ROAD FUNDS IN DANGER

Efforts will be made to induce the Legislature to make special appropriations for roads which have been consider inadvisabe by the Alaska Road Commission because there are many primary projects such trails and road improvements into mining and other centres where there is little if any communication with the Alaska Railroad Any appropriation which has for its purpose the opening of specific region to and development merits consideration but roadways not having this object in view and which looked upon as merely agencies for the expenditure of money in given community should be drowned upon There were instances where this was done last year, the only benefit accrng being to the in divdual legislative sponsors for the project
 Alaska has of the best road construction agencies in the nation in the Alaska Road Commission. Its func
 ons are limited only by appropriations from Congress When this agency with it's of data at hand and full grasp of the needs of the Territory decline to consider costly stretches of road that do not all the purposes for which roads constructed it would appear the en- terprise does not carry merit
 Every time the road funds dipped into for poti Lelslaure to begin projects to ultimately cost hundred thousand dollars more, is bad.

SPEAKING OF SPEECH

We do not usually pay very much attention to the many special weeks which set aside for this or that purpose still it is not amss to give serious consideration to the movement throughout the nation for employment of better English sponsored by the General Federation of Woman's Clubs.
 It is notorious that the American people careless in speech both with respect to choice of words and gram matcal construction information and meditation. Many who have fairly comprehensive vocabulary mar their discourse through faulty dction while few, indeed impeccable in pronunciation.
 We'll spoken English is a beautiful language, yet in these days of rapdre progress the average person is apt to consider speed than euphony, transforming what might be pretty phrase into something like pack age of re-crackers exploding and crowdng the entire effort thru the nostrs to the ignoring of the vocal chords
 Considering the difficulty of mastering the English language and the comparatively slight stress placed upon it by our schools it is wonder that this is Lan guages such Spanish and French which accorded praise for their beauty find their charm in moda tion than to structure of worlds
 But correct speech is worth striving for if only to en- able to better appreciate the ncongres of the perpe trators of our comic English
 It is evident, now that Congress has adjourned that Seward got what she always got before NOTHING.
 Perhaps the change in chiefs of the Biological Sur vey in May Seward may be able to get game warden stationed here.

JAMES MURRAY TAXES OPTION ON
 CACHE CK. DREDCE
WILL MOVE PLANT TO POINT THREE MILES DOWN CREEK
 WHERE PAY IS GOOD

 mine operators of Central Alaska, and one of the biggest operators on Cache creek, has taken an option on the Dredge which has been operating on upper Cache for many years, and will move the plant to a point three miles down the creek, where good pay is known to exist, according to an nouncement made by MT. Murray when he passed through Seward a few days ago.
 The action means at least ten years longer life for dredge operations on Cache creek, which has produced many millions of dollars both from dredging and hydraulic operations.
 For the past several seasons the company owning the dredge has leas- ed it to operators. Two seasons ago 1t was leased by White and Harris, who are said to have split some $75,000 profit on the season. Last year it was under lease to Englehorn and associ- ates, who had very successful sea- son until they broke a spud and were compelled to close down near the end of the season.
 The dredge is now at point at the extreme upper end of the creek, and owing to the ground growing more shallow ground was encountered last year which materially handicapped operations, yet it is claimed ground running as low as six cents yard was worked through without loss. Last year MT. Murray completed deal for much of the ground hither- to held by the dredge company, along with much side pay which the outfit could not reach, and in addition ac- uuired other valuable holdings. Du- ring last season he operated on Mug get creek, tributary to Cache, and also operated a giant and tailing stack CT few hundred yards above dredge headouarters in ground which is said to have paid handsomely.
 The acquisition of the dredge by MT. Murray settles the question of it's future, and guarantees to the enter nrise at least ten years longer life and the maintenance of continued out put from this rich district. Improved transportation facilities, including a roadway now extending l from Talkeetna, a distance of approx l imately 50 miles to the dredge head quarters. serves materially to lessed the cost of hauling in supplies both winter and summer.
 The dredge is equipped with hy- droelectric power plant and all neces- sary buildings, constituting complete camp, where Yentna post office is also located.
 MT. Murray announced that several engineers had made inquiries about the district lying to the west of Cache creek, including Fairview mountain, where Matt Huggar, Frank Irwin, Pat Collins and others have found pay, and where dredging operations are said to be ideal, including water power, timber and immense seams of |high-grade Ignite coal.
 Matt Huggar, who made strike on
 Mills creek, below Fairview mountain, last season, writes that a number of
 Fairbanks miners contemplate going into the district on the spring thaw, when others now holding creeks in the district will also take in supplies for +ho c,,ra n, or,c nrornfi0na

Things You Should Know
DIABETEH

Ny object in writing this article
is to 30 acquaint my reader with
tie symptoms of the disease, that
lie will recognize them, and con-
suit a physician at once; otherwise
the diabetes may reach a very diff
fcult stage to handle, without ex-
citing apprehension on the part Of
the patient.
TO begin with, diabetes is not a
kidney disease, though its first
manifestations appear in that quar-
ter. The patient notices at first,
very great over-action of the kid
neys, with output as clear as water
in the majority of cases; it may
reach one, two or three gallons in
quantity per day. An inorGnate
craving for sweets may be noticed;
severe constipation is the rule.
though not constant-many people
are constipated without having
diabetes. Then, there is "prog-
ressive feebleness"- the growing
weaker and weaker, without appar-
ent cause. / once saw a strong
man begin to grow weak-"tired"
all the time with no exertion to
cause it; his limbs ached so much
that he fancied he had rheumatism.
Asked about his kidneys, he assert
ed that "they had never in life
acted so well, two gallons or more
a dayw This man died within
three months-of diabetes, the dis
ease having advanced too far to be
remediable by any means known at
that time, about twenty years ago.
Whenever this feebleness sets in,
and the patients muscles begin to
grow fabby with loss of flesh, and
the kidney discharge is increasing
rapidly, with constipation and
craving for sweets, and for moro
and more water than is naturally
required, it is best to have the
physician make an analysis of the
renal evacuation, which in health
amount; to about fifty ounces a day
in the adult. No delay should be
countenanced or INDUCED. The
physician of today knows how to
handle diabetes, the treatment of
which would be out of place here.
