would be impossible to give a COM

For the timber men of the United
States who have been cutting under
sized trees for pulp wood there is
a lesson In the statue by which the
Dominion of Canada, with her great
timber resources, makes it an illegal
act to cut spruce having a diameter
of one foot or less.
1t is estimated that fully half OF
the pulp wood as well as great
quantities of lumber used in the
United States at present comes from
Canada. With continuation of the
conservation methods employed by
our neighbor and the wasteful policy
at home the result can be only per-
manent disadvantage to the United
States. To save the situation laws
to conserve our timber supply must
not only be enacted they must be
enforced.

Women may be counted on to heart
lily support any move where the well
fare of their community, their state
or heir country is in the balance.
The good roads forces of the
United States have been swelling
slowly, gradually and surely for the
past 100 years. At first the advo'
Gates for better highways were few
and far between and were consider
ed by their fellowmen as fanatics
and cranks. Since the advent of the
automobile, good roads enthusiasts
have multiplied more than during
any other period In American his
tory. unquestionably the next most
powerful step was when women were
given the right to vote for good
roads,

Merchant Adventures

An English commercial agent re-
Gently returned from Finland with
the story OF an order which he was
unable to accept. II was for $780,
900 worth OF shoes. But payment?
There was the rub. They offered
him In exchange for shoes not money
but timber. But as he was not able
to place anything like an exact value
on the timber, or decide how much
it would fetch in the English mar
ket, he had reluctantly to decline
the business.
His experience, with Others like it,
prompted London financial writer
to suggest the revival of an old in

on the basis OF barter. The plan
would be to have what would amount

puprose would be not to set off
checks and drafts and bills of ex-
change against each other, but ex-

against goods. The foreign shipper
might obtain for his manufactured
articles an amount of raw materials
which he could rave certified as

on the transaction. This would be

Ashland is noted for, even in Tacoma.

ASKING PAVING
EVANS AVENUE

The paving of Evans avenue from
Mesa to Broadway, a link between
Bessemer and the Central mesa long
advocated and very much desired by
many of the property owners in that
populous section of the city, seems now
in fair way of consumation.
Yesterday there was presented to the
city commissioners a petition signed
by more than twenty-seven per cent OF
the property owners in the nine city
blocks. covering 1853 feet. asking that
the street he provided with bitulithic
material. the same rs was used on the
first paving in the city at Northern
and Evans, and on the mesa and certain
downtown streets as well. An ordi-
nance providing for such a paving dis
trict was introduced by Commissioners
Studzinsky.
A petition for tho paving of this dis
trict was started more than a year ago,
but was delayed by protests. 1t Is pro-
vided by ordinance that such protests
must bear the names of at least 30 pcr
cent OF the property owners along the
proposed frontage and must be flied
inside of 10 DAYS after the final passage
of the ordinance. The total cost Is es-
timatcd at s37.aoji5. besides the per
