NOME WILL PRODUCE
 FOUR MILLION

Nome, June 2O.-Tt seems more than probable that the winters output for Nome district alone will reach more than S4,OOO,OOO, which has been the heretofore estimated spring cleanup for the entire peninsula. Few have even given a thought to the yastness in gross metal of such a tidy sum. However, if this cleanup could be coined into twenty-dOlar gold pieces and stacked on the beach, it would make a glittering column reaching higher than Anvil Rock. The Che chakos of the south might bring the Alaska building from Seattle and place 1t where Anvil Rock stands and yet the mass of double eagles could cry out from their superior height.
 The past season has been the most active, and altogether successful for winter mining in the history of the camp. The wonderful increase in production seems almost beyond belief when the conditions under which the miner has labored are taken into con

SacOnG and Third Districts
 Will Fight ShOup

Wright Uurlbert. a banker and min ing man O; Nome and Fairbanks, Alaska, iu an interview with the Se- attle PostIntelligeucer says:
 "The people of the interior of Alaska are going to make strong fight this year 60 obtain a man from the interior as delegate to cOnoreSs and gave out the following statement:l
 The residents of the interior are very much opposed to a delegate to congress being chosen from Southeas- tern Alaska aS they think the people of the latter district are practically run niug the country at the present time. Their reasons for this are various. The principal uue is that the interior people want railroad next year running up near the uavjgable waters of the Yukon river to open up the vast country in that part of Alaska. The first Alaskan district. which Is in the southeastern part. is going tu make a strong ttgtt to send ShOpp to congress, while the second and third districts around Nome ard Vsldez and Fairbanks have decided to make au equally strong fight against ShOup. IJ Is possible that the latter two districts will compromise on one man in order to deteat Shoup. While the people ot the southeastern part of Alaska have always done many tavOrs for those iu the interior, they are at present indifferent to whether a rail road will pass through the interior or no.. If the interior obtains a road the country along the Yukon, u,theImjnerd wealth of which Is very great, will be more than doubled and will prove a great advantage to Seattle.
 This year Is going Co be record breaker ir mjuera, production" said Alr. Har.ber,. More gold will be turned out of the country around Far banks this year than ever before unless 1 the water gives OUt."

The civilizinG power of a rail-
way was perhaps never more clear
ly shown than in British North
Borneo. Not only is the land along
the line, which runs one hundred
and ten miles into the interior, be-
ing changed from wilderness into
rubber-plantations, but the natives
living near it have been transform
ed from head-hunters into law
abiding and useful subjects, with a
marked decrease in the expense of
governing them. This little state,
with an area about equal to that of
Maine, seems to be assured of a
prosperous future. A survey of the
coal mines on the coast shows that
fifteen million tons of good hard
steam coal may be fairly reckoned
on. Deposits of iron and limestone
have been discovered, and there are
now over a thousand men mining
manganese. A new railway is pro-
jected which would connect these
ore deposits with the coast, and
also open a large area of fertile
land for the cultivation of rubber
and tobacco.

while the sun was shining, the town
was invaded by gang of Is men, who
came down from the surrounding hills
SO quickly and SO quietly that the
townspeople were completely IN their
power before anyone knew what had
happened. The raiders were all armed
and at once a reign of terror began.
Women and children were afraid to
venture out on the street and peeped
feartully from behind closed blinds.
Men seemed to have lost their power
to act.

coming more bold with the constant

Valley Junction man, had started to

and the two were struggling when Mrs.

wrenched the revolver away. Then
while Woods and several others threw
the man down, she stood over him, the
loaded revolver in her hand, and kept
him lying on the floor until the mar
shall came. Intimidated by the woman,
the other bandit made good his es-
cape. Several of the marauders were
caught and are now lodged in the city
Jail awaiting trial, while the rest fed
to the woods.

ADVICE ABOUT THE TEETH
Select the Brush with Care, Consult
a Dentist Whenever Certain
Symptoms Appear.

So many people show little discrinl-
ination in the choice of tooth brushes.
1t is equally wrong to have them too
soft or too hard. This ought to be as
certainable by the touch, and they
should not be used for any length uf
time, but at once discarded. Cheap
brushes with which the market is now
flooded are an abomination, for the
hairs are sure to come out and lodge
between the teeth, causing much dis
comfort and, moreover, the bristles
are often secured in such way with
wire that it becomes dislodged, and
pricks the gums. Teeth should always
be closely watched, and if the gums
recede or any decay is perceived, re-
course should be had at once to
dentist, for in dentistry a stitch IN
time does not save nine but ninety.
Once let decay get any deep hold little
can be done, but it is easy to arrest it
at the beginning.
Parents cannot be too careful in in
stilling into their children early the
necessity of care and attention to the
teeth. 1t seems quite a weakness in
the young to shirk tooth cleaning, and,
moreover mothers should watch the
growth of the second teeth, that there
is no overcrowding. In early youth
many defects can be cured by proper
treatment. Teeth that are growing far
apart can be brought together easily;
it would be a far more difficult matter
later on when the gums are harder
and the teeth have attained their full
growth, but care should begin before
the first teeth have been exchanged
1t indicates something wrong If they
decay. and it is a state of things that
would be likely to repeat itself.
The writer remembers how as a
the same post for two generations
took infinite pains to teach her charges
exactly how they should clean their
teeth She always said that pastes
and liquid dentifrices were all very
we'll in their way. but that powder
should be used once a week at least,
and that there was a great art in
using a proper brush, which should lie
small and soft, and not too big for
the mouth. 1t should be not only
passed from one side to the other, but
up and down. and great care taken
to clean the back teeth as well as the
front; finally it was essential to wash
out the mouth with water, to whic,
few drops of fragrant dentifrice
liquid should be added.

Girls should be grateful that their

An eighteenth century girl. or one born
in the early nineteenth, wore short

crossed over the instep and around the

Sheep Had Wooden Leg.

Bucyrus, GA sheep with wooden
leg is attracting a great deal of atten-
ton at the home of Ira Quantance, in
Dallas township. The sheep has learn
ed to manipulate its wooden member
as well as man. During storm
early this year the sheep was struck
by lightning, its foot and part of the
leg was torn off. AS the animal was
valuable and was injured in no other
way. Mr.. Quaintance concluded to
make wooden leg and foot for 1t.
The artificial limb was covered with
wool and so well does the sheep use
its false leg that, except for a limp,
person would be unable to detect the
