1 1. P. R. 1HREHEB
For the reason that The Alaskau saw fit to publish a
news matter regarding a ship belonging to the company by
which F. F. \V. Lowle is employed as local agent in this
city the editor is this morning in receipt of the following
letter:
Skagway, Alaska, Oct. 16th, o7.
The Editor,
The Daily Alaskan, City.
Dear Sir: ?
From this date please discontinue the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company's Ad. in your paper, also supplying the
ottlce with a copy. Render yonr bill to date, and I will
settle for the same.
Yours truly,
F. F. W. Lowle, Agent,
1-ast night The Alaskan was called up on the 'phone
and insolently told that unless a retraction was made the
patronage of the Canadian Pacific company would be taken
from the office. Mr. Lowle was told that it was a matter of
the slightest indifference whether the foreign corporation
carried an advertisement in this newspaper or not.
Naturally we deprecate a controversy with one who
has been in American territory for so short a time that he
does not appreciate the manner of conducting business in
this country..
We thoroughly understand tiiat 31r. i,o\vle lias, irom
much preaching to others, likely imagined that he could
preach to the newspapers iu American territory. It was
doubtless uureckoned by F. F. \V. Lowle that mollycoddle
tactics do not average up well in America, and when the
<moke has all cleared away and Mr. Lowle is told by the
.tperiors of his company to reinstate their advertisement
iu l i.e !>aily Alaskan, which he will be, he will then un
derstand that his was a case ot the grasshopper jumping
l>efore the shingle dropped.
And while the matter is under discussion it is
well to call the attention of the Skagway people to the;
practices indulged in by the Canadian Pacific local agent.
Since his arrival here the Canadian Pacific boats have be
come hotels-people are allowed to live aboard the boats while
in port and until sailing without extra charge. This hurts the
hotel-keepers who live here and pay for the privilege of
running their business. Frequent trips inside ''drumming
up" business for the foreign boats are also a part of the
plan instituted by Mr. Lowle, contrary to an agreement
which he and the agents of the other boats entered into and
which they keep faith with.
The Alaskan would also call attention of Mr. Lowle to
the fact that there is a stringent law ? one whose violation
carries a severe penalty ? to employing contract labor in
this country, which The Alaskan will look into at a future
time. The Alaskan at this time has not the space to
devote to the Canadian Pacific Railroad, but will, very
shortly convey interesting reading matter to the public along
these lines in reference to matters connected with the Can
adian Pacific railroad, now that the local agent with the
alphabetical name has seen fit to open up the subject.

When your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles *et in,
Your kidneys are '"in a bad way."
Doan's ItiUuey Pills will cure vou.
Here is local evidence to prove it:
Mrs. Martha Currin?ton, of I7I8
South K ai.,Tacoma, Wash., says: I can
cheerfully recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills as a remedy which does just what
is claimed for it. Backache and dis
order of t>-e kidneys troubled me fo- a
uumber of years. There were other
symptoms which also showed that the
kidneys were not acting properly. I
used different remedies which were rec
ommended to me by friends but I never
used anythine that went right to the
root of the trouble like Doan's Kidney
Pillls did. They can certainly be
relied upon and will bring satisfactory
results in every case where they are
given a fair trial."
