WEBFOOTERS BECOME OVER
SEM SAT1VE
While the people of Seattle are busy
dealing in tide lands and laying the
foundation for a mayoralty campaign
the strenuous citizens of Portland are
working over time ifl an effort to bury
the nickname, "Webfoot State," by
which Oregon has been known since
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary. That is a task differing only
from the effort of old Canute to stay
the tide in that the Portlanders are
making matters worse by putting new
rigor in the name which they abhor.
A nickname is as hard to discard as a
laundry mark, and it thrives on public
ity no matter how attained.
After all, what would be the profit to
Oregonians where they known to every
body to be webfeetless Instead of
'?W ebfooters," Other people have had
worse names applied to them. Mis
sourians are called "Pukea," yet that
state has never stopped prowing long
enough to pay any attention to it.
Those of Illinois are called "Suckers,"'
but he is a sucker who takes them for
such. Washingtonians are known as
"Ciam Diggers," but they do not de
vote all their time to unearthing the
succulent bivalves which abound on the
shores of their evergreen state.
Really, there is nothing in the name
'?Webfoot" that will serve as a handi
cap to the most industrious ice chop
per. The Webfooters are becoming
over sensative.
The statement of the premier of A us
tralia that an imperial preferential
tariff arrangement will be consum
mated by Great Britain and her great
colonies within a short time is signifi
cant, and its significance should be
heeded at Washington. If there shall
not be a modification of the Amer
ican tariff it is as certain to come about
as time is to pass on.
The collapse of the United States ca
ble increases the difficulties of ge'.ting
information fr. m Washington where a
congress that is busy with Alaskan mat
ters is in sesson. The Canadian asso
ciated press pays little attention to
Wash ire; ton affairs, less than Canadian
editors would have it, but they profess
to be powerless in the matter.
The loss of the Valencia and two sail
ing- vessels within a few weeks, each of
which was accompanied by terrible loss
of life, emphasizes the need for life sar
in;; stations on the dangerous, reef
bound west coast of Vancouver island.

Prospectors Fiotl Miners'
Paradise in Tanana
Fairbanks, Jan. 12? P. R. McGu'.re
has returned from a trip and tells about
what he terms a prospector's paradise,
where the miners use coal to thaw the
ground and for heating and cooking
purposes, and it is but eight feet on an
average to bedrock. From 2 to 8 cents
a pan are taken from gravel almost any
place, he says, and a large number of
miners have stampeded into the coun
try.
It is along the upper Tolanlka river,
which empties into the T&nana just
north of Neanan, and heads in the Alas
kan lange.
It Is between Fairbanks and the new
Kantishna diggings, about 110 miles
from here.
The river cuts through mountain
ranges, leaving vast ledges of anthra
cite coal exposed, which burns freely
without clinkers.

WEAK KIDNEYS
MAKE WEAK BODIES
Kidney Dluaui Casit Half the
Common Aches and Ills of Alaska
People
As one weak link weakens a chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body
and hasten the final breaiting-down.
Overwork, strains, cold and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
the activity is lessened the whole body
suffers from the excess of uric poison
c.rculated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there Is an ever
incr3asing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There is no
real help for the sufferer except kidney
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney ill.
Mrs. O. D. Rue. of 2710 1st Ave.,
Seattle wash., says: "if Doan's Kidney
Pills had not greatly benefited me I
would not consent to publicly recom
meud them. I feel it my duty to tell
others of this wonderful# remedy be
cause for five years I have suffered from
irregularities of the kilneys which
were particularly annoying when I
caught cold. My back pained me severe
ly acd my suffering was increased if I
aid any work about the house or strain
ed in any manner. I used plasters and
consulted physicians but the benefit I
obtained was not permanent. I read
about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured
a box. The first box did me so much
good I procured a second, and it only
required three boxes to remove the
trouble. I have recommended this re
medy to friends w'\o report the most
benefioial results from its use."
