Have you seen tho castle? The
wanders of Alaska are demonstrated
every day by tourists who make the
climb to Castle Kern and from an
elevation of 1,250 feet above sea level
Skagway, the Lynn canal and the
beautiful Skagway valley can be
seen. Since July 3 moro than one
hundred people have visited Castle
Kern. Charles A. Taylor, the well
known playwright, who has visited
every part of the continent, was so
impressed by the beautiful scene that
he wrote a poem while sitting on the
veranda. The climb to tho Castle
can be made in 40 minutes and the)
trail leads through a forest of pri
rneaval pines. All are welcome.

COAL IN ALASKA
(Continued from page two.)
present low status of coal milling In
Alaska Is no criterion of the future
importance of this Industry. Up to
the present time coal has been mined
only for very local markets, and the
high-grade fuels of the Bering river
and Matuuuska fields are practically
untouched. These two fields can
ship coal only when railway connec
tion with tldo water has been estab
lished.
Some progress was made on such
railways during 11?08. but It will pro
bably be two years before any con
siderable shipments are made. In
both these fields the activities in 1908
were largely confined to surveys for
patents, assessment work, and trail
and road building. Up to the close
of 1908 no patents had been Issued,
and this tended to discourage devel
opment.
Rivalry of Petroleum.
Coal consumption in Alaska also
decreased in 1908 as compared with
1907, owing largely to the decreased
industrial activities brought about by
the financial depression, but in part
to the increasing use of petroleum
r.s fuel. At the Treadwell group of
mines petroleum was substituted for
coal, and there was also an increase
of petroleum-burning engines on Yu
kon River boats. The shipmeuts of
petroleum to Alaska in the year end
ing June 30, 190", amounted to 117,
090 barrels; in the succeeding twelve
months they increased to 28">,G32 bar
rels.

"First 1 want one thing made clear, "
Said she.
"Have you e'er kissed inald before
Or tried?"
"No," he answered. She was sure
He lied.
Then, with wllllnj; lips, she whis
pered. "Well,
Tes, you may since you don't, kiss
And tell."

"The women at our church all wear j
the very biggest hats."
"Well?"
"Two weeks ago the pastor said j
they must remove them."
"Itemove the hats! Did the women j
obey ?"
"No. They found it much easier to
remove the pastor."? Cleveland Plain

Clocks and Men.
There was a clock that used to say:
"1 run tho world both night and day.
Observe things, pleafct, and you will see
The earth and stars keep time with me."
Oh. brother, there are lots of us
Who run things with our fret and fuss!
When we run down we cannot know
That things go Just as smoothly, though.

There Is more Catarrh In this s?'c
tion of the country than all other dls
eases put together, and until tho
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local diseast an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Selene
has proven catarrh to bo a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one huudred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

?| VERYONE profits indirectly, in physical com
fort and convenience by new steamships, elec
tric lines and the attractions and luxuries af
forded by the growth and development of
modern cities. BUT THE ONLY WAY
YOU CAN PROFIT DIRECTLY AND FINANCIAL
LY is to secure tcr. e land in an assured and permanent
city. 1 hen tr 'ycanjcu know the pleasure it gives
with every premised sl.y-sciaper and participate in the
profit cf e\eiy development made. Think of the op
poili.i.itics misted in Seattle since it arose from the
ashes 20 years ago to this year of its exposition and its
300,000 population. The pessimist will ridicule the
C >lby iuid Manchester suburbs and advance the same
objections against them that was made against the
s'v.mps on Pike street, or the timber of Queen Ann Hill
and insist that the city has reached the limit of its
growth. But the growth of every large industrial city in
the country disproves it. Seattle is preeminently the
city of the northwest. Why not secure an acre of land
at Colby or Manchester one of Seattle's' most attractive
s ibirrbs? Acre lots 3 1 2x1 30 which wiil cut into ten lots
31x130.
Real estate is generally conceded the beit and
safest investment. This is especially true of near in
acreage in growing suburbs.
Acre lots $200 to $300- ? $J0 cash and $10 monthly
THE CHOICEST LOTS ARE BEING SOLD FAST
AND THIS WEEK WILL LIKELY CLOSE THE SALE
