ROAD WORK STARTING
 IN RYDER DISTRICT

The Alaska Road commission, with Superintendent Anton Eide in charge, has begun the construction of a public highway leading from the town of Hyder up the Salmon river, on the American side, as far as Mile 12, where the Canadian bor- der begins, there to connect with the Canadian road. The construc- tion force is now clearing Premier avenue, the main street of Hyder. The commission also plans to build a substantial bridge to span Salmon river, so prospectors and miners may explore the mineral possibilities on the American side.

GOLD STRANGERS FOUND ON COAST:
 VALUES ARE b|G

Raw gold f1ecking the surface of crystal white quartz, samples as pretty as any on the shelves of the collectors of rare and valuable ore were taken to Juneau recently from the scene of the latest gold strike on Chichagoff island, made by Wal ! ter Johnson and A. Davies.
 The two prospectors have been working on Chichagoff island for some time, combing the hills for gold bearing lodges. On June 25, while following a stream, they saw where a piece of quartz had broken off from the main ledge, and upon looking it over, found it full of free, visible gold.
 Five different lodges were found. all running in such direction as to make it seem possible that they, at some point further on, form one big ore body. The lodges so far found are from three to fourteen inches in width. The quartz is pure white, some of it crystalized, and the gold is right in the quartz, free milling and in plain sight.
 Assays have not as yet been com pleted, but there is no doubt that the rock will run up into the hum dreds of dollars ton. It is so rich that a man with a mortar could make wages crushing it out and pan ming the gold.
 The site of this newest discovery is a mile and a half south of the Apex ground, bonded to the Chicha- golf company. It is three thousand feet from Lizianski straits at an elevation of 1,400 feet above sea level. .......
 The claims were located on July 5, there being a group of nine of them. The location was made and the recording completed in the name of Dr. w. A. Borland, Frank Shot ter and W. H. Dodge of Hoonah, and David Housel of Juneau, the syndicate backing the discoverers.

PARTISANSHIP.

The distemper that is doing this country more harm than all its other afflictions put together is be- sotted partisanship. Except in pub lie life, men consider and usually agree upon matters of the utmost importance without giving a though: to political associations. In Con- gresS, committee made up of three Republicans and two Democrats ray be depended upon to divide three to two on the simplest proposition.
 We had a painful example of this, says the New York World, in the reports on the aviation service, and the senate naval subcommittee gives us a dreary repetition of it in its findings on the war-medal contro- versy. We shall have the same thing, no doubt, from the scores of Investigations that have been in progress for months past. Where partyism is uppermost, facts are as hopelessly in dispute as conclusions.
 This is the disease that is para lyzing government at time when there is desperate need not only of good citizenship and wise statesman ship, but of common sense and com mon honesty It is holding up the peace. It is delaying reconstruc- ton. Ii is preventing the reform and reduction of expenditure and taxation. It is exposing our indus try and commerce to serious perils. On the question of what is black and what is white our legislators vote three to two with the expecta- tion that the issue twill finally be settled at the presidential election.
 No great nation can prosper or progress under such system. Some where and somehow men must be found who will be at least ordinarily intelligent and at least commonly self-reliant. Representative govern ment which is so fixed and hard ened in partisanship as to be in capable of decision, incapable even of agreement on any subject, is no government at all.

Iof their currencies is increasing, and ultimately, if this change continues, prices of all commodities in those countries should fall. As the costs of living decline there is the added incentive to save. and, naturally ex- travagance and speculation should decrease. With this the morale of the people will improve; production will expand still further; their gov ernments will grow more stable, and full restoration of normal conditions will follow as an inevitable result.
 It is this ultimate condition in Europe, to which all recent signs point, for which the United States must be prepared. It forecasts the end of the abnormal advantages that accrued to us from the world war, and the re-establishment of that trade competition which will be the test of whether or not this country is to hold a part, at least, of what was thrust upon it, or surrender all and stand just where it stood before the war.

