The lending of a halt-million dollars
to the Jamestown exposition and the
announcement of the senatorial candi
dacy of Thomas F Ryan from the state
of Virginia la one brcnth Is one of the
most brazen political mo.'es of the
times, is it possible that Virgin'* will'
not resent this? The methods adopted
In the re-election of Senator Martin
Ryan's attorney, to the senate ov?r
former Got. Montague indicated that
the spirit of commercialism had in
raded the country sou.h of the Poto
mac, t>ut surely it has aot taken hold of
the Old Dominion in such a war as to
Induce the election of Ryan to the sen
ate? particularly not ?) on a cash basis
campaign such as it seems to be his in
tention to wa ge, ani against John
Warwick Daniel.
During the winter j'-ist passed, horse
stages covered the distance between
Valdez and Fairbanks in six and one
half da<s. The previous best time (for
dog te*ms1 was about nine days. That
Is sufficient answer to those who would
condemn the work of the Alaska road
commission.
The comproise between the Murphy
and McClellan factions of Tammany is
aaid to mean the elim nation of Hearst
as a factor in the New York Democratic
party. The reunited Tammany .organ -
ization it is said, will support William
J. Bryan for president.
The Chicago labor unions which have
condemned President Roosevelt so
severely on account of the Movsr
Haywood-Debs letters, have officially
stated that they are satisfied with his
explanations.
It Is not likely that former ^President
Cleveland would have a third term
nomination if he could, and it is certaiu
that he could not if he would.
The cost of the Chester Thompson's
trial to King country amounted to
r.ooo.
So there are other pebbles. Presi
dent Roosevelt is not to hare the only
third term boom.

W. M. Brewer Says Northern
Mines Do Well
"The mines of Southeas'ern Alaska
and Southern Y ukon ten itory are mak
ing good," said W. M. Brewer, the pop
ular mining expert and ore purchaser.
"They are making it so the country is
realizing upon Iti resources and is no
longer dependent upon mooey coming
in for invest ment.
"In the Whitehorse district, which
has long been a section of great prom
ise, the Pueblo, Arotio Chief and
Grafter mines are shipping ore, and 1
am told that W. J. Llmaudorf will open
tde Best Chaoce mine at once.
' W. H. Wiley, the famous mining
expert from Los Angeles nod Idaho
Sprint;', Col., is at Whitehorse making
-n expert examination of the mining
properties secured by and under the
control of Col. Thomas and associates."
Katchlkan Docs Well
Speaking of the Ketchikan district,
where his company gets a good deal of
ore, Mr. Brewer said:
"The Ketchikan district is producing
as much ore already this spring as ever
it did and before the end of the summer
it should greatly increase its output.
Prince of Wales island and the sur
rounding country are justifying in the
fullest the eiDectatioos of those who
have developed them."
Mr. Brewer arrived from Whitehorse
last night and will leave on the Dolphin
for Ketchikan. After spending some,
time there he will so South.

The kidneys are overtaxed;
Have too much to do.
They tell about it in manv aches and

Backache, sideache, headache,
Ei?rly symptons of kidney ills.
Uriaary troubles, diabe es. Bright's

W. R. Mcintosh, of 593 Harrisoa Ave.
Astoria, Oreg., says: "For years, off
and on, I suffered a good deal from a
deranged condition of the kidneys and
lameness and aching across the small of
my back, which annoyed me very much
al my work aDd made it painful to stoop
over or lift an> thing, I often thought
I was troubled with gravel, so painful
was the passage of the kidney secret
ions. Doan's Kidney Pills came to my
notice and I procured them at a drug
store. They helped me from the first
and soon relieved the pain and lameness
in my back, corrected and regulated
the kidney secretions, and the lapse of
time since I gave my first statement re
tarding my satisfactory experience with
yonr remedy, has shown that the bene
fit derived is still of a lasting nature."
