WOOD IS GONE
Banks of Yukon Have Been
 Stripped of Trees
Question of A Suitable Fuol Now
 Confronts tho People of Dawson
 and tho Transportation ComPan- ios- Government to Make Report

But very few people except those who are directly interested in the log ging business along the Yukon river between White Horse and Dawson rca' lize Co what extent the timber ha, been used for both lumber and fuel Few people m Dawson give the ques- tion oi fuel a passing thought, but the great transportation companies are even now experimenting with domestic coal and oil
 Every year the availability of stand ing timber suitable for lumber Is be coming scarccr and is slowly rcccdhg back from the waters edge. Hereto fore anyone could with comparative financial safety embark in the logging business. it being only necessary to fan the trees. roll them into the water and bring them to the market. lt has reached a point now however, when one must be a logger of experience in order to succeed. The camps are becoming more remote from the i.Vcr and where trees could be almost icllcd into a boom the logs now have Co be hauled m some instances a mile or more. before the Klondike strike was made all the islands above Dawson were thickly wooded and it was quite the custom for YukoncrS cnroutc to Forty Mile or Circle City to stop a week or two and cut a small boom oi logs for the mill or for building pur- poses in order to help deiray expen- ,cs of the trip
 The Yukon government has sent l.. \. Bursvash. formerly timber mSpcc- tor on Stewart river, on trip up Co the head waters of the Klondikc to make a report on the amount of tim bcr available in that portion of the country.

There are number of things
called barometers of prosperity
but none are a better guage than
the deposits in savings banks. The
last report of the comptroller of
the currency shows that there is
now on deposit in savings banks
in this country the sum of $780,
100000. The recent great increase
in savings in this country repre-
sents in direct way an increase in
general prosperity, because Ameri-
cans are not generally given to
practicing rigid economy. If they
deposit money in banks it is be-
cause they don't need it in the or
dinary course of life.

What pity! The editors of the
Chicago yellow journal. who were
sentenced to prison by one judge
for contempt of court, were released
by another, on the ground that
harsh criticism of judicial decision
is not contempt of court. That last
judge is likely to have that decision

Convincing proof of the actually
existing prosperity which has grad
ually taken hold upon every line of
commerce in this country can be
found in the status of the coal
market. There is at present
most remarkable demand and an
unprecedented supply. There
have been times when the coal
merchants were crowded as result
of long and costly strikes in the
mines, and there have been times
when, for selfish purposes, prices
were forced up by claiming a
shortage of supply, but the present
state of affairs cannot be attributed
to either the operators or the min
ers. During the year now drawing
to close, work has been continu-
GUS in the mines and the produc-
ton has been greater than in pre-
vious years. Prices have been
good and the demand SO steady,
that with the activity incident to
the great increase in the iron and
steel trade, the mines have been
obliged to enlarge their operations.

American diplomacy has pro-
vided way for an Isthmian canal,
and American enterprise will now
proceed to the comparatively easier
task of construction. For a time
it appeared that the canal would
never be dug on account of the
disposition of those statesmen
whose affection for certain rail-
ways controverted thought of a
canal, and the idea entertained by
simpler minded people that the
project was only a fiendish Euro
pean device for gaining advantage
in the big war that is always COM
ing. But the railroad lobbyists
were evidently beaten, and for the
peace of mind of the war-fearing
persons, the new treaty provides
that Uncle Sam may fortify the
canal al he sees fit. So it now
looks as if the greatest enterprise
of modern times will soon be CON-
menced.
