 Finland has no desire to fight for or against Russia" said a wealthy Fin nish ship owner who arrived here to- day after escaping from his own country by signing up as master of one of his own ships.
 "Finland, figuratively speaking, is between the Devil and Deep Blue Sea- The people are a solid unit with the national Diet against military participation in the war By the people, I mean everybody, men and women. Women have the vote, too, in Finland.
 "There is not one of either sex wno would not fight German invasion of Finland. But the country wants to do it with it's own army and its own officers. The Finnish standing army of 3OO,OOO men was abolished by Rus sia in 1905. Naturally, then, there is no great good feeling toward Russia. Russia has instituted other reforms. which have not been popular But, with all this, there is no sentiment favoring the Germans. The Films are for Finland first and all the time
 "If the Germans invade Finland, the Russians will devastate Finland just as Poland was razed.
 of the Russians conscript Finnish men into the Russian army there will be serious consequences. am not willing to say that there will be a rev olution but the world will hear from Finland if it happens.
 Practically every factory and al- most every blacksmith's forge in Fin land is engaged in making munitions for the Russians" the ship-owner added. "The people are willing to do this because they are paid for it but they are not willing to shed blood uu- less it is in defence of their own country"
 Finland is suffering a great short age of wheat, and food is somewhat higher, but the country has not suf- fered in comparison with some coun- tries. Russia refuses to pass more than the normal Russian importatiOns of wheat into Finland because it is feared the grain would be sold to the Germans. Before the war Finland imported her wheat from three sources - Russia, Germany and America. With the German and American supplies now nOn-existem, only one third of the normal amount is available.

GOLD CARRIED IN GRAVEL
 IN THE COAL FIELDS

Some of the federal surveyors now in Juneau who ran survey lines for the Nenana and other coal fields in the interior last summer discovered the fact that the layers of gravel con- tain gold. This led to speculation whether these gravel beds might not in time be worked for the gold in them by hydraulicking them and ex- posing the coal at the same time.
 So far as known the combination of a gold and coal mine would be opened for the first time, in case this could be done with profit. - Juneau Dispatch.

TO MEET EVERETT
IN BIG DEBATE

One of the most important events
of the school year will take place
tomorrow night when Lynden and
Everett meet in debate at the High
School Auditorium. This is The
third debate in a series of four and
both teams should be well prepared.
Lant year Everett tied for the Dis
trict championship and is making a
close race for the honors this year.
Lynden is, so far, undefeated this
year, which all points toward an in
tci esting contest.
1t is always interesting to make
brief survey of Lynden's S success IN
debate for the past few years. Lyn-
den has always entered all series
and has never yet forfeited a con-
test. During the Fast four years a
total of eighteen debates have been
held, Lyndcn gaining the victory in
fourteen cases. 1t is doubtful if any
other school in the state has been
as successful for a like period of
years.
Every Lynden citizen should hear
this contest. The team is worthy
of support, and the evening will be
an interesting one.

FRIENDSHIPS.

May the law of Sallust always
remain engraved on the heart OF
your king. Not with the help
of armies nor treasures do king
doms continue to flourish, but
with the help of friends, and
these cannot be gained by force
nor bought with gold; they are
won by acts of kindness and by
fafthfulness." And, moreover,
lit is necessary always to live
In unity with ones own; by con-
cord the smallest things become
great whilst by discord the
greatest are reduced to Dought."
Let him remember the example
of NJ. Agrippa, who thought
much of this precept which alone
may make of your royal master
a good brother, good comrade,
a good friend, a good king. Next
to God let nothing be dearer to
him than friendships. Let him
always implicitly trust the man
he once found worthy of bis
friendship and. according to the
advice OF Seneca, let him prove
his friends in all things, but take
care first to prove himself also.
Slow In contracting
friendships. let him be even
more slow in breaking them
asunder and, II possible, never
let him do so.-Petrarch
