W. ]. A. ID START DRAINAGE WORK IN
 PEORIA DISTRICT

More than $5O,00O worth Of drain age work is to be done immediately in the Peoria district by the Water Users association. Announcement to this effect was made last evening by F. c. Henshaw, secretary, following meeting of the board of governors of the association.
 At ia special meeting of the board yesterday, a supplement- agreement was entered into with Carrick and Mangham, contractors, whereby the funds needed to complete the work will be advanced by the contractors who, in turn, waive all right as-to location of the drainage wells. Approval of the secretary of interior to the sup plemental agreement is necessary be- fore the work can be started but this is merely a formal step, it was an nounced, inasmuch as he has already approved the contract with Carrick and Mangham.
 Last June the Water Users associa- tion entered into an agreement with Carrick mad Mangham whereby they. the contractors, agreed to drain the entire west end of the project in ex- change for rights to all drainage and surplus waters west of the Agua Fria river. Under the terms of that con tract they agreed to have the entire drainage system completed within a period of IS months. A supplement tai agreement was reached some time later wherein the contractors were granted a three months extension of time.
 In the Peoria district, however, there is need for immediate drainage relief It was for this reason that the board | yesterday entered into a supplemental agreement with the contractors. Sev- eral hundred acres of land in that dis | trict are already water-logged. 1 At least three drainage wells and possibly more will be sunk by the | Water Users association under the supplemental agreement. The money needed to carry on the work will be advanced by the contractors. it being agreed that the association alone shall
 have the power of location, to be sunk where they will do the most good. Work on the wells will be started as
 soon as the contractors can com plete construction of a siphon under
 the Agua F'ria river. This work vii

MORE E. R. SERVICE
 IS GIVEN PHOENIX

The Arizona Eastern here has been favored with more railroad accomn1o- dations. Phoenix has been assigned space in the San Antonio car. One now can take the through sleeper at Maricopa on the Sunset limited train and not have to get up at 3:S0 in the morning.
 Phoenix also has been allotted two sections in the Globe sleeper, and passengers can leave Phoenix Sun days. Tuesdays and Fridays on the evening train and wake up in Globe the next morning at o'clock. These assignments of space, together with the Golden State limited service to Chicago, will give Phoenix better service than heretofore.

by way of Seward and Nenana was a thing bound to come, if not this year, at least next year. It is to be regretted that it did come at this time and with such short notice. The service last year, however, be- tween Fairbanks and Chitina was not wholly satisfactory. But even If there were no excuse at all for changing the route, the change does not furnish sufficient reason for con demning the railroad as a liability and an injury to all of Alaska. There may be ground for criticism Iof acts of railroad construction of ficials; there may be cause for criti- cism as to the method of construc- ton; but surely Alaskans will not sanction the assertion that the rail road has not done and will never do the Territory any good.

PROTECTING FISH.

Many suggestions are forthcoming regarding the salvation of the Alas ka fisheries. As rule, says the Seattle Alaska Dispatch. these sug- gestions come from scientists, fly casters and big game hunters.
 There are sound, hard-headed and practical men on the coast and in Alaska who would and could devise ways and means for protection of Alaska fisheries. Coming to mind quickly, suggests the Seattle publica- tion, are such men as J. R. Hickman of Ketchikan. B. M. Behrends of Juneau, Mir. Kendall of the Ameri- can Can company of Portland. D. W.

TO ADVERTISE ALASKA.

Bureau officials at Washington are to be warmly commended, says the Cordova Times, for the decision that large sum is to be appropriated for advertising Alaska, as in no other manner can the travelling pub lie be attracted. This has been amply proved by the many American and Canadian steamship lines oper- ating to and from Alaska who have collectively during the past twenty years expended three million dollars in advertising scenic attractions and industrial opportunities of the North land. Naturally one cannot expect to hear that the Government would appropriate a proportionate sum an- nually for any such purpose, but any expenditure in the populous cen ters of the East cannot help but attract attention to the Territory, and at the same time it will be help full to the Territory in many other ways. The greatest care, however, should be used by those who prepare these advertisements, to prevent any rush to the North of indigents, la borers or others not possessing small amount of capital with which to provide for their own needs; oth- erwise the Government would be greatly embarrassed in having to send ship North to bring such people out. For years past, Alaska advertising has ever discouraged this particular class from moving north ward. Conditions are so unlike any other country that the only people desired from an industrial viewpoint are those possessed of either the ability or capital to invest and then develop. To advertise the scenic at fractions for the tourists and then the wonderful opportunity for le- gitimate investment and industrial development will prove of the great est possible benefit to the Territory at large ".. .*

AN ASSET TO ALASKA.

