WOOD QUESTION VERY SERIOUS
 IN FAIRBANKS

How is your wood holding out?"
 That is practically the first que ton every tairbanksan is asking his neighbor these cold days. And 1t i, not jokingly asked, as is usually the case when a cold spell comes along. for the fact of the matter IS that Fairbanks is facing a WOOL shortage unprecedented in her his try. As far as can be learned, Il suffering has yet been caused b he wood shortage, but the WOO situation is expected to become acul W.th.n d week unles the Weatht llrns warm enough to permit t.. teamsters to take their horses ou the stables and start hauling. U the nearest available wood is qui, |, distance from Fairbanks, an , therefore requires a long haul | Dr.ng il into town.
 The chief reason for wood shot ,.ge at the present time, h weyer. i ,he fact that, while good wood haul -ng weather was in evidence. therC .as no snow for sledding. That vas known early in the fall bI. practically all of the residents ,i fairbanks kept putting off ordering
 it until snow should fall, which would have the effect of making haul. ingcharges less. Later, when the fact that a wood hortage was cer- tain developed. many people ordered w~od to be brought from Goldstrea m and Cinema by the Panama Valley railroad and hauled about town with teams, but that source of supply has now been cut off, also by the cold weather. on account of the facl that the weather prevents the rail road from operating trains.
 Yesterday was busy day for l those Fairbanksans who are short of wood. Many of them, having in duced teamSter. to consent to take their horses out of the stables for an hour or two at a time, rustled 1 around to see where they could get wood Some few seized upon wood bel nging to people who are now on the Outside and to whom the wood is useless at the present time, while others managed to get a few stick from neighbors who were lucky enough to have an over-supply for to get wood. have temporarily mov- ed into the hotels.
 There is but very little chance for those who are short of the comm dity to get wood until the weather becomes milder. Just when that will be is another question. Some of the m re hopeful among the peo- ple are predicting that the cold snap will end by Saturday or Sunday. when a change of the moon is due.
 Of Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen" the New York Times says: Aside from the fact that it is one of the most laughter prov king taIe5 of the year, Mir. Tarkington's story is also, beneath all its fun, notable study of the psychology of the boy in his litter teens" 1t can be secured st the George C. Thomas Memorial Ii brary.
