had been covered with the fabric.

HOW TO INCREASE REVENUES.

Instead Of maintaining excessive
tariff rates on many Of the necessi-
ties of life, if congress would raise
the price Of timber land from $3.50
per acre to something near its actual
yolue, the effect on the revenues of
the nation would be highly appreciat-
ed by the public.
At the present time, priceless tim
Der land, which is eagerly sought
for ty sawmin corporations, is sold
at the Insignificant sum of S2.5o per
acre-merely a pittance compared to
its true value.
Often on the day on which final
proof Is made upon timber land, the
entryrnan transfers 1t to a timber
syndicate for several times the price
paid the government and the syndi-
cate in ;urn reaps an immense profit.
MaxyeI.'s Talisman says Of the tim
Der and stone law, by which the tim
Der area of the country is passing
into the hands of the corporations:
1t is utterly inconceivable that con-
gregs would ever have passed the
timber and stone act If it had realiz-
e. 30 odd Jeans ago the rapidly
with which the then existing forests
were to disappear, and the use to
which the act would be put in trans
ferr.ng 20 q few monopolistic hands
the greater part Of the timber area
The idea then prevailed that the
hest use to which any forest could
be pat was 70 destroy it; and con-
gress deemed that it was doing q
tficent act in so framing the Law
that as many persons as possible
should have a chance at the timber
Everybody knows that the chance
has been mainly used by people EN-
ployed Ia thousands to locate claims
ostenslbly for their own use, but real
" for the use Of lumber barons.

THERE MUST BE REGULATION.

Perhaps no other subject is now
attracting the attention Of so many
state legislatures as the subject Of
railroad regulation.
From the older states where roads
have been operated for many years
and in the new states where roads
are Just now beginning to operate,
conoes the same insistent demand that
railroads be rigidly regulated in the
interest Of the people.

There are three critical stages in
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first OF these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another Of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. PinkhAm's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely

from grateful persons, two OF which

How It Would Affect Rampant.

The proposed change would make commu- nication between Rampant and Panama tow n longer and would isolate the few people be- tween here and Panama and between here and Fort Yukon entirely. There is no de- nying that that is u bad feature of the prop osition.
 On the other hand, winter mail from the outside would reach Rampant from two to four weeks earlier than at present and the time from Fairbanks would be more than cut in half. Perhaps the most important thing of all would be the benefit to the miners across the divide.
 Altogether, the advantages of the change would seem to greatly oyerbalance the dis advantages.
Yukon Valley news., 1907-04-24

The Fairbanks Times of April contains an outline of the changes suggested fy Major Cum. The complete plan is not given, but there is enough of it to show its advan- tage over the present system to the territory as a whole and to Rampant and nearly dis tricts in particular.
 It proposes to cut out the Eagle Panama run entirely and to have all winter mail for interior Alaska enter at Valdez.
 The most important points in the recom- nendation are enumerated as follows:
 First. That route No. 7sIll, from Eagle to Panama by way of the Yukon river, 5sl miles, be abandoned
 Second. That the service route No. 7S113, from Valdez to Fairbanks, be increased from once a week to three times week and that the weight limit be increased from 500 pounds to 3,2OO pounds ger week.
 Third. That the service on routes No. 1sli5, No 7sII9 and No. 7S,l22, from Fairbanks to Nome, be increased from once week to twice a week, and that the weight limit be increased from sO0 pounds per week to 1.6o0 pounds per week.
 Fourth That all mail for the interior of Alaska enter at Valdez.
 Fifth. That mail for Eagle be carried on route No. 7s1Os, from Valdez to Eagle.
 sixth. That mail for Circle, Fort Yukon and Caro- be brought in by way of Valdez and Fairbanks.
 seventh. That route No. SIP he extended from Circle to Fort Yukon and Caro-.
 Eighth. That mail for Rampant he brought in by way of Valdez to Fairbanks and dis patched thence on route No. 1sii3 to Hot Springs.
 Ninth. That route or spur be established Letxeen Hot Springs and Rampant to com meet Rampant with route No. 1sli3.
 Tenth. That mail from the interior of Alaska for Eagle, Dawson and the Yukon Territory be dispatched by way of Fair banks on route No. Tsils to connect with route No. 1siOs at Gakoaa. tf practicable;

Only One Difficulty.

There is but one thing that might stand in the way of the adoption of the suggested changes, and that is the terms of the present contracts. The Northern Commercial Com pany holds nearly all the contracts. From u superficial view it would seem that the pro- posed new order of things, with the cor- pensation remaining at pres ent, would be to the companys interest; but it Is not cer- tain the company would so consider it.
