ANOTHER STEP ONWARD
The change ot the schedule of the

ports in Prince William sound, marks
another step in the establishment ot
Seward's place as the chief seaport

COAL TRUST FORCED
INDEPENDENTS OUT
B- Cable to Tbe Daily Gateway.
*’hiladelphia. May 2"> Several inde-■
p> ndent coal operators will testify be*
fo-e the intt t state commerce commis
sion that they were forced out of busi
ness by the railroads, which refused to
carry the independent product on the
pretense that they were short of cars,
widle at the same time they were I
furnishing the coal trust with all the
cars required. This enabled the trust
to control prices and to keep the inde
pendents out of the markets when they
desired.
Trapper Frozen Todeath
Charles Nelson, a trapper well
known around Kenai for several years,
was frozen to death on the trail from
that place to the headwaters of Moose
river about tin* middle of the winter.
His Ixxly was found by a native a short
time ago about twenty-five miles from
Kenai. He left the town in the cold
weather last winter on a trapping ex
pedition and as he never returned his
acquaintances understood that he had
been frozen to death on the trail.
S. W. Wible Not Badly hurt
It is learned from Sunrise that S. W.
Wible, the mining man, was not seri
ously hurt by the accident he suffered
a few days ago by his horse falling
with him. He was somewhat bruised
hut his injuries are not serious.

ST. CHARLES
EVAPORATED CREAM
In making St. Charles Cream we do not
use sugar. We take the best of milk and
reduce it to the consistency of a very rich
cream by evaporation. We do not use
acids or other antiseptics, but by the
scientific application of heat we destroy
all disease germs and all possibility of
fermentation. This is the reason why
St. Charles Cream keeps indefinitely and
will not curdle either in digestion or in
cooking. St. Charles Cream, when diluted
with pure water, is humanized milk.
It is the best food known to
science for infants and inva
lids. It is better than the best
ordinary milk or cream for all
purposes—and just as cheap.
