ANOTHER CASE!
Time-tested by a Resident of This
Locality.
Just another report of sickness
and suffering relieved by Doal’s Pills,
Another interesting case that tells ol
last benefit. What can be more
convincing? Thousands recommend
Doan’s for backache, rheumatic pains
headaches, dizziness and distressing
urinary disorders. Doan’s are a stint
ulant diuretic to the kidneys. They
have helped thousands. Are recom
mended by many in this locality.
Mrs. J. R. Thompson, 308 W. Vic
toria St., Santa Barbara, Calif., says:
“I had a continual dull aching
bothered me worse when I was abom
doing my housework. I was troubled
with a tired, languid feeling anc
never seemed to get enough sleep
My feet swelled also. Doan’s Pills
cured me completely.”
THREE YEARS LATER Mrs
Thompson said: “I have had no re
turn of kidney trouble since Doan’!
cured me.”

ARE MAKING FOURTH TRIP
Depart for the Interior, Returning
To Coast Over the Richardson
Highway—Say They Will Be Back
In Alaska Next Year.
The pleasant task of interviewing
the most charming of Alaskan boost
ers, Mr. and Mrs. Alois L. Gardner,
of Los Angeles, was the happy op
ponunity presented to the Seward
Gateway representative a few days
ago, prior to the departure for the
Interior, of the California travelers,
who will return to the coast from
Fairbanks via the Richardson High
way. When asked what they thot
about Seward, Mr. Gardner said, “I
must say that * the people of Sew
ard are fine and they certainly
treated us as though they were
glad we visited them and the hearty
welcome received will ever be re
membred. My sincere wish is that
many of our people of the States
would avail themselves to make the
trip to your Alaska. I know they
would re-visit you again and again.
Mrs. Gardner and myself both trust
Alaska will be shortly served with
an air mail service from the States,
and that a wave of prosperity will
sweep over your wonderful commu
nity.”
Last Year's Trip.
In detail, the following conversa
tion with the prominent Californians,
is related: “One often hears the ex
pression, ‘will wonders never cease”
—this term may well be applied to
an Alaskan trip and well may I say
so, as having made the Southeast
ern Alaskan trip in June, last year,
accompanied by my wife. On this
trip we went to Whitehorse and
Lake Atlin and enjoyed to the full
est extent the pleasures of seeing the
wonderful scenery of nature’s grand
gifts to us all. The trip was fur
ther made pleasant, by the excellent
treatment of the officers and crews
of the Admiral line vessels, all of
whom went out of their way to
make our trip interesting, comfort
able and pleasant.
Planned Trip Last Fall.
Upon returning borne from the Al
askan trip last summer, we later, in
the fall, began planning our 1&25
trip to Alaska. We were consider
ing our annual vacation to three
months and by unanimous agree
ment, between us, we decided to
tour Southwestern Alaska this year.
So arrangements were made with
the Pacific Steamship company at
Los Angeles; the itinerary included,
from Los Angeles to Seattle, thence
to Kodiak, Chignik, and return to
Seward. The splendid trip on the
Admiral Evans was enjoyed im
mensely by us. To our great sur
prise we discovered many of our
old friends among the officers and
crew of the Admiral Evans. These
included Pilot Kilseth, formerly on
the Admiral Rogers; Mr. Blaine, ef
ficient purser, formerly on the S.S.
Queen, and two of the porters who
were on the Rogers, previously.
These, with the stewardess, Mrs.
Blair, and other members of tbe
crew staff, made more or less of a
happy family re-union.
“After our departure from Juneau
we steamed smoothly along amid,
littei'ally hundreds of islands on one
side, and on the other passing tow
ering, snow-capped mountains and
ranges. Each inlet, bay or rocky
prominence, seemed to excel in gran
deur, those already passed. The
, glaciers were awe-inspiring in their
massive beauty. Our maps showed
that on the trip, between Seward and
. Kodiak, we passed some 52 glaciers
i I wonder how many Alaskans real
ize the value of their gorgeous seen
. ery and what a truly big asset this
- is. Of course many of these gla
s ciers can not be seen from the ves
sels passing. We were enrapturec
i with the Columbia glacier,in whicl
waters we steamed thru thousand;
of ice bergs, large and small. Tin
5 Captain, Mr. Graham, ran his ves
. sel up to within a distance of abou
one and one-half milgs of the Co
lumbia glacier, which is 400 feet in
height and 600 feet deep.
Whistle Breaks Glacier.
“Cruising within this radius of the
tremendous glacier. Captain Graham
added to the thrill by blowing the
steamer’s whistle, which echoes, or
the concussion, seemed to shatter
certain portions of the glacial face,
causing large slides of bergs to break
away, to fall with terrific booming,
into the water. Our view' was abso
lutely perfect and the weather could
not have been more ideal. We went
further West than usual, and had
the added pleasure of running into
two storms. However, for some o!
the roundtrippers aboard, the storms
were not exactly a pleasure, to tell
the low down truth about it, but
Mrs. Gardner and myself really en
joyed it for a chang.”
While on the steamer, Mr. Gard
ner was initiated into the “Squaw
man’s Union,’’ being the proud hol
der of membership card No. 150.
As a souvenir, he gets an awful
“kick” every time he looks at the
card. He said he was certain that
upon his return to Los Angeles, and
upon showing his membership card
to many of his friends, that the
Order will receive many applications
for membership. Seward has a sub
ordinate lodge, No. 2, in which mem
bers are being initiated daily. The
; grand lodge of the Order meets year
ly at Champaign Landing,about 30
miles down the Yukon river from
Whitehorse, and like the Arctic
Brotherhood, has “no boundry line.”
