srIbutor Day, taking Into consideration drss that he is more than seventy millions wide of the mark in his state- meut of the amount paid by the gov ernment for Alaska-that very few instances of wheat maturing in south eastern Alaska have ever been known aud none at all directly on the coast,
 and that Alaska has an agriculture experiment. station Of its own, with a competent and experienced official in charge, and who may be depended upon to fully report all investigations respecting the agricultural possibilities Of the territory, it may be definitely concluded whether or not it has been made a victim for the free advertising oI a scheme little less reprehensjble than that Of a gold mining fake intend ed to separate the farmer of the States from some Of ther hard earned dollars.

IS T A FAKE?

Ia the current number of the Satur- day Evening Post there appears, under the caption of ' A Miracle in Wheat, an illustrated article credited to Oscar G. Day, which is calculated to make the Alaskan readers Of tbas widely cir culated publication open their eyes wide with surprise and astOuishmeut for though it IS commonly said that photographs cannot lie, they cannot but conclude that the camera iu this case of the Post illustrations must have been focused upon objects other than those found iu or having their or.giu iu Alaska. This same article, purpOrt- ing to be by the same author, was sub mltted to the Ketchtkau Miner for pub. lication several weeks ago, and was, says that paper, consigned to the waste basket for the reason that the editor was unable to make up his mind whether the story, as related, was most remarkable for the very evident ignorance of the writer, or his men dacity. The story iu brief, begins with the statement tha, "wHea the United States paid eighty millions for the territory of Alaska, it was to the fur the purchaser looked for a return on the investment, and that 1t was not, until 1903 that Abraham Adams, an "aged farmer" came Co this country In search for gold and no. finding i, turned his attention t0 Investigating the possibilities for farming and graz. ing and preparing himself for a report to the farmers of hss community. As the story goes, he drited along the coast Of eastern Alaska for many miles, when one day be chauced upon 30 little patch of wheat growing in nook, sheltered i,om the winds, which was just ripeutug, and in which be found a single head which was almost intact and four inches long, This he care  fully packed away and took with him to his home iu Jul,et.e, Idaho, where he planted 1t ga the fall O. ig)i, and from which be grew sevel pounds ot the finest looking wheA, mortal had ever seen" These seven pounds he planted iu the spr.ag of 1906 and from them harvested I,545 pounds equivalent to more than 222 bushels to the acre. Some oI this wheat be submitted to the state experimental station chemist who reported that the grain would grade No. 1, and take rank with the rest grade of blue stem wheat Tor Hour. All. summed Mr. Day concludes this newly found Alaska wheat will withstand frost; withstand hail, if %, too heavy; it will grow wheat from fall sowing, it will yield up to 222 bushels to the acre and will grade up to No, l hard.

Those waiting on him in his cabin found a tiny stocking which the sick man eX- plained had been placed in his valise by his Iour-year-old daughter when he left home.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Honlth is Worth Saving and Somo Alaska People Know How to sHvo It..

Many Alaska people take their lives in their hands by negleCting the kid neys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are respousi- hle for vast amount of suffering and ill health,- but there is no need to sut- fer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and psineS due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per maneuHy cured by the use of Deans Kidney Pils.
 ?. Lammeh. l2l North Terry Ave Seattle, Wash, says "lt IS now three years siuce ! gave testimonial rccom- mendiug Doau's Kidney Pills after tho prompt and satisfactory manner in which this remedy had relieved me Of kidney trouble which had affected me o'T and on for a number Of years. Just prior tn usjug DOan's Kidney Pills, my suffering had become more severe, and one day wUs taken suddenly with at JackS of sharp pains through my lOins and bladder. ] sent for doctor who finally used a catheter. This gave me great relief at the time but still I had trouble afterwards with irritation of the bladder and with the disGrdered action of my kidneys. ] began using D0ans Kidney Pills and they acted very promptly and directly on the parts affected, so hat the bladder trouble dis appeared and In other way found great reuIiei. This was several years ago but still am a hearty advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and recommend them to all suf f-rcrs from Kidney trOutle."

to the fact that sessions of the con- vention of the American Federation of Labor are always open and the full proceedings provided to the press and all those desiring them.
 The circular letter from the Cor porations Auxiliary Co forwarded to MT Gompers had been received by A. M. Todd Co of Kalamazoo, Mich, and D. A. Reynolds, president of the Great Eastern Telephone Co of New York and were addressed personal and confidential" In part the circu- lar letter reads:
 "As usual, we expect to have sew eral delegates present and will be in a position to furnish you, as the con- vention proceeds, with compllfe re. port of the entire proceedings in- cluding secret sessions. In view of the fact that the A. F. of L. made de- mands this year upon both the repub- lican and democratic nominating conventions and is actively entering into politics and has put into the field an increased force of secret or ganizers covering almost every branch of trade, this convention will un- doubtedly be the most important ever held by the federation
 In his letter to D. D. Reynolds, M- Gompers says: For the past few years about the first of October the Corporations Auxiliary Co has sent out letter similar in character to the one you sent it. It might not be amiss to call your attention to the fact that the conventions of the American Federation of Labor are always in open session, that facilities are always provided for the press rep resentatives; that number of the large city daily papers have repre- sentatives regularly in attendance at the conventions and that the printed official proceedings of each days ses- sion are given to anyone who may care to have them"

BRONSON REFUSES.
We'll Known Attorney Will Not Meet
 Henderson Committee.

well hHOWH AttorHct VIII Not Hect
 Henderson Committee.
 The proposed meeting between N. R. Bronson, counsel for John Hen- derson, and a committee of the board of aldermen, which was to be held next Tuesday in the office of MT Bronson. has been declared off, owing to the inability of the attorney to keep his engagement. This makes the third effort the committee has made to talk with MT Bronson, but all to no use, so that 1t is not likely that they will get together at all. Tn fact MT Bronson said this after noon that he asked for committee of arbitration and the aldermen ap- pointed a committee to investigate and report back what 1t found. He didn't care to lose time with that sort of a committee because 1t had no power to settle the case. Not withstanding this Mir Bronson said If he could spare the time he would be willing to meet the committee, but he didn't think such meeting If held would amount to anything so far as settling the difference between his client and the city, because he had reason to believe that the com mittee differed from each other very widely regarding the merits of the case.
