ALASKA'S ROAD COMMISSION
Cheering, Indeed, are the reports
which come from all sections of Abska
where the Alaska Road Commission
has been at work. Everywhere- words
of praise are expressed about the man
ner in which Major Richardson and bis
excellent corps of assistants have gone
about their work. Roads have been
built by them over sectioos which had
previoudy been thought impassable ?
In fact, it is due to the Alaska Road
Commission that Alaskans can now
claim mountain roads that comparc fa
vorably with those on the outside.
There has been no flare of trumpets.
The work has been done quietly and
efficiently, and The Alasgan is pleased
toseetnatthe work is appreciacfd bo
generally as it is.

BUBBLES
The pollttical pot in Alaska is begin
in U to boil with a vengeance. Little
bubbles and big bubbles are coming to
the surface, giving forth their little
puff of hot air rnd as rapidly disappear
ing, perhaps to rise again with a still
greater accumulation of steam.
Around the rim of the pot is the bor
der of sediment which h?s no weight
of Its own. so it does not sink, but It
never forms a bubble. This rira of bub
bleless sediment takes to Itself the
privilege of announcing the doings
of the big and little bubbles by vio
lent contortions and a continuous
tizzling.
Under the pot is a bed formed by the
ashes of disappointment, on which
rests the fires of enthusiasm, love
of country, personal ambition, jeal
ousy, and hatred, all add'ng fuel to the
flame.
But real'y, now the big ones are
?low to arise; it is only the froth that
foam-.
Some names are mentioned that had
been forgotten, and some that we had
never heard.
We are assured that Cale and Wick
ersham have formed a combination to
down Hoggatt. Perhaps they have.
Cale is yet an untried representative
and Wickersham has just got out of a
nasty fight by running.
Big political doings are on at Skag
way. At a meeting held last Saturday
nijtbt sever, delegates were elected to
attend the territorial republican con
vention at Juneau, and resolutions were
passed endorsing Tom Cale for nation
al committeeman and the Roosevelt
administration, we don't know what
for. Not for appointing Hoggatt, for it
is said that the seven wise delegates
have no oil in their lamps for the gov
ernor.
If all this amounts to anything, it is
just one thing, and that is that the re
publicans of the district of Alaska are
getting themselves in good shape for
another walloping such as Tom Cale ?
now a republican it seems? helped to
give them last year.? Douglas Island
News.
Even at that, it is infinitely better
to be beaten by the Denocrats m an open
fight with them than to be betrayed by
a Republican Governor the organiza
tion of the Republican party has placed
In office.
Press dispatches today tell of the
death of a six-year-old boy from tbe
use of certaia patent medicines. The
parents of the lad probably bought the
stuff on tbe strength of some adver
tisement iu some newspaper,? Juoeau
Record.
No, more than likely the child died
as the result of its parents patronizing
some druggist who makes enough
money off of that class of "remedies"
to handle his "drug business" without
advertising. As a general thing drugs
which have become old and dangerous
and which will not bear the light of
advertisement are what produce such
effect* as resulted in the death of Ralph
Buist.
Aa if the earthquake that nearly des
troyed Kingston, JamacU, about a year
ago waa not enough, the island is in
' * tboes again over the invasion of a
- - ? . _ ? ^ ? *
host of Chinese, Syrians and Orientals
landing there in great numbers So
greatly exercised havo become the
people t'lai the olty council of Kit g
ston have adopted resolut'ons request
ing the Brttish government to amend
the alien Immigration law so as to pre
vent the Importation of undesirable
Immigrants. If the demands are not
granted, it is a question whether the
earthquake shaking the island suffered
will not be exceeded by the shaking up
the Orientals will get.
A variety aotress in Seat.le Issuing

grounds that while performing in
Ketchikan her husband beat her, says

If the Judge knew anything about
Alaska, the fact that the man to. k her
to Ketchikan should prove grounds
enough to free her.

"Good news travels fast," anil the
thousands of bad back sufferers in Al
aska are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Many u
lame, weak and aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pill?
Our citizens are telling ihe good new
of their experience with the Old Quak
er remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
N. S. Williams, of 239 Liberty ot.,
Salem, Ore., says: A number of years a
go the doctors told me my kidndys werr
in bad shape. I came west on accoiu 1
of the trouble, tbiukinsr a change u'
climate would help me but nothing I
did gave me relief in spite of the use o
remedies and medical treatment. On
procuring Doan's Kidney Pills, I found
them ihe best medicine I ever used.
At the time I got them I was suffering
from an intense ' urning sensation as
if two live coals were placed direct
ly over my kidneys, the sacretions from
the kidneys were the color of strong
black coffee and of a bad odor. After
using two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills.
I did not have the least pain in my back
or trouble with my kidnevs. I sh
all the credit for this to your valuable
remedy."
