Ten units of American woodsmen, sent
over by the New England States and or
CARNATIONS to turn various forests of the
Uni ed Kingdom into lumber, have arriv-
ed on English soil.
The complete equipment of the units
caused much surprise and occasioned a
great deal of favorable comment. The
woodsmen brought with them not only
the necessary machinery, but were fully
equipped in every way, even to lubricat-
ing oils. Their arrival found them ready
to establish their sawmills and begin
work at once. The only necessity for
their maintenance is raw food, which
their own cooks will prepare,

State of Trade.

merchants report LndL LQe volume OF
over-the-counter sales is much larger.
In many cases dealers, having been de-
prived of spring business, welcome early
activity in strictly summer lines From
other New England sections similar
favorable reports are received. Crops
have made rapid progress and, while it is
too early yet for large receipts, the mark
cts are better supplied with some kinds
of produce and nearly all farm products
are easy, where they are not materially
lower.
Flour has continued to decline, but all
kinds of meats are still high and firm.
Fresh fish prices are again stronger, but,
of course, liable to sudden change. The
continued strength of the butter market
is thought to be largely artificial in view
of ample receipts and slow consumptive
demand. Accommodating supplies of cheese
and doubtful export situation has pro-
duced an easy feeling in that commodity,
while eggs have continued to drop. On
the whole, the food situation is improv-
ing, as undoubtedly economies in con-
sumption are extensive and prices of
many leading articles are working lower
as the result of lessened demand and in
creasing offerings.
Summer shoes are moving freely into
consumption, bnt manufacturing trade is
quiet on new civilian orders, and travel
ing salesman returning from their trips
report business less than for the CORES
ponding time last year. Sales of leather
to the general trade show moderate in
crease and tanners employed on govern
ment work are extremely busy. There is
little more life to dry goods, and values
in every department are very firm.
Prices of wool keep very strong and the
trend of the market is upward, prices in
the West being above eastern levels.
Building operations are still restricted by
the high cost of materials and delay in
receiving same.-Dun'S Review

MASS MEETING ON SUNDAY TO
 ORGANIZE MEN

At meeting of the Spanish-Ameri- can war veterans last night they de- cided to call mas meeting of the citi- zens of Seward for 2:3O o'clock to- morrow afternoon, in the A. B. hall, to take counsel as to what action can be started in forming an organization for local and eventually for national de- fense.
 In this connection the following telegram was forwarded to Governor Strong this morning:
 Meeting of James K. Thomp- son, Number 20, United Spanish war veterans, list night adopted resolution endorsing action of the administration in present crisis, and have called mass meeting for Sunday at 2:30 o'clock, to take preliminary steps to form military company for local, or if necessary, national service. We desire information from you be-
 fore that time as to what action
 or support we can expect from
 the national and territoria gov
 ernments. Spanish war veterans of Anchorage are cooperating,
 and have called similar meeting
 for the same time
 (Signed) J. C. LUTTRELL,
 Adjutant.
 The camp realizes owing to its few resident members and many of those beyond the military age, it is unable of itself, to take any effective actior in this matter, hence the invitation tt all citizens to cooperate. That other Alaskan towns, includ ing Anchorage, is taking similar ac ton is evidenced from the following message received by Commando Murphy, from Anchorage yesterday
 At meeting Spanish-American veterans last night it was decided
 to take preliminary steps toward
 organizing battalion of infantry
 to be recruited from territory tri-
 butary to the government rail
 road for service in case of war. Proposed to start enrolment list
 of those willing to serve and we cordially invite active co-opera-
 ton of your camp and others in-
 terested. We heartily endorse ac-
 tion of our President in present crisis and take this means show [ ing that we stand by him. Public

meeting called 2 o'clock Sunday
 afternoon.
 (Signed) E. K. MCFARLAND.
 Owing to the fact that the war de- partment has not yet made public their plan for receiving organizations into the national service, it is thought that the first action necessary as an outcome of this public meeting is the appointment of a committee of repre- sentative citizens to cooperate with the camp in taking charge of this matter, so prompt action can be taken in conjunction with other Alaskan towns, and keeping in touch with the national and territorial governments,
 It is expected that all residents of Seward, regardless of sympathies or opinions held previous to the entrance of the United States into this world war, will show by their presence at this meeting that they place America first.
