Fairbanks as usual heads in the interior Alasak gold camps. While it's yield has dropped off much com pared to the earlier days of the camp, Fairbanks is producer of no little consequence, and the fact it is so ex- tensively an individual camp means the money is well distributed. Fair \ banks is the center of activity in the Tanana valley, and the camps of Tolo- vana and Hot Springs are within the sixty-mile radius, which means they may we'll be counted portion of the Fairbanks camp. The entire Panama valley has population of $500, which means it is one of the most active centers in the North, and one of the most progressive in the entire Yukon basin.
 "Nenana, which does not appear among the gold producers is the gov ernment railway town only forty miles north of Fairbanks. The work on the railway to connect Fairbanks and Nenana has been progressing steadily all season, and will be com pleted by the end of November, this year, when the two towns will have steady rail communication. The road way is built for a standard guage road, and ties provided for that width but for the present the line is to be made narrow guagge, and so arranged that the rails can be spread to stand ard measurements when required.
 Tt possibly will be a couple of years before the railway to connect Fairbanks and Nenana with the Ala skan coast will be completed, depend ing, of course, largely on the appro- priation which congress will allow each season. Autos now run out BIO miles from Fairbanks to Chitina, the interi- or terminus of the Copper River & Northwestern railway, which, connects on the coast end at Cordova. The autos have been making the trip over the road steadily during the good weather this summer in two and a half to three days. The wagon road to Valdez is sixty miles longer and quite noun tainous, so is not used so much as the Chitina route. A good many tour sts have been travelling the auto route from Fairbanks to the coast this sum. mer. After the railway is completed from Nenana to the coast, look for heavy tourist traffic down the Yukon annually and out over the railway It will make wonderful trip with no repetition of scenery. and many new phases. Now is the time for the North to begin to exploit this great circle route, and keep the business coming by way of Dawson.
 'The Koyukuk camp did not de- velop the big proposition which some thot earlier in the season would be proved on the Bettles river. It is to be regretted the thing did not prove out as big as some anticipated, but con- tinued prospecting may yet prove there is rich paystreak in the coun- try and mean the opening of very active camp.

An interesting estimate of the gold output of the various placer camps of the interior of Alaska and review of the mining and other activities of that region is given by Volney Rich mond, superintendent of the North ern Commercial company, who is in Dawson after having just completed his annual tour of inspection of the company's posts in that large area, MT Richmond says:
 From data gathered from various reliable agencies in the different camps, estimate the placer gold yield of each of the camps this season will be approximately as follows:

Definite announcement that the Government will continue the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates during 1920 has been received from the Treasury Department by some of the directors of the War Loan Organizations.
 This, no, doubt will be pleas ing to Americans, as well as to those who have taken ad- vantage of the opportunity of saving offered by the Govern ment through the Thrift and War Savings Stamp and the Treasury Savings Certificates,

kills to power of initiative. It stunts lives and hurries on i'll health. The insufficiently nour- ished child has not the strength to resist disease.
 We have here from our lack of thrift in America these things:
 1st. III health, wasting dis ease, and a grave in the potter's field.
 2nd. Stunted lives, inefficient men, lack of initiative, failure and a growing army of the sub- merged, which more and more ferment and social un- rest.
 3rd. Increased numbers of penitentiaries, pauper asylums, poor farms, insane asylums, houses of correction, reformator- ies and other places of public de- tention.
 And to these we may add the report of the Illinois Survey which declares that the chief cause of immortality among woman is pow erty and it's ally, ignorance. That Survey found that 76 per cent of fallen girls had not passed the  grammer grade in schools be- cause of poverty, and that there was very low per cent of i'm mortality among high school and college girls.
 Here we have directly trace able to the one great cause, viz., lack of thrift, the chief danger that besets America today. Lack of thrift with it's attendant pro- ducts of poverty and ignorance give us an army of disappointed, discouraged and dependent men and women, If there is unem- ployment, they are, of necessity, first among the jobless. There first thought is to find fault with the Government and the country. They are if and fertile subjects for the 1. w. w., the Bolshevist, the agitator and the demogue.
 There is only one movement in America to encourage thrift. It is the Governments plan for the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates. There is no nobler endeavor. It stimulates the indi- vidual to have solicitude about the future. It make the citizen who owns War Savings Stamps or Certificates a partner in the Government, makes him a part owner in his country, it gives him a new interest in the flag. B.. F.

