Our Grandmothers used to get a lot OF

until the acetic acid in the vinegar pro-
duced an iron solution. This concoction
was then taken by nearly every member
OF the family during the Spring and Fall
and it rarely ever failed to strengthen and
benefit the person taking it. The old
way was good but there is new way
that is far better. Science has discovered
a way to manufacture Iron so that il
can be dissolved in syrups and elixirs and
given in definite doses. One of the best
and surest ways to take Iron is in

 NEW YORK, Dec. 15.- Dorando Pietri, the Italian athlete who re- gently defeated John Hay in the Mar athon race in this city, will meet Tom Longboat tonight in similar race.

 SEATTLE, Dec. 15.-A love affair ended up today in what came near to being a tradgedy.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15.- During the last session of Congress, at tho time when the Alaska Central railroad company, which Twas one of the many companies that were or ganlzsd by HID. Reynolds, was called upon to show why it had not lived up to it's agreement with the government and explained the trouble as being caused by disagreement among the directors as to which route to take, a committee was appointed to investi- gate the matter. It was stated at that time that there were many rail- road ventures contemplated and that companies were being organized by irresponsible persons. The committee submitted it's report to Congress to day and it shows that there were one hundred and forty different companies organized and that each company had a different route for entering the in- terior with railroad, practically all Cf theme unfeasible.

Ketchikan the First City
 In Alaska

Geographically speaking the above title may be correct, but at the pres ent writing it would apply to any other than a geographical description of this pretentious town. There is no good reason why Ketchikan should not be first In all that goes to promote the welfare of its residents individu- ally and collectively. Our people have ambition, energy and talent, the con- ception of which will accomplish every desirable object for the ad- vancement and progress of the town.
 Those who are interested, those who are hopeful, those who are inclined to look on the bright side, should make up their minds to strive to collect the scattered forces above alluded to, and organize them to advance the best ir- tersts of the town and district, the pessimistic portion of the community should be left out of the said organiza- tion and not be encouraged to throw cold water on legitimate ways and means to promote the welfare of the
 town.
 Towns to the northward are exert ing themsevles in various ways to further their interests and to be Ion deck" when the wave of prosperity rolls northwsrd in 1909, while Ketch- ikan lies dormant like bear gone into winter quarters, with hardly anything to indicate that life exists. It must be quite obvious to those who expect to remain here that some thing must be done to awaken the community from it's lethargy which has been allowed to creep in. To remain in our present comatose con- dition, would act as an invitation to all enterprises of any worth to go farther north where the people are showing more interest in the affairs of their towns and surrounding dis tricts.
 No intelligent resident of Ketchikan wants to see it relegated back to Siwash days and conditions, and there is no necessity for it to retrograde at all. All that it requires to not only preserve what we have but to pro- gress in prosperity and distance com petition of other towns, is concer ted action on the part of those who are not hopeless, but who can realize the great natural resources by which we are surrounded aud who are ready to take advantage of them if only en- by the good wishes ot those who think likewise.
 It behooves those who desire to see our city forge ahead towards the good things to come, to get together and compare notes as to the most req sonable course to pursue at this time for the purpose of conserving the energy now going to waste, and concentrating in one compact organi.

 Ut is difficult to understand why, at the death of it's possessor, great wealth, gathered or created in any of these or in other forms, should not be shared by the com nun ty ich has been the m 0 t potent cause or partner of all in it's crelation. We have seen that enUr- nous fortunes are dependent upon the community; without great and in- creasing population there could be no great wealth. Where wealth accures honorably the people are always silent partners.
 Beyond a compe tency for old age, which need not be great and may be very small, wealth lessens .rather than increase human happiness. Mill lionaires who laugh are rare. The deplorable family quarrels which so often afliict the rich, generally have their rise in sortid differences about money. The most miserable of men as old age approaches are those who have made money making their god l: like flies on the wheel, these unfor- tunates iondly believe they were really driving it, only to find when tired and craving rest that it is im- possible for them to get of, and they are lost-plenty to retire upon but nothing to retire to, and so they end as they began, striving to add to their useless hoards, passing into nothing ness, leaving their money behind for heirs to quarrel over.
 "Great fortunes are few. The aggregate of wealth embraced in these is small compared with the amount in very moderate fortunes.

The writer knows of but one man now in active business who is likely to have an ex- ceptionally large estate, ard the founuation of that was laid more than half century ago by the purchase of timber lands which have increase d enormously in value.
 Meanwhile, our immediate duty is to distribute surplus wealth to the best of our ability ;n such forms as we believe best caclulated to improve existing conditions, and to secure its more equitable distriution hereafter by heavy progressive death duties and by assessing the people in proportion to their ability to support the Govern ment.
 "We must all learn the great truth that only competence is desirable, almost necessary, wealth non-essential, and when it does come it is only a sacred trust to be administered only for the general good.''
