ENCOURAGING NEWS ITEM

In yesterdays telegraphic items, none will fail to notice the transportation companies change o attitude Their announcement of rates reduction on fresh salmon and halibut from all points in southeast ern Alaska is boon the fishermen well as to the merchants particularly to the unlucky fisherman who finds themselves with only small catches. Small catches do justify them to go to Prince Rupert consequently they have to ship from the nearest port to the fishing banks, and the rates they were subeceo to being eNhorbtant, the cost took nearly everything that was left of their abor whereas now, they Will at least save from three to four dollars ton, which is considerable
 Now the question is, why wasn't that done before The steamers have failed to return to Seattle from Alaska, and long they have to return, why should they charge than it actually cost to carry the fish to Seattle? It's the fishermen who make the business for the companies, and the more the compan- les encourage the fishermen, the business they will get Proof of that is not lacking. By their tactics they drove the fishermen from Alaska ports to Canad- ian ports, and drove the business away to- To us It seems as though the companies would put money In their strong box by charging the fishermen just the actual cost of handling and carrying the fish, which would possibly amount to less than dollara ton to Seattle On their return they would have their boats loaded with goods for every man they have driven away. However the reduction announced yesterday will help

WHO SAID IT WAS DEAD?

Who said that the Republican party was dead? O1 course if it was ever said, Democrat must have said it. Whoever it was, a sad mistake made as the Republican party is much alive today, and what's more it is full of assurance of unlmitedif not undvld or-amount of support at the National election and don't you forget it either
 From all indications, would be blind not to see the new life among the Republicans throughout the country since the last Down East election Massachues- etts elected a Republican governor unmistakabe sign of the resusctation of the dead. New Jersey went against the Democrats and other states What does that mean? Only those who do not wish to see, ask such question: and for their information de- sire to say that it that the Democrats have about wound up their little ball of yarn, and at the next cleo ton they will have go back to the ranks of "Once 1 was."
 If there are any republicans in Alaska, it seems to us as though they should wake up and proceed to organize their forces and otherwise prepare to help in busting the complecent but inefficient Dmocratic party who cannot handle the affairs of the country At this point little advise may handy. To the Republicans of Alaska let it be knownand that it as far as we see-the Republicans have it all their own way provided however, that in their organ izaton they forget all about Shackeford and his henchmen. Completely forget them they have kill ed what little life there in the local party members and what's more they can kill anything. As a matter of fact after the Devil" himself, we would Tot want better help than these very Let the Republicans in every town organize but organ ize an organization that will consider other people besides themselves that is, the organizers and fight along that line and openly and not behind closed doors

DANGLING NATIONALITIES
(From the October Metropolitan

(From the October Metropotan)
 The United States duty to other nations. We should so act to show that we are one in a community of nations, with common rights and common duties and that fit by trained strength to do duty to others we'll to ourselves. This duty the United States perform until and unless she acts purely a nation, not knot of dangling nationalities If America nothing but squabbling congeries of German-A Americans Irish Americans, French Americans Engsh-Americans, Ita Americans Scandinavian Americans then it is not worth while to have it nation at all Every man in our country who seeks to divide himself from his fe low Americans along lines of creed national origin is bad American. Every in this country who seeks to shape the policy of the naton not in accord with the interests of the United States and of humanity arge but in accordance with the interests of the nation from which he his ancestors sprang is thoroughly unworthy and unpatriotc citizen and should leave the country, to whose welfare his presence is menace.-Theodore Roosevelt.

STREAkED WALLS.
Cold Surfaces Always Catch More Cust
Than Hot Ones.

Cold Surfaces Always Catch More Cust
Than Hot Ones.
The reason that lath and plaster
walls become streaked is explained by
John Aitken. In Nature as due to the
tendency os hot mir to deposit its dust
on cold surfaces. and the colder the
surface the weaker the power Of re.
sistance So where the laths protect
the plaster from the cold outside the
plaster receives less deposit of dust
than where 1t Is between the laths.
Wherever hot steam or water pipe
comes through a wall vertical streak
OF dust may be seen above it, due TO
the hot air driving the dust against the
cold wall Rooms that are heated 10y
open CRATES are much less dusty than
those heated by radiators because in
the former the furniture Is heated
principally by radiation. and, being
warmer than the air. 1t repes the par
ticles OF dust instead of catching them,
while In the latter the air heats the
furniture and in so doing deposits its
dust on it.
Rooms lighted by electricity keep
clean longer than those heated by gas
simply because the light is almost cold.
Mr. Aitken sums it up as follows:
ANY surface hotter than the mir keeps
free from dust"

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid
Exposure and Eat
Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps aceumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoonful
in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ae-
tion. thus ridding the blood of these
Impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hshia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have pleasant.
effeTvescent Whitewater drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.-Adv.
