 President Taft, in letter to Gov. Clark, of Alaska, says: 'In the ab- sence of any action by the senate at this session on the nomination of Herbert l.. Faulkner as marshal of the first division of Alaska, Mir. Faulkner will be continued in office under his present appointment by the district judge, which was made under the pro visions of the federal statutes and the request of the attorney general. "Be- lieving thoroughly in the qualifications of the new marshal, he will receive the full confidence and support of the ad- ministration, and it is my intention to send his nomination to the senate again at the next session."
 There are known spots innumerable in Alaska where a man might dig with an absolute certainty of finding gold nuggets and yet the nuggets are left in the ground untouched. The trouble is it would take probably two days to gather five dollars worth of naggets. There is plenry of fine tim Der and coal and other natural resources in Alaska that will probably not be touched dur ing the next hundred years, and for the same reason. Natural resources are worthless unless they are gathered up and delivered to market; and it happens frequently that the labor and hauling to market make up the larger part of the market price.-Fairbanks Times.

They should be man. aged so as to increase the stand Of the best timber-spruce--and decrease that of the least desirable-hemloek. The insufficient supply in the forests the anterior should be given the best of care for it is not likely, with the most intelligent management, to be able to furnish more than 8 part of the home demand, as the high grade timber which may be needed will always have to be imported"

REGISTER CIGARS
 THE,DEMAND

There is nothing that can be favor ably compared with the New Haven Register. That statement holds good as to it's application to the excellent cigar turned out by A. Kafka & Go. the New Haven State street manufac- turers of good smokes or to the paper of that name in which this statement appears. The Register is a leader always has been and, the fact that the Kafka product of cigars has won a deservedly popular success in this city and throughout the State shows that a good name will be taken as a rule only by the maker of$a good product. Those who have smoked the New Ha- ven Register cigar will admit with out debate that it is uniformly one of the best smokes ever made at the price. grown in popularity and has become a strong leader among cigar consumers in this city ar-d it's success is due strictly to the fact that it is the best any other city. It has had strong competition, that is true, but despite this it today stands alone as a top notcher among discriminating users of the weed wherever it is sold
 The same concern makes the equal ly well known and popular General market in this city for several years, the Quinnipiac and~the Evernore, other makes which are also meeting with a good demand, which has compelled the firm of A. Kafka & Co. to enlarge it's manufacturing quarters in the last few years.
 This firm is now employing 150 hands. including 85 cigarmakers. pack CTS and other employees. The whole staff is continually kept busy making and placing for sale the various brands, of which this firm make a. sue cessfuI speciality.
 Of course, there are several good reasons for this advance in popular ity, and the principal one is the un- wearied attention given by the factory management to every detail in the makeup of their quality goods from the leaf selection all through the man moment when the last nail is driven into the box
 In all of the smokes sent out by this firm there is the very best material secret, or at least of the main factor, contributing g to the success of the Kaf- ka cigars is that the company buys direct from producers recognized as the best growers of tobacco in this country and abroad, and for that req son can afford to give a better cigar at the five and 10-cent figure than competitors.
 In the manufacture of it's cigars the kafka company is using to a very large extent now, the 1908 broadleaf, which in the trade is known to be one of the best crops raised in years.
 For smokers who want to enjoy their weed there is nothing like talk ing friendly tip and for the price no better cigar is made than the New Haven Register. or the Evermore, and for a little more money there is the Qulnnipiac and the General Hale. Any of these cigars will not fail to please. That fact has been proved to thou the growing popularity of these brands.

TOWNS DOOMED
 BY LAVA FLOW
Especial from United Press. )

Naples, March 31.-The towns of Bor- e11o and Belpasso are today believed to be doomed as a result of the con tinued spread of the lava flow from Mt. Ftna.
 These towns are now wholly depop- u1ated and soldiers stand guard to prevent any of the residents from re- turning ito their houses. It is now certain that the lava stream will eventually reach the sea. Messages from Catania say that the advance of the stream in the direction of that town has been chacked by the hills to the north and west and that the flow is now turned toward the coast.
 Mt Etna's activity today showed no dirninution from that of yesterday when 30 craters poured out their mol ten streams In some places the lava river is 100 feet deep.

