PATENT IS DENIED
 LIES PLACER CLAIMS

In the application of Ida F. M. Hes, of Valdez, for patent to lode claim Ida May and for placer claims Huckelber- ry and Solomon Falls has been denied. The General Land Office holds that no discovery was made on the property. no development work done and that claims were not located in good faith as mineral claims, but were located because of the water rights.
 The case has been in the courts for many years. The immense water power in Solomon basin crosses two of the claims.

WORK TO SOON BEGIN IN A, N.
 RAILROAD

With coats off and sleeves rolled up we are right here ready to pitch into the ork on the Alaska Northern railroad" said Thomas M. Ward, as. | sistant engineer in the construction of the government railroad from Sc ward to the interior. On Northwest ern which arrives here before tomor- row night are Leslie Cramer, paymas- ter for the government, and D. Barn | dollar, auditor of all disbursements in 1 the work of construction. Both men will make their headquarters In Sc. ward as will MT. Edes who will be the last official to arrive and make up the full engineering force for the work on this railroad out of Seward. MT. Ward did not desire to be quoted as saying what his beliefs are as to the amount of work that will be done here. When asked if it is not a fact, as cabled from Washington, that the Al aska Northern will be reconstructed to Mile Forty-five this summer and that the rock work will be done in the winter time, he stated that he could not say, but he declared that the plans are now being prepared.
 MT. Ward is one of the big en. gineers of the country judging by the information given to the Gateway from other ources. He was with Chairman Edes on the Southern Pacific and was constructing engineer of one of the divisions on the Virginian rarroad. Another member of the governemnt force who has just arrived is Oliver e Hubby, chief draughtsman, Who comes from the Panama canal where he was one of the construction engrn- eers. He is one of the prominent members of the profession in the uni ted States.
 The chief facts to be elicited from his conservation is that within a few days the operations will begin on the Alaska Northern and Seward will jump to the front. He did not say so much but what else can be taken from his nemarks-Seward Gateway.

SERVICE W ] RK 5 KEEP NATIVES
 WELL

The United States Public Health Service, which has maintained a sani- tary service in Alaska for the past three years, finds that the mortality from communicable diseases in Alaska is gradually falling. In the majority of the settlements the teacher is the only doctor. but medical officers of the public health service make ire quent visits to the various commun1- ties and teach both to the natives and the whites the methods by which tub erculosis, eye diseases, and other com mon ailments are spread, and the way in which they may be prevented.
 This warfare against disease has resulted in the abolition of the deadly roller towel and the common drinking cup by the natives, and this hyglenic I Barrow, the most norther1y point in North America.
 To those interested in public health activities, it is of great interest to note the progress made in promoting hy- giene and sanitation during recent years throughout the civilized world. In this respect our wards in Alaska, the Indians and Esklmos, have not been neglected.
 The United States Bureau of Educa- tion, which has supervision of the na- tive schools of Alaska is cognIzanr Of the urgent need of sanitation in the native homes and villages in order to check and eradicate the communicable diseases, the effects Of which have de- creased the native population II per vent during the period 1900 to 1910. according to the United States Bureau of Census.
 A part of the appropriation for edu- cation of the natives of Alaska IS be- ing expended for the maintenance of three impovised hospitals. All schools are provided with simple remedres ana medical handbook of instructrons.
 Lectures on tuberculosis, eye dis ease, ventilation, care of infants, pre- paration of food, and other subjects pertaining to disease preventive meas ures are delivered. These talks are supplemented by individual instruc- tions in the home.
 Pamphlets on the cause, prevention. and cure of tuberculosis have been is- sued to pupils throughout the school service, and How to Keep We'll" cards placed in the homes. Various bulletins issued by the United States Public Health Service on health sub jects have been distributed to the field workers for their information ana guidance.
 Paper towels and individual drinking IDS are being used in the schools in place of the common articles and their value explained to the children.
 This campaign of warfare against disease is showing results. The na- tices are being educated to hygienrc living, care being taken not to includ- living, care being taken not to incul- cate the customs of the white man un- less saay will bring about better ment of health and economic condl, tions.

It isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
That gives you a bit of heartache,
At the setting of the sun;
The tender word forgotten;
The letter you did not write;
The flowers you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way;
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle, winning tone;
Which you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1915-08-11

No one else may care if you have a
broken heart;
No one else may, il you err, be in
cIined to take your part;
When fair weather friends forget
and fortune smiles no more.
She viii think you worthy yet, and
be faithful as before
No one else may ever see all the fine
things you have done;
No one else may know, but she will
perceive them, every one;
Others may belittle you, but, with
gladness in her heart,
She will win her triumphs through
those by which you may be
blessed.
No one else may be inclined to for
get you if you fall;
If your hopes must be resigned no
one else may weep at all;
But if all else turned away and your
soul with sin were black,
She would never fail to pray every
day to win you back.

HOW TO FEEL BULLY


Work, and keep on working, and
make every act count for something
higher and better. 1t leaves bully
feeling.
Save your money, and keep o.
sewing, and accommodating, until YOU
have enough of this worlds goods
TO see you comfortable through life.
That, too, is some bully feeling.
Be kind and gentle and consid-
crate to the members of your fam
lily. The knowledge that you are
making them happy win cause you
to feel even butler than bully.
Give the little ones smile and
pat when you meet them, and
their expressions of delight will be
the quintessence of bully to you.
Be humane in your handling of
dumb brutes, for though they may
not talk with the tongue, their eyes
will speak the gratitude they feel
And again you viii experience that
bully feeling.
Speak gently of your neighbor,
and forgive his faults, that he, too,
may join you in the bully feeling.

home and home people upon all oc-

WE WANT BETTER ROADS

With automobiles in large num-
bers tearing through the country at
thirty miles an hour, and the ordi-
nary traffic steadily increasing, the
matter of better country roads is
becoming a vital question with ev-
cry rural community in the country.
The size of our crops is not the
only thing to be considered when
specializing upon the future pros
perity of the nation. The matter
of getting those crops to market in
the quickest possible time and at
least expense is one of the most i'm
portant problems we have to deal
with today.
1t is an indispensable fact that
automobile, traffic cuts great ruts in
our country roads, tears them to
pieces, and renders the hauling Of
heavy loads of farm produce doubly
difficult.
But there is remedy, and it
should be applied.
We should build better roads
HARD ROADS.
If it requires bond issue to do
it, then let US have the bonds.
The increased facilities of mar
keting products, and the increase IL
acreage as result of improved ros.4
condition, would more than offset
the small interest on the bonds.
1t is a cold, sane, hard-headed
proposition for the material welfare
of the whole community, and should
be taken up and carried through to
completion by the proper authorize
without loss Of time
Wherever you find high grade
country roads, there you invariably
End prosperous class of people.
We need them here, and we can
accommodate all Of the prosperity
that follows in their wake.

Mr.. Town Man, how many farm
ers around here are You acquainted
with, and with how many are you
really on friendly termss
Don't you know that our farmers
are one of the greatest and most
valuable human assets of this COM
munity, of this town.
Don't you know that without them
we would have no town to speak Of,
that we should be just a dot on the
map, or not on it at allg
And don't you think it is to our
interest ~ to YOUR interest - to
know the farmer better, to make
friends with him, to give him a
genuinely hearty welcome every
time he comes to town.
Shouldn't we make him feel that
this is HIS town, as well as ours 2
There is not higher type or
more energetic class of farmers in
existence than those of our own
community.
Let's get close to them-and
stay close.

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 infamed condition OF the mu-

this tube Is inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when Il is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO It's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine

OUR NEW MAN OF BUSINESS

For generations throughout the
civilized world the farmer has bee {.
regarded simply as farmer-noth-
ing more.
He has been classed as farmer,
rated as a farmer, and treated as
a farmer, and all because there are
none so blind as those who will
not sec.
But all of that is changed today.
The farmer has come into his
own, and stands before the world
in the twentieth century as the
most solid, substantial and reliable
class Of people on the face of the
globe.
He is "a man of business--of tre-
mendous business--the one man
without whom the people Of the
world would cease TO exist,
Men go out TO the great cities, and
many Of them rise, and fall, and
are heard from no more.
But the farmer moves steadily on
ward, and upward, always to better
and greater things.
He is our new man of business
our greatest man Of business
the man upon whom all the world
depends for the vital sustenanee Of
life.

But when it comes to a fight Happy
Jack is no match at all for Shadow

is too quick for him. and though Happy
Jack were ever SO brave he would have
