In my Judgment" says Mr.. Joslin,
'.the placer mining industry in Alas
ka will last thousand years, the area
suitable for placer mining is. SO enor-
nous. What we are working there
now is only the gravels that will carry
from So to SO a yard. You cannot
work gravels that carry less than that,
but once we have transportation there
and can work gravels such as they do
in California, which carry seven cents
a yard, we have got so nearly an I'M
limited area of it that no man can
foresee the end Of that industry in
Alaska
Zone great thing is that nearly the
whole area of Alaska is gold bearing.
There are placers and quartz. 1t has
been said, and believe the statistics
and explorations of the geological sur
vey show it, that you could go from
the extreme southeast of Alaska, at
Ketchikan, where there are important
mines, along this route by way of
Hams, clear out to Nome, a distance
of 1000 miles in a straight line, and
that in every 2O-mile section along
that route you could develop gold
mines. It is infinitely greater than
any other area of gold country that
has ever been found in the world"

case was a scalp trouble. l first no
ticed small punches on my scalp which
commenced to itch and I WoulC
scratch them and in time they got
larger, forming scale or scab with q
little pus, and chunks Of hair would
come out when would scratch them
off. It caused me to lose most of my
hair. It became thin and dry and life
less. I was troubled for over ten
years with it until it got so bad | was
ashamed to go to a barber to get my
hair cut.
II tried everything could get hold
of, and --, but received no
cure until l commenced using Cuticu-
ra Soap and Ointment when the scale
commenced to disappear. The way /
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
was to wash my scalp twice day
with warm water and Cuticura Soap
and rub on the Cuticura Ointment. I
received benefit in a couple Of weeks
and was cured in two months"

At political meeting in certain

should be at liberty to put any cues

SAW OPPORTUNITY FOR JOKE.
President Taft's Reply to Request
Had Secretary of War on the
Anxious Seat.

William H. Taft, when he was
president, never overlooked an cppor-
tunity for joke. In the closing
months of his administration Henry
L. Stimson, then secretary of war,
wrote Mr.. Taft very urgent request
that he give a friend Of Stimson a
certain federal position.
Mr. Taft wrote to Stimson as fol-
lows:
MY Dear Stimson: / am very
sorry I cannot do anything for your
friend in response to your letter of
today. I would like to accommodate
you, but it is impossible. Sincerely
yours,
WILLIAM H. TAFT"
Under that he wrote:
Turn over"
Then Mr.. Stimson read on the 9TH

could hardly confne myself to the
space allotted me for this article. But
there are a few points that perhaps
stand out with special prominence,
and | will try to express as briefly as
possible the reason why, as it ap-
pears to me, the man who saves to
build or buy a home for himself is
the type of citizen of highest value to
the community. ~
For the man of average income, the
acquisition of permanent home In

who is willing to undergo it, instead
of shrinking continually in fear, DEM
onstrates that he has the very quail
ties that make for success; and that
is a large part of the battle.
The man who owns his home can
keep up to better standard of living
than if rent day takes one-third to
one-fourth Of his income.
The saving of the home-owner
gives him permanent buying power
that the renting family seldom has; he
is perpetually solvent instead of de-
pendent
He not only has better credit, but
has every reason to live up to moral
and material standards that make
him a more desirable citizen than the
transient renter.
Ownership of the place one lives
IN is the first step toward financial
stability and community respect. 1t
is the fountain spring of that sincere
and honest pride in home and family
which is one of the strongest ele-
ments in character building for both
parent and children.
1t inspires business sense, and
stimulates the cardinal virtue OF
thrift. 1t fosters an interest in pub

"All the buildings, with the excep-

VERA CRUZ, Sept. g. - President Wilson's representative, John Lind, and Rear Admiral Fletcher returned tonight from Vista Hermossa planta- tion, where they went yesterday at the invitation of a Minnesota friend. The trip afforded no more thrills than the knowledge of a raid on property q few miles from the plantation the same night they spent there, in which bandits killed the man in charge, ap propriating 2000 pesos, and the sight of the body of an executed rebel on the porch of q building by the side of the railway.
 The expedition was of interest how ever, to both. especially to Lind, who was anxious to obtain information concerning labor conditions.

Not a Good Time, He Said, to Come to Aid of Pro gressive Republicans by Observing the Baltimore Platform
ASSOCIATED pREss DTsPATcu1

! WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-One of the rocks that threatened the peace full passage of the Undertook Sim mons tariff bill dissolved into thin air late today when the senate ma jority swung solidly into line behind the leaders to defeat the amendment designed to regulate trusts
 By a vote of fifty to twelve the senate rejected a proposal by Senator Kenyon to put aluminium on the free list. Kenyon and those who joined him in supporting the amendment declared that the manufacture of aluminium in the United States was in the control of a monopoly by the Aluminium company of America. The vote is accepted as a prelude to ac- ton on another amendment proposing to free list the manufacturers of all combinations declared by the courts to be mOnopolies.
 Chairman Simmons of the finance committee, announced that it was not the purpose of the majority to legislate on the trust question at the present time. It was agreed that the Baltimore platform declared against trust made products, but said that this was not the time for trust leg islation. He said congress had spent the summer on the tariff and would spend the fall on currency He pro missed that when those matters were disposed of trust legislation be taken up. He prophesied that winter would find the legislators still in session.
 Simmons spoke after visit to the White House in conference with the president and said the ''insurgent'' democrats had been told by the pres ident that he did not think it a good time to go to the aid of the pro- gressive republicans.
