Last volunteered | gathered | CABLE T0 CRO5S NORTHERN SEAS ESERAE R Ocean Telegraph Line, With .the American End at Valdez, Alaska, Projected WILL SHORTENDISTANCE Corporations in Iey Region Trying to Make Purchase of Government System -— The prospects are that the laying of another cable between America and the Orient with its western terminus in Alas- ka, will be commenced at a very early date. | "A. E. Boyd, president of the North American Cable and Telegraph Company, and vice president of the Alaska Tele- | graph and Telephone Company, is in this city from his headquarters at Nome, | where he has spent the last six years. It is his first trip out during that period. The North American Company recently made application to lease or buy from the cable and land lines belonging to and op- erated by the United States in Alaska. This embraces about 1600 miles and in- cludes the lines from Seattle to Nome. The Alaska Telegraph Company already has constructed and is the owner of 600 miles of lines in Alaska, in the vicinity of Seward Peninsula. The Government lines have been oper- ated so far at a loss. If these are sold or leased to the North American Com- pany, which is affiliated with the Alaska Telegraph Company, the two will at once commence the construction of a cable line across the North Pacific. It is the intention to build a cable from Valdez to Dutch Harbor, thence to Kais- ka Island, and thence to Vladivostok. This covers a distance of 4500 miles. It is reported that the two companies have unlimited financial backing for the great work they propose to undertake. The route over which the proposed new cable is to run has been thoroughly in- vestigated, and is feasible in every way. r. Boyd has brought his family with him from Nome. They enjoyed life in that section of the country and spent much of their time in driving over the territory adjacent to Nome. Mr. Boyd will leave early next week for New York, the head offices of the two companies he is identified with.

Smith of Oak- land have made an offer to Mills Col- lege of $50,000 as an endowment fund, provided an additional $50,000 is raised by commencement day, May 23, 1906. Mr. and Mrs. Smith offer the money to the college for the endowment of the Mary Smith chair of domestic science in the college. Should the entire $100,~ 000 be raised it will be the second in- stallment toward the proposed mil- lion-dollar endowment started by the friends of the college some time ago, the first $100,000 having been raised. Great interest attaches to this offer, because if the college is so fortunate as to meet the conditions of the gift it will be the first woman's college In the United States to have a liberally endowed department of domestic sclence. It is therefore hoped that earnest effort may at once be made to raise the required $50,000 and that this inspiring beginning of the new year may mean great things for Mills Col- lege. ———— Oriental Children as Guests.

Showing How Cause and Effect Are Never Far Removed. It is an old saying “Where there’s honey there's bees’—not less true Is one which science has coined more re- cently, “Where there's Dandruff there's germe'—and—to push the inference still further we may truly say “Where there’s Dandruff cured Newbro's Herp- icide has been at work.” The reason of Herplicide's isolation as a genuine cure for Dandruff lies in the fact that it attacks and destroys the root of the whole trouble—a parasitic germ which feeds upon the material which nourishes the hair follicle.
