A Timely Suggestion

This is the season of the year
when the prudent and careful
housewife replenishes her supply of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
is almost certain to be needed be-
fore the winter is over and re-
suits are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at
hand and given as soon as the
first indication of cold appears
and before it has become settled
in the system. There is no danger
in giving it to children as it con-
tains no opium or other harmful
drug.

MINERS EXPECT S@OO,OOO
 OUTPUT FROM CHANDLAR

An allotment of $2O,OOO from the Territorial Road funds for the con struction of road from Caro, on the Chaudlar river. to Big Creek in the ChandIar mining district is ask ed by the miners in the district, ac- cording to an announcement made this morning by Territorial Secretary Karl Theile. who is also secretary of the Territorial Road commission. The petition states that during the present season approximately $2O0,- 900 will be taken out of the district
 The lack of roads is given by the miners as the prir.e cause for the failure of the district to produce a much larger amount from its placer diggings at the present time In ad- dition to paying a high freight rate to have supplies and mining machiu- cry landed at Caro. which is of the regular Yukon river steamer route. it costs them Is cents a pound to land freight from Caro at the dig gings.
 This excessive freight cost handi- caps many claim owners who are unable to go ahead with operations on that account It is claimed that the district could produce at least S4OO,OOO this season if transpurta- tion facilities were such that req sonable freight rates could be ob- tained.
 The sum asked for from the ter ritory, however, is more than the legislative appropriation for the en- tire fourth division for this year. For the two-year period, I92I-l922. the legislative appropriation for each division was but $3O.OOO. Ter ritorial funds, therefore, for the pro ject are not now ayailable.-Empire

PRIBLOFF FOXES FOR
 BREEDING STOCK

Interesting itself in the needs of the fur farmer and prospective fur farmers the Biological Survey has obtained arrangements by the Bur eau of Fisheries whereby Pribiloff Island blue foxes for breeding stock may be more readily obtained by private operators for infusing new blood into farms already established or for original stocking. The Pribi- lofI blue foxes are generally con- ceded to be the best stock and many parties have desired to obtain breed ing animals from these islands
 Arrangements have been made for a limited number Of 1922 pups to be delivered at Unalaska the fall of 1922 for SITS per animal. So far as is possible efforts are to be made to connect with the regular mail steamer Starr at Unalaska so that there may be the minimum delay in reshipping to destination. In addi- ton arrangements are being made for satisfactory care of the animals at Unalaska. and the Biological Sur vey representative, Donald H. Stew euson. with Headquarters at that point, will do all in his power to render assistance in facilitating par ties obtaining animals.
 Requests for animals may be made direct to the Bureau of Fisheries, Washington. D. C., office or through the Biological Survey Washington or Juneau offices. Af.er arrangements are complete for the number of ami mals to be delivered, arrangements for payment and delivery will be with NIT. A. H. Proctor, superintend- ent of the Pribilofr Islands.
 Doubtless the best arrangements for parties desiring foxes would be for several to join in sending one representative to Unalaska 10 meet pay for, and receive the foxes, and accompany them to their destina- ton. The Biological Survey repre- sentatives will be glad to assist in bringing parties into touch with each other who desire to undertake such arrangements.
