HEBER SMITH OF
VALDEZ, PIONEER
ON LAST TRAIL
Heber Smith, one of the pioneers of
Valdez, passed away at his home on
Broadway at 8 o’clock Thursday eve
ning, May 21, after an illness of sev
eral months. Mr. Smith was born in
New York state about 70 years ago
and for a number of years was a resi
dent of New Yrork City. In 1898 he
joined the rush to Alaska and landed
at Valdez in the spring of that year
and has since made his home here
with the exception of about a year
spent in the States about four years
ago.
He took part in the rush to the
Chistochena and was interested in a
claim in that district from which he
took considerable gold and later en
gaged in prospecting in other sec
tions.
During his long residence here Mr.
Smith gained a large circle of close
friends, who will sincerely mourn his
loss. He is survived by his wife, who
resides in Baltimore, Md.—Valdez

HUSKY ENJOYS CITY THRILLS
The following bit was printed in
the Seattle P.-I., and exemplifies the
dangers in the large cities of coun
try girls:
On the lonely snow-covered trails
of Alaska, Kate, a dog of Malamute
and wolf breed, heard her master’s
whistle of command on many a bleak
day and night and knew it -well. Yes
terday, lost in a strange city, she rec
ognized her master’s whistle above
the roar of traffic and joined him
joyously.
A prominent canine citizen of Mc
Carthy, Alaska, Kate has been hav
ing a series of thrilling experiences
since arriving in Seattle with her
master, Lou Manchini.
The climax came sometime Thurs
day night when someone released her
chain in a yard at 171 Ninth Avenue
where she was quartered and led her
away.
Her frantic owner at once inform
ed the police and himself took up
the search. Returning discouraged
after failing to find her, Manchini,
when three blocks from his home,
whistled the call of the trail the
call to summon the huskies of the
North to their sledges. Almost in
stantly Kate bounded over a high
fence, dragging a broken chain be
hind her.

Fursman of Cordova
Takes Fishery Job
W. L. Fursman. druggist of Cordova

OH! MY BACK!
It isn’t right to suffer day in and
day out with dull, unceasing back
ache. Or be utterly miserable with
sharp stabs of pain whenever you
stoop or lift. But chances are you
will suffer these tormenting aches
and pains as long as your weakened
kidneys are neglected. You may
have headaches, too, spells of diz
ziness and urinary disorders. Then
use Doan’s Pills—a stimulent diuretic
to the kidneys. Experiences of folks
in this locality prove the merit of
Doan’s.
Mrs. J. J. Robinson, 730 Exchange
St., Astoria, Ore., says: “My kid
neys were out of order and I had a
sort of dull aching across my back
and felt dull and languid. Headaches
were frequent and I had no energy, j
My kidneys acted irregularly, too.
I read of Doan’s Pills and used them
as directed. Doan’s soon relieved
the backache and other signs of kid
ney trouble.”
