DR.. M'CANH HAS TROUBLE
No Lead Pipe Cinch on Gold
Dust in Alaska.
A PAY DAY FORGOTTEN
In Addition to Frozen Woes the Doctor
Has Had No Opportunity to
Practice His Profession as
He Expected.

Great Falls, Sept. 15.-Dr. D. B. Nc
Cam, who left this city over year ago
to respond to the call of his country and
become the register of the land office at
Circle City, Alaska, has troubles of his
own. 1t is not remarkable, for the doc
tor always did have troubles, and his
assignment to an important post in a
country with no votes before a presi-
Dental election was not the least of
these. He went there with the belief
that before another year went around
he would be rolling in wealth and that
every pot of gold which left the Ameri-
can Alaska would be mortgaged to
him.
He writes to a friend in this city that
this is so far from being the truth he
not only has no lead pipe cinch on any
gold dust, but that Uncle Sam has evil
IDENTIFY forgotten to bring pay day to
that northern cline. Doc Mccain
without a pay day is an anomaly and
for the good name of the present ad-
ministration it is to be sincerely hoped
that the proper vouchers will arrive al
once in Circle City. Then the doctor
has other troubles.
He expected when he left Montana
that he would be able to practice his
pIOleSSiOH ull ms stay, as IL Seefleu
probable that the duties of his office
would not keep him busy all the time
He writes that there has been no de-
mand for his services at all and that
those who are living in and around Cir
Gle City are in excellent health. II
is 65 miles to the mining region nearest
Circle City. The doctor writes it is the
poorest in the world it costs 50 cents a
pound to freight anything in there and
because of the enormous cost of trans
portation and materials of all kinds
there is no money left for the miner
DR.. Mccain did not express himself
as to his future intentions, but it is be-
lieved from the tone of his letter that
he will remain until he receives a check
for his salary from Uncle Sam and that
he will endeavor to organize the office
and get it in working order during the
coming wear

showing such right and would be liuui-
