TION
It might b? of interest to those who
have beard it urged against territorial
government (or Alaska that county
governments would be too burdensome
to the taxpayers toknow that there is a
county in California which has been
organized for many years the popula
tion of * hich is but 500. Alpine county,
California, lies in the heart of the
Sierra Nevada*, far removed from
ra ! roads or oiher means of communi
cation with the outside world. It casts
less than 100 votes anu the last census
credited it with containing 509people ?
white, black and yellow.
It must be remembered that |Alpine
county is in a state where the legis
lature is made up of representative*
from populous and rich counties who
legislate for those living midst all the
luxuries in the way of government that
that AHh century has developed. If aj
few hundred people cau maintain aj
county government under those con
ditions and thrive as do these Califor
nia moutaineers, how much easier
would it'be for a legislature ofAlaskans
to make laws to fit conditions that are
more nearly general 1

for Ala>ka Paopla to Neglect
The great danger of kidney troubi's,
is chat they get a firm hold before : e
sufferer recognizes them. Health i
gradually undermined Buckaci I
headache, nervousness. lameness, so
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, drop ? j
diabetes and Bright's disease follow i
merciless succession. Don't nepK-ct j
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys \v th
the certain and safe remedy. Doa t's j
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 W. |
Fourth St., Olympia, Was1]., says: "1 j
have no idea how much surferimr 1
would have avoided had I known the
value of Doan's Kidney Pills soon ;r i
For three years I have suffered, doct >r.
ea and treated for a dropsical condit'on !
of the body without ever knowing the
true source of the trouble to be in t lie |
kidneys, until, about two tni nths a;c. ;
when I was induced to try Doan's K J
uey Pills. I had swelling of the f<.eM
and limbc my bands would puff up, et
tenie and I could hardly close th n
The other symptoms were lost sight ^
in the more noticeable ones. After r >
curing Doan's Kidney Pills, I fo .d !
prompt relief from the start. The aw 1- 1
ing bloating were reduced until r y
entirely disappeared and a toning ip |
and strengthening of my whole sys u
was felt. The other day 1 climbed u u j

I tried the same feat and nearly br. :t
