also caught every year at karluk can
merry, on Kodiak island. and in many
rivers along the Alaska peninsula.
The flesh of this salmon is firm and dark
red in color. 1t commands a good price
in tins, and is the form most univer-
sally seen and used in various parts Of
the world.
Although the commencement of the
run of red salmon varies in dates &C
cording to the localities, the main one
may be said to last from the middle of
June until mid-August. The o. nerka,
shortly after entering fresh water lake
and commencing to spawn, undergo an
extraordinary metamorphosis in color,
and during the transitory stages assume
a number of different hues. The fish
turn from bright SILVER to peculiar deep
red. with the exception of the head and
fins, which become dull white or lead
en- color. In this stage the fish closely
resemble the appearance Of certain
kinds of goldfish in pond. At a later
stage, when SCARED and worn. the fish
present a miserable spectacle as they
struggle feebly about in the shallow
waters of the rivers and lakes, there to
fall an easy prey to the bears and
eagles. which collect from miles around
to feed on them in the fall of the year.
The silver salmon. or coho (Oncorhyn-
chus kisutch), is another species which
is used extensively for canning pur-
poses, although. owing to the light pink
color of it's flesh. it does not command
such a good price on the market as either
the king or the red salmon. The conc,
when packed in tins, is generally labeled
| and known to the public as medium
red the average weight of this fish
is about eight pounds. although num-
bers of them reach weight of 30
pounds. They are found along the
coasts of Alaska. British Columbia,
Washington and Oregon, and can be
caught in seines nets at any time of the
year in the southern portions of their
| haunts. This salmon is the latest of all

PO|liCl| Comment.
The Prosnerous South.

The mercantile agency reports which
show remarkable activity throughout
the country find an echo in accounts
Of rapid railroad extension in many To-
calities, especially in the South, which
is having a full share of the prevailing
prosperity and a rather extraordinary
industrial development. Statements
made on the authority Of experts who
have made close and general observa-
ton of the situation show that within
a few weeks between 800 and 400
miles of new track have been laid,
and that 2,300 miles are under con-
struction and approaching completion,
while roads recently chartered will
build 1900 miles, and several thou
sand miles additional are in contem-
plation. What is significant about this
work is that it is intended largely to
supplement what has already been ac-
complished. That is, very much Of
the new mileage is necessary in order
TO accommodate business waiting to be
done and to provide access to regions
which are certain to be important feed
ers to existing systems.
All this is most pleasing and reas-
surfing. While the South is directly
benefited and enriched by the new
transit facilities provided and by the
opportunities thus afforded to reach
profitable markets for its products, the
whole country shares in the gain
Notably is this true of the increased
extent to which Northern centers of
industry are brought into touch with
the crude materials of the South For
instance, the new railroad mileage
which is under way in the South will
give far better chances for obtaining
Gre, coal and other products of i'm
portance to many localities. In turn
the South, besides a ready sale for its
commodities, will be in q position to
make large purchases in the North of
whatEt wants and cannot readily OBJ
tain at home. In a broad sense it is
emphatically true in this case, as in
many others, that what helps one
helps all. The more rapidly the South
builds railroads and acquires wealth,
which means purchasing capacity, the
better it will be not only for that sun
nv region, but for the whole country.

Natural Bridge of Agate.

There is amending variety Of mar
velous sights to be seen in the petri-
fed forest covering thousands Of acres
in the eastern part of Arizona. but
what IS regarded as the greatest Of
all is the bridge of petrified wood.
1t is a huge petrified tree trunk
spanning a canyon-like ravine fifty
feet wide-a bridge of agate and jas
per overhanging the ouly clump OF liv-
ing trees within the forests borders.
Each end of the log is embedded in
shale and sandstone, leaving 100 feet
of it either wholly or partly exposed.
How much of its length still remains
completely buried is unknown, but
each year the action of the elements
brings more into view.
So far, time has sraciously spared
the integrity of this natural curiosity,
but in the last few years the log has
begun to show signs Of yielding to the
natural inclination of petrifed trees
and in several places transverse cracks
appeal. Fearing that the bridge would
tumble to destruction the government
has recently had two stone abutments
erected under it, making Of it bridge
of three spans. This no doubt will
preserve it for at least several years

They deserted their wives for a wide

DUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni.
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks its fiendish malice on those
who use it.

coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form Of nervousness, ac-
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
Il was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension OF the nerves
drew it to one side. causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as 20
what caused the trouble, till friend
suggested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with ii.
and advised that we quit it and try
Postum Coffee
I'VE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve. and in
very short time both of US were entire

Eve have never resumed the use Of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
