 Nr. Wheeler has been busy since his arrival but says he hls found all departments in just as good condition as though he had been right here all the time the various superintendents each being Johnny on the spot" in his respective department.

SEATTLE ASKED
 TO AID LIBRARY

SEATTLE. May 21.-From Council. Alaska, 100 miles northeast Of Nome, on the Seward peninsula. comes an ap peal to the Alaska bureau Of the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce for help in restocking the library of the Arctic Brotherhood. which was destroyed by fire last winter. The letter says
 Camp Council. No. n. Arctic Bro therhood. has just experienced the misfortune of having Q fire in its T.. brary. which destroyed the entire col lection of about 1000 books
 "rhe Arctic Brotherhood Is Che one fraternal organization of the little mining camp of Council upon which deyolves the duty of caring for the social and literary needs of it's people. Good books and good magazines are needed very much during the long winter months and the A. B. library has heretofore supplied the need. Now it is gone and the scanty funds of the camp win all be required to make the necessary repairs on the building its- self leaving very little. # anything. to provide new supply of books
 We know there must be hundreds. perhaps thousands Of people who prob ably would only be too glad to con- tribute good books from their own li- brary if only they knew our need. The difficulty is to set in touch with the ones who would help"
 The Alaska bureau submits this ap- peal Co the people of Seattle. The bu- reau will be glad to receive books and magazines at its headQuarters In the Chamber of Commerce on the eighth floor of the Central building. and will forward them to the Alaska mining camp near the Arctic Circle with Seattle's compliments.-(Seattle Post IntelIigencera

INFLUENCE
 ON TRADE ROUTES

lt is impossible to forecast definitely what will be the changes in trade routes made by the opening of the Panama Canal, the event which is now being celebrated by the Panama Pa ciflc Exposition at San Francisco. cer- tain factors may be outlined howev- CT. which will operate to the great ad- vantage of commercial interests.
 lt may be that our greatest return from the canal will then be found in rapid development of the western and mountain states, or increased mil itary effectiveness, rather than in capacity traffic through the waterway. On the other hand when we strike balance to show the met" of a de- ! cade's expereince, our foreign trade may have found the shorter route a key to long desired marl0ets in Asia, Western South America and Oceania; the trade of Western Europe and Eng land may have paid us an attractive toll in order to reach, by way of the canal, Canada the Pacific States and points in Che far East.
 It is true that distances by water between many important markets are shorter than before the canal existed. Eight thousand miles have been Top. ped from the coastto-coast voyage. China is now about equidistant from New York and London by sea. Port in south eastern Australia. New zea land and Japan are nearer New York than London. With African West In dian and Caribbean ports can be reached more quickly by vessels sail ing from the Pacific coast Nearly six thousand miles have been clipped off the water route from Liverpool to Vancouver The Atlantic Coast ship pers can make new records to cer- tain trade centers in Asia and on the western coast of South America.
 But the workday business of carry iug the worlds goods is not concern- ed alone with the shortest distance between two points and the making oi time records 4 good ireighter usual ly costs more than half a million dol lars. Interest on this investment isl earned by keeping the holds full of freight-and often the longest way ai- lords the most opportunities to pick up cargoes.
 There may be more profit gained in the end when the sailings orders spe- ] cify Alden, Calcutta. Titicorin. colom- bo. Madras, Karikai, Pondicherry Singapore, Manila and Hong Kong than when they name only Hong Kong. ! It is the comparative prohtableness of the alternative routes under working conditions which must finally decide how the trade routes will be shifted | by the Panama Canal
 Changes are already under way, however During August September and October Of 1913 fiity-six per cent. of the freight that left California for the Atlantic Coast went by rail. Sta tistics indicate that year later, dur ing the same three months Of 191t, ! the railroads obtained but thirty.nipe ]
