The assurance that Kainv Hollow 1*
to be developed on a large tca'.e it a
reminder that Skajjway is located in
the midst, of the greatest mineral
region in the North. We are virtually
surrounded by quartz and placer Selds
which bea r gold, silver, copper,
lead and other minerals. Thl* city it
the hub of this district and the con
nection between tide-water and land
transportation. It offers an ideal lo
cation for smelters and the headquart
ers for mining companies.
S. Herbert Moore, the candidate of
the Civic League, defeated. the "organ
isation" candidate for the Republican
mayorality nominated at Spokane at
last week's primary. It is alleged that
the Democrats helped the reformer to
win the victory. The motive of the
Democrat* will be better understood
after it shall have been discovered
whether or not they will vote for Mr.
Moore at the election or for the Dem
ocratic nominee.

Thai newspapers iu the large cities I
can use small bore guns whan fighting
one another was shown the other day
when the Seattle Times wrote up the
story of the burning of the Seattle j
Star without mentioning that paper
except as "a small afternoon paper."
The Times' editor has given orders
that the n.ime of the Star shall not
appear in the Times' columns.
Twenty-four pouches of letter mail
half of which were registered and 6.000
pounds of newspapers, en route from
the East 10 the Seattle postoffice, were
destroyed at Bartiett, South Dakota,
April 15th. Whether or not eny of the
destroyed letters were for Alaska is cot
stated, but it is presumed that there
were. |
It is said that President Roosevelt
has notified Taft that he must take
care of himself in Ohio; In the mean
while the president has begun nursing
Cot. Hughes' boom in New York.
Considered by. and large, the latter's
boom is more promising than that of
the big war secretary.
While the tide will ebb and flood
many times, no doubt, between the
present ?nd the decision of Ohio
Republicans as to where they stand on
the question of the presidential suc
cession, there is no doubt but that it is
low tide at Taft headquarters just now.
Gen. Kuroki, the great Japanese
general who showed such a masterly
capacity in the war with Russia in
Manchuria, will visit the United
Statts next month. Lieut. Gen. Mo"
Arthur will meet him officially when
he arrives at Seattle.
After all. is it possible the resignation
of W illiam I jjeb. the p.-esidect'i secre
tary, is confirmatory of the contention
that Senator Penrose, while in iiiseups,
as it is said, did tell that .15,000,000
conspiracv? against-Roosevelt story as
a huge joke on Loeb?
Speaking of mistakes of legislative
bodies, a serious Oversight on the
part of the Idaho legislature, made last
winter but just discovered, reveals that
all the spring school elections !h th*
State of Idaho are illegal.

ON fOR GOOD
Federal Government Says
"No More Gambling"
Juneau, April 27? The Juneau Dis
patch savs:
"It ia known that the United States
Attorney General has issued orders to
the proptr federal authorities in Alas
ka to olose gambling and to keep It
closed or resign their positions.
"As a result of this gambling has
closed at Fairbanks and other wide open
towns in the interior. This week the
lid will go on at Valdez, thereby clos
ing every town in Alaska where gambl
ing has been carried on. For some
time there baa been an intimation that
such action would be taken.
"The Daily Dispatch knows that this
is authentic and that games of chauce
in Alaska are a thing of the past. This
rigid order is said to have resulted from
the many charges filed against federal
judges in Alaska in which it was claimed
that they allowed open gambling in
their judicial divisions. In response to
an inquiry by the department certain
judges very plainly informed the attor
ney general that it was not their duty
to go out and secure evidence to con
vict gambling. As a result the order
was issued to federal authorities to
olose gambling and to keep it closed."
Frank Hammond In Nevada
Frank C. Hammond, formerly prom
inently interested In mining in South
eastern Alaska, is now in charge of a
mine at Blaire, Nevada.

Mrs. J. \V. Painter, of 310 East 7th
St., Portland. Oregon, says: "I have
not lost any of my faith in Ooan's Kid
ney Pills since I publicly recommended
the remedy In FeKruary 1903. As I
stated at that time, a severe spell of
sickness early in my life left me with
weak kidneys and as time went cn, 1
suffered more and more with spells of
backache. The pain thiough the kid
neys was torture and often I could not
find a comfortable position to lie In.
When able to be up and around, 1 was
troubled with headaches and dizziness
and could not stoop or lift anything. I
doctored and used various treatments,
but nothing seerael to help me any un
til I began using Doan's Kidney Pills.
The use of this remedy was very satis
factory. It gave me such relief that I
cannot hesitate to recommend it and
will put in a good word for Doan's Kid
ney Pills whenever I find an oppor
tunity."
