ALASKA'S HANDICAPS
Some o£ the trials of the pioneer
Alaskans who ■waited for so many
years for authority to develop the
territory are exemplified by the
Cordova Times In the case or John
E. Barrett, who located the site
of the new thrivintr town of Mc
Carthy, ajdacent to the great Bon
anza copper mine.
Barrett located his homestead ten
years ago, before the railroad was
completed to the mines. The rail
road needed part of his laud for
terminals, but under the law Bar
rett stood a chanco of losing his
claim if he offered to sell bfeore
receiving his patent; thus he rent
ed the terminal property to the
ctompany. Later, during the gold
rush to Shushanna, he laid out a
town and rented stores and camp
ing sites on twenty-five-year leas
es. Some of the property has
been occupied in this way for ten
years, and now Barrett, with his
parent in hand, is offering deeds
Ho lessees who will pay up the bal
ance on the twenty-five-year leas
es, and the situation as to titles
Is clear. Just now McCarthy is
•howing signs of a boom.
Alaska has reached its present
development under many discour
aging circumstances like the Bar
rett case. What if can and will
do under more intelligent and help
ful legislation is to be made ap
parent in tho immediate future.—

COLDS AFFECT
THE KIDNEYS
Many Alaska People Have Found
This to be True.
Are you wretched iu bad weath
er?
Dees every cold settle on your
.kidneys?
Doete your back ache and become
weak?
Are urinary passages irregular
and distressing?
These symptoms are cause to
sufcoeu kidney weakness.
.Weakened kidneys 'need quick
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
Grateful people reccomand them.
■William C. Russell, 'retired farm
er, 366 Valencia St., San Francisco,
Cal., says: "Many colds and days'of
lonp hours and straining work
cause I my kidneys to give me a lot
of 'rouble. Pains seemed to settle
in tne small of my bads and the
sufferi&g X endured was terrible.
Ev&rir bit of strength left me and
my kidneys acted 'too often, annoy
in/ m» at night. Doan's Kidney Pill
acted us a tonic to my kidneyjs and
prov'J of great benefit."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
siicp'.v ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Russell had. Foster-MH
