that mail question again
Now will the people be reminded
again of the disadvantage they are
lab ring under because the steamship
Humboldt is not a mall carrier. She
sailed from Seattle Thursday evening,
two davs after the sailing of the last
mail boat.and will arrive here Monday,
but we will have no more mail until
the arrival of the Dolphin next Thurs
day. The people of Alaska have aright
to demand that the Humboldt carry
mall. Whether she shall be paid for
the service by the government or by
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
is not of any particular concern to our
people, and is a matter that can be
settled among those directly! concerned
at their leisure, if only the service is
begun at once. It is time for Alaskan
commercial bodies to get busy.
NOT THE POINT
Oregon points with more or less
pride to the fact thai its legislature
elected two United States sena'ors in 20
minutes this year. The rest of the
country will reserve comment until
it sees how they turn out.? Cleveland,
(O.) Leadar.
No: that's not the point. If taese
senators should not make good and if
Oregon's primary laws shall not
have been rej>eaUd by the end of their
terms a future legislature will point
with greater pride to the fact that
their successors were chosen In equally
a* short a space of time as was consum
ed in their election.

The acquittal of Binger Hermann for
complicity in the Oregon land frauds, at
Washington, O. C., by a jury, while his
colleague in the house and one of his
state's senators were convicted in Ore
gon for a similar offense. has caused
some of those Kaslern papers which
have talked so much about the laxity
of Western juries to wonder how it
happened. It depends somewhat od
ttie crime cnarged. vt es-.erners can
be depeu^eu on to do things to frauds,
wnile mey win construe liberally the
motives of ine man who takes the law
into his own hands where pioyo
cation seems to be very great.
Lite disp tcnes say the British gov
ernment has about concluded arrange
ments for the construction of another
buez cana* that will be wholly British.
It is said that commercial as well as
political coalitions require the build
ing of a new canal.
Skagway has always been the first of
the Alaskan towns to get to work when
anything of a public nature requires
action. What is the matter with get
iog tusy with that Humboldt mall
matter ?
Secretary Taft has expressed himseff
as in favor of turning Cuba over to the
Cuban people in about 16 months. He
says the American troops can be re
moved in safety by that time.

MILS TIME
Gov. Hoggait Urges Fair
Directors To Act
H. B. Dunn, Skag way's director of
the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific exposition,
bag receive.l a letter fromGov. Hoggatt
notifying him that Alaska's exhibit
must b? raised by the Alaskan people
without aid from the federal govern
ment, and urging the people to begin
preparing to make a creditable show
ing.
The letter is dated April 29th and 19
as follows:
"Congress having failed at its last
session to appropriate money for an
Alaskan exhibit at the Alaska Yukon -*
Pacific Exposition to be held in Seattle
io 1909, the success of our exhibit will
largely depend upon ourselves. 1 have
therefore to request that you use your
utmost endeavors to get the people of
your section to take an interest in the
collection of articles of Interest, show
ing the industry and resources of your
district, during the coming summer
and winter.
"It is only by such means and sucb
efforts that Alaska will be able to make
a creditable exhibit'. I bave no doubt
that Congress at its next session will
make some provision for the care and
transportation and exhibit of such
things as the Alaskan Directors of the
Exposition may be able to secure, and
I hope, therefore, that you will be able
to create an interest in tbis matter, and
bave your district exhibit as nearly
ready as possible oue year from now."

Backache is only a simple thing at
first;
But when you know 'tis from the
kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabete*, Bright's disease may
be the fatal end.
You will -ladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
William Bumgardner, retired, of 425
Wa'er St., Salem. Ore., says: "I speak
from personal experience when I say
that Doan's Kidney Pills do all that Is
claimed for them in curing kidney com
plaint and backache. I bad felt the
need of such a remedy for a good long
while but did cot know just wbat I
should use. ( have found that many
medicines are worthless and that even
physicians' prescriptions do not always
prove effective. When I read of Doan's
Kidney Pills, however, I was induced
to procure a supply. The backache and
irregular condition of the kidneys which
had annoyed me, quickly gave way on
beginning to use your remedy and 1 was
restored to a condition of ease and com
fort. I can recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to anyone in need of such a
medicine."
