The telegraphic editor in the Juneau
Record-Miner very seriously discusses
a (all of "blue snow" at Yukon Cross
ing. He says "blue sno?" falls only
in the very coldest weather. What
would happen if someone wooldftell
that editor about the "ice worms,'- the
painkiller, the tish that wear overcoats
and the "winter of ,04 ? "
Oregon believes in advertising. Its
legislature has appropriated $100,000
for the Oregon exhibit at the Seattle
fair. That was more liberal than the
Washington legislature was for the
Portland fair.
GOOD TIME AT
BASKFT SOCIAL
The basket social at the Methodist
church yesterday evening broughtout a
good crowd. The committee had
arranged an interesting program|which
provided much amusement forj the
guests. The sale of :he baskets and
the uncertainty as to who would be
partners for the evening until after
their distribution made up the most
interesting phase of the evening. The
room was decorated with symbols
emblematic of St Valentine's day.

ABOUT BOOKS!
Points of Interest iu Skag
way School Library
Perhaps the most valuaole of the ]
books secured (or the Skagway Public
School library this year is Lippincott's
New Gazetteer. This gives the popu
lation, location, and a brief description
of every postoftice in the United States, |
and of all towns and countries of im
portance in the world. One of its best
features is that the material in it is
up-to-date- -1904 or 1905. Following is
what is aid of Skagway:
"Skagway, a banking post-village of
Alaska, on Chilkoot Inlet, Lynn Canal,
and at the mouth of the Skagway river.
"It was founded in the early part of
1898, during the Klondike gold excite
ment, and i? the southern terminus of
the White Pass & Yukou railroad. It
has direct steamship communication
with Seattle, San Francisco, and other
Pacific ports, and telegraph line to
Dawson. It is the seat of an army post,
has a government building, etc. and is
a distributing and outfitting point for
the interior gold fields. Population in
1900, :U17."
Several of the books contain chapters
of interest to Alaskans. Perhap* the
most interesting is Davidson's Glaciers
of North America. About sixty pages
are devoted to the glaciers of Alaska.
The author describes a trip along I.ynn
Canal, and explains somewhat in detail
why glaciers are lacking inthe interior,
while so abundant along the coast.
Ries's Economic Geology of the I'nited
States devotes considerable space to the
mineral resources of Alaska, and is not
so technical as to be unintelligible.
The National Geographic Magazine,
which is one of the leading geopraph
ical magazines of the country, ient two
back numbers containing article! on
Alaska ? one entitled -'A Trip on the
Yukon Trail," and the other "The
Wrangell Mountains." ISoth are pro- |
fusely illustratad. Another contains a
lengthy account of the Alaskan boun
dary dispute, and gives copies of the J
original maps on which both the I'nited :
States and Great Britain i>ss? their :
claims, from the rough sketches made ;
by Behring ant. Cook to the detailed i
modern maps,
One piece of apparatus was purchased j
?the Goode Sun E?oard, With this in
strument seven experiments may be
performed:
1. To fix the observer's horizon.
2. To determine the sun s altitude
in degrees.
3. To show the sun's azimuth (to
one-fourth of a degree).
4. To establish the observer's true
"north and south" line.
5. To establish the difference be
tween sun time and standard time.
6. To establish the latitude (at the
equinox).
7. To show the area covered by a
sunbeam of given size.
Abou: ninety pamphlets, made up
from articles taKen from magazines,
have also been prepared. Also about
two hundred pictures useful for refer
ence work, have been cut from maga
zines and secured from other sources,
and mocnted on cardboard.

ONE WEAK SPOT
Most Alaffca People Have a Weak i
Part And Too Often It'# The Bach I
Everyone has a weak spot.
Too often it's a bad back.
Twinges follow every sudden twist.
Dull aching keeps up. day and night.
Tells you the kidneys need help
For backache is really kidney-ache.
A kidney cure is what you need.
Doan's KidneyPills care sick kidneys.
Cure backache and all urinary ills.
Mrs. J. W. Painter, of .!10 East 7th
St., Portland, Oregon, says: "I have not
lost any of ray laith in Doaij's Kidney
Pills since I publicly recommended the
remedy in February 190.'i. As 1 stated
at ihat time, a severe spell of sickness
early in my life left me with weak kid
neys and as t! me went on, I suffered
more and more with spells of backache
The pain through the kidneys was
torture and often I could not find a
comfortable position to lio in. W>en
able to be up and around, I was troubled
with headaches and dizziness and could
not stoop or lift anything. I doctored
and used various treatments, but nothing
seemed to help ms any until I began
using Doan's Kidney Pills. The use of
this remedy was very satisfactory. It
gave me so much relief that I (annot
hesitate to recommend it and will put
in a good word for Doan's Kidney Pills
whenever I find an opportunity."
