Speaks On Alaska
Miss Olive Church, of Erie, Pa., who
was in Skagway last summer with the
McGowan excursion, has delivered a few
le. turea in her home town on Alaska
and it* inhabitants, which are very
interesting: and very true. She is an
enthusiastic admirerer of the great
northern possession of Uncle Sam.
In speaking of the Alaskan people
ami the northern country, Miss Church
said in part:
"Nowhere else is man so placed upon
his own resources and proper status, as
in a new region cut off from outside in
fluences. The new comer or 'che
chuckie' (chechoko) makes bis own
niche in the community and the real
personality :s bound to come to the sur
face and the man seeks his own level.
"Alaska is famous, not only for its
v gold mines, but for its scenery, Its for
ests, its fish and game, and its climate
in summer. The fcenery is magnifi
cent, its forests in the southern part
unequalled; its fish furnishing food to
all the world, and i's caribou- deer and
bear furnishing sport for the hunter
and food fir the inhabitants. In the
summer season Alaska is far from be
ing the wild, rough, cold county we
picture it to be. Everything is green
and beautiful in the valleys and the soil
is rich and moist. At Dawsoc I saw
beautiful gardens of lettuce, onioos,
cabbages and berries: and many homes
at Skagway had beautiful flower beds
of pansits, lady-slippers, etc., just such
as we see about here at home. Of
course, tne winters are long and cold
and dark, yet the people of Alaska
seem contented with their homes and
happy lives are spent there. The sum
mers last about three months, but you
must remember t> at it is three months
of daylight, and vegetables and plant
life profit there. * * * An Alaskan
trip is a trip to pr:m? val life and nature,
and nothing can be compared to a visit
to the land of ttie m dnight sun."

Go?. Folk Favors Municipal
Ownership
Got. Folk, of Missouri, favors muni
cipal ownership of public utilities.
Recently, at Kansas City, he sai 1:
"I believe that it U best for cities to
own their pnblic utilities. The senti
ment for muincipai ownership is grow
ing. The growth of the idea is not sur
prising in view of the many and mani
fest wrongs of privately owned utilities
toward the public.
"With the growing sense of respon
sibility the public holds toward itself.
There is a feeling that that the voters
have the power to check evils and
abuses which have resulted so far from
municipal control of public uti ities
This sentiment will result in a demand
that cities own and manage every public
service institution which deals with
transportation and with furnishing the
necessities of life to the masses."

According to Associated Press dis
! patches, the body of J. N. Tisdale has
; been found in the river, with every in
! dication that he committed suicide. It
j is believed that he was in a despondent
mood, brought on by the failure of some
I of his mining deals which were all but
I consumated, and being of a na'urally
j nervous nature, suicided rather than
! to face the uncertainties surrounding
j a new start in life.
I Mr. Tisdale made many friecds in
j Alasnaand few, if any, enemies, and in
| his death Juneau lost a good citizen,
! and one who has done much to promote
its interests, -Record-Miner.

Yukon Operators Harness
The Aurora Borealis
Yukon telegraph operators have
harnessed the Aurora Borealis to their
wires ami talked with each other over
hundreds of snow covered miles with
out the use of the batteries, the lack of
which usually make telegraph lines
impotent and insensiate things. The
experiment was tried about two weeks
ago when it wasdiscovered that electric
disturbances !n the vicinity of the wires
were interfering with their operation.
At times they were greatly overcharg
ed, and at the suggestion of the opeta'or
at Dawson the batteries were discon
nected with the wire and the operator
at that place and Ailin had no difficulty
in sending messages back and forth.
It is said to be the first time that this has
ever been done on a wire the direction
of which is north and south while it is
frequently done upon wires that go
from eas* to west.

CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS
Mrs. George J. Steese, ofyoiCoburn !
St., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfiguring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment,
after physicians, and all else had
failed: "I feel it my duty to parents ,
of other poor suffering babies to tell j
you what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter. She broke out all
oyer her body rrith a humor, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. I called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before I had
used half of the cake of soap and
box of ointment thy sores had all
healed, and my little one's face and
body was as clear as a new-born babe's.
I would not be without it again if it
cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five
cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever." ?
