AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK AT KATALUT
An earthquake shock lasting about
five ssconds occurred shortly before '2
o'clock Friday morning, setting tele
phone bells jingling, shaking crockery
and awakening many people from their
slumbers. The temblor seemed to
have an upward movement and then a
falling one, as if the earth was imping
ing on the root of the nether regions.
Claric Davis said it seemed to him as
though some one were under his bed
trying to lift it, and Jud^e Robert
Strouss thought his bed was about to
?ink through the floor.? Katalla Her

BRUNEB MAY SELL OUT
A. E. Florence, a well known rail
road promoter and mining man, arrived
yesterday on the Farallon. Mr. Flor
ence's mission here Is for the purpose
of making an examination of the ter
?sina's and plant of the Alaska Pacific
company, as 'olc in the last issue of the
Herald. Mr. Florence represents large
capital and it is probable that work on
the Alaska Pacific will be resumed this
spring ou an extensive scale.? Katalla

RECEIVER TO BE NAMED
FOR THE ALASKA CENTRAL
A Chicago-dispatch says:
"The United States Smelting com
pany, an independent concern, is ready
to purchase a majority of the stock of
tbe Alaska Central Railroad company
if it can be assured of federal legisla
tion by congress upon the proposition
to grant governmental aid to railroad
construction ia Alaska. Otherwise tbe
smelting company will not consider the
purchase of the road.
"[t is rumored that if this deal Is not
made the road will go^nto the hands of
a receiver as the Frost syndicate i?
believed to be ucable to carry it any
further."
GREATEST OF COFFER FIELDS
In the Bonanza copper group in the
Copper river country, there is said to
be twenty-three million dollars' worth
of ore in sight, says the Katalla Herald.
That means that there Is ore of thai
value virtually awaiting shipment so
soon as the railroad reaches tbe mines.
And development work has only begun
It will be readily seen what promise fu
ture development holds in the produc
tion of copper ore from these mines
alone. But the Copper rivtr copper
zone is an extensive one, and there are
other mines equally as promising.

HUMAN LOVE.
The One Joyous Impulse That Rulei
the \tyhole Wid?? World.
There lives somewhere tu the deptbi
of every huuii'.u heart the divine spari
that we call love ? It Is the voice of th<
universe slumbering In Its narrow eel
to be awakened by a whlsi>er or toerj
out In dear desire and hear the echo
Ing auswer from another soul. With
out It life would be a .pale, relentless
episode. Without Its quickening forct
. no temples would be reared by humar
hands, yet hovels wherein It dwells be
come more glorious than palaces. Am
biliou, fume and fortune are Its slaves
It chains the inliul In sweet Imprison
ment. makes credulity a guardian queer
and lulls susplclou to repose.
No censorship of right or wrong can
light the way of love. It walks Ie
pathways all Its own. It laughs at
reason and dispels despair. It is the
lisping word of children, tho puzzle ol
philosophers, the talisman of rulers. II
is the first and last of life? murmured
at the cradle, cherished at the grave.
It is the rainbow after tears, the cure
for every sorrow, the one Joyous im
pulse that rules the whole wide world.

beauty to it merely by arrangement.
"I first noticed this on board th<
steamer going out," says Mr. Edwards
"where the Japanese boy arranged th<
extra blanket on the berth in a new de
sign each day. He folded it into lotus
leaves and chrysanthemums, Into hall
opened fans and half shut buds. He
had one wonderful arrangement which
being patriotic, was more often repeat
ed than the rest The blankets of th?
steamship company had at top and bot
torn two wavy red lines on a whit<
ground. By some wonderful twist ol
his tinkers the boy would fold thai
blanket iuto the rising sun, with tht
four red lines coming out of it like
blood red rays. He did it so perfectlj
that I recognized the flag of Japan the

SOFTNESS OF SEALSKIN.
I* Rivaled by Human Hnlr Where
Dandruff 1* Eradicated.
Sealskin Is admired the world over for
Its softness and glossiness; and yet the

by a pestiferous parasite that saps tho
vitality of the hair at its root. Newbro's
