Writes New Book For
 Alaskan Prospectors

Professor Albert Wilkerson, instructor in geology and min- erology at the Alaska College and School. of Mines; has writ ten a new booklet designed to aid Alaskan prosrectors in the identification of unknown min erals encoun srcd in the hills of the Territory. The title is De terminative Minerofogy for the Alaskan PrOspector,"
 It is written in simple, non- technical language and gives tests for 75 different minerals. These include practically all the imp ortant minerals that have been found or might be found in Alaska. To avoid con- fusion, no attempt has been made to include the very rare and uncommon minerals. To make full use of the booklet the proSpector needs only a blowpipe and a few chemicals. The publication is OH sale at the College Bookstore at $1 50 a copy, plus 15 cents postage.

Important Notice To
 Hyder Herald Subscribers

Believing that a majority of our subscribers will appreciate a continuance of local news service which will enable them to keep in touch with events and developments in the Port land Canal district, The Hyder Weekly Herald, which will suspend publication with the present issue, has transferred it's subscription list to the Stew art News, which publication will continue all paid-in-ad- vance subscriptions to the Her. aid until their expiration date.
 In the event that this arrange ment is unsatisfactory to any Herald subscriber, the balance due them on their unexpired subscription after January 1, 1885, will be returnedon appli- cation to this office.
 It may be stated in this con- nection that the Stewart News is arranging for a much en- larged coverage of news events in Hyder and the Hyder dist rict, in an effort to provide a comprehensive local news ser vice for those interested pri- marily in the Hyder section.

 But Dr. Townsend, father of the plan, told Washington re- porters a few days ago that the forces behind his proposals will flick the hide off Congress and send them home for good" if the plan is not adopted.
 Whatever the outcome, the apparently impending battle should be both interesting and Illuminating to the public.

Billion for Home Repairs
Administration Things Utilized
in Work..

It is not the intention of the Hous-
ing Administration. however, to en-
courage any property owner to incur
a debt for improvement or repair pur-
poses which will prove economically
or socially burdensome to him. 1t does
not advocate that every home owner
and wage Garner plunge himself into
debt to Ak up his home. Millions OF
our citizens have incurred debts for
that and similar purposes in the last
10 years. with disastrous results.
Unless our citizens again use
credit in prudent and beneficial
manner as provided under the hous-
ing act, however, business activity
cannot return to normal levels.
There are good debts as we'll as bad
debts. The incurring of reasonable
debt to provide a better kitchen,
bath room, heating system or what
not for ones home and thus provide
employment for many of those out of
work. is highly desirable. providing it
will not mean too great a sacrifice
While each owner participating in
the better housing program enhances
the value of his own property and
adds to his own comforts, he at the
same time provides jobs for many of
his fellow citizens. But more impor-
tant than the money made available
for repairs. more important than the
workers who will be re-employed. and
even more important than the stimu-
lation which industry will feel. will be
the increased social stability resulting
from more attractive. more comfort
able and happier homes.

MARKED BUILDING
IMPROVEMENT NOTED
Dun G. Bradstreet Report Covers
October Operations Through
out Country.

A marked improvement in building
operations throughout the country is
shown in the latest report of Dun &
Bradstreet, Inc, covering activities
during October.
AS compared with normal seasonal
increase of approximately 2.5 per cent,
the volume of permits issued in Octo-
ber for new buildings, alterations, addi-
tions and repairs, revealed an increase
of 400 per cent over September, while
the gain over October. 1888. was 429
per cent.
The report stated that "this in
creased activity in large part reflected
the national appeal for home repairs
and improvements sponsored by the
various governmental agencies"
The total volume of building permits
for 2l5 cities reporting during the
month amounted to S37.446.2 .293 With
the exception of last May it was the
largest total valuation of permits issued
since April, 1882.
Every section of the country reported
more or less improvement in October
As compared with the preceding month,
and contrast with October of last year
also was encouraging, the New Eng
land States being the only section to
show slight decline Permits for the
214 cities outside of New York were

DOOR TURNS OFF LIGHT
Also Lights Closet Bulb When II
Opens.

A door switch, which operates when
the door moves on its hinges. is a
convenient and economical device for
closets and similar dark places.
Not only do these switches elimi-
nate fumbling for light switches in
the dark but also remove any posi-
bility Of burning the incandescent

also an incentive to closing closet
doors, thus shutting out dust and con-
sequently reducing cleaning casts.

REYNOLDS URGES
HOUSE INSULATION
Says Air Conditioning Must
wit Until Owners Learn
OF "Leaks."

That the manufacture OF air-condi-
tioning apparatus for home use will
never achieve sizeable proportions until
the majority Of residences are prop
erly insulated fol air conditioning, was
pointed out today by r. S. Reynolds,
president Of the Reynolds Metals Co.
Few homes, declared Reynolds, are
efficiently insulated, and the install
lation OF expensive air-conditioning
appartus is unsound from both an
economic and engineering standpoint
unless the best possible insulation is
provided. Before considering the in
stallation Of air-conditioning equip
ment, he stated, the home owner
should first Of all study the insula-
ton of his building to determine its
efficiency.
In most cases." said Reynolds, 1.-THE
owner of home will be surprised to
flnd how poorly insulated his house
Is. Only recently have methods of
insulation been developed that make
1t possible for house to be insulated
at a cost within the means Of the
average person. Therefore, 1t is hardly
exaggerating to say that not per
cent of the homes in this country are

Valued Heat Is Lost.
without even bothering to con-
slider the handicap such lack of in
sulation places in the way of future
air conditioning, think what this
means at present. In cold weather
the average house is nothing more or
less Than big radiator leaking valu-
able heat. Considering the condition
of most houses. the only reason the
average American family is comforta-
BILE at all during cold weather is be-
cause of the wonderful efficiency of
modern heating equipment. function
ing !narvelously in spite of terrific
handicaps.
Probably the best proof of this
can be made by the home owner
himself. On very warm day or a
cold day let him make a visit to his
attic taking with him a thermometer
He will probably be surprised at the
difference in temperature between the
attic and the floor below. The reason.
Of course, is that most attics are not
insulated at all. while lower floors
are insulated to some extent.
Shingles Transmit Warmth.

down on the shingles and they trans
