DAVENPORT

Road Accepts Defeat.-After almost
a years controversy, in which the coal
consumers of the territory north Of
Davenport were made to suffer, the
Milwaukee road has accepted the rul-
ing OF the court and instructed the
local Office to accept foreign carloads
of coal for reconsignment in Daven-
port. The case has been before the
railroad commission, district and SUI
preme courts of Iowa in turns and the
dispute has covered space of more
than 10 months. Hereafter coal will
be accepted In Davenport for shipment
to points on the Burlington and Rock
Island or any other railroad on two
local rates, instead of an interstate
rate and one shipment. The victory
is considered by the retailers and con-
sumers as important, as it was con-
tended that it involved an interstate
matter which the courts of Iowa were
not justified In deciding upon.

character. 1t is in the extensive valleys and
on the adjacent slopes of the Yukon, Tanana
and Kuskokwim rivers and their tributaries
that the interior forests reach their best deyel-
opment
The Rocky mountain region is a compare
lively narrow eongation of the Rocky noun
tain system of North America, and stretches
across northern Alaska nearly from east to
west The mountains of this region reach
considerable though in no case a noteworthy
height. On their southern slope head many
streams which empty into the Yukon; those
on the northern slope empty into the Arctic
ocean.
The Arctic slope region. lying north Of the
Rocky mountain region, IS composed Of roll
ing tundras, in which truly Arctic conditions
prevail 1t has been less explored than any
other portion of Alaska.
In many places in the interior the post

and upon them whatever future agriculture
there may be in Alaska will chiefly be devel-
oped
The climate of the southern and southeast
ern coast region OF Alaska is mild and wet.
The annual precipitation at Juneau and Sitka
is from so to 80 inches. At these points the
precipitation is chiefly in the form of rain, and
only during a short time In the middle of the
summer are there likely to be days when rain
does not fall. In the mountains Immediately
above tide water however, the snowfall is
very great. This increases to the no1thward,
and at Valdez a winters snowfall Of nearly
sixty feet has been recorded. The lowest tenn
perature on record at Sitka is degrees F.
below zero. and the highest 81 degrees At
Juneau the lowest record is 10 degrees below
zero, and the highest So degrees. The Sitka
temperature is but little cooler than that Of
the northern part Of Puget sound or Of Scot
land.
Sharply contrasted with the climate of
southeastern and southern Alaska is that Of
the central plateau regions Of the interior.
The Pacific mountain system cuts off the
warm, mosture-laden winds that the
interior has a semlarid continental climate
subject to sudden changes and great extremes

are available indicate annual precipitation

F. below zero has been registered in winter,
and in the summer as high as 80 degrees. The
summers are short and comparatively hot;
the winters long and intensely cold
Despite the low temperatures and long win
tiers of the Yukon valley, there is ordinarily
a good growing of at least three
months. During much Of this time daylight is
almost continual, and growth is rapid This
compensates in a marked degree for the short
ness of the season; and since the evaporation
is not great the vegetation IS by no means Of
an arid character, Notwithstanding the small
precipitation. The frozen subsoil is practically
impervious to water which accumulates in
poorly drained and causes the many
swalnps and "muskegs."

How IL Was Named,

Nottingham lace was 50 called b.
cause it originally was made by the
semi-sayage people who lived in the
caves in the district now known as
Nottingham, in England. By keeping
the work between them and the dark
mouth Of the cave the women could
work the pattern easily. Nottingham,
or any other lace, even the finest and
filmiest, can be washed safely and
quickly with Easy Task soap, which
is a natural, scientific cleanser and
leaves the lace in the best condition.
Easy Task costs but five cents cake

chikan showed 235 rings The diane
ter of this stump outside the bark was

stump in the same locality had 230
rings. This tree had been 125 feet
high. Near Wrangell three Sitka
spruce logs averaged 80 inches in d.
with 262 annual rings. Two examples
of extreme age in Sitka spruce were
noted in Portage bay between Peters

Logging in southeastern Alaska
employs the crudest of methods. 1t
is now carried on entirely by hand,
though logging machinery was used
in a few earlier operations. Only the
best spruce trees at the edge Of tide
water are cut The logs are frequent
ly made the entire length of the tree,
and are lacked up and rolled into the
water where they are tied into RATS
and towed to the sawmilI by tugs.
The annual lumber cut in the coast
forests Of Alaska is about 100000
board feet This consists almost en-
tirely of spruce. since hemlock is but
little used. There are about 25 saw
mills on the coast at Cordova, Doug:
las. Juneau, Katalla, Ketchikan, Pc
tersburg. Seward Sitka, Valdez Wran-
CELL, and other points, most Of them
rather crude in character and of small
capacity. A large proportion Of the
output, probably more than one-third,
is used for salmon cases, and much Of
the best lumber goes into them.
The southern and southeastern
coast Of Alaska has a much greater
timber supply than there is any rea-
son to think will be needed locally
for a long time to come. The perma-
nent industries Of the region are fish
