WHAT HURTS ALASKA
President McRea. of the PennsyV
rult railroad, it will bo remembered
on his return, from Alaska some time
since stated that the value of the
Bering river coal deposits had been
exaggerate and that they would
hardly pay to work In competition
with coal more cheaply and easily
mined. This l? precisely what Secre
Wy ftofcer also said. OommenUng on
this, the New Orleans Picayune says:
"BvldeuUy Mr. McKea 1* not a very
close observer. No one will Imagine
that the Guggetihelms and their
friends would be willing to apend
million* of dollars In order to secure
large tract* of Alaska coal lands un
less they wore convinced by the re
port* of their ouglnoers that the coal
was there and that It could be broug'
out at a profit."
It fa? this kind of misinlormatton,
seduloiMly repeated, that has operat
ed to create the wroug impression
about Alaska and to bring about the
condition of stagnation which has af
flicted that territory for the pa.*
seven years. The GuggeuheUns and
their fnuetto have not invested mill
ion* of dollars or even fraction* of
a cent in Alaska coal properties. The
Ouggenheim* have built, at an enor
mous expense, a railroad u> reach
their own copper properties, l'he only
connection which they have ever had
aith any Alaska coal claim was iu
the offer which thy made to some ol
the holders of claim* in the Boring
river district to extend a branch fron
in t-ir railroad to those coal fields, U
given a working interest in the prop
erty, with the assurance through that
working interest that they could s*
cure coal enough at a reasonable
price for the operation of their rail
road and the smellers which they
proposed to put in to reduce the cop
per ore from their mines.
,t was on accountof this proposal
that the government canceled the coa
claims. The railroad was not built
ami there is remote prospect that it
will be built for many years in the
future. The Guggenheim* hav?
changed their locomotives to oil burn
t?nk? and are operating their rail
road, and will operate their smelters
when the latter go in, with fuel oil
from California. No one else ia pre
pared to furnish the transportation,
even If the mines are permitted to be
opened, and there is now no possible
inducement for the Guggenheim*, ?o
construct die branch railroad. The
damage has been done, and there u
slim prospect oX it* being repaire 1 fo
many year*. ? Seatde P.-L
Daniel, head of all the Guggen
heims .recently gave forth the state
ment that Alaska is capable of pro
ducing from $230,000,000 to $250.000, -
000 yearly. He did not say what ape
cm products of the territory might
produce this extraordinary amount,
out when his lta? of interest ar
considered, it to reasonable to ?up
poa* he meant gold, copper, coal and
fish. ? Ex.
THE POWER OF STEAM.
Hoar Mar Sm Bat It Takee Genius to
Rttlbe.
When James Watt nw the steam
causlr.K the kettle lid to Jump up and
down he said "There must be power in
that steam that It can lift such a
weight."
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen ths
same phenomenon and regarded It as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put It?
finger on the "cause" of Dandruff, Fall
Ins Hair, and consequent Baldness, and
has unearthed a tiny jrerm which eats
tho life from the roots of human hair.
Newhro's Herptcide destroys this
?erm s.jd consequently restores the
hair to Its natural state.

Salt
Salt production Is about the oldest
Industry In the world. In Italy, the
cradle of the salt Industry, It has been
manufactured commercially for 2.D00
years. Salt Is so necessary to ex
istence that In some parts of the world
tribes will sell the members of their
families In exchange for salt Salt has
been the cause of wars, and so Im
portant has It always been considered
that In some places the passing of
salt Is established as a token of frleud
shlp, and women throw salt on a vis
itor as a friendly greeting. In some
countries salt Is so scarce that It Is
obtained through the ashes of grasses
and a species of palm and other plants
While salt Is produced In almost every
country In the world. It. Is stated that
nowhere can salt of such purity ho
obtained at anything like the cost for
mining as In Ixjulslana.? Manufactur

A Re*l Qas Plant
There are two varieties of gas plant.
One Is a manufacturing establishment
where coal Is converted Into gas for Il
luminating and heating purposes. The
other variety Is a real growing plant
called the fraxlnellu. Kew know why
the fraxlnella Is called the "gas plant"
This Is because at certain times It re
leases a volatile oil that actually Ig
nites If allowed to come In contact
with a lighted match. The fraxlnella
Is also noted for Its fragrance and
longevity If not disturbed. One plant
