This is the most dangerous time
of the year to catch cold, and it Is
the hardest time to cure it. If you
should take cold, a few doses OF
Kenedy's Laxative Cough Syrup
will act very promptly. Its laxa-
tive principle cures the cold by
driving it from the system by gen
tie but natural action of the bowels
Children especially like Kenedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup, as it tastes
so good, nearly like maple sugar. 1t

Automobiles for Alaska

An illustration of how rapidly Alaska is getting up to date with every mod ern improvement is seen in the estab- Iishment of an automobile stage line on the Valdez Fairbanks road, says the P..I This line is to start on August 1, at which time the government road will be in condition for automobile use as far as the summit of the mountains. By August of next year it is promised by Maj Richardson that the road will be in such shape that an automobile will be able to travel the entire distance from the coast to the Tanana.
 This new line is to start with two high-powered machines, and next sum. mer, when the road is completed to the Panama, four more machines will be put on the run. With this auto line in running order, a trip from the coast to Fairbanks can be made in short or. der and the discomforts of the trail will he thing of the past.
 Where the roads can be put in prac- ticable shape the automobile will have fully as large field of usefulness in Alaska as it has developed in the desert regions of Nevada, and very largely for the same reason. Where freight rates are so entirely out of proportion to the first cost of the goods as they are in the interior of Alaska, gasoline costs less than horse feed, in proportion to the power developed. The substitution of autos for stages, wherever roads are put into shape for travel, will follow over a considerable portion of the country, should the new line to Fair banks prove as successful as it prom ises to do.

The Western judge, sitting in cham bers, seeing from the piles of papers in the lawyers hands that the first case was likely to be hotly contested, asked: "What is the amount in question:" "Two dollars" said the plaintiffs coun- sel.' "I'll pay it." said the judge, hand ing over the money; "call the next case" He had not the patience of Sir William Grant, who, after listening for two days to the argument of counsel as. to the construction of a certain act, quietly observed when they had done, "That act has been repealed. ."-Kansas City Star.

Home RuIe for Alaska

As far as the teleRraphic advices go at the present time the territorial gov ernment for Alaska bill introduced ln congress by Delegate James Wicker sham seems to be possessed of no oo- jectionable features. It appears to be certainly mild enough to preclude the probability of strong opposition on the part of capitalists, who are investing money in Alaska, and if it succeeds to that extent it's final success may be re- garded as assured.
 The provision which guards against tax on property exceeding one per cent by the territorial government appears to protect the large interests, while the necessity for gaining the approval of the federal government for all legisla- tion ought surely to satisfy the most conservative. Indeed, the last men. toned clause would suggest that the local government would be not much more than solely deliberative assem- bly,, did the wording of the telegraphic advices not seem to mean that the ac- tion of the territorial legislature would be law failing the positive disapproval of congress.
 The clause which provides that the taxes outside incorporated towns will go to the home government no doubt means that the proceeds from saloon ! licenses, district court fees, etc, will continue to pour into the federal cot- | fers and that the schools will therefore continue to depend for their support directly upon Uncle Sam, as some % per cent of the monies received from saloons is now used for their mainten- ance.
 The dispatch which reached Seattle yesterday and the preceding day do not include any statment as to the powers of such legislature in the mat ter of mining law changes, and until the arrival of such intelligence it would i be almost absurd to enter into dis cussion of the bills merits, for above and beyond all questions relating to Alaska the laws governing mining come 1 first.
 i That radical changes are needed in the mining laws no one could or would deny, and that no one is better quail fled to frame such changes as the Alas i kans goes without saying. Upon the power given to the local legislature in that matter will depend the nature of the road over which the measure must travel. Everyone hopes it will be smooth, for no one believes that country which is populated by the very best of men and women should be com pelled to accept what outsiders are pleased to dole out from time to time and grudgingly.
 It looks like joke, anyhow, if not an Iimpertinent one, to expect the men of the North to keep digging and take with thanks whatever they get from men who are in no way superior.-A.- Y.-P. Daily News.

FRANK 9. aOwE, EditOr and Publish,
TWO SIDES TO 1T

The Newport Express and Standard
makes the following sensible com
ment on the much talked about deer
hunting issue:
This week we publish an article
| from the pen of M. j. Hapgood OF
Peru entitled "To Protect Our Does"
The article in substance is all right
We believe in the protection OF does
and hardly sanction the law that al
lows them to be killed AT the same
time there were good reasons for the
law being passed. 1t is a test law.
Hundreds of does were killed last
season in connection with bucks
which the public knew nothing about.
1t was so in Orleans county and
doubtless was the same throughout
the state Under the present condi-
tions if man shoots doe, he has
complied with the law, will tell OF
his success, and there his hunt will
end. We sometimes think this new
law may lessen the slaughter of deer
instead of adding to it. Time will
tell. AS men will kill them, law or
no law, it is a puzzle to tell just
which course of action is best. One
of the worst enemies OF the deer is
the hound They are } continually
hunting them down, and dozens are
killed, especially does and fawns that
the public knows nothing about.
"As to the posting of grounds, we
cannot agree with Mr.. Hapgood only
in case of cultivated fields. Game and
fish lawful for man to kill or catch
should be, in the lawful season, open
and free to all. Hunting in one wood
and to pass around another would be
a nuisance. Fishing in one branch Of
river to pass around section and
start in again simply to suit some
body's within, is a greater nuisance
We despise preserves held by clubs
for their own selfish use, and guarded
TO keep the common hunter out. They
should not be allowed, but will be as
long as money rules the land These
preserves should not extend beyond
artificial ponds or small sections OF
private woodland well fenced in
Small brooks should be controlled by
the state and always posted as II
would be for the interest OF all IL they
were never fished. This season will
test the doe law. and il it proves
detrimental to the deer we believe
Mr. Hapgood will have the pleasure
of seeing it killed at the next legisls
ture."
Editor Hildreth of the Express and
Standard is a man who spends a
great deal of time in the fields and
woods ard is far better qualified to
speak on this question than Others
however honest and well intentioned
who speak from theory only or from
hearsay influenced largely by senti-
ment
