Ketchikan and Wrangell to
Haye Cable Connection
- Tnere U no doubt but that Ketchikan
and Wrangell will have cable con
nections this year. The conferees ap
pointed to consider the military ap
propriations bill retained the provi
aion appropriating $179,000 for that
purpose. Its retention is credited
largely to the work of Representative
William Sulzer, of New Yoric, one of
the house members of the committee.
The f 150,000 item for Alaskan roads
and trails to be expended by the Alas
kan road commission was also retained,

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per
aon'a Temperament.
Many people believe that blonde, or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
Is not devoid of character; far from It.
The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such solicitude
for the welfare of others, that ho neg
lects himself. A P'rm causes baldness.
Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris, France, in
nocculated a rabbit with Dandruff germs,
causing it to become totally bald In Ave
weeks" time. To rid the scalp of these
dang-Tous cerms It Is necessary to apply
N'ewbro's Horplclde.
