COAL SHORTAGE IS BUG
INVfSflGAfED

(Special dispatch to the Daily Alaskan) I
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 18 ? The
interstate commerce commission has
begun the investigation of tne coal
shortage throughout the northwest,
i'hc railroads promise to relieve the
situation today. All the available rars
have leen imaishalled into coal trains
and fuel is starting in ull directions.
Railroad Men Explain
Washington Dec. 18 ? The Northern
Pacific Railroad president has wired
to the interstate commerce commission
explaining that the cause of the coal
famine in the Dakotas and Minnesota is
the shortage of cars with which 10
transport coal, but in Washington,
Idaho and Montana, the trouble lies in
the fttct that the supply of coal is
less than the demand. J
Cattle DjIiir
Cattlemen of the western states are
wiriog to President Roosevelt saying
that the cattle are dying in the
blizzards that are raging over the
pranes and plains because there are no
cars in which to ship them.
Senator Culbertson, of Texas, asks
that the senate investigate the matter.

MAY PROVE FATAL
When Will Alnnkii Pt- opto Lonrii til*
Importance rf It?
Backache is only a simple thing at
first:
But when you krow 'tis from the
kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes, Bright's disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
William Bumgardter, retired, of 424
! Water S... Salem, Ore., says: "I spealt
from personal experience when I say
that Dom's Kidney Pills do all that is
[claitncd for them in curing kidney com
j p'aint and backache. I had felt the
| need of such a remedy for a gcod long
[ while hut did not know just what I
j should use. I have found that many
, medicines re wortl'les* and that even
j physicians' prescriptions do not always
I prove effective. _ When I re?d of Doan's
i Kid 'ey Pill-, hcvever, I was induced
? to procure a supply. The backache and
irregular condition of the kidneys wliieh
h-d annoyed me, quickly gave way on
beginning o usr your remedy ard I
?as r> stored to a condition of ease mid
j comfort. I can recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills to anyone in need of such a
medicine.-'
