ATHENS. Aug. 29.-The immense forest fires that have swept Greece during the past few weeks have been a source of particular chagriu to Queen Sophie, for the queen of the Hellenes has been the leading figure in the conservation movement in Greece. The barren mountains that three thousand years ago were clade with yerdure have been a text for the queen in her crusade to teach the modern Greeks the need of preserva- tion of the woods and streams. Each year Queen Sophie plants a tree with her own hands as an example 10 the women of Greece.

AE RIAL SERVICE FUR MINING
 CAMPS

An aerial freight service to the dis tant and iao!ated mining camps of Alaska will be rapid development from the proposed aerial mail route, in the opinion of E. Wann of Chisana. Wann is a mining operator of the north who is in Seattle on his first trip out in three years, says the Sc attle Times.
 "The chief trouble with many of the excellent mining camps of northern Alaska" said Wann today, lis that supplies are too high to justify work ing for normal returns. Mining men of Chisana calculate that their raw food, which they prepare themselves costs in excess of $2 per person each day. An ordinary meal at a road house costs nearly as much. Trans portation is the big problem.
 "An aeroplane carrying 1000 or so pounds of freight would be practi- cal means of getting supplies to the distant camps. Where now it takes six days to get supplies from the nearest distributing point to Chsana such an aerial route would make the trip possible in a few hours. I be lieve that if the aerial mail route is successful, the next step will be an aerial freight service"

r LIND FOR TRAIL
 WORK

Secretary of Agriculture D. F. Hous- ton has placed Alaska's allotment from forests within her boundaries for the maintenance of roads and trails in the national forests of Alaska at $4G,2OO.
 The foregoing amount is the alIot- ment to Alaska of her 25 per cent of the forest receipts, which is distri, buted in accordance with the appro, priations of the legislature. However, the amount is much larger than for mer allotmcnts. and would indicate gross receipts from the forest reserves this year of $180,400, a surprisingly large amount
 The government expends each year certain sum for the construction and maintenance Of roads and trails with in the forest reserves.
 If this is AIaska's share of the forest funds it will be divided equally among the four judicial divisions of Alaska, though the receipts are most ly from the First division and wholly from the First and Third.

p ROP OSE PLAN IF FINAN C|NG
 GOV. ROAD

Advocacy of plan for placing a gov ernment bond issue at the disposal of the president for the completion and extension of the government owned Alaskan railroad, was the feature of an address by w. NJ. Whitney, candi- date for representative in congress from the First Washington district. The meeting was under the auspices of the West Side Republican Club of Seattle.
 The plan, MT. Whitney, said. would take the matter of the railroad out of politics. As a precedent for the proposal. he cited the instance of the Panama canal bonds. The hazards of requiring an appropriation at each session of congress would thus be eli minated.
 This will not only adequately pro vide for the railroad" he said, but will minimize the opportunity of per sons to pose as benefactors when in reality they are but professional lob byists. If we have laws retarding the development of Alaska, let us re peal them and enact laws that will not only encourage and stimulate the Alaskan. but which will attract legiti- mate capital and encourage legitimate enterprise"

 WITH WEALTH

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, Aug. 3o.- One man in Porto Rico had in income in excess of $lo0.0O0 last year. accord ing to income tax returns just an nounced by the tax bureau of the in sular treasury. This was the largest single income the tax department dis covered, and it is almost twice as large as the largest individual income re ported to the same authorities the year before, when there was but one income above $50,OO0 taxed.
 Of the largest individual incomes re corded for 1915 there are twenty in excess of $50,00O, and of these twenty. fourteen range between $50,000 and $75.00O; five between $75.00O and $l0O,- coo. and one above $100,00O. Sixty six individuals are assessed on person al incomes ranging between $20,000 and $5o,O0O.
 In all there are 957 individuals and 131 corporations taxed on income, The totaigrevenue amounts to $l20,0O0, as compared with $7TOO0 for the previous year.
 High prices for sugar have been responsible for most of the higgest incomes. officials say, and still larger incomes and more individuals having incomes large enough to be taxed are predicted for the current year.
