Japan Third in
 Merchant Shipping

Tokio. Nov. 7.-DisCussing the figures of LIoyd's Shipping register showing that in the amount of mer- cantile marine tonnage Japan is third among the nations, being sur passed only by the United Kingdom and the United States, the Oriental Economist, a Japanese commercial monthly, says the chief causes for the empires development in this line have been the protection and as sistance afforded by the government and the three wars in which Japan has been engaged in the last 25 years.
 "TLe protection of the government to the shipping trade of the country dates as far back as 1872" says the paper. Tn 1875 the original compa- ny was dissolved and new one es- tablished. The Kyodo Unyu Kaisha was established in 1885 and in the same year the two companies were amalgamated and the present Nippon Yusen Kaisha came into existence. The government guaranteed the new company payment of 8 per cent divi- dend. This arrangement was later changed into the grant of @ fixed amount of annual subsidy,
 "The termination of the Russ Japanese war saw further develop ment of Japan's shipping trade and various new liners were opened to many ports in China. In 1909, the many ports in China, Korea and in Eastern Russia. In 1909, the Osaka

Pete Madsen has bcen appointed keeper for the four lights and thc responsibility for theil operation is given to the local Customs officials Boats using the, passage are asked to inform the Juneau Customs office should the lights not be burning at all times.
 The placing of lights across the bar was taken up several months ago by the Juneau Commercial As sociation and Mayor R. E. Robertson with the Lighthouse Service officials at Ketchikan. The suggestion was favorably received and additional in formation requested. Data on the best location for the lights as well as the need for their establishment was collected here and forwarded to Superindent DibrelI and it is un- derstood that the doIphin locations were made in accord with sugges- tions made by local people.-Empire

 That the European war gave a great impetus to Japan's shipping trade will be still in the memory of all. Another important factor has been the plentiful supply of cheap labor in the shape of seamen and of fuel. The course of events in re- cent year, however, has shown that these factors in favor of Japan have been disappearing and Japan's ship ping trade in common with many other industries is confronted with a serious crisis.
 Considering that Japanese ships require a larger number of men in the handling the comparative low ness of the efficiency of the Japa- nene seamen will be clear, although their wages are comparatively high"

ONE WEAK SPOT
Many Skagway People Have a Weak Part and Too Often It's the Back.

Many people have a weak spot. Too often it's a bad back. Twinges follow every sudden twist. Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
 Backache is often from weak kid neys.
 In such cases a kidney medicine is needed.
 Doar&s Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 For backache and urinary ills. Good proof of merit in the fol- lowing statement.
 W. D. Barnett, 397 W. 4th St., San Pedro, Calif., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are an old standby with me. They have done me lot of good. I used them of and on for years and have never found their equal for kidney trouble. At times l had attacks of backache that al ways put me out of commission. I could hardly stoop or straighten up, and my kidneys didn't act right. Doan's Kidney Pills have never fail ed to strengthen me up in good shape"
