COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
SHOULD MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.

From the Salisbury News.
The delegation in the House from
Wicomico county refused 10 pass the
bill to bond the county for enough
money to MAKE the Improvements
asked for by the County Commission
ers. A bond issue of s25,000.00 was
provided for, which will barely be
enough to make the contemplated i'm
provements in the Wicomico County
High School, certainly not more than
enough to make the Improvements in
the High School and carry out the
promise made the county commission
ers at the time the appropriation was
made for the NanticOke School. that
this amount would be included in any
bond issue to be passed by the Leg
islature. We understand that Messrs.
Disharoon and Freeny were primar-
lily responsible for the failure of the
passage of a measure which would
have provided for public road inn
proyement and the improvement in
the county JAIL
The matter of making these inn
provements is now up to the County
Commissioners Within less than
two months the anual levy must be
struck and in that levy the necessary
improvements must be provided for.
There is no question of the great me-
cessity for q better Jail in this city.
Main street will soon be opened and
the Jail will be most prominently To-
Gated. AS it stands today it is dis
grace to the county, a menace to the
health Of every man confined within
it and already the county is facing
one or two suits for damages to the
health of the inmates confined there.
The last four grand juries in the
county called especial attention to the
dilapidated condition of the structure
and its thorough unfitness as a place
to confne men and women. Notwith-
standing all these facts Messrs. Dish
aroon and Freeny seemed TO set their
own opinion against that of a large

WESTERN CONGREssNEEN
 FIGHT AGAINST AsIATIC

Washington, Jan. 27--steps to raise more stringent bars against immigration of Japanese, Chinese and Hindu laborers have been talk en by Pacific Coast Congressman. Hearings were begun last week be- fore the House immigration commit tee on the bill of Representative Raker, of California, which would legalize practically complete denial of Asiatics of lower classes entrance into this country. Representative Raker and Johnson, of Washington and other Western Congressman planned to have all the Pacific Coast exclusive societies., labor and commercial organizations join in the fight against admitting the yellow races.
 The pending immigration restric- tion bill proposes to prohibit entry to Asiatic laborers except those ex- empted by present or future laws and treaties. The Raker bill would go further by naming the Japanese, Chinese and Hindus particularly and repeal any laws or treaties which would admit any of them as at present. Witnesses from San Francisco, Portland, Ore, Seattle and other coast cities are expected to testify

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

Too many Alaskan citizens are handicapped with ba backs. The unceasing pain causes constant mis- cry, making work a burden and stoop ing or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing re- freshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and hni- 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.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for dis ordered Kidneys.
 The following statement should convince every Alaskan reader of their efficiency.
 Mrs. S. E. Rainwatr, 1907 B. Wa ter St., Albany, Ore, says: q am always willing to speak a good word for Doan's Kidney Pills in return flo the benefit they brought me after other medicines and doctors treat ment had failed. 1 could get no sleep and in the morning was all tir ed cut. Doan's Kidney Pills made cure. Since then when I have had slight attacks of the old trouble, I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills. They have always given the best re- sults."
