Prices of Monkeys SOARING.

Who would think that the European
war would have anything to do with
the price of monkeys? Well, it does,
and great deal, too, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The price of monkeys
has gone up with food, paper, shoes.
etc, to the despair of the pathologist
and to the sorrow of the hurdy-gurdy
man. The causes for the sudden cor
ner in monkeys is the closing of the
worlds principal wild animal market
at Hamburg, Germany, and the lack of
shipping facilities Not long ago the
pathologists of the national public
health service at Washington wanted
dozen South American monkeys for
experimental purposes. They appealed
TO every wild animal dealer in this
country, to the ZOOS. and to the sailors
in port. and finally purchased six at

TIMBER NEEDED FOR FRANCE
May Be Drawn Upon for Sup
ply After the War.

France is beginning to figure out
how to meet an anticipated Shortage
in lumber and firewood after the war.
The destruction of forests by she'll
fire and the heavy demand for lumber
for barracks and road construction
combine to make a deficit of 100000
cubic feet annually.
Beyond the range Of shells, on both
sides of the front, the military
woodsmen's axes have drawn heav-
lily on timber from the North sea to
the Swiss frontier. The consumption
of lumber will increase during the war
at the rate of 100000 cubic feet a
year and for several years after peace
is made, the demand will continue for
the repair and rebuilding of devastat-
ed regions.
The solution of the problem is con-
sidered to be a question Of transporta-
ton, and Of forest exploitation in the
colonies. Specialists have calculated
that French equatorial and western
Africa, Madagascar, Guinea and Hin
do-China possess $4,000 square miles
of virgin timber land, which could
amply supply France, and several 9TH
er countries with fuel and lumber.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
OILY one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts

caused by an inflamed condition OF the

When this tube is infamed you have q

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-

NEXT FRIDAY |S
 SET APART FUR
 q AMP DRIVE

The Local Committee of the Council of National Defense has inaugurated campaign for the sale of war-savings stamps, to begin next Friday, June 2S, the day designated by proclama- tions of President Wilson and Cover nor Riggs for the commencement of the drive. That day has been off cially designated as "War-Savings Stamp day"
 The aim of the local committee is to induce each and every member Of the community to purchase $2O worth of these stamps before December 31, 1918. Alaska's quota of the amount to be raised thus is $9O0,O00, of which s29O,OOO had already been accounted for on June IS.
 The details of the methods of selling war stamps and war savings certlfl- cates have been printed so often that they are thorougly familiar to every member of the community. It is therefore unnecessary to further dis cuss these at this time. The import ant thing is that every man, woman and child in Cordova is expected to do her or his part in the drive; and it is not doubted that, as in other war activities, Cordova will again Ego over the top.'
 Besides the fact that in buying these stamps and certificates, one is doing a patriotic duty, they furnish splen. did investment, bearing good interest, and backed by the credit of Uncle Sam, the best security in the world A chance is thus given to start a savings account which gives better rate of interest than can be obtained elsewhere, while at the same time re- pleting the treasury of the govern ment and furnishing the sinews oi war for our gallant troops fighting in Europe, for the building Of ships wherewith to transport supplies tc them. and all the manifold activities incident to the great struggle which is to end only in the defeat of German militarism and the unQuestioned tri umph of democracy.

But his plans failed because the Steel ! Corporation was formed, and it was necessary for it's scheme of things that it take over the American Steel & Wire Company, and Gates ceased to be factor in the independent field.
 Neville island was neglected. Little was done at the furnace and nothing was done to carry out the plans for big mills. In 1908 the Carnegie Steel Company, needing more blast furnace capacity, added the Neville plant to it's battery, and since that time it has been operated spasmodically when the stress of steel demand compelled in- tensive production. The rest of the tract was leased to gardeners, and ev- cry year has been adding to the food supply of the district
 The Ohio river is navigable on one side of the island, wicket dams above and below giving enough water for the free movement of boats and barges at all seasons of the year. On the north side are the tracks of the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne & Chicago rail road, the northwest system of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh, and on the south side are the tracks of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie, the Little Giant" of the New York Central system. The corporation also has a railroad on the island which connects runs from one end to the other
 In connection with the ordnance plant, the corporation is to build houses for the 10000 or more workers who are to be employed, but it is conceded that not great many of them can be erected on the island. An entire town, perhaps two, or even three, must be built elsewhere to care for the newcomers, and this, so the story goes in Pittsburgh, the corpor- ation is preparing to do.

GATES' DREAM
 ID COME TRUE
 ATP|TTSBURGH

PITTSBURGH, June 24.-Pittsburgh has lost it's garden, and the long cher ished dream of the late John T.. Gates, who was never afraid to bet million, is about to come true. These facts loom larger when considered in con- nection with the official tacement of the war departemnt tha the United States steel corporation Is about to build on Neville island gigantic ord nance plant.
 For more than a hundred years Pittsburgh has looked to Neville island for it's vegetables. Lying in the Ohio river at the western edge of the city it is high enough through it's entire length of almost seven miles to es- cape the disastrous floods which twice every year drive the people from their homes in the lower part of the old town of Allegheny. While less than a mile wide, it is so level that gar deners early saw in it wonderful pos
 
 abilities, and many hundreds of thou sands of dollars have been taken from it's rich, brown soil. Oil too has added to the riches of the land and even now it is dotted with steel der ricks topping wells that are still pro ducing the light Pennsylvania crude
 Of its 994 acres the Steel' Corpora tion already owns 250 through its prin- cipal subsidiary, the Carnegie Steel Company, and before the ordnance mills are completed it must own much, if not all, of the remainder.
 This property was bought by the late MT. Gates when he formed the American Steel and Wire Company, and he planned to cover the island with the m:ghtiest steel wire mills ever ereoted. He went so far as to build a blast furnace at the head of the island, and to dig deep for the foundations that were to support the heavy machinery his engineers were to install In the great steel buildings.

the hundreds of cars shipped out of

that this is the first year in which
apples have been shipped from this

into bearing, and while We never ex-
