This is the season of the
year when Scott's Eamul-
sion does some of its best
work. Fortifying the sys=
tenn against the ravages of
winter is one of the most
effective uses of Scott's
Emulsion; lit builds up the
strength of the whole body
and puts ONE i'm a healthy,
vigorous condition.
Weak lungs, throat trout
bles or bronchial affections
get more positive help and
relief from Scott's Emul-
sion than from any other
source.
Cod liver oil itself is very
scarce just now; cheap
authorizations and mixtures
of inferior oils are offered

Two parties were placed at work in

Two parties were placed at work in the field two years ago. Capt. c. C. Burnell, now detailed with the cable operations, and later Lieut.. William Mitchell, had charge of the work in Eastern Alaska. Assisted by staff from the signal corps, I started in Western Alaska. The western party built the line from Fort Egbert, at Eagle, over the mountains and down to Panama, overcoming great natural diffi- .culties. We built up the Yukon end Panama rivers.
 '"Our.two parties effected junction 300 miles up the Panama from Fort Gibbon, between Salcha, on the Salch- acket river and the Good Pasture river, on the first of July.
 "At that time our line was working almost over it's entire section, but forest fires were raging in tho upper Tanana, and the woods were burning behind Lieut.. Mitchell's party. This evidently has necessitated a repair of that section of the line. l expected to hear long before this of message having been flashed from St. Michael to the United States. The line is completed and the government has now more than 20OO miles of territory in Alaska covered by the telegraph.
 Government lines across Alaska in two directions, one north and south from Valdez to Fort Egbert, between 400 and 300 miles in length, the other the long way across the country, reach ing from Fort Egbert to St. Michael, and covering 1,6OO miles.
 '.The telegraph line is modern in every respect. There are stations every forty miles. At each station there is member of the signal corps detailed as an operator, and two infantry men as repairmen. Here in many cases the men live a life of complete isolation, their nearest neighbors being the next station men.
 ''Too much praise cannot be given the enlisted men in the regular army who helped construct the line. In the face of great hardships, and often death itself, they carried the work on. The bones of many poor fellow are whiten. ing along it's track, killed by exposure or violence

The government telegraph lines con- structed' between the forts of Alaska and along the Yukon, from St. Michael upward, were completed early in July, and telegraph communication is now secured, as has been announced in the Post -Intelligencer between those points and the United States, barring acci- dents to the line, according to Lieut.. George s. Gibbs, who had charge of the construction of the lines in Western Alaska.
 For two years Lieut.. Gibbs has con- ducted the work in Alaska, and on it's completion was ordered to report to Seattle for instructions. In an inter- view recently he said
 ''The work, as laid out, was to place an entire line across Alaska to Nome and St. Michael, and bring those points into communication with the United States, especially during the winter season. Of course, when the Seattle Sitka cable is laid, the government will then have an all l-American line for mili- tary purposes.
