BOXES TAKE MUCH WOOD

Some idea of the important bear ing the lumber industry of the gtate of Washington has on the fruit industry may be gained from the fact that in this state alone there are required annually 12,0OO,- 900 apple boxes, to say nothing of tha other fruits and the packing cases for cannery output, says the Spokane Chronicle.
 Each apple box contains 4.S board feet of lumber, or 51,6OO,OOO feet are required annually to box tho apples of the state
 It takes a large, well equipped mill to cut 100000 feet a day and an army of workmen in the woods to keep logs supplied. Such a plant running every day, cingle shift, could not furnish enough lum- Der in @ yaer.
 The value of the logs used, just as they are delivered into the water, would range from $S5O,- 900 to $500,00O.
 With this in mind many of the box manufacturers are urging the standardization of 6 box that will eliminate the large percentage of waste which now takea place. Ex- cept in rare cases the box manu- facturer must purchase from the saw mill lumber cut on a 12-inch hasIs with the result that outside ot every box factory will be seen huge piles of narrow strips which are ripped from such lumber to meet the dimensions required under the present custom.

ALAsKA's WOMAN (To Mrs. Mary B. Hart)

Don't you hear the icy winter call
 ing you? The far voice of your fierce snow
 binding solemn NorthH Your midnight sun turns one dim
 edge above the Snow.
 At Kotzebue its "54 below" The mighty Yukon's roaring pro
 test shakes the crouching hills, In vain attempts to burst the icy
 barrier closing down Upon its breast. Aurora Borealis shoot across the sky Red searchlights of her miracle, And all the heaven with flaming spiendor fills. The tundra crackles for your muck luck's tread. Your parka hangs beseeching on your cabin wall, That far north cabin wall. (A timber wolf housed with her young ones there last fall,) Your huskies snap their teeth i'm patiently, And lurch against the traces to be gone, ..l . The sleety blizzard bellows forth it challenge,-daring you to come. And still the sunland holds you. anu knocking
 At your door; The perfume of your flowers be- set me as 1 knock You haYN grown indolent with too much sheltering ease, You could not hear the wild North call midst all of these. Your neighbor leans across the fenoe to speak to me Left for Alaska more n q month ago?-What? you don't say! Well that's quite like her. Thank you Mrs.-er-er-' much oolig- ed, Good-day.

Gets ENCOURAGING News

Russia's strong man has again
stepped into the breach and the
situation on the southwestern
front has been saved. state dis
patches received here last night
by the Russian Embassy. Pre-
mier Kerensky, now looked upon
more than ever as the man of
the hour" is on his way back to
Petrograd to grapple with the
task of forming a new cabinet.
The dispatches received here
were meager, but sufficiently clear
to make certain that Kegensky
had succeeded in quelling the mu-
tiny at the front. In addition, 1t
was stated that the malcoatents
in the Petrograd garrison had
been disarmed and many OF them
were being dealt with summarily
by the executive committee. The
mutineers at the front, 1t was
stated, were being shown little
mercy when they refused to listen
to the pleas OF Kerensky.
The retreat in Gallcia, east of
Zlochov, forty miles east of Lem
berg, and reaching along the
zlota LiPa River almost as far as
Brzezany, is reported checked.
Embassy dispatches also report
ed a victory for the Russian
forces near Wilma, but no con-
frmation had been received late
last night. p
