MOT DEAD
Got. Swineford's Ketchikan Miner,
referring to Got. Hoggatt's declaration
that territorial government for Alaska
Is a dead issue, say*:
"The declaration of one man that the
popular home governa.ent Idea is dead
in Alaska does not make It so; nor jet
docs it follow that such a declaration,
no matter how eminent the scouroe,
will necessarily prevent the question
from bei-g taken up and considered
by the ooogrew, among whose mem
bers Alaska has many warm friends
who recognize in the treatment thus
far accorded her an unjustifiable, if not
wholly wicked, departure from tbe
American principle of free local self
government. Those friends In congress
are growing in numbers, and we hare
but needs to keep tbe question to the
for? to sooner or later be accorded the
reooKoition to which our people are so
justly entitled.
No, the issue is not dead; It is the
only real live issue in Alaska today,
and it will be continued to be agitated
until the people, Irrespective of party
predilection, hive another opportunity
to make themselves heard in no uncet
taln tone? as Indeed, they have hereto
fore spoaen through half a dozen or
more representative partisan and non
partisan eo.'entions.
"And the voice of Alaska, whatever
may be the outcome, will be heard at
the next session c f congress demanding
a recognition of political rights never
heretofore, except in her case, with
he.d from any fragment of American
territory, or fraction of American peo
ple. "
Word comes conies from Juneau that
there is to be no Summer term of com
at Skagway notwithstanding that
there is a 1 >w congress which maees
it obligatory -pon tbe officials to hold
two terms of cour s a year here, and
noiwitiis'auaiog the further fact tbat
there is quite a number of Skagway
cases i ending? including some very
important ones ? both criminal and
civil.
If Gov. Hogiratt read* the Alaskan
papers be know* by this time tbat the
territorial government issue cannot be
killed at Washington even by an absent
governor and an industrious press
agext.
1'bat Mizner outfit is getting all the
advertising out of tbat divorce tbat ibe
circumstances permit.
Every country is very badly govern
ed tbat does not govern itself.
- Geo. Greely says Alaskans badly
governed. Amen.

STROLLER WHITE
BECOMES FAMOUS
Tbs following from tbe Philadelphia
Ledger, which wti reproduced In Puok
of March 27th, indicates how widely
has ipread the fame of Whltehorse's
only "Stroller:"
IN THE YUKON.
White horse, Y. T., Jan. 25? Laat
Sunday at Yukon Crossing the tempe
rature went to 82 below zero. * ? ?
Nearly an inch of blue snow fell at
Tantalus. * * * At Mlnto ice
worms began to chirp at midnight Sat
urday, and many of them attained a
growth of several inches by Monday,
when the thermometer rose to 45 below,
causing tnem to die of heat. If the
temperature rises many more degrees,
tbe suffering caused by the intense neat
will be terrible.? Wews Item.
Oh, liar, we address you
In humble awe,
And pray that heaven bless you
With tardy thaw.
Blue soow we all admire,
But seldom see; *
For news of it, great liar.
We look to thee.
The ice worms here are dumb,
No chirp have they,
Yet in our ioe are some
Bad germs, they say.
To Yukon, land august,
Where zeros burn,
The local liar must
With envy turn.

OVERTAXED
Hundred* of Almka Rndm Know
W hin It MattUl
The kidneys are overtaxed;
Have loo much to do.
They tell about it in many aches and
pains ?
Backache, sideache, headache,
Early symptons of kidney ills.
Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright's
disease follow.
W. R. Mcintosh, of 593 Harrison Ave.
Astoria, Oreg., says: "For years, off
and on, I suffered a pood 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, so painful
was the passage of the kidney secret
ions. Doan's Kidney Pills came to my
notice and 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 kidney secretions, and the lapse of
time since I gave my first statement re
yarding my satisfactory experience with
your remedy, has shown that the bene
fit derived is still of a lasting nature.''
