TONS AND TONS

The Cordova mail route to the in- terlor has been blocked for several weeks, according to passengers arriv- ing on the Mariposa yesterday. A. T. Raynor and Harry Badger, who were 26 days coming out report that no mail is going into the country nor coming out farther than Chitina. There are tons and tons of mail both at Chtina, destined to the States, and at Cordova, enroute to the interior, that can't be moved because trains are not moving.
 When they left Cordova the Copper River & Northwestern train was re ported stalled sixty miles out. All travel is now by way of Valdez.
 Mir. o. Roberts, of Valdez, stated to The Empire, that there was re port current, as they were leaving to the effect that the postal authori ties had issued orders routing the mail by way of Valdez

OLD-TIMER TALKS
 OF WESTWARD

The Hon. Robert D. Gray, represen- tatiye-elect from Katalla, of the Third Judicial Division, to Alaska's first leg islature, arrived in Juneau on the M kon last night. MT. Gray is enroute to Seattle but found it necessary to stop over iu Juneau. Sixteen years ago MT. Gray lived in Juneau and will will be remembered by all the old timers. He was connected with the firm of Coulter & James, which was at that time a prominent business house of Alaska. MT. Gray takes a lively interest in Juneau affairs and is we'll pleased to know that at least the town is on the eve of realizing all and more than it had hoped to have for many years. Those who had re- mained here through all the dark days must get a great deal of satisfaction from the changed conditions.
 Speaking of the future of the Katal' Ia section, MT. Gray said: Everybody in our section is cheerful and hope full. We have the natural resources, coal and oil, and it will be developed and used. That the new administra' tion will deal justly with Alaska, is the belief of everyone. The people who are entitled to coal claims will get them and every fair minded per son should be satisfied with that-but of course the distress occasioned by the lack of action on the part of the government will never be recon pensed. After the sweeping order reserving all of the coal lands it be- came impossible to get money to carry on our oil developments and of course. Katalla started backward Some of us held on and we have been doing the best We could under the ad verse circumstances. With the cleo tion of MT. Wilson to the presidency things took a more hopeful tone Since election day some money has been found available for development work in oil lands and plans are now under way for still greater activity.
 Some day the Boring river coal will be hauled down to Controller bay for shipment. It is not possible to say off-hand what group of capital ists will build the road, but the road will be built-it is the only logical thing to do. When the coal mined by the government for experimental pur poses has test, something will be started. have never been strong believer of government ownership oi industries but I am getting to think it a good plan to have government built railroads in Alaska or at least to have railroad building encouraged and rates regulated by the govern ment. We should have several traf tic arteries leading back to the great valleys of the interior and then oul country would fill up with homeseek CTS and reach high state of develop ment."
 Mir. Gray says that although the or ganic act seems to place many re strictions on the powers of the new Legislature that he believes much goot can be accomplished if the members of the new branch of Territorial gov ernment attend strictly to the busi ness which calls them together ant resist the temptation to play at pol itics.

What So Precious
AS O. Healthy Baby?
Every Youngsfer Can Have Fine
Digestion If GiUen q Good
Baby Laxative.

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is a fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them TO become healthy. This can be
done by the use Of a l~aXative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tons. 1t can , bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced Of it's merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in rs
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of ii is required and it's frequent
use does not cause it to lose its eff
feet, as is the case with so many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, Indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches. ETC., among
them reliable people like Mrs. James
r. Rouse, of Marinette, Wis. Her lit
tie son Howard was fifteen months old

FOR ICE HOUSE
Building Should Be Located on
Easily Drained Ground.
Protection From Searching Rays of
Sun Is Also of lmportance-Saw-
dust Is Considered Best Mate
rial for Packing Walls.

The location Of the ice house is i'm
portant. 1t should be placed on ground
that is easily drained, and If possible
located beneath the shade of some
large tree that the beaming rays of
the u may not beat on it in the
hot summer time. Here is a good
plan for building an ice house which
has been used by a number of farmers;
Make an excavation three feet deep
and IL by IL feet. Wall this up
with brick or cement blocks, letting
the wall extend two feet above the
ground. Dig a trench and put in a
tile drain. Now put up the house,
using two by ten studding ten feet
long for the walls. Place the stud
ding two feet apart. Then board up
the building inside. and out. A cheap
grade of llmber may be used for in
side work A hollow space ten inches
wide will be left in the walls, and this
should be filed with sawdust. Straw
is not good for this purpose, and
should not be used. Either single
or felt roofing may be used for cover
ing, but n should be, certain to get
the roof high enough SO that he will
not strike his head when putting in
the ice. The door to ice house should
be two feat eight inches by six feet
eight inches or close to these dimen-
sion. Cleats should be nailed to the
inner and outer edges of the door fac
ing to hold ends of boards that may
be slipped in and sawdust tamped
down between them. Put coarse
cinders over the floor of ice house
and cover them with eight inches of
sawdust. Now the house is ready for
the ice. Cut the cakes of ice the
size to fit your ice box or refrigerator,

used, it is necessary to mark or num-
Der each ear, and a rack which will
aid in this work is in favor.
The rack shown here is one Of this
sort. Ears are held on the points of
wire nails driven through partitions
of inch boards. A double rack Of this
kind is made and supported at the
ends as shown in the illustration,
says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. Each
nail is numbered, and the tester box
can be numbered to correspond to the
units of the drying rack.
Free air circulation and perfect dry
ing can be had very certainly by the
use of such a rack, which requires but
little time and lumber in its construc-
ton. 1t insures accuracy and system
in the valuable work of testing.

and be certain to secure the purest
ice possible. At the ice house the
cakes can be Sided down a long
board into their places. 1 believe
it is best to set the ice up edgewise,
says a writer in the Iowa Homestead.
The cakes are easier to get out and
they retain their usual thickness. Pack
the ice to within five inches of the
wall all around the building and pile
ten or twelve feet high. The ice
should be packed as solidly as pos
sible, therefore all cracks should be
filled with small chunks and particles
of ice. Put eight inches of sawdust
over top of the ice, packing it down
in the five-inch space all around the
house.

REvIVING DEAD SOIL SPOTS
Lack Of Plant Growth Sometimes At
tributed to Want of Wate-Ma-
nure Is Lacking Essential.

CBy III. p. FISHBURN. Assistant Chem
list, Idaho Experiment Station.)
On land devoid Of sufficient organic
matter or sand, there sometimes oc-
u spots that are apparently dead or
unresponsive to water and plant life
to any marked degree. Lack of plant
growth is sometimes attributed to
want Of water, and oftentimes such
may be the case. but the spots in
question are of a different nature from
the surrounding soil, usually very COM
pact and most impervious to water,
indicating a too large percentage of
clay.
Experiments have shown that these
spots can readily be brought to a high
state of fertility by the proper incor-
poration of manure Such a condition
could not easily be remedied If 1t were
a Gaze of alkali, which the
question several times asked, whether
or not this be a Ease of alkali.
