He de- scribes his discovery as place formed like a natural arena. with basaltic col umns rearing upwards on all sides, some of which are 100 feet high. In she bottom of this natural cistern is 8 ielly-liNe substance, which closely re- sembles dirty lard, and which is said to be natural soap or scat" manufae- 5ured by nature, and all ready to be used. It also has been tested, and will, it is said, clean carpets, or greasy stoves and iron work, and has been de- elared by mechanics to be "better than anything they had used"

PIONEERS TAKE ACTION

The Anchorage Igloo of Pioneers in a recent resolution passed by 1haC organization devoted column or two to matters pertaining to tthe Alaska Railroad. One matter touched upon was that of building up tonnage for the road, and increasing develop ment of the sections traversed. With the limited population the road IS undoubtedly handicapped in revenue, and this will continue until a policy of development is outlined by the railway of the government looking to the colonization of the district adja- cent to the road. Already an official has been named to look over the sec tions tributary to the road with way to further colonizing them, each permanent settler being worth many dollars to the railway in freight a. lone. That the road has built up the country traversed to wonder ful degree is shown by the dozens of small towns springing up in favor ed spots ,and by the hundreds of farms cleared, and peopled by con- tented settlers. That this section is not already densely populated is the result of misunderstanding on the part of farmers and truck raisers outside. Rather than being land of ice and snow Alaska is capable of providing homes for several hund- red thousand farmers and stock raj sers, in a climate far less rigid than n the northern states along the Can adian border. The land yields heav- ily in root crops and grains, and all kinds of small fruits and berries may be raised in abundance When the truth about Alaska once becomes known the man and woman who de- sires to live on the fruits of the soil can find unlimited opportunities.
 The Pioneer resolution has not ex- pressed the half of the possibilities existing here if they are once realiz- ed. Living is high in the states and jobs scarce. One can live in Alas ka in comfort by the expenditure of half the effort made in the states. As the country is settled up living conditions become more easy and less onerous. It is to be hoped that the colonization project is carried out to completion.

ALASKAN FAIRS

The recent agricultural fair and in- dustrial exhibit in Anchorage shows the value of these exhibits to the Territory. While the recent exhibit was an unqualified success, it is safe to say that next year the attendance will be much larger and the exhibits much greater in number than this year. The management this season had but short time to work up in- terest and to advertise the event, and despite these drawbacks the financial side of the proposition was very en- couraging, while the advertising is of incalculable value. The recent indus trial exhibit is of great value to the Third division as whole. Anchor age is practically the center of vast farming and mineral area and this combined with the exhibits from other sections assure a wonderful showing of grains, fruits and vege- tables. Next years fair will be watched with interest.

est. With your small capital there
is too much risk in buying without
every safeguard.
Remember that taxes and insur-
ance must be paid regularly when
they are due. You must know that
they are paid, and remember, too,
that the property you lend money on
should be worth considerably more
than you are lending"
What about second mortgages,
Aunty, don't they earn more than first
mortgages?" inquired Ethel.
Sometimes they do. Second mort
cages are good investments under GER
tain conditions. But it is not ad-
visable for an investor of limited
means to buy them. In case the first
mortgage should be foreclosed, the
holder of the second mortgage should
be in a position to protect his inter
ests by being able to buy the first
mortgage. That means you would
have to have money on hand"
"Oh, Aunty," exclaimed Ethel, you
rather frighten me about mortgages"
mo, my dear, don't feel that way"
said Aunt Emmy. Its all matter
Of care and knowledge of conditions.
Even il you don't know about them
yourself, you can protect yourself By
taking the advice Of your bankers.

Websters Life Policy
Had Odd Resfricfions

An interesting relic recently shown
was the life insurance policy issued
September 20, 1874. to Daniel Web
ster. 1t was for 5000, which was
considered large sum in those days,
and carried a premium of 1898. The
policy mentions certain restrictive
clauses. If Daniel wanted to visit a
large city, Washington included, or
journey west of the Mississippi river,
he had to get permission of the COM
pany and pay extra.
But Webster did not go into the
wilds west Of the Mississippi. He
never had much use for that country,
anyhow. The Idea of the insurance
company in imposing the limitations
was that smallpox was likely to be
epidemic in the large cities. while the
Indians were the hazard of the West
Webster was also advised that If he
died in a duel, was hanged or killed

there would be no money for the

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
On Investing in Mortgages

Aunt Emmy, what do you think Of
mortgages as investments asked
Ethel.
First mortgages, generally speak
ing. are sound investments, but not
all first mortgages are good" Aunt
Emmy replied. "You must exercise
care and discretion. II you know all
about the property, or il you are deal
ing with financial concern that has
a reputation for success and honesty,
you should be safe. But it is well to
seek advice before investing. Go to
your bank, talk the whole thing over
and be guided by their advice. Real
estate transactions are tricky. Better
be safe than sorry. II there is any
question as to party walls or II the
building on property should be even
few inches over the lot line, you
would undoubtedly have trouble.
Even guaranteed mortgages should
not be bought on faith. Never buy a
mortgage without knowing the value
of the real estate 1t covers and of the
property in the vicinity. Be sure
good lawyer looks out for your inter.
