DON'T FAIL TO SEE CASTLE KERN

Have you seen the castle? The wonders of Alaska are demonstrated every day by tourists who make the climb to Castle Kern and from an elevation of 1.25O feet above sea level Skagway, the Lynn canal and the beautiful Skagway valley can be seen. Since July 3 more than one hundred people have visited Castle Kern. Charles A. Taylor, the well known playwright, who has visited every part of the continent, was so impressed by the beautiful scene that he wrote a poem while sitting or the veranda. The climb to the Castle can be made in 40 minutes and the trail leads through forest of pri' meayal pines. All are welcome.

A TRUE INDICTMENT.

MT. President: I have voted to re duce the duties provided for in every schedule in the bill where q vote has been taken. as l shall vote against the whole bill when it comes up for It's final passage. I shall vote against 1t because it is unjust and full of inequalities; because it does not guarantee equal and exact justice to the whole people of this country but 1t is. in my opinion, framed in the special interests of the prtvi legged few, while the great mass oi the consumers of the country will continue to groan under it's heavy burdens of increased taxation. be lleve it to be one of the most in iquitous tariff bills ever passed by Congress, as pass it will" lEXtract from speech of Senator Lee s.

TELEeRAPHIc RATES TO ALASKA

No doubt the Federal Government has done quite a lot for Alaska, if not quite as much as Canada for the Yukon. For these fayors the people of Alaska are more or less truly thankful. but the pacans of praise ascending from Alaskan throatS to the most high lobbyists at Washing, ton take at times the semblancc Of prayers so uuduly emphasized as to look like the reverse.
 One of the really great drawbacks to life in the North at present is the dearth of press telegraphic news. The rates are so prohibitive that no newspaper can afford to pay for more than a ridiculouSly meager skeleton form of dispatches, with the result that the people up there, when they obtain the news at all, obtain it iD & manner which is very often mis' leading through no fault of the news papers.
 Everyone knows that the govern ment has supplied mail service in the North which costs the treasury a considerable amount Of money an nually. but the telegraphic lines are operated much more cheaply in pro- portion as the United States Signal Corps men perform the work them selves, and sometimes it seems that \ cheapening of the telegraphic rates would result in an increase Ot com munication by wire and a corre- spending decrease in the sending or mail. With the installation of the wireless the cost of messages ought to be materially less to the govern ment, and the government ought really to see to it that the people of the Northern territory reap the ad- vantage. There's nothing too good for the sterling people of Alaska.- A.-Y..P. Daily News.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits ir the urine, etc. But If you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement gave for publication some years ago in favor of Deans Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from their use has proven permanent. I suffered from an acute attack of kidney trou' tIe and though l used remedy after remedy, l was unable to find relief had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. l am a great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions"

WANDERLUST.

The place he lived in never suited; he hankercd to be gone; and so he packed his grip and scooted, a little farther on, farther on. Awhile he paused in our calm valley, where all the virtues bloom, but left it for q CrowSy alley, and seventh-story room. And when of city life he wearied, he northward turned his toes. and hired an Eskimo. and Pcarycd among the Arctic snows. And when of toes about a dozen were icy, stiff and stark, he left those regions, white and frozen. for jungles hot and dark. His youthful friends grew fat and wealthy. with children at their knees. and made their homes in climates healthy. but he'd have none of these, Some other place was always better than that where he abode, and so, on snowshoes or in sweater, again he hit the road. And when this wan derer was dying, one cold and dreary dawn. I'll have some fun" they heard him signing, "a little farther on," Walt Mason.

Lost: A Barrel Of Sermons.

A Minnesota clergyman has brought
suit against a railroad company
which contains one feature OF decided
interest to laymen as well as to his
brethren OF the cloth. He seeks dam.
ages for the loss OF a barrel full Of ser
mons in transit. The plaintiff recent
ly received a call to a church in an
other part OF the country which, al.
though no larger salary was offered,
he was induced to accept for two rea-
sons: first, he had filled one pulpit
for 20 years and he feared his people
might be getting tired OF him; SEQ
ond, he had preserved all his old SER
mons and would be able TO read them
TO his new congregation, thereby saw
ing much intellectual exertion. So
he agreed to go 10 the other field OF
labor. packed up his goods, including
the precious barrel OF sermons. and
departed. When his freight arrived
at his new home, the sermons were
missing. While no amount OF money
Will wholly compensate him for his
loss, he believes tho railroad should
be made to pay for Its carelessness
