FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
TROPICAL HURRICANES
Storms Will Be Unusually Severe on
the Continent and Not Far From
Sept II in the Caribbean Sea. the
Gulf of Mexico or Near the South
Atlantic Coast.

Washington, D. c., Sept. Io.-Las
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbanc
to cross the continent 9 to I3, warn
wave to II, col wave II to IS. hi:
disturbance will bring the last lingering
caline of the hot part of September anc
will clear the way for cooler and better
weather, or more agreeable than thu
many hot blasts we passed through
since the middle of June.
Next disturbance (Which is the fortf
one) of September will reach the Paci.
fic coast about 10, cross Pacific slope
| by close of Ia, great central valleys L
| to II, eastern sections I8. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about 13, great
central valleys IS, eastern sections II
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope about
10, great central valleys IS, eastern sec
tions 20.
This will be the important disturbance
of September. 1t comes at critical time
for very late crops and may largely
change the prospective products. of corn
and wheat. 1t will not be SO important
for cotton.
The cool wave following this disturb
ance wilt cause frosts in the northern
parts of the corn belt and the Spring
wheat sections. If one forth of the corn
and spring wheat crops are a month late,
as claimed, these frosts will be a serious
matter and very considerable part of
these crops will turn out like the late
northern crop of last year.
Rainfall will not be excessive during
the week centering on 10 and tempera-
lures will average much below normal.
Storms will be rather mild west of mer-
idlan 90 but as the disturbance -nears
the Atlantic sections all weather fea-.
lures vii gain force. When the dam
age from these frosts is known it will
be possible to estimate the real value of
1910 borthern crops. Cotton crop will
be benefited by rains just preceding the
passage of this disturbance
Another disturbance will rach the Pa
cific coast about I8, cross Pacific slope
by close of 10, great central valleys 20
to p, eastern sections %. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about is, great
central valleys 20, eastern sections ~.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope about
81, great central valleys 20, eastern sec
ton rs.
This disturbance will be preceded by
very, coll weather and northern frosts|
and be followed by another very similar
cool wave and northern frosts. The
week centering OH September Fl will
average unusually cool and rains will be
general.
Storms will be unusually severe on the
continent with probability Of tropical
hurricanes along our southern and near
our eastern coasts. Probabilities are that
a tropical storm will be at its greatest
in the Caribbean Sea, the
Gulf of Mexico, or near our south At
lantic coast not far from September II.
Not because of the equinoctial but
because of the peculiar relations of the
moon, Saturn and the sun

The Haines Pioneer Press says: The Shortridges, we'll known Indians, who are natives of this place but who have been in the east finishing off a splendid education, are prospering in the stage world, according to news that has but recently been received. Both MT. and Mrs. Louis Shortridge were we'll educated before going east and had made for themselves quite pSace in musical circles, but they have {ai,s that they would like to have the advantages of eastern colleges of music, so they went to Chicago, where they at once leaped into prominence. They have al- ready been secured by producers of musical plays. Charles Cutter, an other native of Juneau, and Miss May Johnstone are joined with them ill a production which is taking the east by storm. In another few weeks they will be playing in New York, where they go upon leaving Chicago.

There may be few persons in New York City unfamiliar with what band of North Pacific coast Indians looked like one hundred years ago when about to enjoy the ceremony of the potlatch. A circumscribed number there may also be who do not know what the cere- mony of the potlatch would resem ble at any time. It is still being performed, but the physique, garb and action of the tribes that now slumber, but whose chief pride century ago was to be present in the latest fashions, as to paint and birds down, at the potlatch festivities, may be seen in the Ameri- can Museum of National History. The 64%-foot ceremonial Haida canoe in the north hall is being rapidly loaded with ChilBat Indians. There are already ten of these figures in place and there will be forty in all. The conception is that of the director, Herman c. Bumpus. The supervision of scientific details is under Lieut.. George T. Emmons and the technical work is being carried out by Siguard Neandross, the sculptor. The potlatch is still considerable of a social function among the Indians along the North Pacific coast, from the Strait of Fuca to the vicinity of Mount St. Elias. Some of the old-time glories have vanished. In other days the Thlingets had many slaves, who pad dled the war canoes to the scene of the potlatch, but were not permitted to take part in the ceremonies because they were sacrificed just about the hour when things were becoming en. joyable to others. Figures represent ing these unfortunate slaves, as we'll as one to show how the "heap big chief' could and did scowI from the stern of the canoe are now on exhibition. The canoe is supposed to have reached the surf of the beach, being kept in position there by the paddlers holding water, while the ceremonial speeches and dances were going on.-New York Times.

