RADICAL CHANGE IN
PAPERS IN 54 YEARS
In 186S the Post, Mail, Herald,
Times, Tribune and Work of New j
York were all hand set, four-page pa
pers, probably one-tenth the paper of j
the present day. It. cost the Democrats
$6500 to get the Democratic conven
tion that year, which compared to its
cost now was a mere trifle. Horatio j
Seymour was nominated for the pres
idency on the 22nd ballot, and was
badly defeated in the November elec
tions by U. S. Grant. Of the dele- j
gates present at the convention, 472,
wore full beards, and but 39 clean- !
shaven men were in the hall. Tlieo-!
dore Roosevelt was a child then, and
attended the convention with his par- j
ents.
The New York papers played up the
convention in great shape, some of i
them going in to six pages to cover
the news. Some of the delegates i
drove to the convention in ox wag- j
ons.
JUNEAU TAXICAB OPERATOR
DIES OF HEART TROUBLE
JUNEAU, Alaska, Feb. — M. P.
Sylvia, better known as “Blaekie,”
j owner and operator of “Blackie’s” taxi
service, died the other night in his
: room over the Arctic pool room death
1 occurring shortly after 11 p. m. Death
resulted from heart failure caused by
uraemic poisoning, according to Dr.
! H. Vance, who had been treating him
I for some time for chonic kidney trou
ble.
The end came suddenly the heart
•attack apparently coming while he
j was asleep. About noon the day be
fore, he had experienced a slight at
| tack of heart trouble which, however,
j soon passed away. Dr. Vance was
: called at that time but the trouble
I had disappeared when he arrived. La
i ter in the afternoon “Blaekie” had his
I taxi out and made at least one trip
j to the Victoria then in port. Later he
went to his room, but was out on the
street early in the evening. He visit
i ed Dr. Vance’s office at 7:30 p. m.
! and said then he was feeling fine. A
| bout 9 p. rn. he is said to have told
friends he was not feeling so good
i and was going to retire lor the night,
leaving word with George Henry night
manager at the Arctic where he made
his headquarters, that he would not
j answer any more calls that night.
A New Back for an Old One. How
It Can be Done in Seward.
The back aches at times with a dull,
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of ’he kidneys,
and again the loins are sc lame that
to stoop is agony. No use to rub or
apply a plaster to the back if the kid
neys are weak. You ean.iot reach the
cause. Scwaid residents would do
well to profit by the following sam
ple.
Mrs. Ellen Williksou 338 1.1th St.,
Astoria, Ore., says: “i was subject
to attacks of backache and if 1 over
worked my kidneys troubled me. I
felt tired out and had no energy and
dizzy spells and headaches were fre
quent. I knew my kidneys were the
cause of the trouble so I used Doan’s
Pills and they proved to be just what
I needed. I was soon relieved of the
backaches and my energy was restor
ed. I felt better in every way and my
kidneys acted naturally and regular
ly.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Wil
likson had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,

S. F. SHIPS ON ALASKA RUN
Says the San Francisco Chronicle: I
Inauguration of a steamship service
between San Francisco and other Pa
cific coast ports to Alaska for the pur
pose of developing the resources of •
the northern territory, is; in prospect!
it was announced yesterday by J. C.
Ogden, manager of the Alaska-Siber- '<
ian Navigation company. Present
plans are to put three freighters in
this tradeout of San Francisco to Se
ward. The latter port is the terminal
of the Seward-Fairbanks railroad. Coal
will be the cargo from Alaska to this
city and the vessels will return north
with various commodities from this
state.
Ogden said yesterday that negotia-1
tions are now under way between this
compain. the shipping board. Colonel
Lee H. Landis general manager of
the Seward-Fairbanks railroad; U. S.
Marshal G. B. Stevens of Fairbanks,
and Robert S. Donaldson, general
manager ol the Ileal y River Coal cor
poration.
Coal Bunkers at Seward
As outlined by Ogden, the interests
involved in the venture hope to have
coal bunkers constructed lor the re
ceipt and shipment of coal at Seward,
and will seek the granting of prefer
ential rates on the transportation of
the coal to Sewurc fro n the mine and
the establishment and maintenance of
a price such that the combined rail
road and steamship charge, when add
ed, will make possible favorable com -
petition, even against cheaper coal
from Australia.
Seeks Market Here
Ogden said it was hoped to secure
support of San Francisco and Calif
ornia business interests to provide a
market for the Alaska coal on a scale
! to permit a fleet of vessels to operate
j throughout the year. He added that
, the inerests may eventually include
: Portland, Or., and Los Angeles as
! ports of call for the new service, as
; well as to Hawaii.
The steamer Buford was dispatched
; from here last year with pasengers
j and freight to Seward and Nome by
j the Alaska-Siberian Navigation com
: pany. This vessel is now being placed
in service for a cruise to the South
Seas on February 9.
