tween the steamship and rail- way companies for the rapidly growing trade of the far north especially that of Yukon and Alaska has begun in earnest. Negotiations are now going forward it is announced, be- tween the White Pass people and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway for the es- tablishment of a new line of steamers between Vancouver and Skagway as part of the di- rect service to Fairbanks, Alas ka, to be eventually replaced by a railway to consist of the ex- tension of the Milwaukee line from Seattle to Vancouver, linking up with the Pacific Great Western, now under con struction between Vancouver and Fort George, and extension of the latter north through British Columbia to connect with the White Pass line.
 Another Alaskan railroad ito open the natural resources Of the territory is proposed in the bill Chairman Huston, of the territories committee, reported favorbaly to the house. The road, to be built by the govern ment, would run from the southern coast, at Cordova or Seward 0: vicinity, to the upper Yukon river, and would not be more than 722 miles long. Chairman Huston in his report points pHt that such a road would vltallze the great valley of the Alaskan interior, con- taining an immense agrlcult- ular territory, and a line form the coast to Fairbanks will pro vide communication with the Panama and Yukon rivers, having hundreds of mics of navigable water, which steam boats already are traversing. The plan also contemplates two short branch lines to con meet with the Behring river and the Matanuska coal fields.

CODEIN and
DIABETES

Jambul. codein and Fulton's Diabctic
Compound are known to reduce sugar in
diabetes.
Why Jambui should reduce sugar In dia-
hetes is not clear but 1t Is not curative and

Why Codein. which is largely used. re-
duces sugar in diabetes Is known. The
opium in II locks up tile secrctions. includ-
Ing tho sugar. But It. too. is not n specific
and the patients do not recover.
Fultons Diabetic Compound, the only one
OF the three agents whose results have

The patients reporting recoyeries are
without n single exception far we
know Fulton's Diabetic Compound. We
never heard OF a case recovering under

In view OF these plain facts. how can there

In the meetings which opened here to-
day, ever since il became known that
the services of the evangelist had been
secured. One of the first things to be
undertaken by the ministerial union
was TO thoroughly overhaul and re-
pair tho Ridge Street Tabernacle. a
large wooden structure which was built
years ago for the Sam Jones revival
Ever since that time the building has
been rarely used and had fallen into
q bad state of repair 1t was found
necessary to renew and reconstruct
the foundations in order to make the
building safe. Electric lights have
been placed throughout the tabernacle
which has seating capacity OF 5000
people. Two large anterooms have
been built on either side OF the plat
form. giving the interior more the ap-
pearance OF concert hall. and the
windows behind the stage have been
altered. The seating accommodations,
formerly very uncomfortable. has been
much changed and improved

and did settlement work in some of
England's largest northern cities. He

thorities at Saltillo decline to take the
responsibility Of sending force to their

commit atrocities which otherwise
might be avoided.
The report comes from an official
source at Saltillo, but still is uncon-
tirmed. The American embassy has
called on the Mexican Foreign Office to
Investigate and do whatever is possible
to relieve the Americans should the
report prove true.
Senior Gamboa, the Foreign Minister,
has had no advices further than the
communication from the embassy. He
expressed regret. but added that it was
no more than might be expected as the
result of the neutrality policy" of the
United States. which had hampered the

strong-hand against rebels and bandits.