Fairbanks, Dec. 15.-Fire which broke out here early today resulted in the de- struction of nine buildings, entailing loss estimated to be in excess of Sl2O,- GOO. The fire for time threatened to destroy the entire city. The thermo- meter played around 90 degrees below zero, and the sufferings of the fire fighters were pitiful. Several firemen were removed to the hospital, where they will have to undergo operations for the removal of fiji gers and toes. The water which was used in lighting the flames was furnished from the water system of the Northern Conner cial Company, which is kept open dur ing winter by steam pipes which paral Tel the water mains, keeping the water in the conduits in free motion. Prac- tically every person in the city, num- bering over 2,000, turned out to fight the flames and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods were piled on the ice which covers the Tanana river. So far as is known, no lives were lostv although all the occupants of the Gen. tral hotel, one of the principal hotels in the city, have not been accounted for. The hotel register is lost and it is not known whether all the lodgers escaped. The cause of the fire has not been as- certaiued.

Judge Cornelius D. Murane, of the district court for the second judicial division, has given practical object lesson on the evils of the carpet-bag system, which has prevailed in Alaska almost continuously since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Himself a seasoned Alaskan, Judge Murane has noted the iniquities of the system. Wherefore, upon taking his seat as judge of the court at Nome, he immediately filled the places of the carpet bag contingent by appointing Alaskans of many years residence to the vacant positions, while the carpet baggers suddenly separated from Uncle Sam's payroll departed, and silently, to the places from whence they came. Judge Murane has done we'll. He has recognized the right of Alaskans to fill the federal offices in Alaska, and the very act should have it's effect upon the federal sppointive power. Not all the carpetbag fraternity, however, have been disgrace to themselves and their creators. Some of them have made good" and have become real Alaskans and have been towers of strength to the territory. But they have been mighty few.-Iditarod Nugget.

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation Of food. distress
after eating and Indigestion. and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial d.
gesters, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
OF morphine is d~eadening and injuring
beyond repair every nerve in his body.
What the stomach Of every sufferer
from Indigestion : is is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elasticity
into 1t. and make it sturdy enough to
digest q hearty meal without artificial
aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by E. r. Petty, and is
rigidly guaranteed to build up the
stomach and cure indigestion, or
money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na.
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes for only so cents. Remem-
Der the name, Mi-o-na stomach tab
let's. They never fail. They contain
ingredients that give quick relief
(other than strong digesters), but they
are compounded for the purposes Of
making the stomach strong and ener-
getic enough to do it's work without
tho aid OF harmful drugs.

RIVER SPAN WOULD
CONNECT THREE STATES.
Commission Recommends Bridge
at 10th Street, New York,

ALBANY. Feb, Recommendations
for the building OF a bridge over the
Hudson River at 10Th street to a point
opposite on the New Jersey shore is
made by the Interstate Bridge Commits
sion in a report submitted to the Legis-
lature. A similar report will be made
to the New Jersey Legislature.
Accompanying the report is a bill
embodying the ideas of the commas
sioners and appropriating $751; 0 for
borings and engineering work prelimiu-
airy to the construction of the bridge.
The commission points out that the
proposed new bridge would open up a
direct route from Manhattan through
New Jersey and Connecticut, making
it possible to connect directly the troll
ley systems of New York with the sys-
TENS of the two States named. The
New Jersey end will be at the limit OF
the Palisade Park. in Bergen County
The commission feels that whatever
opposition the New Jersey authorities
have had TO this particular location for
the new bridge, it will be obyiated
when they understand the mutual ben
Gifts to be derived. Hudson County
was eager to have the bridge located
at Sixty-seventh street, but this site Is
deemed impracticable.
when such connections are fully
developed the bridge will carry a grear
and growing interstate traffic says the
commission, and il also points out that
"the great highway and park system
planned to extend from Fort Lee, N. j..
TO Newburgh, y. Y, can best be made
availabl, to the immediate population
of the metropolitan district by a cross
inS OF the river at 10th street"
