Road Commissioners Letter Hon. Chas. A. Sulzer.
 Sulzer, Alaska.
 Dear Senator Sulzer:
 I have your letter of July 29th, concerning the forest reserve fund and the road situation in the First division and was very glad indeed to have it. I already had in mind +C write you at the first convenient opportunity setting forth the req sons for my telegram from Nome and the necessity for some modified tions in our plans unless the ques- ton of the distribution of the For est fund should soon be settled. In the first place let me say that my telegram from Nome was sent simply intended in any sense as conveying q threat or imposing a condition. would not like my attitude m1sun- derstood on this point. You will recall that at our conference III Ketchikan about the Sth of May l stated that I had always assumed without attempting to analyze the law in the matter that the forest reserve fund would, when it should become available, be expended in the rart of Alaska where collected that is for the most part in s. E.

LEADS WORLD
 IN ITS EXPORTS

Washington, Sept. 3 - According to figures made public by the bur eau of foreign and domestic com merce last week, the United states for the first time in history leads the world nations as an exporter
 The figures show that American exports for the fiscal year that end ed June 80 totaled S2,76S, S,6OO,O ,OOO, compared with $2.17O,1OO,OOO for the United Kingdom, the next larg- est exporter.
 This was an increase of IT per cent in the case of the United States when compared with last year and a decrease of 30 per cent for the United Kingdom.
 American exports included do- nestle produce as valued at $2'716'- 100000 against $2,2S9,7OO,OO in 1914, and foreign products totaling s52,4OO,OOO, against $34,9OO,OOO in the preceding year.

, tally freight rates than remote parts of the interior, would suffer less by the delay. When, however, the legis- lature allotted the forest fund in equal parts to the four divisions our board proceeded to make al- lotments of funds at it's disposal, giving what we thought a proper consideration to the legislative ac- uon. These allotments by the roa1 commission cover all the most important projects demanding at- tention in s. E. Alaska, except the Ketchikan road, which was to be taken care of by the forest reserve fund. In other divisions this fund was to take care of certain specified projects; local roads at Fairbanks, the road around Cape Nome de- strCyed by storm and four or five projects in the third division. When the expenditure of the forest fund
  to be taken care of by that fund became an obligation upon our board and 1t was thought best to postpone taking up new projects in s. D. Alaska for the time being. One or two of them may now have to be postponed until next season.

 Owing to the heavy gale that was blowing at the time of start ing with the boat Brook was unable to cross Atlin lake until early this morning, although he made several desperate attempts to do so.
 Piper was a Montenegrin by birth, but previous to coming to the United States had lived in Rou- mania for Il years. He was well known in Skagway and the interior, having been in the north for the past four years. He first worked in the mines around Dawson for one year, for the next two years he was at the Pueblo mine near WhitehOrse, and for the past six months at the Engineer mine. About a month ago he quit work and came ever to Skagway, where he had a number of friends of his own nationality, but had only been here for a short time when he received a telegram from Capt. Alexander, the owner of the Engi- neer mine, requesting him to re- turn, which he immediately did.

society will not permit the building

put to contrary use

from As leading cities in the United
States show that in one month there
were over 100000 attendances upon
evening functions in the public school
buildings of these cities. The bulletin
declares that these figures mean so

activity by persons many of whom
would otherwise have spent that time
in less beneficial or in positively harm

LIVESTOCK FARMING is BEST.

Many farmers make a great mistake
IN hauling off to market all of their
farm products in place Of feeding them
to livestock Grain farmers who fo,
low this foolish practice rob their soils
OF fertility and soon make their FARMS
unproductive and worthless. When a
livestock farmer grows clover. alfalfa
and grain, he draws very heavily upon
the supplies of fertility in the land
This fertility he carries to the barn,
places In the hay NOV, in the silo, or
in the feed bin The cattle consume it
and the waste matter from their bod
les goes back to the soil. This largely
though not quite entirely makes up
for the fertility that has been taken
So nearly perfect is this process Of re-
turn of fertility that In the case Of the
production of butter il takes about
5000 worth of butter to remove so
cents worth of fertility from the soil.
II is for this reason that stock farm
ing is the best kind Of farming to fol
low. The farmer who requires his
land to produce grain and sells that
grain on the market is making the
cheap raw material which other men
manufacture into high priced articles
of general use, such as flour. linseed
oil, beef. butter and pork. and follow
ing the usual course Of economic laws,

"The public character of all func-

the effect of censcring those func-

need When youths and maidens con-
sort in the public school building in

cherished instead of exploited"

pie margins of energy to passive
