ALIEN KNKMIKS
A howl may be expected as a re
sult o' the President's order 'hat
an Germans and Austrians must be
registeied and that none of them
may travel without permits or ap
proach. nearer than luu yards (300
feet, rr one block) to waterways,
warehouses, railroads, railroad
(Midges and the like
That such a measure is necessary
to prevent further destruction of
propertv is admitted. In fact, there
is no denying- that the administra
tion already has been too lenient
and has permitted too much free
dom to enemy aliens. But there
are a lot of German workmen in
and around seaport cities. From
these may be expected a hue a-nd
cry. They will resent, and will
seek publicity for their resentment,
the denial of free access to any
»nd all places where possible em
ployment may be had—and, Inci
dentally where havoc may be
wrought when it suits their pleas
ure. They will seek to overthrow
the rule which denies them the
privilege of moving from place to
place at will—and will seek to brin
pressure through agitation to al
leviate this condition and make it
posslole for them to go on with the
pro-Gtrman, anarchist and sa
botage propaganda- in which they
have Indulged so violently of late.
Some very ugly scenas may be ex
pected when the registration time
comes and when bodies of enemy
aliens decide to strike and then to
try to leave the scene of their
troubles. The Northwest no doubt
will 1>e the location o£ many of
these disturbances and it is not
unlikely that drastic measures will
fcaVe to be taken to enforce the
government ruling.
It Is planned in the East to deny
the Germans the right to live
withla 100 miles of the Atlantic. A
similar move abound be started on
the Pacific. All unnaturalized Ger
mans «nd those naturalized less
live years, Bhould be made to seek
residence in the interior, well

YOSHIOKO DIES
ON SCAFFOLD
With a denial of bis guilt and
with tlie words of the song "Jesus
Lores Me, This 1 Know," his last
earthly utterances; Roy Yoahioko
stood on the gallows and his soul
was Blunged iuto eternity. He was
exacu'ed in the jail yard at Daw
son Friday, Nov. 23, before the
break cf day.
Yobhioko was calm and self pos
sessed to the last. He was perlhaps
the collest man present at tha grim
performance. As he left the prison
cell and ascended the scaffold, steps
under heavily armed guards his
step was orisk, and betrayed no
sign of hesltency. The movement
was almost on the double-quick,
and he was entirely unassisted.
The moment the condemned man
reached the floor of the scaffold,
he was olaced on tha trap, three
feet square. The proceedings then
were brief. In a few moments it
was ail over, and the body hung
limp ;n mute testimony that so
ciety was avenged an-d that the
man incarnate had paid, tie penal
ty of the foul crime of which he
wag convicted.
SherVf Brimston steppedi forward.
"Ycsbioka," said the sheriff, "you
are about to die. I want to ask
you one question first, and. I want
you to answer me. Did you kill
your wife Hisa or the Indian Per
cy?"
"No, I did not." replied Yosh.
ioka as he looked direct st the
sheriff. He sooke loudly and dis
tinctly.
Yosnioka was condemned for mur
dering his wife Hisa, at West Daw
son, :n June of this year. She and
her unborn child died together. Per
cy Jamee, an Indian, also was
found dead on the Yoshioka premis
es, and while no charge of murder
ing the Indian was Ufld, it was gen
erally presumed one person killed
both Mie Indian and the woman,
ami the evidence, all of which was
circumstantial, covered both cases.

SOLID TRAIN' OF STEEL
CARS FOR CORDOVA
Traffic officials of the Alaska S.
S. Co., began arrangements for the
transportation of a solid freight
train, consisting of a 130-ton loco
motive and forty steel flat cars
from Seattle to Cordova, where the
train will be placed in service on
the Cooper. River & Northwestern
Railroad, says the Seattle Times.
The big freight tngne will be
sent north aboard the steamship
Cordova. A railroad track will be
built 10 the deck of the Cordova
and when the tide is at the proper
height, the engine will be shifted
aboard the vessel for transporta
tion to Alaska.
The forty flat cars, which are of
fifty-ton variety, are on their way
to Seattle and will be loaded aboard
the vessels of the Alaska S. S. Co.
and sent to Alaska. Because
of the scarcity of freight cars, as
a result of the war, the new equip
ment is coming west loaded and as
soon as the cars are discharged
they jvill be made ready for ship
ment to Cordova for use. Before
the war new equipment of this
kind was sent west empty but with
cars at a premium tha Copper Riv
er & Northwestern Railroad Com
pany permitted transcontinental
lines to load the cars for Seattle.

Housework Is
A Burden
Womau's lot is a weary one at
best. But with backache and other
distressing kidney ills life indeed
becomes a burden. Doan's Kidney
Pills have made life brighter for
many women. Read what Mrs. Roll
Cookfiion, of 1809 E. First Ave.,
Spokane, Wash., says: "The srip
put my kidneys out of order and
I suffered with a heavy dull pain
iu the small of my back which, kept
getting more severe. Some days I
could hardly do my work for it was
almost impossible to bend over. My
kidneys were weak and annoyed me
a great deal, too. I was worried
because my feet swelled and because
of the puffiness under my eyes. One
box of Doan's Kidney Pills gave me
relief and after I had used two
boxes I was feeling fine In every
way." (Statement given October
16. 191B.)
On June S. 1917M rs. Cookston
said: 1 have had absolutely no
trouble with my kidneys since Doan
Kidney Pills cured me and I feel
better than I have in years."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
jlmply ask for a kidney remedy—
jet Doan'a Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Cookston had. Fostei^Mil

pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science nas
been able to cure In all Its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Medicine Is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the 8ystem thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con
