Big Trees Saved by
Fire-Resisting Bark

The bark of California big tree is,
ON large specimens, as much as three
feet thick and is almost as resistant
to fire as asbestos. A sample of the
bark twelve inches square was placed
in lumber mill furnace, surrounded
with dry pine and fir wood and
burned for eight hours. When taken
from the furnace the bark was merely
charred on the outside. This resist
ance to fire is one reason for the
longevity of the California big tree
which is known to attain an age of
1000 years and may reach 60O0 or
more. mature specimen, twenty
feet or more in diameter, sustained
scores Of forest fires in the days be-
fore the national parks and forests
were protected. Other conifers of the

Milks Emulsion"

AT last, after nine and one-half
years, am really getting well. I
feel perfectly well (think of it!) and
4 am sure no one came so near to, the
pearly gates and missed going

Yesterday a doctor said to my
mother: My God, Mrs. Stultz, this
thing Is miracle that she will get
wellp My mother smiled her radiant
smile and said: Tt is time you gave
the public something for their money;
tell them to take Milks Emulsion
II have spent fifteen thousand dol
lars in doctoring, climates, ETC., and
one bottle of Milks Emulsion is worth
more than all they did for me put to-
gether, and have had the best med
fcal advice In the world.
'As / said before, am feeling fine
and the rales are all gone from my
chest; have no cough, but / am not
taking any chances of getting a re-
lapse, so / am going to stay right in
bed and take Milks Emulsion until /
get my weight back.
II look down at my feet sticking
up in the bed and say: BY golly,
babies, You are going to do some
walking now. Cheer up; your day is

There have been SO many books
written about abraham Lincoln-the
number runs into the hundreds and
the whole field or I;incelniana has
been SO thoroughly comhed that II
does not seem possible to discover
anything new about him. Nor is II !
likely that a new Lincoln hook would
ordinarily excite more than casual
interest and discussion. However
within recent months there has ap
peared a new work on Lincoln which
has been news in that news stories
have been written about it. This adj
dition to the store OF knowledge about
the Great Emancipation is the two
volume work written by the late
Albert J.. Beveridge. former Unitee
States senator from Indiana, under
the title of "Abraham Lincoln, 1909
1858" and published by the Houghtoil
Mifflin company.
1t Is striking fact about this

have had to wait for almost seventy
years for biography of Lincoln deal,
ing adequately with the first fifty
years Of bis life. The monumental
I biography of Nicolay and Hay was
written with frank partisanship and.
worse still. under the critical eye of
Robert Todd Lincoln, who until the
end of his long life, appeared more
prone to concealment than to revela-
alton. The Herndon biography was
unqucstionably the most starkly hon.
est but its very honesty damned 1t in
the eyes of those who preferred to
defy rather than to explain it's sub

upon the myth-making period, fol-
lowed with flood of biographies
written In the spirit of extravagant
praise, and the result has been that
the Lincoln who lived before the de-
bate has been comparatively unknown
until now"

professional historians, by teachers
and preachers, by lawyers, by poets

 Operations temporarily halted while a standard rio was erected were resumed last week when new driler arrived from California.
 At depth of 1850 feet the drill had passed thru all surface fractures and coal bearing strata and enter ed firm and undsturbed limestone Just prior to st1k ino this last bed the drill passed through carbOna ce0us shae winch under analysis indicates ideal con- dton similar that of the best oil fields III the States
 One of the most favorable indications IS the treIen dous gas pressure struck immediately after penetrating the limestone. This gas showed 2,2OO pounds to the square inch necesstatng mudding and casing off, af ter which the well tamped with water to hold It safe until drilling resumed.
 Captain Peterson is highly elated with the showing and says he is confident he will bring in an oil well or a heavy gasser.
 Analysis of drillings gave paraffin reaction which oi which is anticipated to lie above the 24OO foot level
 With the heavier string of tools and one of the best equipments brought to Alaska, rapid progress should be made during the summer and fall.
 If Captain Peterson succeeds in developing oil in this portion of Alaska it will usher in the greatest boom since the Klondke days The Oriental market rapidly turning to internal combustion power, lies awaiting those who can supply it's needs.
 According to Captain Robert Dollar export and import business with China increased from S711, 100000 between 1913 and 1927 to S1448O0000O while her capita trade increased only from S215 to S23O If than $50 today her foreign would have climb ed to thirty three billions of dollars year."
 Thus envisions what the Orient will mean to Alaska when the trade missionaries like Captan Dollar bring the standard of living of the Orient up it's peak
 Not the least of this business will be the consump- ton of oil If Captain Peterson succeeds, he will have contributed to the Territory than any other fac tor since it's golden days
