sturnp in the same locality had 2SO
rings. This tree had been 125 feet
high. Near Wrangell three Sitka
spruce logs averaged 80 inches in d.

with 262 annual rings. Two examples
OF extreme age in Sitka spruce were
noted in Portage bay between Peters
burg and Juneau. A section of a log
81 inches in diameter taken 25 feet
above the ground had GOO rings; an
other log "a inches in diameter 8 feet
above the ground had 525 rings. Both
were entirely sound.
Logging in southeastern Alaska
employs the crudest of methods. 1t
is now carried on entirely by hand,
though logging machinery was used
in a few earlier operations. Only the
best spruce trees at the edge of tide
water are cut The logs are frequent
ly made the entire length OF the tree,
and are lacked up and rolled into the
water, where they are tied into RATS
and towed to the sawmill by tugs.
The annual lumber cut in the coast
forests of Alaska is about 100000
board feet This consists almost en-
tirely of spruce, since hemlock is but
little used. There are about 25 saw
mills on the coast, at Cordova, Doug
las, Juneau, Katalla, Ketchikan, re
tersburg. Seward, Sitka, Valdez, Wran'
CELL, and other points, most OF them
rather crude in character and OF small
capacity. A large proportion OF the
output, probably more than one-thlrd'
is used for salmon cases, and much OF
the best lumber goes into them.
The southern and southeastern
coast of Alaska has much greater
timber supply than there is any rea'
son to think will be needed locally
for a long time to come. The perma-
nent industries of the region are fish
ing and mining. The mountainous
character of the country will forever
prevent agricultural operations of any
magnitude The total stumpage is
large, much of it overmature, and the
proportion of hemlock too great. The
timber should be cut and utilized as

NO CITY HALL
EVERY WARD IN CITY GAVE Ma
JORITY FOR $4,000 IS.
SUE OF BONDS
BUT WISH OF CITIZENS FOR AUD.
ITORIUM NOT TO.BE
GRATIFIED.

Although every ward in the city of
Bismarck responded to the call Of the
city commission and voted over
whelmingly in favor of the issue of
$4,000 worth of bonds for the pur-
pose of building city hall and home
for the fire department it seems un-
likely that the desire of the majority
will be gratifled and we will not have
an auditorium-nor will we have a
cheaper building than $4,000, for
the supreme court has settled the
question Of voting certain amount
of bonds and actually issuingsa IAN
other amount. That Is the court
holds that II the citizens vote for q
$50 900 building the commission can
not erect an inferior or cheaper build
ing. The reason is plain. A voter
who. wants an audftorium-some-
thing that would forever act as a
magnet to attract crowds and bring
business and dollars TO the city-and
with this in view gave his vote in
favor, of issuing bonds for a smaller
amount Therefore the courts hold
that the council or commission must
either do what the people author
lie them to do in the matter of issu-
ing bonds or the bonds are not legal.
If as it is reported a majority Of
the commission is in favor of using
only $4,000 for a city hall when
$50, 900 has been voted they will be
prohibited from so doing and we will
have no building Of any kind and the
election will ave been fruitless,
1t Is true that some people do not
seem to warm up to the auditorium
proposition-do not seem to realize
or appreciate it's Importance and still
others do not like the idea of so
closely approaching the debt limit in
the face of many other needed i'm
provements. In view of the conflict
Ing opinions it is unfortunate that
there was not two propositions SUBJ
mitted-one for the $50, 1000 bond is
sue and ore for modest affair of
say $4,000 or $4,000. 1t would
then have been possible for the peo-
pie to have had either one or the
other of the needed improvements.
AS it is, it is not likely that we will
have a city hall or home for the fire
department of any kind at present.
There may be found, however, a way
OF getting around the proposition.
At least we should not anticipate the
worst but rather anticipate the best.

$4,000 OR NOTHING.

$4,000 OK NOTHING,
We think it is pretty we'll estab-
lished by the supreme court Of this
state that bonds cannot be voted for
an improvement of specified cost
and kind, and any par, OF the mon
ey raised by bonding used for sep
arate purpose, or an improvement of
a different cost and kind. That is to
say, If the city of Bismarck votes
bonds for a $4,000 public building,
the city commissioners could be re-
strained from erecting $4,000
building or $4,000 building or a
building of any kind or character
that differed substantially from the
proposition submitted to and passed
upon by the voters. This point has
been decided in several cases submit
ted to the supreme court and the
reasons for such a decision are
clear. A voter who wants a $50, 900
building might not want to vote for
building to cost $4,000 or $25 900
or any sum substantially less than
the amount voted for. Thus, in TAX
ing any step that does not conform
to the proposition submitted when
bonds are voted, the commission
would be committing an illegal act
and one that courts would restrain.
1T might as we'll be understood be-
fore as after that this is the case,
before any complications arise.
Members of the commission, we be-
lieve, should be sure Of the legal
phases Of the case before taking any
steps toward the erection of a build
ing differing substantially from
that contemplated when the bonding
proposition was submitted to the
voters.

DRUGGISTS MISTAKE
COST W0MAN'S LIFE

Valley City, Feb. 25.-The people
Of Valley City were shocked Thurs
day morning when they learned of
the terrible accident that had occur
red at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John McFadgen, who reside about
fourteen miles north of Valley City,
and who have been residents Of this
county for the past thirty years. It
seems for some time past they have
not been very we'll, and: sent to DR..
Lang Of Sanborn for some medicine,
he having treated the couple prev
ious to this time and understood
their ailment. '..,x..G
The prescription was furnished and
was filed at the Seigfried drug store
at that place by J. g. Bennett, who
has charge Of the prescription coun-
ter for Mr.. Seigfried. The medicine
was to be sent up on the branch
train. and 1t was necessary. to hurry
in order to get 1t up in time and In
his haste the young man made q
mistake in the amount Of one Of the
Ingredients. The medicine was re-
ceived Wednesday evening at the Nc
oO6OA AOAb0S 6AU OOV4 A004Sok
both Mr.. and Mrs. McFadgen took a
dose Of the same as prescribed, and
in about thirty minutes Mrs. NcFad-
gen had died from the effects Of the
dose. Mr.. .McFadgen. was also very
sick and DR.. Lang OF Sanborn and
DR.. Pray Of this city were summoned.
They hurried to the scene as fast as
their teams could get them there, and
did everything possible for Mr.. Nc
Fadgep. At the present writing he
is reported as resting easy and it is
expected he will recover.
Mr.. Bennett, the unfortunate drug
gist, is now in the custody Of the
heriff and will be held for time
awaiting further developments. The
coroner's jury, consisting of w. J.
Westergaard, Frank. White and L. G.
Moultrie, together with the coroner,
DR.. E. A. Pray, left Thursday after
noon for the McFadgen home, where
the inquest was held.
The coroner's jury found that the
woman came to her death from taxi
ing part of the contents of the bot
tie prepared by Druggist Bennett but
also found that it was not done with
felonious intent and there will be no
prosecution of the young man who
made the error.
