l'liey would lequire a vast amount ot

market for vast amounts of timber
i!.* y would clear, at a price that would
’ ally pay for the labor in c*ri• »>
the land. As it is it must bo destroyed
by fire to get rid of it.
Were a pulp null established at j
Seward and men knew they could sell
any wood they had that was suitable
for pulp many homesteads would !»•
located at once and the work of clear
ing would go on, thus creating a great
tonnage in this one line tor the Kail
road. and as time went on and the
country as cleared up a far greater
tonnage would be produced from the
ground that would have to go into the
markets of the world. This would in
sure the Railroad and steamship lines
a tonnage that would last for all time
to come.
Population to create tonnage is
what you have got to have and for a
starter inducements must be offered
to get it. Without population create
tonnage the U. It. and S. S. lines will
simply be failures.
It might h' said that if inducements
wore offered, nv*n might take advant
age of them, cut off the timber then
desert the homestead. Laws can be
provided to govern this ar.d by enforc
ing them there is no danger from this
direction.

WASHINGTON, Aug.. 2fi— Secre
tary of State Colby at eight o'clock
this morning signed the proclamation
}>i»/inuigating the ratification of suf
frage. This action was taken following
tie* receipt of a letter from Governor
Huberts of Tennessee, stating that the
legislature of that state had ratified
suffrage, being the last state requiitnl
to make tie* amendment effective.
The announcement that the procla
mation had been promulgated disap
pointed a group of suffrage workers
who had hoped they would witnesses
the signing of the order. Miss Alice
Haul, chairman of the National Wo
men’s Party in a statement said she
was now confident the signature of
Secretary of State Colby to the pro
clamation complet- s the struggle for
votes for women but the party will not
relax vigilence until satisfied no fur
ther attempts to nullify it are made. A
big jollification is planned by women
here tonight.
WASHINGTON, Aug., 26—Justice
Siddons, of the District Supreme
Court, lias denied the application for
an injunction to restrain the promul
gation of the ratification of suffrage.
Justice Siddons said it would be an
unwarranted interference with a pure
ly administrative act of the Secretary
of State. This leaves the way open for
an appeal to the District court of Ap
peals.
