UNHAPPY MARRIAGES
The Sunday paper* down below are
playing up poems and jingling ver?es
about "The Primley Girl" and "The
Cudilley Girl,'1 and a lot more rot. In
a tiresome way thev tell of the "Sap
pho ic ids. " Both the girls, we are told,
are not "A squeezable girl, but a teas
able filrl." She is. so the tiapers tell
us, "adelooair girl," an "I don't care
girl." I'his is the twentieth century
and rot like the above is peddled out to
us for the edification of the home on
Sunday morning.'
Every one likes to meet a girl who ii
a good fellow, but the disgusting stuff
?ome of the big papers pre running is
really harmful. The Spartan-like wom
en of the da.>3 of our forefathers, who
spun their own clothes, endured the
privations of their brothers and fathers,
who moulded bullets while the country
was defended by the men of America
against che tyranny of England; who
tore up their party dresses to make
bandages for the injured at Yorktowo;
the cultured women of the South who
were stripped of their earthly posses
sions during the war of secession and
who, without murmur, when deserted
bv their slaves, performed the labors
the negroes had been accustomed to d*>
These good souls have been allowed to
become forgotten, and the girl who can
drive an automobile, smoke cigarettes,
drink high balls and wear manoish
clothes is taking her pUce, and then a
lot of people who never think wonder
why unhappy marriages are ou the la
crease.
"Our member of the tenltorlal leg
islature, Mr Robrrt Lowe, was re
ceiv.d in regular VVhitehorse fashioo
on his return from his labors at Daw
son, where he performed yeoiuan ser
vice in behalf of his constituency. Mr.
Lowe's e'ectiuo was unanimous, and
his efforts in behalf of his district have
net only been uuanimous but they have
been magnanimous. The public im
provements obtained by Mr. Ljwe for
his district will stand as monuments to
bis untiring energy and love of home
institutions for all time to come.?
Wbitehors? Star.
The action of Mr. Lowe in the coun
cil but carries out the opinion of him
entertained by The Alaskan at the time
of bis election. In do ng *11 ibat he
could for his home district and his
friends The Alaskan but sees a demon
stration of the characteristics which
are typical of Mr. Lowe iu the ordinary
walk- of life he's a good member.
THE MEDIOCRES
The sisters of Mtb'e Gi mac. who
recently marriid William E. Corey, the
Steel Kiug, bare decided to go upon the
stage aD'l utilize the reputation which
Mable Giiman obtained when an
actress -and .ta such ciptured her mul
ti-millionaire husband. Neither ot the
?inter? may be able to play for million
aire. but they propose to play upon the
reputation of their millionaire sister?
aud so they advertise the fact that they
belong to the Giiman family, whose
oldest member played to great financial
luck.? Seattle Times.
The Giliuan sisters but follow io the
wake of the less successful in families
that is the cause of merriment the
world over. One can see almost any
place ? upon the stage and the theatre
of real life? creature* of mediocre
ability who through family mendicancy
are aselited financially or allowed to
play upon the names of their relatives.
Shallow people tolerate them and the
serious mit ded look upon tbem for just
what they are and laugh at them.
Human nature is all alike. It does
not matter whether It crops out in big
corporation dealings, politics or every
day life. For a long time the people of
Oklahoma had been getting the wotsti
of it from the railroads and when the I
democrats got a chance the other da; ;
10 frame up the constitution for tin
proposed new state, in the language oi
ibe small boy "they didn't do a thing j
THE ATLIN DISTRICT WILL
| SHOW BETTER THAN EVER
9
Tbat the Atlla district has a bright
future Is evident from the interview
bad with T. D. Kearos. which is given
below;
"The outlook for Atlin," said Mr.
Kearns yesterday, "is better at the
present time than it> has been at any
time in my recollection. To be sure
there are not so many individual min
inera as there used to be, but the b'g
companies are in better shape and neiog
rapidly fitted to handle the lower gmde
of gravel at better results. The work
so far done there demnn.,tates that Wil
son creek will be one of the biggest
producers in the district. Ruby creek
Is again very active. The company
working there has gotten into good pay
dirt and next year will flnd.it one of
the biggest gold producers over there.
The Guggenheim steam shovel on Tar
Flats has been working seadily all
season, handling a large arnouot of
gravel which every one knows carries
big values. The North Columbia Gold
CO them.'' Iu fact Oklahoma has
forced a political scandal upoD the
atteotioa of the nation. Provisions in
the new constilto'.ioo are so outrageous
io some particular!, that the ablest mm
of the country have not hesitated to de
nounce them as undemocratic and
wholly subversive of anything like
popular control. CoLgresS will be
c*l!eU upon to thresh over this ugly
record and statehood will be delayed.
There Is a way to brills' corporations
to tiuie. Occasions arise when It is
necessary to go farther in doing so than
Is agreeable, but the action of the
statesmen down ia (ndian territory
shows that when given a chance they
went too far and if the people arc given
the opportunity they sh> u!d get rid of
the gentlem-n as soon as possible.

Backache is only a simple thing at

That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes or Briglit's disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the follow

speak from personal experience when 1
say that Doan's Kidney Pills do all that
Is claimed for them in curing kidney
complaint and backache. I have felt the
need of such a remedy for a goo I long
while but did not know juit what I
should use. I have found that many
medicines are worthless and that evon
physicians' prescriptions do not always
p-ore effective. When l read of Doan's
Kidney Pills, however, 1 was Induced to
procure a supply. The backache and
Irregular condition of the kidneys
which had annoyed me, quickly gave
way on begining to use your remedy
and I was restored to a condition of
eaae and comfort. I can recommend
IJoan'd Kidney Fills to au.vone in need
of such a medicine."

Mining company got an early start and
is doing better than ever this year, and :
with the completion of the ditch which
they are bringing out from Surprise
Lake, which is IS feet wide at the bot
tom and 22 feet., wide at the top,
their capacity will be greatly increased.
It is rumored tnat the company will
bring the ditch over to Spruce creek,
which will be a great boon to the min
ers there. The Denny-Blaine company,
od Spruce creek, is building a bedrock
flume from Spruce CYeek falls up the
creek to their holdings. It will proba
bly be completed this year, thus enabl
ing them to handle an Immense amount
of gravel on their property. Times
have been very good in the distric: this
season and there has been a scarcity of
labor jt all times Spruce creek, a> usual,
has twen the banner creeic for the indi
vidual miner and the gross output of
thecdistrict will be larger than ever.1'
Like many others from the inside,
Mr. and Mrs Kearns bave decided to
spenil the winter in Skagwav.
