CERTAIN RESULTS
Many a Portland Citiz sn Knows How
 Sure They Are

Nothing uncertain about the work Of Doan's Kidney Pills. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testi- mony. Such evidence should convince the most skeptical doubter. Read the following statement:
 D. D. Coffey, whose place of resi- dence is at 4SS East Thirteenth street, Portland, Oregon, says: ''I have been a great sufferer from carbuncleS or tumOrs for years. Every once in a while they appeared, not only one at time, but broke out in different places, mostly on my arms or about my neck, Three years ago l suffered from num- Der of them which broke out almost at the same time. l was treated by a physician and he stated that 1 would never get entirely rid of them unless ] had them lanced and the core taken out. He operated On them and l was not bothered with any more until last fall, when one made its appearance. l came to the conclusion that my blood was out of order, and that the kidneys were not performing their functions right. and got box of Doan's Kidney Pills, taking them as directed, and they did all that was claimed for them On previous occasions when one appeared it was followed by others, but DOan's Kidney Pills checked them. About two weeks ago one broke out on my arm and I again resorted to Doan's Kidney Pills, and they prevented others from appearing I can cheerfully recom- mend Doan's Kidney Pills, for l also know others who have used them with very satisfactory results"

The Whitehorse excursion which will take place one week from tomor- row is worthy of patronage for many reasons. It will be an inexpensive out ing, taking with it an opportunity to witness an excellent program of ath- letic and field sports. It will also en- courage the further development of the good feeling between the two White Pass cities that already exists in a marked degree, and which is a neces- sary element in promoting the develop ment of the northern country.

CONSULT THE LAW

If anyone has any doubt about the truth of the assertion frequently made by the Daily Alaskan that it is the rule in territories for the federal govern meut to bear the expense of the salar- ies of the judges of the district court, the salaries of the governor and secre- tary, the per diem, mileage and incl dental expenses of the legislature, all that will be necessary for the doubter to do in order to dispel his misgivings is to consult the federal statutes at large, which may be found in any lawyers office. There is no lawyer but who will admit the facts to be as has been said by the Daily Alaskan be- cause they are plainly set forth in the laws of congress.
 Some of the territories have had an extra session or so of the legislature for which they have had to pay, but those have been because of unusual conditions or because of wantOn extrav- agance. Washington territory was or ganized in 1853, and became a stale in 1889. In the 36 years that elapsed while it was operating under territor- ial government there were two extra sessions of the legislature. One Of these was to provide ways and means Co eQulpa militia during the two years Indian war, that came near exterminat' ing the white settlements on Puget sound, and the other was after the ter ritory had acquired a population ez' ceeding a quarter of million souls and when the business had become so great that a 4O-days' session was found to be too short time for the legislature to complete it's work in. The one extra session was at time of extreme peril and the other after the territory hat become amply able to bear the expense Most of the legislatures in Washington territory turned back into the fedora treasury an unexpended balance of the appropriation made by congress for leg isla.ive expenses. In 1879 this unex pended balance exceeded s+OOO.
 The Daily Alaskan believes that tho administrations of Alaskan municipali ties and the commercial development of the district have disclosed the Peo pie of Alaska tJ possess a high order O intelligence, integrity and business ca pacity. It believes in Alaska's presen and it's future, and it has confidence il the patriotism, public spirit and hon esty of it's people. It protests that t' aSser tthat they should be denied self-go' ernment because some people residing in some other locality at sometime 1T their history displayed an incapacity o were criminally extravagant is as libel ous on the fair name of Alaska as it i childish and absurd.

The Nome News says "the democrats have carried New York city in presi- dential elections by l6O,OOO, and then they failed to carry the state"
 It is not quite so bad as that. A democratic majority of 5000 below Harlem always meant a democratic viz tory in the state until recent years. In 1902 the democratic majority below the Harlem exceeded l3O,OOO for the first time in history, and the state was lost.

most distinguished workers In the

years prominently identified with The

IY. M. G. A. along those lines He
showed how the young man Ii the
principal asset OF any community as
la wealth producing factor, as i socill
factor and as a political factor. lie
assumed that there were III this com
munity a thousand young men be-
tween the ages Of is and 35 whose
earning power conservatiyely esti.
mated was 5000 year. or d total OF
100000 year, which is equivalent
to interest ut per cent on an invest.
ment Of $l0.000,0OO This far ex-
cceds any other asset of the comrnu
Iity. He said the business men, even
from the low standpoint OF .enlight
ened selfishness,' were bound to
place around these young men. so
ia as possible, such Influences as
would protect and enhance the value
Of this Investment. lie laid down and
elaborated three propositions that
the business interests OF any com
munity owe TO its young men the
debt OF appreciation. OF investigation
and Of protection. He gave the result
OF Investigations which had been car
ried out by himself and others over
the entire country, which left no
room for doubt that protection Ia
needed for the young men against
the conditions which exist today. He
said he had In recent address made
the statement that In the late war
with Spain, Of Tine young men who
had offered themselves for enlistment
| III the volunteer army, 80 per cent
were rejected because OF physical
disability. Ills statement had been
called into question, and In order to
be perfectly sure he had taken the
matter up with the department Of
war. As a result he had recently 70.
ceiyed letter from the department
stating that IN the war with Spain
of the young men who offered them
selves In defense OF their country In
the volunteer army, 80 and 40 per
cent were rejected for physical disa.
lbility, as against 13 per cent IN 1860;
and Of those who offered themselves
for enlistment IN the regular army,
so per cent were rejected. This ap'
lpalllng physical degeneracy was due,
1.-THE statistics showed. TO the too well.
known vices common among young
linen. Such facts as these, which
were only referred to In the limited
time at his disposal, Mr., Bierce said,
demanded the thoughtful consldera'
j tlon OF every intelligent man who
loved his country and appreciated
that her destinies depended upon her
young men. He emphasized the fact
that the Influences which tend to tear
|down and degrade the young manhood
|of the community are met with Il
svery turn. in thHr most attractive

In hearing from various ones. come

thing to do was to move forward as
rapidly as possible until q well equip

the attractive institutions of this city.
II is worthy Of comment that there
was q universal expression Of admi-
ration for the forcible remarks Of Mr..
Bierce and the work Of which he is

and most important result Of the

An interesting sequel 10 the gath

hour a small group Of men, which

street in front Of tho postofiice. AS

II became evident that something was

guessed the subject Of the animated
conversation. They we're pledging
themselves to personally guarantee
the support OF Y. M. c. A. TO the
extent Of $500 year each. They were
men not actively connected with the
