of the articles of war written in the

Denies Ainsworth Inspiration.
I wish you would state emphatically
that | never talked with Gen. Aims

regarding this matter" said Mr. Hay.
The report that he plans writing a
book criticisins former associates, If
the exemption article were enacted, is
untrue, so far as | know
lie has never talked with me about
writing such book. If he wanted to
write book that would subject him
to court-martial he could easily do so,

He says that Willow creek, one of the new creeks discovered last spring, has already produced $1O,0O0 from three claims, and these are be- worked only in a small way. George Reilly, one of the most successful miners in interior Alaska, has leased a number of claims and will put ill a steam scraper next spring. About fifty white men are in the camp and it is reported that there will be enough work for one hundred more men when spring operations begin.

WANTS PROTECTION FOR
 COLUMBIA BREAD BASKET

If an enemy penetrated into the bread basket, known as the Colum- bia river valley, there would be fat picking for a large army. This potent fact has moved the Astoria commit tee on national defense to send out a strong and insistant call for pro- lection. Mir. Harley, chairman of the Astoria defense committee, wants the mouth of the river blocked, even though past efforts have been dir ected toward keeping it open. The Central Hub quotes MT. Harley as follows:
 "sDsaight up the Columbia, and reacAA by a water grade, lies the great wheat belt of the Northwest, where, once established, all invading force could grow fat and prosecute a campaign with astonishing comfort.
 Realizing this and it is incom- prehensible that people should not realize 1t, the question confronts us, what shall we do about it? To this question there is to my mind but one answer.

STEAMSHIP OWNERS
 COMING MONEY NOW

Steamship owners are coining mon- cy these days At least they should be. for never before have such high freight rates been received. Flour, which three years ago went to the Orient for s2.50 and $3.50 a ton. now gets $25 a ton, and there are chances that it will go higher. The lumber rate has jumped from $9 to $30; canned salmon from $S to SIS and 20. Steel has advanced from $3 to $50, possibly more, and there are large quantities of steel moving in the form of war supplies and rail- road material
 Advances on rail shipments from the east to the Orient are high. The same applies on shipments arriving from the Orient. Even higher rates are effective on the Atlantic ocean, say shipping men.
 Powder has a rate of $50 a ton, but the powder rate always has been high. There is more powder moving now
 Steamship men say the cost of la bor. insurance and other operating necessities has increased since the be- ginning of the war. They admit how ever, that the advance of freight rates is greater than the increase in operating expenses.-Tacoma News.
