FATE
la the death of Ah Choogv * China
man who was killed in California the
other day, those people who believe in
predestination ma; find much with
which to strengthen their contentions.
Ah Ohong * as a cook who sailed and
starved with the gallant De I?n* when
the JeauKte went on her last cruise
luto '.he far uurth Kew if aoy men
ev?r endured greater hardship* and
ii>ed to tell the tale than the survivors
of the ill-fated Jeanette. Ah ('hong
went through it all like a hero. He
assisted the other members of the uu
fort aua.e parly and deprived liiinself of
much of the scant rations which were
doled out to the men. After passing
through situations in which uioat meu
would have died, Ah (.'hong went to the
peaceful valleys of Californi i, bought
hlmseif a small fruit raneh aud settled
dowu to what should, uuder ordinary
circumstances, have proved to be a long
career: but strange indeed ate the va
garies of life, Ah L'hong was murdered
-Saturday by a half-breed Indian, who
thought the Chinaman had wealth
stored *omewhere about his cabin.
Truly fate euds some destiuies -tratije
ly.
SMELTER RUMORS
The t>ersistency with which rumors
about the establishment of a smelter
keep ia circulation ^ive-, much color to
the fact that there is more thjD a like
lihood that one will be located here.
Skagway is the uatural location for a
plant to treat Whitehorse ores. Water
transportation, both for roil used in
treating the ore and :or taking the
product of the sweltei out, are cheaper
here than at any point witbio hun
dred of miles of where the copper
ore is located. What Skagwav
merchants should be alWe to is
the fact that a sue given free to the
iuieresta seeking to establish auch m
ilustr.es often goes a long way towards
obtaining their location in places that
she w, by their desire to have theiu lo
cated within their limits, a friendliness
towards the owners of the plants.
Skagway should get busy and, if the op
portunity arises, should be prepared to
take advautage of it by navlng a tract
of land at its disposal which could be
ottered gratis to the company contem
plating establisbiag a smelter.
THE CALAMITY HOWLERS
The New York Times thiuks, or pre
tend* to thiok, that the country is going
to the dugs- all on account of Mr.
Koosevelt. Money is dear. says the
Times: the prosperity of the country is
strained', "in Wall street three billions
or more have been lopped off security
values in the last three weens." But,
Mr. Koo?evelt is uot likely "to be So
rt uencetf by the menace or presence of
business calamity ." He will persevere
lu his ruinous policy in spite of every
thing, thinks the Times.
Mr. Roosevelt would be very s>illy to
be influenced by the i alamily bowling
of the Times and the convicted corpora
tion magnates. There Is no "menace"'
uf business calamity" except in the
heated may! nations of a few infuriated
lawbreakers. Certainly no business ca
lamity is present, l'he "three billions"
of K*s to Wail street values is purely
flctltious. The gamblers cm writ*
"values" i! or down to tuit their owu
purposes. Just now it suits them to try
to frlghwu the President and the coun
try with the threat of a panic: so they
write stocks down. Presently they
will change tactic* and pric^ will go
up. But all this manipulation does not
affect the actual values of property a
particle, and fortunately the country
knows that it does not.
The only business of which some New
York papers seem to know anything is
stock gambling. Of the great com
merce and traffic upon which the coun
try thrives their ignorance is pitiful.
Agriculture, transportation, manufac
tures, all the real business of the coun
try, are securely prosperous. No ca
lamity exists, none Is threatened, none
1* possible. Panic talk Is partly the
?? i'.i ii 'OTih?

MAY PROVE FATAL
WHEN WILL ALASKA PEOPLE LEARN THE
IMPORTANCE OF IT?
Backache is only a simple thiug at
tint;
But when you know 'tis from the kid
ney*;
That serious kidney troubles follow.
Tnat diabetes or Bright's disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
William Hungarduer, retired, of 4J4
Water St., Salem, Oregon., says; "I
speak from personal experience when i
say that Down's Kidney Pills do all that
Is claimed for them in curing kidney
complaint and backache. 1 have felt the
need of such a remedy for a goo 1 long
while but did not know just what I
should use. * Have found that many
I- - are worthless anil that evjn
;di: prescriptions do not alw?ys
p ove ciH-euve. Wh-n I read of Doan's
Kidney l'llls, h ?? I whs induced to
procure a supply The backache and
rregulnr 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
ease and comfort. I cau recommend
Doan'd Kidney Pills to anyone in need
of such a medicine.'*
