stronger position to meet eompeti-

We invited discussion of our two
previous editorials offering a solu-
ton of high living and high wages
and labor unrest. Well - we got
it in fact we had more discussion
than we expected. But we believe
that it was worth while in every
case. And we are going to tell,
here, today, just what came up at
these discussions.
1t will be remembered that we
have been urging INCREASED
PRODUCTION through full time
work and steady application as the
only way to bring down living costs
and to fill up the pay envelope and
to the manufacturer as the means
whereby he can reduce the selling
price Of his goods.

First we will tell of a call from
one manufacturer. He agreed
with Us that our arguments SEEM
ed sound from the standpoint of
the wage Garner but he could not
see wherein the manufacturers
would be benefited. He said that
It was difficult problem to meet
his payroll at present - if it got
any bigger, he would face real
problem. We agreed with him that
this would be tlua until he got the
completed work running through
his factory at a oreater speed so
that he could cash in on it. But
that was only a temporary diff
iculty really not to be considered,
The chief benefit 10 the manufae-
it4rers Of t4e country II would
come from increased production
and full time work by all employees
is the position he would have in the
market where his goods are sold.
He would be able to fill orders
promptly. He would secure new

But for arguments sake, let us

Wouldn't YOU need more money in

DISEASE AND FIRE
KILL ALASKA GAME
GAME WARDEN MAKES 1888
MILE SLED DRIVE AND RE-
PORTS CONDITIONS BAD

NENANA, Alaska.-Thirteen hun
dred and eighty-eight miles by dog
sled marks the trip just completed by
Game Warden Stephen Foster, whose
journeys carried him into little known
parts of the Mckinley National park
and other regions.
From Nenana to McGrath, on the
Kuskokwin river, Foster travelled the
335 miles distance over country sell
dom visited, and over unbroken trails,
his trip here alone indicating that the
way of the game warden in Alaska is
no sinceure. At McGrath a United
States commissioner holds jurisdiction
over a vast sweep of country where
Foster found wholesale game viola
tions. Fourteen white men were con-
victed and fined and the hunters re-
quired to cure and take care of the
large quantities of wild meat found
in caches in the mountains. In
the states, the unlucky hunter also
would have lost his game, but up here
the waste of good meat is considered
almost as much of a crime as the IL
legal slaughter of it.
In the Kantishna country, for in
stance, the warden found "a quarters
of caribou and the carcasses of doz-
en- COW moose in one cache. AS there
was no federal commissioner avail
able, prosecutions were not in order,
but the hunters were compelled to
cure the meat.
Disease has made heavy inroads on
the big game of the upper Kuskok-
win, Warden Foster reported A Pc
culiar disease has attacked the moose
and even arrested the growth of their
horns, which in some cases, he found,
were but the size of a mans hand.
Mountain sheep were reported dying
by the dozens with a disease known
as lump jaw. Forest fires in the dis
trict have driven the once large herds
of caribou out in search of food.
Large migrating herds were seen max
ing their way towards Lake Mine
oumina.
Nesting places Of the grouse and
other game birds have been widely
destroyed as well by the fires, the
Warden said.

MILLS AND CAMPS
CLOSE THREE DAYS
POTLATCH PLANS TO TAKE
PART IN THREE DAYS GEL
EBRATION IN MOSCOW

That approximately every one of
the 1000 employees of the Potlatch
Lumber company together with their
families will come to Moscow to spend
all three days of the big celebration
has been rendered practically GER
tain by the action taken yesterday by
the company officials when they de-
cided to close down all their opera
tions on the night of July second and
not open them up again for work
until the morning of July seven. This
decision applies not only to the mills
at Potlatch and Elk River but also to
all logging operations in the woods
and will release over 1900 men for
the jollification.
w. A. Laird and w. D. Humiston,
in sending word to Moscow that they
have arrived at such decision, state
that they cheerfully do so in response
to the request of the Loyal Legion of
Loggers and Lumbermen, and that
they are delighted to cooperate with
their men in making it possible for
them to participate in the great pat
riotic "Welcome Home" to soldiers
and sailors which will be the central
idea in the exercises next week.
"It is very gratifying to US here in
stated member of the Gel
committee, "to know that the
lumber company and the men they
employ are all equally anxious to be
with us and help make our welcome
Home" the grand success we want it
to be. The spirit of cooperation
between the men and the officials
Of the company is splendid tribute
to both employers and employees; and
the fine attitude toward Moscow and
ner efforts to entertain them are the
of deep satisfaction to US.
We mean to do every thing in our
power to provide royal good time I
'or the Potlatch Lumber company
employees, and no matter how many
hundreds of them come, Moscow will
)e ready to provide for their COM
'ort and pleasure. We sincerely hope
hat every man working for the com
oany will come with all his relatives
md friends and stay in Moscow for
he whole celebration"
