On Head. Itched and
Earned. Could Not Sleep.
" A large ringworm suited on my
head. E«ch day it grew larger and
itched and burred so that I used to
have to get up at night and bathe it.
The hair mound it fell out and be
came very dry. I could not sleep at
night on account of the irritation.
"The trouble lasted about a
month. I began using Cuticuru
Soap and Ointment and after using
about three cakes of Cuticura Soap
und two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
1 was completely healed." (Signed)

The Associated Oli Company has
recently added one more tractor to
its equipment, which makes (our of

hauling supplies, the Standard and
Associated each using two
Seventeen miles of the road from
Kanatak to Pear Dome Creek, are
now completed. Hanling of supplies
is however, a slow and laborious
process. There are three grades on
the road so far. at each one of wh<°ch
it Is necessary to unload a portion of
the cargo and back track. The
trucks start with ten tons but at
the steepest of grades are only able
to carry two. This is due to a great
extent to the condition of road, mak
ing It impossible for the machine to
obtain traction.
There are now about two hundred
and fifty men at Kanatak and vicin
ity and all of them are not employ
ed. As thet'e is no probability of
employment increasing the popula
tion will no doubt fall off this win
ter.
Former estimates that drilling will
commence October 20, now appear
to bo revised. It is stated on good
authority that the companies will
probably not be in shape to drill
this winter. This Is due to the dif
ficulty experienced in transporting
lumber and supplies. The winter will
be devoted to building camps and
living quarters.
Good bunks can be had in sever
al of the bunk houses for fifty cents
per night, and the Evans store here
is selling staples such as coffee by
the case for 50 cents per pound; su- i
gar $12.50 per sack: flour, $7 per
hundred, and milk $7 per case,
which is nearly as cheap as these
articles can be bought In the most
settled towns of the coast.
Lots are selling here Tor $500 for
corner ones, and $300 for inside
lots. These are 30 by 110 and sales
are made on a $10 per front foot
basis.
A new wharf will be built here
this winter and by spring arrange
ments will be made to take care of
the travel.
The new hotel building is com
pleted.
LOEW VICTOR MAKES PORT
FROM IDITROU O^THICT
The power boat Loew Victor,
with Captain GiUls at the wheel, ar
rived In port this morning from
Iditarod, being twelve days making
the voyage The Journey was made
leisurely, In company with tho
steamer Martha Clow. The boata
parted company six mites above Tan
ana, tho Victor coming on ahead and
the Clow being due tomorrow morn
ing. Captain Glllls was nccompa
nied on the trip by Mrs. Glllis, and
the" only passenger was F. V. Mur
phy. The clow has about 24 pas
sengers.
Mr. Murphy, who spent the sum
mer in ifie-" IdUurod district, says
that the output of the camp (or the
season will \>e considerably more
than that of last year, probably
$75,000 more. And this in spite of
the fact that a number of operators
on Flat had bad luck during the
summer and the further fact that
one of the operating dredges will
not get into the money until about
closing down time.
Some good cleanups are reported
from the Upgrade association on
Flat, and the Beaton & Donnelly
dredge is cleaning up $10,000
every nine days. The dredge of the
Riley Investment Company, is clean
ing up about $3000 every nine
days, but It Is expected that It will
have a good season next year. Both
dredges are operating In theOtter
district.
Many of the oldtimers of the
Iditarod district are talking Cold
Bay and there will be considerable
movement In that direction during I
the winter. It is reported that the
Iditarod bank will be moved to the
new oil field.
Like other sections or Alaska, the
Iditarod had much rain during the
summer, and a good stage of water
In the Iditarod river levels are
season. But the river levels are
lowering fast now, low water being
particularly noticeable along the
tauiaiMK
The little steamer Nenana, wh'ch
Is owned and operated by Will Sher

