YANKEES GREET NEW BOATS WITH
 GREAT CLAYTON

BUENOS AIRES.-American busi- ness men in Argentina received with pleasure the announcement that the United States Shipping board had allotted seven of its fast pass enger liners for service between New York and South American ports. in cluding Buenos Aires. They have felt that they have been struggling against a handicap, owing to slow mail communication and passenger transportation between the United States and this country.
 If an American here wanted to send letter to the United States, he knew in the past that it would require at leas 30 days for a letter to reach New York, and that ire quently it would require 40. To |send a representative to the United States on a business mission would require three months before the agent could return to Buenos Aires.
 Meantime the Americans chance of doing business has fallen into the hands of European competi- tor, who could communicate with his principals by mail within three weeks. Fast steamships have been arriving here from European ports almost twice a week, while the mail from the United States came mostly by slow freight steamers.
 One of the difficulties of which the Americans here complained was the delay in receiving bills of lading for goods sent from the United States to Argentina. This was due to the fact that the bills could not be sent on the steamer which carried the goods, and there were few fast steamers which could bring them here at the time the goods arrived. When the bill of lading was sent on slow ship the goods were held in the custom house here until she arrived. :~- .. .-
 On the other hand, bills of lading on goods shipped from England came through on fast steamers, which often arrived here before the goods were received. The Americans here say that cable communication to the United States costs B cents a word and that the capacity of the cables is trebly over.

MISS SPOKANE WILL
 QUIT S|DE-SHOW|NC

SPOKANE, Wn.-With the forth coming marriage of Miss Marguerite Motie there will pass into history the character of Miss Spokane, who for eight years has typified, per sonally and in hundred other ways, the spirit of this community.
 In March, 1912, Miss Motie was chosen from some 15O young women of this city and environs as the best representative of the Indian princess created by Miss Eleanor Gaddis in an artistic competition to select ''trade mark" for the city.
 Since that time, Miss Motie, as "Miss Spokane" clad in her fringed dress and leggins of buckskin, with buckskin moccasins, has represented this city personally at many conven- tions, fairs, and celebrations, here and in other states, and her picture has been reproduced literally hum dreds of thousands of times in ad- vertising and publicity matter, and has been adopted by a number of !business firms as their trade mark.

CHARLOTTETOWN, P. F.. l. Fox ranching in this island province is steadily growing and this season it is estimated that about 5000 will be shipped from here. The prices range from $1,OOO each for silver fox skins down to $10 for the cheap est reds.
 Ranchers are giving up the breed ing of the cheaper grades of foxes, as they cost just as much to feed as the others, and domestic reds are now rarity. A number of indi- vidual farmers in this province are starting small fox ranches.

ALASKA PULP WOOD.

The district forester at Portland, Oregon, who has jurisdiction over the national forests of Washington, Oregon, and Alaska, reports that the inquiries being received by his of flee concerning the possibilities of paper pulp manufacture in South eastern Alaska presage the extension of this important industry to this new field in the near future.
 The constantly rising pulpwood cost to mills in the United States, as the source of raw material gets more remote from the present pulp manufacturing centers, are responsi- ble in part for the increasing price of paper, which has reached such a high point that it has been the sub ject of a number of congressional IuNcSLlSdtioiS. All douiiuait ooPPiS of cheap paper is of great import ance to the United States. and if this is to be assured in the face of the increasing demand it will be necessary for the industry to de velop in new regions having vast supply of cheap pulping woods in connection with cheap water power.
 The district forester recently stat ed: "The immense timber and pow CT resources of Southeastern Alas ka are we'll adapted to the needs of the paper industry. and the forest service is anxious to see them brought into use for this purpose. It is furnishing inquirers with all available information concerning the possibilities there in an effort to en- courage their interest in this ne" field. whose development will be oi great benefit to the Nation as 3 whole as we'll as to Alaska"
