minutes; it cures in a few weeks or

1t is made chiefly Of eucalyptus and
eucalyptoi taken from the eucalyptus
forests OF inland Australia. The med

efficient, pleasant and quick-acting by
the addition Of thymol, an antiseptic

The Kings Daughters Circle held
their regular monthly meeting at the
FIRST Methodist church on last Friday
afternoon, the attendance being rather
large for the summer monthly meetings.
Among the important business that
was tranaacted was the resignation ten

made motion that her resignation as
leader be accepted much opposition
was brought against it's acceptance.
1t was finally decided that Mrs. Giles

chair during Mrs. GilIespies absence.

nOSMtR ( MENEES
WILL ENLARGE
Their Plant Within the Next Few
Weeks. Doubling Output.

Last Monday The Commonwealth re-
porter rode out to the hustling hard
wood lumber mill of Hosmer & Menees
and enjoyed visit to this prosperous
concern. We are gratified to know
that this mill will at an early date es-
tablish band mill, making their plant
two-story structure. This will be an
expenditure of about $4,000.
The mill now consists of abont six
houses, large derrick for unloading
and stacking logs. and a yard upon
which about 10000 feet of hardwood
lumber is dried. The weekly paw roll
of this plant amounts to about $500. and
will almost double itself when the new
band mill is instituted. This paw roll
does not include the cutting and haul
ing ct the logs. but only the work done
at mill site. % men are employed.
Mr.. Hosmer is from Niagara Falls, N.
Y. and has been connected with the
lumber business for ten years, while
Mr.. Menees, who halls from Springfield,
Tenn, has had nine years experience in
this business.
Their office at the plant is qui te a
neat little structure, the inside being
made of hardwood, the wood which
they manufacture. All the tables.
desks and chairs used in the office are
the products of hardwood lumber.
This firm has been conducting a gen.
eral hardwood manufacturing business
In our city for about four and a half
years and have made a decided success.
They are industrious citizens, and their
plant is an industry of which Green
wood is proud, and which is of impor-
tance to our commercial interests. We
wish them continued success.

For thonsand miles the 'Northwest-
ern" steamed through the ''inside pas
sage" an everchanging paaaroma OF
pine clad hills, tipped with snow, tow
ering mountains with white peaks far
above the clouds, countless islands,
wonderful glaciers and beautiful cas-
cades. One OF the glaciers OF Taku was
visited, the steamer approaching it
closely. Once in while q whale was
sighted. and schools Of porpoises raced
with the ship. Nowhere else is there
any such scenery. Storms do not mar
the enjoyment. The passage is mar
row, the mountainous banks closing it
in from the tempest on both sides,
hence it is az quiet AZ . river. People
from all over the world are beginning
to come to see it. 1t is one of the
earth's great sights. A more superb
panorama could not be imagined. Lofty
volcanic rock formations shoot their
sheer sides hundreds of feet above the
sea and enclose the brilliant hued glac-
ier-a rugged pack Of ice, a mile in
breadth, extending along the valley
back for niles and forced forward con-
stantly by the tremendous pressure
from behind. Countless tons Of frozen
crags are precipitated into the sea and
begin their journey southwark.
There is superb scenery along the
Taku inlet, misty clouds yelling the
snowy submits and giving proper set
ting to the ice-dotted channel.
There is = second glacier in the Taku
inlet, but it is not active. It is dull
colored and has ceased to move and
drop it's acres Of ice into the inlet. The
active and the "dead" glaciers are
quite close together and may be viewed
in a single glance.
Capt. Croskey took the "Northwes-
tern" some distance out Of the regular
course in order to visit the glacier, and
the passage is more or less dangerous,
but the editorial party were given the
best in sight. This side trip consumed
a couple of hours and after the vessel
had stopped at the glacier and permit
ted an extended view to the tourist
she was turned around and steamed for
the main channel.
THE ALASKAN ELKS.
Juneau Elks are Justly proud of their
new $3O, 900 home. 1t contains on the

billiard room and reception hall. On

the lodge rooms are above. There are
$50 affiliated with the Jundau order,
and in all Of Alaska there is but one
other club, that at Sksgway. The Jun
eau club house is built Of wood, the in
terror work being very costly.
In the evening one Of the "Northwes-

the evening very much.

