A DIFFERENT OX 60RED
Tbe local passenger was delaved al
most an hoar yestorday in getting out
of here on account of having to take
aboard a lot of perishable goods. Thus
when the pocket of the corporation is
hit ? when it would have been forced to
pay for the freight it was hauling had
the same been destroyed? it can very
easily arrange to delay its service, how
ever, when it comes to a question of
holding the train for twenty seconds In
order that mail for the people of
Whitehorse, who were forced to suffer
a forty-eight hoursdelay for it, It seems
impossible for the train to be held
The Alaskan agrees with ihe White
horse people that they have a "Roast"
due.
SANE USE OF THE SEA
The Cunard Liners will next season
carry on board an up-tc-tlite vaudeville
show to furniih amusement for the pas
sengers while making the voyage
across . ?Exchange.
Instead ot installing theaters on
ocean steamships to make life on ship
board more artificial and more like ex
lstence on shore, why do not steamship
owuers and managers try reform in the
opposite direction? Why don't they
cut the inevitaoie concert and its at
tendant "ho'dup ?
Tbis is a nuisance that <lates from the
trireme, yet tradition is a thin excuse
for any l?re. The steamship line that
will defy custom and the craft of stew
ards will be far more appreciated thin
the one that puts in a playhouse. It
would be courageous, perhaps revolu
tionary, out no one would doubt it bad
the interest of the traveler very close
at heart. By going one s ep farther
and eliminating the appalling gauntlet
of tip-demanding servitors the com
pany would make the traveler its debt
or for life.
Ocean travel has its pleasures and
compensations only so far as it wiil
lake us f.-om the worries, the common
places and the routine of things ashore.
Romance is not romance to most of us
uuless it bears with it new >cenes, new
sensations. So much time spent in
doors aboard ship is so much time out
of the good salt air, away from the
magic of the sea and the mystery of the
"infinite he?vens." The charm of
phosphorescent waves, the caress of
fresbne>s of the fog, the strange, in
comprehensible sounds or night, the
throb of the engines that touch the im
agination, and the delight of two steam
er chairs, very close together in a dark
corner of the dick, all these are lost to
the tourist who stays in the cabins,
with cards and possible plays- He,
poor soul, finds content in the echo of
life rather than in life itself.
Such tourists waste the sea.
CORPORATIONS FOR HOGGATT
Treadwell last evening elected her
delegates to the Republican territorial
convention to be held in Jmeau No
vember 14th. Tony Tubb-, James
Daniels and J. N. Study are the dele
gates and they are all for Hoggatt and
Roosevelt all the time.? Juneau Rec
ord.
Naturally, the Treadwell Mine is for
Hoggatt. The Alaskan would like to
know of ODe foreign corporation doing
business in Alaska that is not in favor
of continuing Hoggaft in power.
Through a blunder of bis attorney.
ex-Mayor Schmitz, of San Francisco,
has lost his last chance to postpone by
appeal his imprisonment, and he will
now begin serving his term In the pen
itentiary. This is hard lines for the
man whom Samuel Gompers described
as "the noblest American since Abra
ham Lincoln," but the efTect on San
Francisco standard of morality will he
lasting, and it may cause Mr. Gompers
to be les.i careless with bis figure of
speech.? Portland Oregonian.
It may *lso have the effect of causing
Mayor Schinitz to be more careful with
figures when depositing graft money to
discredit In San Francisco banks.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS 00
Their 'lUooftming Work K.opi Us
Strong and Healthy
All the blood iu the body parses
through the kidneys once ev?;ry three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
Tbay work day and night. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily, wheu unhealthy
some of this impure matter is left in
ibe blood. This brings on many diseas
es and symptoms? pain in the back,
beadac e, nervousness, rheumatism,
i'out, gravel, disorders of the sight and
hearii <r, dizziness, irregular heart, de
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in
the urine, etc. But if you keep the fil
ters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
Henry White, of Dundee Addition,
Port Townsend, Wash., sajs: "Doan's
Kidney Pills did me a great deal of
good three years ago, when 1 was suff
ering from pains and aching in the
back and sides. It felt just as if 1 had
boen beaten or bruised. Sharp t winger
of pain would shoot through the Icic
neys, and the secretions were unnatural
and caused a good deal of embarrass
ment. My son procured Doan's Kidnev
Pills for me and I took theui accord. op
to directions. They promptly relieved
the soreness and pain, corrccted the
kidney secretions, and helped mu in
every way."
