PULP WOOD IN ALASKA.
Transportation Facilities Only Needed
to Open Up Enormous Forests.

to Open Up Enormous Forests.
Another valuable item has been add
ed to Alaska's growing list of undevel-
oped resources. Recent expert exami-
nation of the timber In the Sushitna
basin has confirmed the belief that 1t
is pulp wood Of high quality. The
timber is poplar. cottonwood and
spruce, but little of which is of COM
mercial value for lumber The land on
which this growth stands includes the
100000 or more acres estimated as
grazing and farming land and on
which homesteading recently began.
This area, distributed among the vari-
Gus valleys of the basin, is for the
most part covered with a luxuriant
growth of wild redtop grass, with little
underbrush and only a moderate stand
Of timber. 1t is obvious that with
reasonably convenient market for pulp
wood and water transportation, Of
which there is much, the cost of clear
ing these lands might be greatly re-
duced il not made profit by the sale
Of the timber as byproduct.
On henal peninsula, along the line OF
the seventy mile Alaska Central rail
road. alone there are many thousands
of acres of available pulp wood, and
this will be increased with almost
every mile Of the roads extension to-
ward the Matanuska coal fields. The
value of this supply Of pulp wood In
American territory and the practicable
ity of utilizing it was first pointed out
by Levi Chubbuck of the department
Of agriculture, who visited the region
last summer. Still more recently Sena
tor George J. Baird Of Canada went In
to the Matanuska coal fields and WIS
greatly impressed by the vast area #
pulp woods as well as the splendid
grazing lar they stood on. He pre-
diets the rapid settlement of this re-
gion by farmers and cattlemen.

IL
r. Wellington Ruclxstuhl, the New
York sculptor who was chief 81
sculpture at the Worlds Fair at st.
Louis, has announced the starting OF
a movement to erect great national
peace monument on the Hudson at a
cost Of about $1,000 900. It will not
only be larger than the Eiffel Tower,
I'm Paris. but will be the largest mon
ument In the world, about 1900 feet
high.
The design has just been finished,
and Is herewith reproduced. At the
National Arts Club Mr.. Ruckstuhl
disclosed his plans. He said that
competent engineers had passed fay
orably upon the Feasibility of the
plan, and that it was believed in real
estate circles that the syndicate
formed would have no dificulty in
getting the $5,0OO,O00 required with
in a reasonable time.
Mr.. Ruckstuhl said 1t was proposed
to erect this huge monument in the
shape of magnificent column, to
serve not only as monument to al
ready recorded accomplishments in
the cause of peace, but also to estab-
lish further the propaganda and ITO
help along the worlds desire for uni
.versal peace"
THE project said Mr.. Ruckstuhl,

between here and Ossining and build
a platform about ESQ feet square.

well known and influential New York-

ness men who will build this monu-
,ment as a business investment.
Revenue will be derived from the
renting of the restaurant, cafe, con-
cert hall, vaudeville show and other
concessions on the ground xbeneath
the big platform.
"The Eiffel Tower, it is well known,
has paid for itself since its erection,
about twenty years ago. and has had
as revenue producers only the eleva-
tor service, restaurant and a small
theatre. AS the money spending pow
er of the 100000 people who live
within radius of five miles from the
centre of the city of New York is
greater than that of any other such
population, the projectors of this
monument believe that it will pay for
itself sooner than did the Eiffel Tow
er, which cost about $3,5OO,OOO. L

encouragement to make it worth
while to undertake this enterprise,
and 1t is believed in well informed
real estate circles that all the money
needed for it will be raised within a
reasonable time."-N Y. Tribune.

POULTRY NOTES.

1t pays anyone Who has fowls or
eggs to sell to keep thoroughbreds.
The chicks and eggs are more uniform
IN size and color, so they are more
attractive and salable.
Guard against rats. They will do
you more harm in single night than
you can make up for in a whole sea
son. They ave cunning and, once
started. hard to stop. Don't let them
become too numerous before you get
after them.
Inc best way to "cure" all kinds of
poultry diseases is to keep the house
clean. to feed good feed, and to give
daily opportunity for exercising.
Those are the cornerstones to success
with poultry.
Turkeys are great rangers and as
1t is part of their very nature they
should be given opportunity to take
good long range every pleasant day.
1t will keep them thrifty and con-
tented
Big. fat hens should not be given
as much corn as those that are in
thin flesh. Both classes are to be
found in the average flock, and this
is what prevents general feeding

The secret of success in the winter

Taking a Little Diapepsin.

Here Is a harmless preparation
which surely will digest anything you
eat and overcome a sour, gassy or out:
of-order stomach within five minutes.
If your meals don't fit comfortably,
or what you eat lies like a lump Of lead
in your stomach. or if you have heart
burn, that is a sign Of Indigestion.
Get from your Pharmacist a 50-cent
case Of Pape's Diapepsin and take
a dose just as 500 as you car. There
will be no SOU risings, no belching of
u%ndigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or
Intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and, besides, there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous doors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure
for out-of-order stomachs, because II
takes hold of your food and digests II
just the same as If your stomach
wasn't there.
Relief In five minutes from all stom
ach misery is waiting for you at any
