In
Selecting
Lumber

it is always well to Sc
cure the advice of the
man who sells lumber.
The lumber d caller
knows the physical prop
critics OF the various
woods and is in position
TO offer expert advice as
TO what kind should be
given preference.
Certain woods are we'll
suited for use indoors and
are wholly unfit where
exposed to the weather.
Other woods give good
service out OF doors but
should be used where
strength is a factor.
Few people realize that
there are many grades of
lumber and they use an
expensive grade where a
cheaper kind will prob
ably do better.

WERE BRISTOL
 BAY RETURNS
 ALL FAXED UP?
Writer Thinks There May Have Been No Bristol Bay Election Held
 at AL,

JUNEAU, Nov 14.-To the Edi meeting last night when Mir. Sulzer was interrupted by Mir. Crowther, who said that the mail clerk on the Dora had told him that he had not delivered the election supplies for the Bristol Bay precincts until Feb ruary
 AIr Sulzer read the sworn testi- mony of Arthur Lang, Clerk of the Court at Valdez, in which the latter said, on oath, that he had mailed the election supplies, including the official ballots, to those precints; that he was sure they had been re- ceiyed there, because the supplies, other than the ballots, had been used and returned as the returns from those precincts.
 Now, either Mr Crowther was wrong, the mail clerk was wrong the Clerk of the Court swore to a lie. or none of the supplies reached the Bristol Bay precincts before the election.
 Is it possible that the latter is the case? Is it possible that there were no Bristol Bay elections? Is it possible that the election supplies were found on the Dora, or some other place by friends of Mr Wick ersham, or that they reached their destination long after the election, and that a false set of returns were made out? Is it possible that the Wickershamites practiced fraud to the extent that MT. Crowther and his mail clerks tale would indicate ? ment that Arthur Lang, Clerk of the Court at Valdez, swore to a lie. It would be too easy to prove that he lied if he did There are others cognizant of the facts as to the mail ing of the returns. The writer knows a prominent Valdez citizen who says he saw the supplies made up just as Mr Lang swore that they were.
 The only conclusion the writer can oiitNS ut III LILO iiaoSSSi 10 one or two things:
 The returns reached their destina- ton and the ballots were destroyed, or all the Bristol Bay returns were manufactured by Wickites.
 The returns were received at Valdez and Juneau late. May be they were fixed up late. A cir cumstance that would suggest such a possibility is the fact that Wick ersham never got any testimony or affidavits from Bristol Bay in which it was claimed that the ballots were not received. notwithstanding he has been at work all summer on his election contest.
 Respectfully submitted for serious consideration

Washington, D. C., August 6. - (Correspondence,) - Following its policy Of caring for the health not only of the soldiers and sailors of the United states, but as well that of the civil population, the Ameri- can Red Cross has established a Bu- reau Of Sanitary Service which will supplement and assist Federal State, and local health authorities in meeting sanitary emergencies created by the war. The work of the bureau will center in the civilian areas surrounding army cantonments.
 While sanitary control of Ma tional Army Cantonments, National Guard Camps, and Naval Bases will be exercised by the military authori- ties, tbe districts immediately ad- joining these camps will be under no such jurisdiction. Yet the assem- bling of large bodes of troops will create new sanitary conditions. These must be met to safeguard the health of civilians as well as of soldiers.
 The problem of milk supply, for example. will be greatly enlarged. The supply itself must be doubled sometimes trebled, and this means increaesd forces for inspection. In the Southern states, where malaria is a danger, the Red Cross has al- ready undertaken efforts looking toward the extermination of mos Quitoes. They must be eliminated not only in the camp proper, but in the surrounding country. Clean ing un pools and other breeding places within a mile radius of camps will mean covering from fifteen to sixty square miles.
 When local health authorities are insufficiently equipped to meet these added problems, the Red Cross will offer the assistance Of
