Alaska Coal Entries

Secretary Ballinger has given in- structions for speedy investigation of all pending applications to enter coal lands in Alaska and for the prompt issuance of patents in all cases where no fraud is found. If the orders are followed out literally, a situation which has checked important develop ment work for long time will be re- Iieved.
 The coal land entries in Alaska have been held up for years. As result of this hold.up railroad construction to one of the most important coal fields was stopped and the road itself went into the hands of a receiver. It was impossible to secure the needed capi- tai until it could appear that the coal mines were to be opened and to become shippers within some reasonable period.
 The coal of Alaska is much needed. If is the best coal produced on the Coast, and some veins are as good as any in the United States. Not only IS this coal needed in Alaska, but every where else on this coast. Indeed, the government of the United States would save many thousands of dollars annu- ally if the best of this Alaska coal were on the market; for, if it were, It would no longer be necessary to ship coal out from the Atlantic for naval uses ln these waters. Rather, there would be no excuse for so doing, for there is Tn Alaska coal fully equal to the best Po- cahontas, and if this were on the mar ket the claim that Pacific coast coals are inferior could no longer be avail able to explain the hiring of foreign ships to bring coal around from the Atlantic.
 Speedy action by the agents of the interior department will permit ot the opening of the coal mines of Alaska. It is one thing to order speedy action and another thing to get it; but Secre- tary Ballinger will probably stir things up until he does get what he has or dered.-P.-I.

The Great Seal of Alaska

] ne NJreaC SGdl Ol TALdSha
 The great seal of the "District ot Alaska" is hollow mockery, a delusion and snare, inasmuch as it is in scarce ly any sense typical of Alaska; nor does it in any manner portray any or it's industries, save one, and that is al- most forgotten, namely catching fur seal.
 A snow covered mountain range crowned by the rays of the setting sun, or is the orb of the day rising?-with fringe of scanty timbe at it's base, serve to give some versimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing seal of the District of Alaska. An awkward figure of man, both hands clasping something that resembles a ten-foot pole at an angle of forty.tive degrees, seems to be ambling along in the wake of three or four amorphOus locking oo' iects, which might be porpolses were they not intended as the counterfeit preseutments of fur seal pursued by spearman; a couple of Eskimo lgloos look out with an eye single upon water, in which a two-masted schooner, all sails set, rides at anchor, apparently waiting for mething-perhaps for the man in what may be either canoe or bi- darka, but who seems to be heading for the shore to assist the lone fur seal butcher, who acts as if he had locomoCor ataXia; a rocky islet in the bay, and the nose or stern of another sea.golng vessel of indeterminate class, seem to have been flung to the center of the seal, by the designer, to add to the tout ensem ble, or to fill an aching void probably the latter.
 The seal of the District of Alaska Qs it District or Territory?J is archaic in that it does not herald the Alaska of to- day-not familiar scene, save tue snow. .draped mountains. Their little basic fringe of dwarf tim Der is libel on the great forests of fir, spruce, hem lock and red and yellow cedar which cover vast areas of the territory.
 The present seal, perhaps, to be eX- actIy fair, should not be utterly con- demned. It has served it's purpose, since it shows the beggining of things in Alaska-that time when fur seal was it's principal product, if we except the whaling industry of Boring sea and the Arctic. But surely with the advances Alaska has made, even in the last de- cade, her importance as a gold pro- ducer, her possibilities in the produc- tion of copper and coal, petroleum, tin and other minerals, to say nothing of her immense fisheries and her wealth of forest, demand that something of these be written into the official seal of this great commonwealth. Let us have a new seal. The original one has out lived it's usefulness. It was never at tractive.-Katalla Herald.

Advertising is a straight business proposition. It is the quickest, most effective and least expensive way for merchant to make his existence known to the public to tell them what he has to sell and why they should buy it of him. It stands on it's merits. It is worth all that it costs. The dealer who useg space merely to "help the paper alohg" will not find it profitable. The publisher who solicits advertising on the plea of "cha-ity" deserves DO re- sponse. Charity is all very well iu it's way, but it must not be mixed with characterization News.

Where He is a Bit Lame.

