LOTS NOT TO BE SOLD
 UNTIL R. R. PAIDgFOR

The day for the sale of the lots on the government addition to the city wul hot be announced until the final payment Is made by the government on the Alaska Northern railroad on July D, according to a statement given out by Andrew Christensen this morn ing. The payment to be made on that date is six hundred and fifty thou sand dollars, but as the appropriation will be available at that time the pay ment will be easy. In the meantime, Mir. Christensen will proceed to An chorage on the Northwestern to sell some more lots, and in addition to selling lots in that town he will also sell one-acre tracts in the neighbor- hood of Anchorage City. That sale will take place in the week beginning on the 26th of this month. As the date of the sale here will not be an nounced until the money is paid on the Alaska Northern it is likely that the sale will be later than expected Mir. Christensen did not say so but it looks that way as the sale must be ;I, ertised. Some people look for the passing of the appropriation in the next few days.

CARPENTERS STORIES
 OF THE NORTH

The business of the Alaska can neries is enormous. l went through one in Ketchikan that will put up seven and one-half million cans of salmon this year, and, in addition will freeze hundreds of thousands of pounds to be sent to the east, says Frank G. Carpenter in the Christian Herald. The buildings of the can neres cover several acres and the fish are brought in by the boatloads and dumped out by the thousands. When they reach the wharves they are so fresh that they are still kicking and they fairly fly through the "iron chink," a machine which cleans each fish, cutting off its head, tail and fins and taking out its insides within the time of a watch tick. It used to be that all this work was done by hand, ana those hands were usually owned by a Chinaman. When the machine was invented to take the place of the Chinaman it was nicknamed the iron chink," and so it is known to this day. The inventor was a cook of Seattle named Smith, wffo made a fortune out of his invention. The machine will clean SO,OOO fish in a run of 10 hours, as much as was formerly done by 30 of the most expert Chinese. Never . theless the whole machine is not much bigger around than flour barrel and not more than eight feet in height. It consists of a number of knives so ar ranged by machinery that as the fish fly in, one knife cuts off the head, and at the same time another chops of the tail.

PEMBERTON-B CHILLING SAYS WE WILL HAVE TO
 WATCH THE JAPANESE
By WILLIAM c. SHEPHERD

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 LONDON, May 25.-(By MaiD- Pemberton-B Billing, who is trying to awaken England in the matter of the mastery of the air and who made the charge in the British parliament to which he has been recently elected that British airmen were being mur- dered wore a purple dressing gown and called me "oId sport" as he sat at his breakfast table being interviewed.
 He believes the U. S. will have to watch Japan.
 Pemberton- Billing has raised such a tumult, conversationally, in Eng land about the air service that his ideas of how great and extensive the air service should be made are of in- terest.
 His idea is to have the air service the greatest ann of the British forces. He believes that it can be made more powerful than any navy.
 q contemplate force of 100000 aeroplanes soon, and a force of 25O,- 900 within the next ten years. In general there ought to be five differ ent kinds of aeroplanes. First there will be a scout, small and very fast. Another will be a heavier machine, for bomb dropping, carrying, perhaps, one bomb.
 "The third sort will be a cheap and large machine, made in vast quanti- ties, for ordinary battle purposes.
 "A transport aerOplane will rank next in importance. It will be capable of carrying from 15 to 25 men from one part of a battle line to another and also of moving guns, ammuni- ton and other supplies; it will prob ably have five or six decks. Such a machine would rank as the army notorious.
 "There are going to be huge battle planes in the future that will carry batteries of perhaps fOur-fve-inch guns or three six-inch guns with fire control like battleships and with a captain and crew.
 "Get your army and your navy, too, into the sky. Make your enemy come into the sky to fight. Move your troops in the sky; feed them in the sky; let them live in the sky. Just as Napoleon used to force his OppOn-

Jeremiah Lynch, the American who was tried, convicted and executed in England for participating in the Tifsh uprising, was a well known character in Dawson in the early history of the Klondike, where he at one time owned valuable mining property on Bonanza creek. He was one of a committee of three selected by the citizens of Daw- son to present a souvenir of the Yu- kon to Lord and Lady Minto when they visited Dawson in 1900, Lord Minto being then overnor-General of Canada. Although Col Jerry Lynch was a native of the United States, having been born at Fall Riv- CT, Massachusetts, he was frequently referred to in Dawson as the "WIld Irishman." He was unmarried and was 67 years of age last March. He left Yukon in the fall of 1900 and nothing had been heard of him by any of his old acquaintances of the north until his recent escapade in Ire land which cost him his life. He was a warm-hearted and very HkeaD.e man.-Dawson News.

nouncement that should be greeted
with pleasure by all lovers of the
theater in this city 1t was as Lady
Babbie that Miss Adams made her
bow as q star and her portrayal of
the role brought her fame and fol-
lowing that has become larger each
season until now she stands in little
niche in the public regard that is all
her own. THE Little Minister" was
the first of the Barrie plays to win
great success in this country. When
originally given in New York it es-
tablished a record for the length of a
continuous run. 1t was the intention
of the actress to give the play for
three weeks in New York this season.
Its success was such, however, that all
her plans were upset and the play
was given for over two months. Those
who are familiar with Mr.. Barrie's
exquisite story of Scotch life will be
ger to see again this play, but not
any more so than the admirers of Miss
Adams who had no opportunity of
witnessing the work during its early
runs. The comedy is staged with Miss
Adams usual good taste and care and
that it will be welcomed along with
its charming star is certainty

Treat tGaII-Stones
Without Knife
avoid Dangerous Operation by Using
Lohmann's Gallstona to Free
Yourself of Gall-Stones

This medicine has been employed
successfully for years. Numerous

attest it's result-getting qualities. 1t
is positively unfair to yourself to un-

An operation only removes the

Lohmann's Gallstona is designed to
not only remove the gall-stones -(by
dissolution), but to correct the kid

cause them. Hence, its remarkable
success.
