RUSH TO TWO NEW
ALASKA GOLD CAMPS.
Hundreds of prospectors Outfirtiry
To Join stampede. TO Knskok.
vim and hitina.

Seattle, March T. The hundreds
Of Northbound prospectors now gath
ering here for the annual spring mi
grafton to Alaska, are nearly all
bound for one OF two districts, to
each of which there is promise of a
considerable rush. In fact, despite
It's troubles, Alaska is this year ex-
pected to have the largest increase
IN population since the great Nome
rush.
The two districts are interesting
Iy contrasted. The great valley of
the kuskokwim, toward the head
waters, Of which 1000 to 1000 men
will be hiking soon, is almost VIRGIN
territory. In the winter of 19U9-lC
there We're about 125 men in the co.
600 Or more square miles Last sum-
mer three important gold strikes
were made there by prospectors who
overlooked from Idatarod, and a
thousand men have just wintered
there. But even with this there is
SILL a vast area still unvisited by
white men. Notably along the head
waters OF its many tributaries, along
TIE foothills Of tho Alaskan range
MI ch of the upper kuskolswim val
ley is known to be gold bearing, and
as it is we'll wooded and watered It
has long in vited the prospector. Its
chief drawback till now has been it's
isolation, and this has been overcome
by the governments winter trail
from Seward across the Alaskan
range and on to the Iditarod. The
distance into the Kuskokwim valley
this way is only about 200 miles,
and great many will go in this way
before the ice goes out of the rivers.
Others will wait till the opening
OF Behring sea navigation in the
Spring, as a regular boat service
from here up the river is promised.
The Kuskokwim is Manageable far up.
and light draft boats can this way
get whiting 80 miles of the Idittarod
route to that camp that many re-
turning miners will take. The chief
activity SO far has been on the Tako-
tina, and on the Georgetown creek,
both tributaries, and regular gold
production will begin this spring.
The Chitina valley, the other con-
spicuous new district, is already
known as a copper lode district, it
being the home of the Morgan-Gug-
genheim' Bonanza, but recent reports
of placer gold strikes and good I'M
prospected territory are attracting
many. This region has been difficult
of access until now, but the Copper
4 Northwestern railway, has this
winter been driven sixty miles into
its heart, so that much virtually new
ground is now within six days of Sc
attic. The chief activities in this
section will be lode mining and pros.
pecting.
Much machinery is already on the
way for the development of estab.
lished properties located by the hand

FOR ADVERTISING
SOUTH DAKOTA
BILL PROVIDING FOR PUBLICITY
i CAMPAIGN FOR STATE TO BE
SUBMITTED TO VOTE
ARGUMENTS IN ITS FAVOR
Contention that Bill if Effective Pro-
vides for Expenditure of Only
Fraction of 1 Cent Per Acre.

Pierre, March S.-Sonth Dakota is
In line with other northwestern
states to begin an advertising cam
paign for the development of the
state-with a possible 'if'' attached
This possibility is the intent of the
members who were opposing any
such action, to carry the matter 10
the referendum. After they get
away from the excitement of the o.
casion they may change their minds
In regard to such action, or they may
not. Their plea was that the state
could not stand such expense and
they would carry the question up to
the people to save it. The appropri-
alton for that department as finally
left, carried $17,500 for two years.
an amount SO small when compared
with what other northwestern states
are doing in that direction that it
will no doubt create smile when
looked at from other states, bat that
was all which could be secured. and
1t will make a start. AS to the ex-
pense, under the new system Of sub
hitting referred laws to the voters,
1t will cost from three to five cents
to each voter to submit any PROPOSE
ton, and submission of this law will
meet such cost. The appropriation
only carries one-half cents for IT,
first year, and two and one-half
cents for the second year, and to
carry out the provisions of the law
would be cheaper to the people of
the state than would the submission
On question Of state valuation, the
amount appropriated for this purpose
ts one hundredth of one per cent of
the assessed valuation, or one cent
for each one hundred dollars of tax
es paid, which will be used to boost
the state and it's resources. And
yet there is another feature. The
amount asked is about one-tenth of
one cent an acre on the state lands.
Al Wy uSluS Iudl dIuOuLL Ill duN0IllS-
ing, the value of such lands could be
raised only enc cent an acre, the
state would be far ahead and the in
crease would no doubt run into dol
lars instead of cents. One opponent
said it might be all right for the real
estate men to advertise because Of
the money they made out of it," but
he did not believe in the state paying
for the advertising. If real estate
men with a very small area of lana
20 handle can make money by adver-
Using, why not the state with it's
millions of acres? These are a few
points which the people of the state
should consider when petitions are
being presented to them, if they ever
get around. The economy would be
to decline to sign, as the state will
be ahead even if the advertising
would not bring cent of increase,
but the gain in that line will be
thousands, and such economy would
be the most costly the state could
indulge in.

