WHY NOT ALASKA"

Juneau Daily Dispatch, June 10th; The Dispatch has received a copy Of the Forgo Guides See America, ' published at 1923 East 2nd street Brooklu, \. T., in which Colorado Utah and Nevada are covered. It says Guide No. 3, is soon to be is sued to cover Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
 There are no advertisements in these guide books. They are ex- clusiyely descriptive for the use of tourists. Correspondence from states which. might be interesting to tourists is invited.
 The Juneau Commercial club should not overlook this. Alaska should be included. At this time when the tourists trade is being turned towards America because of the European war, is the time to make hay while the sun shines. Once the main tourist travel Is turned iu the direction of Alas "a it will not cease, even after peace has been declared. Alaskan communities by being alive to the advantages offered at. this time cau dc g. great deal to help direct travel to the Northlaud.

THAWING OUT

Portland Telegram: Delegates from south American countries to tho Pan-Americau conference pro posed among other things that a trade court be established. The proposition carries with it the pre- sumptiou that there will develop extensive trade relations between the United States and the various South American countries; and the purpose is to iuaugurate new de parture that has been talked of be tween nations for years, without any practical result.
 It has been generally conceded that ii a court as proposed had been established, so that its ser vices would have become an interna- tioral custom, it would have done much toward strengthening the com uevcfal friendliness of the world; and the cultivation of closer friend EIsss by any legitimate means is uo@ recognized as a matter of great w.riL significance.
 As outlined, the trade court would be composed of eminent busi- ness men selected by the commer- c.al bodies of the various countries, and that it should have jurisdic- t.ou over business matters in dis pute. r aere such disputes affected ally business concern that allied its-,f with others iu that organized understanding The court would be purely a tribunal Of arbitration, md :ts sanction would have none u.har than moral enforcement. The pra. t'gal benefit of it would be to rre.eut delay and expense incurred in tie ordinary legal settlement of sLrp disputes. At the same time ltc court could be made to serve as 9 center or information concerning t., commercial laws, practices and h@ads of the countries interested; ali :@as would become q stimulant l~ ,lrser and more profitable trade gelltio-s
 Rea 'ziug that it is, or that it n,Sv be g far cry from the proposal Go the establishment of a court like tals. the proposal itself, as coming from South American delegates, de not $ how seriously and how eara. tst'y .hCy have euglg ged in the busi- .ess of bringing tEeir own cuLn- t:jrs ,n3 the United States into the intimate relationship of friendly and mutually profitable trade.

CURIOUS CARD TRICK.
lt Deals With Odd Numbers, and the
 ExnIanation Is 9 Mystery.

lt Deals With Odd Numbers, and the
 Explanation Is a Mystery.
 There Is a puzzle which may be per formed with any odd number of ob- jectS, playing cards being usually en- ployed, and which any one can do, but no one seems able to explain the req son for 1t. Let us suppose the number selected to be twenty-seven cards, al- though fifteen or twenty-one would do just as we'll
 After having them shufled hold them In the left hand face upward and then deal them face upward one at tT5 la three piles so that the fourth card comes on the first and the fifth on the top of the second and so on until you have three piles of nine cards each.
 Request any person who Is watching you to make a silent note of any card be pleases, and when you have finished dealing to tell you In which pile the card lies. By picking up the three piles again one at q time as before, the not. ad card will reappear. Ask in which pile 1t came that time and place that pile In the middle as before.
 Upon dealing the cards Into three piles for the third time note carefully the card that comes In the middle of each pile. With twenty-seven there will be nine in each pile and the fifth will be the middle card. Now, when .ho person who selected the card names the pile in which his card comes you will know 1t was the middle card of that pile. With this Knowledge In your possession you can finish the trick tn any manner you please.
 This Is only a statement of results, out what is the explanation or reason for It? What is the rule that makes 1t always come out right regardless of the number of objects used. so that t is odd?-New York Sun.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach tho di1cascd portion of the ear. There is only one way 10 cure deafness, and that is bv constitutional remedies.

When thiR tube Is innamed you have rumbiinE sound or imperfect hearing, and when IL i5 entirely closed Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to It's normal condl- ton. hearing will be destroyed forever: hlne eases opt of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

SHIP CANALS.
Each Has Troubles of It's Own That
 Require Constant Care.

Each Has Troubles of It's own Ihat
 Require Constant Care.
 Leave any ship canal alone for even q year and 1t would no longer be fit for navigation. Within five years q small boat would be unable to go through It
 The United States has anxieties over the Culebra cut In the Panama, but not more so than the Germans over their waterway, the Kiel canal, for the ground through which the latter is cut Is in most places nothing but peat rotten black stuff which keeps on breaking up and falling back into the canal.
 Also the bottom continually bumps up," thus lowering the depth of the passage. The craft that use the Kiel canal have to crawl along. They say that if a cruiser were to make a dash through at top speed 1t would take Q year and several millions of money to remedy the damage done by her stern wave.
 Each canal has its own special trOu- bles. That of the Panama is land slides. Many have taken place during its construction. Many more will have to be dealt with in coming years. It Is estimated that if the dredging work on the Suez were abandoned within less than ten years the Turks or any one else could cross it dryshod. On both sides of the canal stretch miles of dry desert. from which every wind that blows lifts the sand in edging spirals and carries it in great clouds. A sin gle storm may drop thousand tons of sand into one mile of the canal
 Of late years q great quantity of trees have been planted along the banks in order to prevent the sand from drifting into the water, yet even so great steam dredgers are always at work scooping from the bottom the blown in sand and dumping 1t along the shore Another trouble of those in charge of the Suez canal Is caused by fresh water springs. which burst up in its deep bed and pile tue sand in ridges -EXchange.
