grasses, vegetables and small fruits of the temperate zone lie close to the rails of the transportation sys- tenn. A mill at Fairbanks turns northern wheat into flour of high grade quality.
 The railroad itself is remarkable for its feats of engineering. Steel is laid upon shelves chiseled from mountain sides, stretches across gla- cial tundras and passes through deep cuts in solid rock. Some of the longest bridges ever swung into place span giant rivers so turbu- lent as to prelude the use of chan nel piers, and cross gorges and gulches of abyssmal depths.
 Plains, rolling hills and tower ing mountains vary the inland view Trains pass in the shadow of Mount Mckinley, loftiest peak on the North American and European continents
 The waters of the North teen with fish, and the vast stretches of open and timbered country abound with countless kinds of wild life.
 In the summer, the tourist season daylight Is almost continuous and the rays of sun that sinks below the horizon only few hours lends to vegetation a luxuriance known nowhere else. Wild flowers, infinite in variety and unsurpassable in the brillancy of their colors, flow in profusion everywhere.
 Trains are equipped with dining and sleeping cars. To travellers are available every convenience of ov- erland transportation, while the attractions of the Northland are without competition.
 In seeing America, tourists may well go to Alaska first.

MANY TO VISIT ALASKA

As a result of President Harding's contemplated trip to Alaska, the northern Territory recently has re- ceived more publicity than any O. ther part Of America says the Se- attle Times. The Northland next summer will be visited by more tourists than ever before in it's history. Officials ot the Government Railroad and residents in towns g. long the line of the transportation system are preparing for the re- ception of a great host of travellers
 According to cable messages, grounds at the railway stations, will be turned into miniature parks and at the terminals, Seward on the Coast and Fairbanks in the Interior, even more pretentious improve ments will be made. For instance at Fairbanks a two story station will be erected and 3 block of old structures will be razed and the site transformed into a pretty place of landscape.
 But the stations, no matter how painstaking the efforts to beautify them, must remain rather incon- spicuous, beside the innumerable marvels that at once amaze and charm visitors to the Northland. The scenic beauties of the Inland Pas sage are unrivaled in the world. Wooded mountains rise high on either side of deep placid water ways. Narrow channels open at time into wide expenses revealing vistas that appear more like pretty fan tasies than natures realities. The rugged coastline of Gulf of Alaska IS majestic in its grandeur. At places in the southwestern par- of the Territory tides attain height of thirty-three feet.
 The Government Railroad, with 467 miles of main line and seventy three of branches, penetrates Amer ica's treasure vault and the wonder land of the continent. Extensive fields of coal and rich deposits of gold abound along the right of way. Farm lands yielding all the grains,

BONE IS HOST
 AT INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE

More than 40 persons took a scenic trip through Alaska with NJ. B. Summers at the Governors Man sion recently, members of the leg islature and friends who were guests of Gov. and Mrs. Scott c. Bone. Dr. C. C. Calvert, of the Weather Bureau, made a short talk on the weather of Alaska re- ports the Empire.
 In arriving at the value of riches Alaska has poured into the lap of the United States, something in ex- cess of S1, 100000 said Dr. Cal vert, there has been left out some thing as valuable if not more so, than any other Alaskan product, and that is Alaskan weather. He de- scribed briefly the work of the bu- reau's stations in Alaska under MT. Summers by means of which storms sweeping down from the north a. cross Canada and the West, or down from the Gulf of Alaska through the Northwestern States, are ac- curately forecast. The warnings is- sued from these forecasts, he said, have been the means of saving mil lions of dollars of perishables and growers of fruits, vegetables etc. The storms themselves, bringers of cold weather and snow. are harbin- gers of good and assure more boun- tiful crops. he said. MT. Summers took his audience from Juneau to nearby glaciers. the top of Mt. Rob- erts, Cordova, over the trail through Keystone Canyon at Valdez to Pax son. south of Isabelle Pass on the Richardson Highway; then back to the coast and by water to Seward and out over the Alaska Railroad to the famous loop section; down the Alaska Peninsula posts, Indian villages, seal harems in the Pribilof Island rockeries, in the field where the seal are killed; north to Nome to a fourth of July celebration across the straits to Siberia, visit ing Aandyr and vicinity; back by the little and big Diomedes up the northwestern coast of Alaska by Teller, Wainwright, to Point Barrow returning south and up the Yukon River by St. Michael, Holy Cross, Panama, Eagle, Dawson and White horse; a glimpse of Whitehorse Rapids and Miles Canyon concluding the voyage.
 As the scenes were thrown on the screen, Mir. Summers gave a running narrative descriptive of each. The collection is well arranged and contains many fine photographs
 After the entertainment was con- cluded, delicious punch and cake were served to the guests.