SOME DAY.


ne wants second stick of pepper
mint candy or asks in his own dear
little way to be taken for a walk in
the rain; when he is sore tempted by
the sight of pie or some lordly pud-
ding of which he is too liddy boy
TO partake-in short whenever he
asks for what must be refused him,
ne looks up at me with sort of half
smile and pipes cheerily-
'Someday?"
And answer, eyes, someday," and
ne runs along to his play or maybe
stops to bless me with a big hug,
Just as if had given him what he
asked for and that is all.
No. that is not all.
AS the music of his voice echoes
In my heart. 1 seem to see from
many sides a chorus of askings.
1t is this chorus of age-old askings
the voicing of the wants as varied as
the colors of field flowers in summer.
So many of the requests are like
his, for things we do not really need !;
things we would be better without,
however much we want them at the
moment; things we 90 not miss after
an hour or day or a year!
Someone, somewhere tells us we
cannot have them. Whereat we
whine or pout or stamp our feet;
whereat we sometimes get fighting
mad and talk rashly about never
having what We want, anyhow, OF

made for himself.
Would it not be a great thing fol

boy. the refusal came from one with
in whose power it lay to someday

Do you think he is the only one
who will remember these things
that are being saved for "Someday?'
| But it is not this that makes his
"Someday?" talisman that will
work wonders for him as he fare:

1t is the spirit behind the ques

influence of Senator Chiffon.


Congressman Brown was called upon
last week to preside over Congress, act
ing as temporary Speaker OF the House
during a temporary absence from the
House of Speaker Champ Clark. Mr..
Brown had no exciting incident while he
was in the chair. but he was there ready
to rule had ruling been necessary, and
the House proceeded under his occupancy
OF the chair with as much decorum and in
as orderly a way as it ever proceeds. 1t
is considered quite an honor TO be asked
to preside over the deliberations of Con-
gress, and Mr.. Brown felt highly COM
plimented when asked to take the chair.
Former Senator Montgomery, who was
summoned to Washington to see the
President, was the guest OF Congressman
Brown at his apartment at Congress Hall
hotel. Senator Montgomery appreciated
this attention from a Democratic member
OF Congress very much, especially as he
was summoned here on important politl-
cal business by the President himself.

In recent symphonious collection Of
utterances of friends of President Taft,
we note this gem from Postmaster Hen
shaw, of Martinsburg:
"Our people believe in protection"
Postmaster Henshaw most certainly hit
the nail on the head in this profound re-
mark. The people do very evidently
want neutrality-suspicious. from the ra-
pacious trusts that are absorbing their
very life through outrageous exactions in
the price Of almost every article of house
hold or personal use; protection from the
injuStices OF courts and commissions
that are ever ready to erect obstacles 10
prevent the people from enjoying legisla-
tive enactments; protection from the mosl
absolutely outrageous tariff law that any
country has ever known. Indeed, the
people do want protection, and we have
an idea that they mean TO get IT by elect
ing Democratic President next year and
providing for Democratic Senate.
In this same connection, our incondeS-
cent friend, Charles p. Light, declares
that he has just returned from an extend
ed trip through the South and West, and
finds that the sentiment for President
TAFT is growing stronger every day. This
is an indication that Mr.. Light always has
high-power microscope with him when
he travels, for he has seen that which no
one else has observed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, nearing will be destroy

Vaccination for Typhoid.

Various investigations have for years
been trying TO perfect vaccine for the
prevention Of typhoid fever. The medl-
cal corps of the U. S. Army have been
working on the subject for years. The
results are now made public and are OF
the most astounding nature. Typhoid
fever is absolutely preventable and its
existence is unnecessary even in the
most unsanifary surroundings. AT 4 BAN
quet given by the Medical Club OF Phlla-
delphia, at the Bellevue Stratford recent
ly, President Taft was present among a
number OF distinguished guests. In his
addresses the President gave the most
recent statistics and compared them with
the conditions in the SpaniSh-American
War. Among other things he said that
in the Spanish War 90 per cent OF all the
volunteers were infected with typhoid
fever within eight weeks of going into
camp. Among 10000 men there were
$4,000 cases OF typhoid fever with l4OO
deaths. Now the whole enlisted force,
practically, have received preventive vac
cination for typhoid fever. AT the time
President Taft spoke there had been for
eight weeks along the Mexican border
$4,000 troops under the same sanitary
conditions as were the men in the Span
ish-American War. Sleeping in tents,
drenched by rains and wading through
profanity producing mud" and yet the
health of the men was really better than
it had been at the posts from which they
had been modified and there was not a
case of typhoid fever in all the army ex-
cept one teamSter who had not been vac
cinated.
President Taft says that as this has
been accomplished by the medical corps
of the army and is such striking con-
traSt to conditions thirteen years ago,
1--WE may take pardonable pride in the
record"
