CAUTION TO CAMPERS.
Care should ue iak* a by caiupers
who arc out in the hills and' up the
valleys to extinguish all camp fires
before lea > ing the spot where they
have had one burniug.
The disastrous fire which has beeu
doing so very much damage to the
north of the city should be a very
peftiuent reminder of this important
duty ? PUT OUT THE FIRE.
It wil] take several years to re
store those hills and valleys with
their beautiful green mantle, anu
still more years to grow timber of
any \alue in a commercial way.
It is true that it has beeu made
almost a felony for an Alaskan to
use any of his timber for utilitarian
purposes ? the 1 in*, hot crowd has
forbade it ? but nevertheless cur
trees leud a pleasant aspect to the
surroundiug hills, and in this light
are a joy forever.
The Alaskau does not wish to in
timate uiat anvoue would deliberate
ly leave a fire burning in our for
ests, but siuii>i> to accentuate the
absolute necessity of being careful
w.th camp fires. 1'C'T OIT THE
t'lUE uefore leaving the spot where
out has been built.
NOT SAFE TO -SWAP'- NOW.
it is proposed lo transfer the Al
aska oubie and .aad ie.egrapli sys
tems to Ui* care of the rosioffice
Department, by u terms of a bill
now iu tiie t uited States Senate.

protest ? having not much else to do,

-Vaiwa}', the De.egate says there
are a number of reasons why the
?>hufflc shoulu not be made and the
P. O. L). saddled with another bur
den. As usual t..e Delegate is pro
lix. There is but one paramount, all
sultincut, overwhelming reason why
the decrepit i'ostoifice Department
should not be permitted to play
horse with the A<a.>ka telegraph ser
vice. And that is L^a .av the I'ost
ottiee Department is so hait, lame
and blind, so utterly incompetent in
method* of mana^ ment that in less
than ninety days it would have for
gotten whether it was operating tel
egraphic lines in A.aska, or running
rural free delivery routes in Iowa or
Oklahoma. The Posioffic? Depart
ment in its management of the Alas
ka mail service, has shown the cras
sest ignorance and indifference and
the grossest inefficiency. It is pur
blind and suffering from neurasthen
ia and other ancient and modern ills.
It is a tory of the tories. In its in
efficiency it is as unchangeable as
the laws of the Medea and Persians.
Progress it knows not. It is a one
hoes political shay that, unlike the
good, old wagon, won't break down
? completely. It needs rebuilding.
And yet the Postoffice Department
should bo the logical director of tele
graphs, if it were competently man
aged. Like departments of Euro
pean countries direct their telegraph
systems. But in America politics
and lack of progressivene6s, have
been permitted to impair the effi
ciency of the Postoffice Department.
And this is the sole, but sufficient,
reason why the >Var Department
should continue to control and direct
telegraphs, until such time

TOO MUCH FATHER.
In the Whltehorse school during i
the recent examinations, a nine-year
old boy was requested to parse "He"'
in the assembly of words, "Father
is ill. He suffers." The result sub- 1
mitt t'J to the teacher was this:
" 'He* Is used instead of 'father.' It
is a pronoun. We use 'He' because
we would be tired of always hearing
Father." " It is not known what
mark the boy obtained but he de- ;
served 100. ? WhiteUorso Star.

Here is convincing proof that this
is so:
Mrs. H. M. Thomas. 1402 34th St.,
OtJfland, Cal, says:
* The merit of Doan'a Kidney Fills
has been tnoroughiy proven to me
and consequently I have no hesita
t'oc in recommending them. About
two years ago 1 suffered from pains
la my back and I believe the trouble
was caused by excessive running of !
the sewing machine. As Doan's Kid- j
ney Pills have been used by a mem
ber of our family with the best of
rt'Milts, 1 was advised to try them.
Mi ch to my gratification they proved
to be just what I required, driving
a way my aches and pains and improv
lag my health. 1 have kept a supply
in the house since then, knowin*;
Uw? they cai be relied upon to give ,
rriief from kidney disorders."
