PR. R. SUFFERS LOSS
ON ELECTRIFIED LINE
Faulty Wire Work Delays Inau-
guration of New Service and
Results in Debit.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Is losing q,
most $1,000 daily because of the continues
delay in putting the Main Line electriesa
system in operation. The company ~.
already expended more than AOoOOoo n
preparing the 20 miles of track ana
equipping cars for service on the rs,,
system. and the heavy overhead expen,.
and fxed charges Of carrying the nov
equipment together with the cost OF h.
stallng new wires, will swell the loss nov,
being sustained to more than 100000
Although it was expected that the elac.
trio trains would be put in operation n,
the Main Line some two months aao =
trial trip disclosed the fact that the shor,
wires supporting the contact wires ware
lacking in tensile strength, several hun.
dreds of them being broken on the dam
onstration run. Experts pointed out tbat
unless these supporting wires wera ~
placed by heavier ones they would hs !
source of continuous trouble and exnsn.e
to the railroad. The work of instaiilnS
the new wires over the system began In,.
mediately, but owing to difficulty in pro-
curing the heavier wire the work hs,
heen delayed repeatedly. On1cials OF M
company now believe that the electtisod
service may be put in operation within
few weeks

Originally 1t was set apart as a day on which to decor ale with garlands of flowers the graves of the soldier dead of the Civil war-coufederates as well as those who died to preserve the Un- ion, aud later was extended to em- brace all those who sleep in the silent Cities of the Dead" in Skag- way tb's custom has not been ob- saryel to any great extent, as in the hurry and rush after glitterinS gold, the sentimental side of life has been buried almost completely beneath the debris of the primitive the reaching out for the things sOrdjd aud material.

This thought was expressed beautifully in an article published in the columns of the Daily Alaskan a few days ago from the pen of Mrs. Edward I.

Comforting Words
Many an Alaskan Household Will
 Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back remoyed-to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous UT -i-ary disorders, is to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The fol- lowing advice of one who has sui fered will prove comforting words to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
 P. E. Sanderson, S19 First St" San Diego, Cal, says: "A severe at tack of la grippe laid me up for five weeks My back got very pain full, lame and weak. My kidneys were in bad shape l felt all run down. 1 read about Doan's Kid ney Pills and got a box. They fixed me up all right. Whenever l have taken cold on my kidneys since, I have used Doan's Kidney Pills. They have always brought good results"

"SKAGWAY BEAUTIFUL"

I've watched the flush of evening Paint the cloud-craft of the sky. Till tl., tender touch of twilight Claimed the fealty of the eye. Noon-silver'd were the waters That leapt from Skagway's height, While the star-sown vault of
 Heaven
 Crowned Alaska's matchless night. Each truaut breeze that loitered Through Skagway's valley green, Had stolen a kiss of the daisies And blue-bells that grew between. And on yon imperial mountain Where robes of azure are flung, Maids of the mist have kept their
 tryst
 Since the morning stars were
 young.
 And the spirit of Skagway's beauty Subdued my heart into prayer, Till I bowed my head in reverence To the God that was everywhere!

therefor the wealth of no part or the Worli can really be increased thereby, however such may seem to be the case fer the time being That this is literally true, even from the standpoint of ordinary commer- cial vision, is evident when one reflects that the transfer of money in exchange for a non-DroductlVe article merely lmproYerishes the na- ton who imports and pays, and therefore renders such nation less able to trade in the future. This lack of means wherewith to trade whether comparative or absolute must react eventually on the nation
 who, for the moment, seems to be a gainer by the transaction. It is this fact which causes the bad trade so generally experienced after the finish of even comparatively unim- portant wars. The fact is that the prosperity of the world as a whole, is compounded Of the prosperity of the component parts of the world, and so the jealousy of one part or nation at the prosperity of anoth- er part or nation is born of ignor- auce ana fear and has no actual
 ,ase whatever. }!

WEALTH

All the London financial papers are commenting on the extraOrdin- oryil, good times" at present be- inc nnioye1 by manufacturers and agriculturists in the United States, owing to the vast quantities of food and munitions now being eX- ported from America to France Rus sia and Great Britain. These "~OOd times" are reflected in many ways, and not least in the sur priSing rise in the value of Ameri- co. securities, and in the large pur- chase of thos> securities from Eu- rope. And yet it is sad to think that of this wealth, that is pouring into America, it cannot be said that like mercy lit blesses him that gives and him that takes" Unlike ordinary peaceful commerce, which ha> that sanctifying quality of blessing one and blessing all, this wealth is a mere transfer from one side to the other. What is the gain of America Is the loss of Europe, for the goods purchased do not fructify in Europe, but simply increase destructive power on one side or the other. The eye