It is an undoubted fact that the railway now building has hurt Alas ka as whole, instead of hcnefting the Territory. A few towns along the route have been benefited, but everything that could be pulled to these towns from the other localities has been given them. Even with this help there must result an enor- nous deficit once the road is in operation. This will necessitate fur ther inroads on the industries and payrolls of the other towns, as in stanced by the recent routing of the Interior mails via Seward and An chorage. Any oldtimer who knows anything at all knows that the mail can leave Cordova and be nearly to Fairbanks by the time the steamship reaches Seward. But the object $ to help the railroad.-Valdez Miner.
 Just why an Alaskan newspaper, one, too, published in a town which is not even remotely connected with the project, should deliberately as- sume that the Alaskan railroad be- ing constructed by the Government is territorial liability is hard for the editor of the Alaska {Juneau) Daily Empire to understand. If it has taken any enterprise away from other sections of Alaska, that fact has been fairly we'll concealed.
 It can be fairly said, continues

the Empire, that Anchorage and
 Nenana are towns built by the rail- road. They are purely railroad
 towns. But neither, so far as is known, has taken away any industry established before the project was launched from any other Alaskan town. Some criticism was occasion ed because construction headquar- ters were not established at Fair banks, in the Interior, and Seward on the coast end, not because Ne mana took anything that Fairbanks had, nor Anchorage robbed Seward ;of her industries, but because the railroad industry was not added to those already possessed by the two towns.
 To assert, however, that the build- ing of the railroad has hurt the Territory instead of aiding it, is stating the case with utmost unfair ness. Had it not been for the con- struction work carried on by the Alaskan Engineering commission dur ing the past three years, hundreds of men and their families would have been forced to seek employ ment in the States. Anyone who has kept track of events in Interior Alaska and to the Westward and is familiar with the facts knows that such is the case. It has afforded employment that could not have been obtained from any other source. It has expended million of dollars, great portion of it in Alaska, that has helped keep the Territory alive in times that even the most optimistic cannot say have been prosperous. And these are but inn mediate benefits.
 It is the opening up of hitherto untouched part of Alaska. It is making possible development of an immense area of country along ra- tional lines. It is laying substan- tial groundwork for the future. Un- doubtedly it will be operated at a deficit for many years, but the defi- cit will decrease each year until it is wiped out.
 The construction of the railraod is an expression of the Federal Gov ernment's faith in the future of Alaska. Alaskans at least should have equal confidence in that future. Most of them have, and prove it by remaining with their investments, or sticking to their jobs, satisfied that even though the present generation does not see the fulfllment of their vision of a Greater Alaska, their children in the generations to follow will not only see it, but will share generously in the reward of their faith and work.

SHORE LINE TOWNS CANNOT
 EXPECT TROLLEY SERVICE

A despatch from Hartford Friday said:
 The last glimmer of hope that something would happen to bring about service on the Shore Line cleo tric railway, which has not been op- erating some of it's lines since July, 1919, seems to have vanished with the announcement that the Connecticut company, which was said to have made an offer to the Shore Line com pany for operating it's lines, will have nothing whatsoever to do with the Shore Line.
 There is nothing doing in our try ing to operate more lines. We have troubles enough" said President Storrs of the Connecticut company Friday when asked about the report that his company was seeking to 'op- crate the Shore Line
 This means that there will be no trolley service at all along the shore for stretch of at least 40 miles, be- tween Flanders Corners. in East Lyme, and Stony Creek. nor between Chester and Old Saybrook.
 There is no hope that the Shore Line will operate in this section. R. w Perkins receiver for the line, said Friday that he "yalued the lines at what they would bring for junk During 1918 the Shore Line was. piline up deficit at the rate. of 5000 per month, he said.

Friday at noon, an interesting meeting was held at the Norwich Woolen Mills under Y. M. c, A. aus pices. The first few minutes were oc- cupied by the singing of several pop ular songs accompanied by cornet and baritone, after which Rev. E. A. Legg addressed the large company on the topic. Money Talks. The speaker said in part: Oftimes during an argu- ment, you hear one say, We'll, money. talks. This is an easy way out of an argument. In a sense, however, mon eyr does talk, for you can tell some times the character of anby the way he spends his money. When a man spends his mohey foolishly or for that which does him harm, mon ey says, I am ashamed of you. why don't you spend me for things that are useful instead of wasting me to no good. Money also says good things; when we spend money for food and clothing, it says, Well done, I am proud of you for spending ne wisely. We are hearing these days about building your own homo, and that is certainly good advice, for when family lives in it's own home happiness is enhanced and everyone who possibly can should own his own home. We should, however, aiways remember that this is not our abid- ing place; we are journeying from this to another country, and we will not be here very long. Our future home depends absolutely on the way we behave in this world, therefore fl behooyes us to live as we should here.
 After the address another popular song was enjoyed and the audience l of employees went to their work with a song on their lips and in their hearts.

Building Strength
 After Grip Or Pneumonia

One of the best known professional men in New York Chis name will be given on request) says,-"After an acute attack of typhoid pneumonia, had racking cough and lost twenty pounds in eleven days. never was so completely run down in my life. was about to go to a hospital when I began to take Father Johns Medicine, which, after I had taken it faithfully, restored me to sound health. I regained flesh that I had lost and have since been as well as ever in my life. I have since learned that my physician has been in the habit of prescribing Father John's Medicine in such cases"
 For the getting well stage after grip or an attack of any serious disease, no better strength-builder can be found than Father Johns Medicine, because tits elements are pure and wholesome food, which is easily taken up by the weakened system and promptly turned into new, vital strength. It is safe tonic for all the family because it does
 not contain alcohol or any dangerous
 drugs in any form. It's merit is proven by more than sixty years of eyer-in- creasing success.
