WILL FIGHT BIG OIL OCTOPUS.
independents Prepare to Invade
North Dakota,

The threatened invasion of this ter.
ritory by the independent oil compa-
MES is causing much discussion. The
unpopularity Of the Rockefeller out
put and the reduced rates granted by
the railroads on shipments in less
than carload lots is thought to make
this field a desirable one for the men
anxious to- buck the big octopus. Rep
resentatives of three Independent con-
Germs have been here and one is said
to have secured a site and sidetrack
privileges from the Great Northern.

When VIII Alaska People Learn the
 Importance of It?

Backache is ouly simple thing at first:
 But when you know 'tis from the kidneys;
 That serious kidney troubles follow;
 That diabetes, Bright's disease may be the fatal end.1
 You will gladly profit by the follow ing experience.
 William Bumgardner, retired, Of 424 Water St., Salem, Ore, says: "l speak from personal experience when l say that Dosn's Kidney Pills do all that is claimed for them in curing kidney com plaint and backache. I had felt the need of such remedy for good long while but did not know just what 1 should use. l have found that many medicines are worthless and that even physicians prescriptions do not always prove effective. When I read of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, l was induced to procure supply. The backache and irregular condition of the kidneys hich had annoyed me, quickly gave way on beginning to use your remedy and | was restored to a condition of ease and comfort. I can recommend Doans Kidney Pills to anyone in need of such a medicine"

THEY KICK
Skagway Objects to Main taining Indigent Indians

The question as 10 whether or not the municipality is responsible for the care of sick and indigent Indians who wander into Sksgway from there tribal habitatiOnS, is one that the city council proposes to probe. The matter came up lest night, and was introduced by the fact that Walter Hill, au Indian, is iu the railroad hospital, suffering from consumption. While the city has not acknowledged responsibility in the case. it is understood that the sick Indian is regarded as a charge against the municipality. Mayor Shaw stated that he thought the city should appeal to Gov. Hoggatt, who has been deSig- hated sS suDeriuteudent of Indian af- fairs, to ascertain the exact status of matters. He believed the federal gov ernment and not the city was reSpon- sible iu the premises. The clerk vas directed by the council to lay the matter before the governor.
 Ia the course of the discuss on over this matter it was pointed out that the city could very easily become bankrupt if it elected to care for all the con- sumptiveS among the Chilkat Indians, Dr. Norman, it was stated, had inform ed the council that be is beSieged daily by llindigent Indians seeking med ical attention.
 Mir. McGrath called attention 10 the facf that there is danger of lifting the loJgates in this matter of caring for the indigent. He said only short time ago the city admitted responsibility Only when there was danger from smallpox or some other contagious d's- eases. Now, the city has some one on its hands nearly all the time.

Hon. Thomas Gale is Coming

Hon. Thomas Gale, Alaska's repre- sentative in the 60th conS ress, will prob ably be in Skagway in few days. He is expected to arrive before the close of navigation. Late Fairbanks papers, which arrived Saturday, gay that the cases testing his title to mining proper " will probably be advanced on the calendar so they could be tried in time for him to avo:d the hard mush over the Valdez trail. Mir, Gale will spend the winter at Washington working with Hon. Frank H. Waskey, the rep resentative of this district in the 59th congress.
 Concerning Mir. Gales intentions for the winter, the Fairbanks Miner says:
 Before proceeding to Washington, he, GMr. Calel. will pay short visit to his home in Wisconsin, arriving st the national capital In plenty of time to get acquainted with his fellow legislators ana get onto the ropes before taking his seat as delegate from Alaska.
 "Mr. WasSey and Mir. Gale will work in harmony during the short term, and while the former will not have any grea length of time in which to serve, he will have some influence as the first representative to the national houses of legislation which MT. Gale will find valuable when he ra<,s up the lsbors of his predecessor. He is now swaiting message from MT. Waskey as to his plaps, and will base his own largely on the desires of the gentleman from Nome.n

Calender Show Case.

The First National Bank, Saturday,
installed a very interesting feature,
which will no doubt be much appre-
ciated by the public.
1t is a calendar show case and a
Rempe self-winding clock combined,
and is installed outside tine bank build
ing. The show case, which is illumi-
mated by fourteen electric lights, is
about seven feet high by three wide
and in an upright position is fastened
against the exterior wall between the
bank door and the corner of the build
ing.
Here in letters large enough to be
read across the street will be exposed
the name of the month, day and date
along with other information. Over
all is the clock the face of which is
some twelve inches in diameter, an
opal glass dial, semi-transparent, so
that by the aid of the electric light
bulbs behind it the time will always
be discernible, night or day.
The show case was installed by the
Diamond Glass Company, of Cleve-
land. The clock feature is an idea of
the bankers and was specially devised
and installed by Cleaver Wagner, of
the Clock Works.

