WHITE PLAINS WELL

3rd.-The G. 7. r. r yesterday SIS
pended operations on the artes'an
well at White Plains, situated on
the desert below the sink of Hum
boldt. The company was sinking this
well to obtain fresh water for engine
use, because the water in the vicinity
of White Plains is very brackish and
unfit for use. Boring machinery and
experienced well borers from the oil
regions of Pennsylvania were brought
ont by the company, and a steam en-
CINE was put on the ground. AT a
depth of a few hundred feet the water
was found in abundance, but it was
brackish, like the water at the sur
face, and the brackish quality contin-
ned until solid rock was encountered
at a depth Of 400 feet. Great diff
ficulty was experienced in boring
through gravel and loose earth to the
depth stated, and the fact that sew
Grad feet of wood, not petrifed.
though solid and sound, was found
over l,300 feet deep, indicated that
the locality at one time, when the sur
face was over a thousand feet lower
than at present, was heavily timbtred.
The railroad company is said to
nave expended nearly Sl0O 900 for
the machinery used and labor ex-
pended in boring this well, and it IS
unfortunate that it is abandoned
without finding fresh water.

JAPs o~vERRUNNING RENO

When the Overland Limited arrived
in Reno Thursday f. 7. Kruanaga, a
little Japanese, stepped from a Pull
man, and at his side appeared a tall,
beautiful white girl, his wife. Kru-
anaga has come to Reno to start a
real estate office, and it is stated that
he has an option or several pieces of
real estate in the city. This is the
first Japanese that has ever been in
Reno with a white woman as his wife,
and the appearance of this little
brown man on the street with the
attractive white created quite
a sensation. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cru
anaga refused to talk to newspaper
men. The japanese are coming into
Reno by the score, and at present
there are several Japanese restaurants
and business houses in the city The
japanese are rapidly taking the plac-
es of white girls as domestics, and
in all circles of labor they are gain
ing a foothold. In Sparks there is a
large employment agency, and near
ly all of the section work on the di-
between Carlin and Sparks is
done by japanese.

Mr.. Fields is certainly one of

Pa, known by everybody, esteemed
by everybody. he would not intention

utation by allowing the publication
of any articles referring to him un-
less they We're positively and abso-
lutely true. Mr.. Fields was inter-
ested in the work of the Quaker
Health Teacher, who made his head
quarters at Wells & Haymaker's
drug store recently. People Will
remember that Dunn's purpose in
coming to Clarksburg was to prove
to all, the wonderful powers of
Quaker Herb Extract and OIL OF

the Quaker Remedies. He obtained
the wonderful treatment from his
druggist, took the same only a few
days when, low and behold, last
Sunday. he expelled a tape worm,
alive and complete with the head.
Doctors and medicine heretofore
were unable to bring relief, but
Quaker Herb Extract not only cured
him but saved him from horrible
death, which this monster would
surely occasion unless removed from
his system. Mr.. Fields will cheer

monial. Ask him if you doubt it.

.HOOSIER DOCTOR
 HAS GOT A HUNCH

Dr. \. R. Hopkins, of South Bend Ind, contemplates coming to Alaska to live. In a letter dated Jan. 19 he says
 ''l am seeking an opportunity to in- vest in some business in Alaska and it has occurred to me that you might know some one who would like to cor respond with me on this subject. If you do l would thank you to hand my card to such person.
 Though l know but little about the climate and resources of Alaska, I be- lieve l would like to live there"
 The doctor will be sent lot of back numbers of the Valley News, the weather reports in which will give him slight conception of the eccentricities of our winter climate. When he sees the record he is liable to become some what startled; but if he has the nerve to come and sample our temperature at first hand he is sure to like it. The range during twelve months is, roughly speaking, from 90 above to 70 below, offering that variety and contrast out of which a great deal may be selected that is sure to please.
 The doctors address is box 323, south Bend, Ind.

enterprise of business or patriotism," he prophesied, with fine optimism. Com merce will find new arms, the country new defenders, the national flag new hands to bear it aloft.'
 Senator Sumner in this speech sug- gested the name Alaska for Russian America
 As these extensive possessions, con- stltutlng corner of the continent, pass from the imperial government of Russia they will naturally receive a new name,' v he said. "They will clearly no longer be Russian America. How shall they be called? Clearly any name borrowed from classical history or from individual invention will be little better than a mlsnomer or nickname unworthy of such an occasion. Even if taken from our own history it will be in doubtful taste. The name should come from the country itself. It should be indigenous, aboriginal, one of the autochthons of the soil. Happily, such a name exists, which Is as proper in sound as in origin. It appears from the reports of Cook, the illustrious navigator, that the eupho- neous name now applied to the penin- sula which is the continental link in the Aleutian chain was the sole word used originally by the native islanders when speaking of the American conti- nent in general, vaich they knew per fectly well to be great land. It only remains that, following these natives, whose places are now ours, we, too, shall call thi, great land Alaska"
 The treaty ceding Alaska to the United States was signed March 30, 1867; was ratified by the senate on May 2S, and on June 20 publicly proclaimed by the president. On Oct. Is of the same year the United States took military posses sion of her domain. The house held up the appropriation for payment of the purchase price, however, for nearly q year.
 There is story that few days be- fore William II. Stewards death he was asked what he considered the most mo- mentous measure in his busy official career. "Thc purchase of Alaska, " said the grand old statesman, but it will take the people generation to find it out.
 The secretary was right, both in his conclusion that the purchase of Alaska was his greatest official act and Tn the prophecy that it would take genera tion for the people to find it out The wonder of the bargain that Uncle sam got will continue to grow for many gen erations
 Alaska cost about cents an acre. She has produced at least $lOO,OOO GOO worth of gold; the output in 1905 was $l5, ,94000o The receipts from Alaska revenues have been $l0 ,s33 934-5O per cent. more than the eos, of the terri tory. The total value of all furs pro- duced in Alaska from 1870 to l9O6 was $a6, 900 600. Besides there are millions of acres of lands covered with the finest timber. And all of this Uncle sam bought for 7,2O0. .00O. .-Kctchikan Mi- ming Journal.
