ALAaKA ROAD COMMISSION
WORK
The bare statement of the work that
baa been done and is being done by [the
Alaskan road f commission, ;which ap
peared in the Daily Alaskan asjasimple
news item* the other day, is a complete
and unanswerable refutation of the at
tack that was made upon it by a con
vention that has been all but forgotten,
notwithstanding the fact that it was of
recent occurence. The idea of making
hundreds on hundreds of miles of roads,
bridges and trails through the wilder
ness within three or four months
after an appropriation for that purpose
became available, by a federal govern
ment that has earned a reputation for
slowne* and deliberation, is rather as
tounding. It is certainly unusual. It
marks the Alaskan road commission
ers as mea of energy and singleness of
purpose, as well as men of the very
highest grade of competency.
But the commission has done more
than . that. It has surveyed a mail
route connecting Fairbanks and Nome,
Alaska's two most important towns,
and lessening the distance between
them by 250 miles. This survey has
been made of a character so thorough
that it will serve as a preliminary sur
vey for a railroad or wagon road, and
will add much to the knowledge neces
sary to those who would plan the devel
opment of a comprehensive system of
railroads for this district.
That the commission has done its
work well and to the satisfaction of the
people is borne out by the manner in
which the press of the interior
came to its defence when it was attack
ed by the Juneau politicians. Every
where there has been praise of the
commission and denunciation of the
Juneauites.

Hnadrtdi of Alxk* Rwdin Know
What It H?ui
The kidneys are overtaxed:
Have too much to do.
Th?y tell about it <n many aches snd
pains?
Backache, sideache, headache,
Early symptoms of kidney ill.
Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright's
disease fallow.
W. A. Mcintosh, of 593 Harrison
Ave., Astoria, Ore., says: "For years,
off and on, I suffered a good deal from
a deranged condition of the kidneys and
lameness and aching across the small of
my back, which annoyed me very much
at my work and made it painful to stoop
over or lift anything, I often thought I
was troubled with gravel, sq painful
was the passage of the kidney secretions.
Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice
?nd I procured them at a drug store.
They helped me from the first and soon
relieved the pain and lameness in my
back, corrected and regulated the kid
ney secretions, and the lapse of time
since I gave my first statement regard
ing my satisfactory txpenence with
your remedy, has shown that the bene
fit derived is still of a lasting nature. "

Seattle, Sept. 26? A joint meeting of
the commercial bodies of this city
yesterday endorsed the proposed Alaska
Yukon-Pacitic Exposition.
J. L. McCABE WAS
PR0BAB1 Y DROWNED
It is now believed that, J. L. McCabe,
a'well known citizen of this city, who
has been interested much of the time
in mining, was drowned last summer in
Tagish or Toochi lake. He left the
camp of Peter Goedell, on Windy Arm,
some time last. June. Since then nothing
has been heard of hitu. It was not be
lieved that he was going far when he
left, but after he failed to return it was
thought he had gone to Skagway or the
Engineer group on Taku Arm. Subse
quent investigations have convinced
his friends that neither conclusion was
correct. He has never appeared in any
of his old haunts in this citv and nothing
was ever seen of him at the Engineer
group, where he spent some time early
in the season. It is believed that he
was drowned while trying to make this
city, either in Tagish lalse or Toochi j
lake.
PEABODY AFTER
MORE STEAMERS
Charles E. Peabody, president of the
Alaska Steamship Company, has gone
east for the purpose of purchasing two

will be used on some of the Puget Sound

The best dining room in the city is at
the Fifth Avenue hotel. The best meals
and best service obtainable in the north
are its leading points of superiority.
The best meal.- and best service at
gkagway can be secured at the Fifth
