If the bomb plot in New York City
last Thursday noon was the work of
Radicals or Extremists, the results
will go down in history as most horri
ble. Innocent people suffered . Inno
cent people paid the penalty of the
wave of insanity of certain no-ac
counts. It is time for the government
of tile United States to take a firmer
hand over certain publications which
are being printed and distributed na
tionwide. These publications, of which
there are many, serve to disrupt hu
man emotions and cause criminal in
stincts to arise. Many publications
contain exceedingly anarchistic artic
les, bitter attacks on government pol
icies and law enforcement and excite
the unlearned in the United States.

community interest they have mani
fested by actually succeeding in start
ing a public library in this city. This
public library has been founded after
a hard struggle, securing books from
many centers of the United States,
and a score of other tasks. Practically
unaided, with the exception of giving
a few social affairs for revenue, the
Women’s club of Seward, has won in
a most worthy effort.
Truth is stronger than fiction. A

ern the sale for export of Alaskan
birch timber, another great resource
of the Territory has been unlocked for
'development.
The promulgation of the^ above
regulations, by the Department of
the Interior ends a fight started way
back in 11)14 and which has been,
waged continuously before Congress
since that time. The movement was
begun by M. A. Ellis, a well known
Alaskan m ining man of the Cache i
Creek* district.
Mr. Ellis’ interest in birch was:
created in an unusual way. It
started with a wedding— his daugh
ter’s— who desired to have a bed
room suite of birch. That seemed
reasonable enough, according to Mr.
Ellis, whose only previous acquaint
ance with birch had been in the
V
shape of.firewood. .Subsequent de
velopments, however, proved broad
ening. He found on investigation
that birch for firewood and in the

shape of furniture were enormously
different. In the end he bought the
dvsired suite but, he remarked later,
thnl it pretty near broke him.
Sen His Opportunity
The high price of the furniture
brought home to Mr. Ellis the fact
that there was a not inconsiderable
quantity of birch wood in Alaska
going to waste. . He had knowledge
of a number of stands of such tim
ber M*ar the country in which he
had oeen operating and had heard of
other stands. In 1914 , he secured
un<! sent samples of Alaska birch to
0
a few manufacturers of furniture in
the East. He was promptly advised
by each of them that there would
be a good market for the timber. It
was stated that- the stands of sun
ilia' timber in the States were prac
tically exhausted.
Snag is Struck.
M*\ Ellis immediately began to
make preparations to grasp the op
portunity he had uncovered. Being
on the public domain, he knew that
he would have to., get. permission
from the Federal authorities to cut
the timber • -and immediately made
application to do so. Here he en
countered his first difficulties. He
was immediately informed that he
could cut birch for domestic con
sumption but he couldn't cut it and.
ship it outside of the Territory for.
any purpose. Exportation of Alaskan
birch wa8,“verbetenr"
Fight Is Begun.
Halted temporarily but not dis
couraged, Mr. Ellis'started on a
campaign to have the troublesome
restrictions removed. When he had
asked the General Land Office for
permission to cut, this timber for
export, he was informed that it
could not be done until ..remedial
legislation should be .enacted by.
Congress,. IiulOMv abill was in
troduced for the removal of the re
strictions. It was- killed. In each
succeeding session of Congress a
