The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease. requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in the curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

Spray the Fruit

The time is at hand when the person
who is growing fruit trees, should give
them attention. All such trees should
be sprayed before the buds open, for
the control of the San Jose scale,
which has been disseminated throughout
this vicinity. 1t is urged that everyone
make arrangements, either through
their public sprayer, or by securing a
pump for themselves, to properly apply
the lime sulphur wash for the control Of
the pest. There are number of brands
OF concentrated lime sulphur on the mar
ket. all of the standard ones being sat
isfactory, and they should be used at
the rate of one part solution to nine
parts of water. Be sure to see to it that
the work is done thoroughly, especially
the terminal twigs of the trees.
The State Horticultural law, requires
that all such cases of infestation by the
San Jose scale should be properly treat
ed or destroyed. The officers of the
State Horticultural Department will not
hesitate to apply the law in cases of
dire neglect on the part of the owners
of proper treatment of the trees, when
such conditions are known. 1t is not the
desire of the department, however, to
enforce the law except in dire neglect
full cases, but to aid the growers in the
trees as well as the production of the
best quality of fruit.
A second spraying on all apple trees
should bemade of lime sulphur diluted at
a rate of one to forty, to which is added
arsenate of lead, at the rate of two
pounds to fifty gallons. This treatment
should be applied just as the blossoms
are falling. in order to prevent injury
from the coddling moth.

to the writer of the letter. Bird answered
the letter and met the young lady who
was instructed by the Government de-
tectives to meet him. He was immedi-

BEATS THE TAKU

The gentle zephyrs blow some at Bal boa, if one may correctly interpret an epistle from the genial J. c. Holman, game warden for the Alaska peninsu- la, to c. c. Shea, received on the steam CT Dora, says the Seward Gateway. When J. c. and his son arrived on the scene, they found that the major DOT tion of the shingles on a shack which was to be their domicile, in lieu of any any other abode in that vicinity, had been scattered about on the beach, torn from their setting by gale of a few days previous. A former subject of Sweden happened along in dory. Now, boat was just what J. c. wanted, in order to get about over his domain. He opened negotiations and agreed to purchase the craft. The Swede de parted in peace, leaving the dory on the beach. One morning, several days later, J. Cf found fragments of what had formed the boat lying along the shore half mile away. A breeze had occurred during the night.
 J. c. Cook took with from Seward a sledge of which he was justly proud. One evil night the wind playfully picked up this snow vehicle, dashed it against the house, broke the handles and other parts, and set the remainder down thousand feet distant. Now J. c. is industriously engaged in building a low sod house in which to store his sled-if he can patch it together. He says he is building low house so the wind can t see it.
 In the course of an official letter J. c. pauses at intervals to discuss the wind As matter of fact he grows enthusiastic and emphatic when he di- verges from matters pertaining to game, to write a few thoughts, as they come to him, about breezes in general and those at Balboa Bay in particular. If J. c. would consult the Good Book he would find somewhere, in speaking of the wind, it says, that "no man knows from whence it cometh, or whither it goeth'' But J. c. is con vinced that he has learned where 1t bloweth.

INDIAN IS WHITE

Jim Jake, Thlinget Indian more fa- miliarly known as "Pinto" Jake, by reason of his white man 8 complexion, is a patient at the government hospi- tai. Jake is a sufferer with a skin dis ease that in similar case last sum- mer puzzled Western Alaska physici- ans and was first diagnosed as leprosy. The finding of several Western Alaska physicians in the "leprosy" case caus- ed no end of excitement in medical circles and straightway pr. Foster, an attache of the Board of Health, was sent North to make an investigation. The patient who was supposed to have the dreaded scourge was as healthy a specimen of the aborigine as you could find, with the exception of his facial pe- culiarity, and after brief examina tion the "leper' was discharged from an isolation of several days.
 ''Pinto'' may live to be white man, fguratively speaking. His face is now nearly the shade of white man who has been tanned slightly. He takes great pride in his distinction. But he objects to the name of Pinto. Y.

A LIMIT ON GRUBsTAKING

A LIMIT ON GRUBSTAKING
 Should we abolish the power of at- torney to locate claimsg The privi- lege of stalking for another by power of attorney has been grossly abused, until it has become matter for debate whether the privilege has not result ed in more harm than good. In the spring of last year the delegate from Alaska had bill in congress which purovided that no placer mining claim in Alaska should be located by an at torney or agent for another, but only by the locator in person. The delegate argued to the house committee that only by destroying the privilege could the abuse be cured. Goveronor Hog that it would be useless to abolish the power of attorney so long as one man had the right to stake as many claims as he chose. The stalker could simply transfer the claims to whenever he chose. But the delegate was strongly opposed to limiting the number of claims one man might stake.
 The debate hinges strongly on the system of grub-staking, which depends upon the power of attorney. There are hundreds of prospectors in the wilds of Alaska who are maintained in their ex plorations by persons in the towns of Alaska and on the Outside, and the prospectors in return locate ground for their grubstak CTS by power of attorney. Wipe out the power of attorney, and you shut off the flow of capital that makes a large amount of prospecting possible. Require each locator to stake his claims in person, and compara- lively few claims will be staked and fewer will be worked. The prospector will be hurt as much as the capitalist, because when his grub runs out he will have to spend a season working for wages to buy another grubstake. To abolish the power of attorney would be to put a check upon the entire de velopment of the placer fields.
 Two years ago the Tanana Miners Association proposed a local mining regulation that no claim should be val i'd if made otherwise than in person or under written power of attorney and that no claim located under power of attorney should be a valid location un- less such power of attorney was record ed previously to the date of the .loca tion. The delegate has since abapdon- ed his abolition idea, and has adopt ed the idea of the Tanana miners. He has gone further. Following Governor Hoggatt's $ argument, in his new bill he proposes to permit prospector tos stake only two claims a month for himself and two for each of two persons be- sides himself This is something simi- lar to the law in the Yukon.
 But the delegate proposes in addi tion that no more than a total of two claims in all Alaska may be located for a grubstaker in one month. This means that in ease or stampede, a person with money may grubstake only one pros pector. It places limit upon grub stalking It is questionable whether in proposing this the delegate does. not put check upon kind of activity which is desirable and necessary.-Fair- banks Times.

CONDUCTED AT A LOSS

In a letter in answer to the demand of the Arctic Club of Seattle for a re- duction in the cable tolls, James Allen, chief signal officer of the army, says:
 s'Very little fault has been found by the people of Alaska with the rates now established. From time to time an CT roneous impression is circulated that the Alaska telegraph line is one which is producing a revenue to the govern ment. On the contrary, it was con structed by the government at large expense and the yearly maintenance is much in excess of the receipts. The ap- propriations made by congress for this system have been generously large and any reduction in rates is simply to ask congress to appropriate additional mon ey to make up what is, as stated above, a considerable deficit. Compared with the charges of other lines, it is not be- lieved the rates are excessive or that under the circumstances connected with the maintenance and extension and the betterments of this line that any re- duction should be made at present in the to1l.''
