AMERICAN RESOURCES
AND EXPENDITURES

Pessimistic Americans who view
with alarm our increasing national
obligations may derive great deal
of comfort from the following
figures:
The total resources of the United
States are estimated at about $780,
900, 100000; our annual earnings
are estimated at about $4,000, 000,-
600. Our national debt may be put
around s1s,OOO,OOO,O0O. @ ="
Interest charges less the interest
collected from our loans to our
Allies. government insurance ex-
penses, and other necessary expend-
lures growing out of the war may
conservatively be estimated at
$1,000, We will have to
raise only couple of billions year
revenue, a slight task for nation
with such tremendous resources as

PLACING THE BLAME

The German plot to incite Mexico
and Japan to war against the United
States originated with Herr Won
Chemnitz, who bore the title of
legation counsellor and was en-
ployed in subordinate capacity in
the German foreign office, it is now
asserted This is disclosed by Pro-
fessor Bonn, rector fthe CONNER

Zimmerman kept the matter in

Zimmerman kept the matter in
mind. Presently, Won Chemnitz
came and told him that in the next
few days an especially reliable mess
enger would leave for Mexico, to
whom the message could safely be
entrusted and that it was a matter
OF now or never.
Zimmerman allowed himself to
be over-persuaded and so the fatal
step was taken"
DR.. Albert Zimmerman on Janu-
airy 10, 1917, directed the German
Minister Won Eckhardt, at Mexico
City to prepare an alliance between
Germany, Mexico and Japan to take
effect as soon as it was certain
there would be war between the
United States and Germany. The
German minister was directed to
urge President Carranza of Mexico
to ask Japan's adherence to this
scheme. Zimmerman proposed that
Mexico should "reconquer the lost
territory of New Mexico, Texas and
Arizona"
The German plot was made public
by the United States government
in February, 1917. Its disclosure
was one of the startling incidents
which preceded Americas entrance
into the war.

PEACE PROBLEMS
CONFRONT WORLD;
ACTION AWAITED

LONDON.-The after-war bust
ness problem receiving the most i'm
portant attention at present in Eng
land is that of the control of raw
materials and shipping. says state
ment issued by the American Cham
Der of Commerce in London. 1t
adds: Detailed studies of sources
and methods of control and dis
tribution are being made, but there
does not appear to be agreement
on the general principles of con-
troll. On the one hand, powerful
Interests are urging immediate CO.
operation between Great Britain
France and the United States, for
the formation of a world-control
which will, at the appropriate time,
be able to distribute raw materials
as seems best. On the other hand
some are pointing out that such
action would in principle be con-
trary to President Wilson's policy
of no economic combination within
the League of Nations
World arrangements are already
being made with the sanction
of the British government in re-
gard to oil and metals, while ship
ping plans change or develop daily.
The American Chamber of Com
merce in London has urged COM
mercal bodies in America to con-
slider the entire subject"

SHIPS WITH WINE
IN SPITE Of LAW

PORTLAND, Ore.-Although Off
cial christenings of cargo carriers
which slide from Portland ways
from time to time are made with
apple juice, loganberry juice or GIN
ger ale, due to the difficulty of
getting the real article" in dry
territory, it has been learned that
none of the ships launched by the
Northwest Steel company has been
water-borne without having an ad-
ditional, although unofficial, christ
ing without champagne.
This is due to the superstition of
a certain foreman, who has to do
with the construction of all the
SS00-ton Steel monsters built at the
Northwest company's yards. Soft

some maid or matron. chosen to per-
form the ceremony, breaks a bottle
of non-alcoholic content upon the
deck of the vessel, the foreman
stands ready with his quart of
extra dry. down at the base of
the ways, out of sight of the Won
dering throng. Just as the word
is given to "let GO, his bottle of
contraband product crashes against
the prov and the champagne laves
the ship as she takes to the waters
of the Willamette.
At the Foundation yards, where
vessels have been built for the
French government for the past
year, champagne also is used for
launching ceremonies. A French in
spector who officiates at these cere-
monies feels that no ship should
leave the ways without the proper
sort of treatment He furnishes the
necessary bottle of wine.

DISPUTED TERRITORY

LA PAZ. Bolivia.-Influx OF
American capital into the central re.
publics of South America for the
development of vast areas of hith-
erto untouched resources has caus-
ed Bolivia and Paraguay to awaken
to a realization of the possibilities
that lie in the disputed zone which
is known as the Great Chaco.
The boundary line between these
two republics never has been fixed
definitely because of the wildness
of the country, but both nations
have been satisfied with going on
record as claiming all the zone and
then going about their daily bust
ness without forcing an issue.
But now that great development
companies from the United States
are seeking concessions, the news
papers and public men are urging
that the old question be brought up
for final settlement.
The Great Chaco is a vast area
north of Argentina between the
Pilcomayo and Paraguay rivers. 1t
is claimed by both Bolivia and Para
quay, though both admit that their
claims are so large that they will
have TO give up large areas in the
final reckoning.
For several years Bolivia has been
preparing quietly for the day of
final settlement, so that it is now in
a position to press the issue to ad-
vantage. That country has con-
structed a chain of forts at intervals
of twenty miles. in direct wireless
communication with La Paz, put its
army in possession Of the strip and
settled back to wait for the argu-
ment which now appears to be APP
preaching.

HIGH OPERATING
GUSTS HANDICAP
COAST DISTRICT

Two million, five hundred thous-
and dollars in gold is the estimated
production for the season of 1918
in that part of Alaska tributary to
the government railroad, according
to the report of the Land and Indus
trial department of the Alaskan
Engineering commission.
Because of the high price and
scarcity of nearly all materials need
ed in the prosecution of the mining
industry and as result of the short
age of labor, the yield of gold and
other minerals was not so large in
1918 as it otherwise would have
BEEN" says the report.
THE Willow Greek Mining dis
trict, which is the richest gold quartz
district in Alaska, produced about
100000 in gold in the season of
1918. There were about 200 men
in the district during the summer
months. which is about so fewer
than there were in 1917.
"A development of the 1918 sea-
son was the discovery that at least
some of the ores in the district
carry platinum values. 4 sample
recently sent to Denver, Colorado,
for testing purposes returned assay
values of a fraction more than Z
ounces in gold and IA ounces of
platinum.
Better Roads Needed
While considerable Improvement
has been made in transportation
facilities in the Willow creek dis
trict, the prime necessity is better
roads between the district and
Wasilla, which is on the govern
ment railroad, sixteen miles distant
The Cache creek district in the
season of 1918 produced about
100000 in placer gold. The num-
Der of men in the district during
the season did not average more
than 125. The operators of the
large dredge, which has been in
the district three seasons, declare
that because of the high cost of
materials and labor they do not
plan to work next season.
THE building of the government
railroad to Talkeetna, to which the
laying of steel is progressing now,
will greatly aid the Cache creek dis
trict, if Improvement is made in the
wagon road between Talkeetna and
this district.
