LOOKS BRIGHTER FUR THE
 J0NE5-GHAMBER-A.N BILL

Washington, Juno 4-senators Jones and Chamberlain yesterday agreed to report the Alaska railroad bin to the full committee on Terri tories having in charge Alaska legls latlon, which includes the railroad quouon. The bill follows closely tn terms la the Jones bill, providing for @ commission to be selected by and under the direction of the president to determine the route or routes For railroad construction in Alaska. 1t also provides for a bond issue of Ioity million dollars for the purpose or raising funds for railroad construction.
 An attempt was made Monday by Representative Palmer to have the Democratic caucus adopt a resolutiO limiting the work Co be done by the present congress to the currency and tariff questions. It was forestalled by tho quick action Of the friends Of the Alaska railroad bill.
 The railroad advocates hope to have the Alaska bill passed by the senate within a short time and want ed nothing don0 on the house side to prevent It's consideration by that body while the senate ls occupied with the tariff. Towards this end rreslden. Wilson was appealed to by Senators Jones and Chamberlain Ia few days ago.
 ). E. Ballaino, of Seattle, left a letter with President Wilson last Saturday, calling the new situation to his attention Tho letter reads as follows;
 "To Che President: Congressman Palmer has called a caucus of house Democrats for next Monday to a. dopt resolutions restricting leglsla- tlon this session to currency and few appropriation bills. This would shut out che bill for building gov eurment railroads in Alaska. which appears for consideration in the senate bctore tho tariff bill is reach ed.
 "An of the friends of the Alaska railroad bill hope that you may help us by mtercedIng with Mir. Palmer to leave the way open In the house to consider this legislation 90 that 1t would not interfere In the slightest with other matters. The house is doing nothing and owes it to the country to attend to just such legis- Ilauon as this Alaska bill, particular ly in view of the many emergencies that call for It's PgomTt c0nsidera- iuOn.

GROWING ALFALFA.

The number is constantly increasing
of those who are taking up the grow
ing of alfalfa, and the tendency is a
matter Of congratulaton, for no other
crop that can be grown in the north
temperate zone gives so great prom
Use along the line of restoring or main
tanning soil fertility and increasing the
bank accounts of the farmers who
grow it. For this reason it is in place
to repeat in these notes some simple
directions for getting a start with the
valuable legume. In the first place the
soil selected for the alfalfa patch
should be well drained and should not
have an impervious layer of hardpan
or clay nearer than five feet TO the sur
face. Also the soil must not he sour.
a condition which is apt to exist if the
soil is not we'll drained If sour the
soil should be treated with couple of
tons per acre of ground limestone or
lime refuse from a beet sugar mill

AN OLD ALFALFA PATCH.

cent issue of the Southwest Trail

rs the thousand year" clover. or u-
Germ, and in the long period since it
was started has shown a remarkable

A MICHIGAN TuBERcuLIN TEST.

Early In May at Flint, Mich, 1000
cows, which furnish the milk supply
for the city of 10000 people, were sub
jected to the tubercuin test. and Of
the entire number forty 9uimals re-
sponded. A day was SCI for the
Strengthening of these animals. and
there were present to witness the dem
onstration not only federal inspectors
and members of the state sanitary and
live stock commission. but scores of
farmers, including those favorable to
and opposed to the application of the
tuberculin test OF the forty animals
slaughtered all but four showed dis
tinct evidence of the disease, and the
state veterinarian was sure that a
pathological examination would reveal
the presence of the disease even where
the LESSONS were not visible to the max
ed eye. Doubtless this is but the be-
ginning of a campaign for clean and
wholesome milk that will mean much
for the welfare of human beings in the
months and years to come. The right
of a municipality to insist upon this
test has been upheld by the supreme
court of the United States, so there
need be no delay on that account

A PElICAN'S EST.

Residents of and visitors at Clear
Lake, in north Iowa. have had the priv
ilege the past few weeks of watching
a couple of pelicans that have built
a nest far out in the lake among the
reeds. In feeding the birds rise some
distance above the surface of the wa
ter and on spying fish pounce down
on it forthwith. The sight of the huge
birds as they rise dripping from the
water with good sized fish Hopping in
their strong beaks is said to be one
that is well worth seeing. The nest
the birds have built is a huge affair
and made of mud and reeds. Normally
these birds nest much farther north
than the latitude in which this pair
have decided to spend the summer.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,

what upon the size which the fruit at
