NEW RIVER OPENS HEART OF ALASKA TO WATER CRAFTS

WASHINGTON, April 2. With the government committed to the construction of a 135,000,000 railroad in Alaska a land whose wonderfud resources are just beginning to be appreciated by the nation which acquired it there is unusual interest in the announcement from the department of commerce of the discovery nea into the mouth of Kuskowim river, which opens to commerce the second greatest stream in Alaska. Secretary Redfield makes the official announcement that a practical navigable channel from the Bering sea into the mouth of Kuskowwim river has been discovered by Captain Lukens of the coast and geodetric survey. More than fourteen thousand soundings were taken in the chartering of this stream and the oficial bulletin issued by the department of commerce is a human interest story of the work accomplished and what it seems to the commerce of the extreme northwest of the United States. "The Kuskokwlra is the second greatest river in Alaska," says the announcement of the department of commerce. "It is nine miles wide at Its mouth and navigable for 600 miles inland. The great submerged flats of the delta of this river extend 100 miles out to sea, and it was through this unchartered delta that the surveying steamer Yukon made the discovery of the channel which means so much' to the commerce of that section of Alaska. "The Kuskokwin is one of the three great Alaskan rivers emptying into the Bering sea which has been opened to commerce as a result of the charting separations of the coast and geodttrie survey. The mouth of the Yukon was surveyed in 189S and that river soon became one of the greatest commercial arteries of Alaska.

WEALTHY SISTERS REFUSE TO SPEAK OVER TELEPHONES

Possessors of Millions Never Rode in Auto, Wore Jewelry or Attended Theatre in Lives.

NEW YORK, April 2. New York is never tired of discussing the mystery of the Wendels. No one has ever suggested an even probable explanation of the strangest family in America. The ' four Wendel sisters have $60,000,000. Three unmarried sisters live on Fifth avenue in an antique $5,000 bouse on a lot assessed at $1,897,00. The fourth (married) lives on Central Park West. ' The four sisters , have been enormously wealthy from birth. They have never ridden in an auto. They have never been on a yacht. They have never attended a theatre. They have not been in a church for twenty years. They never wear any article of jewelry. They have never used a telephone. , They have never used an elevator. They never give a social entertainment or receive callers. So far as known, they have never given money to charity. Like little grey mice in an abandoned church, the three Wendel sisters flit about their strikingly ugly big house just opposite the Union League club. A great department store has reared itself across the street on one side. A tall office building overlooks another side. The magnificent new New York public library is one block away. Their home lies midway between the imposing Grand Central and Pennsylvania terminals. The subway half circles them, being one block away on the east. They dwell in what

has become the heart of the fashion

able shopping section. Before their door streams the most magnificent

procession of private vehicles to be

seen anywhere in the Western Hemis

phere, if not in the world. What is behind these doors?

STRAWBERRIES GALL FORTH BIG DEMAND

There has been little change in the prices or variety of offerings which local produce dealers have on display for tomorrow's market. The majoirty of the material is still from the southern growers, but. the quality is better than a month ago and there is a demand for the green vegetables that is steadily growing. There has been an unusual demand for strawberries on the local market this year, due probably to the fact that the quality is far better than is usual at this season. The Florida fruit has been very fine and of unusual size and flavor. The price of 40 cents a quart has been prohibitive for the majority of housewives, but several large crates are used in Richmond each week. The offerings this week include green beans- and peas, asparagus, rhubarb, radishes, onions, beets, lettuce, cauliflower, new cabbage and potatoes, Brussels sprouts, carrots and endive.

How French People Cure Stomach Trouble A household remedy of the French peasantry, consisting of pure vegetable oil; and said to possess wonderful merit in the treatment of stomach, liver and intestinal troubles, has been introduced in this country by George H. Mayr, who for twenty years has been one of the leading down-town druggists of Chicago and who himself was cured by its use. So quick and effective is its action that a single dose is usually enough to bring pronounced relief in the most stubborn cases, and many people who have tried it declare they never heard of anything to produce such remarkable results in so short a time. It is known as Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and can now be had at all leading drug stores. It ' is sold with a ' positive understanding that your money will be refunded without question or quibble of ONE bottle fails to give vou absolute satisfaction. Adv.
