100000 VOTERS

T HE immense registration in Los
Angeles county BODIES no good
Il for the old machine. 1t means
something when nearly 100000 voters
take the trouble to see personally that
they are on the great register. 1t
means that in addition to those the
machine can usually count on a great
number who wear no collar or are not
personally or politically interested in
candidates intend to have a say in af-
fairs. 1t means a large measure of in
dependent voting.
In every city where a machine is
fighting for control a large registra-
tion is dreaded by it. In New York
the relative strength or weakness of
Tammany can be almost infallibly
foretold by the interest taken by the
voters in the personal registration. The
machine has its quota that the boys
deliver" All above that is the in
dependent vote. This rule is a political
axiom everywhere. Therefore look for
things to happen to some states on
August 16 and at the general election
incidentally the registration of about
$4,000 city voters does not disappoint
those who are ambitious for a good
showing in the growth of Los Angeles
The accepted ratio of registration to
population is five to one 1t holds
good in practically all American cities,
and if it holds good here Los Angeles
has close to 100000 population.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-30
THE RAILROAD STRIKE

EEORE than 1900 brakemen, 206d
M conductors and 1900 yardmen
4AA are engaged in the strike on
the Grand Trunk railway. They are
not asking alone for an increase in
wages but for the redress of alleged
grievances. An eight-hour day, better
working. conditions, a full train crew,
white flagmen and trainmen on all
trains and a mileage basis for pas
senger brakemen are among the chief
demands made by these workmen.
Does it seem reasonable to suppose
that this large army of men, proverbi-
ally among the steadiest and most in
telligent in the industrial world,
would be fighting if there was not
some basis in truth for what they
ask? Yet theis employers claim that
there is nothing to arbitrate, and a
vast loss of wages, destruction of
property, and injury to business all
along the line of a great system goes
on with both sides stubbornly ignor-
ing the accompanying disaster to the
public, which is as interested a party
to the imbroglio as either of the others.
Railroads get their rights from the
public upon the implied understanding
that the public's interests will be
served and protected. 1t does not lie
In the right of any railroad managers,
any more than railroad employees, to
say, when an occasion arises like the
present, that there is nothing to arbi-
trate. Such an attitude is arrogance
that entirely disregards the public as
pect of a utilities corporation and it
ought not to be tolerated.
Ordinary Industrial disputes may
be, in a sense, no concern of the pub
l. but in cases like a railroad strike
it ought to be in the power of the
government to compel arbitration and
the peaceful acceptance of whatever
award is mad.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-30

The department of agriculture issues
the following bulletin on the forests of
Alaska:
On the coast of southeastern Alaska
the average annual precipitation Is
about ninety inches and trees grow TO
a large size; in the central plateau the
precipitation is less than fifteen inches,
including the melted snow, and the aV-
erage size of timber is small; while on
the Arctic slope, north of the Rocky
mountains, and the region adjacent 10
the Rering sea, climatic conditions
make forest growth altogether lmpos-
sible, and those vast tundraS are COW
cred chiefly with moss, sedge ana a rev
small shrubs; hence, the discussion OF
Arctic forests in forest service bulletin
81, recently issued by the United states
department of agriculture, Is necessarl-
ly confined TO the southeastern coast
region and to the central plateau, lying
between the Pacific mountain system
on the south and the Rocky mountain
system on the north and east, ana
drained principally by the Yukon ana
the Kuskokwim rivers.
1t is estimated that the total forest
and woodland area of Alaska is ap-
proximately 100000 acres, or about
~ per cent of the land area of the ter
ritory, OF these, about 20,OOO,O0O acres
may possibly bear timber of sufficient
size and density to be used as saw TIM
Der, while the other SO,0OO,OOO acres Is
woodland, which bears some saw UNI
ber, but mostly only firewood.
The coast region has mild cllinates
not colder than the northern part OF
puget sound or of Scotland. The stand
of trees is dense. averaging for con-
siderable areas 25,O0O feet per acre. sit
ka spruce forming about 20 pei, cent or
the stand and western hemlock apout
n per cent. Although by far the most
abundant species; western hemiock
does not produce as large indlVlduai
trees as the spruce or western rou &C.
darNthe former occasionally showing a
diameter of six feet, with a helght OIL
15O feet, and the cedar attaining dam
eters of from three to four feet.
The usual lumber cut in the go coast aso
forests of Alaska is about 2L0O000O
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-30
Alaska's Timber Supply

board feet almost entirely spruce, as
hemlock is but little used, large part
of this output, probably one-third, be-
ing used for salmon cases, and much OF
the best lumber is used in this way.
The southern and southeastern coast
having a much larger timber supply
than will be needed locally for long
time to come, much of the hemlock
should be cut and the spruce be given
an opportunity to increase. The cut
ting that has so far taken place on
the coast of Alaska has had but small
effect upon the forest, the bulk is yet
untouched, and as 1t is now overma-
ture, utilization for other purposes thap
lumber should be encouraged as much
as possible. Both spruce and hemlock
are good pulpwood, and taken together
they comprise almost the entire forests.
There Is faint prospect that, so far as
the coast lumber is concerned, 1t will
ever be needed for use in Alaska.
But the interior conditions tell diff
ferent story. There the forest stand
varies from practically nothing in areas
of scrubby black spruce to twenty or
more cords per acre in the birch aspen
type, and several thousand board feet
per acre in the best white spruce for
ests. The best timber of spruce,
birch and poplar grows in the valleys
particularly along the Tanana, in the
fdlrpanhS ulstIict' hifSh oPt -,
dominates in the more poorly drained
situations. The average of timber is
small, white spruce rarely, and balsam
poplar sometimes, attaining eighteen
to twenty-four inches in diameter; the
white birch and aspen average eight
inches in diameter, though maximum
of eighteen inches on unusually favor
able sites is noted, and black spruce
rarely attains a diameter of six inches;
while the heights of the different spe-
cies run from twenty feet for the black
snrlce to seventy five feet for the best
white spruce. Naturally, it is impossi-
Bile for timber to grow rapidly or to
large size in soil permanently frozen.
Unlike the coast forests, those of the
interior have suffered much from fires;
in some cases ten times as much timber
has been killed by fire than has been
cut for fuel or lumber,
