velopment throughout the west belt. It is quite common to find trees of this species in southeast Alaska from 6 to s feet in diameter and 200 feet tall, comparing very fayorably in quality and size to the spruce tim Der being logged on Puget Sound.
 During the progress of the world war Alaska furnished large quanti- ties of the very best airplane lumber that was secured, this being prac- tically the only lumber that Alaska has ever exported
 New Mill for ketchikan.
 From 3O,000,000 to 400,000000 feet of Sitka spruce is cut annually on the Tongass and Chugach National Forests, which includes practically all of the saw timber cut in the wet belt or coastal region of Alaska
 The saw timber that is cut in Alaska is used in supplying the local needs chiefly of mining and fishing more spruce being used in the con- struction of salmon boxes than for any other purpose
 Red Cedar is found quite plentiful ly in the southern part of south east Alaska, but it is. not found porth of latitude 57 degrees. Il has thus far only been logged in small way supplying the needs of three small shingle mills. two at Ketchikan and one at Wrangell
 A new shingle mill is planned for construction in the KetchiEan region in the near future. and will enter the eastern market by way of Prince Ru- pert and the Grand Trunk Railroad
 Yellow cypress, commonly called yellow cedar or Alaska cedar is quite plentiful throughout southeast Alaska, and is handled in a small vav by several of the small mills.
 On account of the exceptionally fine qualities of this wood for pat orn. toys. furniture and many other
 things, there is an increasing de- mand.
 The logging operations in Alasks are comparatively small. most of the timber being cut near the shore and pulled into the water by means of a donkey engine The largest opera tion consists of two or three yarders and one road engine. Four thousand feet is about the greatest distance that any one has reached out from the shore up to the present time. The logs are in all cases placed into rafts or booms to be lowed to the mill.
 Sawmills in Alaska, although num- erous, are very small, the daily ca pacity of the largest being 4O,oOO to O.OOO board feet The Ketchikan Power Company at Ketchikan is the only mill in Alaska operating a band say.

While progress is being made on
the reparation question, the situation
concerning food for Germany is mud
died and the outlook gloomy. The
meeting at Spa, which began tonight
and which will continue tomorrow
and possibly a day or Two longer,
may bring about q solution. The
obstacle in the path arises through
the French position.
France is still unwilling to commit
herself to any plan that will require
the money she feels should be used
for the discharge of the claims of her
people who suffered through German
invasion. While sympathy for the
French aims is felt, the circumstances
are such that if they are permitted
to be carried through, the whole bur-
den must fall upon America and to
a lesser extent upon Great Britain
The French position has changed
several times, and the question is
really one of politics. 1t is generally
admitted that Germany must be fed
if she is to pay anything at all of
reparation, but the question of who
shall pay for her feeding is one on

Paris, March S.-America is the
first nation to complete her bill OF
claims against Germany. Experts
have completed tabulation of the
damages for which reparation will be
asked, the mount reaching in round
numbers, about $75O,00o.OO0.
The claims are divided into losses
due to the destruction of ships by il
legal submarine warfare, the conse-
quent losses of cargoes, the seizure of
American property in Germany, and,
finally the loss of life due to the
sinking of American ships.
Compensation is asked for at least
n score at the rate of about $4,000
for each individual, that amount be-
ing arrived at by averaging allow
ances made under the compensation
laws of various American states and
the awards of courts in damage cases.
Has $500, 100000 in Hand.
Against the total American claims,
the United States has something like
$500, ,00O, 900 in the hands of the alien
property custodian, taken from Ger
man and central allied sources. This
will be used to discharge the substan-
tiated items against the central pow
ers. Although practically all the
property seized in America Is pri-
vately owned by German subjects. and
therefore in theory not available for
national debts. this difficulty will be
met, it is expected, through German
action in confiscating private prop
erty and applying it to meet the debts
of the government
No other nation has yet placed it's
claims on the table of the reparation
committee. In fact, certain nations
were inclined to sidestep, and sug-
gested that the total amounts be left
in blank. This method was objected
to by America, which pointed out that
in making judgment against Ger
many it was necessary to present a
detailed bill, so that the defeated ma
ton might know for what they were
paying. Americas refusal to handle
the matter in any other way than by
submitting a clear and understand
able statement to Germany has had
the effect of causing the other coun-
tries to concentrate upon the question
of precisely how much, and for what
their claims will be.
The committees are proceeding
along two lines. the first being COM
putation of the claims based on ac-
tual damages and the second being
claims of damages plus war costs,
Later, when the principle of repara-
ton has been defined by the council
of ten, these two amounts will be
composed according to such ruling
and in the light of the amount that
Germany is able to pay, which is,
after all, the controlling factor
Load Germany Must Shoulder.
The present outlook is that the
Germans will have assessed against
them sums which will require a full
generation to wipe out and which,
with interest, will finally aggregate
twice as much as the original sum.
In other words. if Germany is COM
PEELED to pay the principal of s25,-
600 100000 which there is reason to
believe will be the amount set. by the
time she has completed the last in