Small City Built
By Electric Co.
Seattle, Nov. 8.—A miniature
city lighted by electricity from lta
own plant and erected from lumber
cut by its own sawmill, was recently
completed at the site of the city of I
Seattle's hydroelectric project on!
(iorge Creek, 100 miles northeast ofj
here, to house employes and their I
families.
The first step In the project was
to install the employes In comforta
ble quarters, which meant providing
homes and means ror recreation.
The site is 26 miles from the termi
nus of a branch lin9 of the Great
Northern railroad without even a
good wagon road over which ma
chinery and materials might be
transported. City engineers finally
dicided to construct a standard
gauge railroad over the mountains
to the scene of their work.
A few months later engines that
were to drive the mill were hauled
over the new railroa.l and presently
were delivering lumber at the rate
of 25,000 board feet a day. Another
few weeks and the town, with its'
commissary, its athletic fields, mov-l
ies, library, dance hall, homes, took I
Its place on tho map of Washing
ton.
That a power plant was construct
ed to supply light and later to op
erate all machinery used In connec
tion with the development. To ac
complish this a timber crib diver
sion dam was built on Newhalem
creek nearby. From this dam a 2,-i
6S9-foot tunned carries the water!
to the power plant on the Skagit riv
er where the generators create 3,000
horsepower.
This preliminary work paved the
way for the construction of a plant
on Gorge creek, now about half fin
ished. to deliver from its two gener
at.ng units 50,000 horsepower of
current to Seattle, representing a
cost of $9,700,000. It will be so
constructed, however, that with the
addition of a proposed second unit
its capacity will be increased to 112,
»00 horsepower and the cost to $13 -
000,000.
The ultimate problem In connec
tion with this project, according to
city officials, will be to find a mar
ket for the electrical energy thus
developed. Tho municipality own
ed street railway, now buying its
power from a private concern, will
take a portion of the surplus,' and
It is predicted that, with the lower
rates enabled by the municipal proj
ect, the citizens of Seattle will ab
sorb most of the remainder.
In addition, a third unit to the
project is being considered, the es
timated total output then being
555.000 horsepower, sufficient it is
believed to supply the needs of all
western Washington. The unit,
however, will probably not be con
structed for many years.
WHO WILL GET STRING OF
PEARLS PRINCE COLLECTING
London, Nov. 8.—The Prince of I
Wales and hia pearls are causing a
great deal of whispering by the Lon
don firesides these chill autumn j
days.
The Prince, according to popular
reports, is collecting pearls from all
corners of the globe 111 order that he
may have made for himself one of
the most wonderful pearl necklaces
In history. Experts are understood
to have been instructed by the
t'rince to secure the best-matched
and most perfect pearls obtainable.
Who is going to get this string of
pearls? That's what London wants
to know. Everybody's guessing, but
the Prince isn't telling even his con
fidents.
WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC
AGAIN STIRS LONDON
London, Nov. 8.—London la ex
cited about new threats of "white
slave traffic." An increase in the
cocaine habit is responsible for re
newed fear of "white slavers." Miss
Hall of the Church Army, is author
ity for the statement that the "co
caine plague" is worse than at any
time since this habit first became a
war-time vice. The police are more
vigorous In their operations against
the "dope fiends" and promise to
clear the situation up in a short
time. "The white slave organizers
are at the back of the cocaine traf
fic," Miss Hail charges.

In This Country
Haraakuapoko, Island of Maui,
T. H„ Nov. 8.—Coal strikes, warn
ings that the forests of the world
may soon disappear If conservation
Is not practiced, predictions that the
petroleum supply cf the world may
soon be exhausted and the high
price of gasoline, have no terrors for
the inhabitants of this small com
munity, for they cook, heat their
houses and run their automobiles on
alcohol which is generated by a new
ly discovered process from molasses.
The process was evolved by J. P.
Foster, head chemist of the Maul
Agricultural company and has been
patented in all of the sugar produc
ing countries of the world, he said.
Heretofore, molasses always bad
been considered a waste product In
sugar milling.
Originally, the alcohol produced
by Foster was used only in the com
pany trucks and automobiles but la
ter, enough was manufactured to
supply employees of the plantation
who live in Haraakuapoko. A sim
ple apparatus composed of a few thin
pipes and an open oi rner is requir
ed to burn the alcohol to supply
heat for cooking, and these have
been placed in all the houses here.
Foster said that Maul can produce
only enough alcohol 1 n this fashion
to supply the needs of the islands'
population and that no surplus
would be available for use on the
bther islands of Hawaii.
