If you are troubled with pains,
fainting spells, depression of spirits,
reluctance to go anywhere, headache,

scenery that he ever saw: "In less than
IL miles the little road took us from sea
level right up into snow, ice and clouds.
1t is like getting up out of the Royal Gorge
OF the Grand by climbing up its cliffs, and
1t hangs you up there in a little niche on the
side of a straight up and down cliff in such
a manner that it makes your hair stand on
end. At one spot one can look down 1000
feet on clear drop below. At such
places 1t sets one to wondering If there is
any danger of wheel leaving the rail-"
The road is l05 miles long, and formerly

time Of year. Mr.. Ballou has reached

WASHINGTON, D. C., March ,, 1900. EDITOR DOUGLAS ISLAND NEWS:
 DEAR SIR:-Today mailed to your address the latest and best bill that has vet been adopted and the one that will pass the senate and has also been gen. eraIIy adopted by the house. You can get a pretty good idea from this just about what we will get in the way of legislation as the final law enacted will not be far from this; although it is not at all certain that the capital question will pass. We will have the court at Juneau and I am of the opinion that it will all become a law as you will find in this bill. The delegate matter will come up and an attempt by the house to give us one but it is rather doubtful as to the success of this measure. Ev- erything else is, practically, as outlined by the convention. l leave here for Alaska some time this week.
 In answer to a matter 1 saw in an is- sue of one ofyour papers l want to say; It is true that Gov. Brady and l have been getting along personally, all right, but nevertheless the first assertion made that the Governor was opposing the capital and delegate questions were in every respect true; neither was l la, boring under any mistake or spoke hastily in the matter. Other than this I have made no charges against him and have none to make as we have in general been together on other matters The Governor has since that time some what modified and qualified his views on the delegate question but his first representations to the senate commit, tee, and the one I based the letter on were positive and without qualification as to present legislation on this.
 Iregret to have to speak again on this but I do not want to have the impres, sion go out that l have misstated the question, or thing equally bad, said something did not have full advice on

Don't XIII Them.

It has been said that Englishmen do not think they are having good time unless they are killing something. We fear the descendants in this country inherit that trait. Only few days ago we noticed several dead ravens on the outskirts of the town, that had appar- ently met death at the hands of a sportsman" If such was the case, it must have been a case of sheer wanton- ness. There is no reason why they should be killed but reasons why they should not be. They are comparative Iy harmless and the best of scaVengers. They are a greater factor in keeping the town clean and healthful than most of us realize.
 It may be alleged that they are croak- CTS and therefore disagreeable. Grant ed, but if a war of extermination is de- cIared against that class of beings where will the majority of us appear?
 We suppose those who indulge in the "sport" of shooting ravens and gulls are not aware that they are violating law and therefore subjecting themselves to the liability of being punished in the manner it provides.-Sitka Alaskan.
