The Alaska and Northwest Mining Journal says: The recent organization 0f a mine-rescue corps at Treadwell, Juneau district, Alaska, is another evil dence of the gradual spread Ofthe mine safety movement. While instruction of coal miners in 6rst-aid and mine rescue has received much attention in the Northwest, notably in the State of Washington, progress in a similar di- rection has not been general in cOnnec- tiOn with metalliferOus mines. How ever, there was a public demonstration and competition in hrst-aid in the Occur d'Alene district, Idaho, last fall, and now there has come from Alaska news of the recognition there of the need of effort for tbe protection of gold miners employed in the big TreadWeil mine. In British Columbia the move ment is fairly we'll advanced, for first sid and mine-rescue instruction has been given at several important metal mines, while at the Le Roi gOld-cOpper mine at Rossland an Organization of Safety Department" with the mine su- perintendent as chairman of the Head Safety Committee, and day shift and night shift subcommittee, with clear ly defined duties and meetings for re- port and consideration of freoommenda- tions, has been in active existence for several months.

The weekly newspaper produces the interest in the town iuwhich it is pub lished to such aU extent that it becomes impossible Co place an estimate upon its worth. There is no enterprise that does SO much for the corporation or the individual citizen as the paper. It stands opposed Co the town kuOcker, the town kicker, the town fanatic and Che town droues. It stands for prog ress against stagnation. It is ever ready to combat the schemes of visiou- aries and as ready to aid the construc- tion plans of wise aud level headed citi zens. It is for the upbuildiuR of the community. The paper has not yet come to it's own, however, because 1t is never appreciated to the extent of its worth by the people at large. Yet when battles are Co be fought for town or country rush is to the news paper office always to find tbe loyal editor ready, frequently without hope of reward. Many other enterprises are encouraged by bonus, but rarely is a newspaper offered any such help and still more often not given the support it is en- titled to. Communities frequently lose sight of their benefactor when they fail to recognize the weekly journal as such. The editor and his paper stand as bulwarks of defense against the attacks of evil or designing schemes affecting the good of the individual or town For these and other reasons the newspaper, town and country, should receive the support of the public at large in a very liberal degree, for it is really the most important business enterprise of the community.-Chicago Tribune.

aChristmas comes bnt once a year aud I'm glad of it" is a remark that we often hear from the lips of self-centered people who, maybe, speak without thinking. Liie's journey is beset with troubles aud difficulties, and we some- times come to the conclusion that the sorrows outnumber the joys. At any rate there are people all around us whose lives are SO filled up with trouble Chat a gleam of joy seldom enters their gloomy souls. Serves them right" " you say. "Life is what we make it." Perhapss but there are SO many who do not know how to enjoy life, many whose lives are steeped in sorrow be- cause they do not know any better. But Christmas brings jOy-real happi- ness, and largely because ofthe custom of the giving of gifts. And the greatest joy is in tbe giving.
 A few years ago there was much talk of @ "Spug," society for the promotion of useful giving. What rot! If gifts are cherished because of their value, the gift has lost its charm, not only to the receiver, but to the giver. If you give Christmas presents only because you consider it a duty, and to please others, you have missed fully one half of the Christmas joy. Be hoDest, give all you can, because by SO doing you will multiply your own joys, and you will realize a deeper joy, and the gift will carry subtle charm that the question of worth or value will not touch.

oKeep Still, Damn Youl''

During the Christmas rush in a Douglas store last week, customers aud clerks were mortified by the above phrase, coming from the lips of a little boy, who held his brother by the hand. After it had been repeated several times, a lady said to the lad, "Dou't swear, boy"
 "Pm not swearing" said the boy. "Pm talking to my brother, and his name is Daniel, and 1 want him to behave. l only said keep still, Daniel"

SHEET METAL WORKERS ALL
READY TO WALK OUT
Sheet metal workers today pre-
senting their own agreement to en-
ployers.
Structural iron workers trying to
settle their differences without walk
ing out.
Carpenters and their employers
will get together late today or to-
morrow to talk peace plans.
Above are the leading develop
ments today in the labor war zone.
Sheet metal workers met last night
and sanctioned an agreement which
is today being presented to contrac-
tors for their signatures. The sheet
metal men will declare strikes on
those contractors who do not sign.
There are 26O Chicago contractors
who employ sheet metal workers.
Thomas Walsh, business agent of the
workers, said today that 200 con-
tractors would sign within the next
"a hours and said there was a good
chance of the contractors accepting
the agreement in body.
The new agreement would run for
three years. No wage increase is
asked the first year. The wages the
agreement specifies are: First year,
68%c an hour; second year, 71Ac;
third years, 75c. ..
The agreement is to apply alike to
inside and outside workers, as at
present. The outside workers were
locked out last Saturday. The in
side workers are still on their jobs,
but will strike unless the agreement
is signed within a reasonable time.
Structural iron workers want
wage increase and jurisdiction over
the placing of steel reinforcements
in concrete. This is now done by la
borers who get 40 cents an hour. The
iron workers get 6S cents an hour.

BRITAIN YIELDS TO DEMANDS |. S.;
 RELEASES GOODS Half Billion Worth of Arti- cles from Germany May
 Come Over.
MOST IMPORTANT
 CONCESSION MADE
Officials at Washington Interpret .ic- ton Indicative Britain Doesn't Care to Remain in Position of Obstruct-
 ing Trade and Asking FavOrs.

Washington, Sept. 24.-cablegrams recelVed by the state department from Ambassador Page at London during the last A hours disclosed that Great Britain has yielded to the demands of the United States that American-cwned goods held in neu- tral ports by the British order in council should be allowed to come through at once.
 This is regarded as the most inn portant concession made by Great Britain to tho United States com merce since the beginning of the war Officials here are of the opinion that Great Britain evidently do:s not care to rsmain longer in the attitude cf obstructing this class of commerce, citizens of the United States.
 According to information direct tc. the state department from the British foreign office, Great Britain has en- powered the British embassy at Washington to receive applications. with proper affidabits and othar proof, and the action taken by the embassy will be final.
 : The state department is now ex- pecting the British embassy, under these instructions, to furnish the foreign trade advisers of the state department. with an agreement in written form. In this shape, it will have all the effect of compact be- tween. the United States and Great Britain, and will not be mersly plan of adjustment with tbe importers, to which the United States government is not party.
 Firm Demand Gets Results.
 The results now obtained are due primarily to very strong representa- tions made to Great Britan by Act ing Secretary of State Polk about three days agc. Ambassador Page was told that the agents of the im- porters in London had cabled the de- partment that the conditions had be- come intolerable.
 The. .Britishembassy, in view of the protest of the state department, in formed the department today it will receive at once applications through the trade advisers for the release Of American goods of German and Aus trian origin now held at Rotterdam by the operation of the order in council"
 The amount of goods at this one place is estimated at about $1o700O,~ GOO. The. grand total held at all the neutral ports Is said to be about $3OO.- OOO,0OO. r1
 The state department announced today it would moi take up with Great Britain the case of the Chicago pack CTS whose goods were seized by a British prize coIrt, until the depart- ment itself has an authentic trans cript of the decree of the British court.
