Deafness of Mr. Blobbs

MT. Blobbs dined the other evening with some friends. When the guests were seated the host bent his head and began speaking in subdued tone.
 "Eh, what's that?" demanded Blobbs, who sat beside him and who is rather deaf.
 The host smiled patiently and began again in londer voice.
 Speak little louder; l don't catch what you say," Blobbs persisted.
 \ low ripple of laughter went round the table. The host, his face crimson with em mbarrassment, raised his voice still higher. The poor old man did his best to bear, but failed.
 "Wbat did you say?" he demanded irascibly.
 The host cast him an angry glance. "Oamn it, Pm saying grace" he yelled.
Douglas Island news., 1911-01-25

The Seward Gateway, printed at the natural outlet of one of the great coal fields of Alaska, says: The Nelson bill looks good to us, because it gives us action on our resource, and it seems to be fair bill and one that will allow for the mining of the Alaska coal and at the same time protect the government and the coal bayiDg public. Delegate Wickersbam, the dispatches state, is opposing the bill, and that be opposes the opening of the Alaska coal fields on a leasing basis. If Wickersham op. poses the Nelson bill we want to know why. If he can show good reason, we'll and good; if not, the people of of Alaska. and pecially of this part of Alaska, demand that he remove himself to the rear and be seated, and not in- terfere with the work of those who can and will do something for us.
Douglas Island news., 1911-01-25

The shipments 10 Douglas increased from S3lO,9OS in 1909 to S362, ,29O in 1910 This is a sure indication of good healthy growth. In the case of several of the other towns the figures iucl0de large amounts of mining machinery or cannery supplies, but such items do not enter into the Douglas total. When you take Douglas and Treadwell to- gether you will find that almost one third oj all the domestic merchandise shipped to Southeastern Alaska comes to these two points on Douglas Islaud; more than any other place in Alaska, except CNrdoya.
 When the towns on Gastineau chan. neI are considered together, we find that almost oae-half of all the meT- ehandise shipped to oSoutheastern Alas ka comes hege. An encouraging feature IS that each of the three places show sn increase over previous years.
 Skagway js the only town in this division showing down hill tendency, and Petersburg shows the largest per eentage of gain-
 The shipments of gold and silrer 30 she United States also show falling oE from 19O9 the total being Sl5, ,195,- 954, divided as follows:

 Here is goand confirmation of the statement shat Southeastern Alaska Is baking its gightSul place as producer of gold, as it will clin5to the forefront in the near fatRrs.
 The copper industry of Alaska is still at low ebb, the shipments for the year of copper ore and matte amount ing to only S23O,73z.
 The shipments of fish-dried smoked, cured, canned and fresh, guano, fish and whale oil [not whalebonel amount to S11, 1,5s5, ,4S5.
 The shipments of gypsSn increased from s114,565 in 1909 to Sl51,5 in 1910. Marble fell from s4S989 in 19O9 to S1z,- Ls6 in 1910.
 Unless the death rate was something terrible the population of Alaska must have increased considerably during the year, for the report shows that the ar rivals exceeded the departures by 5,5O6

A Home Recipe For
 Wrinkled, Saggy Skin
{ From Beauty and Health)

The famous saXolite lotion which is recommended by beauty specialists for the removal of wrinkles and for re- ducing distended pores, can be made at home. Ask your druggist for saXo- lite in powdered form, 1 oz., and 1a pint witch hazel. Dissolve the powder in the witch hazel and bathe the face, neck and hands in the solution. Re suits are remarkable, and instantan- eous. The skin tightens. and this naturally reduces the wrinkles, as well ss creases or folds about the neck cheeks or hands. The tissue and muscle beneath the skin also become firmer and more solid.
 One feels much refreshed and ex- hilarated after using this truly won derful preparation. It's continued use for only short time will make one look five or ten years younger.
