PLENTY WILSON'S
 HAVE J. s. J0BS

Washington, Feb. A casual scanning of the official directories that Uncle Sam gets out showing the names and salaries of his multi tude of employees might lead the reader to believe the opinion that the family of Wilson's" is favored in the matter of jobs. Instead in these directories there are no less than sixty five Wilson's who held jobs that are better than the aver age, not counting "bIr Woodrow Wilson" who is president.
 There are scores upon scores of other Wilson's who hold clrekshiDs and miner positions. It might be mentionew that none of the Wilson's including the sixty five who held the better-than-average jobs, are any relation to the President Jo- seph M. Wilson, brother of the President tried to get on the gov ernmeut payroll but he took his chance like any other citizen and was defeated for the job of clerk To the Senate.

HANDICAPPED.
This is the Case With Many Alas kan People.

Too many Alaskan citizens are handicapped with ba backs. The Unceasing pain causes constant his cry, making work a burden and stoop ing or lifting an impossi5ility. The back aches at night, preventing re- freshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and lini- ments may give relief but cannot reach the cause if the kidneys are weak. To eliminate the pains and aches of kidney backache you must cure the kidneys.
 Doau's Kidney Pills are for dis ordered kidneys.
 The following statement should convince every Alaskan reader of their 'ficiency.
 Mrs. s. E. Rainwatr, 1907 E. Wa ter St, Albany, Ore, says: q am always willing to speak g good word for Doan's Kidney Pills in return fo the benefit they brought ne after other medicines and doctors treat ment had failed. I could get no sleep and in the morning was all tir cd out. Doau's Kidney Pills made a cure. Since then when l have had slight attacks of the old trouble, have taken Doan's Kidney Pills. They have always given the best re- sults."

THIS E GROUND
 H0G DAY

Yes, this is Ground Hog Day the Second of February-and if any doggoned old ground hog Sees his shadow today he will have to hurry for up to the time of going to press the sun has failed to shine, and with the continued slight fur
 les of snow, 1t is not at all like ly that Old Sol will give his majes- ty, the Ground Hog, an opportunity of basking in the joyous warmth of his rays.
 Now, if you are at all supersti- tious, keep tab on the weather, for the adage says, "If the Ground Hog sees his shadow on the second day of February, he will return to his hole and stay there for sixty days, while if on the contrary he cant see his shadow, he will stay ou- for there will be no more cold weather.

< BEAUTIFUL
 FLOWER GARDEN

NIr. aud Mrs. Fred J. Weber took lhe first prize at the second Annu- al Fair of the Skagway HOrticultur- al society, held here on Sept. 18th and 18th, 1913, for the finest col lection of home grown flowers eX- uiOited.
 In Boddington's Garden Guide, published in New York, for the spring Of 1914, copies of which lave just reached Skagway, the frontispiece is a series of six half ton eviews, reproduced from photo graphs, of MT. and Mrs. Weber's cosy little home in Skagway. The views were taken last summer when the flowers were in full bloom in the yard, and is an eloquent testi- monial of the profusion and luxuri- ant growth to which flcwers attain in the Skagway valley when prop erly cultivated and attended to.
 arden Guide, in speaking of this beautiful flower garden says: Neither is this idea confined to Localities, witness this on the frontis- piece of the catalogue, where are photographic reproductions of a gar den in far away Skagway, Alaska, that does credit to the owner-and surely he must be a good garden er

