"America For Americans
Ol'li OWN .LITTLE TOWN' IS
11 EST AFTEK ALL
The following liu^s sound some
what like Walt Mason, but the peri
odical fr»m ivhich they are clipped
merely ascribes them, to our fa
miliar friend, Air. Ex.
If you meet a man that is down
ia 'he mouth, whii thinks that his
tcwn is all •wrong; just take him
a^ide or give him a ride and hand
him »his quaint little song:
' Thtre are fancier towns than
our little town, there are towns
that are bigger than this; and the
i>eci>lc that live in the tinier towns
and all city excitement will miss.
T|>.ere are things you can see in
tsift wealthier town that you can't in
th" Uwn that is small; and yet
up and down there is 110 other town
like our little town after all. it
may he that the street through the
heart of the town isn't long, isn't
wide, isn't straight; but the neigh
bors yt-n know in our little town
with a welcome your coming will
wait. In the glittering streets of
the glittering town with is palao
and pavement and thrall, in the
midst of the throng you'll frequent
ly long for our own little town af
ter ail. If you live and work and
trade in our little town in spite of
the fact that it's small, you'll find
that the town—our own little town
—is the best kind of town after
all."—Ex. i
GERMAN PLOTS STIR NATION
The week's revelations at Wash
ing'cm aro so. astounding as to jolt
severely people who have been hab
itually asking "what next?" few
some 'ime. Reports of the Ger
man conspiracy would be unbeliev
able bu.t for White House confirma
tion. Several facts of importance
have developed by reason of the
week's happenings.
It is well to note also that too
many ox our people have been in
the habit of giving foreign govern
ments credit for the clever "inside
work." Although the exact source
of the information is not divulged,
there is evidence that the federal
secret service is responsible aud
that the American government is
not behind the rest in keeping in
formed as to the other fellow's1
business. ; J
If any evidence were needed of
the unity of Americans with rela
tion to possible forgein foes it has j
been supplied by the galvanizing of
•public sentiment iato active sup
port cf the president.
Tho fact that President Wilson
,was iu possession of the facts for
some tjme without lcsii»g his head
or being goaded into rash action is
fresh commentary on the admirable
poise be has maintained in all his
diplomatic difficulties.
Study of the attitude of con
gressmen is interesting. Just as
the -west supported President Wil
son. last November because be was
a man of peace, so when the ne
cessity Is seen to appear, the west
is most thoroughly united in the ef
fort to give him a frge baud in
taking: care of the situation.
And just as the west haS stood
in the way of the program for com
pulsory military service in normal
times, tne west will lead ia *h« furn
ishing its ^uota of men if the real
need appeals.
The impossibility of bringing the
Japanese govern ment into conflict
with the United States has been
proven, as well as the wcaJcnese of a
program of aggression through the
instrumentality of Mexico.—Ex.

' VALERIE MIKE
Gus Nelson, hard rock miner from
British Columbia, arrived la Whlte
HcTse from Vancouver oa Sunday's
euecial traia from, Skagway, says
the Whltehorse Star. He Is here
tor the purpose of re-opening the
Valerie copper mine, situated, sev
ea miles west of south from town,
of which valuable property A. B.
Palmer of Vancouver is the princi
pal owner. Mr. Nelson brought la
with him a quantity of machinery
which was transported to the scene
of operations Monday by Robert
Lowe. In the outfi*. was a large
bciler.
The Valerie since its location by
Gus Gsnraise 18 years ago has had
a vas' amount of work done upon
the property not alone in the pros
pecting and development of the
ore body, which hag been proven of
high srade and large extent, but in
the erection of numerous build
ings for the protection of the ma
chinery and the accifaimodtoin of
employes. A shaft 200 feet deep,
now being cleared of the ice that
fills it, together with drifts, cross
cu's and slopes, comprise a portion
of tne work.
-\lcst of the machinery formerly i
use has been removed. It will be
replaced by modern, up-to-date ap
pliances for mining, while the lat
est me'hods for Tapid and thorougli
prosecution of development work'
will be employed.
There is quits a little village of
lojr cabins and company houses at
the Valerie mine, all of them in a
mere or less diplapidated condition,
owing to disuse and the ravages
of the elements, but Mr. Nelson is
putting to work every man who ap
plies for a job and it will be only
a sfccrt time until everything will
be iu as good shape as ever it
was.
There also will be several hun
dreds oi cords of wood required at
an early date which will furnish
profitable employment for many
men who are not miners. We un
derstand that Chas. PugBley, who
reutrned to Whi'ehoa-se from a
lengthy visit to the outside a few
days ago, has entered into a con
tract to furnish 100 cords.
I WHY BARROW DIDN'T VOTE
Foin» Barrow did not Bend any
election returns, gays the Nome In
dustrial Worker. United States
Commissioner Richardson, at that
DOint, explains that there were
only five voters there, including the
illiterate wife: a trader, and
so, although they have the honor
of having te largest voting precinct
!n the world, they didn't want the
fecnor of casting the gmailset vote.
The voters felt they didn't know a
thins about the candidates, so
didn't see the necessity for putting
the government to the expense of a
vote being taken. The hope was
express-el that some time
when the precinct wag more de
veloped they mjght be able to cast
a vote proportionate to its size.

ARE YOUR
KIDNEYS SICK?
Many Alaska People Have Kept
Well By Keeping Their Kid
neys Well.
The first symptoms of kidney
trouble may be only a slight pain
in the hack, a feeling of stiffness or
soreness in the loins, or some an
noying irregularity of th© urinary
uasaages. Urine is often discolor
ed and perhaps sediment gathers
noon standing. Next may come a.
dull, throbbing, backache, sharp,
knife-like pains, headaches, | diz
ziness and in many cases, lameness
wheu arising in the mornng. No
one cau affrod to delay until these
troubles become serious. Begin
using Doan's Kidney Pills, the
tried and tested kidney remedy that
has won the Draigg of thousands.
Alaskan readers should find con
vincing »roof cf merit in the fol
lowing statement. I ,
G. H. Delinke, 323 Lincoln St.,
Portland, Ore., says: "Kidney trou
ble clung to me for six Ihonths. I
had a dull, steady ache and jat
time, sharp pains in my kidneys. I 1
had soreness over 'my kidneys and
I found it hard to turn in bed. I
Too frequent action of my kidneys
caused me to rise up often at night. 1
Doan's Kidney Pills cur^d me."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Dont
slmoly ask for a kidney j remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
