The sharp twinge of pain in .t1s small of the back that strikes you after any sudden twist Or awkward motionk may tell of weak kidneys. And there are often disturbances of the urine-too frequent urination, scalding or burning pain turing pas sage, discolored urine and sediment.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are prepared especially for weakened kidneys. kidney backache and urinary dis orders-have proven their merit in thousands of cases. Can Skagway readers demand more convincing proof of merit than the following?
 F. J. Sparks, grocer, 1S06h o. Street., Sacramento, Calif., says: 'I am always ready to praise Doan's' Kidney Pills. Two years ago rheu- matic pains were causing me lot of suffering.

 When the girl had climbed to the nook In the cliff, she drew back at the appearance of an old man en-, sconced on the rock which was her favorite resting place.
 q beg your pardon" she said; Il thought no one was here."
 The old man smilingly waved his hand. "Well, I'm just no one at all" he replied, "so make yourself com fortable, and don't mind me"
 Janey hesitated, but as he returned to his absorbed contemplation of the scenic panorama, she sank down upon q lower rock, and was evidently soon lost in troubled thought. A deep sign at last escaped her.
 "Only. the aged should sigh," the old man remarked pleasantly. Janey turned to look into his shrewd eyes beneath their grizzled white brows' and all at once she felt an impulsiVe desire to confide in the possessor or these same kindly sympathetic eyes
 AS though reading her scruples, the old man bent down encouragingly. "Well?" he asked
 The girl laughed. It's about Billy,' she answered, the words seemingg to say themselves.
 "When n young woman signs" her odd companion responded, Ut usually is about Billy, or Jack or Tom Has he been called to war;"
 Janey shook her head. "Not yet" she said. Billy Is just little above the age limit. That seems to be his fault; he is always just little out or everything"
 "And this particular thing In which he fails?" the man persisted.
 q am strangely moved to tell you all about it." Janey said slowly, though am sure I don't know why"
 "Most people are moved to tell me things" he assured her; sometimes I am fortunate enough to help them sometimes not. In this instance"
 Billy and I had decided to marry" Janey said. Father places an obsta- cle."
 The old man nodded.
 "Aly father would like me to marry his own business partner" she said; "a very promising young man."
 But you wouldn't like it," her con- panion supplemented; "so what Is fa- ther's obstacle in Billy's case"
 "Oh, it's mean" the girl cried out indignantly, "and it's unfair Years ago father sold a cumbersome house and barns on the hills to some strang- or who agreed to carry the estate along and make payment when ne could. Father was glad, then, to have the taxes taken off his hands. But the man who bought the place went away | Che was some sort of sporting man) and he left the house with caretak' CTS. the barns filled with his horses. Then one day the estate came back into fathers hands. The sporting man was bankrupt, they said. He had paid nothing on the property, and 1 house and barns were all out of re- pair. They really had abused things shockingly, so father sued for dam agcs, just enough to put the place m selling order again. But his lawyer could get nothing. The sporting man | was clever enough always 10 arrange his affairs that way, they said. And now" Jancy threw out her hands dcspairingly, "this Is fathers insur- mountable obstacle: Billy must make good by collecting those damages. Father knows this Is impossible. And Billy" A tender smile lowered about the girls mouth. "Oh, Billy is so confident of everything"
 "i like a man who Is sure of win ming" the old man told her.

EDITORIAL
TO MIR. AND MRS. VOTER OF
 SKAGWAI

The Democratic press of Alaska has done everything in their power to discredit Judge Wickersham who has so ably represented you in Con- gress for the past ten years and now they are laying great stress On the point ina. Delegate Wickersham did uot accomplish anything during his several terms in office.
 Or course any one who has lived iu Aaska any length Of time and has taken the least interest in the "ctious of congress since 1908 kncw positively that the st atement and a, gumeets made by the Democratic press ars absolutely without founda- ton and cleyerly argued for the purpose O. misleading the voter.
 James Wickersham has been the champion of Alaska and has se- cured every piece Of legislation worthy of Alaska's delegate either Dy introducing the bills or by active and unceasing labor be- fore committees and on the floor Of rhe house. Not only this but he Las by his force of character and splendid knowledge of every inch or Alaska heaIed off and defeat ct mu.h proposed legislation that was iuimiCal to Alaska and her people. h this particular his sue cess has been eXceedinly valuable and 10 one but a sstrong man arm ea with the courage of his conyit- lions could have stood off the Or ganized lobby that is always work ing to put Alaska into the hands of the big interests and take it away from the people.
 h order that the yoterss may know What James Wickersham has done there is appended a list of the lills which have been passed entirely by his efforts or furthered by the information furnished by hi.l,
 Among these bills is the Home Rule Bill and when Wickersham got that notable bill passed against the combined influence of the Alaska Syndicate and the subsidized polt- ticians who besieged congress and fought the bill to the lasst ditch, every newspaper in Alaska except inc perhaps one was loud in praise cf their champion and no one had the temerity to hint that the pass age of that bill was not due holely to Delegate Wickersham's efforts. That Is only one and here is the list oP all of them: The miners lease lew; the detention hospital in Nome; the capital building appro- priation for Juneau the building of the Valdez dike the appropriation for the public building at Cordoya; the abolishing Of the power ot attorney, limiting the number Of mining clsims to two month; the appropriation Of $10O,000 for the Yukon river to open the river to barges; the home rule bill of 1912, giving you authority to elect your egislature-previously there was no organized government - the act permitting homestead claims to ever man in Alaska, though he might