TIE third meeting of the Public

the Public Library building yesterday
afternoon was largely attended and
much enthusiasm manifested by the
members of the organization, which
was perfected three weeks ago with a
view Of providing a visiting nurse for
Bourbon county and combat the dread
ed white plague.
n addition to the large number en-
rolled as members at the meeting held
last week one hundred and tweity
eight were admitted to the member
ship yesterday afternoon and it is the
opinion of those foremost in the move
ment there will bye an increase in the
membership with each succeeding
meeting.
Much encouraged oy the success at
tanned so far the work of looking af-
ter the health of the community will
be entirely upon a systematic manner
and through the medium OF a visiting
nurse which is to be provided by the
league as soon as all arrangements
are made for the poyment of the sal
airy and meet the other expenses of
the undertaking.
As an evidence of the interest that
is being taken in the movement, the
Fiscal Court at its regular meeting
yesterday afternoon made a hand
some appropriation to assist in meet
ing the expenses, and the City Council
viii be asked to contribute a liberal
sum 10 the furtherance of the cause
Miss Hunt, who has been here for

regarding the health Of \the county
and city and pointed to the urgent
need OF a visiting nurse keep in toucl
with the conditions, to attend the
needy in their illness and to work il

Situation at Washington.

WASHINGTON, March al
though Great Britain'S reluctance to
press the Benton case at this time has
made the American situation less
acute, there are several aspects of it
which it now is practically certain
will occasion spirited debate in the
Senate in a few days.
1t has became known that facts and
data concerning the numbers Of for
eigners killed in Mexico since armed
revolution began there are being gath
cred by the State Department for
Senator Shively, ranking member of
the Foreign Relations Committee, who
is expected to present official records
about conditions in the Southern Re-
public.
It was reported that Senator Fall,
of New Mexico, would open the de-
bate with a speech pointing to condi-
tions in Mexico past and present, and
urging a change Of policy.
The New Mexico Senator presented
to the Foreign Relations Committee
Pedro Del Vilar and Cecelio Ocon,
representing the political interests OF
Felix DiaZ.
Members of the committee were
| frankly amazed WHEN Tic mOAAS1ho
sought moral support by the United
States of a movement to bring about
peace in Mexico by another revolu-
ton headed by Diaz.
The committee had no idea, 1t is
said, of the purpose of their visit
other than they wished to present In
formation about the situation in Mex
leo: Members of the committee fatty
stated that the United States could
not recognize any such movement.
Vilar and Ocon severely arraigned
Huerta as corrupt and Carranza and
Villa as bandits, and argued that Fe
jlix Diaz had host of loyal Mexican
citizens behind him who would rush
to his support to establish a real gov
iernment in Mexico.
They want to get a promise, II pos
Isible, from the American Govern
,ment that it would uphold Diaz and
recognize him if the counter-revolu
ticn succeeded. Several members Of
the committee characterized the prop
osition as preposterous.
The committee is taking a most &C
tive interest in the Mexican imbrogli(
and intends to get all the information
possible so that it may be prepared
for any situation that may arise, es
! Decially if the Administration shoult
determine upon any change of policy

In discussing the probable develop
mon tendency is to regard the German
army as invincible and look upon
Germany as being the most important
factor Of the whole situation. 1t would
be foolish to dispute the proposition
dogmatically; but somehow we are
not so certain as to the correctness of
the general belief among military men.
There are in the problem other con-
siderations than numbers, discipline
and organization. More than once,
dance hall bouncers have beeen known
to beat the stuffing out Of John L. Sui
livan, Jim Jefferies and other cham
pion prize fighters. Because the Turk
ish army had been trained by German
officers, it was thought that it would
be more than a match for the Greeks.
Servians and Bulgarians who had been
trained largely by the French. But
when the test came it developed that
the Greeks, Bulgarians and Servians
were more than a match for the Turks
When Packenham's army Of Yelling
tons Waterloo veterans landed at New
Orleans in 1915, they laughed at An
drew Jackson's frontier volunteers
until after the battle had commenced
There may be some truth in the old
saying that victory lies on the side of
the most men and the heaviest artil-
lery; but in spite of the vaunted pow
er of the military world, it is not well
to forget the result of the breaking of
300 pitchers on one occasion or Of two
certain battles, one of which was
fought in the hills and the other on the
plains. Talk as We may and forget as
we may, some must surely remember
that in so far as other people are con-
cerned at least there is "One" who
has been called the God of Battles
and who in all ages of the world from
the beginning down to the present
time has decided issues regardless of
the comparative physical strength of
the combatants.
