Washington, Feb. 26. An Interest
ing, report on the salmon fisheries of
Alaska has junt been Issued by the
department of commerce and labor.
Howard M. Kutchin, the ugent who
prepared the report, did some trav
elling according to his report, while
on the assignment. Says he: "I left
Washington May 28, and between
that time und my return, traveled
8247 miles by sea and 7S22 by land,,
a total of 16,069. Time gpeant aboard
ship was 8" days. About 250 miles
wore covered In launch and small
bout.
"Although the salmon pack lit
some fisheries of Alaska shows a fall
ing off, the pack of the world for
this year was nearly a million and
a half cases greater than last. The
total number of canneries In oper
ation this year wan 47, against 65 in
1901. There We're 22 saltcries,
against 18 last season. The number
of firms or Individuals engaged In the
business is 43, aguinst 40 in 1904. The
aggregate capital stock employed in
the business Is 111.371,150, being a
decrease In this Item of $2,575,350
from the reported capitalization of
last year.
This reduction is largely accounted
for by the withdrawal from the field
of tho Pacific Packing' & Navigation
company, which represented a capi
tal of 13.000,000. The Northwestern
Fisheries company, which succeeded
to the ownership of the major part
of Its business, is capitalized at $1,
000,000. The value of plants Is plac
ed at $5,728,978. being $156,878 less
than lust year, which Is due to the
fact that a number of canneries are
Idle and are not taken account of.
"The season's pack foots up 1,889,-
015 cans and 18,881 barrels together
with 7,565,009 pounds of dry-suited
fish. In 1904 the aggregate was
1.953,745 cases and 15,407. Being
reduced to cases, the figures are 2,
059,119 for 1905 against 2,012,928 in
1904. While there Is actually a loss
of 64,731 cases of canned salmon,
the total output for the year shows
a gain of the equivalent of 46,191
cases, which Is explained by the largo
Increase of suited and dry-cured fish.
The total value of the product
amounts to $6,563,655 against 17,-
736.782 last year."

ANOTHER FLOATING DRY DOCK.
If Built n Planned Will Have Largo
Machine Shops.
Washington, Feb. 26. The navy
deportment officluls are anxious to
have authorized at the present ses
ton of congress at least one float'
lng dry dock, to be stationed In home
waters. The site selected Is Solomon's
Island, In Chesapeake bay, which Is
admirably adapted for the purpose.
Should such a dock be constructed,
"This la no time for mirth or laughter,

It will possess a, new feature In an

yalue of a mlnluture navy yard, with
the additional advantage of being
able to proceed from place to placa
and save the time of ships which are
needed in certain localities.
Naval strategists have come to re
alize that the floating dock Is an Im
portant factor in maintaining the ef
ficiency of the fleet and In giving tho
fighting ships greater value on the
firing line.

22,000-TON HATTLESHIP.
Effort May He Made to Rival Eng
land's Record Breaker.
Washington, Feb. 26. In the dis
cussion by the nuval experts concern
ing the designs of the battleship or
several battleships to be authorized
at the present session of congress.
there Is already observed a difference
of opinion concerning the displace
ment, i
The general board Is In favor and
has urgently recommended a dis
placement of 18,000 tons, as compar
ing with the 16,000-ton displacement
plan, which Is considered Inferior to
battleships of more recent design now
under construction by Great Britain,
France and Russia. It Is believed,
however, that the 2000 tons addition
al displacement recommended by the
general board Is not sufficient; at
least, such an opinion Is expressed
by certain naval officers. Including
Rear Admiral Capps, the chief con
structor of the navy. It Is pointed
out that If the displacement of the
new battleship Is to be Increased It
might as well be made 20,000 tons.
It Is considered that the 2000 tons
extra will not give the benefit of
spcxl and Increased battery - which
will compensate for the extra cot of
the enlargement.
It Is evident that the discussion of
this point will be most Interesting and
that out of the agitation will develop
a battleship In this country, which
will surpass In size, speed, protection
and armament anything of the same
class: designed or building abroad.
Each year these advances In battle
ship designs have been considered as
marking the end of their develop
ment, but each year some new feat
ure has been adopted so that It Is con
sidered the development of the bat
tleship has by no means terminated.
The matter Is still under consider
ation by the naval authorities and it
Is expected that even after a definite
decision has been reached, the fight
over the tonnage mny be carried right
Into congress.

