ALASKA RICH IN COAL.
The statement that there is con-}
aiderable activity in the coal and oil
fields of Alaska, particularly in the
Katalla region, will cause little sur
prise. The geological survey has re
ported more than twenty-six square
miles of high-grade anthracite coal,
and twenty square mill's of semi-bi
tuminous coal, a high-grade naval
coal, in the Katalla region. .More
over, the geological survey has declar
ed the area may exteud over 0-0
square miles.
Only a few days ago. during the
discussion of the coal schedule in the
Senate tariff bill. Senator Wesley L.
Jones submitted to the Senate a num
ber of documents and reports showin
the surveyed and probable coal areas
In Alaska. With those documents
_
Senator Jones submitted a letter from
Delegate James Wickersham, of Al
aska, in which the delegate asserted
that "nature made Alaska the coal
reserve of the Pacific coast." Fur
thermore. Mr. Wickersham said. "Al
aska has more high-grade coal than
Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and
its development will support a million
people and create great coal and cop
per mining cities."
Millions of dollars have been ex
pended on railroad construction in
the last few years with a view of
opening up the coal fields of the
northern country, and the men who
realize the enormous value of the
coal and copper of Alaska will con
tinue on these lines of improvement
until they have brought Alaska's re
sources closer to the states.
Delegate Wickershaui's statement
that the development of Alaska's
coal mines will support a million peo
ple is not extravant. and men now
living may see the time when this
claim Is supported by actual condi
tions. ? Seattle P.-I.
THE KNOCKER.
I live to run my chickens upon
my neighbor's lawn; I live to raise
the dickens from sunset until dawn:
to spend my time in whining, and
grunting and repining, and when the
sun is shining, to swear the sun
light's gone. I live to loaf and lan
guish. while others strive and toil,
to kick up lots of anguish, and
trouble and turmoil; I live to find
and handle all sorts of grief and
scandal; folks say I am a vandal,!
and should be boiled in oil. I live
to scoff at virtue, I live to make a
fad, of all the things that hurt you.
and put you to the bad; 1 live to
prove the thesis that hope's as dead
as Greece is, and honor shot to pieces
and all the world gone mad. I live
to fuss and clamor, while others smile
and sing; to pack around a hammer,
and knock on everything; to make
my tongue a sabre, and slash at use
ful labor; to criticise my neighbor ?
and thus I have my fling.

That Love can bridge an archlns bow

SAYS WOMEN
ARE SAVAGES
CHICAGO, III. ? That woman is an
"eternal savage," and that she
"should not bo civilized," is tho opin
ion of Prof. Frederick Starr, famous
scientist and ethnological expert of
tho Chicago University.
Women are not civilized, and, what
is more, they should not be. he de
clared. "Women, the eternal savage,
will always be a savage. Woman
cannot be civilized because her fun
damental nature is barbarous. It is
better so, since the posterity, even
the continuance of the race depends
upon the rigid assertion of a funda
mental difference between man and
woman."
In his statement. Prof. Starr also
declares that woman's religion "is
also notably that of lower culture."
He says woman is always seeing
signs in everything, and that she is
the chief supporter of spiritualistic
mediums.

A timber exhibit from Alaska so
large that it is impossible to take it
into the Alaska building at the ex
position, has arrived on the grounds.
It is said to be the largest tree ever
grown in the North, and comes from]
Soukhoi island five miles from Peters
burg. It has been set up on the
grounds near the Mines building and
represents sections of a spruce tree. '
After the fair it will be presented to
the University of Washington. It'
took five men five days to fell the I
tree, which had a height of 217 and j
a circumference of 44 feet at the
base. The tree was felled on June I
I and has UOO rings ? .P.-I.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Tholr Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood iu tho body passes
through tho kidneys once every thre
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work nlgt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ttr is left in the blood. This brings
ou many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in tho back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
bearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in tho urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yeeler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement 1
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief 1 obtained from their use
has proven permanent. I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remody, I was unable to find relief.
1 had the most severe paius across
tho small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills holpod me at once and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on
many occasions."
