that the hard times have been a real
blessing in disguise; for without them

In the hearing Saturday, Justice Bald
win gave judgment in favor of the
supervisor. Other suits will be
brought and the cases be appealed in
order to get the question settled.
While it seems reasonable that those
claiming residence and the right to
vote in Shelton should pay their poll
tax here, still it is not right to solicit
taxes from everybody, as has been
done in the past. The council recent.
ly instructed the Marshal to prevent
the practice as for as possible, as it

Ready Made Houses.

Touchdown or ready-made houses
ought to be in demand in Alaska this
year. Lumber is worth from 500 to
$3.50 per ], 200 TT. at Circle City and
other places on the Yukon, and the
most primitive method whip-sawing
lis employed in cutting up the small
trees in that region. A compact
knock-down house ought, therefore,
to find ready sale in that region, es-
pecially during the present mining
boom. It is estimated that 10000
miners will work the Yukon river
tributaries this year, and as the ma
jority will have to stay from one tc
three years domicile is necessity
and the ready-made house ought to
fill the proverbial "long-felt want" :
There is also good field in Japan
according to the Yokohama Eastern
World. That journal, copying an
article anent the experiment of the
Kerry Lumber Co., of Seattle, in send
ing knock-down house to Japan,
from the Seattle Trade Register, and
duly mentioned in the Pacific Lumber
Trade Journal at the time, says: (giv-
ing the article.)
There ought to be. an excellent field
in South Africa for these cheap houses,
and in Australia and other mining
countries, where cheap, movable
houses are needed and where lumber
is abnormally high. In this country
the mining districts of the western
states and British Columbia afford a
good field for enterprising lumbermen
who will construct knock-down houses.

GWhat are Normal Tines!

Under this head, and answering the
question it asks, E. V. Smalley contri-
butes to the current number of the
Forum an article that merits consider
able attention. The assumption that
we are about to enter upon an era OF
relatively good times is general, and it
is supported by many probabilities
that lend encouragement to the belief.
But when Mr.. Smalley points out,
with obvious reason, that the country
is likely to be brought face to face
with political agitation that arises
and feds upon disappointment at the
failure of the old boom times to come
back as scheduled by over Jealous poll
ticians, he indicates danger that all
thoughtful persons recognize as more
or less menacing. 1t is an unfortu-
nate fact that the times that the peo-
pie have come to regard as normal
were those that Prevailed between 1879
and 1890. On the contrary, as Mr..
Smalley shows these were the product
of purely exceptional conditions. 1t
is not the croaker who delights to for
bode disaster that candidly tells his
neighbor that the return of these times
need not be looked for. 1t is the
prudent man, who is wont to reason
from cause to effect, that takes this
moderate view of the situation.
Tt is cited that, in the interval be-
tween the years nam ed, $4,000 miles
of railroad were built, and more than
1000, 900 people transferred from the
densely populated portions of the
country to the Mississippi valley, the
plains beyond and the Pacific coast
At the same time our population was
increased by the addition of about
100000 immigrants from Europe
new cities were built, thousands of new
villages and towns, of which the rail
road stations in newly settled farming
districts were the nucleuses, were
created, and hundreds of thousands Of
new farms in a highly productive
country were opened. A multitude O.
new manufacturing plants were set w
and vast sums of money were borrowed
of which an enormous amount came
from Europe. Here were all the ele
ments of boom times, and boom times
prevailed. To predict their return i.
to mislead the people, to mislead then
is to add fuel to the fire of their discon
tents and precipitate political agita
ton which the breath of folly will far
into flame when their disappoint
ments assumes an vengeful phase.
1t is very tangible danger that W,
have some millions of voters "wht
imagine that the government can anC
ought to put money in their pockets
that by some con trivance in lawmak
ing it can make farm products higher
