Tradinq with Siberia

For the first time in many years there has been no trading with the Siberian na- tives this year, says the Nome Industrial Worker. Not one boat has been outftted to start on such trip. The merchants and others appear to be uneasy lest the un- settled state of things anticipated over there might result in the conhscatlon of the ship and its trading cargo, as happened to the Diamond L. some time ago. There Is hardly any such danger, and 1t was stated on good authority that any person who secured a license from the Russian revenue cutter there could trade to his hearts content along the Siberian coast There IS one out fit here which arrived from the Outside and which made inquiries looking toward securing schooner or other boat to take three men and prospecting equipment over to Siberia. This expedition was being equipped and financed by California man, but whether he made arrangements to take over the party is not known. It Is not known by what right any American can go to Anadlr and prospect or whether the old system which was in vogue under the empire prevails under the republic. There is considerable wealth in the tributaries of the Anadir short distance up this great navigable stream is bountful supply of coal end many of the creeks have already proved to be rich. It would seem that all that is needed is for the Siberian authori- ties to give the word and new town will spring up in Anadir bay, where English will be the predominant language and Americans will mske up the population. If the Cham Der of Commerce only knew it," says the Nome paper "by securing from Petrograd the proper forms for stalking and settling on the ground in Siberia they could start old Nome booming this fall as the supply point of stampede such as has never been before in all its history, As it is, it is un- derstood quite number are now seeking in formation for themselves on this head"

Enormous Run of Salmon

The northern section of Southeastern Alaska is this year experiencing one of the largest runs of salmon in the history of the canning business in Alaska, according to re- ports from all canneries received by the Juneau Emnire. The salmon are running in enormous schools, and in such numbers that in spite of the increased number of canneries and canning capacities, the plants are unable to care for all the fish being caught. On account of the war and the shortage of foodstuffs, the demand for canned salmon this season will be very heavy.

Hioh Water at kenana

During the recent heavy rainstorms the Nenana river changed its course and the high waters carried out several wagon bridges and forced the engineering commis- sion to blow out one railroad bridge to prevent further and more serious damage. The scene of the disaster is at Lost Slough. twenty miles south of Nenana The river changed its course at this point, and has so far failed to return to its old channel. The driftwood formed an immense jam above the bridge across the slough, and the water was rapiGly spreading over the sur rounding country threatening to wash out sections of the track and inundate vast area of territory To prevent this the rail way bridge was blown out.

One can travel almost the entire length of the coast without finding more than half dozen men trying their luck in the uncertain sands The surf washers are, he said, certainly idle this summer, although the weather and tide conditions have been favorable. He thought this was just as well. Those who tried to eke out summer stake on the beach by such means usually ran short on the winter stake in the fall. As he pointed out, there is no form of mining where such practical skill is required as in beach mining, if one is to save the gold and only experienced men

1 stitution; the rights and powers o1 the kaiser do not ascend from the people, as in democracy"
 Boasts of His Appointment by God
 In crowning himself the kaiser announced It Is the tredition of our house that we, the IInhenz, lierns, regard ourselves as ap- pointed by God to govern and to lead the people whom it is given us to rule, for thri" well being and tie advancement ot I their material and intellectual interests" Again: "I look upon the people of the nation, handed on to me as responsibility conferred upon me by God; and that 1t IS, as is written in the Bible, my duty to in crease this her;taoe for which one day l shall be called upon to give an account j; those who try to interfere with my task l shall crush"
 Again: T regard my whole position as given to me direct from heaven: and that 1 1 have been called by the Highest to do His work, by One to whom l must one day render an account
 The prerogatives mentioned are double headed, in that they not only belong to the emperor of Germany but to the king of Prussia.
 The delusion of William H., who spawned this war, Is that the crown he wears was bestowed by God. The real fact is that not only his crown but his princlpality were ac- quired on pawn ticket, for "The first rul- ing Hohenzollern of Brandenburg, Elector Frederick l., acquired his title to the cleo torate by taking from King Sigismund of Hungary, in l1l4, mortgage on the prov ince (the nucleus of modern Prusslal, as security for loan to that hard-up potentate of about 100000 gulden A little later he forecIosed the mortgage and took title a rather poor title at that, as there was al ready mortgage on the property which 1t was convenient for Sigismund to repudl- ate" Perhaps suggests MT. Prince, royal second mortgages, like marriages, are made in heaven, and thus they become divine rights"
 Five years ago Kaiser William declared, Considering myself as an instrument of the Lord, and without needing the views and opinions of the day, l go my way" Quo Vadis, one might ask of this partner of the Most High

from &c decline to rise OF 40c.
Reports both from the winter wheat belt
and from the spring crop region. told of
encouraging farm conditions The outlok
In fact was so good that foreigners were
said to be the chief sellers of the Sep
tember delivery. Buying was slow, a cir
cumstance which seemed due in some degree
TO uncertainty regarding the shape that the
food bill would have on coming finally
from congress. In this connection bears laid
stress on Washington advices relating to
labor protests against high prices Buch
attention was given to an estimate by
leading authority that the 1917 domestic
yield of winter wheat would aggregate 467,-
100000 bushels. instead of s7s.ooo.o0
bushels, the total suggested by the govern
ments figures for June.
Export demand from the entente and
from the Dutch government put strength
into corn. Further rains In the southwest
where of late drought had been complained
of. failed to act as more than a temporary
offset.
Eeaboard purchases had bullish influence
on the oats market. Serious damage re-
ports from Kansas counted also in max
