Some «et.-ks ago we published a
card from Mr* Mary A. C. Gibson,
secretary of the Kecc^ikan Divi&iou
of the Southeastern Alaska Fisher
men*- association, announcing her
candidacy for member of the ter
ritorial legislature at the coming
November election.
Following Lhi* Mrs. Gibson has
honored us with the communication
which appears below;
Ketchikan, Alaska, Sept. 21, 1914.
2U!tor, Skagway Alaskan,
Dear Sir;
1 an offering to serve the peo
ple of Alaska as a member of their
nest legislature for the following
reasons;
..•> «.&
1. It i£ the d eat re of the majority
of the women of Alaska, that all
women may be granted the privi
lege, and realize the Importance of
their assuming their share of every
responsibility and every public duty,
and to have the opportunity of
working with men for the advance
ment and the good of our country;
for only by mutual dtscuaion, con
sideration and co-operation can the
wisest conclusions be reached in all
matters pertaining t< the welfare
cf men and women, and the best
way to accomplish thia is for the
men and women of Alaska to elect
women as part of their representa
tive* in the Alaska Legislature.
2 That 1 may more effectively
continue th^ work 1 have beeu do
ing for the past year and a half aa
Secretary of the Ketchikan Division
of th« S. E. Alaska Fishermens'
Assotcalion My husband, who is
Secretary-Treasurer of the whole
association, has been a fisherman
and resident of Alaska for many
years, and always an earnest leader
and worker for the fishermen to
obtain their rights. He was also
secretary of their former union,
Alaska. Local, No. 2, United Fisher
men of the Pacific. As his subor
dinate official and that of our Ex
ecutive Board, and as a member of
our association, whose aim is to
advance the interests of all the
fishermen of Alaska, and of all
business dependent upon the pros
perity of the fishermen, my work
for them in the Alaska Legislature
(if elected) will be faithful, intel
ligent and energetic.
3 My influence and votes in the
Alaska Legislature (if elected) for
the workers of Alaska in all other
occupations will be to maintain
and defend their rights and to se
cure them a square deal in every
thing. *,1$
4 My attitude towards capita] is
to compel it to grant labor its fair
and j'-ist share of what it earns
and to welcome and support its
investment in legitimate enterprises
in our country.
5 May the day be near at hand
when the people punish as they de
serve their representatives in their
legislatures who betray the peo
ple's trust. Let us all do more
than talk to this end, let us work
for it.
Win you favor me with your sup
port?
Respectfolly,
MARY A. C. GIBSON
There are four representatives to
be elected to»the territorial legisla
ture on November 3d, 1914 in the
First Division and in view
of the fact that women have
been granted the right to vote it
is no more than fair that they
should also have the privilege of
holdieg office. Mrs. Gibson, there j
can be no doubt, if elected will j
prove fully as capable of looking
after our interests at the approach-'
iug session of the legislature as a 1
majority of the men who will be]
sent there for th« same purpose,
therefore we can see no reason why
the voters of this division should |
not give her their h®arty support, I
inasmuch as *he is not tied up
with party obligations, and as her
business ability Appears to be un
questioned - . 111!
| He is indeed a bold prophet who
pretends to forecast either the pro
bality ot improbability of future
usefulness of any raw material, as
has been illustrated by the radium
mineral carootite, the mineralogic
curiosity of one decade may become
i the valuable ore of the next. Again,
the principal ore of aluminum, boax
ito, was not even mentioned in a
list of useful minerals published by
the United 9tat«e Geological Sur
vey 25 years a go.
ACT QUICKLY
IH'liiy Has lieen D«ngcrou# in Al
aska.
Do the right thing at the right
time.
Act Quickly in tiui$ of danger.
In time of kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of evidence of their worth.
Mrs. M. E. Cook, State St., Sed
ro Woolley, Wash., says: "I strain
ed my back while lifting and it was
lame and weak for a long time. I
had sharp shooting pains in my
back, and if I stooped it waa hard
for me to straighten. It was also
hard for me to get up from a chair
I was bothered with too frequent
passages of the kiduey secretions
at times, then again they didn't
pass often enough. I doctored, but
got n® better, and finally I decid
ed 'o try Doan's Kidney Pills. After
I had taken a few doses, I found
they were helping me and I contin
ued using them until I was fixed up
in good shape."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Cook had. Foster-Milburn

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
r«a»«Usa. Dmtmm Is caused by aa
inflamed condition of the Eustachla
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound of lmper
f*xt hearing, and when it is entirely
clceed, deafness is the result, and u.
less the inflamtion can b e taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
mM condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of tec
art oaosed by Catarrh, which is noth
tog but an tofls—d comdttioc at the

CRAVE ANXIETY IS PELT
BECAUSE OF DISAPPEARANCE
Word svas received in Seward yes
terday, says the Gateway, of the
possible loss of one King Thurman,
a well-known prospector and trapper
o* the Lower Lake country. Thur
man left his cabin a trifle over a
month ago, and with only his dog
for company started on a prospect
ing trip in the vicinity of Trout
lake. He left a note in the cabin
stating where ho was going and that
he would be back in a couple of
weeks. Parties calling at the cabin
saw the note and became alarmed I
at the non-arrival of Thurman and |
a searching party was organized to
try to locate the missing man, but
so far no trace of him has been dis
covered One feature of the disap- j
pearance that leads his noighbors |
to "believe that he has met with an
accident is the fact that his dog, |
an inseparable companion to the :
missing man, returned to th© cabin I
some time ago, and men who know j
the dog say that it would net desert
Its master as long as he was alive. (
A couple of parties are now in the,
hills looking for Thurman.
