ALASKAN TIMBER
 FOR MINE PROPS.

-
 That mine timbers of white spruce, Sitka spruce. white birch, and west ern hemlock grown on the Chugack National forest, Alaska. are fully as good as Douglas fir from the Rocky mountain region and are superior to other Rocky mountain species for use as mine timbers has been demonstrat- ed by the forest products laboratory at Madison Wis, says the Forest Ser vice Bulletin.
 Tests made to determine the suita- bility of the Alaskan trees for mine timbers showed that in bending strength developed the four species named are from 20 per cent to more than 100 per cent stronger than lodge- pole pine, alpin fir Engelmann spruce. bristle cone pine. and western yellow pine from the Rocky mountain region. All of these species are widely used for mine timbers and were tested by the laboratory.
 Stka spruce, white birch, and west ern hemlock from Alaska proved to be considerably higher in average strength than Rocky mountain Dou- glas fir. White spruce averaged nearly as well.

1rink was still a curse in Russia.

drink was still a curse in Russia.
 Well authenticated stories deahng with the internal life of Russia dur ing the period between the war dec- laration and the overthrow of the im- peria1 government disclose that inso- briety and dissoluteness were every where prevalent and the the czar's government was totally unable to suppress the illicit trade in strong and habit forming liquor. But, with the dawn of the new era, the demo- cratic government took the matter in hand with high resolve and strong determination to cure the evil if possi- ble. It passed no drastic prohibitory laws, made no attempt to accomplish the impossible by seeking to drive liquor completely out of the country.
 Instead 1t prohibited the disallins of strong drink and has since so moved that the people know that the edict will be enforced. It then al- lowed the manufacture of weak beer under government regulation and con- trol and permitted it to be consumed under close regulations.
 It also allowed the manufacture of pure wines from the grape. Wines for export may be sold up to any strength but when the wine is to be consumed in Russia the alcoholic content may not be above twelve per cent.
 Thus the people are at present al- lowed to drink moderately and with the quantity of alcohol which may be consumed strictly limited to the quantity that will do the least bod fly and mental harm.
 While the strict teetotaler may not agree with the wisdom of such action it is never the less founded in excellent good judgment coupled with keen insight into human nature.

RUSSIA SETTLES LIQUOR PROB.
 LEM.

Human cataclysms such as recently occurred in Russia and by means of which practically all new govern ments are created, often result in the human mind conceiving new ideas TO- specting things which have previously been considered as bound and settled by the most logical laws or expedi- ents.
 In sense such upheavals tend to1 clarify the sight to make men see clearly where before they had had no more than blurred half vision. That IS why we may confidently expect from the new government of Russia much that is far sighted in the line of government methods and regula- tons.
 For instance note the instant good sense displayed by the budding demo- cracy in its disposal of the liquor problem-a problem, by the way that was deal of way from being ef- fectually disposed of by the late gov ernment In spite of the sternly prohib- itory ukase of the czar banishing liquor from the Moscovite realms. Hardly had the people taken over the government before they proceed ed to promulgate liquor regulations that are based upon the soundest reasoning and that are right worthy of emulation in lands that have been more or less accustomed to look upon Russia as the ultimate of backward ness and barbarism.
 The old aristocracy had made Q vast amount of money out of the manufac- taure of strong liquors. and, doubtless, under normal conditions would have continued to do so, not alone because provided a great revenue but also be- cause use of strong and habit forming liquors tended to keep the masses in Q condition of besotted serfdom which prevented them from seeing things as thew were and real 4zing the utter abjectness of the misery in which they were bound and held by the ruhns powers. Such condition, needless to say is eminently desirable where the principal object of the government is to grind the last possible cent of rev mue from the struggling masses.
 But facing the stress of war, it realized that sober. clear minded sol diers were more effective than drink dulled and enfeebled ones and pro- ceeded to do away with this mauufac- ture.
 The action was eminently success full in so far as it produced clear headed soldiers but graft and dishon- esty made the ukases of autocracy of httle effect outside of the army. In spite of imperial promuigations strong

Was as to His Safety.

Butte, Mont, June 11.-Twenty-
seven men, rescued alive from the
2,4OO foot level Of the Spectator
mine, owe their lives to the heroism
and resourcefulness of Manus Dug
gan, a 20-year-old nipper, or tool boy,
according to their story.
Young Duggan, displaying rare
presence of mind, showed his other
fellow workmen how to bulkhead
themselves from the dangerous gas
and preserve their lives until their
rescue. There were 20 members OF
the party and 81 of them are alive, the
28th man, j. H. McAdams, dying des-
pite efforts to resuscitate him.
The fate of young Duggan is not
known but it is believed that he has
persisted.
The finding of the men alive stimu-
lated efforts of the rescue teams and
there is strong hope that others may
be found alive. Fifty bodies have
been recovered and 100 were still
missing after the rescue of %.

CROP
NOW READY
Harvest Season Is Close at
Hand With Labor
Scarce. -
YIELD TO Be VERY LIGHT
Farmers Are Advised to Lei
1t Get Fully
Ripe.
YIELD TO Be VERY LIGHT

Already some early crops of wheat
are about ready to cut, and by next
week harvest will be in full Roadway
with labor a scarce article. Farmers
may have to exchange hands to get
the crop harvested, as has been pro-
posed.
Owing to high prices of flour itmay
be the tendency of many farmers to
harvest their wheat crops too early.
In some sections of the State the crop
is promising, but to harvest before
the berry has had time TO mature
would mean a big loss to the farmers.
Great care should be exercised in
harvesting wheat to get the largest
yields and grain that will make the
best grade of flour.
Wheat should be harvested when
the grain is in the dough stage. AT
this stage the berries can be in
denied with the finger nails, but they
are not milky. Harvesting at this
stage insures the largest yields. II
harvesting is begun before the grain
is in the dough stage there will be a
considerable loss due to shrinkage,
and in the poor quality of flour milled
from such grain. If harvesting is de-
ferred until the grain is dead ripe
much grain will be lost by SCATTERING.
The feeding value of the straw is de-
creased if it is cut after the grain has
passed through the dough stage.
