the secretary of agriculture and ordered

I tural Investigations in Alaska. It is
important because it brinizs out some
facta in regard to the agricultural cap'
bilities of our vast Northern territory,
which will astonish those who have re
garded it aa a useless ice box, which at
most, waa valuable only for the gold it
might contain or for the fur and fish it
yields.
These investigations, as far aa they
have gone, indicate that it baa latent
capabilities which, when developed,
may sustain large population and
make it a prosperous state. And why
not? The little country of Finland,
which lioa between Sweden and Russia

one-fourth the aise of Alaska, has

that all that ia claimed for it la abso

If all Buffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs. i'inkham can do
all ahe says ahe can, their Buffering
would be at an end, for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cured.
There ia no more purellng thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knowa of aome woman whom Mrs.
Ftnkham has helped, aa the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request.
Tl, j same derangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, ami
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious inflamma
tions of the feminine organs which
completely wreck health.
Mrs. Plnkham invites women to
write freely and confidentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
of her great experience with the suf
ferings of women. No living person
can advise you so well. No remedy in

vast quantities of dairy products. The
anthor of the report, Professor C. C.
Ueorgeaon, who has charge of the in
vestigations, brought to Washington 1 1
varieties of spring whent, a dozen
varieties each of barley and oates, and
also rye, buckwheat and flax, all of
which had matured at the experiment
stations at Sitka and Kenai, in the
Kenai peninsula. The report states
that red clover lived through the winter
at Sitka, made a luxuriant growth
and matured seed, and that retches
and other forage plants did equally as
well. All of the common hardy veget
ablea were grown to perfection, some
cauliflower at Kenai measuring 14
inches across the head.
A statement by the superintendent
of the Alaska Commercial Company in
regard to his company's experience
with livestock at Kadiak is of more
than passing interest, because it reveals
possibilities in the stock industry
which are bound to be of much impor
tance in the future development of the

years kept cattle, sheep and Angora

Bradstreet'a aaya: Stormy weather
has retarded the development of spring
trade at many markets, interrupting
telegraph and railway communication
and nearly checking the movement of
merchandise. In prices, aggressive
strength ia still the feature of the cot

tail lines remain steady. Food prod
acta, however, have weakened, and
tome raw materials, like wool and hide
are quotable lower. Railway returns
continue to reflect large gains over a
year ago, though, as pointed 'out last
week, comparisons from now on will be
with last tor conditions in transportation
matters than a year ago, and phenom
anal gains are less likely of attainment
That underlying business conditions
are in a high degree healthful will be
gathered from the fact that business

those of the same mouth a year ago,

slanda it was not found necessary to
feed or shelter the cattle at all, winter
or snmmer. Year in and year out they
lived in the open and were maintained
solely by the native grasses, which are
abundant in all of Southwestern
Alaska. The herd increased yearly
about 75 per cent of the breeding cows.
A flock of Angora goats increased 60
per cent annually and gave very good
results in mohair. A flock of sheep
has been kept for the past 16 years on
pasture, the year around. Ihe in
crease was something over 60 per cent,
and the clip averaged about five
pounds of wool per head yearly. There
seems to be no doobt that animal hus
bandry can be successfully prosecuted
in different parts of Alaska.
Land for agricultural experiment sta
tions has been reserved at three places
in the coast region; namelv, at Sitka,
Kadiak and Cook Inlet, and develop
ment work waa begun the past season
at Sitka and Kenai. A headquarters
building was erected and partiully com
pleted at Sitka. It is to contain
offices, laboratory, library and quarters
for the person in charge. Most of the
scientific work will be done at Sitka.
The stations are equipped with work
oxen and all the tools necessary for
pioneer farming. The report ennrner
ates also the lines of experimentation
which are of chief interest to that
country. They include those which
relate to the improvement of the soil
the selection and improvement of small
grains, experiments with vegetables,
the introduction of fruits and experi
ments relating to the various branches
of livestock industry.

A. C. Pettys, ex county assessor of

Rich Claims lu I ho Klondike Country
Aeethellrlam In Mining Camps.
Some one said that man first works
for bread, then for butter on his bread
anil win exhaust nimaell to get sugar
ou the butter. There ia a great deal of
truth lu the remark; at least aa far aa
miners are concerned. They want the
beat when they have the price. They
are not so exacting to far aa flowers
and perfumes go. They are not neat h to
in their taste and inclinations, but
they want good clothing, good board
good magaaiuea and hooka and good
comfortable homes or lodgings. They
can rough it when necessary, take
their bacon aud beans as their every
day diet, sleep where night overtakes
them aud never whimper, growl or
grumble at their fare. They are m in
era aud take life as they liud it, not
as they would wish It to be. Of
course, they enjoy their bread, but will
take butter on it if they can get it, aud
will have the sugar if it doeut't cost
too much.
But a miner's life, and his custom
and habits do not lead him in the
direction of aestheticisiu. He ia a gun
tluman, but not a dude. He may be a
little rough in his ways and blunt in
his language, ut timss, well-meaning
aud kind-hearted nud disposed to do
the right thing under all circnm
stances. He may appear stum and un
yielding, but it should be borne in
mind that the minor is forced to meet
and overcome stern aud appareutlv tin
yielding conditions in hia daily avoca
tions. These conditions often find ex
pression in his denieauor.

A SIGNIFICANT LETTER.
New York City, Feb. 15, 1000.
My Dear Carlton: I know it will
please you to learn that my homeward
journey irom San Francisco was more
than pleasant. One striking feature
that added very much to my comfort
was the dining car service on the Kio
Graude Western and the Denver At Kio
Grande. This ia the finest service of
this description I have ever seen any
where, either in this country or abroad;
the food and cooking was all that could
be desired, uud at very moderate prices.
If you happen to know the liio Grande
Western pcoplo, I wish you would say
to them that it will afford mo the
greatest pleasure at all times to bear
testimony anywhere to the above facta.
Very truly yours,
All APPEAL TO HUMANITY GENERALLY

A good preparation for the toilet is
made by grating two tcaspoonsfnl of
white Castile soap, three or fonr of
orris root, powdered, and a handful of
oatmeal. Let all soak together in a
cupful of warm water for a couple of
hours; then add a few teaspoonsful of
this preparation to the water in which
you bathe. It is cheap, and good for
the skin.

The "pneuuitttophcr,' an Austrian
invention for enabling miners, firemen
etc., to breathe when surrounded by
after damp, smoke or noxious fumes
of any kind, consists of an air tilit
robber bug containing a steel Isittlu of
pure oxygen at a pressure of 100, liters,
and a metal protected glass Ixittio con
taining a 25 per cent solution of cuustiu
soda. The oxygen can be .admitted by
a hand screw into the bag and drawn
into the month through a rublier tube,
the nose being tlosod by a clip. The
turn of another haridscrew breaks tho
glass bottle, allowing the caustic soda
to flow out and be absorbed by a knitted
network in the bag to absorb the car
bonic acid exhaled, allowing the oxygen
to be rebreatheil, the appuratus being
capable of furnishing oxygen enough to
last from thirty to ninety minutes, as
has been attested by numerous exjieri-menta.
