THE SUFFRAGETTE

careful canvass has demonstrated that in this country one woman in five thousand would vote if matters political were so ordered. Hence the "Suffragette." She reminds us of those stirring lines of the late Sena- tor Ingalls, ill discussing a temperance plank incorporated in Republican advocated by long-haired men and shorthaired women-the unsexed of both sexes-the itinerant capons and epicenes of society,""
 The woman who wants to vote is almost invariably female who has failed to attach to herself man; a woman who, having no political voice through husband or son, desires to get even with the unappreciative world and raise I'll generally. It seems to us that these short-haired saviors of their country and those vapid ninnys who follow in their lurid wake: would be better employed in expending their strcnuosity on the main chance wherein their mutual energies might even yet produce legitimate voters who are entitled to wear pants.

AID ALASKA" WILL
 ASSA|L CONGRESS

Seattle, Jan. 2S-Business and pro- fessional men of Seattle, their wives and their children are organized in behalf of .Alaska's need for roads. What is better the relatives of all these persons are to be called upon to join forces, and the indications are that ere long every United States senator and every United States rep resentative will be overwhelmed with literature bearing upon the needs of | Alaska, her resources, her possibil- ties and her reasons for having her needs granted.
 The Seattle chamber of commerce yesterday passed resolution urging 1 congress to appropriate S1 ,0nO,0OO for the purpose of constructing roads in Alaska, and particularly directing at tention to the advantages to be gained by trunk road running from Valdez to Nome by the way of Fairbanks. Mayor Miller has designated Satur- day as Alaska day and every mer- chant in town is preparing to send broadcast throughout the United States literature and maps showing the area of Alaska and emphasizing it's necessities in the way of roads. The project has met with the hcarti- est promises of support and the indi- cations are that the people of the cast will have an awakening such as they never had before when it comes to being instructed with regard to the vast empire of wealth at the north most extremity of the continent. To l the effect that the plea of Alaska for congressional assistance may be hcrd- ed, every person receiving the let erature prepared for distribution will be asked to use all possible influence with the senators and the rcprCscm- tatiVcs from the state where the re- cipient lives.
 The idea to be carried into effect next Saturday cmanatcd from the fer tile brain of Dan $. Kain of Valdez, who, since coming outside last fall, has been an ardent worker in behalf of Alaska. Prominent business men of Seattle, and of Portland, other Alaskans and the scmi-civic organiza- tions of each city have joined forces with Mir. Kain that his desires may be realized.

KUSKOKWIM PRODUCES
 APPROXIMATELY S4.OOO

The kuskOkwim placer diggings this last season produced between $3,000 and $4,O0O, taken out by four or five men, according to Sandy Sui- livan, who arrived yesterday from the Tuluksak river. Mir. Sullivan who has read some of the accounts in the Nome paper of this same sec tion characterizcs them as "hot air, although he says there is plenty of room in that region for camp. To date the pay has been found in three places; on Bonanza creek, on Tiny gulch and the Tuluksak river about three miles below Bear creek. This last strike was made just before the freezeup. All these strikes are shal- low. On Bear creek, however, it is believed that the ground will be deep. No one has been to bedrock as yet. This creek was stakcd almost entirely for Fairbanks people.
 The country rock of the region is composed of porphyry, slate, granite, and limestone. The porphyry is very much decomposed.
 On Bonanza there are two feet of pay dirt containing large quantities of bl ack sand. On Tiny gulch there is no black sand, Assays made of Tiny gold vary from $18.00 to $10. per ounce.
 The Tuluksak river comes into the Kuskokwim about six miles above Bettles. In the lower reaches it is affected by the tide for short dis tance above it's mouth. On account of the sluggish current polling boat with 2,000 pounds can be easily talk en up to the diggings distance of ninety miles from the mouth.
 From Holy Cross Mission 1t is only three days by dog team to Bear creek and during the summer the trip can be easily made by boat through the Holy Cross portage,
 Supplies are short in the camp, flour being the only com modity for sale.
 There are at present about forty men on the Tuluksak and others are going in from time to time.
 Mir. Sullivan will not return until after the breakup. Panama Tribune.

The stampcdcrs who started for Katalla the other morning have all returned. They got only as far as camp seven out on Copper river. Here they came in contact with a wind going down the river at the rate of sixty-thrcc miles an hour They waited for day to see if the wind would not subsidc but when they left there it was still "mushng" toward Katalla. They claim that while this gale was blowing on the river that q quarter of a mile thi way from the bridge, there was scarcely any wind. Tie strongest wind registered out there this winter was eighty miles per hour. The ther- mometer has stood about the same as here in town but the terrific wind makes the cold much more penetrat- ing.

If a Fourth judicial division is created by congress it is said that President Roosevelt has promised to make George A. Shea United States marshal. Shea is now in training for the position, United States Marshal Love having made him chief deputy at Fairbanks. For the judgeship, c. D. Murane, of Nome, has his hat in hand, because he was the defeated republican candidate for delegate in 1906. He is of the Hoggatt persuasion, as is also Lewis P. Shackleford, of Juneau, who would also like the iob, it is said. Porter J. Coston, of Nome, is also said to be candidate, and if the plum is given an Alaskan which is doubtful-no better selection could be made, as he is a man of fine legal training, with well poised judicial mind, and he has kept himself free from all "entangling alliances. ."--Ex.

Two surgeons, Drs. Carroll and Keen have been telling the Ameri- can Philosophical Society the results of some startling experiments in sur gery. The experiments are based on the success of certain trials on cats and dogs. They declared it to be possible to graft the organs of the dead on to the living. For example, if dead mans kidneys are healthy, they can be removed to q place of cold storage not exceeding sixty days and can then be substituted for the diseased kidneys of living man. This eXpcriE cnt has beon tried on cats and dogs, and the doctors say it is easier in the case of human organs because they are larger. The knee joint of a dead man has also been substituted for the injured joint of one who was living g.-Ex.

in another defeat for the Frenchman.

ming through them all and across
our property and with producing
wells within $50 feet of our ground,
can we miss the oil? We consider
our ground proved oil land. Manager
A. A. Ward says: "IF YOU WILL
DRILL THE HOLES YOU WILL
GET THE OIL" These are posi-
tive words, coming from a prac-
teal driller of 25 years experience.
Business men and ranchers who
have gone to our property intend
ing to purchase a few thousand
shares of Crown Oil stock return
enthusiastic about our possibilities
as big dividend-payer and
bought many thousand shares.
Every week we take probable in
Vestors to the property, and after
visiting the wells around us and
walking over the oil sands upon
our grounds they become active
stockholders. Their friends are in
duced to investigate our manage
ment and visit our oil land, then
they become stockholders. Thus we
have a growing family of stock
holders who are enthusiastic and
convinced that the Crown OIL Com
pany within a few months at most
will be a big, producing and raging
concern.
Pipe Lines and Flowing Water
In addition to the choice location
of our ground, being so near pro-
duclng wells of long life and light
oil, we are unusually favored by
having four transportation pipe
lines already constructed and pass
ing within easy reach of our prop
erty. The day we get the oil we
can market it and receive cash for
our product every 80 days. There
will be no waiting for the coming
Of pipe lines, but should we wish
to market our own oil we could
construct a pipe line to the railroad
for less than $4,000 and deliver our
oil in Los Angeles for a few cents
per barrel
