 The mining industry in S. E. Alaska is on the eve of a greater boom than it ever had before.
 Of Alaska's shipments to the States, but 30 per cent, in value, is gold. The value of canned salmon alone is S8, 8,400,- 900 or a million more dollars than MT. Seward as secretary of state, paid for the country.
 The Juneau Chamber of Commerce has appointed committee to "prepare in writing such information as will rep resent the views of the people of this portion of Alaska" That committee has devil of job.
 The call for District convention to meet in Juneau on October 26, 1903, ap. pears in this issue of the News. It would have appeared last week had not one member of the committee sacrificed his duty as committeeman to his inordinate greed for scoop.
 Congressman Wm. Sulzer of New York visited Juneau. Sulzer is the man who introduced a'bill at the last session, to give Alaska territorial form of government The Juneau  people presented him a set of resolu- tions about the game law. What Sul- ger thought of them only God and Sulzer know.
 The purchase of the Nowell proper ties at Seward by such men as Joseph MacDonold will be great lift for that country. Macdonald is miner, not manipulation of stocks, and he will de- vote his attention more to the develop ment of the property than the sale of stock, and that means something to mine.
 An exchange unkindly alludes to the serious accident that occurred some time ago at the Treadwell mine as if such accidents were confined to the mines of Douglas Island.
 The business of mining is at all times a hazardous occupation, and the men engaged know it. It is only the unworked mines, where no accidents occur.
 The question of the handling of ex- plosives so as to eudanger life and property, is one that should be called to the attention of not only the team ster, but every branch of authority that exists. When the next grand jury in session at Juneau, runs out of material for trouble and has inspected the school house, and everything else that it has no business to, we suggest that they take a walk down on the beach and look at the powder house that stands near the Juneau town site. Then if they have any more time let them figure out what a terrible loss of life and property would follow if that pow der house were to go up some pleasant day. If the grand jury has no knowl- edge of the effect of powder explo- sion, let them call in q few miners and take their testimony on the subject. Tn en, if the grand jury is convinced that it is better to risk the lives of the people than to have that powder house moved, they don't need to do anything about it.

Congressman Sulzer asserts that "when congress passed the Alaska cable bill it was thoroughly understood that the cable was to traverse the inside passage from Dixon's Entrance to Ju- neau, with such stations along the route as might be found necessary" From present indications, however, it seems that the intention of congress is not being carried out, since Sitka and Ju- neau appear to be the only points in Alaska with direct cable connection.- Ketchikan Journal.

HAY FEVER ABOLISHED.
Relief for this Malady Discovered b

Relief for this Malady Discovered by
Medical Seience-Breathe HyOmei.
Among the important additions made
10 medical science in recent years, none
is more notable than the positive an
nouncement of a cure for hay fever.
While this disease is not regarded as
fatal, it is certainly a-most distressing
malady, and If anything can be devised
to u it, a great boon will be conferred
upon the human race.
Exhaustive experiments with Hyomei
prove that this treatment will prevent
all attacks of hay fever if used two or
three weeks before the annual appear
nee of the disease and that it may be
relied upon if used faithfully after the
disease has begun, to relieve at once
and afford a speedy cure.
A. @. Van Glider has sold hundreds
OF Hyomei outfits for the treatment of
diseases OF the respiratory organs under
the agreement to refund the money il
Hyomei did not afford relief.
In selling Hyomei for the cure of hay
lever, he will continue this equitable
plan, and want all who are subject to
this distressing malady to begin its use
at once. with the understanding that il
it does not give satisfaction, tho pur-
chase price is to oe refunded.
Stomach dosing cannot cure hay fe-
yer. A change of climate is the only
treatment that has heretofore aborted
an attack, and Hyomei, which is breath
ed through a neat pocket inhaler com.
ing with every outfit, acts upon this
rinciple, giving in your own home
climate like that of the White Noun
tains or other health resorts.
