This same remedy is a true specific for obesity. It vanishes like the dew before the sun. and 1t is so simple and inex- pensive: you are even paid for get ting rid of it.

The liquid forms of the fruit and cereals have been taboo here for many years and was the cause of considerable decrease in tonnage. but it has helped our bank accounts and improved our health. Now that we have touched prohibition. let us go back to ton mage. If the question was. what would the tonnage be if transporta- tion facilities were provided, a reas enable estimate can be given from actual attempts to bring tonnage into this section. Tn the early days attempts were made to open up the upper part of the Kougarok river. As it was a physical impossi- bility to haul heavy machinery in the summer time. they conceived the idea of doing 1t in the winter time 30 or more horses were brought in and stables built along the line. During half of the win- ter on account of storms and cold the stock stood in the barns eating their heads off and the teamsters getting paid for taking care of them During the other half of the winter half of the stock were busy keeping the road open and the other half hauled the tonnage. Sometimes it was gotten there and sometimes not Two dredges were brought in in this way and 10 miles of pipe and other supplies. In spite of this tremendous ex- pense, with war prices added to it, some of these concerns worked out their ground and made it pay, but the margin of profit under such conditions was not large enough to encourage them to take on new enterprises with such tre-- mendous odds against them and still showing favorable end re- suits are certainly worth of encour- agement.

SMITH SPEAKS AT ST. PAUI.

St. Paul, Sept. 2S. (R-..-After the crowd damned into the Muni- .cipal Auditorium. roaring its ap- proval of Al Smith, the Governor tore into the republican opposition on three scores: Farm relief, In land waterway development and immigration. Time and time again, despite the appeals of Gov ,ernor Smith to his audience, not to eat up radio time with demon strations, the nominee was inter- rupted with cheers. He repeatedly provoked gales of laughter as he .chided various republican leaders and resorted to mimicry to put over his points, plainly enjoying himself.
 An enthusiastic response was stirfsdcup by the Governor when he emphasized his endorsement of the principle of the McNary-Hau- gen farm Relief Bill. He classed Hoover as it's foe and assailed Hoover for not offering a farm re- lief program to the administration. Speaking. as to waterway favelops ment. Smith reiterated his willing ness to be guided by the findings of the engineers as to the best route between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic. He also assailed the administration on account of it's failure to make adequate appro- -priations for the Mississippi hood control He charges the republi- cans with conducting a whispering campaign to the effect that he favored letting down the immigra- tion bars. He asserted that the democrats stood for restrictions but merely urged changes in the law to minimize the hardships caused by separating some mem hers of families from others. The lights went out twice during his speech. It was estimated that the attendance was thirteen thousand.

hOu8aTOk, Sept. If, 1os Q Editor Nome Nugget.
 Dear Sir
 It Is rumored here that the tram- way question is still active and that tEe authorities wish to know what is wanted in the Kougarok section, why We should have it. and how much production and tonnage we have. There must be new man at the bat as our wants during the past 20 years La>. been SC uttered f.om Nome to Juneau and on Q Washington and back again. They are regular circuit riders. It ap- pears that they are gaining momen- tum and we hope they will soon strike sympathetic ears, and it will do no harm to repeat them.
 What do We want We want the tramway extended from shelton toward Taylor and Candle. because it is the only feasible road to build over the tundra. the cheapest to build and maintain. and will give us the lowest freight rate. Why should We have 1t? We should have 1t because the geologists indi- cated that the Kougarok is highly mineralized and the prospectors have proven it to be so and that it contains several minerals. partic- ularly gold. tin and copper. We should have 1t in order to develop the country and give work to men and machinery and take out the minerals so indispensable to the stabilization of business the world over. We should and must have such a road because this section can be devloped in no other way on account of the prohibitive cost of transportation.
 What's the production? There can be no material production with out tonnage, that is machinery and supplies to take it out with. and We have no means to get them into the country.
 How much tonnage? It is a foolish question to ask. It is put ting the cart before the horse. Out side of the mere necessities to sus- tain life there isn't any and there won't be any until some way is provided for getting it. If you ap- proach capital to invest the first question asked is How about transportation" If you tell the truth-$200.00. a ton-that ends the conversation. and capital is the only means that will bring ton mage. If this point could be brought home to those technical experts in Washington, who are so highly trained in business adminis- traitor in going concerns that they have lost track of or never learned common senss as applied to sn un- veloped country. I believe it it would do more good than any thing else. Just now We are try ing to reduce the tonnage instead of increasing it In order to beat the transportation charge. We have turned scientists and are buy ing our foodstuhs according to cal. l oric values and vftimine contents Some enterprising merchant sent us some prunes, inoccuIated with

Nov before I get started talking politics l. want to say something faSoat ths very friendly greeting I have had here in Nome The peo- pie here have convinced me that they have been glad to see me. I can tell it by the way they shake hands. I have been through good many hard and bitter fights in Nome. but when I come back find plenty to greet ne with friend ly feelings. and know they are friendly. and 1t has been great pleasure to me to know that the people of Nome are friendly to me whether they vote for me or not
 There is another thing I want to call your attention to. There was piece in the Nome Nugget about my opponent making speech here and he had not ac- counted for the presence of other members of the Republican party
 
 have on the stage with me the Democratic candidates for the Leg islature; Mir. Gafney and Mir Wright, MT. Brunner and Mir Scot and I will tell you why they are here They are here for the same reason that I am here. because we are running on the same ticket, the Democratic ticket. They are here because they are for me and I am here because I am for them and all of us are for our candidate for President of the United States, Governor Al Smith. whose name We are not ashamed to mention.
 From the Nugget account it seems as if some of the Republi- can candidates felt they were some what slighted by having no men tion made of them by MT. Suther- land. say for their benefit he had a meeting on one of the creeks and one at Fairbanks the next night.
