BUILDING RESUMPTION

The building situation in the big cities is clearing as a result of the de. cline in the price of materials andto less extent, of labor. A resumption of building more than most other things, is an endication of return to normally and of an end to unemploy ment. Materials entering into con. struction of the buildings must be manufactured, as we'll as the articles that go into their furnishing. That means increased activity in many lines of industary. Futhur more in the case of new manucturing establishments that are being erected, more opportun. ity for employment is presented after the structure is completed and out. put begins.

ITALY STANDS BY U. S.

Italy supports the United States in it's stand on the Japanese mandate over Yap. Official replies to the Hughes note have not yet been re- ceived from France and Great Brit ain, but the tone of the Italian reply indicates the position that will be talk en by te others. No other contention is possible, as the arguments in the American note are simply unanswer- able. Japan cl2ims the island by right of the mandate, such as it is, that she has received, but there was no author ity, either in the Versailles Treaty or otherwise, for it's grant. If the Japs wish to perserve the respect of the rest of the world they will gracefully withdraw from the impossible attit- ude toward Yap they have assumed.

THE NIZlNA BRIDGE

The Murray measure, appropriating $25,000 for bridge over the Nizina river, to be built under the direction of the Alaska road commission, who will furnish the balance of the funds necessary for construction was passed.
 This is by far the best news as far as trails and bridges are con- cerned that we have heard in this section for several years.
 Up to now there have been only promises and plans made, but as the measure has been placed on the statutes, we can expect to see a substantial bridge built. Not that the twenty five thousand dollars will build the bridge but the fact that our representative was able to have the bill passed created such a favorable impression with the Alas ka road commission that the funds necessary to complete this important structure will now be forthcoming from that department.
 It certainly makes us feel good to know that at last travel to the out lying undeveloped areas will be made possible.
 It will mean, if railroad rates are not increased, an influx of prospec- tors and peope of small amounts of capital, which after all are the people that we need for development The big money interests will always buy a prospect if a good showing is made and transportation rates are within reason.
 In presenting the measure for the appropriation, MT. Murray was in a position to speak feelingly on the subject himself, for in order to go to his property on Young creek, he has crossed the river at all it's stages Mccarthy News.

"THE LAST GREAT STAND"

President Hardin's proclamation setting aside the period of this week as Forest Protection Week bids the American people to look to the protection and care of their remain ing forest resources. That there is need for such admonition is fully war ranted when one faces squarely the facts of timber depletion. The Pa cific northwest is now the nations wood lot--how long will it remain such if forest fires are not kept out of our timber? Unless each man, wo- man and child that goes into our forests realizes a personal responsi- bility regarding fire the Hast great stand" of timber of the northwest will go, just as the white pine of New England and the lake states went, and like the yellow pine of the south is going now.
 Timber depletion has now reached a point in this country where three fifths of the primeval forests are gone and where 61 per cent of the timber that is left is west of the great plains, Col. w. B. Greeley chief forester of the United States forest service, recently told the members of the Chicago Association of Commerce.
 Liberal use of American forests was necessary part of the commer cial growth of this nation, Col. Gree ley believes, but forest protection and reforestation should have been prac ticed, if not from the start, at least in late years.
 There is an abundant area of for est land in this country to support all industries, and liberal supply of wood is most necessary to the peo pie of this country. It was thought that, like the European countries, w would use, when our civilization wa, older, but one-third or one-half a. much wood per capita as we did fl the early days But this rule does no affect the American people.
