NO NEED FOR HURRY
The city council is doing well not to
hasten with that proposition to pur
chase the water-works and lighting
plant of the Northwest Light & Power
Company. Every phase of it should be
Investigated and compared with
every other proposition that is avail
able.
Then the council abould take the
people into their confidence. Every
detail, all the figures, plans, etc., as
well as those of all oppor
tunities should be fully explained. This
Is a matter that concerns everybody.
If the city invests the <25,000 and the
other sum that will be required to re
pair the old water system we will have
a property that will be with us and
under the care and cust!>dy of the
people f>r many years, and for a long
time there will be a mortgage on all
the assessable proDerty of the town of
Skagwav. These things concern the
whole peoDle and they should be made
familiar with the whole matter.
This suggestion is not made in criti
cism, for the council is showing no dis
position to rush matters through under
cover or anything of the sort. {The
Daily Alaskan is assured that there
will |be nothing dene in a hurry. For
thrt people it speaks for an assurance
tha: nothing will be done until all the
people are given an rpportunity to
kno# all the facts.
It is said that Gov Deneen has been
unable to insure President Roosevelt
the delegation of the s ate of Illinois
in the National convention ftr
Taft and that the pres'dent has declined
to participate in behalf of Deneen s
gubernatorial candidacy.

Learned It
If you suffer from backache,
There is only one way to cure it.
The perfect way is to care the kidneys
A bad back means sick kidneys.
Neglect it, urinary troubles follow.
, Doan's Kidney Pills are made for
kidneys only.
Mrs. T. J. O'Brien, of 60 East 9th St.,
North Portland, Oregon, says: "Time
has not changed my opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills. I gave this remedy my
endorsement in 1903 and am glad to re
peat my recommendation of it. A
member of my family found great relief
through using Doan's Kidney Pills and
( since then, several of my neighbors
' have tried them with equally pood re
sults. We are always glad to tell about
the merits of the remedy."
