Politics Absent
Talking politics. Delegate Suth
erland said to a representative of
the Fulrbunks-Xewi Miner recently:
" I have been urable to note any
intense Interest in political matters
since I came in over the trail. Out
on the creeks the interest of the
people seems to be ,'argely centered
in the possibilities of the future
dredging operations. The drilling
operations now being conducted on
Cleary Creek are. 'n my opinion,
of vital interest to this community,
ns the construction and operation
of dredges on the creeks adjacent
to Fairbanks, would mean a renewal
of an Industry almost equal to
that of early Fairbanks days, and
I am convinced that the operation
of dredges would mean the recovery
of as much, or possibly more, gold
than was taken from the richer
placers.
"Of course the improved trans
portation facilities will have much
to do with the development of the
dredging industry, so that with the
broad gauge railroad line completed
to Fairbanks and the creeks, the
movement of fuel and other com
niodlt.es used In tLe dredging busi
ness will be an entirely different
matter from the old river and
pack-horse syatem under which the
miners ot the past labored.
"It is generally predicted In tno
States that we are entering upon
an era of national prosperity. This
is not the optnlon of some one or
several sages, but the business men
of the country generally. The tex
tile strike in New England, was set
tled by granting the increase asked
(or by the laborers in the mills
as the mill products had accumulat
ed until the mill owners were com
pelled to yield. The steel Interests
advanced wages recently simply to
be able to meet their orders with
out anticipation ol labor troubles,
and this condition applies to virt
ually all manufacturing lines.
"It is, therefore, reasonable to
believe that improved conditions of
business in the States will mean a
national prosperity that must surely
extend to Alaska, and I believe that
capitalists, hesitating with regard
to Alaskan investments, will be
stimulated to action by the gen
eral prosperous trend of events."

ART IN CUTTING DIAMONDS
Peculiar Properties of the Preclout
Gem Must Be Thoroughly Under. '
stood by the Lapidary.
A diamond cutter, writing for tilt
London Mull, relate* some Interesting
facts is to forms Into which diamonds
are out to enhance their luster. A
diamond Is the hardest substance la
nature and cannot even be scratched
except with another diamond, while
some stones can be cut only with their
own powder.
Yet the hardest of all can he cleft
by a heavy blow delivered in the right
direction; that Is, parallel to the faces
of the eight sides which Its crystal
shows. It la this property that permits
the vary large stones, such as the "Cul
llnan" diamond, to be worked.
In spite of this, a diamond has the
simplest composition of all precious
stones, for it Is only crystallzed car
bon. and a near relation to ordinary
graphite, usually called "blackleod."
But It has been formed by enormous
pressure In the reno'ert depths of the
earth's crust, and probably forced to
ward the surface by ateam.
The principal forms into which a
diamond Is cut are:
Brllllnnts, with nn octagonal face
surrounded by many smaller fa rets.
Rosn diamonds, with a flat base,
above which are two rows of triangu
lar facets, the uppermost terminating
In a point.
Table diamonds, which are thin
stones cut with triangular facets.
What makes the diamond so pre
cious Is the presence of luward 'Are"—
the mysterious gleams of blue and red
that change with every movement, and
which makes such an appeal to our
sense of beauty.
The chunu of precious stones lies
In their brilliancy and luster, the In
tensity of the latter depending upon
the polish of the surface; for If the
stone Is dull or uneven the light Is
scattered and not reflected.
The only stom>s at all approaching
It are zircon aiid the green garnet
called "olivine." The luster of all
other stones Is vitreous, auoh as seen
on the surface of hrnken glass. And
the third type Is that shown by reslnt.
In order to bring out the full beauty
of a stone It must be cut In such a
nay that the facets reveal lta splen
dor, and the nrt of the lapidary rests
upon his knowledge of what becomes
of the light when It falls upon the
stone; so he must understand the laws
of reflection and refraction.
When a white light Is refracted Into
r. colorless stone It changes and Is split
up Into a spectrum. Since the refrac
tive Inder Increases progressively as
the wavelength of the light decreases,
a normal spectrum Is violet at one end
and passes through green and yellow
to red at the other end; for Instance.
In the familiar rainbow. The width of
the spectrum also varies, and It Is
this "dispersion" that determines the
"Are."
It would be difficult to name eny
substance around which has been
woven such a weh of romance.
Safety Deposit Fr»e.
The story comes from Soottsburg
and It shows all the shrewd persons
are not In the large centers of popu
lation. A stranger of ordinary ap
pearance and apparently of moderate
means walked Into the bank and
asked to borrow $5. He was told the
bank did not loan such small sums,
but when he Insisted that the business
of a bank was to loan money, that he
needed the sum mentioned, and that
he had good collateral, the note was
made out, the banker regarding It ai
a good Joke. Then the stranger
pulled out $10,000 worth of Liberty
bonds as collateral and left them, re
marking that at another bank they
had wished to charge him $6 for a
safety deposit box to keep them In.
hut now the bank would keep them for
him free, and he would have the hank's
$5 to amuse himself with.—Indianap

Thinking and Doing.
"It Is perfectly easy to write '1922'
!f you only think what you are doing."
remarks the Boston Globe.
That Is one of the great Ifs that
continually Interpose hazards and oIk
stacles In the path of the weary mun
dane pilgrim. Possibly It Is the most
Important one of all. The majority
of our errors and sins of omission, es
pecially those of a minor character,
are due to our fntlure to think what
we are doing. But the mere recogni
tion of this failure and the earnest
desire to correct It will not prove suf
ficient In most cases as an effectual
remedy. The great trouble is that It
Is practically Impossible to thluk what
one Is doing In very many particu
lars.

askan Is as good as a letter.

YOUR
KIDNEYS?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.
Many people never suspert their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching hack they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is where the
danger often lies. You should real
ize that these troubles often lead to
dropsy or Bright's disease. An ef
fective remedy for weak or diseased
Kidneys is Doar.'s Kidney Pills. Res
idents of this vicinity are constantly
testifying.
Mrs. Victor Wagner, 534 N. Ce-iior
St., Reno, Nev., sr^s: "The flr3t
symptom of kidney trouble in my
case was lame buck. I had sharp
pftiiis in my buck w'lich Bhot up from
the small of my back and after do
ing a day's wr.sliing I could hardly
straighten. My kidneys actcd irreg
ularly and caused me annoyance. 1
suffered from terrible pain in t':e top
of my head. I saw Dean's Kidney
Pills advertised and bought a box.
Thuy helped me from the start ani
They helped me from the start and
soon cured me."
