The accessible timber of the world
is inadequate to the requirements of
modern civilization, says the Forest
Service United States Department of
Agriculture. We now draw one.third
of III paper requirements from
Canada. There is an embargo OIL the
export of pulp wood from the crown
lands Of Canada, and this is likely to
be extended to all forest lands in the
Dominion. completely shutting off
the supply of raw material for the
paper industry of the United States,
This illustrates the hazard of becom-
ing dependent upon foreign supplies
of timber, it is pointed out.

MEXICAN CONSUL HERE ON AFFAIRS
 OF GOVERNMENT
lose A. Valenzuela Consul at Seattle Investigating Con-
 ditions Tn Alaska.

To investigate conditions of Mexi- can residents in Alaska, Jose A. Valenzuela, Consul of Mexico at Seattle, arrived in Juneau on the steamer Queen from Ketchikan and will spend several days here. The Consul has Jurisdiction over Mexi- can affairs in the States of Wash ington and Oregon and the Terri tory of Alaska
 Mr. yalenzuela came north to make special investi gation of conditions of his country fellows at Kctchikan and at Karluk, his Gov ernment having received complaints from these two places, he said. He spent several days in Ketchikan ad- justing affairs there and while on his way to the Westward made the decision to stop at the towns en- route to Karluk.
 4'I am anxious to work in coop oration with the authorities in All aska in adjusting actions of my conntryfellows in this Territory 7 said Mir. Valenzuela. q will take tiitO tObotdti ubloii DOth tOin pihiiiJS of The authorities and complaints of the Mexican residents here
 MT. Valenzuela has had jurisdic- tion in the two northwestern states and Alaska for the past year, main-' taining his headquarters at Seattle Previous to this time he spent sev- eral years at various posts in the Eastern States
 This is his first trip to Alaska The country which has been unroll- ed before him is far different then he had anticipated seeing, he de- clares.
 Tt is so different from all my ideas of the north,' he said. The sunshine, the warmth and the vege- tation and beautiful flowers. It is a wonderful country"
 MT. ValenZuela is anxious that the people of Alaska know of his country as it really is and is pre- pairing an article for this purpose.
 The people of the North have an erroneous idea of Mexico he said.
 It is no wonder to me that Mex leo is not known as 1t really is to- day, to the people so far distant, for l, and I ask pardon, harbored the idea that l was coming to land inhabited almost entirely by Es- kimos." a
 Rodolfo Ramirez, formerly Consul of Mexico to Alaska, in the summer of 1921 and who maintained his headquarters at Juneau, was re- leased from government service i'm mediately after leaving Alaska and is now in Mexico, Mir Valenzuela said.
 MT. Valenzuela is a guest at the Hotel Zynda.

recently for the first time, according to statement made by G. R. Nor ris, of Great Falls, Mont.
 The story was brought to light by James and Patrick McEvoy, of Cana. bar, when they stated they had know. ledge of two graves of white men killed there in the early days by hostile Indians. None of the oldest pioneers here, including the McEvoys, who have lived here more than forty years, knew the identity of the men.
 MT. Morris, who was scout un. der General Custer and General Stan ley during their expedition in 1873, after hearing the. story of the m- known dead. said.
 When I was a scout with Custer and Stanley in 1873, we had fight with Sioux Indians on the north side of the Big Yellowstone river, across and in the bottom above the mouth of the Tongue River. In the fight, the veteran army surgeon, Dr. Hal singer, of Clusters cavalry, and Sut- Ter, were killed and the bodies were buried. Mules trampled over the graves oblitering traces of burial This was done to keep the Indians from scalping the men. My part. ner, Charles Reynolds. and I saw them killed" ~

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Reflected.

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very sue cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing influ- ence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Ro is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of suc- cess.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing state ment that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected Is because kidney trouble is so com mon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bot ties of two sizes. medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bihg- hamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention thiA.s neIs ( AdveItiaement) ..~

SOME ODD CUNNING METHODS
Bill Collectors Have Various Ways Of
Bringing siow-PayIng Customers
to a Settlement.

The Woman was talking the other
day with the man who runs the corner
drug store about the way people didn't
pay bills. He said he used to know a
man in his home town who ran up a
tailor bill for some time and after
several requests on the part Of the
tailor notation was added to the bill
to the effect that an immediate settle
ment would be appreciated
The man owing the bill called and
gave the tailor his check and said ::
Nov, look here. Abe, I'll pay my bills
all right, but don't write anything on
the bottom Of them"
A few months later another bill re-
manned unpaid In spite Of several dupli-
Gates sent by Abe, SO another was sent
on which was scrubbed: you told
me not to write anything on your bill
so / won't"
The Woman said she used to know
Of grocer who, when the bills were
too long overdue. wrote on them: PAY
something. If It's only attention.

IDEA FOR FUEL CONSERVATION
New Jersey Man Has Evolved schems
Which II viii Be Admitted Has
Many Good Points.

Apprehension of a coal shortage, to-
gether with the upward trend In fuel
prices, has caused the wise suburban
lite actively to consider ways and
means OF providing for his comfort
and warmth during the winter.
One enterprising Jerseyite has par
italy met the situation by capitalize
ing on his open fireplaces In his
Hackensack home In q rather novel
manner. Not wishing to trouble with
a log fire and also being OF the opin-
ion that 1t did not give OF sufficient
heat, Mr.. Suburbanite purchased a
small stove, which he set in the open
fireplace, the pipe being extended up
the chimney.
The stove burns wood or pea coal,
Of which there is no shortage, and
radiates considerable heat, not only
within the room, but In the adjoining
rooms. With the furnace operating
on curtailed supply Of fuel, the fire.
place stove permits the registers In
that portion Of the house to be turned
off, shunting whatever heat might be
produced to other sections Of the
house
The stove also serves a practical
purpose, its fiat top permitting the
boiling Of water, preparation of toast
or other light housekeeping prac-
tees.
Other features in favor Of the in
novation are the fact that 1t is out OF
the way and takes up no additional
space; and, unlike log fire in an
open fireplace, gives of no sparks nor
smoke and consequently meets with
the approval Of the housewife.--New
York Sun.
