BAL LINGER AND PINCHOT.
? i ?
Washington dispatcher state that
Richard Ballinger, Secretary of the
Interior, is contemplating the removal
of Gifford Pinchot, head of the for
estry bureau. The reasons for the re
moval are said to be lack of co-oper
ation and erratic habits on the part
of Pinchot Pinchot wears his hair
long and has a poetic appearance, but
he is a v,ry efflc- ini mac iu forestry
work and has done much for the peo
ple of this country iu carrying out
the policy of conservation of our pub
lic forests. The lack of co-operation
may be due to the fact that Ballinger
is rather inclined to throw open the
public lands to all comers, in opposi
tion to the former Rooseveltian policy,
It will be remembered that he had
one clash with James Wilson, Secre
tary of Agriculture, over this matter
and that Mr. Wilson wan his point.
Ballinger is liable to make a mis-step
if he removes Pinchot. The people
iu general approve of the forestry
policy followed by Pinchot.
THE LANDLADY.
1 run a hash bazaar, just up the
street; there all my boarders are yel
ling for meat; boarders carnivorous,
boarders herbivorous; Allah deliver
us! just watch them eat! Boarders
are ravenous all the world o'er; "feed
till you spavin us," thus they implortj
boarders are gluttonous, roast beef
and muttonous; "come and unbuttou
us, so well oat more!" Little they
pay me for chicken and rice; yet they,
waylay me for dainties of price;
"bring us canary birds" ? these are
their very words, bawling like hairy
Kurds ? "bring them on Ice!" I give
them tea aud toast, jelly and jam,
some kind of stew or roast, codfish
or ham; their words are Chaucerous:
?'Dame Cup-and-Saucerous, brings us
rhinocerous, boiled with a yam!" 1
run a boarding booth, as 1 have said;
there Age and Smiling Youth, raise
the Old Ned; maybe the clamoring,
knocking and hammering bunch will
be stammering when 1 am dead! ?

According to press dispatches the
Canadian government has caught the
COhtagion of the battleship building
craze and is going to equip several
dreadnaughts and present them to tha
mother country. This is all well and
fcood, but as F. T. Congdon, M. P.
from the Yukon, staled in Parliament
last winter, Canada needs box cars
more than battleships.
So John T>. Is considering the advis
ability of giving away his fortune.
Perhaps 'in his old age John has
espoused the doctrine that it "is eas
ier for a camel to pass through a
needle's eye than for a rich man to
enter the kingdom of heaven."
Be of the same mind toward one
another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low t?tate. Be
not wise In your own conceits ? .Ro

JAP POACHER
IS CAPTURED
Revenue cutter Perry recently niada
the first of the annual seizures of
Japanese poaching schooners in the
Pribilof lslauds, capturing the Tokai
Maru inside the three-mile limit wth
three officers and fifteen sailors.
Four small boats escaped.
This uews was brought to Valdez
by the St Croix, which picked up the
story at Dutch Hafbor, where the
schooner was taken after the capture.
The Perry reported at Dutch Harbor
that the Japanese sealing schooners
are more numerous than ever before
around the ^eal islands.
Local Japanese say the Tokai Maru
belongs to the same company as the
Xita Maru, which was captured last
year. Members of the Nita's crew in
jail here for last year's poaching say
the Tokai is a new schooner, less
than three years old, and carried fort}
men ? Valdez Prospector.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in tho body passes
through tho kidneys once every thre
minutes. 'The kidneys filter the blood
They work nigt and day. When
healthy they remove about GOO graius
of impure matter daily, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ttr is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in tho back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
1-earlng, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
ir tho urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
*ith your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, C69 Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement 1
gave for publication somo years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has provon permanent I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
1 had the most severe pains across
the small of my back and was also
annoyed by Irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Pills helped me at once and continuo
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills j
and have recommended them on
many occasions."