ECONOMIC CHANGE IN EUROPE

The course of European exchange in the last four months is a barom- eter of foreign conditions that should not be overlooked by busi- ness of the United States, advises the Cincinnati Enquirer. It marks progress in currency deflation in those countries as we'll as trade re- covery Sterling, francs, lire and marks are far below their interna- tional values, and far below their normal ration with the dollar. There still is much irregularity in the mar ket for all of those exchanges. Yet, their recovery within the period named is remarkable, when the ex- treme laws reached by them is con sidered. Sterling has increased B percent, francs 40 percent, lire 65 percent, and marks 150 percent. It suggests the turning of the tide for permanent betterment of trade and economic conditions for those coun- tries.
 In the same ratio by which their exchanges in relation to the dollar in trade, the value of their currency at home enhances and defation is facilitated. The premium on gold in these countries, in other words, is declining; the purchasing power

NORTH IS ATTRACTING
 ATTENTION IN STATES

That the whole Pacific coast is
 looking toward Alaska for its fu-
 ture supply of pulpwood and that the embargo put on the shipment of pulpwood by Canada is causing Am erican paper factories to move across the line, is the news brought to Juneau by W. P. Lass, official of the Alaska Pulp & Paper company, says the Juneau Empire.
 MT. Lass also said his company feels satisfied with it's investment and is certain that it's mill at Speel
 river will be the forerunner of many
 more mills that will come to Alaska. The machinery for the Speel river plant has been shipped from the East. Supplies that have been pur-
 chased on the Pacific coast will be assembled with it and all shipped
 direct from Seattle to Speel river The sawmill has been put in op- eration at Speel river and will saw out the planking for the new wharf,
 the piling for which has been driv-
 en. It is hoped the wharf will be completed by the time the shipment of machinery arrives from Seattle.

 The company earned in excess of $1.o0o 900 on the $10.oo0,0O0 of common stock in the first half of the year and the second half earnings are expected to be at least twic> as large.
 Continuing, the Wall Street Journal says:

STATE BUYS MEAT

The trustees of the penitentiary at their meeting her this week let a contract to Cudahy, the meat packer, for 50,0U pounds of meat per month during the next three months at + cents per pound. That is the amount of meat the convicts con sume nearly every month in the year, except in the winter and spring, when they are fed on fresh pork, produced on 'fhe farms Under the law the convict farms are required to raise all supplies but they have never been able to make their meat. The care of the hogs. cat tie and other live stock is left to the conv.cts and little do they care whether the state raises it's meat or not It is tile same with cattle and mules; that in dustry has been a failure, so much so that the last legislature ordered the truaees to sell all breeding stock, cattle. mares and jacks The hogs were not ordered sold, and the farms will continue to pro- 9uce a little fresh pork.

Babe Ruth

From the Weekly ReView.
 If MT. Ruth, by reason of his unques- toned position as hero, is earnestly con- suited about the high cost of living and the desirabiity of trading with the Rus sian co-operatives. if his opinion is sought as to the possibilities of communicating with Mars, then will come the real test of his greatness. Matters need go but little further and no less than this will happen. No public error is so com mon as to confuse the symbol with the thing, error which the symbols them- selves are only too prone to share. It is a wise nation and a rare that knows it own heroes-and their limitations. To he wise and hero is granted to but few among the gods. But to have had a Babe Ruth at all, whatever fortune hol.i for him (and us) is cause for present thankfulness

BIG SUIT BEFORE COURT

The state revenue agent is demanding few million dollars from the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad Company. Deposi- tions have been taken before K. B. Rick etts, special chancellor. and he now has the matter under advisement. Thirty odd years ago the Gulf and Ship Island was given a special charter by the legislature, also thousands of sections of pine lands. The charter provided that the road was to run from Guifport to Brandon, but Brandon was left fifteen miles to the north, and the road came on to Jackson. The charge is that it violated it's charter. When the road was built the lands do- mated by the state were worth about = cents per acre. They are now worth an average of $50 per acre
