GUT ALASKAN TIMBER
Big Supply Needed for United
States Railroad.
Engineering Commission Is Given Per-
NIT to Take 100000 Feet From
Chugach National Forest for
Use on New Line.

WashingtonL-The Alaskan engi
neering commission, which is to build
the government railroad from Seward
GU the Pacific All miles to Fairbanks
in the Interior has received a permit
from the forest service to cut $4,000
900 feet OF timber in the Chugach ma
tional forest for use in constructing
the new line. The permit was Issued
by the district forester at Portland,
Ore, who has direct supervision Of
the Alaskan forests, and is in con-
| tormity with the act of March 4, last,
! which authorized the secretary Of agri-
| culture to permit the Alaskan engi-
| neering commission and the navy de-
| partment to take from the national
forests free of charge earth, stone and
timber for use in government works.
The timber will be cut in designated
| areas along the right of way Of the
proposed railroad, which runs through
the Chugach national forest for sew,
eral miles. "
Experiments and tests of Alaskan
spruce and hemlock are being made at
the forest service laboratory at Seat.

Alaskan timber is sufficiently strong
for practically all structural purposes.
While these tests are going on forest
service employees in Alaska are
marking the timber to be cut along
the proposed railroad. the cutting to
be done so that only mature trees are
taken, the young trees being left un.
injured and the condition of the for.

This cut Of S5.0O0,0O0 feet will be

operation, and at the average rate per

easily be accomplished is proven by
what has already been accomplished
in some Of the universities.
Need Of Officers.
"One Of the greatest needs Of the
British ard Russian armies at the
present time is their need Of trained
officers to take charge OF the enlisted
men. We should profit by the exam
plees furnished in this awful war new
prevailing in Europe. For defensive
purposes at least We should have an
adequate number of Wel-drilled men,
graduates of our educational institn-
tons who could in case Of war take
charge OF and whip into shape tne
soldiers who would Av to the defense
Of their country's integrity.
Another method Of increasing the
numbers and efficiency of our state
militia could be for the federal gov
eminent to make more liberal appro-
priations for the maintenance Of the
same. On the average the militiamen
in the state of Illinois does not re.
ceive to exceed fifteen dollars year,
and that only when he is in active ser
vice.
''This beggarly allowance is not at
tractive to the ordinary farmer, me-
chanic or clerk.
'All of this should be changed. If a
militiaman We're paid one dollar for
every night that he spent in military
training in his drill hall or arsenal
with a provision that he would re-
ceive no compensation unless he at
tended at least forty nights during
the year, believe that instead of 12o,-
600 militiamen we would have 1901

.F0REsTALLING CHILD LABOR.
Ry FELIX ADLER.

The Squestion is sometimes asked:
why have, 4 National Child Labor
Committee? Why not have state COM
mittees and let these co-operate:"
One sufficient answer to this is that
the appearance Of child labor in those
states in which there is as yet little
or no manufa curing must be fore
stalled. and national committee is
needed to this end. Anti-child labor
laws must pre-empt the ground before
a greedy industrialism can stretch
forth its hands to grasp tile child.
The law Of periodicity, the law Of re-
currence, that has hitherto obtained
in the matter of child labor must be
defeated. England began. Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, New York follow
ed suit The, sameiinconceivable out
RACES on hulnhli. feelings repeat them
selves again and again. Whenever a
predominantly agricultural community
develops into an industrial stage the
horrors exposed by Lord Shaftesbury
tend to recgr. Mankind does not read
ily' learn by experience. The warning
lessons Of the past are often writ in
water. Thus the industrial states of
the north simply stepped into the foul
footsteps of early English capitalism.
and the south: as soon as it became in.
Gus.rial. FASTENED to repeat the same
dolcful story. The great states of the
Pacific and the west must thwart that
horrible law and make it impossible
that the same conditions should there
grow up. That is the one main object
Of national committee.

WILL INCREASE MACHINE GUNS
Thirteenth Company for Every Cav
airy md Infantry Regiment to Form

Unde.. the planS practically agreed on
by the general stan. thirteenth COM
pany for every cavalry and infantry
regiment will be created for the pur-
pose OF Increasing the number Of ma
chine guns. That would give the army
at its present strength about $40 ma
chine guns in peace time and $40 ma
chine guns when recruited up to war
strength.
For some time there has been a be-
lief In the service that machine gun
companies should be added to the cav
airy and infantry regiments. and the
European war has crystallized that into
q conviction
II Is now generally conceded that the
number Of machine guns should be in
creased, and that the present provi-
sional organization of machine gun
platoons is not sufficient for modern
war There are now forty-fve machine
gun platoons in the army, armed with
i've guns each.
Under the new organization II is ex-
pected that the companies at maximum
peace strength will carry twelve ma
chine guns. and eighteen at war
strength. The War Department will
shortly place orders for 100 Vickers
machine guns % the latest models.

Urgent Present Requirement.

Analysis of these estimates develops
that the most urgent present need of
the library is of a larger and better
paid force. There is the same need
this year as last year for new posi-
tions and increases of salaries in old
positions. In urging the necessity for
radical increases in the salaries of the
professional staff of the library fore
most place should be given to our rec
concentration for the payment Of an
adequate salary to our highly efficient
chief librarian. Dr. Bowerman has
Just completed eleven years of serv-
ice here during which time he has lit
orally transformed the library. Over
coming the handicap of meager sal
aries paid to his professional stan. he
has inspired his assistants with his
own earnestness. zeal and spirit Of high
and disinterested endeavor. Through
DIR. Bowerman's efforts our local Ii
brary has been made to rank in the
quality of its service with the fore
most public libraries of the country.
There has been no change in the
librarians salary since July I, 1903,
when it was increased from $3.50 to
$4,000. The library trustees have been on
ecord since 1909 as recommending that
the salary be made $1,000. Until it is SO
