Letter to PuCkett & Phillips
GREEN FOREST ARE.

Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if you could find way to shave your customers in less time, for less cost, and make the shave last two or three times as long.
 You wouldn't shave the same person so many times, or get so much of his money, but the whole town would be talking about you. and everybody would come to you for 8 shave.
 Devoe lead and zinc is exactly that in paints. It takes fewer gallons and it wears longer Costs less for the job, and you don't have to do it again for years and years-six years at least.
 Fewer gallons; wears long er." Takes fewer gallons to paint a house with Devoe lead- and zinc than with mixed paints; and it wears longer than mixed paints or lead and oil.
 Yours truly

that the Republican watchers would

1t may be expected, OF course, that
much will be made out of the matter
by those who are opposed to placing
the ballot in the hands of women.
These gentlemen have held all along
that such course would degraed the

they will doubtless now add to that
argument the assertion that the mex

Mrs. Mubleman said that they used
different styles of handwriting and
she even went so far as to write two

disguise the writing. The ballots
were then numbered and compared
with the poll lists and made ready to

The ltroduction of a bill into Con-
gress providing $4,000, 0oo0 fr national
aid to States In making and mending
highways, is an indication of the
country wide interest that is being
shown in the subject, and the Gov
ernors of half a-dozen States, in their
first of the year messages to Legis-
latures, have given the matter of i'm
proved roads special attention. Whec
Dickens visited America be found the

Governor Montague, in his message
to the Virginia Legislature early in
1904, said of the States roads: "Our
Indifferent highways are a hindrance
to the growth of our rural population
and a bar to immigration He re-
commended the State to begin the sys-
tem@tic construction and maintenance
of public roads. And as Virginia is
trying to level and put bottom to her
highways, SO other States are taking
up the same work. Governor Bates
calls attention to the fact that Massa-
ehusetts has already laid out sos miles
of solid road, at an average cost of &c.
600 mile. In New York 484 miles
have been constructed since 1898.

communities to proper appreciation
of State aid, and her fine roads are
numerous. Maryland-s Legislature is
considering plan to aid counties to

the news of the part played by women
in the frauds which have terminated

derived from dispatch to the New

Exhibit No. e4, offered by the con-
testant is fair sample of the man
ner in which the women padded the

In Southern Alaska.

Not all the Alaskan explorers are
condemned to a monotonou5 diet OF
bacon and beans, Of dried fruits and
unending cereals; nor all are confined
to the chilly comfort and narrow linn
its Of a canvass sleeping bag on frozen
ground. There was one party OF two
from the United States geological sur
vey that spent the summer of 1903 In
Alaska and had the privilege Of repos-
ing between clean sheets every night,
of taking a bath in a porcelain tub
as often as they pleased and eating
four-storied chocolate cake whenever
they had been good. They tell OF
one long ~sixteen-hour tramp that they
took, but they contriyed TO end that
unusual adventure at the haven where
the sheets and the tub and the cakes
and ale awaited them. These fortu'
nate creatures were Messrs. Arthur
C. Spencer, ~geologist, and Charles W,
Wright, field assistant. and the scene
OF their ~endeavors was southeastern
Alaska in the vicinity Of Juneau, where
boast Is made of good hotels.
Their task was to make a detailed
study Of the geological features Of a
limited district adjacent to Juneau and
to investigate the mineral deposits In
that neighborhood. They secured data
for a geological map to illustrate the
distributions Of the various formations
and their relations TO veins and ore
deposits. They made a careful study
of the active mines Of southeastern
Alaska, including those OF the famous
Alaska.Treadwell group, on Douglas
Island. The result OF the r%econnais.
sance will be published in the form OF
a short description accompanying a
general geological map Of the mainland
strip between salt water and the inter
national boundary. This map VIII
cover the region extending from near
Port Houghton to the head OF Lynn
canal. and will include the Porcupine
placer district, which cover an area
about 200 miles long, with an average
width Of about so miles. Both silver
and gold ores occur at many places
throughout this belt, which is possibly
the northward extension Of the metal
liferous zone Of the Ketchhikan mining
district, upon which a report has al
ready been published by the survey,

visited and will be described in q re-
port on the various placer deposits

past year the interest Of mining men
has been greatly stimulated by discov.

would seem to indicate mineral re-
sources of very great Importance.
