 MRS. TRAVIS; CASE
 OF STAFFORD OVER

Gertina Travis, who holds the IS- cense for the Travis Inn. Stratfor&, was fined $25 this afternoon in the criminal court of common pleas for violation of the screen law. She pleaded guilty. The matter came up after an appeal from the Stratford town court where Mrs. Travis was fined $50. Upon the plea of Attorney F. A. Bartlett, who contended that this was merely technical violation, Judge Walsh granted the accused a certificate which will save her license.
 Dudley J. Stafford, who conducts the Stratford Inn, which is across the road from the Travis Inn, also heard his name in court today. Judge Walsh at the request of Attorney Henry Greenstein, granted Stafford a continu- ance until the May term. At that time Stafford will be asked to show cause why he should not be refused certificate.

Time to UnbottIe Alaska.

Alaska has been bottled up long
enough and it ought to be somebody ;
business to uncork it. The theory of
conserving the natural resources of
that country has been pushed to the
limit of stopping all progress in it.
Popoulation statistics reveal an
amazing stagnation. Alaska is rich in
minerals, and especially in coal. bur
for all the good there unmined re-
sources do anybody they might as
well not exist. Population will not
flow TO any new place where there
is no opportunity to make more than
a meager living.
The fear that somebody might
snatch from Alaska mines too great
a reward has resulted in putting The
bars so high that nobody can sur
mount them. 1t is a foolish and COW
ardly policy for this government to
pursue.
Only the allurement of an extra
ordinary reward will induce men ami
capital to settle in such a remote
region. 1t was such an alluremeu.

If the federal government supposes
that American capital will rush to
Alaska and take all the hazards OF

REMARKABLE WELL

HOUSE COOL IN SUMMER-ALL
AROUND FREAK.

Muskogee, Okla, July 29.-One of
homa is owned by J. c. McSpadden
at Tahlequah, Okla. This well not
only furnishes an abundance of pure
water, almost ice cold in the summer
time, but it affords a supply of chilled
air, which is utilized for a cooling
plant that keeps the McSpadden home
cooler on the hottest day than any
summer resort within a thousand
miles.
1t is freak well all around When
the well was sunk is was for els
tern. When about fifty feet deep the
bottom broke through, revealing y
sort of cavern, in which there was
tremendous flow of ice cold water.
Apparently this is an ineXhaustible
supply, for the well was sunk years
ago and the water has remained at
the same level ever since.

well and his hat will be lifted from
his head by the rush of air from the
well that feels like an icy blast.
Where the water or the cold air
comes from is a puzzle no one has
answered. Unlike most underground
streams, this one changes tempera-
ture in the winter, getting much
colder. While the water stands forty
five feet below the surface of the
ground yet in winter ice five inches
thick has been known to form in the
we'll
Taking advantage of the freak
wells supply of cold air, Mr.. Nc
,Spadden sealed the top of the well
with a concrete cap and placed pipes
in it. Through one of these he draws
his water supply. Through the other
he draws a supply of cold air that is |
piped through every room of his six /
room cottage. These pipes reduce
the temporture many degrees even
on the hottest days, and when the
weather is moderately cool the house |
can be made so cold as to be un-
comfortable.
