BURNING HOMES

ON THE SIXTH DAY OF LAST July a man set five to more than a score of homes. Every home was entirely consumed and there was no insurance. The man went on his way, if not rejoicing, at least with out visible evidence of regret. The homes he had destroyed were not yet built; they were still in the tree trunks awaiting the lumberman to prepare them for the builder. But economically these homes were de- stroyed as surely as though the trees had been made into lumber and the lumber into structures.
 Occurances of this kind are al- most daily event in America. This loss of our leading natural resource is rapidly bringing the country to the same condition as exists in China and other deforested countries.
 We pride ourselves on our econo- mic independence. At present we are importing over half our pulp ma. terial from Canada and the Scan dinavian countries. This situa tion will continue to grow worse, com polling us to import more and more of our forest products from foreign countries. It is the duty of every American to prevent such a condi- -tion.

young lambs fall prey to them in the interior country.
 The eagle can serve no good pur- pose and should be classed with the wolf and coyote in it's destructive ness. There has been no reason other than sentimental ones for it's existence. Fox ranchers slaim that they have seen these birds time and again carry off the fox pups, and if this be so, $500 pup is too expen- sive meal to provide even the em- blem of our country. They also waste salmon and trout in great numbers. In the states where the eagle is rare ly seen, the damage they do is so small it is occasionally noticed, but when one remembers that they are in Alaska by the tens of thousands, the amount of food required for them is something enormous.
 We believe the fox farmers should be given every protection possible. The industry is new one and full of expense the first few years. It must be also remembered that the foxes run loose on the small isl ands and there is no way of protect mics.

SHOULD WE PRESS FRANCE?

France owes our government three billion dollars, besides the accrued interest. Italy owes fully half as much. Interest on Liberty bonds and other obliga tions covering these loans costs our taxpayers more than s200, 100000 a year. Unless these nations pay us, our people must be taxed to pay the principal also.
 Neither France nor Italy has made any arrangements for pay ment of these enormous debts to the United States. France being our largest debtor, her case has been most discussed Why does she not pay or agree to pay?
 Briefly, this is Frances side of the case. She suffered. in a com mon cause and lost more than any other allied nation in men, money and property. She also loaned to smaller allied nations which have not repaid her. She has no real assurances of collecting any sub- stantial separations from Germany, owing to the uncertainties of the Dawes plan. If she knew that Ger many would pay, she would agree to pay us.
 tlnt LNrnn tc spending much money for military preparedness which ought to be used to pay her debts.
 France then asserts that her for mer allies, including the United States, have repudiated their propo- sition to secure her from future German aggression, which she fears. Besides, France now is in the midst of a financial crisis in which war debts are not even considered. France also has an alliance with Po- land and there are other complica- tions.
 So, the question is a most diffi- cult one all around. If we press France for payment, her national structure may collapse and she will be unable to pay at all. Europe is still flied with distrust and seelh. ing with hate. Each nation nas in- ternal as we'll as external troubles.
 Considering all the conditions men tioned-and there are many more complexities involved-it looks as thought we must wait, regardless of the ustice of our claims.

Old Alaskan Cutter
 Used By McMillan

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The old Dundee whaling vessel Thetis, vet eran in Arctic cruises, has been char tered by the McMillan party to be used as a second ship in his proposed Arctic expedition this summer. The explorers own schooner, the Bowdoin, will be used to transport the scien- tific party, while the Thetis will carry the planes and aviators to be used by the expedition.
 In 1884 the Thetis was sent to the rescue of the Lieut. Greedy expedition which made it's winter quarters at Discovery Harbor, Grinnell Land, and at which time Greedy and six men were all that arrived when the Thetis under command of Winfield s. Schley, arrived.
 Later the Thetis was used as a gun boat and revenue cutter in Alaskan waters, and served as a floating court.

Doc Must'a Been Wrono.

A Nebraska woman, 80 years old, had her hair bobbed, caught cold and died, according to news dispatch.
 Something wrong about this for women today can shed their hair, clothes and everything else, even in the coldest weather without catching cold.
 Our own guess is the doc skid ded in his diagnosis and what the woman really died from was shock of not having had her husbands or daughter-in-law oppose her having it bobbed

BOUNTY ON EAGLES

The Anchorage Times takes the legislature to task for it's failure to defeat the bounty on eagles. The Times evidently forgets the hund- reds of fox farmers who are losing large sums yearly through the depre- dations of these birds. The eagle is one of the greatest menaces to the fox farmer, and is also one of the most destructive elements to Alaska game. Even young deer are carried away by the eagles and hundreds of

BRITISH PEERS IN SEWING MATCH
 WITH WOMEN

LONDON, Eng, Mar. 5.-Sewing and other needlework has become one of the favorite pastimes of some of the best-known British peers.
 The Earl of Listowel, one of the famous wild game hunters of England has entered for a gold thimble prize which is to be one of the features of needlework competition arranged by the Friends of the Poor on May at Norfolk House, St. James Square, loaned for the occasion by the Duch- ess of Norfolk.

Lord Gainford is an expert in needlework on canvas, which he often does on the train between London and his coun try home.

 BURNED, FURNACE
LEAPS FROM FOUNDRY CRATE SOON AFTER FIRE IS MADE
 BY THE JANITOR

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Mar. 5,-H o " Albert Lee Geaver, F years old, got into a furnace at the plant of the Na- tional Forge Co.,, where he was fatal ly burned today, is a mystery to his parents, Mir. and Mrs. William r. Grea- yer.
 . John Jones. the negro janitor, said that when the fire was lighted in the furnace used to melt iron, he did not know the boy was there. The boy, yeritable ball of fire leaped from the flaming interior a minute after the furnace was lighted, the negro told officers.
 Between lapses into unconscious ness at the city hospital, Albert told his mother that he had lain down be- side the furnace and went to sleep last night The mother said the boy may have meant inside of the fur mace instead of beside it.
 Jones lighted the furnace at G:20 this morning, he told officials of the company. Flames flared up and filled the entire interior of the furnace, ac- cording to the janitor. Jones said he walked away. then heard scream. and as he turned the boy jumped out of the opening.
 Near at hand was a bucket of old rags which the negro seized in his at tempt to smother the flames. He call ed for help, and another employe hur- riedly responded The boys clothes were burned off and his hands and entire body were severely scorced.
 The furnace door through which Al bert escaped is about two feet high and four and a half feet wide. | EDIT
