PULP MILL IMPORTS

The State of Washington which has a sizable pulp indus try and paper mills of it's own, is nightly interested in seeing that the present Congress does something to protect and foster that sort of income for it's citizens. The adverse figures are startling; in the first te II months of last year this country imported newsprint to the ex : tent of 1,465,456 tons from Ca Lada, 130,787 tons from New foundland, 55,795 tons from Sweden, 41 ,569 tons from Fin land and 1903 tons from Nor way. Here is something on which all the other Washington members of Congress may well get behind Senator Jones, who knows the conditions and al ieady has a proposal to remedy them.

THE VOICE OF THE WOMEN

The saving of a Primary is Of more importance than the pass : ing of the Bill in the first in stance-since the very fact that s.n attempt is being made to re- peal the law proves that forces Tot conducive to the best in terests of all the people are at work.

FARMS ON RENAL SUGGESTED
 FOR YOUNG INDIANS

According to Superintendent Hatton of the Jesse Lee Home, lat Seward, the Indian Bureau is studying the question of what disposition is to be made of h. dian children after they are dis charged from such institutions as the Home and the Eklutna Industrial school.
 IL has been suggested that an area on the Kenai peninsula be set aside as a reserve wherecn the students of the various gov ernment and private Indian
 ch0ols may be established in Inning and other industrial pUrSuIGS.
 Among other questions are those of establishing a cannery and saw mill for the exclusive use Of the Indians who wish to rclinquish their primitive mode 0f living and fare forth in tke industrial world.
 Final disposition of the chil- jren who enter the Jesse Lee Home is a problem that needs
 oluti0n," MT. Hatton is quoted as saying by the Seward Gate way. "They come from all parts Jf the Territory, including the Alaska Peninsula, many being orphans. The best we can do is Jo teach them and care for them cntil they are large enough to
 lif5 for themselves.
 We then endeavor to secure work for them, but are confront
 d with a number of difficulties, y,Ot the least of which is di- tection and supervision until they are of age. Hence many are turned loose to become the vic- tmS of shifting fortune, espe- cially the girls.
 "The matter is now before the Indian Bureau and I have been informed that steps are under way to find a solution as above outlined. I find that the Indian children take kindly to agricul- ture and if they were sent to a farm directed by the Indian Bu- reau, where they would have discipline and direction, or plac- ed in industries created for their especial benefit, it would solve what is now a difficult situa- tion."

FREE TRANSPORTATION

The Welch Bill was before the
 Committee on Merchant Marine end Fisheries. MT. O'Malley had his little say about the good pro-.
 visions of the bill. Mr. Free re-
 sponded following MT. Bradford
 who opposed it. MT. Free said he knew all about the Alaska fish eries-he spent two months i'll Alaska one time several years ago. The fishermen were we'll treated and satisfied with their treatment and earnings from the shore canners-far more So than from the hoaters.
 Well, well, we'll Knows all
 about Alaska's fisheries. Srent two months in Alaska and al-
 teady knows all about Alaska s
 fisheries! The time MT. Free
 spent in Alaska was on P. A. F. steamers and the Alaska Pack
 CTS vessels and MT. O'Mal.ey $ yachts. We wonder how many fishermen MT. Free talked with while he was in Alaska-if a.Iv. From the way it was described to us, MI. Free was wined ana dined by the packers and he did lot have time to talk to such poor truck as fishermen. Oh, no Knows all about AlaSka'S fish cries! Don't make us laugh!

A GOOD MOVE,
 MIR. PRESIDENT.

President Hoover's scheme fo" Q reorganization of the federal government, and elimination Of worthless and taX-eating bu- reaus, wins our hearty support. Here's something destructively constructive.
 There are scores of bureaus in Washington, eating their heads off. Many of them actually make their own laws to a great extent. Most of them are utterly un- necessary. There are so many that they overlap.
 Every American ship, for in- stance, is forced to abide by Of n-nonsensical regulations Of the customs department, the immigration department and the department of commerce. Any shipping man will tell you it is practically impossible to oper- ate a ship without breaking one or more fool regulations. The three departments have no CO., ordination whatever.

A TACTLEsS ERROR

One of the greatest errors we believe either party can make is to hold district conventions and endorse candidates without waiting until filings are made to see who will be on the ticke1. It may be that a man will be nominated who will serve the party better, and be better in many ways than the man en- dorsed by the club, and election day may find many of those en- dorsing him bolting their mon for some later candidate, thus giving the candidate endorsed on opportunity to charge bad jaith to his party.
 It is much more just to all parties concerned to withheld endorsements until after oil have filed. There is such a thing as being in too big a hurry anu disrupting the party by friction developed by those who fail to receive endorsement Stroller 5 Weekly.

vas supposed to be back of the foreign dollars.
 We have heard no allegations that the Canadian dollar was in any way threatened by lack of credit or -repudiation by that government. Yet, the twenty odd cents worth of silver in American money is worth one collar and twenty cents worth ot Canadian dollar, which per haps has little more silver in 1t than the American dollar.
 The British pound sterling is worth from three dollars and fifty to three dollars and eighty cents in American money. The Canadian coin and currency is based on the same system as the American yet the Canadian five dollar bill is not equal ill value to the same amount of paper in American currency.
 This exchange basis has been objected to by the halibut fisn- crmen and it has done more to break up the free, open port of Prince Rupert than anything else. In the end, the fishermen will have lost more by loss Of the open port than they will ever gain by the differential in exchange values between Ameri- can and Canadian currency Several hotels in Seattle have declared that they will nos discriminate against the Cana dian dollars because it was cost ing them too much business. It would appear to be good policy if the Americans and Canadians cUt together and established a common currency-at least a common currency value-eveiJ thing else being equal.

GOOD POLITICAL
 AMUNITION

The fight against Bureaucracy through political speeches and propaganda makes good amuni- ton for the gas barrage which is about to be started in the Primary offensive soon. It will he pointed out that much of the ailments and ills of Alaska are clue to the "57 Varieties" of Bu- 1eaus now in control in the Ter rjtory. They will be damned from breakfast to midnight, sin Cerely and for political expedi- ency. But only the liberals will be specific in pointing out the wrongs perpetuated upon the reOple of Alaska and the suffer ing, the loss to business and the footing of the country. Others will talk about and damn the bureaus while at the same time feed from the troughs of the machine they damn. And they believe voters so gullible as 10 swallow the tale, hook, line and sinker.

 Increased sales of the Bible in England are interpreted as a revival in personal religion. Last year the Bible sold 3,OOO,000 copies, an increase of half a million.

HAIN'T IT FUNNY

Man comes into the world without his consent, and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of mis- understanding. In his infancy ne is an angel; in his manhood he is anything from a lizard up; if he raises a family, he is a Chump; if he raises small check, he is a thief, and the law
 raises the dickens with him; If he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest, but con-
 sidered smart; if he is in politics you can't trust him, as he is an undesirable citizen; if he goes to church he is a hypocrite; if He stays away from church he is a sinner and damned; if he do- mates for foreign missions, he does it for show; if he does not, he is stingy and a tight wad. When he comes into the world everybody wants to kick him; if he dies young, there was a great future in store for him; if he lives to a ripe old age, he is simply in the way and living to save funeral expenses.

seeds are placed and covered with a
thin layer of soil Thereupon the
briquets are paced in a frame. Hun

briquets are set by means OF Z special
tube at any season Of the year, provided
the ground is not frozen. The process
