Alaska Timber Cutting Be Different.
Seward Gateway.)

The virgin forests in the United States have been and are rapidly being depleted by the grow ing demand for lumber and wood. The necessity for reforestation and the scientific production of trees is being impressed upon the American people more and more each year, else our country faces the permanent loss of a great source of natural wealth.
 Alaskans can almost rejoice at the experience that the States have undergone with reference to their timber resources they can be assured thay the timber supply in Alaska will be appreciated to such an extent that it will be an unlimited future supply, With the depletion of the forests in the States and the increasing necessity for a timber supply, Alaska will probably soon be called on for her timber supply and it is here that experience gained by the States will come in Scientific cut ting and reforestaton will be inaugurated in Alaska to take of the annual depletion and not the depletion of generations and thus maintain the forests of Alaska to supply timber to the United States and the world.
 During 1880, 13897O acres were reforested in the States through the cooperation of the Federal and State Governments and thousands of agencies and individuals. There still millions of acres of idle land in the United States which would and should be growing trees had proper reforestation measures been in effect years ago and it will be some time before a timber harvest can be reaped from these.
 Yet. because of the long time element involved between the initiation and the gathering of the product reforestation will probably remain largely matter of Government activity and cannot hope to reforeSt enough land to take care of the coun- try's timber needs
 Thus Alaska will be called upon for her timber resources and although it may be time before that time comes, it should be important enough that Nation can recognize future timber source

THANKS TO SENATOR JONES.

The Seattle Times says Senator Jones of Wash ngton has promised to support as strongly as pos sble' the movement to establish arman service be- tween Seattle and Juneau The people of South east Alaska grateful for the promise, and we have the slightest doubt but that Senator Jones will make the promise good.
 The Empire believes that Senator Dill of Wash ington and the other Senators and Representatives of the Pacific Coast will also aid to the extent Of their abilities. The Postmaster General has al- ready declared in favor of such airma service.
 Under the circumstances. have every right to believe that next year will witness the establish ment of regular airmail service between this City and Seattle It will aid greatly in the transaction of business in Southeast Alaska and lay founda- ton for fast passenger air service that would mean a lot-one the value of which might be incalculabls in emergencies
 Thanks to Senator Jones and those who might join him in the good work.

PROHIBITION FAILS IN FINLAND.

Like in the United States they have had lot of trouble with Prohibition in Finland and the indt- cations are that they will soon put it into the discard.

Crimes of violence had increased.

 Easing its action on this report, the Finnish Government has submitted the proposition of con- tinuing, repeating modifying the Prohibition law to vote of the people. There seems to be little doubt but that the law will not be continued
 All of which suggests that it does not take some people so long to reach decision when hey sci about considering a proposition as it takes Americans

Says a syndicate writer:
 Since the days of Thomas Jefferson it
 has taken a two-thrd vote to nominate
 the candidate in a Democratic National
 Convention.
 The first Democratic National Convention nom- mated Gen Jackson for President some years after the death of Thomas Jefferson. Before Jacksons time National candidates for President and Vice President were selected by the party's members of Congress or by State Legislatures.
 The two-thrds rule not firmly established in Democratic National Conventions until 1844 when it prevented a third nomination of Martin Van Bur=n.

Up Trial Balloons to Learn

home in Woodside, north of Silver
Spring, in Montgomery county. is
known to have sent up few
trial balloons" to find out who's
who and what in the field of
prospective candidates.
One of these saunders is to learn
whether former Representative

run again after his defeat by
David L. Lewis, Democrat, last
year. Zihlman is now supreme
dictator of the Loyal Order of
Moose. He let it be known a few
