the Nabesna country known as
 the Tetlin. and the opposition of
 mine operators in regard there
 to, the following statement to
 The Gateway from Ernest wall
 ker Sawyer, assistant to Secre-
 tary Wilbur Of the Depa rtment of
 the Interior, is inteFasting and
 pertinent. Mr Sawyer says.
 The temporary withdrawal of land for Indian fur farms near ITetlin embraces an area which Ithe General Land Office insists lis not more than 625 square miles. It is expected that about half Iof that area will eventually be assigned to individual Indians under fur farm leases and then
 the remainder will no doubt be
 released and returned to the
 public domain. The ordinary fur
 farm lease under the Interior
 Department is limited to $40 acres on the mainland or 12,2OO acres t30 square n1iles) on sew
 eral islands, About AS leases of
 this nature have been already
 issued in various parts of Alas ka. .
 The Department of Agricul- ture grants leases tip t0 2.500 acres for islands and 50 acres for mainland. I have no record of the total leases issued by that The Agriculture del partment has about 30OOO 900 acres of reservations which be- lieye are subject to their lease regulations. The Navy comes sec- ond with about 26,OOOOOO acres of reservations, The Interior del partment altogether has less than 100000 acres of reservations in Mckinley Park.
 The Geological survey consid- cred at the time they examined the proposed boundaries . Of the Tetlin reservation that there were no mineral bearing areas within the boundaries. It was further understood there were no prospectors within that area As far as we have been able to find out there are still no pros pectors within that area. The Geological survey for years has advocated the interests of pros- pect0rs and has opposed the curl tailment of their rights. MI person. ally am very anxious that pros- pectors be protected and in every way encouraged as T believe the future of Alaska lies with the of the next few wears. Both Dr Philip Smith and my- self approved of thR reservation provided there Was no ra5tric- tians on prospeetifHg. #|Tha raser- vation papers Wefe.d dF5wr .up and signed Tune l0 while #e ware irl Alaska and for soma spacial le- gal reason 1t was so Harded that all prospecting pr mining on the area must be in accordance with rules made by the Secretary eff the Interior Immediately after returned to Washington MI began to clear this Up and within a \ very short time you can rest as- sured that a prospector should \ he ever desire to go into that area for legitimate prospecting will be able to proceed [

ADVERTIsEME ENT
FOOD SCIENTISTS
RECOMMEND EATING
IN MID-AFTERNOON
Experiments Show That
Sugar in Food or Beverages
Overcomes Fatigue

Modern business invariably makes
its greatest demands on workers
during the latter part Of the after
noon. Yet that is just the time of
the working day when vitality is
the lowest.
Recent scientific Investigations
have proved that this mid-afternoon
fatigue can be quickly overcome by
eating sweet cakes, q few pieces Of
candy, a dish of ice cream or the
drinking Of a sweet beverage. A
glass of water sweetened with sugar
will revive one in an amazing way.
The reason for this lies in the
quick digestibility of refined sugar.
There are few food products that
nourish the body so speedily. And
when the system is nourished,
fatigue is noticeably decreased.
With practically no loss Of
time, and very little expense, mid
afternoon snack can be enjoyed.
Dispensers of sweet drinks and con-
fectionery are within the reach of
all. AS a matter of factSa few pieces
Of candy or sugar can be conve-
niently kept in ones desk and eaten
when tired. Most foods are more de-
licious and nourishing with sugar.

DEF|ES HEAT:
IN TOUR
Representative Is Mistaken
for Dry Agent at Fenton
Place; Conditions Are Bad

There was q Congressional
tour" through Washington's
slums and alleys today, but only
one member from Capitol Hill
took part in it.
He was Frank l.. Bowman, Of
West Virginia, and he braved
the heat of q May morning in
order to do his bit towards re,
wink public and legislative in.
terest in the proposal to blot
out the "sore spots and the cess
pools" in the local housing prob
lem.
Other members Of the House
District Committee declined to
view trip through Washington's
worst slums in the light Of a
junket and did not show up when
automobiles placed at their dis
posal by Capt. E. N. Chisholm,
of the office Of Public Buildings
and Parks, and William v. Ma
honey. Of the Alley Improve
ment Association, arrived at the
Capitol.
Sees Worst Places
Representative Bowman. how
ever, inspected Navy Place, near
Sixth and G. Streets Southeast;
Schotts Alley, First and B Streets
Northeast; Gordon Court, near l.
Street and New Avenue North
west, Fenton Place, near North
Capitol and I Street, and others.
SchottS Court is directly in the
rear Of the Senate Office Build
ing, and here family of nine,
colored, was found living in q
four-room house renting at SIG q
month. It was drab, dilapidated,
dirty, without plumbing or con-

SENATE TO PASS
DISTRICT BILL .

Before adjournment today the
Senate is expected to pass the
District of Columbia appropria-

was called up by Senator Bing-
ham (RD, Connecticut, late yes
terday and rapid progress was
made until a comparatively small
item of 100000 to combat mos
QuitoeS was reached.
Without a word of debate the
Senate approved the Senate COM
mittee amendment to the House
bill which provides that the Fed
eral Government shall contribute
100000 instead of $4,000, 900
toward the expenses of the Dis
trict during the fiscal year 1881.
In Force Six Years
The $9,OO0,OOO lump sum from
the Federal Government has been
in operation for the past six
years.
Then debate broke out over the
mosquito item. It was assailed
by Senators Norris, of Nebraska,
and Glass, OF Virginia, the latter
asserting he had intended to be
out Of the city today but would
stay over.
The mosquito fund would be
used by the District government,
the Public Health Service and
the Director of Public Buildings
and Grounds in mass attack
against the pests.
Although the Senate quickly
approved the $12,000,000 Federal
contribution, this item will be
one of a number which must go
