It is eeitaitily nil of this and more too If you tiavel up or down the beach you have your choice of two trail, one along the edge of thu water in sand ibout shoe-mouth deep, the other from 100 to 200 feet along the Tundra When on mo on one you wUhjoti weioou the othci , wlicti you get on theothoi 3011 wish you weie back, but when 3011 go out in thu C0111U13 nivn from the beach 1111311 bote, you must walkover thu Tiindut. It is the one thing that is oniiiipioceiit; whelhi 1 in the valli'3 or mountain side it is nil coveted with "Tho Tundia." Theiols but one thing that I can call to iiiiiut that can bos.ud in its favor, it is pitied apiodtict of Alaska.

For a team to haul an empty wagon across now while it is wet would be impossible Noinu is built on thu Tundra. Onto Fust stteet they Imvo hauled sand and gravel from the beach and mixed with the Tundia so that for a mile or 111010 it is possible for a team to dtive along but it is impossible for a team to gut along on any other stieet and a few days ago I saw a big, stout, sober man absolutely swamped in Iho middle of the stieet nnd ho would no doubt have pcnshed had not assistance been given him.

Kvcit now doctors know of no remedy for this fearful malady 5 while admitting it to be a blood disease, they still insist that there is no hope outside of a surgical operation, and advise you to hnve the Cancer cut out, but nt the sune time cannot assure ou that it will not return. You may cut or draw out the sore, but another will come in its place, for the disease is in the blood is deep-seated and destructive, and beyond the reach of the surgeon's knife or caustic, llesh-ftestroying plasters. The blood must be purified and strengthened, the system relieved of all poisonous, effete matte before the Cancer sore will heal. , S. S.

This young woman, like many others, want ed to see how near she could get to the swell without tho water coming over bur boois and agninst tho advice of her fellow she followed tho tecediiig waves until the water coveted her Icet.
