question and we say this-busi- ness must be conducted so that the benefits shall be immediate, changing the rules when neces- sary to meet changing condi- tions. To say that no exporta- tion of raw materials shall be allowed (the Empires position) is to say that no wool shall be imported into America from Australia, no manganese from Russia, no timber from Canada, no rubber from Africa, Brazil, etc., no mahogany from Mexico, etc.. etc., but that each coun- tly shall prohibit export and thus force the manufacturer to go into the country of original production. So the Empire ar Gues.
 This is an untenable position.
 We have goods to sell Mill men of Bellingham, Washington have the money. Why isn't it good business to sell our timber? The mills of Alaska can buy on- ly a very limited supply of tim Der and have their own camps. Shall our logging camps be clos cd down just as soon as these two mills have enough logs for the current year? The Empire says "Yes."
 Our present independent log gers can log 20 million feet of logs per year, worth in the eX- port market $300,O00 to loggers and toWboats, but only $160,O00 Nooooooooooc>ooo ooooooooooooo> 8

to the local market IF the mills could buy. Shall we sell to Bell ingham? or shall we keep the men in idleness. The Empire says we must keep the men in idleness.
 Our MT. William L. Paul had contract for hemlCck timber Ca positive drug on the ma1ket) in the amount of 6O,O00,O00 feet per year which would have re- leased $720 900 among the log gers and toWboats of Southeast ern Alaska. The Forest Depart ment killed that order by refus- ing an export permit. The For est Department kills business because it's managers have no business acumen.
 We might mention the eXpOr- tation of raw fish of those can neries which bring all their help and supplies, etc., from Seattle, to further clinch our argument and show that the only place where the government refuses to aid business is in the Forest Department.
 If the Empire were consistent, it would advocate the prOhibi- tion of the thousands of Orient- al laborers who pack most of the fish in Alaska.

 "Too slick. Jess. Cover is SC smooth leech would slip off 1t. How are you going to make knucklei break If they keep giving us round chunks of ice like this to pitch"
 And no seams on it to grip! She just won't swerve for me any more.'
