 NOTES

Dawson. Dec. 24.-Through an or der recently made by the postofTlce officials of the Canadian government the residents of the Klondke are per mitted to get all classes of mail mat ter from the outside over the trail during the winter. Heretofore, only letters and a smell amount of second class mail was sent in during the winter months.
 Addresses of parcels must pay the gOvernmnet Is cents a pound extra for the additional haul from White horse to Dawson, but this is looked upon as a slight matter. compared with the express charges over the same route.
 Valdez, Dec. 6.-Judge Edmund Smith. a former well known lawyer. who lived here for twelve years, is being mentioned for judge of the Third judicial division under the democratic administration. Judge
  mer but he Is still interested here, and Is a member of the law firm of Smith & Bunnel. It is not known, however. that he has aspirations for the place. and the talk that is being made for him is the work of his friends who know his ability and worth.
 The important matter of giving the women of Alaska the vote as they call 1t in England is a question that bids fair to engage the attention of the territorial legislature when 1t meets next March. At least this seems to be the opinion of a number of Juneau men.
 The city of Seward is justly stirred up over the regulations of the dn- partment which have closed all their coal mines and placed all their tim Der in a reserve. Yesterday on- of the citizens of that city was indicted for purchasing wood from some one who has cut it on the reserve A meeting of the citizens was called to protest to the department at Wash Ington and some fiery speeches were made.
 The Dora. stranded on the beach at Seward. received attention for sev- eral days. On December and 9 both the Mariposa and the Cordova tugged at the stranded vessel, but without getting her off. The Mari posa proceeded to Latouche while the Cordova stuck to her jub and suc- ceeded in getting the ship off and strengthened around on December 13 so that repairs can be made.
 Katalla. Alaska, Dec. 1.-The gov ernment coal expedition which has been mining coal on the Cunningham group of coal claims in the Boring river field. has completed its work. and has sailed on the steamer Yukon for Seattle.
 Eight hundred tons of coal was mined. and it will be shipped to Seat tie early next spring and tested for naval purposes.

HISTORY 0F THE ?. B. LODGE NO. I49 Captain s. F. Hizheim, One
 of the Charter Members,
 Recalls Some Memories. SEEN MANY CHANGES
Little Rock and Pine Bluff Lodges Had Stormy Sailing But Each
 Has Survived.
(Ry Captain s. F. Hilzheim.)

tby Ndpldlu Y IlllLHClIu.J
 Asking me how long I have been an Elk? l opine, it is like asking me- dium aged girl how old she is when she goes to cast her first vote. We'll both fudge a few years.
 Charley Owens and l were charter members of Little Rock Lodge No: 29. l don t remember the date for it has been so long that l am glad I don't remember it. However, when Little l Rock Lodge was instituted. Elkdom was in it's infancy and a Grand Lodge was not then even hinted.
 Thomas Keene, the noted tragedian, was travelling exalted ruler and on one of his annual visits to Little Rock he, assisted by Gus Williams, the not ed German impersonator, instituted the Lodge.
 No. 29, like our home lodge, No. 149, had stormy sailing, but both were composed of men high in political, social and commercial life and both lodges in their lifetime lost their charters But Phoenix-like both rose from the ashes, and today stand the equal of any lodges of the order. The present charter of Pine Bluff Lodge No. 149 bears the date of July 10, 1890, and the following names ap- pear upon it. Sam F. Hilzheim, Ar thur Murray. G. N. Hart, ID. c. Bell, Henry Cook, J. B. Trulock, J N. Scull, c. w. DOHell, J. s. Baily and John M Gracie Ten names were necessa- ny to appear upon the charter, but the lodge had then about forty members. The charter is signed by Simon Quin- Ian, grand exalted ruler, and Allen O. Meyers, grand secretary.
 Personally have seen many changes in the order, but always to higher and better ends. But today the order is one of the most exalted in existance, Seventy-five per cent of all the lodges in the United States owning their own homes. The order is strictly American and the stars and stripes their emblem. There are nearly 1900 lodges, including two foreign lodges-one in the Hawaii and the other in the Philippines.
 The following are members of the grand lodge from Pine Bluff Lodge No. 149: Arthur Murray. s. r. Hilz- helm, k. B. Bloom, w. D. Jones, w: D. Buckner, E. c. Arnold, c. M. Phil- pot, w. F. Coleman, F. c. Bridges, William Nichol, Rufus Arnold, Drew White, M. D. 'McNeill, N. J. Can't IT,, c. M. Nichol, Edgar Brewster and w. B. Alexander, Rev. w. ID. Buckner was grand chaplain of the order and is life member of the Pine Bluff lodge.
 To become retrospective is only saddening. The marble tablets in O,ir lodge room bear names of those who have answered the last roll call, and is growing, growing, growing.

DOing Good Work

The Young Mems Social Club
had an open meeting in the M. E.
church basement Monday evening
at which over eighty members and
visitors were present. Rev. Schenck
of Aurora was the principal speaker
of the evening and his talk was
given in his usual able manner
He spoke at length of the uplifting
influences that can be furthered by
an organization of the nature he
was addressing and his remarks
were listened to with pleasure
Other speakers of the evening were,
Rev. Stidd, Rev. Mapson and Supt.
White. All acquitted themselves
with honors. The High School
band was present and rendered
several choice selections and the
young men of the club served a
lunch of fruit, sandwiches and
coffee. Peter Cardew presided
over the meeting.

Do Not Like Il

Prospective candidates for county
and state offices are opposed to
holding the primary election in
June. The primaries have been
held in September heretofore and
politicians are not keen for the
change.
There will be a large field OF
candidates for the various offices,
1t is expected that more will have
their fling this year owing to the
non-partisan features of the primary
laws and the four year terms OF
Office for all county officers with
the exception of the judge of pro.
bate. The voters will decide on
the length of term of this office at
the next election.
The constitutionalitv of the June
primary law is to be tested in the
courts and the decision is awaited
with interest.

The box and crate industry comes

OUR STATE
Minnesota Has Largest Virgin
Stands Of White Pine

The largest remaining virgin
stands of white pine in the United
States are found in Minnesota, ac-
Cording to a state report recently
published. These, in addition to
the stands of Norway and jack pine,
spruce, tamarack, and balsam fir,
add much to the states timber
wealth and make it contain some
of the most valuable timber re-
sources east of the Rockies.
, The report which gives these
facts deals with the wood using in
dustries of the state and is the re-
suit of cooperation between the
state and federal authorities. The
field Investigations were conducted
by members of the U. S. forest
service. Certain statistics on
present and future supplies of
Minnesota's timber were contri-
buted by w. T. Cox, state forester,
who brings out the diminishing
timber resources of the state, and
advocates measures for conserving
them.
Twenty different wood-using
industries are reported, not count
ing sawlnills, shingle mills, coop
erage, and pulp works, which
are not included in an investigation
covering only manufactured COM
modities.
The wood using industries re-
quire As kinds of wood, of which
20 grow in Minnesota and all but
three are native to the United
States. Two are furnished wholly
from within the state, aspen and
balm of Gilead. II all, Minnesota
uses nearly one billion feet of
material in these industries, and
supplies seven-e lights of this
quantity from within its own
borders.
Thirty-fve million feet of Pacific
coast softwoods, or seven times as
much as from the south, completes
with the product of the coniferous
forests of Minnesota. This Pacific
coast material comes 1000 miles
by land transportation, and is 1000
miles farther away than southern
pine. of which Douglas fir from the
northwest is an active competitor.
