Circle. the Koyukuk and Hot Springs. the reports are Go the effect that business conditions in general have improved during the last six months. and general air of op- timism prevails.
 Fairbanks heads the Interior camps by boosting It's output fully half a million dollars: Ruby's production win be a quarter million larger ac- cording to the Ruby Record-Citizen; while Circles output is more than O hundred thousand more than in 1914. Just how the Koyukuk production will compare with her 1914 production is not known. but letters received at this place from there during the last month. indicated that the camp would hold its own and possibly show up a little better than last season With the biz Maniey plant doing well at Iditarod. and the dredges running along smoothly. the output there is slightly in excess of 1914.
 Recent arrivals from the Circle country say that Che Berry dredge paid for Itself during the first few months Of operation. and the outfit is expected to clear up fully hundred thousand dollars to the good. No one knows just what the dredge did. as the management kept as Q secret the exact amount Of the output.
 The output of the Hot Springs country is not known yet but A.. Book. the owner of much ground in that camp stated when in Fairbanks that he was satisfied the production would be fully as large as in 1914
 With all these encouraging reports. the business people and residents oi the Interior are resting easier than they have for several years (Fair- banks Times)

 The yellow metal is but one of the lndices. in fact, the new develop mont has got beyond measurement and settlement thereby The rest of the world Is not much more reluctant Go send us gold than we now ought to take it: yet it keeps coming as to Q magnet. with S50.000000 British gold flowing this week from New York. These gold bars and coins pay for the baser metal that has gone in the form of shells. Since the beginning of che year the country's total Import of gold has exceeded SS000o0.o00. with a prospect of passing Sl0O00O000 with in 1915. What this means is clear from the fact that in the past decade the average excess Of gold Imports over exports has been only Sl2.oO0.- 900 a year
 To this golden current of cash must be added the still larger vol- ume Of credit extended. headed by the Anglo.French loan and newly spple- mented by the accommodation just given to Italy. and the prospects ot special British bankers credit Of s50.0OO.O00 here and nearly as large Russian credit The conclusion of such arrangements would make us, on credit accounts. lenders abroad of not far from bilhon-a full revers- al of the old debt relations

THIS BOAT WILL
 60 ALL PLACES

Picture boat chat is nonsinkable. capable of @ speed of seventyiive miles on hour able to travel over lee or water equally woi. and in pinch capable of lueging off a few miles on sandy beach. and you win have Q conception Of the boat which Edward Manten. of HoQulam. has designed. Mir ] Mantell received his patent from the office in Washington recently. and now has g working mldel of the new style craft at tho Frye Hotel OF ex. hibidon
 The chiei features of Che new boat is the way the power is applied to drive che hull through the water The working model rests principally on the cylinders each nearly as long os the hull and parallel to the hull These cylinders are hollow and carry spiral flonge running from stem to stern The cylinders are turned by the engine and Che curved nange grips the water like worm gear and drives the boat forward.
 Cylinders Support Weight
 In the iour-fooi model which Mr. Aianteu uses for demonstrating the cylinders are i've inches in diameter and support the great part of the weight of the boat Tine hull proper is of little beam. but the superstruc- ture is built out over the cylinders. giving a maximum carrying space. The cylinders turn away from the boat In order to throw out any drift wood or wrockago from Che boat thus making it Impossible for a piece of wood to jay between Che hull and the cylinder and stop the boat
 The nonsinkable feature is claimed by Mir. Mantel on the grounds that the centrifugal force of the revolving cylinders would force the water out of the air chambers even though they were punctured He also declares ! that on reaching speed Of fifty miles an hour tho boat win plane and Just bury the nanges under the surface. reducing friction
 Turn ln its Own Length
 By having cylinders on each side of the boat Mr. Mantel claims that boat so constructed could be made to turn in its length by going ahead ! with one cylinder and reversing on the other
 With his fourfoot model Mr. Man tell claims to have developed a speed l of two miles an houd. with two small ! motors of one-fordeth horse power each.
 He has applied the same idea to a submarine design. with lhe import ! ant exception that the cylinders are l perforated. It Is his belief that when ! turning at full speed the water win ]. bo thrown out and the submarine trav- el on the surface like a racing hy droplane. When Che operator wishes to submerge an he has Go do is to stop the engine and the cylinders win nn with water giving the vessels a descent-(S Seattle P.-I)

WHAT FLORIDA NEEDS

A prominent cattle buyer in Okla
homa is quoted as having recently
made the following statement of
what is necessary to do in this State
in order to make it the banner cattle
raising State in the Union:
Florida offers the best opportuni-
ty of any State in the Union for the
raising of cattle. You have better IA
cilities for raising cattle than any
place in the United States, but the
breed should beimproved and atten-
tion given to the raising of proper
grasses for forage. Your wild grasses
are, of course, nutritious, but not
good for fattening. Your cattle in
Florida are the very best of any in
the United States. In saying that, |
mean that You are better proportion
ed. They are small and clan limbed.
If crossed with another breed The
very best results would ,be-obtained.
I should advise crossing your native
cattle. Florida beef would be the
highest priced beef on the market
and should bring 81 more on the
hundred pounds than any other
beef"

One Cent Letter Rate Strongly
Favored by Cashier C.. NJ. Clayton

termining charges on different class
es of mail are antiquated and un-
scientific, and it seems certain that
a general revision of the postal rates
must be made within thu next few
months.
There are many reasons why let
ter users are entitled to a one-cent
rate. Among them may be men,
toned:
Because the government is MAX
ing about 100 per cent. profit on
letter postage.
Because the department was es-
tablished primarily for the distribu-
ton of letter mail
Because it was never intended
that letter mail should pay profit.
Because one-half of our letter
postage is tax.
Because this tax is not used for
the general expenses of the govern
ment, but utilized as a subsidy for
othCA SAoooNo VI udh
Because it is wrong to tax one
class for the benefit of another.
Because an equalization of our
postal rates will provide better SER
vice.
Because we have been entitled
to one-cent letter postage for the
past ten years.
For the purpose of crystalline
sentiment throughout the United
States SO that this reform can be
brought about, there has been
formed the National One-Cent Letter
Postage Association, of which Chas
Vim. Burrows. Cleveland, is presi-
dent, and George t. Mcintosh,
Cleveland, is secretary treasurer and
manager of the campaign This or
ganization has been in existence for
a number of years and has been
steadily working for a one-cent let
ter rate. Substantial progress has
been made, and it is hoped that def
mite action on this important matter
may be had at the approaching ses-
sion of Congress.
Users of letter postage of the
country. who are now heavily taxed
F., for the carriage of their letters,
should rally to the support of this

arouse interest in the work of this

comes.

sent this matter in proper light,
