YUKON'S CAPITA!.
Assistant Gold Commissioner Gosse
lin, of Dawson, speaking at a banquet at
Conrad City the other day. said that in
all probability within a short time the
southern end of V ukon territory will
be more populous than the Klondike,
and that it might become necessary to
move the capital from Dawson up the
river.
The prediction is one that not only
might very well be fulfilled, but that is
?ery likely to be. The development
of the silver-gold properties in the vi
cinity of Conrad City, of the copper
properties of Whitehorse and the
placer fields of the Big Salmon, Tes
lin and Alsek countries is progress
ing in a way tbat will make room for
hundreds on hundreds of laboring men
next year, and the demand for men will
increase from year to year until this
end of the territory will surpass the
other in population and importance.
When that time shall come, as come it
must, economy of government and con
venience will demand that the capital
be removed south to Whitehorse, Con
rad City or some other suitable loca
tion at this end of the districs.
Seattle will not be outdone in putting
on metropolitan airs. Some time ago
there was a train robbjry in the city
limits of Chicago. It was followed by
one near New York city. Now Seattle
is in line with a tirst-class hold-up on
the outskirts of their ciiy.
Half of Oregon's djlegation will not
be able to respond to roll call at the con
vening of congress in December. It will
be busy trying to avoid a roll call up
the Willamette at Salem.
The appearance of snow down to the
timber line, signalling the approach of
winter, is causing sledge dogs to sit up
and take notice.
Fires have been about as numerous
in Portland this year as cyclones in the
Texas panhandle
William Randolph Hearst is still
playing with the limelight.

Benefit.
There have been many cases like the
following in Alaska. These plain,
straightforward statements will do
much toward reliev.ng the suffering of
thousands. Such testimony will be read
with interest by many people.
P. A. Johnson, carpenter, WW South
I street, Tacorna, Wash , says:
"For a year or so I took defferent
medicines trying to strengthen my
Kidneys, but my efforts were unsuccess*
ful and I grew worse instead of better
and trouble with the Kidney secretions
came to be a positive annoyance. I
need not give minuter particulars and
what cured me is of more importance.
I got Doan's Kidney Pills and took a
course of the treatment. lean honestly
say I have not felt a pain in my back
nor had any annoyance from too fre
quent action of the kidneys since
I stopped the use of this medicine."

Which He Calls Immoral
Last Saturday Collector of Customs
Busby, of Dawson, seized a number|of
French novels which had lately been
receivod at the Carnegie library at that
place. They were seized and removed

the English language but the majority
are in French. Within the past 18
months over 800 volumes of French
books have been added to ;the library
and the French-speaking population

Fairbanks and Skagway.

30 passengers. She had an even 160
passengers from here. The rooms re

new Alaska code, to modify the exist

chise.

4 Scheming Mamma
[Original.]
"Goodby," ho said, reluctant to drop
the hand be held.
"Goodby." she repeated, but without I
an equal show of feeling. ]
"I shall oorne back"? i
"When you are older, and then you I
will not see me with the same eyes."
"I shall love you then as now."
"That depends upon how long you
remain away."
"If I remain away twenty years
there will be no change In me."
Such was the paning between Mi'.ton
Robbius. aged niuetecn, and Alexia ?
Dyer, widow, aged tweuty-flve. He
was going to a distant city to begin
a business career at $10 a week and
was heartbroken because she would
not consent to an engagement.
For fifteen years Robbius devoted
himself exclusively to two things
money making and writing letters to
the woman he loved. He had a nat
ural gift for the former aud was not
half bad at the latter. Mrs. Dyer re
piled to his effusions at intervals, but
at the end of ten years dropped ber
side of the correspondence for a long
while. When she resumed it, Kobblns
was pleased that a rest seemed to
have freshened her feelings. She re
sponded more heartily than before to
the warmth be put into bis own words.
At last he wrote that he was getting
his affairs in shape to go and claim
his promise. The lady intimated mod
estly that her friends assured her that
hers was a remarkable ease of wo
man keeping her youth, and if when
he saw her be was of the same opinion
and felt the same toward her as when
they parted she would couseut to marry
him. He replied that he did not love
ber for her beauty and whether she
looked old or young he would claim
her promise.
When Robbius first saw his Alexia
after so many years' separation it was
in the gloaming of a summer evening.
It did not occur to hiiu that a woman
under the circumstances would choose
such a light which would best conceal
the change in her. Nevertheless the
moment he saw her he started, not at
the change, but at the want of chauge.
He knew the Interval that had passed
and could not believe that time had
left her so nearly what she was. But
when she came forward covered with
blushes to welcome him with the same
peculiar gall, the same unique toss of
the head by which he would know her
among a hundred, he gave 110 thought
to changes or want of changes, but
took her in his arms.
When Uls first transports wore over
Alexia said to him, "Toll me, ami tell
the truth, wherein am I changed?"
Robbins surveyed her critically. "You
loot," he said. "I should say about five
years older tliau when we parted."
Then, noticing that she was disap
pointed. ho added, "So, only about two
years older."
At this she smiled the same sweet
smile he had loved so well, and he
went on: "One thing I notice in you, I
grant, is changed. Your voice was the
only feature in your makeup that X did
not fancy. It was a trifle shrill. The
years have mellowed it into a rich con
tralto."
This compliment seemed to please her
inordinately. She could not repress a
self satisfied smile that hovered about
her lips. She did not seem to tire of
such criticisms and asked for other of
her improvements, and he, seeing that
to hear them pleased her, told her of a
number.
"And now," he said at parting, "I
take It that nothing remains but the
wedding. I beg of you not to keep me
waiting. I propose a trip to Europe. I
have only a limited time to spend
away from my business, and every day
spent here must be taken from our so
journ there."
"If you care no more for display than
I we can be married immediately."
"Very well. Let it be tomorrow
morning and we'll take the steamer
that sails at 1 o'clock."
The couple were goue two months
when they returned to tho bride's
home, where they rested a few days
before going to their new one. One
evening they were sitting side by side
When Mrs. Kobblns said, "I wish you
to tell me whether you are perfectly
satisfied with me."
am more than satisfied. I am
delighted. When I knew you first I
will admit there were certain traits
In your character that at times grated
on my sensibilities. Time has not only
obliterated them, but developed many
attractive features that I did not even 1
know you possessed."
"And you love me better than my
other sell that you knew years ago?"
"Far tetter. You always told me
that middle aged men prefer younger
women; that when I should be at my
present age I would scorn a woman of
your age. In reality, while I fiud that
you have changed but little physically,
your mind, your soul, is greatly Im
proved."
He had hardly finished speaking
when a portiere was pulled aside and
a middle aged lady came into the room.
Sho was without hat and gloves, and
sttaied as much at home as If she had
alway3 lived at the house.
"My dear," said Mrs. Robbins, ris
ing, "this is my mother."
"Your mother"' exclaimed Robbins,
astonished. "I didn't know you had a
mother."
"Oh, yes. she has," said the lady ad
vancing, with a smile, "and a schem
ing one. Milton, don't you know me?" I
Robbins stared at her and recognized
the woman he had loved fifteen years
before. As he looked he saw what ho
had escaped.
"Alexia," he said gallantly, "I Ion#
you still, but It is you who have forced
me to love you as my mother."
