BELLINGHAM AFTER
 THE ALASKA TRADE

BELLINGHAM, Feb. 21.-Re. presentatives of Bellingham job bers and wholesalers will visit Alaska this year for the first time, in an effort to capture part of the increasing trade in that territory.
 Merchants here believe that with the completion of the gov ernment railroad and the pro- motion ot other enterprises in Alaska, a new center of supply can be developed which will be a big factor in the city's trade.
 The Border Line Transportation will make Bellingham a port of call for a minimum of 50 tons of freight for each trip.

CONTROL OF
 ALASKA GAME Is Now Under Three Separate and Distinct Departments of the
 Federal Government

The control of the game of Alas ! ka is vested in Congress and not
 m the Territorial legislature, al- though unsuccessful attempts have
 been made to transfer such control
 to the legislature. Three distinct departments exercise control over the game, fish and fur-bearing an imals. These include the Depart
 ment of Agriculture, the Depart. ment of Commerce, and the Cover
 nor's office. The Department of Commerce through the Bureau of Fisheries. exercise complete control over the fish and marine fur. bear ing animals; the Department of Agriculture over the terrestrial fur
 bearing animals, while the latter
 department and the Governor ot Alaska share in the operation ot
 the game laws. This divided re-
 sponsibilitv does not work for ef- ficiency in the enforcement of the
 game laws and regulations, nor does it increase respect tor the law
 on the part of the people. This IS the opinion of the Secretary of the
 Interior in his annual report for IoI6. In the enforcement of the game laws and regulations nine
 wardens are employed and, be- sides, the employees for the sup preston of the liquor traffic among
 the Indians are ex- officio game war
 dens without pay. Special game
 wardens are employed from time to time Or whenever the funds at the disposal Of the Governors office will permit.
 In June last the Territorial Coun- cil of Yukon Territory, Canada, passed a resolution recommending that some plan of action be mutu- ally undertaken by the govern ments of Canada, the United States and the province of British Colum- bia for the protection ot game an- imals, game birds and fur-bearing animals. s.-Alaska Railroad Record.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
 ON GAS BOATS

Ferries have regulations as to passengers and boatage, but under some conditions it is better to run a ferry under a regular steamboat license, inasmuch as the advantage in tbe ferry license is so small in comparison to deviate from running between two stated points.
 A ferry license permits smaller number of life boats.
 Donkey boilers, such as are re- quired for steam inspected vessels, to be placed between decks. are not required on motor vessels.
 Gas boats, under IS, tons. carry ing passengers for hire, no matter what Tenth, are not inspected, and can carry passengers and freight without hoatage, but have one man who is licensed with special oper- ators's license entitling him to navi- gate the boat and run the engine.
 If the boat is under 65 feet in length, one operator is the only licensed man required. Gas boats engaged in passenger service over Is tons and over 65 feet, must have regulary licensed master, and an engineer with gas license, Ca steam engineer cannot run). Yes. sel is subject to inspection in a general way, but as far as boatage is concerned, must indicate how many passengers theywis tocarrv, Inspectors cannot dictate this), and then boatage and life rafts must be placed the same as steam vessels. Boatage on inland waters, i. e. where vessel does not leave any shore a greater distance than three miles must be 10 per cent of the number ot passengers and crew carried, and this 10 per cent may be one-fourth boats. remainder three-fourths life rafts.
 Inspectors have the right to re- yoke the license of ar officer on an inspected moter vessel in the event he exceeds the Salty limit tin their opinion) in carrying passengers, and this is the only prohibitive right they have. e.-Paciflc Motor. ship.

Eastern Newspaper COD7Hents on DeaM
 of John FinIaysoa
Providence lournalD


 The English Who's Who" re- cords the biographies of only two FinlavsonS-one a professor in Pe- king and the other a soldier at Kim berly. But dispatch from Wran- gell, Alaska. under date of yester- day, announces the death of anoth- CT interesting Briton of that name, John Finlayson, explorer, for whom Finlayson river and Finlayson lake in Yukon territory were named. The map shows this lake to be a body of water some twenty-five miles long, lying in the south eastern part of the Territory and connected with the Mackenzie river system. As Finlavson had been an explorer in British Columbia and Yukon Territory for the last generation and had visited large areas never previously penetrated by white men, his name deserves to be perpetuated in the nomen- clature of the region. But he has another fair title to fame-he was 1o5 years old when he died. This looks like tribute to the value of outdoor lie in rigorous climates.

TO IMPROVE ISLAND ROADS
Oil-BurninJ Locomotives Of American
Type to Be Inaugursted in
British West Indies.

