Some Facts That May
Hurt-Dollar Is in No
Danger

Washington. April S.-(UPl-
Renewed attacks on the dollar
which centered in Paris yesterday
were characterized to-day by treas
ury and federal reserve officials
as unfair and extremely vicious"

Sweden's Wood Industry.

Sweden was among the first coun-
tries to advocate reforestation and few
if any countries Of the world have sue
ceeded as Sweden in rationalizing the
care of the forests and the various in
dustries derived therefrom. The result
is that the country now stands in the
very front ranks as a producer of soft
wood, wood pulp and ell the by-prod-
ucts Of the sawmill industry. AS a
result of the care and intelligence ex-
ercised the wood has ceen shown by
test to be of a very superior quality.
The timber is felled at time when the
sap does not circulate; the floating in
very cold water reduces the risk OF
disease in the logs; the material Is
handled by modern machinery and
last but not least the superior quality
OF the labor employed has q fine sense
of judgment In matters a Eocd quality.

A similar situa- ton exists in the Fourth division, where Judge Cecil H. Clegg has just completed his tenth year, but he has not received. an appointment to the third term. Assistant Attorney Gen. eral Sisson, in charge of the admin istrative department, has indicated that he will take up these appoint ments with Delegate Wickersham etfar the hssdayecreoli vb bgk g .gk after the holiday reress. There are various applicants for the several ap- pointments. The fact that the De- partment has had bill introduced in Congress to combine the Second, or Nome, division, with the Fourth, or Fairbanks, division, effective July l, next, will not necessarily interfere with appointments, as the bill may not pass. Among the reiess appoint ments sent to the Senate was that of Leroy M. Sullivan, district attorney of Nome. The judiciary committee inquired of the Delegate his peasure in the matter, which brought forth a prompt and cordial endorsement of Mir. Sullivan.

 were in operation in 1880. The dredges in operation, however, had a somewhat different distribution than in the previous year, which was brought about by suspension of oper- ations of the property of the Yukon Valley Gold Dredging Co. (Ltd.), in the Fairbanks district, and of the Os- born Mining Go. in the Nome district, and the reopening of operations at the property of the New York-Alaska Gold Dredging Corporation, at Bear creek, in the Kuskokwim valley, and at the claims near Henry creek, in the Kougarok district in the Seward Peninsula. The American Dredging Company, in the Hot Springs district, in the Tanana valley, which was idle in 1880, was operated few hours in 1881, but it was running so short a time that it has not been included in the number of operating dredges. The two largest placer mining companies, mentioned in the preceding para graph, recovered their gold by means of dredges.
 No notable new finds of placer ground were made during the year, but prospecting was in progress at a number of places, some of which are rather remote from the more produc- tive camps. According to eports from some of these camps, the work was proceeding satisfactorily and. though not indicating the presence of bonanzas, suggests that they may contain placer deposits that may be capable of profitable development.

 the Federal Highway Act to Alaska. At present the Alaska Road Commis- sion is expending $800,O00 and the Forest Service nearly one million dol ars yearly, in the Territory. It is the opinion of some of the interested officials here that if the Highway Act were extended to Alaska Congress woud consider the needs of the Terri tory and the sum now being expend- ed,. and at this time the sum appro- priated might not exceed the amount now being received, while the Terri tory would be compelled to contribute as it's share possibly from $300, ,00O to $500,000 yearly, as well as all costs If engineering expenses and all main tenance of roads after they had been constructed through the joint efforts of the Federal Government and the Territory The Delegate has been advised not to open up the matter in the present Congress. The amount agreed on by the Budget for the Alas ka Road Commission for the ensuing year is $65D,O0O and it will require considerable effort to have the sum increased to the $8O0,000 that the Commission. expects to get.
 In his annual report submitted to tine President by Secretary of the In- terior Wilbur he states that one of the great latent resources of Alaska is it's forests. Thirteen per cent of the national forest area of the United States is in Alaska, most of it on the southern coast from Ketchikan to Cook Inlet. A billion board feet an- nually may be harvested each year. Ninety per cent of all production will be usable for paper. Hydro-electric power sites are abundant.
 The annual report of the Secretary of War shows that during the fiscal year 1881 the Washington-Alaska Military Cabe and Telegraph System handled traffic as follows: Commer- rial traffic, "This line," $289, 9,431.43; "Other lines," $44.584.51; Government business, $399. .62S; total, $673.643.94 less other line payments $44,584.51 making net credits, $629, ,O59.43. This is net credit of $6,956.91 over the previous year. It is further stat ed that for the past year the Alaska syste mhas been intensively engaged on the project to replace the Alaska cable by radio circuits. The new land transmitter building in Seatte was completed, the existing apparatus in stalled and everything placed in readi- ness for installation of transmitters to be delivered in August, 1881. The new transmitter building at Anchor age and the temporary remote receiv- ing building at Ketchikan were com pleted.