LABOR AND CAPITAL

F ederal Reserve Board Indi-|
Gates That Prosperity Of theI

tions in Wages and Profits,

tBv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlRGI
Washington. March S.-The federal
reserve board in its forthcoming
monthly bulletin says that all classes
must share in the results of readjust-
ment, including wage and price mat
ters, soon to be expected.
Without mentioning specifically the
attitude of either labor or employers,
the bulletin, according to the review
issued today, says:
ut would be unreasonable for any
factor in production to assert that it
would not bear its share in the gen.
eral process of readqustment. Such
readjustment is designed for the COM
mon benefit of all participants in in
dustry and the public at large. If it
be eduitably carried out. It's effects
will not tend to favor any particular
class or group in the community but
will operate to increase the gneral
volume of business and the regular
ity and smoothness with which the
industrial mechanism moves and
functions"
Discussing foreign trade, the bull
letn SAYS:
1t is now becoming more and more
evident that an important phase of
readjustment must be sought in con-
nection with our foreign trade. Up
to the opening of February 1t had
still been hoped by many that there
would be a swift revival Of activity
and that our manufactured products
would be exported in something ap-
preaching the volume developed dur
ing the war. Several influences have
intervened to prevent such a develop
-ment Important among these is the
unsatisfactory position of the ex-
changes"
The bulletin calls attention to the
probable early falling off of foreign
trade due to the decrease in advances
by the treasury to allied governments.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO MORNING JOURNAL
Santa Fe, March S.-This was the
most industrious day yet put in by
the legislature The senate did not
meet until after noon, but that branch
is we'll up with its work and disposes
of its measures in a methodical and
effective manner The house is up
with the calendar but behind on com
mittee work and has a vast number
of bills in the mill. The indications
are that in the lower house the mem
bers will during the next week work
as they never worked before.
The house was busy from 10 o'clock
this morning until late tonight. Nine
teen bills were on the calendar, and
there was much routine work to dis
pose of. Little was done in the fore
noon, but the preliminaries were put
out of the way and the calendar was
reached early after noon.
The most important measure pass
ed by the house was the public health
BILL which has been buffeted about
since the first part of the session.
When the bill was finally disposed of
the spectators wondered why it was
so late in getting past the obstacles,
as there was not a vote cast against
it. The bill passed was a substitute
in which the paragraph relating to
veneral diseases, which many men,
bers opposed, was stricken out. An
amendment adopted on the floor pro-
vides that not more than three men,
bers Of the board shal! be Of the same
political party. Another amendment
was that one of the members may be
a woman. An amendment by Hunt
er of San Juan county to make the
placing of a woman on the board
mandatory, was defeated. The bill
was called up by Curns and passed
under suspension of rules, on account
of the presence of several women
who wished to be present when il
was passed.
Child Welfare Bill Passes.
The house passed the child welfare
BILL creating a commission of seven
with one vote against it.
That Speaker Sedillo is determined
to get action on his statewide pri-
mary bill was evidenced when he
called Armijo to the chair and made
a motion that the bin be recalled
from the judiciary committee and re-
ferred to the steering committee. The
bill was among the early measures
and the speaker had probably decid-
ed that the judiciary committee was
mot anxious to turn it loose 1t was
