 Probably the report from Washington that Colonel Mears will be detached from the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission, at its head, May l. and that he will be succeeded by Colonel Steese of the Alaska Road Commission, and that Major Gotwals will be ylce-chairman, undoubtedly surprise to most Alaskans. Having directed the construction of the major portion of the railroad the supposition was that Colonel Mears would continue as the head or the commission and direct the operation of the road now that it is practically completed.
 Persons acquainted with Colonel Mears however assert that such not his wish; that having built the road he is content leave operation to others while he, if his wishes gratiied, will be detailed to another construction project
 Colonel Mears has, in the construction of the Alaska Railroad, demonstrated that he is a con- structing engineer of ability The completed road Is one in which he may take just and demonstrates his fitness to undertake greater tasks and the railroad was great one. With Alaskans Colonel Mears and his work will always be ntmtaley asso- eiaed and when he leaves the North, he will carry with him the respect and good wishes of its people
 In the operation of the road it is doubtful if men more competent for this task could have been se- lected than Colonel Steese and Major Gowas. Their connection with the Alaska Road Commission has put them in touch with all parts of the Territory: they know its transportation needs and they may be depended to give Alaska the best possible service the conditions warrant.

LIKE THE DARK AGES.

The story in detail of the murder of Semenoff great Rus,ian author and intimate friend of Tostoy which has arrived in this country reads like pag from the history of the dark ages He assassnate by fellow citizens in the little village where he cul tivated the soil wrote his soul dictated and live the simple life of a Russian peasant. They conceve the idea that he and responsible al their afflictions they killed him
 The New York Post contains the following graphi account of his death;
 Sergey P. Semenon, Russian national writ CT and close friend of the late Count Leo ToStoy, has been murdered by fellow vi- lagers who believed him responsible for their msfortunes, acording to letter received by Herman Bernstein, author and journalist
 Scmenofs neghbors suspicious of him for some time the letter said They would say He is forever writing. But what is the use of his writings, If he is an edu- cated man let him go to the city He may bring misfortune upon us
 Then whatever misfortune befe the v- lagers, whether in the fields or their home life, was ascribed to the "accursed black magic of Semenoff.' He got the name of sorcerer.' The letter continues:
 If a COW died suddenly wagon broke down, the whole village would start whisper ing That is the sorcerer's evil eye
 One day recently Semenof was on his way tc the neighborng village of Butzevo He was carrying manuscript 10 the local teacher who would copy it for him. Gregory Malutin, his son, Nicholas. and his daughter Vera Scmenoffs fellow villagers. were hiding in elump of bushes at the bridge approach
 Where are you going?' shouted Malu- tin to Semenof To the teacher with a manuncrpt he answered.
 Well, this is your last manuscript
 Two shots fired Somenof fell dead.
 At the investigation the Mautns de- clared, calmly:
 Yes, we killed tho sorcerer Is that sin? H brought harm our cattle He brought illness to the village with his evil eye The drought due to him. He was 10 blame fer the famine
 It was like the voice of the Middle Ages at the trial of witches. Poor Russa,"
 Semenoh, although he had attained fame as writer, never would leave his village preferrng 10 remain there and to till inc soil as well as write He recognized years ago by Count Tolstoy who wrote an introduction to some of Semenofs works The book that gained him his widest popularity was his autobiography entitled Twenty-Five Years in Village"

tains, Wally, with the help OF Horatio
st. Adams, his dusky partner from a
south sea isle, was forced to cut his
way thru heavy NOW drifts which
had completely covered the road.
This, Of course, was a great disadvant-
age to Van as he was out to set a rec
ord for the trip as well as for the
picture. While on the Lincoln High
way, about the halfway mark, Wally
was humming along between fifty-five
and sixty when just beyond a turn in
the road he spied a hay wagon which
made it impossible for him to pass.
It was useless to apply the brakes and
Wally's only alternative was to drive
off the road. He did, but he didn't
notice a ditch and a few hours later,
when Van and Horatio regained their
senses and started their journey onc
more, they found the same hay wagon
FILLING" the road some hundred feet
ahead of them, ignorant of the mis-
fortune it had caused them. We feel
safe in saying that Wally waited for
it to turn off the highway before he
attempted to pass it again.

Kidneys

More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Help
N~eutralIze Irritating Acids.

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn
ing, { scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad-
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread; the
water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in viding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
It because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
often n Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Begin drinking lots of
soft water. also get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast. Continue this
