EDITORIAL PAGE
MIST irTAXD TOGETHER
TO BENEFIT ALASKA
The Seattle P-I of October 30, pub
lishes the following editorial on
the Alaska railroad situation:
"Washington's delegation in con
gress, the two senators aand five
reprcseutativis, upon tho opening of
the regular s>essiou in December,
shoul.l unite, for once, and give
•vhole- ht?arted, undivided support to
the bills favorably reported to the
senate and ho.ise for the construc
tion of government railroad lines
from the Alaskan coast to the coal
fields .and intoiior of the territory.
"The two bills, in purport, if not
in detail, contain practically the
same provision*. They authorize
the expenditure of J4O,O0O,OOO, or
a sum thereabout, under the direc
tion of the president, fqr railroad
building to open up the territory.
"If our two senators and five rep
resentatives really have the inter
ests of Alaska and the whole of
this North Pacific' country at heart,
if thty ure progressive and con
structive statesmen, and responsive
to the aroused public sentiment of
the land which is today in sympathy
with this belaUd measure of relief,
they will get together and jointly
push this legislation.
. "\\nat is ntcaea is not passive,
perfunctor-y support,- but an active
and combined effort that will com
mand the attention of congress and
enlist the activities of all the fair
dealing lawmakers at Washington.
The arguments in favor of the pro
posed method of relief are over
whelming and will be irresistible, if
properly presented. It is incumbent
upon these Washington statesmen
to brush aside and forgeet personal
and political ■differences and con
flicting ambitions, i'or the moment,
at least, awl make common cause
in behalf of long-neglected Alaska.
"To do effective service they
must noi ouly. act unitedly- and pull
together determinedly, but it is in
cumbent upon them to enter the reg
ular session with^full knowledge ot
Alaska, prepa-cd to present its
needs and .particularly to show the
imperative, urgent necssity of trans
portation facilities to insure the de
velopment of the rich resources of
the territory.
"The Alaskan- measure is in a
strategic position,- holding place 011
th«» senate caleiwlpr and having been
made the special order for Decem
ber; 8. It Iras- the support of the
administration and the outlook for
its early passagi is bright. But the
Washington delegation can easily
imper^U it, either by seeking impos
sible amfcrid-ion.-'.s or by lukewarm o
negative support It is their duty to
Alaska and J-Iie- state and to the
whole-Coa,St-tr> act unitedly."

FISH COVERED WITH FUR
DISCOVERED IN ARCTIC
Boston, Mass, Nov. 7—Polar trout
the only fur-bearing fish known to
uaturai history, is the latest con
tribution of the arctic regions, ac
cording to John Bunker of North
wood Center, N. C.t who has reach
ed Boston frcui a two months ex
ploring trip in Greeenlaud. Ho
brought photographs and actual
specimens of the strange fish, which
he has called polar trout.
This peculiar denizen of the polar
regions resembles a square tall
trout in shape and garneness, and
reaches teu to fifteen pounds la
weight. The skin is covered with
a fine brown'sh fur, resembling the
texture of moleskin. This fur is
slightly .spotted with white, as Is
a young seal in the spring. Buuker
says this fact led him to call the
curiosity a polar trout.
Bunker caught in I'll three speci
mens, two in a river and one in a
small headwater pond, about two
hundred miles uorth o! Baffin's bay.

Mrs. E. A. Laird, 903 W. Thirty
fifth St., Los Angeles, Cal., says:
"About seven 'years ago my back
became lame and painful and niy
kidneys did not act right. I was
weak and run down. I finally be
gan using Doan's Kidney Pills and
soon noticed their good effect. 1

normal and my system was toned
up. Whenevtr I have had the least
need of a kidney remedy since,
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
satisfactory res alts."
