i. S. FACES TRADE
TEST WITH EUROPE
Debtor Nations Prepare to
offer Stiff Competition to
American Markets.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Cable to The star.

Special Gable to The Star.
LONDON. September 8-American
business men can make up their minds
to face strong and increasing buyer
opposition from European countries for
years to come This does not indicate,
in England at least. luminosity toward
America or American goods. Indeed,
some American goods have preference
over home products which will be hard
to overcome The opposition Is belng
brought about by purely economic and
financial causes.
All the countries of Europe owe
America money. They must all go into
the money markets at certain times and
buy dollars to pay their debts. The
rate of exchange is against them all.
So is the balance of trade.
Three English business men in three
different lines of trade pointed this
out to the writer today. They feel that
this balance of trade must be adjusted
that they must sell more goods abroad
and buy fewer goods and raw materials
from other nations. This is the sentl-
ment behind the slogan Buy British
Goods" which now has, in the minds
of Englishmen at least. been charged
70 Buy Imperial Goods"
Tourists Spend Millions.
Many American business men, even
those striving for British trade. regard
this merely as a slogan, not to be taken
seriously. They point out that See
America First" has not prevented
Americans from spending half billion
dollars abroad this year. But British
business men are acting instead of
talking. They are determined to shake
off the bonds imposed by the necessity
! OF buying raw materials or goods from
other countries
II this policy were put into words
(they do not talk much about it, 1t
might be called 'interdependence." The
| empire is looking to its colonies to sup
ply raw materials and to provide a
larger market for British goods Food
| supplies will be drawn from Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and South
| Africa Metals will come from the Far
East possessions. Africa, Australia and
| Canada. Similarly. production of other
raw materials will be encouraged.
The greater part of the tobacco now
consumed in Great Britain is in the
| form of cigarettes. The leaf always has
been bought in America but British
| companies have taken American seed
| and are producing a part of their own
requirements in colonies south of the
| equator.
The British manufacturers are in
exactly the same position as the rubber
manufacturers in the United States
whose raw supplies must come from
| British or Dutch sources They are de-
/ termined to grow their own" There
seems general agreement, moreover on
| the policy of raising the English tariff
walls against foreign goods

 COUGARS GO

STANDPOINT, Idaho, March 16-- Bob Bakker, famous cougar hunt CT of the northwest, takes orders for the snarling mountain cats as if they were so many groceries.
 This season he is filling the re- quest of German circus for 100 cougars, and he ranges the forests of Idaho, Washington and Mon tana with his axe and three .cou- gar hounds,' catching hisa cats alive. With a steel lariat, he hauls them out of the trees.
 The rest of his equipment con sists of a pair of light tree climb CTS, leather muzzle and a few short pieces of sash cord. He has no need of a gun.
 On one recent expedition, typi. cal of Bakers daily round of toll, six cats were caught. Bakker and two friends stalked about until they found the body of freshly killed mule-deer doe. Tracks showed that the cougars that kill. ed it went in several directions.
 Each dog started on a separate track, and one of them soon treed ferocious cat The men, hasten. ing to the spot, found the dog paying under tree from which young cougar 'spat and snarled
 Bakker obtained a slender 15 foot pole and attached the wire cable, with it's moose about ten inches in diameter, one of the hunters related, and climbing the tree, flung it over the cougars head. The cable was pulled tight and the cat hauled from the tree
 One man clung to the moose about it's neck, another clutched it by the tail, and Bakker grabbed the big beast by the throat and adjusted a collar, chain and mug gle. An average sized cougar is about seven feet from tip to tip and weighs approximately 125 pounds.
 Sometimes the hunter cuts the tree down. Bakker has had his narrow escapes, but has managed to "get his cat" hundreds oi times.

 Recalling some of the difficult ties encountered in the construc- tion of the Elks' Hall here, mem- bers related this week. of the four years work from the time the late George F. Forrest re- ceived an inspiration to build while attending the Grand Lodge in Cincinnati in 1904 until the building was dedicated iin 1908.
 With a small sum on hand the location on which the building now stands was purchased. By issuing certificates of debentnre, the members raised $4,000 which was spent in grading and erect ing the walls for the first fioor.i
 When this was accomplished, another obstacle presented itself: the lodge was out of funds, and had to raise an additional $20,- 900 to complete the building.
 It seemed advisable, in order that all might share in the lia- bilities, to incorporate the lodge. Application was made to the Grand Lodge for permission to incorporate under the laws of Washington. which, request was denied. As the Elks could not incorporate secret order under the laws of Alaska they were compelled to form the Juneau Building and Improvement Com pany. e sss sss;..:
 Stockholders were restricted to members of the Elks in good standing, and in this way suffi- cient funds were raised to pay for the completion of the present home. i ses es .s 48
