OLDEST TREES
IN THE WORLD
FACTS ABOUT THE SEoUoiA
ESTABLISH ITS ANTIQUITY AS
EXISTING BEFORE ARK
my Associated Press,

tby AsSOetuteu fress.t
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-The
great redwood trees of California are
said, in an annual report of the
California Redwood Association, to
be the Oldest living things in the
world Therefore it is surmised that
had Noah taken his cruise in the
ark in the vicinity of California he
could have moored his craft to one
of the trees, awaiting the water to
subside, both because of it's age and
enormous height.
\ The fact that the redwood tree is
SO ancient has been unearthed by
recent scientific researches, which as
certains that General Sherman" in
the Sequoia National park, is ap
proximately ten thousand years old
ut might thus have been the tree to
serve as the hitching post for the
ark.
I 1t is stated that these trees con.
fine their growth to the present lit
toral Of California, but that the older
and larger species mark what was
once the coast line of the Sierra
Nevada mountain range. Those trees
began their growth before the record
OF man began. it is estimated by The
scientists.

MoRE HOUSES NEEDED

Douglas is in need of more modern small homes for rent. Scarcely day passes that inquiry is not made for a house to rent, us ualy for small family At present there are no empty houses that are really fit for human habitaton in Douglas and many that are occupied are not at all desirable but are in use for the reason that there are none better. There is little doubt but that if twenty small houses cottages or bungalos, or modern apartments were to be started now, the entire twenty would be spoken for before completed. Not within the past six months has a house in Douglas that bore a semblauce to fitness as a home remained vacant for more than forty-eight hours after the former tenant moved out And still the demand is for more places to live-any place that keeps the rain off and that is big enough in which to establish family fig tree. Here is an opportunity for someone with money to invest in a paying and steady business. There is no doubt about being able to rent good houses or apart ments in this mans town Another thing, improved property is steadily advancing in price in Douglas

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the same paper that only few days ago presumed to tell Alaska just how she should vote in se- lecting a delegate to congress, just as though what it then practically ordered settled it for Alaskans, is now in sacllcloth and ashes over the result of the primaries in its own state where the very men it most bitterly and vigorously opposed landed the plums. if the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and other papers in Seattle and Seattle in general would attend more strictly to their own knitting instead of endeavoring to dictate the policy of Alaska and Alaskans, she would have more peace of mind and the latter would follow the dictates of their own conscieuces just as they do regardless of the fact that Seattle lies awake while We sleep in her efforts to frame up slates for us. Seattle is a wonderful cty-it has Puyallup skinned mie-and has done much for Alaska. but in the matter of being practi- callv ordered how we shall vote-well that is an inalienabe right about which We are somewhat touchy.

HARD PUT FOR ARGUMENT

ing greater difficulty m preparing cam paien dope" to use against him than has characterised a presidential campaign for many wears Recently, however they dropped on to something which k now be- ing heralded broadcast throughout the coun- try and it is the following extract from a letter which was written by the President to <. NJ. Hastings of the Illinois Manufacturing Association:
 Ut ought to be possible by such
 means (the tariff commission proposed
 by the Eitchin bilD to make the ques-
 ton of duties merely question of pro-
 grcss and development, a question of
 adapting means Co ends, of facilitating
 and helping business, and employing to
 the utmost the resources of the country
 in a vast development of our business
 resources.
 The above is being used by Republicans Go indicate that President Wilson has changed his views on the tariff since he went on record on that question in his cam gaigu of four years ago as opposing princi- plc- on which it was based.
 While there is little in the extract from the Presidents letter to indicate that his view, ou the question of tariff have under gone change we submit that conditions throughout the country have undergone such a change during the past four years during the past two years in fact owing to the European war-that the Presidents slight concession in his letter is wholly iustifi1hlr Wise men change their minds. fools never"
 When the war is over there will have been a number of industries, more or less experimental, started up in America that will demand and should be given govern mcnt protection Among those industries Is that of manufacturing dyestuffs, of which Germany has long enjoyed a monopoly Conditions due to the war have made it im- possible for Germany to supply America with her product and enterprising citizens of the latter country are risbing their capital in the erection of industries with which to supply the demands of their country. When the war is over and Germany resumes ship mcnt of her product to America, the infant industries of the latter should be protected and President Wilson will advocate such protection
 What would our Republican friends think of a mine superintendent or engineer who. after defining a policy on which a property. was to be operated would find that conditions were different from what he had supposed them to be. but would not change the announced policy for the reason that it had been announced? Such mine super iutendent or eugieeer would be accounted fool and he would be fired iustanter 1t is the same way with the government of the United States. It is mighty business in- dustry and must be run as the exigencies of of the times demand and the man who can not meet those exigenccs-the man who can not change his mind on minor details after four years experience and close obser- vatiou-is dangerous man to risk on the bridge of the Ship of State
 Such hair-splitting issues as are being raised as to the Presidents views of the tariff question are all poppycock and do not amount to row of pins with the masses The paradiug of suck silly argument before the public is but evidence of the fact that

The Fairbanks Times fails to see why Uncle Sam keeps large bodies of soldiers stationed throughout the territory when but a small percent of them, those in the Signal Service department, have any work to per form. The Times is not the first to call att tention to this matter 1t has long been a subject of comment. It would be better to put those big, strapping young fellows to carving out trails and building bridges than to keep them in idlcness as they are now kept As it is they are absolutely no good to themselves or to anybody else.
