HE FELT LIKE NINETY

Nothing will make a person feel old quicker than disordered kidneys, for when they are not working properly the whole system is infected with .pois, ons that cause aches and pains in all parts of the body. A. w. Morgan, An gola. La, writes "Oh I suffered with pain in my back I am 43 years old, but 1 felt like a mon 90 years old. Since 1 took Foley Kidney Pills feel like 1 did when l was 21." They tone up and strengthen the kidneys, and promptly relieve annoying bladder troubles.

ARE YOU UNLUCKY?

Most sicknesS is traced Go careless ness or neglect, but unfortunates who suffer from hay fever or asthma can attribute their ailments to bad luck. In August the air is full of pollen and dust that cause trouble for some, yet others are never bothered. No remedy does more to relieve hay fever and asthma than Foley's Honey and Tar, the well known family medicine for coughs, colds and croup. It clears and soothes the afflicted nose, throat and bronchial tubes.

SNOW CAUSES
MUCH SUFFERING
Sudden Change in Temperature anu
Heavy Snow Causes Much Suf-
fering Everywhere.

The sudden change in the wealth
er by the heavy snow has caused
considerable suffering especially
among those that depend wholly on
the natural gas for heating as owing
to the extremely cold weather the
demand has been especially heavy
and the pressure not sufficient to
supply the needs of the people
Not a dealer in the city had any
coal Monday and unless the short
age is relieved quickly the situation
will be critical Several dealers
have coal in transit but just when
it will arrive rs problematical.
Stock of all kind are suffering and
the farmers. have been compelled to
feed rather heavy and owing to the
scarcity of labor many stock men
are doing their own feeding. The
thermometer registered 10 degrees
below zero Saturday night and Is
degrees below Sunday night, and 20
below at an early hour Tuesday
morning, which is the coolest it has
been in this section for many
years. There is some little conso-
lation in the fact, however, that the
deep snow will prove very beneficial
to wheat, rye and other small grain.
While the gas pressure rs low
Capt. 7. J. Tonkin, local repre-
sentative Of the Central Kentucky
Natural Gas Co., assured the writer
that every effort was being made to
supply the demand and that there
was no truth in the report that the
gas supply would be cut off from
this city but he stated that as long
as the company had any gas We
would be supplied. He also stated
that the company had received and
would install as soon as posslDie
two more large pumps which would
make sixteen in all now working
day and night and that he thought
the installation of these additional
pumps would help the situation con-
siderable. The public is, asked to
conserve the gas as much as pos
sible and to burn as few fires a,s
they can possibly do with.

WAREHOUSES;
Have SALES
Three Local Houses Hold Sales and
Tobacco Brings Highest
Prices Ever Known.

The three tobacco warehouses
held sales last week and everything
considered the prices obtained were
satisfactory. The Farmers house
sold 89,450 pounds for an average
Of $30.6G per hundred. The Robert
i son house sold 27,7S0 pounds for an
average of $29.22. The Whitehall
sold 69,985 pounds for an average
of $4,000. Owing to the lack of
space we are unable to give any
particular crop averages for the
opening sale but publish below a
few averages of today's sales at
two Of the three houses.
The first sale was held at the
Robertson house and 1870 pounds
brought an average of $25.42. The
crops of Patterson & Shrout, 2305
pounds brought $30.18 and that of
Toy Bros, 2645, brought 1924.
After leaving the Robertson
house the sales were continued at
the Farmers house, where 69955
pounds were sold for an average of
$27.91. The market, according to
the warehousemen, was off about
$1.O0 per hundred owing to high
case and fat stems and the farm
ers are urged to take more care in
casing their tobacco as it means
from $500 to $500 per hundred in
the price. We give below few av-
erages received at the Farmers
house which will be of interest:
Burchett & Bramble, 9O55 pounds
at $32.02; Joe Thompson, 5365
pounds for $3164; White & Blew
ins, 1865 pounds for. 5000; J. r.
Lyons, 1865 pounds for $31,66;
Osborne & Chadwell, 2010 pounds
at $31.13; Lewis & Son, 1925
pounds at $31.04. As soon as the
sale was finished at the Farmers
house the buyers started at the
Whitehall and at the time of our
going to press this sale had not
been completed and it was impos-
sible to secure any averages other
than the Red Cross sale as noted
in another article.

NEW METHOD
 FOR HERRING
 BEING GIVEN
Government Secures the Services of An Expert To Instruct Alaska
 Fishermen.

Ernest F. Walker, supervisor Of fisheries for Alaska is deeply inter- ested in instructing the fishermen the Scottish method of preparing herring for the market. The Scot tish way is demanded for herring of the finer class by the trade and as the Alaska herring are the equal to any in the world the market is necessarily large The Fisheries Bureau has secured the services of August H. D. Kile to assist in giving instruction to the herring fishermen of this section in the proper method of handling the fish.
 The following bulletin has been
 issued by the Department and sent to those interested:
 Herring curing in Alaska while at present sadly neglected, will, with the proper support of the people. be- come one of it's leading industries.
 The few herring that have been salted were packed principally ac- cording to the Norwegian method and then in many cases in a rather unsatisfactory way, due chiefly to the scarcity of labor and lack of un- derstanding of the trade require ments. Greater attention to the cure and q more uniform system of sell ecting, salting and packing would greatly reward the curers.
 The limited market for the her ring prepared in this fashion is the middle west while the real herring market is in the east. In New York city upwards of two hundred thousand barrels of Scotch herring are imported each year besides the regular shipments from Norway. Ice land and Newfoundland. The bulk of the Scotch herring is consumed by the large Jewish population. These people are exceptionally good judges of quality and insist upon a uniform selection and cure packed in the 250 pounds of herring free of salt and thoroughly cured.
 This standard Scotch barrel is now being made for the first time 1 by the Western Cooperage Co.,, of Seattle, at S1.60 each and will short ly make it's appearance in Alaska. The United States Bureau of Fish cries will give free instructions to those desiring to learn the Scotch method of curing herring. If inter- ested communicate with MT Ernest P. Walker, Inspector Alaska Ser. vice. Wrangell, Alaska, who will ar range demonstrations by the Bureaus special assistant, MT Aug. II. D. Klie or other competent curers.

The Seattle Steamship Company has been formed at Seattle to take over the interests of the Border Line Transportation Company and to operate the steamers Al-Ki and Despatch to Alaskan ports. It is understood that the fleet of vessels will be gradually increased as busi- ness warrants.
 The first act of the new company was to order the steamer Al-ki to dry dock for complete ovcrhauling and renovation She will come off the run for two weeks while this is being done and when she comes from the dry dock it is understood that she will be in first-class shape for handling the passenger traffic for this section The trip of the Al-Ki which was cancelled on ac- count of her overhauling, will be taken by the Despatch, which is scheduled to sail from Seattle to- night.
 The company was incorporated for $200,000 by W. C.. Davison, John Hausman Philips Morrison. II. c. Cosgrove, II. F. Ostrander, Edgar l.. Webster John Biglow and P. E. liar ris.
 At the organization meeting of the Seattle Steamship Company, II. F.. Ostrander was elected president; w.. C. Dawson vice-president and gener- al manager; C. w. Wiley, vice-presi- dent Howard c. Cosgrove, Secre- tary and treasurer, and c. D. Phil lipp. assistant manager. L. l.. Bates, who was freight and passenger az ent for the Border Line, joins the new company For the present the offices of the company will be at 103 Yesler Way, Seattle, the present offices of the w. c. Dawson Steam ship Agency. The terminal for the company has not yet been decided upon.
