Experiments are now being carried on by the government with fir, yellow cedar and a number of other woods to determine which comes nearest fill ing the place taken by spruce lumber.
 "We have contracted for all the spruce lumber produced in the north western part of the United States, and l am ready to sign a contract with any mill in this section of Alas Ila for its entire next years output" said llr. McClary
 Previous to this time" he contn- ucd, "the mills of this section have been slightly handicapped on account of not having an inspector on the ground The milmen frequently have shipped lumber which was thrown away when it was graded and inspect ed in the States. Others have not shipped lumber which could have been used. being afraid of the grading.
 "Wi,b the inspector here all this trouble will be avoided. We shall en- deayor to secure am active and thor ough cooperation among all concern ed, forestry officers, loggers, mill men and our branch of the government, so it will permit the greatest possible production of spruce lumber"
 lIr. McClary has a list of all mills in Southeastern Alaska and will visit them before leaving Alaska. He said that he was not going north or west because the lumber from those sec tions was unsuited to the requirements . of the service, having too many knots to be suitable.

The Herald is printed this week
under some difficulty. The floor of
The Herald building has been giving
away for some time, and Monday Con-
tractor Nichols began the work of re-
placing the wooden floor with con-
crete. This necessitates the moving
of the machinery to one Side of the
building. putting down the floor on
the vacant side, and then moving
back and doing the other side. All
of which confuses the Office pretty
thoroughly. The Book Store has had
to practically suspend business for a
few days, but, of course, The Herald
will be printed as usual, although it
may perhaps be abbreviated this
week and next. With new concrete
floor, we do not anticipate any further
floor troubles. We trust our friends
will overlook all our shortcomings

which it was stated that the two reg
iments of national guard in this
State were short l ,623 men: in other
words the two regiments contain on
ly 1.724 men, just little over half
as many as required. On the same
page of the same paper of the same
issue there appeared another article
severely criticising Governor Man
ming for not allowing third regiment
to be organized. Which goes to show
what sort of arguments are resorted
to by the "reformers.' Almost as
many men are needed to fill the ranks
of the two existing units as would
be required to form a new regiment.

KILLING INVESTMENTS FOR
POLITICAL GAIN

For some years past Oregon has
been noted as a state OF uncertainties
for tho investor due to freak and radi-
cal legislation.
The reaction came. however, aud in
recent elections the voters turned
down everything of an experimental
nature and Oregon has been slowly
climbing out of the mire OF bad ad-
vertising into which II had fallen.
In the meantime a set OF new Of
hcials have boon put into the public
utility commission and some of them
are not familiar with past conditions
la the state against which the people
turned at the polls.
TO popularize themselves and in an
effort 10 secure votes at the next cleo
tion they seem to be playing up the
time worn arguments OF down with
the corporations.
They have made unnecessary reduc-
lions In rates OF the largest light and
power company Ia the state which has
been struggling to get on It's feet after
several years, during which Il did not
make interest on it's indebtedness.
Now they take the Ease OF the rail-
roads asking advances In freight rates.