clean, and filth and dirt mean i'll health, consumption and a pauper's grave.
 Teach t he people thrift. Teach them to lay aside a part of their savings. Teach them to have thought of the morrow. Teach them to eschew $25 hats, $2O shoes and $20O coats off wages that cannot warrant these things.
 Teach them not to be spend thrifts and wasters for the ulti- mate lot of the spendthrift and the waster is to be at 65 years of age one of that 97 out of every 100. in part or in whole. depend upon kindred, friends or the pub lie for the bread eat. for the clothing they wear, for the roof under which they find shelter. Poverty is ignorance. and ignor- ance is poverty. Then are twin calamities. They mean poverty handed down from father to son, Combined they mean crime and criminality. Go to the penitent- iaries and there study th e inmates. There you will find the havoc that ignorance and poverty work upon mankind.
 Poverty people the pauper asylums. the poor houses. the insane asylums, the houses of correction, the reformatories and other places of public detention.
 More than 8.50O,OOO people, over ten years of age, in America cannot read the daily newspaper. There is still with us the astound- ing 24.6 per cent of American drafted men in the late war who were illiterate. There is the climax in the terrifying story of the illiterate young men between 21 and 31 all directly attributable to the destructive habit of non thrift in America.
 Lack of thrift is the blight of children. Statistics from the health bureau in the city of Port land are that 5000 out of 40,000 school children go to school with out having enough to eat. This is in a city with a per capita wealth exceeded by but one or two cities in America. The facts are confirmed by statistics from health bureaus in other large cities.

Reasons For Thrift.

ordinary.
 Expenditures are terrific. The people are on a mad financial spree. Normal business princi- pies are dead. Thoughts of thrift are forgotten. A mans hat at $20 has become a commonplace. Portland dealers placed them on sale and the supply was exhaust ed. The dealers were plunged into wonderment and awe. They are now buying hats that will be sold at $25 and $30.
 Nothing is stable. New York manufacturers and jobbers no longer quote prices of goods on future delivery. They tell you the price now and say that the price on future orders will be con- trolled by the then market. Meanwhile, operatives in the fac torres demand higher and higher wages and operators grant them. Operators have found that any price asked will be paid. and the advanced wage is granted and added with increased profit to the price at which the goods to the retailer. The public comes along and pays whatever is asked.
 And so the pyramiding goes on. People were excited during the war. In many ways they are crazy now. They never saw So much money spent before, never saw it spent so lavishly, never saw it come and go so easily.
 People seem crazed with the notion that any extravagant thing any prodigal purchase, any figure of wage, any measure of profit is obtainable.
 Do you realize what havoc habits of unthrift are workihg'in Amer ica? In Portland in 1918, with an increase of 47,00O in popula- ton, we built 266 dwelling houses, We bought $500 automobiles. We spent something over half n mill lion for houses; more than ten million for automobiles. The mortgage indebtedness placed on homes for the purchase of auto mobiles was S7. .000, 900.
 Listen: Sixty out of every hun dred persons who die in the United States leave no estate whatever, and of the remaining thirty,,four only nine leave estates larger than $5OO0. At the age of 65, ninety seven out of every hundred persons in America are partially or wholly dependent upon relatives, friends or the public for their daily bread, for their clothing and for a roof un- der which to sleep. Ninety eight per cent of the American people are living from day to day on their wages, and a loss of employ ment would mean pauperism for all but two per cent.
 Fewer than 6,0OO,OOO Ameri- can families own their own homes 1000, 1000 are carrying mortgages and 100000 are renters. Every seven years, one-third of the population of the city of New York applies for charity. One person in every ten who dies in our large cities is buried in a pauper's grave.
 These figures are from Govern ment statistics. They are a terrifying story of poverty. Surgeon General Gorgas. who made the Canal Zone habitable, said in a public address: ''Physi- clans have located .he great cause
