A STRIKING INVITATION
"A photograph was produced in Fair
banks this week, which Is bound to have
a powerful effect on the future of the
Tanana," says the Tribune of fair
banks.
"Fifty bricks of solid gold, each one
containing $l,U00, were piled tier on
tier and then a golden uiold of the
Venus of Milo was placed on the apex
of lh? pyramid.
"This ?50.000 in virgin gold repre-.
seuts the net protlut of one operator on
Ksw creek for this summer.
"When you see this picture of the re
sult of one man's effort you will reali/.e
that gold i> the staple product of the
Tanana.
"Consider that this fortune in gold
was all locked in the embrace of mother
earth on January 1, l'.HK Consider that
this fortune, great as it is, represent*
only one-half of one per cent of the
total output of the Tanana for 15*08.
Consider that the trilling work that has
been done in the fauana has added
seventy-five tons of gold to the world's
stock since l'.HW.
"Send this picture broadcast all over
the United States and with it this word
to those who labor and are heavy laden:
"COME."
" PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY "
This, following, is an editorial fiom
the Juneau Record, which, by virtue of
an award from the Skagway citv coun
cil and a bid by the Kecord lower thaD
the work could be done at a profit in
Seattle, is uow engaged in printing the
code of laws that is to govern the City
of Skagway. Taken in connection with
its utterances on thi> very matter of
the Skagway city printing io the same
tsauo, it is another illustration ol the
singular intelligence that manifests
itself in the couduct of that newspaper.
The Uecord says:
A manufacturer not a thousand miles
from here has promineutly displaped a
large card bearing this legend, "Pat
ronize Home Industry." That man has
all his printing done in Chicago be
cause he can get it done a little cheaper
there. But his advice to others is "pat
ronize home industry." There are
tuaoy like him, men who have oue rule
for themselves and another for their
neighbors.
WIRELESS A WONDERFUL SUCCESS
[Continued from Paijc I.]
Instrumental in inaugurating the sys
tem ami designing the instruments,''
stid Lt. Jeunet
"It was not supposed that the smaller
power stations, Fort K^bert, Fairbanks
?ad Circle City with but six horse
power generating plants would bridge
the distances over land that experi
ments the past >lx weeks have demon
strated. Nome and Fort Gibbon have
duplicate ten-kilowatt generating
plants each with two twenty horse
power horizontal gasoline electric en
nines. Not only the message from the
Victoria surprised us but Fairbanks has
also picked up messages sent by the
Nome station: a distance of about o"'<
miles.
"The greater distance covered by
these stations art those betweea Fort
Kgbert and Fort (Gibbon, signals of the
Fort Egbert six-horse power station
have been picked up by Fort Gibbon
though of course the signals have bert<

rather weak. Thla distance is about
100 allien by air-line, and demonstrates
the efficiency of the Fort Kgbert sta
tion. Fort Gibbon signals come in to
Egbert with (air commercial intensity
and are easily read. The Gibbon sta
tion is of high power. Circle City, 260
miles from Fort Gibbon, can work with
Gibbon with eusa. Fairbanks and Fort
Egbert also work together over an air
line of about 195 miles. All the shorter
distances are bridged with very sttocg
signals, Fort Kgbert and Circle Cit>:
aud Circle City and Fairbanks; and
Fori Gibbon and Fairbanks. Fort
Gibbon and Nome have exchanged
signals over the 450 miles of air-line
distances between these stations."
A demonstration of what it all means
to Alaska took place while Lieut.
Jeunet was on the way out. de was on
the steamer Susie, crowded with fall
migrators from Fairbanks and below.
The boat tied up at Circle, on the Yu
kon. which is far otT the track of the
wire. The station was to have been
opened for business on the 21st. This
was the 2tith and, on account Jof some
delay in "tuning up," it had not yet
been done. It was accomplished whiir
Lieut. Jeunet was there. Instantly
it became known, every man ami
woman on board wanted to send word
back to those whom they had left be*
hind at Fairbanks. The ottioe at Fair
banks did not know what had struck
it while into the homes of Fairbanks
people fluttered so many messages from
those who were thought to have been cut
otT from communication that it was like
voices from the clouds. ''Unqualified
success,' is the way to speak of tin
wireless in Alaska," says Lieut, Jeunet.
And it is a great message.

PERFECT RECOVERY
IS DUE TO CUTICURA
"With the exception of his hands and
feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old)
was almost completely covered with
eczema. Physicians treated him for
nearly a year without helping him any.
While they were very kind and did all In
their power, yet nothing seemed to re
lieve him. And 1 had tried many rem
edies sent t'> me l>y kind friends but they
all failed. His head, face, nnd neck were
covered with large scabs w hich he would
rul> until they fell off. '1'hen blood and
matter would runout and that would be
worse. Many a time lie looked as if
his ears would drop off. Friends com
ing to see him said that if he got well he
would l>e disfigured for life.
"When it seemed as if he could nos
stblv stand it no longer. I decided to
try "Cuticura. I bought a cake of Cuti
ciira Soap, a l>ox of Cuticura Ointment,
nnd a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. I
lists! them in the evening and that was
the first night for nearly a year that ho
hlept. This may sound exaggerated
to you, but in the morning there was a
great change for the better. In about
mx weeks you could not have told that
hehadeverhad any thing wrong with him.
I treated him twice a day for six months
an^l at present he has a fine complexion
and not a scar on his body. This story
may seem overdrawn, but neither words
??? >r pen can describe Clyde's suffering
and now ho looked. Our leading phy
sician, Dr. , recommends the Cuti
cura Remedies for eczema. Mrs. Algy