FIRST STOP WAS KETCHIKAN,
ALASKA.
The route from Seattle along the
coast of British Columbia and Alaska,
among the thousands of islands which
outly the coast north of the strait of
Juan de Fuca, is through Active Pass
into the Gulf OF Georgia, between Van
couver Island and the mainland, and
thence northward for nearly five hun
dred miles through foreign waters, past
Dixon Entrance and along RevilIagige-
do Channel and Tongass Narrows to
Ketchikan the first stop and first port
in Alaska, and 662 miles north of Se-
attle.
The people of Ketchikan entertained
"us splendidly during our short stop.
The mayor, editor, business men AMI a
band of good music welcomed Us to
their thriving little manufacturing and
mining town of about 500 people.
ketchikan occupies place at the
foot of a rocky hill, being built out on
the ledge to the edge of the water.
The town, in the main, is one built on
piles, over the water, the flooring of the
houses, the walks and streets being
some twenty feet above the water.
All of the houses are built of wood, SO
are the elevated walks and streets
In the main portions of the town the
streets and walks run at right angles,
hut on the outskirts the wooden paths
or bridges ramble along in all dircc-
tiOns. There are some step slopes on
several streets. How do the horses
manage? We didn't see a singles horse
or vehicle, but were told tho horse pop
ulation amounted to only three.
GREAT SALMON FISHING.
If Ketchikan is short on stock it is
long on salmon. In fact creek which
runs through the town and is inhabited
by millions Of salmon in the spawning
season was the cause of the founding of
the town among the rather unhospitable
surroundings

order that they might spawn in pro
tected hooks. Thousands were to b<
seen swim ming in great schools in the
shallow and clear creek water. All
were headed up stream. The creet
runs over rocks and there are some
rapids where the water rushes down
with great force. But the salmon lear
up these falls, fling themselver on the
rocks and work their way upward.
In the broad part Of the creek neal
it's mouth where it debauches into the
inland channel Of the sea, . half dozen
fishermen in boats lowered their nets
and made one haul for the benefit Of the

watch the feat.

young fish who are born thrive on the
decaying bodies Of their parents. Al

they instinctively return to spawn and

The sort Of salmon caught in these
waters are known as "humpies," deriv-
ed from a hump on tho fish. When the
salmon die in the creek the water be-

has too much "humpy juice"
A haul Of as many az 100, 800 salmon
has been made at Ketchikan.
VIEWING QUAINT TOTEM POLES.
Totem poles, planted by real Worship
pers, were seen by the editors for the
first time in Ketchikan. A number Of
these incongruous things are in various
parts of the quaint city. Weather
beaten and stained, they stand in the
midst of a new civilization, a reminder
of the things that have gone before.
One big totem pole that shoots up
some fifty feet is surmounted by raw

is that raven once flew to the sea,
there welded fish and the union start

the pole.
During our stay at Ketchikan = num-

the sea engaged in fishing. Not a great
number of natives were noticed in the
streets of Ketchikan.

Hanson has been drilling the chill
dren for several weeks until they are
we'll able to take off the cast OF

clubs, both the girls and the boys,
will render selections and a double
quartet also promises something rare
in the way of musical treat. There
is considerable talent in these clubs
which has been developed by the
efforts of Miss Hanson.
The teachers and pupils of the
local schools are sadly in the need
of another piano, as the one which
is now in the high school room is in
use most of the time and one is
needed for the rooms on the first
floor of the building. 1t is with
the intention of supplying this deficit
that Boy Blue" will be presented to
the Bemidji public.
Miss Hanson has announced that
the price of admission will be Csc

of 10 cents for reserving the seats,
instead of IS and so cents as stated
in the Pioneer Tuesday evening.
Children will be charged IS cents.
Tickets are on sale at the City Drug
store, where the ordinary tickets
may be exchanged for reserved ones.

ence present Friday evening as Be-
