almost every
day. and Messrs. Hamilton q Tone.
the owners of the route, have kept
large force of men constantly hani-
mrrinq away until the route Is almost
ready for starting pack trains. we
are Informed that in ten days from
Saturday, 18th, the road would be
clear for trains, and also that stations |
or halfway houses would be estab- |
lished by thai time for the conven-
ience Of travellers, and their safety in
case of accident or storm. This is
good news, not only to people who
desire to 60 to Eagle City, but 10 the
people of Western Montana, because
1t insures us . gateway to the last ana
probably the best of the gold discov-
cries on the continent. Hamilton q
Tone, who took hold of this project
while Others were doubling or hesi-
tating, and spent several thousand
dollars in establishing the route, are
deserving of most literal praise and
aid. They have had force of men
emrloyed nearly all winter cbopping
out the trail, beating the snow, and
building houses. By strenuous exer-
tions they have opened the route at
and have thus given 1t
such an impetus that all eyes are Oh
them and tneir enterprise. The
Rathdrum route and all other routes
are now completely blocked, The
Trout Creek road being the only
with Eagle City.
This route will not only be practica-
BILE in winter, but in the spring there
will be no swollen sire ms to hinder,
while the Rathdrum and other west
ern communications will be effectual-
ly blocked by flooded rivers. It will
be an easy course for employing pack
trains, and Mr.. Johnston states that
railroads are operating in much worse
places than between Eagle City and
Trout Greek. Mr.. Hamilton brought
out bottle filled with coarse dust
and was eagerly questioned by bis
old friends and acquaintances. Be
fore leaving Eagle City he offered
bl65 fer a nugget worth $40, bu6 in
Vain.
Eagle City is well supplied with
but there is q great scar
,ity of picks and shovels, powder and
fuse, and other things needed in

carried on better at this season than
