Cough medicines, Ayer's Cherry Peo
toral is in greater demand than ever
No preparation for Throat and Lung
Troubles is so piompt in its effects, sc
agreeable to the taste, and .so widelj
known, as this. It is the family medi
cine in thousands of households.
"I have suffered for year from a
bronchial trouble that, whenever 1 take
cold or am exposed to inclement weath
er, shows itself by a very annoying
tickling sensation in the throat and by
difficulty in breathing. I have tried a
great many remedies, but none does so
well as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral which
always gives prompt relief in returns of
my old complaint." Ernest A. Ifepler,
Inspector of Public Roads, Parish Ter
re Bonne, La.
" I consider Aj er'.s Cherry Pectoral a
most important remedy
For Home Use
I have tested its curative power, in my
family, many times during the past
thirty years, and have never known it
to fail. It will relieve the most serious
affections of the throat and lungs,
whether in children or adults." Mrs.
E. G. Edgerly, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
"Twenty, veare -ago I was troubled
with a disease of the lungs. Doctors
afforded me no relief and considered
ray case hopeless. I then began to use
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and, before I
had finished one bottle, found lelief. I
continued to take this medicine until a
cure was effected. I believe that Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral saved my life."
Samuel Griggs, "Waukegau, 111.
" Six years ago I contracted a severe
cold, which settled on my lungs and
soon developed all the alarming symp
toms of Consumption. I had a cough,
night sweats, bleeding of the lungs,
pams in chest and sides, and was so
prostrated as to be confined to my
bed most of the time. After trying
various prescriptions, without benefit,
my physician finally determined to give
me Ayer's Cherry "Pectoral. I took it,
and the effect was magical. I seemed
to rally from the first dose of this
medicine, and, after using only three
bottles, am as well and sound as ever."

THE ALASKA COMMERCIAL CO.
Its Ideas Bespecting The Situation.
Louis Slosa of the Alaska Com
mercial comp'any, in speaking of Al
askan matters, said yesterday: 'Onr
lease expires on the 1st of May next,
bat if the present state of affairs con
tinues the company will not vant to
renewthe lease, and I do not think
any other company will. Illicit seal
ing is ueing continually uuu yeiaiot
ently carried on by a desperate and
criminally inclined class of men. The
number of piratical vessels inBeh
rinpr sea is greater this year than
formerly. Tho government cutter
has done what it could, but it is en
tirely powerless to watch the whole
region."
"There has been probably 30,000
skins stolen by the private sealing
vessels, and fully 50,000 or 60,000
other 6eals killed. The government
must afford some protection, or the
lease will be worthless. Fur-bearing
seals are rapidly diminishing in
numbers, and at the present rate of
indiscriminate slaughter a seal will
soon be as rare aB a buffalo- The
Alaska company has taken about one
hundred thousand skins this year, a
smaller number than usual. And not
only are the seals becoming less, but
they are smaller than formerly. IiBst
season 1,700 casks were required to
pack 100,000 pelts; this year the same
amount of skins were put in 1,505
casks. Unless we could be guaran
teed absolute protection against ille
gal sealing, we would under no cir
cumstances renew the lease."
"This is the first year that any in
surance has been placed in O mi a las
ka, and the rates are high. If a rev
enue cutter should bring any captured
sealers to Ounalaska, it is almost a
foregone conclusion that'a riot would
occur there, and much damage would
result by fire and destruction of pro
perty. Such an occurrence is pro
bable at any time, and the possibility
of it happening is a standing menace
to the people of Alaskan ports, owing
to the criminal and brutal character
of the outlawed sealer3."
Regarding other industries in our
Northern Territory, Mr. Sloss said:
"As it is with seals, so it is with sal
mon. It was thought that tho Alas
kan salmon supply was inexhaustible,
but the experience of this year teach
es differently. The canneries have
reduced the amount of salmon very
materially. As an illustration, one
establishment that last season put up
100,000 cases, was only able this year,
even with more men and increased
exertion, to secure 50,000 cases
"Unlimited and unrestricted war
on any species of animal, in land or
water, will produce but one result
annihilation."
"There are some forests "iu Alaska,
but on account of the distance, they
will never be of any commercial im
portance until all the timber lands
nearer to market Jiave been denuded.
Timber can never bo brought from
Alaska, while "Washington or British
Columbia have forests standing."
"I am inclined to believe that Alas
ka must depend for her future pros
pectB upon her mineral wealth. Un
doubtedly, there are vast stores of
gold and silver locked up in veins
and lodes, and when the seals and
salmon are no more, there will un
doubtedly be a more systematic ef
fort made to develop the hidden re
sources. S. F. Bulletin. 12.

