tons of white arsenic per year.
Uses Of Arsenic.
Arsenic compounds are used in in
dustries for making dyes and wood
personalities, and as a means of re-
moving hair from hides in tanning;
they are used to decolorize glass and
to harden shot, and as an alloy to
harden certain metals. Railroads use
large quantities as a weed killer and
stock raisers also use considerable
amounts in sheep dips for killing ticks
and preventing FOOT rot. II is used as
the basis of Paris green as an insecti-
eide on valuable crops Incidentally
it is used in the form of 'Fowler's Sol
uation to fatten horses. and. although
from two to four grains are fatal, it
has many valuable medi-
cinal uses. White arsenic is on the
free list while calcium arsenate has
an ad valorem Of 25 per cent. This
should be removed"
Plant in Salt Lake City.
In anticipation Of the great demand
for arsenic plans have already been
carried out to partially meet it, as will
be seen by the following extract from
The Engineering and Mining Journal
Press of January 20. 1923:
THE feature of the arsenic indus

price from about 7c per pound in
April to about 1870 in December. This
appreciation was due to the ravages

GOSSIP

Gossip IS one of the cardinal sins. It Is not a single act like murder, which stops one life and falls back to punish the offender; it is tle breath of the Devil, soiling every ear it touches. 1t is the most deadly of poisons. It blights many lives; it smites the innocent with the guilty.
 Recently, a mother estranged from her family, ended her life because gossip-ground- less vicious gossip-had cut her off from those who were dearest in all the world to her.
 Those who murdered first the happiness of woman, and then the life, went scot free No punishment in this world, unless they have conscences, can touch them. But we believe that when the final judgment comes, tLosc who spread the gossip which killed good name and nappiness-and life-will meet the same punishment as that visited upon the sons of Cain.
 Dr. Howard Eager a Baptist minister in Baltimore, told this story, which is an Italian legend:
 In the old days, peasant confessed to priest that he had slandered an innocent man. The priest said to him, "F'or your penance do this now: Take bag of chicken down. Go to every yard in the town and drop one bit of down into each garden. Do not miss one yard. When you have finished, return to me, y
 The sinner believed his punishment was light With his bag of down he made the circuit of the village and carefully dropped one soft feather into each garden. Then he re- ported to the priest, saying: "I have done my penance."
 ''No, my son. repield the old abbe, "You will not have done you penance until you take the bag, go again on your rounds, collect every feather you have dropped and bring it here to me''
 The gossip protested that it would be i'm possible: he could not find the bits of down in d lifetime; many of them had blown far away.
 ''So 1t is with gossip,' replied the old priest. "It is easily dropped But never again, no matter how hard you try, can you gather back the words you have so thoughtlessly scat tered.'

COL. STEESE IN CHARGE

The designation of Col Steese, of the Alaska Road Commission, to succeed Col Mears in administration of the Government Railway, while coming somewhat as surprise, IS move by the Government which bears every evidenced of being well-advised In the relief of Col Mears, whose splendid work in the difficult task he has had to perform comes to its close with the completion of the new railroad line, highly capable and efficient officer is granted just and due recognition. From the years of untiring effort Col Mears has put into the building of the Alaska Rail road there has come to him nationwide approaching of the engineering and executive capacity of a high degree with which he has met the demands of the situation. With the entitled to promotion to other fields where his capacity may find equal opportunity.
 From now on the conduct of the new rail way line will be largely one of upEeep and business administration, tasks for the exc cution of which Col. Steese has already demon strated his fitness in his work on the Alaska Road Commission. In the necessity for wagon roads and trails as feeders to the railway, il is especially fitting that the work of the Road Commission should be co-ordinated with that Of the railway The plan IS III every way practicable efficient and economical, and its execution is one for which Col. Steese, and his associates Major Gotwals, are exception ally well equipped. The recent efforts of Col. Steose to have adequate appropriations made for tue construction sof roads and trails in Alaska promise to be successful With a million dollars available this year. and a possible ten millions within the next two years if the Territory is included in the Federal Highway Act, the Alaska Road Confusion will he abundantIv provided. Under the admin istration of Col. Steese and in coordination with the Government Railway, the develop ment of what Alaska needs above everything else-good results-is assured. The Territory is to be congratulated upon move that is at once great tribute to the head of the Alaska Road Commission, and the most heartening promise that has yet been accorded to Alaska.

BUILDING RAILWAY TO
 CONNECT TWO OIL FIELDS

MONROE, La, Feb. 17.-Work is being pushed in the construction of the Smachover Oil Field Short Line Railroad which will connect the Smachover oil fields of Southern Ar kansas and the old fields of north central Louisiana with the Ouachita River and the Rock Island Railroad.
 A company capitalized at S1,200, GOO is behind the project. The line will be 34 miles long. Starting in the Smackover fields it will run south through the Ouachita and Union fields of Louisiana and terminate at Gallon, La. This road, it was stated, will relieve the congestion in the oil fields and give transportation outlets by water and rail. A large part of the oil will find it's way to New Orleans by the Ouachita River barge service.

PROLONGING ALASKA TOURIST SEASON

This year the transcontinental railroads are arranging to sell round trip excursion tickets to the Pacific Coast from May 1, instead of as previously from May 15. This will have tle effect of starting the tourist business to Alaska earlier than in previous years. The stean,- ship companies have arranged to schedule their> departing steamers to the north earlier than usual, as they realize that often May is one of the most delightful months in the year for tourists to explore the north. The fact was apparent last year, when May and June were possibly the warmest and brightest months of the entire summer. This season should not only prove attractive to the eastern
 tourist but should appeal with equal force to the residents of the Pacific Coast. Better accommodations are then available, as traffic is not so congested as during July and Aug ust, when traffic to the northern cline is at its height. As the wonders of Alaska are better known there will be increased thousands to avail themselves of the opportunity to view the marvellous scenic beauties during sea- son that will extend from May 1 to the end
 of September. And the pleasures and sports of winter that are so greatly enjoyed in the
