E. ]. Edwards, for many years

E. J. Edwards, for many years a writer for a great New York has now written al, ar ticle entitled Yankee Leaders of the New Era of Expansion" in which he throws some light on the present visit of men high in the H. nancial world to Alaska. He says that by September there will be an interesting story to tell of the results of their investigations, and there will be work commenced having in view the development of Alaska in a way undreamed of, even few years ago. The Guggenheims, the repreresentive of Baron Roths- child, and George w. Perkins, re-

at the time he vented his spleen against the ladies of Wrangell.
 Such are the facts. In the first place he is barking up the wrong tree; and in the second, 1t was and is none of his business, or the bus mess of any man or woman in Ketchikan, what Mrs. Snyder or any member of the Wrangell Wo- mans Auxiliary wishes done with her contribution to the exhibit.
 As for the cheap bathos which Howdeshell has indulged in about crippled babies, fatherless waifs, unfortunate girls, etc., we. would most respectfully suggest that he refrain from judging other towns by his own, As far as we have been able to discover, there is not a case of suffering or want in the town that has not been relieved long ago, and at that without any assistance from ketchikan.
 No, MT. Howeshell' t was not the desire for notoriety or cheap advertising which actuated inc gift, but the desire to follow the teachings of the Master when He said Share ye one another's burdens. :"

presenting the Morgan group have been in Alaska to see with their own eyes and to confirm the re- potts of their agents. The Gug- genheims are especially in copper and coal. MT. Perkins has in mind chiefly the railroad situation; while the Rothschilds stand ready to pour millions of European capi- tai into the territory if the investi- gations now under way are favor able to such a move, The opening of the great copper mines and still greater coal fields of Alaska; the construction of railroads which will not only permit cf the economical development of these properties, but by cheapening and facilitating transportation into the interior, will open the way for further pros pecting and developing of all the resources of that great territory, are among the things which will be seen in the near. future. The ex- penditure of millions as now con templated, in Alaska, will mean the creation of tens of millions of new wealth and the most wonderful ex- pansion of Alaska, and of the en- tire Pacific Northwest. .-Ex.

AN UNWARRANTFD ATTACK

We all know that Ketchikan has no love for Wrangell. Time and again in the past have the actions of the people of that town proved this. but even the most anti ketch- kan Wrangellite had never given that place credit for the miserably cortemptible thoughts presented in an editorial appearing in last week Miner.
 This paper had always looked upon MT. HoNdeshell as being a gentleman, swayed or slightly bi ased, probably, by the desire to put the best front possible on the town in which he happens to be liv- ing, but his utterences in the pres ent instance show that we were mistaken in every respect in our measure of the man.
 In the display sent from Wran- gell to the Exposition at Seattle was an exceptionally fine lot of canned fruits and jellies, the pro- ducts of the bushes and vines of this locality, the greater part hay ing been prepared by Mrs. A. V. K. Snyder, who, actuated as would be any person with drop of the milk of human kindness in their breasts, and desirous of contribut- ing her mite to the cause in which so many people have shared, de- 1ided to sell the fruit and devote the proceeds towards the relief of the Bromley family in Seattle. The Seattle papers in reporting the mat ter made the error of stating that the entire display from this place was to be sold, and that statement was the one the Ketchikan scribe had in mind when he experienced the severe attack of anti-Wrangell rabies from which he was suffering

sensible Girls.

The Chicago girls, pupils in a gram
mer school. who have started a dress
reform movement. will probably win
the gratitude of many sisters there
and elsewhere. The young ladies',
who were about to graduate. decided
that the gowns worn on the occasion
should be simple and inexpensive.
Moreover they were to be made by
themselves, as they had been in
structed in domestic science, which
included sewing. SO the gowns were
made and worn. Good business sense
was shown by cooperating in pur-
chasing the goods. so they were OBJ
tanned at moderate rates. and when
the gowns were completed the cost
was exactly s1.39 per dress. And
there is no doubt that the girls looked
charming in the economical attire
The example set was good one,
There could be no heartburnings be-
cause some Of the young ladies wore
more elaborate and expensive cloth
ing than others and the making OF
the dresses was proof positive Of
adeptness in an art likely to be use
full in the future lives OF the pupils

Magnificent distances in Alaska.

The great problem in Alaska is
that of transportation. Every place
of present Importance in southeastern
Alaska and southwestern Alaska is
reached by steamers, and the govern
ment Is slowly putting in the neces-
Isary lighthouses. The one railroad
over the White pass is a convenient
link with the upper Yukon, and there
are several lines in progress from the
coast farther northward to the lower
Yukon valley. Outsiders have strange
notions about Alaskan geography; a
project was actually formed for build
ing a railroad from Portland canal,
on the southern boundary of Alaska,
to Skagway, ignoring inlets which
penetrate a hundred miles up into
the mountains. and quite overlooking
the vast glaciers which come down
into the sea. over which no railroad
could possibly be maintained. The
Guggenheim interests are building a
road from Valdez northward to reach
copper and other mines, and a rival
company has constructed one mile OF
road out of Faldez, and has one loco
motive.
II the Yukon valley proves to be
available for settlers. some time a
road viii parallel the river and thus
keep up the winter transit. At present
the winter highways in that part OF
the world are trails traversed only by
dog sledges.-Jpneau Letter to the

CONFIDENCE
We Back Up Our Statements With
Our Personal Reputation and

We are so positive that we can
cure constipation, no matter how
chronic II may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
IL we fail.
II Is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
make constipation more chronic. Be
sides, their use becomes a habit that
is dangerous and often fatal.
Constipation is caused by weak
ness OF the nerves and muscles of
the large Intestine or descending
colon. To expect a cure you must