STATE WINS
WATER GAP SUIT

STROUDSBURG, Jan. 9.-The

destroyed at the Delaware Water Gap,
and the hotel men at the resort are
happy and jubilent over the victory.
Judge Staples handed down his op-
inion in the action brought by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ag-
ainst the d. l.. & w. Railroad Com
pany to cause the latter to remove the
stone crusher at the Gap.
The court orders continuance of
the injunction. This means that the
crusher must go, but the case will be
appealed. TAe-fght against the huge
stone crusher, which was built by the
Lackawanna Railroad at a cost of
$1cO, 600 to crush stone to ballast the
road, has been stubbornly fought by

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
ASSOCIATION

County Superintendent @. W. Derr
was in Danville yesterday. He had a
conference with Borough Superintend-
ent U. L. Gordy and the date of Jan.
uary Both was decided upon as the
time for the annual meeting Of the
School Directors Association Of Mon
tour county. The session will be held
in Danville, although the two Super
intendents yesterday were unable to
state in what building the directors
will meet. At present Messrs. Derr
and Gordy have their eye on the Court
House and the matter will be laid be-
fore the County Commissioners at the
earliest opportunity.
The School Directors Association
takes in all the directors of the ooun-
ty, who under the present law will re-
ceive two dollars for their attendance
at the meeting and mileage at the rate
of cents per mile.
The attendance will no doubt be all
that could be desired and nothing will
be left undone by the two Superin-
tendents that would contribute to the
success and Importance of the meeting.
They are trying very hard to secure
the attendance of State Superintendent
of Public Instruction N. @. Sohaeffer.
The program for the meeting will not
be announced until the State Superin-
tendent is heard from finally as to
whether he can be present or not.
All the details relative to the meet
ing will probably be arranged yet dur
ing the present week and the program
will be announced.

r. F. d. Suggestions.

The carrier on one of the Danville
Rural Free Delivery routes has COM
piled the following set of suggestions
to the patrons of the delivery, an OBJ
servance of which will not only make
the carriers work easier, but will also
greatly improve the service.
You will do the carrier great
favor if you stamp your letters before
putting same in box or better yet by
using government stamped envelopes
with your name written upon upper
left hand corner this will guarantee
delivery or return of the letter.
In case you should not happen to
have either stamps or stamped en-
velopes wrap the necessary amount up
in paper and fasten to letter in some
good manner remembering that in cold
weather if money is put in loose the
carrier has to take off his gloves to
pick up the loose pennies.
In addressing your letters do not
write above the middle of the envelope
because the letter has to be plainly
postmarked and the address may be
partly blurred by being struck with
the post marking stamp.
You will also help the handling
of the mail by always putting the
stamp upon the upper right hand cor
ner.
In your addressing letter to a
visitor or some one who is not patron
of rural route or Postoffice you will
be helping the service by marking on
the envelope in whose care the letter
or package should go.
| If you have visitors who are expect
| ing mail kindly give the carrier their
names by putting slip in box notifying
him of same.
In regards to boxes help your carrier
by having good one and in good
easy place to drive up to and oil the
hinges and lock occasionally, also have
small hole in bottom to drain out
water.
Anything deposited in boxes is count
ed mail matter and is subject to ordi-
nary postage rates. All packages should
be we'll wrapped and securely tied and
valuable letters and packages should
be registered.
Patrons should not ask carrier to
wait while they write or finish a let
ter or postal. Have your mail deposit
ed in box when he reaches your box
and save delay.
Patrons should keep the roads open
in winter and snow shoveled away
from boxes. Mail carriers are not re-
| quired to break roads.
Carriers wish to extend thanks tc
patrons of routes for the kindness ex
tended to them during the holidays.

TWO HUNDRED WILL d
LOSE THEIR LICENSE

POTTSVILLE, Jan. 1O.-It is al
ready certain that the Law and Order
Society will succeed in cutting off
nearly 200 saloons from the list in
Schuylkill County this year. Today,
after hearing the evidence of detec-
tives employed by the society nearly
20 applicants withdrew and their Ii.
censes will be revoked.
Among the revelations Of the day
was one that there are many double
applications for saloon license, where
the proprietors have been convicted of
selling on Sunday. In this way it is
hoped to prevent the courts revoking
the license. 1t was also shown that
some saloonkeepers make it business
to get licenses for = new stand and
then sail out.
