EASE A HEART
POORLY PLACED
i Fairbanks Times i
Writing s m friend ip Fairbanks,
alter Hall, of the Rhodes-Hell
;ne. states that Alaska was handed
•. bunk” at the San Francisco
exposition. The beautiful heart of
golden grain sen; from Fairbanks
vss placed in the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company display first
. vd later it was moved to the ex
hibit of she Bureau of Mines. In
both places, it was in such a se
cluded place that it would take a
detective to find it. The remainder
of the Alaska exhibit was equally
scattered and on the whole was a
very poor advertisement for the
North.
Ir. making the rounds of the ex
position, Mr. Hall came upon the ex
hibit in the department of mines.
He looked up the man ir, charge of!
this ami complained of the position
ad conditions under which the
quarts was exhibited. To h;s ob
jection he received the reply, "Oh.
it's all right, nobody looks a: it
anyway.” That was too much for
Mr. Hall and he quit in disgust.

■ P.^ON SALTS AND SUGAR
DISCOVERED IN LEATHER
If the leather in your shoes is the j
nr cduct of a dishonest manufactur
-r the chances are that it is fail of
Epsom salts and sugar and will go
- " to pieces a* the first exposure
to wet weather.
Experts ir. the United State?
Agricultural Department's bureau:
f chemistry have discovered that,
the adulteration of leather with:
sugar in the form of gloctts and with
Epsom salt? is 3 favorite form of
geeep’ioTs in the tanning industry-.
This is c-'ne to add weight to cheap i
grades of either and to make them
lock art feel as firm, heavy and:
durable as the higher priced qua'
Approximately 63 per cent, of the
leathers examined in a recent in
vestigation were weighted with
glucose or Epsom salts, or both.;
This loading var.es from 1 to -51
an average of 3 per cent, of
Ensor. salts, ami up to 10-4 with ar.
average of o.o per cent, of g.ucose.
- re to a total maximum load
;-.g. when both are present, of 16
per cent and ar. average of S per
«nt
Th« loading process makes the
leather hard, br.ttie an I :tab.e to
crack, and. when the soluab.e lead
ing washes out, tie leather is more
easSlv tenetrated by w-ater. In
short this weighting tr.ck tends to
uestroy those very essentia! proper
it.es of leather for which it is trust
er- Oar boots and shoes, while sup
tle and yielding, should be water
j toof. Tie menace to the health and
comfort of the wearer of loaded
leather is obvious, ant the practice
is most reprehensible.

VESSEL ENDS LONG VOYAGE
(From Seattle P.-I.)
Completing a voyage begun more
than two years a go the steamer
Curacao, which w_.s .’.recked at
Warm Chuck, Southeastern Alas
ka, at S a-m. June 21, 191". arriv
ed in Seattle Wednesday afternoon
in tow of the tug Dota. Tne ves
sol had steam up and showed Unto
of the effects of her Iona stay .;
the bottom of the bay at Warm
Chuck.
The Curacao, owned and onen.t
od by the l'aeific Coast Steamship
Company, steamed from Scat.'.,
1:45 a.m. June IT. ISIS, with pas
sengers and freight for Southeast
ern Alaska ports. She struck at
unchartered rock four days later,
and was so badly damaged that she
was abandoned as a total toss by
her owners.
After lying at Warm Chuck for
over a year the Curacao was raised
by the Vancouver Dredging Sal
vage Company on July -h. 1014.
She arrived at Ketchikan under her
own power September 14. 1914. and;
at Vancouver, 11. C. September 83.
1914. The vessel was purchased by
the Pacific Coast Steamship Com-1
pany, her former owners, and will
-e replaced in the Southeastern
Alaska freight and passenger trade
out of Seattle as soon as she is
overhauled, repaired and her pas
senger accomodations rebuilt.
By being abandoned by her own
ers. the Curacao loses her flag and
registry. Officials of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company explain
ed Wednesday that they would
make applicaion for American reg
■try for the vessel immediately,
'ttd there is a possibility that she
may be given some other name.
