It has been said that, notwithstand
ing his strenuous licks in the executive
department of the government and
apparent enjoyment thereof. Secretary
Taft really feels that he has not enter
ed upon the real work of his life, but
that he is possessed of a great longing
to step into the shoes of Chief Justice
Fuller. The story goes that President
Roosevelt has even gone so far as to
promise this coveted honor to his some
what bellicose cabinet officer. But,
alas for "the best laid plans of men
mice ? " etc., etc., the word
comes from Washington that Chief
Justice Fuller has no intention of aban
doning his official shoes for the secre
tary of war or any one else to don.
The venerable head of the supreme
court has administered the oath of
office to five successive presidents of
the United States, and it is said he
looks forward to performing the same
important service in 1909.
It need suprise no one if Secretary
Taft becomes a convert to Jacob Riis'
third term propaganda, hoping for the
opportunity to continue "to labor and
to wait."
William R. Hearst covered himself
with glory in connection with the San
Francisco disaster. In addition to be
ing one of the heaviest losers by the
earthquake and fire himself he gave
175.000 to aid the indigent. He con
tributed to the funds raise at Seattle,
Tacoma, Portland, Sacramento, , Los
Angeles, Salt Lake and other cities.
The first money received by Mayor
Schmitz on the morning of the fire was
a telegraphic draft for 85, 000 from Mr,
Hearst. It was received as soon as the
banks'opened on the fateful April 18.
The man who can and who will do the
most effective work in securing a
republican form of government for this
district is the proper man to send as
our first delegate in congress. AH
other issues are as child's play beside
this one in which the rights of the peo
ple are involved.
The crime of Gov. Swineford against
Juneau is that he attended a convention
of Alaskans at which the delegate
from Juneau failed to put in an appear
ance. That was very impudent.
The Post-Intelligencer says Skagway
is going to have a telephone system.
Well, well ! The Post-Intelligencer is
only six and a half years behind the
times.
At the last accounts, Seattle's con
tributions to the San Francisco suffer
ers amounted to more than $160,000.

Burwash Miners Prepare
Active Season
Fred Costello, of this city, has re
ceived a letter from Henry Itjen,
written at Burwash creek, April 4,
saying that claim owners on that creek
are preparing for an active summer's
work. They are hauling lumber, logs
and other material, making sluice box
es and otherwise getting ready for bus
iness. Some of them are drifting there
and ' have doing so for most of the
winter.
Mr. Itjen says he arrived on the
creek with his brother and the latter's
wife, March 31. They found N. J.
Black and Tom McDonald, of Skaway,
already there. A Mr. Smith, who also
has been in this city, wbs there.
Dr. Sugdon was drifting on his claim

NATURE'S WARNINY
Alaska People Mast RpooKnize and
Heed It
Kidney ills come quietly ? mysteri
ously,
But nature always warns you through
the urin.
Notice the kidney secretions.
See if the color is unhealthy ?
If there are settings and sediment,
Passages too frequent, scanty, painful.
It's time than to use Doan's Kidnev
Pills,
To ward off Bright's disease or
diabetes.
Thomas Russell, of 31 1 32nd Avenue,
Seattle, Wash., carpenter, says:
'"Irregular action of the kidneys
caused me great deal of trouble for more
than two years. The kidney secretions
were irregular and passiges were ac
companied with a scalding sensation.
I baa more or less pain i- my back and
stcoping or lifting hurt me. I used
many remedies said to be good for this
trouble, nut obtained little relief for
this trouble until I bought Doan's Kid
ney Pills. They helped me from the
first, and in a short time the kidney
trouble disappeared, and the backache
ceased. I always recommend Doan's
Kidn-y Pills when I hear anyone com
plaining of kidney trouble."