PLASTERERS
 HURT IN FALL
 OF SCAFFOLD Three Drop in New Ashmun Building in Fairfield Avenue
 Before Noon Today.
TWO PAINFULLY INJURED
Mailman MueIer'S Victim. DOher
 ty, SuStainS Fracture of Right Limb.

In the collapse of scaffo1d in the interior of the new Ashmun building, : in Fairfield avenue west of Broad street, three plasterers fell IS feet this morning, two were injured, and several other workmen were inn perilled as the heavy lumber went crashing to the floor.
 The injured are Thomas P. Doher- ty, 36, married. of 65s Harral ave sprafned; and Charles Reihl, 37,
 married, of 102 Barnum avenue, right ankle sprained. Doherty is one of the three men shot by Gus Mueller, the maniac.
 John Nairn, another plasterer. fell with the scaffold, sliding down the intact towards the floor. He escaped with a shaking up.
 James J. Fitzpatrick, foreman, of 1851 Fairfield avenue, stepped from beneath the scaffo1d an instant be- fore the support gave way. Over loading the scaffold with clustering materials caused the accident.
 The scaffo1d was thrown up in the east end of the building, towards the rear, in a portion of the structure to be devoted to store purposes. The workmen had just begun to apply the first coat of plaster to the laths in the ceiling when the structure gave way.
 Doherty leaped as he felt the sup port going, hoping to escape being crushed between the Iurn Der. RelhI took his chances with the collapsing rigging, while Nairn slid down as gracefully as a youngster in roller coaster.
 The crash of falling timbers ac- coInpanidd by the clouds of dust roll ing into Fairfield avenue attracted a crowd. Among the first to rush into the building besides the workmen was Prof.Atlas, whose hostelry ad- joins the new structure. With ac- tivity reminiscent of his old days with the circus, when he used to lift horses by the pair, he lifted the piles of lumber from about the injured work men and helped them to the front of the building where they awaited the ambulance corps.
 pr. Krause took both Doherty and Reih1 to the emergei1cy hospital. They sent for a carriage and were aken to their homes after the am mbulance sur geon had applied temporary dressing
 Doherty made arrangements to jured member made at St. Vincent's hospital this afternoon. There is a fracture, of a bone of the foot, but the swelling had attained such ab- normal proportions when he reached the emergency hospital that Dr. Krause was not willing. to pass upon the fracture without a more thorough examination.
 The plastering is being done by the Gillette Construction Go. of New da- ven, for whom. the victims were we rk- ing. The building is owned by B l. Ashmun of TIT Clinton avenue. It will be used for a picture theatre, stores and a ball room.

SALE OF TROUT
 IS FORBIDDEN
Law Passed by the Last General
 Assembly Little Known.

The legislature of 1909 passed sev- eral laws that escaped general atten- ton at the time, and probably many oI those interested, such as market taurants, do not know what this year the sale or purchase of trout taken from Connecticut water is forbidden, except such as are sold from private The act is chapter 51 of the laws of 1909, and reads as follows:
 Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person to buy, sell, or offer for sale any brook trout taken from the waters of this state, except as pro- vided in section 3142 of the general statutes.
 Section 2. Every person who vio- Iates the provisions of section one of this act shall be punished by fine of not less than one dollar or more than fifty dollars, and the buying, selling, or offering for sale of each fish shall be deemed separate of fense.
 The section of the revised statutes to which reference is made provides that trout matched in the house or grown in the private waters of the owner may be taken at any time for the purpose of stocking other waters, and may be taken. by said owner and sold for food between February first and October drst.' But it also pro- vides that such owner must obtain a license tcost five do1lars) and requires that in selling the fish he shall affix to the can or package a certificate signed by one of the fish and game commission stating that such trout fare the product of duly licensed owner.''
 the 1909 law that it's restrictions do not apply to trout brought here from other states, but it is clear and en- phatic as to native fish, with the one exception of those from private wa ters, the owners of which have oh tained a license.
