Hoalth is Worth Saving and Somo Alnska Ps opIo Know How to Save It.

Many Alaska people take their lives in their hands by negleCting the kid neys when they know these organs ueed help. Sick kidneys are responsi- hle for vast amount of suffering and III health, but there is DO need to sui fer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pRines due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per maneutly cured by the use of Deans Kidney Pills.

"The Skagway Alaskan which has all along until qaite recently, been an in- ,trument of one string, playing the tune of popular home government for Alaska, is now sounding the gamut of a lay which, though rather monotonous, must be pleasing music to those whom It designates as "Hoggatt and his ang."-Ketchikan Miner.
 Come, come, governor, play fair. You never saw the expression "Hoggatt and his gang" in The Alaskan, That is the language peculiar to the HoggatJ news papers.

'Tn spite of all the work the dis gruntled republicans could do iu this section the regular republican candi- date, as will be seen by reference to the table published herewith, shows that Corson lot l,O62 and wickersham got but 9O5 votes, giving Corson, the regular candidate l57 majority in southeastern Alaska-,INCLUDING THAT PORTION OF THE WEST WARD UP TO VALDEZ"
 Of course this is from the Juneau Record. No other newspaper in Alaska would be guilty of such lame and silly conclusions, nor go so far to the "west- ward" to seek a balm 1t cannot find at home, nor another anywhere which so continually lays itself open to ridicule.
 Southeastern Alaska cannot con- veuisntly be stretched westward of Sitks wlthout-ior those who know their Alaska-yiolatina the geography. Here, then, is the vote of Southeastern Alaska for ,he two candidates Iu con- troversy so far as heard irom:
 For Wickershsm: Skugway, l64; Suburban, l; Gaiues, 45; Juneau, lS4; Douglas, 56; Treadwell, 8; wrangell, 29; Ketchikan, IS; Sitka, 8; Basin. 3l. TOTAL FOR wICKERsHAM. 629.
 For Corsou: Skagwsy, 27; Suburban, 4; Haiuss, 5; Juneau, IF; Douglas, IS; Treadwell, 69; Wraugell, %; Ketchi- kan, T.; Sltka, l5; Basin, 4. TOTAL FOR CORSON, BPS.
 The majority, therefore, for Wicker sham iu Southeastern Alaska "In spite of all the peculiar and unsMory meth ods of the Hoggatt.Corsou combine, " is 3Ol for Wickersham. Juneau, the home Of Governor Hoggatt and the Record, out of a total vote of 3Ol, gave Wickersham majority over Corson of 67. Ketchikau, the seat of the conyen- tlou that nominated CorsOu, out of a total vote of 95, gave Wickersham a majority of 6l.
 Now let's look at the westward. For Wickersham, Valdez. 227; Cordova, l50; Canyon, 2S; Laudlock, T.. TOTAL FOR WICKERSHAM, 422. For Cor son, Valdez, D; CORONA, TOO; Can you, l; Laudlock, none. Toaal for Cor son, 726.
 This, in spite of a practically uusni- nous vote for Wickersham in Valdez, Canyon aud Landlock,-eTery voting place except the Guggenhein rsilrosd camp of Cordoya-gives Corson a ma jarity over Wickersham of 3O4.
 And righ, here The Alaskan will pause to remark that that majority will cost the Guggenheims very rIuch more than the election of Corson would have gained for that corporation.
