Hanging ears, well covered to

lnValid's Mysterious Dyspepsia ReIived
at Once in Sussex County


Seized with a violent coughing
spell, George Rawlins, of Sussex
County near Georgetown, elected
woods lizard and thereby ended a de-
cline that was slowly killing him. For
the past two years Rawlins has been
in very poor health. From 172 pounds
he went down to 118, and. unable to
work and misery to himself as well
as his family. he tried every means
of ridding himself of what he supposed
was stomach trouble. Frequently he
complained of terrible gnawing and
tried many doctors anG many cures
in an attempt to stop the indigestion
with which he supposed he was
afflicted. He had often complained
of feeling something crawling, but
doctors thought this was hypocondria.
Thursday he felt something strangling
him, and after long fit of coughing
brought up the reptile. Rawlins at
once felt relief and now remembers
that two years ago while he was gun
ming he stopped to drink from a run
ming stream. He remembers that
something slippery went down his
throat.

Christian Herald
 Comes to Alaska

FAIRBANKS, June l6. - Louis Nopsch who has bought the interest of R. G. Southworth in the Fairbanks Times is the son of the man who was owner of the Christian Herald and of the woman who is now the Christian Herald owner. Southworth intends to go to the coast to enter the news paper business.
 ct will be interesting to watch how the son of the Christian Herald owner and the right honorable w. F. Thomp- son will deal with each other. Some time ago, by the way, it was stated that Mir. Southworth intended to come to Seward to start another newspap- CT. There is certainly a magnificent opening here for two or three more)

TO SUGGEST FIXED
 R. R. APPROPRIATION

H. c. Foster, former mayor of Gloucester and member of the state senate of Massachusetts who is now here, will write up conditions relating to the government railroad specially for Congressman Gardner of the lower house of congress by the special Ways and Means committee at the request of Gardner himself, Foster and Gardner were opponents in the fight for the state senate of Mas sachusetts and Gardner won by four votes, but when Gardner went to the national legislature Foster succeeded him in the state senate without op- position. Congressman Gardner is a very influential member of congress and is a son in law of Seantor Lodge. Before coming here Mir. Gardner ask ed Mir. Foster, who is a civil engineer, to examine conditions here carefully and let him know all about them. Gardners place on the Ways and Means committee gives him, of course, an immense influence. Mr. Foster declares he is strongly in favor of the railroad and everything con- nected with it but one of his chief recommendations to Congressman Gardner will be that a fixed annual appropriation be decided upon so that work on the railroad will not have to be held up as it is this year at the very best time of the season by lack of funds.

WEIR GONE TO
 MEET MEARS
EDES WILL PROBABLY NOT VISIT FAIRBANKS THIS
 SUMMER.

R. J. Weir went out over the line last evening and will go all the way to Kern creek to meet Lieutenan, Mears, it is stated. At the meeting it is likely that steps will be decided up- on which may have an important bearing on the work in the near future. A rumor was heard about town yesterday that Chairman Edes may take a trip to Fairbanks this spring but questions asked of officials rather bring out the unlikelihOod of such a visit. It may be stated, how ,ever, that nothing positive can yet be told as to the chairman's move ments.

SURROUND ANCHORAGE
WITH LITTLE FARMS

Five acre tracts will also be sold at Anchorage in the new auction which will begin in few days. These tracts are located at the south and east sides of the town. Close into the town are on acre tracts and just be- yond are the five acre ones. The idea is said to be to give the people ittte farms if they want them. A similar procedure here is said ,o be lmpos- sible owing to the fact that all the land is privately owned around the city. Mir. Christensen, by the way, stated this morning that he is not at liberty to donate land to the Pioneer Igloo or to any fraternal organization or church. This statement resulted from a request recently made by the IglOo for donation of a piece of ground on the government addition to the city.

MOFFITS OPINION
 NOT EFFECT ALASKANS

Regarding the criticisms made by Chairman MOfit of the Federal Board of Arbitration and Consolidation against Judge Fred M. Brown, in connection with the labor troubles at Anchorage, P. II. Ringstad, Secretary of the AL aska Labor Union, says, in a letter written to Charles McCallum:
 q do not think the people of this territory should or will be influenced by any criticism. While Judge Brown is acquainted with the conditions and the people of this country, Mir. MOfit was a stranger to both. It was quite noticeable that a more cheerful view of the situation was assumed by all here when it became known that Ju6ge Brown, an Alaskan, was to as- sist in adjusting the differences, and l think his efforts were appreciated by all here,
 "As regards to Mir. Mofit, judging by his actions, he may in good faith have intended to remain here long enough to familiarize himself wit;l the conditions in this country before setting a wage scale, but if so l am afraid that, like the Engineering Commission, he would have required quite some time to complete it, thus working a hardship on us all.-Valde2 Prospector.

SEWARD PEACEFUL

That Seward, the government rail road terminal, is a perfectly peaceful town may be concluded from the fact that during the last three months only six cases have come before the court of the city magistrate, Leon Booker. This was brought out by the fact that this morning a gentleman was fined a paltry flyer for being drunk and dis orderly.

The general agent of the United
 States land office is now at work on the preliminary arrangements to bring homes,eaders together for the advan,- age of the community generally. It was stated some time ago in 8 cable to this paper tha, such 30 step was abou, to be taken and Genera, Agent Christensen is now busy at work drawing up a form containing ques- tions which will be submitted to the local merchants and to the local
 ranchers with a view to learning if the products of local farms cannot be placed as much as possible on the home market. The question to the ranchers will deal with the sorts of products his farm can offer the amounts, prices. etc. and the Ques- tions to the business men will be ask ed to bring out the possibility of us- ing the local farm products for sale in the stores here. The intention ap- parently is merely to bring the pro ducers, the sellers and the consum- mers into a sort of friendly willing ness to aid local products in every way, all other conditions being equal

UNCLE SAM IS
 IN THE RED
PAY CHECKS ON GOVT. BOAT NOW HERE; HAVE THE
 "NO FUNDS" LEGEND.

There are many private people in this city who can sympathize from the heart with Uncle Sam today as a fellow sufferer. He has no funds to meet his checks.
 The crew of the government light house tender Kukui which is now in this port has been threatening strike but time checks finally came on the Watson to pay them off. However, there were no funds available to meet those checks and the members of the crew found themselves faced with the necessity of waiting until an appropri- tion is made. This was particularly difficult as ths town had not gone dry, but the obstacle was finally surmount- ed when the men cashed their checks in the saloons and gave the saloons power of attorney to collect the money when the funds come around The checks are not otherwise trans ferable. All this is due,-as railroad national legislators have let the busi- ness of congress be disorganized by attending the national conventions. No appropriations have been made.
