A French newspaper Is conducting
an election to determine who, In the
judgment of the French people, is the
greatest living person. Surprise has
been expressed that President Roose
velt is oniv eighth tn the list. Thomas
A. Edison has third place and U crowd
ing Mme. Sara Bernhart very closely
for second. Dr. Rous, at the head of
the Pasteur institute at Paris, stands
first in the heart's of his countrymen.
Theie is not an Englishman or a Ger
man in the voting, and the only two
Americans are Edison and Kooseyelt.
?
The battle that has been waged be
tween Mayor McClellan, of New York,
and the Tammany organization over
the appointment of city officials has
been settled. Mayor McCleilac will
make the appointments in the future as
he has been doing in the past but he
agrees to appoint no one that is inimical
to the orgacizstion. Jo the lover

will select the men to be employed,
promising only to put forward clean
and competent men.

The locmiion, limitation and manage
ment of the "restricted district" (so
called) is always and everywhere one of
the most vexatious problems our muni
cipalities nave to deal with. It is made
more so in small towns because it is al
most impossible to locate It and con
duct it in such a way but that knowl.
edge of it is the common possession of
the children of the community ? even
if contact with it i9 not theirs to a
greater or lesser extent.
Francis J. Henev has agreed to con
duct the prosecutions under the Oregon
indictments against Bioger Hermann,
It is said the acquittal of Hermann at
WubinKtoa and a feeling that ho is
guilty ai d should be punished lead the
prosecutor of Senator Mitttcbell and
Congresman Williamson to leel that he
would like to be in at the finish of an^
other Oregon Statesman.
Mr. Bryai would think more of
Hearst's judgment If the editor would

President Roosevelt seems to getting

LOOKS VfRY BAD
fOR BASEBALL
There wjs a meeting Sunday after
noon of those interested in baseball at
the White Pass club. J. M Tanner,
the manager of tbe Skagway team last
year and who will probably be the
manager of the team th's year if one is
placed in the field, is very much dis
couraged with the outlook. He said,
speaking of the situation yesterday:
"It does not look good. The base
ball proposition seems to have devel
oped into a case of which town can
afford to hire tbe best professional
timber from the South, instead of
real contests between local people. I do
not favor that kind of sport. We might
not have ateam at all."
Fix Is Married
Word was received here in the last
mail that Jacob C. Fix, for a long time
employed by the B. M. Behrends Mer
cantile Company, of this city, was
married recently at Seattle and that,
with his wife, he is residing in Everett.

Short Work Made of Re
stricted District Petition
The city council made short work of
the petitions to hare the restricted dis
trict of Ska?w?y removed from Seventh
avenue. The petition was laid on the
Uble "indefinitely" with but one dis
senting vote ? that of Councilman De
Seriay, wbo had moved that it be
referred to a committee, but got no
second.
The petitions which had been circu
lated by the Rev. J. W. Glenk contained
the names of 98 men and more than 30
women. It represented that the re
stricted district, being situated in the
center of the town,l? a menace to the
morals of the schoolchildren who have
to pass it regularly when on their way
to and from school or to the business
section of the town.
When the petition was read Mr. De
Serisy at once made a motion that It be
referred to a special committee to in
vestigate and report. There was no
second to the motion and Phil Abra
hams addressed the counoil.
Mr. Abrahams said that he appeared
for property owners, many of them
non-residents, whose interests are in
various parts of the town. He said
that it would be unfair to these proper
ty owners to force ths denizens of
Seventh avenue to other localities. He
said they had been restricted to that
place. They were removed to that
section, he said, from the alleys on
Broadway and State streets, from the
second stories of Broadway and Sixth
avenue and from other parts of the
town. He thought, after having been
there, they should be permitted to ra
main, and he thought that other locali
ties that had gotten free of them sheuld
be permitted tj remain free. Mr.
Abrahams also attacked the petitions,
saying that it was signed largely by
non-residents and non- tax payers.
Councilman Shea movjd that the
petitions be laid on the table indefinite
ly, and the motion carried. De Seris>
voting, "No."
Raatriotiv* Haaanraa Adopted
The council had already adopted re
strictive measures for the regulation of
Seventh avenue. The women have
been notified to keep the front doors of
their places closed, the window blinds
at kast half down and under no circum
stances to appear on the street except
in street attire.
The suggestion is made now that
Seventh nveoue, between Broadway
and State street, be closed and fenced
off. Whether any attempt to do that
will be made or not is not known.

MAI PROVE fATAL
Whan Will Alaska Peopla Laorn the
lnpartuoa of It ?
Backache la only a simple thing at
first; ?
But when you know 'tis from the
kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes, Bright's disease mav
be the fatal end,
Yon will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
William Bumgardner, retired, of 425
Water St., Salem, Ore., says: "I speak
from personal experience when I say
that Doan's Kidney Pills do all that is
claimed for them in curing kidney com
plaint and backache. I had felt the
need of such a remedy for a good long
while bat did not know just what I
should use. I have found that many
medicines are worthless and that even
physicians' prescriptions do not always
prove effective. When I read of Doan's
Kidney Pills, however, I was induced
to procure a supply. The backache and
irregular condition of the kidneys which
had annoyed me, quickly gave way on
beginning to use your remedy and I was
restored to a condition of ease and com
fort. I can recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to anyone in need of such a
medicine."
