PINE INDUSTRY
 MAY BE TAKEN
 BY GOVERNMENT

AVIATOR USES
 APARACHUTE
 WITH SUCCESS

WITH THE AMERICANS, July 31. Captain Sarret, a French aviator, performed the first experiments in falling with parachute from a moving airplane, the experiment be- ing complete success. He dropped a distance of 100 yards with a para chute twelve yards in diameter and landed so easily that it scarcely threw him from his feet.
 It is believed that the parachutes are going to do much toward saving the lives of the aivators when their machines are crippled. As it is now they drop to the ground like stones and are crushed by the i'm pact with the ground. The para chutes will allow them to float down gently and will be to the aviator what the cork lifebelts are to the sailor.

CANADIAN MONEY IS BEING
 DISCOUNTED IN FAIRBANKS

For the first time in the history of the camp Canadian money is being discounted at one of the local banks. The discount rate is three per cent.
 Inquiry at the bank as to the req son elicited the information that the move was necessity owing to the large amounts that had been paid to the Canadian banking institutions on money exchange between the two at which time a nominal exchange rate had been charged. This en- tailed a loss of several thousand dollars each year, but when the rate was raised to higher figure the holder of the money was required to meet the rate, as the loss would be too large for any institution to meet on business basis.