In his speech at Albany, N. Y, Mr..
Taft said: 81 want Governor Hughes
to come out and back me up on this
platform. When we are together
there is plenty of strength, and we
work better than on separate plat
forms. In Massachusetts,, from where
| just came, | had senator and a
congressman or two to help me on
the platform, and that's where I need
assistance.
Many a truth has been uttered in
jest. MIR. Taft was nominated as a
Roosevelt reformer and elected as
tariff revisionist. He helped in the
enactment Of a tariff bill that increases
the consumers burdens, declared
Aldrich to be the republican leader in
the senate and a fit counsellor for the
American people and gave to Secre-
tary Ballinger a clean bill. With
these facts in view one is impressed
that the president was right when he
said "that's where | need assist
ance. "-COmmOner.

Dying Boxer Hero Asks Aid For
Nurse He Wed.

San Francisco, Sept,-A ugu S t
Chamot, the hero of the Boxer up
rising" wearing the decoration of the
French Legion of Honor, a medal
from the late Pope Leo Kill, and
with testimonials to his bravery from
half dozen nations, is dying in pow
erty at his home in Darkspur, a San
Francisco suburb, after making vain
appeals for aid for his wife, who was
Miss Betsy Dollar, of New York, his
nurse, whom he secretly married last
Thursday.
Chamot is the man who risked his
life when the Boxers were besieging
Pekin in 1897 to obtain provisions for
the 1920 foreigners and Christians in
the besieged city. He obtained sup
plies enough to last 70 days, and the
whole world rang with applause for
his deed.
Tuesday, turned down by those
who then lavished gifts upon him,
Chamot sent the following message
to his friends in his native country:
II am dying. Will you pay my
funeral expenses"
The marriage of Chamot and Miss
Dollar, who has nursed him during
the three years of his illness-an i'll
ness that must soon end in death, re-
vealed romance with both somber
and heroic side. Chamot believes
that his name may be of'value to his

Good Wheat.

Ten acres of the Russian Kharkove
wheat grown by Fleming Brothers
this year, threshed out 352 bushels,
in addition to quite a lot that was fed
to the chickens. This yield was great
ly in excess of that of neighboring
fields of the common varieties Of
wheat and seems to substantiate the
claim Of the Kansas state agricultural
college to the effect that the Kharkove
wheat is the greatest producer known.
Sterling Fleming, speaking Of the
matter and evincing his satisfaction at
the results attained, says that he be-
lieves that II would be a great thing
for the farmers Of this region to make

homegrown grain brings about a

Eat More Apples.

Farmers and others who have a
good apple orchard handy will be in
terested in what "Naturopath' has to
say about their value for medicinal
purposes; apple eating, especially
before retiring, is very beneficial to
health. Apples are very nutritious,
for they contain more phosphoric acid
than any other fruit or vegetable. If
eaten before retiring, the brain and
liver will be benefited; undisturbed
sleep is produced; the odor of the
mouth is disinfected; the superfluous
acids of the stomach are restrained;
hemorrhoidal disturbances are para
lyzed; secretions of the kidneys are
accelerated and the formation of
stone prevented. The eating of ap-
Piles is also an excellent preventive OF
indigestion, and of certain forms OF
throat troubles.
This stray verse emphasizes the
suggestion:
Apple a day, keeps the doctor away;
Apple at night, starve him outright;
Apple each meal and one for sleep
Kill him and shroud him and bury
him deep!

Doctor Lassar. the famous German pro-
fesSor. says the first step toward stopping
the falling of hair. itching scalp and dan
druff is to keep the scalp clean by washing.
This should be done daily in the beginning.
and as the scalp assumes more normal
condition. the head can be washed less fire.
quently In any event, the head and hair
should be cleansed at least twice week
with reliable wash. 1t is just as neces-
sary to keep the head and hair clean as to
keep the face and hands clean. The old
idea that a shampoo once month or two
was sufficient is positively wrong. There
is no remedy that will make hair grow
after the roots are dead. There is no rem
edy for the hair of any special value unless
it cleanses and restores the scalp to
healthy. soft, smooth. natural condition
So far as we know, Birt's Head Wash is
the only thing of the kind that you can
use and KNOW what you are using: 1t is
not an ordinary shampoo, and it is not
sold as shampoo. It is a wash for the
