A new Alaska railroad is projected
by a company called the Short Line j
Development & Construction Com-1
pany, which has tiled articles of incor
poration in the secretary of state's of
fice at Olympia, Wash. The articles
do not givo the route to be taken by
the road. The capital stock is placed
at $3,000,000. The incorporators are
Theodore Flammer and Martin B. Bos
worth of Seattle. The principal office
of the company will be in Seattle.
RHEUMATISM
When pains or irritation exist ou any
part of the body, the application of!
Ballard's Snow Liniment gives prompt
relief. E. VV. SOllivau, Prop. Sullivan
House El Reno, O. T., writes, June G,
1902: "I take pleasure in recommend
ing Ballard's Snow Liniment to all who
are afflicted with rheumatism. It is the
only remedy I have found that gives I
immediate relief." 25c, 50c, $1.00. Sold
by J. Henbner.
Some one Lbs figured out from the
customs report that enough whisky
was drunk in Nome in 1904 to make
500 drinks for every man in the camp.
Supposing that a quarter of the popu
lation drank none at all. then the av
erage Nome driuking man took 025
drinks last year. Kvery camp has a
few men who drink at least ten times
as much as the average tippler; and
calculating from this we come to the
conclusion that Nome's leading drink- j
ing men each took 0,250 drinks during
the year?or 17 each week day, 20 each
Sunday, 34 on Christmas, 25 on St. i
Patrick's Day and 25 on the Fourth of
July.
STOP THAT COUGII
When a cough, a tickliug or an irrita
tion in the throat makes you feel
*
uncomforable, take Ballard's Hore-1
hound Syrup. Don't wait until the
disease has gone beyond control. Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Anderson, 354 West 5th
St., Salt Lake City. Utah, write: "We
think Ballard's Horehound Syrup the
best mediciue for cougns ami colds.
We have used it for several years; it
always gives immediate relief, is very
pleasant and gives perfect satisfaction.''

A Sitka man has gone east for the j
purpose of enlisting capital in the es-j
tablishment of a wood pulp factory in
some part of Alaska, probably iu the
neighborhood of Sitka. There iscertaiu
ly au opening for an industry of the !
kind in Alaska, and its establishment
would be a benefit to the district and to
the whole Pacific coast. But two iu- (
dustries thus far have been established
in Alaska, mining and the fisheries, i
Both are well established, however, and
the annual product of either would
look large in any state or territory.
There is as good an opportunity for the
establishment of other industries in
Alaska as in any other part of the
country. There is the raw material
needed, cheap transportation by water,
and a good climate. In Southeastern
Alaska the climate is far better than in
the states where the wood-pulp indus
try is established and conducted on a
large scale. There is no reason to
doubt that a wood-pulp plant in the
neighborhood of Sitka would be a com
mercial success. There is raw ma
terial in abundance; there is cheap land '
and a healthful climate. Labor would
have to be imported to a very consid- j
erable extent; but there would be no
serious difficulty in securing it,, if the
real advantages of a location in Alaska |
were understood. If one plant is es- j
tabli9hed and proves profitable, it will'
be the pioneer of other industries of the j
eame or of a similar character.?P.-1.

COLIC AND DIARR1IOEA?A REM- j
EDY THAT IS PROMPT AND
PLEASANT
The prompt results produced by j
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar- j
rhoea Remedy together with its pleas
ant taste have won for it a place in
many households. Mr. W. T. Taylor, I
a merchant of Winslow, Ala., writes:'
"I have used Chamberlain's Colic, Choi- j
era and Diarrhoea Remedy myself and j
also with men on my place, for diar- j
roheaaud colic and it always gives relief |
promptly and pleasantly." For sale!
