WAR A MEDICINE.
(Beattie K-l.)
While war and its attendant death
are serious and ultimate Issues with
the average man, the theosophical view
us outlined holds these in the light
of natural remedies for an aberrant
viewpoint of life and its responsiblli-1
ties. Theosophist, we are told, are
able to rise above the great world
struggle as a variety of medicine for
present human Ills.
J. Al. J Blcknell contributes a paper
to the World, a theosophical magazine,
in which he says:
•The higher powers thut control the
universe look down on the horrors of
war with composure, and apparently
without regret. U is only the chil
dren taking their medicine. It is for
their good. The sun shines down on
the battlefield as brightly and with as
little concern u» it shines down on a
field of corn. The solid earth Itself is
built up from the remains of animal
and human life—all fallen In the snug
gle for life. When we look at war
alone it seems shocking, but if we
consider the great world-tragedy, war
becomes a petty, passing event.”
It is the theosophical view that the
deprivations and the punishments of
war may induce the people of earth
to extend their vision beyond the
physical facts of their existence mere
eating, drinking, dress and physical
pleasures.
No doubt, in this myriad of swinging
worlds, what the people of earth may
do is of trifling concern, and of im
portance only to the people them
selvea But war is a bitter reminder
of our negligences and false concep
tions of life and of our place in the
scheme of things, and ultimately it
may be worth something of its cost in
the chastened spirit of the survivors.
VARIETIES IN NEIGHBORS- 1
(.Minneapolis Journal.)
Neighbors are a fine Instlution and.
if there are enough of them, they makf
up a big city that draws to itself, like
a magnet, wealth, power and life. But
the arrival of the clean-up days in
various cities emphasizes the fact that
there is an enormous difference in
neighbors.
Home neigh), rs have an interest in
the appearance of their streets, their
premises and their city; others seem
to be not at all concerned. Some have
no compunction about throwing brok
en glass In the street, or leaving It
there If some one else has so thrown
It
Some neighbors, in their building
conform to street lines or practices:
others arc just as well pleased to build
out in front of a regular street line.
They build according to whim, and In
fine disregard of the unwritten rights
of others.
Some neighbors freely walk across
the lawns of their friends, instead of
using the sidewalks, and wear paths
where none should be. They are ears
le,ss of weeds and refuses on the backs
of ther lots, and they have no feeling
against throwing refuse back of their
garages or barns in clenr view of the
next street. Down town they sweep
their store or sidewalk dust In the
faces of passers-by at 8 O’clock In the
morning, when the sidewalks are most
in use.
Good neighbors, a whole city full of
them, mean much to the value of
property and to the success of busl
nes. To put it on the lowest ground,
good citizens are a money asset to
the city. The other kind are a lia
bility.

ALASKA NOTES
Martin Harrais, of Fairbanks. is
working on a big low-grade dike of
granite with numerous stringers run
ning through It. The dike is very wide
and the values on the surface indicate
that the rock will pay handsomely
when worked on a large scale, similar
to the Treadwell.
A deposit of molybdenite ore has
been discovered at Lake Bennett,
which Is only six miles from the rail
road and the locators will bogln ship
ping ore at an early date as the price
of the refined product has Increased
enormously owing to it being used In
the manufacture of shells.
A new rocord for rainfall was es
tablished In Fairbanks during the sec
ond week in September when It rained
steadily for fifty hours wthout ceas
ing. Fairbanks can be depended upon
to establish a different kind of record
next month when the mercury tries
to knock the bottom out of the glass.
Frank Bach, deputy United States
marshal at Dougles, from whom a
prisoner escaped while the deputy was
taking him to McNeil Island, was sus
pended from duty for ono month. Thf
prisoner escaped while the stoamer
was tied up to the dock at Seattle
and had been sentenced to seven years
for shooting a woman of the under
world.
G. Ellis Gardner, who was assistant
district attorney at Fairbanks has re
signed from the position and will not
return to Alaska. United States Dis
trict Attornoy Roth has sont the name
of Reed Hoillg, to Washington for
confirmation as he has boon connected
with the office and Is familiar with the
work.
Harry Kushnick, of Ketchikan, was
recently sentenced to serve four years
in McNeil Island penitentiary for sta
tutory offense, having been convicted
before Judge Jennings. A brother!
George Kushnick, was taken to the
penitentiary ut the same time, havlnR
been convicted of attempting the life j
of a man named Stnmpolla.

The Dawson News roports that a;
stampede Is on along the Yukon river
to a stream twenty miles or more In
land from Sclywn, which Is said to
be reeking with gold. Tho extent of
the discovery has not been ascertain
ed, but it is believed that pay has been
found in an old channel, os tho creek
bed in the valley was prospected years
ago without anything of a startling
nature having been uncovered.
Skagway—Mrs. J. A. Sutherland, wife
of Dr. Sutherland of Fairbanks, loft
here on tho Alameda with her hus
band, who boarded It at Cordova, cn
route to England to enlist. Dr. Suth
erland came out via auto stago from
Fairbanks. They will go east, thane*
to Europe and to tho front. The doc
tor will enlist with the allied medical
corps, and Mrs. Sutherland Is going
with him as a nurse.
Dr. Anna Brown, who has been
working continuously on a cure f»r
nulmonary diseases, has come to the
conclusion that sho has now discov
ered a curse for consumption. She
9ay» sho will take any chronic case
of pulmonary hormoptyrln and will
show good results without charge to
demonstrate her euro.
She has named her discovery "Cln
orea.” This is used hypodermically
every 24 hours, also with tho treat
ment of phislothoropy. Dr. Brown has

W. R. Hell of Montana, who has
taken up a farm near Seldovta, this
territory, is here en route to the out-1
side and when he returns to south
western Alaska, wll take In with Mm
fifty milk cows, several mares and a
stallion, as well as all the Implements
necessary to conduct an up-to-date j
farm on an extensive scale.—Juneau ’
Dispatch.
W. W. Oetchell, who has token an
option on mining property in Moose
Pass, has come to the conclusion that
the section hasn brilliant future. Mr.
Oetchell is an expert mining man and
his opinion Is that Moose Pass has
never received the attention It de
serves. The amount of work done
has been altogether too small, he says<
to show the district's value. It may
be mentioned again that Mr. Oetchell,
who Is a member of the legislature
from Nome, was the author of the -
new mining law —Seward Gateway. ,
<
Ous SciiTert, the Resurrection creek \
mining operator, who returned on the J
Alliance expresses the greatest satis- «
I
faction with the season's work. Th< ■
only drawback was the early freeze- !
up whitfi prevented him from work- '
Ing as long as he wanted to. Three |
men were left on the ground to per- ■
form dead work throughout the win- ,
ter and operations will be started again '
jURt as early as possible In spring. J
He was accompanied as far as Sew- <
ard by Mrs. tJeifTert who will remain ,
here this winter If she can find a house, j
Mr. Selffert Will go outside—Seward .

Fairbanks Times: Word was re
eeived yesterday by the Alaska en
gineering commission that the depart
meat had instructed W. H, Thome, in
charge of the land survey in the Nen
ana district, to lay out the townslte
at the mouth of the Nenana river. As
It Is now fall, the surveyors will not
be able to complete the work this year,
and probably will be compelled to
finish it up next summer, according to
Mr KlerullT. one of Mr Thome’s as
sistant who is in town at the present
time He expects to return to Nenana
in the near futuro to assist in the work.
The outer boundaries of the town will
be laid out this year, while the streets J
and blocks will be staked out next j
spring, before the surveyors go back ■
to the coal fields to complete their |
work there ,
