Lea*tied scientists, at a meeting of a
host of them, have definitely deter-1
nut ed that the ordinary willow, which j
grows hereabouts and elsewhere, can
successfuH\ be applied toward reveal
ing the presence of subterranean
streams, 'i h * way to do it is to take a j
forked willow, hold a prong in each
hand, w ith the main branch standing
upright. Walk about over the surface
of the ground. When you pa>s over«
a subterranean tiow of water, the j
branch w ill reverse itself and point j
earthward. This will prove an easy j
way to find old channels, when pros
pecting tor gold placers.
Hue to the enterprise ot business
firms o! Seward, the folder advertising
the MntMHiska-Nelebina ^dti fields is
assured, 'riiousands of these inform
inif foidere are to bt* issued and will
probably be ready for distribution ne.vt
week. When you have a legitimate
matter to boost, the tiling to do is to
in and boost it. li you are seekintr
ai inert use in trade, go after it. And
advertising, properly applied, is the
the best way to i*et it.
About a month hence, according to
the best information on the subject now
available, the congress will take m>
the bill for the buildiu&r of a trovern
ftient railway in Akisku. And it s a
two to one bet that the bill will pass.
We have a few dimes to wa^er this
wav. And when the bill passes, watch

American rail
roads are the fastest
and safest in the world.
The American trainman
counts his time in seconds.
Foreign railroad men carry no
such watch as the HOWARD.
Official inspection of railroad
watches exists in no other country.
HOWARD Railroad Watches (lever
setting) arc officially certified and adopted
by the time inspectors of one hundred and
forty of the leading railroads of America.
Better than that, their daily performance
is finer, more accurate than the most exact
ing railroad requirements.
The balance-wheel of the HOWARD
I Watch is made of special hard-tempered
steel—will not knock out of true with the
jar and vibration of railroad Service.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is fixed
—railroad models $50 to $140—and a
printed price-ticket attached.
We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. ^ ^
