Don’t take chances on Roofing, for
you can now have roofing insurance.
J-M Regal Roofing is absolutely guar
anteed against leaks due to defects in
the roofing.
And that guarantee is as good as a
government bond, for it’s signed by the
makers, a $3,000,000.00 company.
J-M Regal Roofing
is made entirely in the Regal people’s
own mills. They know the quality of
every square inch of it. That’s why
they can guarantee it. f
They make the wool felt—know that
it Is the best quality, long-tlbred wool.
They refine and process their own
asphalt—get it direct from Lake Trini
dad. No man has yet found anything
else half as good for waterproofing.
So here is a roofing that _ is proof
against the broiling sun, against enow
and rain, freezing and thawing, th s
oxygen in the air and the other things
which so soon ruin other wool felt roof
ings. J-M Regal Roofing is also highly
fire-resisting.
Samples a’-e/rec; also an interesting
book on roofing.

HIES LETTER TO
' SECRETARY LANE
WASHINGTON, August 13.—Gif
ford Pinchot, former chief forester,
today sent to Secretary Lane, of the
interior department, an open letter
declaring the secretary had abandon
ed the conservation policies and, de
' spite a recent denial, is exercising his
influence in favor of the pending Phe
lan oil land amendment, which would
open the western oil reserves set
aside for the navy.
“If the amendment is enacted,”
wrote Mr. Pinchot, “the oil land
reserves set aside for the nav; will be
destroyed. The mere threat of its
passage has caused the navy depart
ment to seriously consider the advisa
bility of abandoning the policy of con- 1
structing oil-burning ships. Without
them no navy can even be second
class.”
The letter cites also the following
I acts of the secretary to show that he
has not been a champion of conser
1 vation.
“Your silent submission to the vi
cious Shields water power bill, passed
by the senate on March 8, 11)16, and
now ip grave danger of becoming
law. It is in direct opposition to
II conservation principles you once ap
proved.
I “Your neglect to support with vigor]
in the senate the Ferris water power ]
{bill, which you had already supported
I in the house, and your recent acqui
1 escence in the vicious Myers substi
tute measure now before the senate,
which should have had your unreserv-!
ed opposition.
“Your plan to ourn the natural re
sources of Alaska over to a bi-parti
san political commission, embodied in
the Pittman bill now before congress,
which bill you have been diligently
trying to get passed. If passed it
would open the way for the destruc
tion of our whole system of national
conservation.”
The letter concludes:
“When you were appointed secre
tary of the interior, I welcomed your
appointment and came and told you
so. At that time I held the belief
which you have since forced me to
give up, that you would stand and
continue to stand for the ri£hfk of all
the people in all the natural resour
ces of our country.”
Mother Lode Mine
Proves High Grade
(Cordova Times)
The Mother Lode copper property
r ear McCarthy, is now a high grade
mine.
Last week a big body of ore was
struck, the extent of which is yet un
known, but miners from there say it
is a beautiful sight to see a whole
face of pure glance to work on, run
ning as it does, from 70 to 75 per
cent copper.
This is the same high grade ore
that they have in the Bonanza mine,
with every indication of being much
more extensive. The Mother Lode
mine has over five carloads out now
(representing a net value of $50,000),
but will not be able to ship it to the
smelter until the freeze-up, on ac
count of a lack of transportation fa
cilities from the mine to the railroad.
This new strike means a great deal
for McCarthy and the whole district.
The mountains in the interior are full
of high-grade copper, which is only
awaiting capital to open it up. Mc
Carthy expects to be a busy place this
winter handling ore from the Mother
Lode, and probable the Tjosevig mine,
which will be freighted to that place
and from there shipped over the Cop
per river railway to Cordova.
Frank Dolan, an old-timer, from
the Kougarok, near Nome, died re
cently at Butte, Mont., according to
word received by Gus Borgen.