On recommendation Of the governor
of Trinidad and Tuhagn, British West
indies, improvements are To be made
on the government railroads. There
are now l22 miles of standard track.
of which the government operates III
and leases the remainder The rail
road is not profitable. The net in
come is $l32, 900, which IS not sutli-
Client to meet the interest charges and
provide for the sinking fund. Yet in
spite Of this more expenditures are to
be incurred, and some additions will
be made to the power outfit. Oil
burning locomotives are TO be ordered,
as oil is produced in the colony in
large quantities. and if il can be used
with good results will effect q large
economy. The price of Welsh coal de-
livered Is now S1S q ton, whereas q
ton Of oil fuel costs about s.. The
new locomotives will be of American
manufacture and Americans are ex-
pected to provide the material for
other improvements. The road is
managed on an absolute block system,
and in the 40 years of its operation
only II passengers have lost their
lives through train accidents out of
tOral of 100000 carried.

RAILROAD STOPS ARE COSTLY
Stopping and Starting Ordinary
Freight Train Is 90 Cents.

A railroad in the Southern part Of
the United States, in order to make it
plain TO its patrons why suburban
trains are not stopped whether there
are passengers or not, has carefully
computed the cost Of stopping Il train.
The calculation was made that it costs
about 90 cents to stop a freight train
of 1000 tons and then to speed it up
again TO Its normal rate of - miles
an hour. This calculation was, of
course, based upon the price of coal.
One-half of this expense represented
the amount of coal burned; then there
was the time wasted by the men, this
being valued at ten cents. The wear
and tear on the brakes and the start
ing mechanism was estimated at 20
cents.

Big Waste or COAL.
American Railroads Might Save

LARGEST SINGLE COST ITEM
Use of PuIverized Fuel Is Given as So
luton Of Serious Economic Prob
Iem-Arduous Labor by Fire.
man Done Away With.

An expert whose paper is summar-
lied by Railway and Locomotive En-
cheering makes the interesting decla-
ration that American railroads might
save from One-Quarter to One-third of
their coal hill-a proportion amounting
To from S7J0OO,000 TO $1O0,OOO,OOO an
nually-by the use of pulveriZed coal.
The present waste arises from the fuel
burned, when locomotives are not ac-
tually using steam to move, in kindling,
preparing, cleaning and maintaining
CRATE fires.
Next TO labor" says the engineering
organ, the largest single item of cost
for transportation in this country is
the fuel for locomotive operation. :.
The necessity for conserving the
supply of oil in the rapidly exhausting
fields for other than railroad fuel pur
poses, will soon eliminate it from loco
motive service, while the higher prices
and shortage in supply of the larger
size and better grades of solid Goals
now in demand for the commercial
trade Will bring about the use of the
less salable by-product of the mines in
pulverized form.
Steam locomotives will eventually
have to be equipped so as to approx
mate 70 electric machines by the use of
pulverizcd fuel, which in turn will elm
mate smoke, SCOT, CinderS, sparks and
fire hazards; reduce noise, bring down
the time for diSpatching at terminals,
and standby losses; and increase the
daily mileage by providing for longer
runs and more nearly continuous Serv-
ice between general repair periods.
"By mechanically feeding and burn
ing pulverized fuel, arduOuS labor on
the part of the fireman is replaced by
the more skilled manual control of
combustion, and assistance is given to
the engineer in the operation of the
locomotive and permits better chance
for the observation of track and sig
nails.
The opportunity for reducing the
nOnprOductive time of existing lOComo-
tiveS, and for relieving terminal con-
gestiOn that is now caused by the ne
CcsSity for cleaning fires, ash pans,
flueS and smoke boxes; inspecting and
repairing draft. CRATE and ash-pan APP
planes. and for firing up and supply
ing firing tools and equipment to coal
burning locomotive CRATES, makes the
use of pulverized fuel one of the most
effective and economical means for in
creasing the net earning capacity of
present single and dOuble-track steam
roads"

KILLED ON ILLINOIS ROADS
In 1915 There Were Fewer Accidents
Than in Any Other Year Since
1soe-Many Trespassers.

Perhaps you don't desire to travel
500 years at the rate of a mile a min
ute, but if you had been permitted 10
do so. then you would have transacted
a little journey of 2,5OO,OOO000 miles,
and this would represent the passen-
ger traffic handled in Illinois in a
year. In this year, 1915, there were
fewer railroad accidents than in any
other year since 1899, and of the
total killed 60 per cent were not law
fully riding on trains but were tres
passers upon railroad property. Liter
ally speaking, in 1915 only ii people
were killed on trains, while trespass-
erS numbered 427.

A close connection exists between
these two - cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold !; there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. - For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason

In the South, everyone uses Vick's
Vap-O-Rub Salve, the external treat
ment for all forms of cold troubles,
but it was introduced in Springfield,
Mo-, for the first time, last winter.
Naturally, the local druggists were
skeptical, they had to be shown" that
Vick's Vap-O-Rub really would relieve
most cases of Group in fifteen minutes,
and colds over night So arrange
-ments were made for each druggist to
present complimentary jars of vap-O-
Rub to a few of his customers, on con-
trial. Among the customers Of the
J. w. Crank Drug Company were Mr..
John Turner, 1901 N. Campbell ST.,
Mrs. Bert Hume, 1926 Howard ST., and
Mrs. Hattie Gibbons, S22 w. Division
