PREMATURE CRITICISM.
As might have been jx pec ted, WtcW
ersham (ailed to 'make good.'' for
the very reason that he was not re
cognized at the capital a-s a regular
Republican. Party lines are drawn in
congress and it is hopeless for any
man to expect to successfully put
through legislation of any importance
unless he is in thorough affiliation
and harmony with the dominant side
? and this stde is the Republican side.
? Cordova Alaskan.
The above article appeared in a j
late issue of the Cordova Alaskan !
and is a fair sample of the mis-state- 1
ments which the Tory press of Alaska
are wont to print.
One not familiar with Alaskau pol
itics would infer from this article that
Delegate Wickersham was just finish
ing his term of office, when in point
of fact he is Just commencing it.
While he took his seat in the House
last March It was only because Presi
dent Taft had called a special sesslou
of congress and every one knows
that the time of congress was taken
up with the consideration of the tar
iff bill, and had little if any time for
Alaskan affairs, but in the face of
that Delegate Wickersham was recog
nized by a republican speaker and as
signed a seat on the republican side
of the House and was placed on two
important committees.
While new in the office of Delegate,
Wickersham was not unknown in
Washington and his influence was
felt there even before he had taken
his seat, and no unbiased man, read
ing the records can say that he did
not make good even during the spe
cial session.
Delegate Wlckershain's term of of
fice is all before him, and when he
has finished his term, and not until
then, does it become any fair minded
man to say whether or not he has
kept faith with the people who sent
him there, to say whether or not he
has made good, for it was the people
who sent him there and not a cot
erie of political jobbers to whom he
nor the people owe anything.

MORE RED CROSS STAMPS.
The bright little red cross stamps
which adorned millions of letters and
Christmas packages last winter will
he in evidence again by the first of
next month. An order has been given
for the printing of 30,000,000 of them
and they will be distributed all over
the country for sale.
Nobody needs to be told what they
are for. Last year they netted $M0,
000 for the Ameiican Red Cross trea
sury . The money has been used in
the great crusade against tuberculosis
Part of it has been devoted to the '
educational branch of the work and
part to the buying of medicine and di
etary food, the employment of nurses
to go about among the poor and the
maintalnance of "day camps," where
patients get the benefit of rest, fresh
air and proper nourishment. More
than the 30,000,000 stamps now being
prepared will be needed before the
passing of the holiday season, and
the good record of last year will un
doubtedly be bettered.
No prettier way of offering the
greetings of happiness and good will
which will come naturally from the
heart at Chrlstmaa time could be de
viaed. The new stamps are even more
beautiful and striking than the last
ones. The cost to the purchaser is

ACKNOWLEDGE IT
Hydraulic mining is the most pro
mising method of exploitation for
the Innoko district, according to the
report, of mining men who are Investi
gated the district this summer. To
carry out this scheme with the great
est possible profit, three tilings are
necessary ? thorough prospecting of
the gold-bearing ground under expert
supervision, the bringing of water
from a considerable distance, and the
consolidation of all mining interests.
This plan applies to Gaines, Little
and Ophir creeks, near the headwat
ers 'of the Innoko.
There is ample water in Gaines
creek for hydraullcktng, though on
account of the grade the tailings,
would have to be disposed of by me
chanical means. The two other
streams would havo to be prospected
very carefully to determine whether
there is enough pay gravel to justify
the expense of bringing water from
a distance. The consolidation of the
claMus would be no small task in it
self, for there are 1,200 claims re
corded in the precinct.
The total gold production of the
Innoko for 1907-8 is estimated at
200. Of this amount, $72,100 Is cred
ited to the year 1908. Four claims
produced more than $10,000 each, but

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys In good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the uume work In other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fenton, 3903 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
ment for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
' had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
havo since had no return of kidney
complaint."