Oapt. Groulding of the British ship
British Army has had men dredg

seems scarcely possible that Gibbs

Jack, of Amity, was elected a member,
vice Clay Burcli, who has moved to
McMinnville. T. J. Hsirris was elect

little could be learned of the proceed
ings, but it is understood Gov. Pen
noyerwas heartily endorsed. They
endorsed his policy toward tho fish

hope of electing the legislature, but
the big fight is to be made for the re
election of Pennoyer.
WHAT "WIMAN DID.
Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 14. Wm. E.
Curtis, manager of the Pan-American
excursion, is much excited over the re
sults of the Erastus Wiman dinner to
the delegates at Niagara Falls last
night. Curtis says Wiman was one of
the committee on entertainment at
New York, and subsequently asked
that he be allowed to give the dele
gates a dinner at Niagara Falls. Cur
tis replied that Blaine's instructions
were that no formalities should be en
tered in on Sunday during the trip;
that the delegates should be allowed
to do as they liked on that day. It
finally was arranged when Wiman
should give a dinner, hut that it
should be entirely informal, and that
there should be no speeches. Uurtis
says notwithstanding this, Wiman left
copies of his proposed speech with the
newspapers in New York before leav
ing. Curtis this morning telegraphed
Blaine that Wiman had acted in bad
faith. The party reached here from
Niagara Falls this morning and were
driven m carnages to tlie city hall,
where they were received by the may
or and others, and then driven about
the city.
A BAHjROAD IjAKD decision.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 14. Sec
retary Noble to-day rendered an nn
portant decision in the case of Sam
uel li. Uhilds vs. the Southern Jacihc
railroad company. Childs applied to
make a homestead entry, which was
rejected by the local officers sit the
Los Angeles land district in California
on the ground that the tract was with
in ine primary uinus oi uiu "jmm 10
the railroad company of July 27, I860.
The case came before the secretary on
an appeal from a decision by t'ae com
missioner of the general land office,
which affirmed the action of the local
office in rejecting the application, up
on the ground that the tract was em
braced, at the date with the com
pany's rights attached under its grant,
within the exterior boundary or
claimed limits of certain Mexican
private land grants known as the San
Jacinto, Viejo and San Jacinto Nuevo;
and being, upon final survey smd def
inite location of said grants subse
quently made, excluded from the lim
its thereof and thereby restored to
tlie public domain, was subject to
homestead entry at the date when
appellant's application to enter the
same Tvas made.
The secretary, in his decision to
day, holds that the grants named
were "floats" embraced within the
outside limits of a larger area, and
that if such larger area lies within the
limits of said land grant made in aid
of tho railroad, such laud grant would
take effect, except as to the quantity
of land or "float" actually granted in
the Mexican grant; aud if that quan
tity lying together was left to satisfy
the Mexican grant, the railroad com
pany would be entitled to patents
for the odd sections of the remainder.
The action of tlie general land office is
therefore affirmed. This decision
follows that of the supreme court in
the case of tho United States vs.
'McLaughlin, rendered May 14, 1888,
anil practically overruled as previous
decisions of the interior department
in similar cases.
