SHORE WHALING
 IS PROFITABLE

 MILLION DOLLARS

Three shore whaling stations were operated in Alaska in 1918, one of which took white or beluga whales for the hides. It was located on the Beluga river in central Alaska The other companies were at Port Arm strong in southeastern Alaska, and at Akutan in the Aleutian Islands. Frozen whale meat to the amount of 148,000 pounds, valued at $7,400, was shipped to the states The total value of the products was $834,127, an increase of $179,255 over 1917.

MINING EXPERT
 NOW ADVOCATES
 BONUS ON GOLD
A T ROOS PREDICTS CLOSING DOWN OF NEARLY ALL GOLD MINES IN COUNTRY UNLESS GOVERNMENT COMES TO AID OF THE INDUSTRY.

That gold mines should have a bonus of $1O an ounce in order to survive, and that the arts should be prohibited from the use of gold, was the opinion expressed by A. T. Roos, Ph. D., before the American Mining as the basis for legislation which will be asked from congress.
 According to the St Louis Post Dispatch, this expert predicted that unless the United States pays a bonus of $10 for every ounce of gold mined within it's borders, the next few months will behold the absolute cessation of the industry, except for a few high grade mines in Alaska and perhaps several placer dredging propositions in California.
 The production of gold in the Unit ed States decreased from $92,00O,000 in 1916 to $68,000,0O0 in 1918, says this authority. Last years entire pIOuuCllOu was dDSOl Deu Dy lut dl tS and industries, especially dentistry and jewellery manufacture"
 During the war, Dr. Roos continues, committees from Alaska and other parts of the country reported to congress on the deplorable condition of the industry. The mine owners were urged as an act of patriotism, to keep up production to the best of their ability, with the assurance that when the war ended they would be assisted But during this year two congressional committees have re ported adversely upon the bonus pro position, on the grounds that in a short time the cost of supplies and labor would return to normal Juneau Empire.

KICK PUT INTO
 "TONIC" DRINKS
 BY ENCLISHMEN

LONDON,- (P)-In America, it is reported here, many erstwhile manu- faCturers of alcoholic beverages are now devOting themselves to the pro ductiOn of soft drinks and mineral waters. In this country, as the rsult of what one paper called the boom in booze" several manufacturers of notwithstanding beverages are turn ing their attention to the production of drinks that possess what is popu larly called a decided kick"
 Evidence of that was conspicuously apparent at the brewers exhibition which opened today. One of its fea- lures was the display of wines liquors and cordials by a firm whose name heretofore has been a house. hold word in the mineral-water trade
 During the war said one of the directors of the company, we sup piled 15,0O0, 900 bottles of soda water to the army. Now that trade has gone We are going strong for liquers, tawny ports, tonic wines and other drinks that are not lacking in what some of our American customers call punch."
 People who have hitherto regarded ginger wine as a harmless, non-alco- holic beverage which warns the heart and leaves no bad head the next morning will have to be careful how they indulge in it in the future in this country. It has become dis tinctly elevatng in character in the hands of this firm.
 Perhaps that is the reason why We have already sold 54,000 dozen bottles of it this year" said the director

MT. Wm. o. Young, United States commissioner at this place died very suddenly on the afternoon of DeCem- Der 24th MT. Young was an old timer in the North having come to Circle City in 1895. He went to Dawson in 1897 and was with Scouse interested in some valuable property on Eldorado in that camp. He had been ailine for some time back, and about ten years ago was given but six months to live by the post doc tor at Ft Gibbon, but a few years spent in the hills gave him a new lease of life and until the last few months he has apparently had the best of health. The immediate cause of his death was a hemmorrhage of the lungs He was buried in the local cemetery on the tweny-ninth.

Very few wild furs are bein prot in and it is thot by those interested that the catch will be very light in this section this winter The heavy snows and a couple of rains have kept the traps buried and in many cases frozen in so solidly that it has been cheaper to abandon traps and set new ones rather than to attempt to recover them. Then, too, the shortage of dog feed, owing to the cannery at the mouth of the Yukon, has compelled many of the trappers and natives to kill off their dogs thus making it impracticable for them to cover as long trap lines as formerly.

DOCTOR SUGGESTS
 NEW CLOTHES AS
 CURE FOR SICKNESS
Woman Claims They Are More Reviving Than
 Pills or TOnics

London, February 2s-Reciprocal News service)-"when she is thoroughly run down and her doctor orders nasty tonic the very best thing for woman to do Is to rush right over to Bond street and buy herself the prettIest hat she can find"
 This remarkable statement was made by one of Englands premier women doc tors before large and exceedingly earn est meeting at the Institute of Hygiene in her lecture on Clothing and It's In- fuences on Comfort and Contentment".
 Dr. Elizabeth Sloan Chesser is a dis tinguished looking woman of early middle age, mothe of two boys. She was wessed ill a-dark. very smart suit over a chiffon blouse cut in deep V in front She wore no jewels. Her small toque was obviously from Paris, and the gloves and furs, which she laid upon the table IS she took her place, were expensive and in perfect taste.
 During the war, Dr. Sloan Chesser was in charge of 27.000 women and girl muni- tion makers at the arsenal at Woolwich. She was responsible for many of the rad- ical methods introduced to prevent the workers taking harm from the deadly T. N. T. It was thanks to her practical introductions and common housewife sense that Woolwich was entirely free of the hideous and dangerous yellow face" the scohrge of the first T. N. T. powder workers Dr. Sloan Chesser origi- mated the famous yellow powder food regime, the obligatory hot baths and the morning pills; and at the end of the war turned her charges over to the authori- ties with 100 per cent health record.

 Dear Sir-The day after I received your letter | wrote MT Madison and requested tary of Navy for berth in the hospital department.
 made this request in such terms as can hardly fail of success. if the thing be practical. As yet I have received no answer. But as our friend R. B. is com ing down to The Reeds on Friday night with your niece Miss Maria Randolph. have desired him to wait on the PrAsi- dent. or to send palicc card requesting an answer to my letter.
 Should he neglect to do this, will write to my friend Richard Brent, and ask the favor of him to do it.
 If I were situated as R. B. and could have personal interviews with these great men of the nation, the little difficulties which always attend epistolary commit nieations would be easily reraoved. The coincidence of my politics with MT Madison's depends entirely upon my conception of his. If, as I believe, he is a true Federalst,-tha is, a friend to the Federal Constitutions: if he is, as be- lieve, neither an enemy to c. B. nor a friend to France. but impartial towards both. and if he is. as am, averse to war and bent on peace. then my politics CO., incide with his. That he is honest and has convinced me, and where I find in- tegrity and talents I am ever wiling to repose confidence.
 As Nancy will write to Lucy bv this opportunity have only to add our kindest wishes for you and your family With great regards. l am, dear sir,

What if in the future some of our let ters dating as far back can be found? There would be the same history of the battle with mind. body and estate" Certainly the high cost of living in these days would fill a volume and our politi- cal history would involve the same rou- tine Of procedure.
