Promptly at four o'clock sat urday afternoon, with her social halls crowded to their utmost ca pacity, and the deck swaTming with merry makers, the HsrboT Boat Petersoni steamed away from Moore's wharf for the trip to Fort Seward and Haines. Not for many years has there been such an excursion, and from the time that Captain StedhRm gnTe the signal to Chief Engineer Walk ley for full steam ahead on tha outgoing trip to the time that ths little ship returned It's merry crowd home. has the social chrouicler of skagway recorded such B perfectly delightful affair. o..

a guaranty of price for a reasonable
period would stimulate production OF
the needed metals more satisfactorily
than would the advancing of money.
Mr.. Baruch predicted that results

Chemist Wonders at German Success.
Much less sanguine was DR.. William
H. Nichols of the General Chemical
company, who fears that it is imprac-
ticable to attempt to meet the domes-
tic demand for some minerals from
our own deposits. He told how his
company had examined a great many
deposits Of pyrites, but found no large
or important bodies in the east. While
DR.. Nichols agreed with Mr.. Baruch
in the main, he said that the post war
period must be considered, when the
manufacturer here will have to COM
pete with the world and must not be
put in position Of paying for certain
supplies unduly high prices created
by war necessity. He declared that it

this section leaves us in doubt whe-
Their the government is going to un-
derwrite not only new enterprises but
also those that are already being
prosecuted; or whether it Is going to
take care of those that are undertaken
"in reliance upon this guarantee" or
does the concluding sentence that we
have quoted mean that special and
perhaps different guaranty is to be
made in each case? But the opening
sentences of the section imply gen.
eral guaranty, and we find specific
Interpretation to that effect when,
further on, it is provided that when
&. the importation :. of
any of these necessaries is
likely materially to enhance the liza
bilities of the United States under
guarantees of prices therefor made
pursuant to this section" an equaliz-
ing duty may be imposed.
In other words, the government is
going to be asked to give an unlimit-
ell put" for two years to domestic
producers, including those who have
already gone into business for the sake
Of profit, taking their chances, but is
going to prevent consumers from get
ting any cheaper foreign supplies. The
intention of the bill being thus clearly
established, the confusion of any 9TH
err thought should be cleared away
for If anybody gets the idea that the
guaranty is to be limited to those who
enter upon production in reliance up
on it, there will be a suspension of all
projects while this bill Is being de-
bated, which would be exactly contrary
to the main purpose of the bill. Yet

enterprises by the stimulus of high
prices and the opportunity to realize

The fact is that there is nothing
novel in the situation that exists to-
day, nothing that Americans have not
previously mastered on their own ini-
tiative. In 1915 we were called upon
to expand our production of tungsten,
sulphuric acid, zinc and other things,
and we did it in phenomenally short
time. In eight months of 1915 we in
creased our zinc smelling capacity by
30 per cent. At the end of 1916 we
had l ga times the number of zinc
smelling retorts that we had at the
end of 1914. Shelters risked millions
in new plants without any guaranty

NORTH STAR SNOWsuDE
MANY SUITS FOR DAMAGE
COMPANY WILL APPEAL TO sU-
PREME coURT-TRlED IN
LINCOLN COUNTY.

A special from Shoshone, Idaho,
gives the following regarding the per-
sonal injury cases brought by en-
ployes of the North Star Mining COM
pany as a result of the snowslide
which carried away the boarding
house, killing several men and in
juring others. The mine Is located in
the Wood river district, near Haley
Company Will Appeal.
Trial of the 16 damage cases
against the North Star mine, the Fed
eral Mining & Smelling company, E.
Percy Smith. general manager, and
Thomas Jay, foreman. will be held up
pending the decision of the supreme
court in the case of G. Il. Maynard
against the same defendants.
THE jury in the Maynard case re-
turned verdict awarding Maynard
$4,000 damages and $3.50 costs and the
defendants will appeal at once to the
supreme court Of the state. Maynard
sued for $4,000.
THE Maynard case was the first of
II filed against the North Star Min
Ing company and CO. defendants and
was regarded as a test.
1.-THE suits are the result of the de-
struction of the clubhouse at the
North Star mine in Blaine county by
a snowslide about a year ago, in
which several lives were lost and a
number of men were injured.
Claim Contributory Negligence.
THE plaintiff claimed damages,
charging negligence, alleging that the
clubhouse was built on a spot which
was we'll known to be a pathway for
slides; that slides had previously
swept over that exact spot causing
loss of life.
THE defense denied all the allega-
tons of the plaintiff as to the location
of the clubhouse and further con-
tended that If plaintiffs allegations
were true the palntiff had full knowl-
edge of the matter and was therefore
guilty of contributory negligence.
THE suits asking for damages ag-
about 100000, were filed in
Blaine county, but were later trans
ferred to Lincoln county for trial."

BACK TO THE WilDS.
Airedale Dog Returns to Predatory
Life in Yellowstone Park.

An instance of dogs return to the
savage state of his wolf ancestry came
to light in February in the Yellow
stone national park when Scout An
derson's report of a trip into the Buff
falo Fork country contained, under
the heading of predatory animals kill
ed, mention of one mountain lion,
one bob-cat. four coyotes and an Aire-
dale dog.
This dog, which probably wandered
into the park from some farm or set
Element a few miles over the border,
has been living in the Yellowstone in
a wild state for several years. whe-
Their or not he fraternized with his
cousins the wolves and the coyotes
can not be known certainly. No doubt
he lived as they live at the expense Of
young and weaker deer and elk, and
smaller prey. Probably he lived alone
against all animal kind as they were
against him. There are well anthem
ticated instances of dogs thus return
Ing to savage nature. 1t speaks well
for his tenacity and strength that,
alone of his kind in country where
all kinds of wild animals live still their
natural lives. he survived. He may
have been dog of good pedigree.
Anyway. the dog had been seen at
intervals for several years and was Of
ficially classed among the animals
which, alone Of all Yellowstone's ami
mails, are sought and killed because

q friendly understanding with Russia
in this regard throughout the entire

Lane Backs the Bill.
Franklin X. Lane. secretary of the
interior, urged the passage of the bill
at the earliest moment. Every ton of
manganese developed in the United
States, he declared. Is equivalent to
the saving of five tons of shipping. IF
England and France hold fast" said
the secretary, then it means that they
must stand there waiting until We
come We must save every possible
ton of shipping" Mr.. Lane stated
that the bill was prepared in his Of
flee and that both President Wilson
and himself had gone over it.
Possibilities Of Domestic Development

The causes Of these non fatal &C.

The message of Christmas is love.
Its emblem is radiant. thankful, con-

without children there could be no
real Christmas. The form might sur

Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself a child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are superfiuOus except AS
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glorifes.
Let us, then, lay aside the affecta-
ton and arrogance Of manhood and
womanhood and be children again
Let US adopt their point of view and
put ourselves iii their places-iu the
places Of these sons and daughters Of
ours and of the sons and daughters Of
our nelghbors. Il was only a year or

but the essence Of Christmas never.

The same parenthood. toO--the same
