THE DAILY ALASKAN
SKAGWAY ALASKA
Washicgton, D. C-, Jan. 13—Is
the deadliness of the automobile in
creasing or decreasing?
This question seoms to bo ans
wered In a very conclusive manner
by tho bureau of the census, lu malw
ing oublic some preliminary mor
tality statistics for tlie year 11)14,
which indicato that during the five
yeara from 1909 to 1914 the num
ber of automobiles in use in the
United States increased more than
twice as rapidly as the number of
fatalities caused by them.
At th--* close of 1909, according to
figure® compiled by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce,
of New York City, from state reg
istration reports, due allowance be
ing made fjr duplicate registrations,
the number of automobiles In use
in the United States was approxi
mately 200,000; by the close of
1913 it had risen to 1,270,000; and
a year later, at the end of 1914, it
was 1,750,000.
In th& meantimo tho number of
deaths due to automobile accidents
and Injuries iucreased from 632 la
tils death reglstatlon ar«a in 1909,
containing 56 per cent of the popu
lation OC the United States, to
">623 iu the sumo area in 1914;
and the increase from 1913 to
1914, tor tlio registration area as
constituted in 1913, then containing
65 per cent ol the population of
tae country, was from 2,488 to
2,795.
Tlius c. five-year increase of
775 per cent—acceptiug as reliaJble
tie figures compilod by tho Ration
al Automobile Chamber of Com
merce—in number of machines has
been, accompanied by an increase of
315 per cent in, automobile fatali
ties; and a one-year increase of
C8 oer cent in number of machines
has Dfien accompanied by an in
crease of 12 per cent iu fatalities.
One cause of this proportional
cecreage in tho destructiveness of
tio automobile is undoubtedly to
le founl in a reduction in average
rnnual inileago per machine; but,
Efter due weight is given this fact
cr. and a suitable margin ia al
1 wtd for possible error rosultlng
f 'om inaccuracy in the estimated
\ artion of tho automobile statistics,
t te figures still appear to furnish
ample justification for the con
e usion that the automofcilo today
i; being driven 'with more care find
i >re r- gard for public Eafety than
i was a few years ago.

The following lettera received at ,
Nome from Dime creek, the sceno of
a new strike oa the Koyukuk, give
an idea of the situation at the new
camp.,'
"Jus* a few lines to let you know
that we hare arrived here and that
ever vote is well. We had quite a
ttugii trip after all. The weather
got so cold that everything froze
up so we could get no nearer than
Hie M ssiou, about forty miles from
the oaiLlh. of the Koyukuk river.
"After getting our boat into tv'u-I
ter quarters and getting our 6up-1
plies slowed away, we made ar
rangements with the mail carrier,
Peter Keeuan, and started out for
Cm- creek with three sledges and
twenty five dogs, so we got a con
sidtrablfc portion of our stuff with
us and landed nearly as soon in
Dime as the rest of th-> boys.
Everybody seems well satisfied
wit1- the country and are now build
ing cabins but there is a serious
d-awbi'-ck to the camp, and that is
that tfcere is not enough grub here
and many things will be peluk in •> J
very short time.
"The storekeeper has had j
ba«' luck with his ship-'
meat and did not | make
arrai.gements early enough to get
his stuff up the river, so a good
•ieal ij lying at tho mouth of the
river. I examined the pile there
and even when ho gets it up it
will not amount to much. The nest
place to get stuff from is Chinik,
r.-hich means five cents extra per
I 01 lid, ~
"The ltarn got stuck at the mouth
if the river.
"It, costs two cents to freight
from the mouth per pound, four
cents from the Mission and ono
cent from tho city to tho creek."
Another letter from Dime, this
time with a hammer in ©very line,
reached this office.
The writer is very discouraged al
thou£>" only there about six days,
lie fltje there are only two paying
claims oa the creek. There is lit
tle or no wood to speak of handy,
i.nd freight charges are ruinous for
the poor man. [ He complains of
the grub shortage: "Sugar is 20 c
a pourd, no potatoes, no rice, [no
coffee to be had at any price, and
only a few hundred pounds of flour
ef, so the grub -will be out beforo
iong; so it looks as if we are
against it and the gamo is just "a
;.carc» as in Nome." He states
hat they, can get nil kinds j of
lays, bu" they are til wild cats
:md it costs more to sink a hole
here than in Nome.
He savs that Fritz Mobe3 wa« go
ng to sink a couple of holes on
■.eu'k ground yvhere there Is some
vcod. Ila has had a lay on (One
below, but found nothing' so gave it
up and he said that as soon as he
,s,throu5>. jvith this one he and
•lis partners were going to 50 back
-0 Nome.
Tse writer incidentally says that
t costs fifty cents to get a letter
.0 D'me creek and saya not to
>1 ward his mail.—Seward Post.

NO REASON FOR IT
l'ou Are Shown A Way Out
There can be no reason -why any
reader of this who suffer the tor
tures of an aching back, the an
noyance of urinary disorders, tho
pains and dangers of kidney ills
will fail to heed the word of one
who has used Doan's Kidney Pills
and has found relief. The following
Is convincing proof.
W. C. Johnston, 1021 Mill St., Sa
lem, Ore., nay# "I was safflicted
for two years with kidney trouble,
caused by exertion and colds set
tling on my kidneys. I had pains
lu my back across my kidneys. Jly
back ached at nitrht and was lame
In the morning. I tired easily and
felt languid and nervous. I al
so had headaches an' dizzy spells
and ray sight blurred. I finally bi?
gan usine- Doan's Kidney Pills and
1 fe't belter after I had taken one
box. I still use Doan's Kidney
Pills once In awhilo, when a cold
settles in my kidneys and they
never fail to help me."
I Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Johnston had. Fostor-Mil
