in the war service. Others are go
ing because they fancy they can
better themselves In the matter
of wages. The latter class seem
to center their hopes around the
shipbuilding industry on the P a
cific Coast, for that is practically
the only industry that has a boom.
But have those roing out thought
of the time when the government
will gay: "We nave enough ships
now, shut down the plants?"
Do you realize that the United
States government is launching a
ship a♦ the rate of one each day,
seven days of the week?
Do you realize that these ships,
or that is at least sixty per cent
of them, are larger than those hav
ing- oeen sunk by suomarines. by
striking: mines, or other war causes?
Do you realiae tha* other coun
tries are building ships, not as fast
as the United States, but at a good
rate?
Do you realize that the number
of new ships already launched has
almost reached the total of the nunn
her of ships that have gon© dowa
for various war reasons.
Suppose then .that on the first
of September or the first of Oc
tober, the government ■would say:
"Shut down the plant?"
■Wnat would become of this great
industry that has grown like a mush
room, almost in » night? What
would become of those employed?
Do you realize that while the wag
es have been good that the living
has also been good in fact high
wages and high lwing have gone
hand in hand.
There are many from all parts
of Alaska now in the states, mak
ing srrod wages, who can-not put
by enough, on account of high
<*>st of living, to secure a nest egg
for transportation back to Alaska,
and •nany of them want to come
back. Many going below have no
idea what they are going for uu
less to enlist in the war service,'
it is just a case of "run sheep run,"
like was played in the childhood
days.
Theie is work in Alaska, all
parts of it. There is not one in
dustry in Alaska that is operating
more than fifty oer cent of its
usual capacity.

coming a reaction, and are you go

this reaction will ht felt keenly?—

STRAWBERRIES OF HA INKS NOT
IF TO QUALITY
The Juneau Empire prints the
following article in a late edition:
"The strawberry crop at Halnea
nas not been up to standard this
year," said G, JV. Hinehman, mer
chant from Haines, who arrived in
Juneau with Mrs. Hinehman yester
day, ' due to two things, the long
spell o' dry weather w-e have had
this summer and the cold last win
ter. We had two months without
more than enough rain to occasion
ally wet the dust.
"The potato crop at Haines is
good this season es are crops gen
erally. We don't hear so much
about the big Haines turnips, how
ever.
"Most of the mines on the Por
cupine are running about as usual.
"The canneries are getting all the
fish they can handle. The fisher
men *n small boats however, are
not doing so we!l as they might
have done.
"About the busiest thing around
our oart of the country are the
troops at Fort Reward. One can
notice the improvement in the boys
after they have been up there
awhile."
■Mr. Hinehman came to Juneau to
take Mrs. Hinehman, who is HI. to
St. Ann hospital for medical treat
ment.
Mr. Hinehman is staying at the
Alaskan Hotel.

England, conducted an impressive
service in the Indian church at j
iMoosehide, the seating capacity of

Anglican church. The candidate wa
presented by Rev. W. Williams. j
Rer. Julius Kendi, is a member
of one of the Yukon Indian tribes j
and has been ministering to the In- ,
(liana »t Mayo for some time, and '
he so won their affection and ap-'

After the ordination about forty
five Indians partook of the boly I

ewe Ve lodge purchased at a Red

see how 1 could comply in this
case without complying in a number;
of others, and, as you will readily
realize, the area of the lawn is lim

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmitsakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days of suffering may be
saved. Weak kidneys usually ex
pel a dark, ill-smelling urine, full
of "Drickdust"' sediment and painful
passage. Sluggish kidneys often
cause a dull pain in the small of
the back, headaches, dizzy spells,
tired, languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only; they lielp weak kid
neys to rid the blood of urio poi#on.
There 's no better * recommended
remedy.
Read the statement that follows:
T. H Berry, 194 Fargo St.,
Portland, Otre., says: "I had beea
an unusually healthy man and
hadn't been sick a day in my life
until I was takc.i with typhoid
fever. After the fever left me, my
kidneys became awfully weak and
the secretions passed irregularly and
contained sediment. Every quick
move sent sharp, cutting pains
through me and I was lame and
stiff all over. I read about Doan'a
Kidney Pills and started to use
them. They soon put my kidneys
in good order and I felt like a dif
ferent man.'"