Denver, Feb. 26. The lncorpora
tlon of the Denver, Laramie & North
western Railway company, for $5,000,
000, In Wyoming by Robert H. Dwyer,
of Pueblo; Sydney J. Kent, of Lin
coln, Neb., and J. D. Millken, of Kan
sas City, has caused the trunk line
people In Denver much worry over
the probable Interests that are be
hind the Denver, Yellowstone & Pa
cific, which Is the parent of the new
enterprise.
Recently the Denver, Yellowstone
& Pacific company recorded In Den
ver a mortgage depd of trust securing
$8,000,000 of first mortgage bonds
for the construction of the line. The
same syndicate recently formed In
Denver a terminal corporation, a sub
sidiary concern, to secure terminal fa
cilities here. It is the purpose of the
syndicate, whose head Is In Boston,
to build from Denver through Wyo
ming, Montana, Idaho and Washing
ton, the objective point being Seattle.
The distance Is 17,000 miles. Sur
veys have been made through Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado and
rights of way secured.
The line Is regarded as Inimical to
the Colorado & Southern, because It
will practically parallel that system's
proposed northwest extension. A re
port that Harrlman is behind the Yel
lowstone project to fight the Hill in
terests In the northwest, has been dented.
SNAKE RIVER IS RISING.
Luck of Snow Precludes Any Likeli
hood of a MkIi Stage.
Yesterday the Snake river register
ed three and two-tenths feet above low
water mark, says the Lewlston Tri
bune. The mild weather tf the past
week has started the snow melting In
the foothills and It Is reported that
many of the small mountain streams
flowing into the Snake and Clear
water rivers are on a rampage.
Parties from near the heudwaters
of the Asotin creek state that a heavy
wind occurred in that section the first
of the week, accompanied by rain,
which melted the snow very rapidly
and the bare ground can now be seen
In many places which a few days be
fore were covered by several Inches of
snow. P.eports also come from the
prairie country and upper Clearwater
that the snow Is disappearing and a
further rise in the rivers may be
looked for.
The Snake river Is now at an excel
lent boating stage and the boats am
making the runs with ease and carry
ing laige cargoes at each trip.
While the snowfall in the moun
tains was quite heavy during the
early part of the winter there has
been a noticeable decrease in the nan.
al amount for January and F'ebruary
and unless It goes off with a rush, It
Is predicted that the river will not
reach a very high stage this season.

Downward Tendency In Price, anil
Taxes Are Due.
The purchase of nearly 250,000
bushels of wheat by dealers and mill
men of Walla Walla county during
the post 10 days on the average basis
of 61 cents for club and 62 cents for
bluestem, Is one of the most Import
ant commercial events for some
time.
The recent sales are attributed to
the continued downward tendency in
price, as well as the fact that It is
now nearly tax time and farmers who
have Interest, warehouse charges, In

load as there Is no indication of an
immediate chnnge for the better In

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quali
ties which inspire admira
tion, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition ; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de
stroyed. What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head! A sickly, half-dead-and-alive
woman,
especially when she it
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con
stant illness is a serious
drain upon the funds of a
household, and too often all the doc
toring doe no good.
If a woman finds her energies are
flagging, and that everything tires her,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams; if she has backache, head
aches, bearing-down pains, nervous
ness irregularities, or despondency, she
should take means to build her system
np at once by a tonic with specific
powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women of America than
all other medicines put together. It is
the safeguard of woman's health.
Following we publish, by request, a
letter from a young wife.
Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, of 611 South 10th
Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" Ever since my child was born I bars suf
fered, as I hope few women ever have, with
Inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomach so that I could not en
Joy my meals, and half my time was spent
In bed.
"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and I feel so grate
ful that I am glad to write and tell you of
my marvelous recovery. It brought ma
health, new life and vitality."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for other woman who are in poor
health and ailing.
Its benefits begin when its use begins.
It gives strength and vigor from the
start, and surely makes sick women
well and robust.
Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's Vega
table Compound holds the record for
the greatest number of actual cures of
woman's ills. This fact is attested to
by the thousands of letters from grate
ful women which are on file in the
Pinkham laboratory.
Women should remember that a cure
for all female diseases actually exists,
and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham'.
Vegetable Compound.
If you have symptoms yon dont
understand write to Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass., for special advice. The
firesent Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-n-law
of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assis
tant before her decease, and " for
twenty-five years since her advice has
been freely given to sick women.
