ALASKANS G| VI N PREEERE NCE
 LIN RAILROAD

Questioned regarding the telegraph. ic report received during the week to the effect that two thousand men would be brought in by the Alaskan engineering commission this spring to work on the railroad in this divis
 ion, Commissioner Thomas Riggs, Jr, authorized the statement that there would be no change in the policy Of the commission, which is to give Alas kans the preference in the matter of employment. If it is possible to se- cure sufficient help in Alaska, the en-
 tire force in this division during the coming summer will consist of men al ready in the country.
 Mir. Riggs wired to H. P. Warren, who is reported to have given out the information from the Seattle Of flee of the commission, and was ad- vised that the statement referred | merely to the number who would be employed. nothing having been said | regarding the manner of employment The statement regarding the mum | Der of men to be employed on the Ne | mana Fairbanks division is substantiai- ly correct, Mir. Riggs said, and addt
 tions to the present force will be made as rapidly as conditions will permit after funds are available for the re
 sumption of work. This means thai there will be work during the ap
 proaching working season for every one in interior Alaska who desires ! employment.-New Miner.

LIME DEP POS|TS ON CORDOyAN'S $
 HOMESTEAD

Our former townsman, D. M. Lynch, who owns a homestead about seven miles out on the railroad from Mata- nuska, has received the following let ter from the department of the in terior at Washington, to whom he sent samples of the lime deposits found on his property:
 "The sample you sent Is fresh water mari composed chiefly of cal cium carbonate, or lime. It was pro bably deposited on the bottom of a fresh water lake. This material should Of eeassiied era bble lleeal as a land dressing, since the soils in Alaska are for the most part acid and need dressing of lime to coun- teract this acidity and to increase the fertility. Soils thus treated will get in good condition much quicker than otherwise. "It might be used as Aux for smelting, but for this purpose 1t is not valuable enough to be shipped for any distance. If there is any con siderable local demand for quick lime for building, this material could be burned for that purpose.
 No analysis has been made, but tests indicate that about four-fifths of the substance is lime.
 "I was interested to note that you state 1t contains some shells. I shonld like to see what they are, and wil request that you send me some o the best preserved of these shells, a,

II you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says q noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost Daralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expcl it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full Of sediment, tho
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
TO neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off tho
body's urinous waste get four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This

grapes and lemon juice, combined with

to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
