THAT was a large ground sluicing contrivance the en- gineers constructed, without designing to, on the Colorado river. If they could make the Panama or the Forty mile change it's course, move a like amount of dirt, and return to it's old channel again, an area of riches might be laid bare instead of the ruinOus waste that their work entailed.

A VERY large number of persons with money in their pockets went to the States from Alaska this year. Some of them will buy homes or go into business and return no more; some will provide more comforts for children or needy relatives and come back and buckle down to work again. The sum total of them will do more than they get credit for toward helping along the good times outside that people are talk ing about.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3l, 1906.

THE cost of collecting the customs duties in Alaska for the fiscal year ending June 30, last, was seven hundred and twenty-two one-thous- andths of the total amount collected. Under normal con- ditions medium-grade pla- cer mine might be made to yield a larger per cent. over the cost of extracting the gold from the ground than the government receives over the cost of collecting the customs money. Look pleas ant, you patriots, and don t forget there is a principle involved.

A book of particulars wraps each bottle

The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount of
non professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance Of
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, nom

With her hair tawny banner
BY the breezes famed.

Counting over my lost labors,
Near a cypress tree
And she said "Oh why repine?

But do I, like thee. complain?
Nay, l pause and rest a season,
Then begin again"

The Provincial New Yorker.

Adding millions to its population
and stories to its skyscrapers every
decade intensifies rather than de-
creases, the provincialism of New
York City. No new point of vantage
is gained for the better observation
of what the 100000 other people of
the nation are doing. To the New
Yorker the universe is bounded on
the south by the Sandy Hook light
ship, on the north Dy the Harlem, on
the east by Jamaica bay and on the
west by Hoboken. A few stars are
thrown in overhead and stories are
told of people who inhabit the places
where this little world sloughs off
beyond the horizon. In the nerrow
confines of New York City lack of
knowledge as to the remainder OF
the nation constitutes no drawback
and extreme provincialism is a vir-
tue.-Detroit Free Press.

The Evils of Constipation

are many in fact almost every serious
illness has its origin in constipation, and
some medicines, instead of preventing con-
stipation, add to it. This is true of most
cathartics, which, when first used, have a
beneficial effect, but the dose has to be
continually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest effect.
There is one preparation, however, that
can be relied upon to produce the same
results with the same dose. even after
fifty years daily use, and this is Brand
reth's Pills, which has record of over
100 years as the standard remedy for con-
stipation and all troubles arising from an
impure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine lax
alive tonic pill your grandparents used
and can be found in every drug and medi-
cine store, either plain or sugar-coated.

PLANS COMPLETE FOR TWO
GREAT FIGHTING HALVES.
ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC
Fleets to Be Assigned at Beginning q
Year-ResponsibiIities in Philip
pines and Far East Demand Pac-
fic Squadron-Under Control of
Executive Board.

Rear Admiral Converse, chief OF
the bureau of navigation, in his annu-
al report submitted to the secretary
of the navy, announced that plans
had been completed for the organiza-
ton of the fighting vessels of the
navy in two fleets for service on thu
Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the
United States in such manner that
the whole force may be readily mo-
bilized in cases of emergency. The
concentration of the battle fleet in
the American waters, and the assign
ment of all vessels therein to the
command of one flag officer, will be
completed about January / next.
Rear Admiral Converse said that ow-
ing to our RESP constitutes in the Phil
lippines and the far east generally, an
adequate naval force is needed in the
Pacific waters.
The assignment of the ships of the
battle line to Atlantic waters and OF
cruisers and gunboats to Pacific wa
tiers is in accordance with present
strategic requirements.
At an early date, it is expected, the
Asiatic fleet and the Pacific squadron
will be merged into one Pacific feet
under the supreme command Of a flag
officer of the highest rank, in the
same manner as the Atlantic feet is
now organized.
The bureau Of navigation is making
every endeavor to obtain battleshtp
strength of sixteen in the Atlaptic
fleet, divided into two squadrons,
which will furnish every opportunity
for the practice of battle tactics aud
will enable the higher officers to ac-
quire facility in the exercise of large
fleet and in maneuvering one homo
geneous squadron against another
Rear Admiral Converse advocates
the establishment of an executive
board, which, under the direction of
the secretary, shall have for its prin-
cipal duty the coordination of the
work of the bureaus and the effective
preparation of the fleet for war.
Such board would be entirely sep
arate in it's function to the general
board, which the reports says is 9
very slightly important body, and
which has done excellent work in the
way of preparing plans for war, co
operating with the army, outlining
military policies, on the shipbuild1ns
program, development of navy ard
coaling stations and battle tactics fol
| the feet.
The report recommends that con
gress be asked for an appropriation
for flag and commanding officers fol
necessary official entertainments the
same as provided by other countries
| Rear Admiral Converse questions
the necessity and policy of carrying
marines on ships of war. He be
! lieves that the withdrawal of thf
marines aud the substitution of blue
Jackets would add greatly to eff
cheney.
