TELEGRAPHIC RATES TO ALASKA
No doubt the Federal Government
has done quite u lot for Alaska, if
not quite as much as Canada for the
Yukon. For those favors the people
of Alaska are more or loss truly
thankful, but the paeans of praise
ascending from Alaskan throats to
the most high lobbyists at Washing
ton take at times the semblance of
prayers so unduly emphasized as to
look like the reverse.
One of the really great drawbacks
to life in the North at present Is tin
dearth of press telegraphic news.
The rates are so prohibitive that no
newspaper can afford to pay for more
than a ridiculously meager skeleton
form of dispatches, with the result
that the people up there, when they
obtain the news at all, obtain it iu
a manuer which is very often mis
leading through no fault of the uews
papers.
Everyone knows that the govern
ment has supplied a mail service in
the North which costs the treasury
a considerable amount of money an
nually, but the telegraphic lines are
operated much more cheaply in pro
portion as the United States Signal
Corps men perform the work them
selves, and sometimes it seeuis that
a cheapening of the telegraphic rates
would result in an increase of com
munication by wire and a corre
sponding decrease in the sending of
mail. With the installation of the
wireless the cost of messages ought
to be materially less to the govern
ment, and the government ought
really to see to it that the people of
the Northern territory reap the ad
vantage. There's nothing too good
for the sterling people of Alaska. ?

A TRUE INDICTMENT.
"Mr. President: I have voted to re
duce the duties provided for in every
schedule In the bill where .1 vote has
been taken, as 1 shall vote against
the whok> bill when it conies up tor
Its final passage. I shall vote
against it because it is unjust and
full of inequalities; because it does
not guarantee equal and exact justice
to the whole people of this country,
but it is, in my opinion, framed in
the special interests of the privi
leged few, while the great mass of
the consumers of the country will
continue to groan under its heavy
burdens of increased taxation. I be
lieve it to be one of the most in
iquitous tariff bills ever passed by
Congress, as pass it will." i Extract
from speech of Senator Lee S. Over
man of North Carolina made on the
tariff bill in the U. S. Senate on
June 16.)
In absolute, open defiance to the
promise made before election, the
Republican leaders In the Senate hav
passed the Payne tariff bill, with an
average increase of about per cent
over the duties of the Dlngley bill.
And this after downward reduction
was promised! What will Taft do.
As a natural summer resort Skag
way cannot be excelled by any place
In the United States. But Its beaut
ies should be advertised.
Trust not in oppression, and be
come not vain in robbery: if riches
Increase, set not your heart upon
them. ? Psalma. Chapter 62 ? 10.
Skagway is a poor place in which
to be quietly married ? at least Mr.
and Mrs. Slystcr must think so.
Home rule for Alaska.

WANDERLUST.
Tho place ho lived in never suited;
he hankered to be gone; and so he
packed hU grip and scooted, a little
farther on, farther on. Awhile he
paused In our calm valley, where all
the virtm s bloom, but left it for a
frowsy alley, and seventh-story room.
And when of city life lie wearied, he
north war! turned his toes, and hired
an Eskimo. and Pearyed among the
Arctic snows. And when of toes
about a dozen were icy, stiff and
stark, he left those regions, white
and frozen, for Jungles hot and dark.
His youthful friends grew fat and
wealthy, with children at their knees,
and made their homes in climates
healthy, but he'd have none of these.
Some other place was always better
than that where he abode, and so,
on snowshoes or in sweater, again
he hit the road. And when this wan
derer was dying, one cold and dreary
dawn, "I'll have some fun." they
heard him sighing, "a little farther
on!" ? Walt Mason.

DON'T FAIL TO SEE CdSILE KERN
Have you seen the castle? The
wonders of Alaska are demonstrated
every day by tourists who make the
climb to Castle Kern and from an
elevation of 1,2">0 feet above sea level
Skagwav, the Lynn canal and the I
beautiful Skagwav valley can be
seen. Since July more than one
hundred people have visited Castle
Kern. Charles A. Taylor, the well
known playwright, who has visited
every part of the continent, was so
impressed by the beautiful scene that
he wrote a poem while sitting or. the
veranda. The climb to the Castle
can be made in 40 minutes and the
trail leads through a forest of pri-1
uiea.val pines. All are welcome.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood In tho body pauses
through the kidneys oneo every Hire
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work uigt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter dally, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ttr is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
paiu in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
tearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 6G9 Tesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasuro to confirm the statement 1
gave for publication some years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent. I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, 1 was unable to find relief.
1 had the most severe pains across
tho small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills helped me at onco and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on
many occasions."
