a sLlckER At LARGE.

a man who is wasting his tall
cnts is at large somewhere in this
beautiful state. About O'Clock
last evening one of our most
prominent bankers was called to
the door of his residence and
found a man there who inquired
if the bank had received a draft
for $4,000 from California for
him. Being informed that the
draft was not there the stranger
informed the banker that he was
shipping car of race horses here
and was expecting the draft. All
Of this sounded plausible enough,
but the man went on to say that
he must telegraph about the
money and, being a little short
of small change, asked the banker
if he would loan him a dollar un-
til morning. This was complied
with and then the stranger said
he wanted to buy a farm to raise
horses on, SO the obliging banker
directed him to one of the leading
real estate firms in the city and
they in turn treated him with the
utmost courtesy. Becoming lit
tie suspicious as to the strang-
er's good intentions, the banker
phoned to Council Bluffs to see
if car of horses had arrived
there or if one was expected and
was informed that they knew of
none. Then he tried to look up
the stranger to find out his
game, but the bird had flown. He
arrived in Logan this morning
with the same story, but they had
already heard the story, so the
sheriff took him in charge and.
after quizzing him little, found
he was just four lusher and
gave him just five minutes to get
out of town. The last seen of him
he was hitting cross country down
country road. Mr.. Barrett says
his experience was worth all it
cost him and is glad to get off so
easy.

Alaska Poetry

tL c. Wilkes in Cook Inlet Pioneer) Why is it that the writers
 When they write to folks below, Always tell about Alaska
 As the land of ice and snow? You always tell of the Northern Lights And how the hungry huskies howl, Where the streams are cold, and filled
 with gold,
 And the wolf pack loves to prowl. You never tell where the pansies bloom And the morning glories climb, Where spuds grow like pumpkins
 And the garden "sass" is fine. But you'll tell of days in Dawson,
 Or the land of perpetual snow, Where your breath snaps like gunshot x When it's seventy-two below. You never speak of the valley
 On the Matanuska line, Where the farmers raise big cabbage In our southern Alaska cline. You will tell of the cold, the snow and
 the gold,
 But never a word do you say Of the farms in the Matanuska,
 Near the railroad right of way. So why this farce of the far-of north Be applied to all the land, Where there's farms galore, and room
 for more,
 can't quite understand. So change your lines to the summer
 time,
 When the flowers are all in bloom, And learn to be a booster
 And watch the Matanuska boom.

This simple remedy drains the old foul matter from the bowels SO THOROUGH that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE of constipation, sour or qassy stomach. It is SO powerful that it is used successfully in appendicitis. Adleri.ka never gripes and the IN. STANp action is surprising.

It is hard Co determine what the fu- lure has in store for us, but Alaskans have every reason to be hopeful for the coming summer. The government rail- road will go ahead with a force that will seud it we'll into the coal fields of the Matanuska valley, and we see no reason why we should uot be burning Alaska coal by next winter. To the people of the coast towns, Alaska coal should mean better grade at lower price. Most of tbe towns of South eastern and Southern Alaska burn British Columbia coal of an inferior grade while tho millions of tons of high grade Alaska coal lay untouched The mines of Southeastern Alaska, immense deposits of low grade, gOld-bearing rock are attracting She attention of capital, and, especially in this immedi- ate section, the development planned for the coming summer is on an im- mense scale. Douglas Island has the pioneer mine of the district, producing a regular and uniailing amount of gold, and besides there is every reason to hope that during the coming season not only the Nevada Creek properties, but several that lay within the cor pOrate limits of the town of Douglas and on it's borders, will be opened up to the producing stage. Now with the hope that we have for a bridge to con- meet us with the mainland and over come in a measure the disadvantages of an island tbe people of Douglas have every reason Go be glad and happy.

Rich Interior Ore

Probably DO ore ever found in IDter for Alaska was as rich as that taken out ofthe Homestake property recently by Joe Henderson. From about eleven pounds of ore he extracted no less than s1 900, which would indicate that the ore was practically 45 per cent gold. For some time the operators on the Homestake have struck spots in the ledge in which the ore showed extremely high values. Henderson & O'Conuor have been developing the property for many months, and it promises to de velop into one of the best quartz prop ositions of the Panama Valley.-News Miner

CUT DOWN FEED BILLS
BY SAVING GRASS PLOTS

"Forestall the big feed bills and
lean cattle in the Southern States
this winter by cutting all available
grass plots about the farm for hay
says ]. r. Kicks of the Mississippi
Experiment Station. indications are
that many concentrates will be high
priced this fall. Even a poor quality
of hay has as much feeding value as
cottenseed hulls, and cows will read
lily eat it in the winter months"
Mr.. Kicks suggests that now is a
good time to make loating acres give
good returns by cutting off the crab
grass, water grass, or other volun-
teer grass crop and saving it for Win
ter forage. When Johnson grass
grows well there is sure to be a good
hay crop, and many native grasses
make excellent hay, which may be
saved at a minimum cost. Leaving
the value of the hay out of consider
alton. it is worth while to cut the
grass and weeds off the soil because
this leaves it in better shape for
planting small grains and clover
this fall Home and Farm.

ISN'T THERE SOMETHING
FAMILIAR ABOUT THIS?

He'll is crushing through the
breastworks of our local option. The
blind tiger is on the rampage and
is clawing out the vitals of society.
This has a cause somewhere. There
is either a weakness in the law or
the men who should enforce it. Back
Of the gun barrel stands the uncork-
ed whskey bottle. Back of the
whiskey bottle, stand the Illicit
poison vendors and back of all, we
stand afraid to demand of our Off
Gals that this reign of slaughter be
stopped. Widows, orphans, poverty
and bloodshed. An awful price to
pay a gang of cutthroats We look
pleadingly to the powers that be"
and in the language of Uncle Tom
with uplifted hands, We exclaim:
"Oh, Lord. how long?'
II is high time for the ministers
in our town to take up the blind Ii
ger question. Expose every man
who winks at this nefarious traffic.
If there is an official in our town or
county who will not do his duty, let
him resign, and put some one in who
will do his duty. Organization is
needed and this snake should be
crushed right now. 1t will only be
one year until the next election. Let
the temperance people stand togeth
err and vote as a unit. Put in Office
men who will suppress this traffic.
Other counties do it, and they steer
clear of such murders as Falmouth
has recently witnessed.-[ Falmouth
Outlook.
