ALASKA NEEDS RAILWAYS.
Territory Has 100000 Square Miles
Untouched by Explorer.

Alaska, with more than 100000 square
miles of territory, has virtually 100000
square miles untouched by the explorer,
saws the Chicago Tribune. Yet in 1908 it
nroduced almost $2O,OOO,OOO worth of
minerals, s19,0Oo,ooo Of which was gold:
Lack of transportation in the territory
is the greatest factor Keeping back its de-
veiopment In these 100000 square
miles there are only 452 miles of wagon
road, 397 miles Of sled road, and 2 S55
miles of improved trails. It has only goo
miles of railroad, a considerable portion
Of which is out of repair and idle, and
only fifty miles of new road was built IN
The cost of transportation has made
it impossible to work any but the rich
est of mineral deposits in many sections
of the country. Supplies must be, fur
nished the mining communities, and ex-
cent in those remote camps where the
gold deposits are extremely ely, rich f,,nd dis
prohibitive. Alaska is ripe for new
era in TRANSFORMATION facilities.

FISH FROM THE CLOUDS.
Picked Up on an English Hillslde-ln :
stances from India.

On Friday last a number of towns
people taking a walk on the slopes or
Knockscalbert hill were surprised to see
on the grass near lummerhill large
number of very small fishes. varying IN
length from 11a to 2 inches. The fish ap-
peared to be the young of the herring
and their presence on the hill in consld-
cradle numbers created much specula-
ton.
In August. 1904, a shower of herring
fry was experienced at the head OF Long
row, but there was nc doubt as to
whence the miniature fish had come, for
they fell from above on the hats and
clothing of several men. and at the time
a small black cloud of remarkable dens-
ity was directly overhead.
The phenomenon of fish falling from
the clouds is, says our contemporary, or
more common occurrence than is gen
orally supposed. 1t is undoubtedly due
to some small fry of fishes having been
lifted from the water and carried over
dry land by what is popularity known
as a waterspout.
Many cases are reported from abroad,
and they are common in India. Last
year Caithness reported a shower of
small fishes which were Identified as
herring fry, and there was also SINH
lar occurrence in Rossshire.
Frogs, insects and other living crea-
lures have also been known to be thus
transported through the air.-Campbell-

BILE Plisht-Cured by Cuticura.
''My six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sore, but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed
physician who left medicine, but it did
not help her and l tried several RENE
dies, but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised,
thought l would try them. gave her
hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura

the itching and in a short time the dis
ease disappeared. Mrs. G. L. Fridhof,

FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS

There is great variety in skirts, as,
indeed, there is in everything. In some
brief interviews with Paris dressmakers
published in "The Woman's Home Com
panion' Nine. Havet says: I'VE are
tashioning full skirts, straight skirts,
plain circular skirts and Killed skirts.
Paquin favors the plated skirt, and in
many of his gowns the princess top APP
pears with pleats, not very faring, be-
low. Also, French women are taking
pleats front and back. mounted on d
fitted yoke which extends about inches
above the waist line. Variety rules,
and any woman with a reasonably good
figure some money and fair taste can
look well. AS one of the dressmakers
says: Many things are not beautiful,
but then it is an easy matter to avoid
them"