TERM FOR POLITICAL CUNNING
Italian Genius Gave Name to What
Might Be Called Inscriptions
Craftsmanship.

"Machiavellian" is term for po-
litical cunning, duplicity or bad faith,
because NiccOlo Machiavelli, an Ital-
ian statesman and historian, held as
one of his principles that any means,
however lawless or INSCRIPTIONS.
might be justifiably employed by a
ruler in order TO maintain strcng
central government. He produced
among other works a treatise on gov
eminent called THE Prince" the prin-
ciples of which have gained for him 2
notoriety as wide as the civilized
world.
Briefly. Machiavelli's political doc
trines maintained justification of the
means by the end. The ruler or prince
was to retain and augment his power:
and TO do so he might be an adept at
misleading his opponents and getting
rid of them. The interests of the state,
represented by the ruler. were held 10
he above all laws or virtues, and the
despotism of the prince was TO be
maintained by cunning and Upre-
strained by morality.

MOON is NOT DEAD WORLD
Prove Astronomers Have Long
Held Wrong Idea.

Astronomers cling TO the old idea
that the moon is dead world, desti-
tute alike of air and water. But recent
observations of w. II. Pickering, made
at Vaudeville, Jamaica, go TO show that
many changes occur with the alterna-
ton Of lunar day and night. Great
snow fields form in the mountain val
leys, and then melt away; fog banks
are seen and, very rarely, drifting
clouds. The loftiest peaks are snow
capped. The moons surface is pitted
with volcanic craters; some of these
measure 100 miles across. Each crater
is surrounded by mountain ring 1000
TO 10000 feet in height.
According 10 Pickering, there are
few, if any, such large and continuous
ly active volcanic regions upon the
surface of the earth. But the activity
of the lunar volcanoes is now confined
TO the quiet emission of steam jets.
like those found in Yellowstone Ma
tional park. Certain variable dark
areas on the moon may be due TO yege-
tation.

REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME
Overwhelming Proof That Finger
Prints Undergo No Change Dur
ing Lifetime of Individual.

The finger print is a scientific method
of identification. A movement is afOot
in Michigan for a statewide registra-
ton system under which every one
would be fnger-printed. 1t is also
planned by the government TO establish
a central bureau of Identification with
national registration. 1t is deduced
that prints are more permanent than
the body itself, as PSYCHOLOGISTS tell US
that the tissues of the entire body
change once in about seven years, but
whorls, curves and lines of the
papilla always are renewed in con-
formity with the lines of childhood.
After an attack of scarlet fever the
cuticle peeled off of a child's fingers
AS an experiment prints were made.
They were found 10 be just the same
us those made before the sickness. A
man CHANGED 10 burn his fingers. They
were badly bliStered. After the blisterS
broke and the outer layer of the skin
came off he made fnger-prints each
day until the fingers were completely
healed The ridges grew gradually
until they made the same sharp prints
that they had made before the acct
dent.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful IN overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first TO test this
great preparation send ten cents TO DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

a wooden house the vines should not
be permitted TO become so thick that
they prevent proper ventilation and

There are several devices for grow

them from the woodwork when it is
necessary to paint the house. A trellis

When the season is long and hot,
with very little rainfall, the cottage
gardener, if thoroughly interested,
takes advantage Of almost every OPP
portunity TO play the hose on his
growing crops, thinking, Of course
that he is doing just the right thing.
Perhaps more young plants are de-
stroyed by shooting a cold spray OF
water on them than are killed or
stunted by drought. or other reason.
One splendid method of watering a
garden, when sufficient water is avail
able, and its metered cost is not to
be considered, is the trench irrigation
plan. Small bitches, three or four
inches deep, along the plants, with a
steady stream of water slowly run
ming into the ditch, will be highly
beneficial, and at the same time con-
serve the water supply, by not send
ing it where ii is not needed. The
roots, especially in the dry weather,
search for moisture and continue
their downward growth. Long roots
are advantageous to many plants,
while others do not need them.
The ditch irrigation plan will be
found most beneficial and interesting,
if used as il is in sections where it
is the only way-a series Of bitches
along each row or a small group of
rows. then when the watering is be-
ing done, train the stream through
one ditch TO the other, until the entire
garden is given a good soaking.
During long drought, once a week
will suffice when the ditch watering
plan is used. The ditch may be closed
each time after irrigating, or it may
be left open. By closing. the water
is practically sealed in End naturally
