"ALASKA DAY",
Tomorrow, October ISth, 1913,
will witness the first observance of
the anniversary of the passing of
possession of the immense area of
land kfiown as Alaska, lying
partly within the Arctic Circle, from
the hands of the Russian govern
ment into those of the United States
Forty-six years ago, and this land
that is now inhabited by a hardy and
industrious people with , towns, vil
lages and miniug camps scattered
throughout its length and breadth,
and its inexhaustible wealth, was so
little known, except along the sea
board, that it was only spoken of.
even by otherwise well informed
people, as a land of glaciers and
perpetual snow.
For many years after it came un
der the protection of the stars and
stripes, its industries were confin
ed, almost exclusively, to the fields
of fishing and fur bearing animals
and seals and it is only within the
last two decades that a realization
of its importance in other branches
lias reached the public mind.
The finding of auriferous gravel
deposits in the Forty-Mile and Six
ty-Mile districts a few years ago,
drew cursory atteution to Alaska,
but it was not until the discovery
of the fabulously rich Klondike plac
ers, with the resultant influx of
people of all nationalities and con
dition of life, that the importance
of the newly acquired territory be
came known.
Of the heterogeneous crowds that
ihe* lure of gold attracted to the
north, many .did not complete the
journey, but stopped at the points
of ingress and eirress to the interior
and engaged in commercial pur
suits. Towns, churches and school
houses were built aud homes estab-j
lished, and today iu the the shel
tered nooks and valleys on the Al
askan coast live happy, contended
and prosperous communities, sur
rounded with all the necessities and
many of the luxuries to which they
had been accustomed on the outside,
j In season they are supplied from
their own gardens with many vari
eties of vegetables, surpassed neith
er in size nor flavor lu the most
favored agricultural sections of the
south. Beautiful lawns are commou
and . flower beds, with a wealth of
varigated colors that draw exclam-1
atious of wonder and delight from |
transient visitors and tourists,
abound on every hand.
Have we not reason to be prond of
our achievements in a few short
years? And is it not meet that one
day in the year should be set asi'lo
for the proper celebration of tho
manifold blessings we enjoy? We
believe that it is and that each and
every one of us should lend our
support to a movement looking to
ward the adoption and perpetuation
of a custom that should appeal
alike to our sentimentalism and pa
triotism. By all means let each and
every one of us observe the anniver
sary of our American birth—"Alas
ka Day."
And we, in conformity with the
foregoing, shall observe it as a hol
iday and not issue the Daily Alns
kan on that date.

Mrs. Emeline Pankhurst, militant

left,Franco a few days ago for the
United States with the avowed In
tention of enlightening the people
of this country on the method of
English suffrage. Upon hearing of
Mrs. Pankhurst's intended visit,.the
United States Immigration Board at
New York took this matter up and
she will be detained when she lands
in.that city and an effort made to
deport her a3 an undesirable. In
speaking oil the above subject the
Westerner says:
"No good cat come to this coun
try out' of a visit trom Mra. Pank
hurst. We are militant enough at
the present time, as it Is, on every
conceivable subject under the sun.
Moreover, the women of this coun
try know how to win their canse,
and Mrs. Pankhurst doesn't. In a
recent tvnversatlon with a Mr.
Brown, representing extensive bum
inesa in. Edinburgh, he said that he
had always favored the woman vote,
but that the policy adopted by the
women in England had turned him
agalns tit, and that this policy had
created a like prejudice In the mlndsi
of most. Englishmen and Scotchmen,
against the movement. By any in
telligent line of reasoning It is im
possible for us to arrive at Mrs.
Pankhurst's. theory of violence In
the administration of her cause.
The hatchet wielding brigades of
Carrie Nation are the only examples
we have had of that sort of thing
in this country, and nobody more
than the Prohibitionists themselves
recognize the injuries Mrs. Nation
inflicted upon the Prohibition move
ment. As for the . suffragists of
this country, they have made wou
derful crusades, and they are win
ning their cause a;, a rate exceeding
the speed limit. And they are do
ing it in a manner to win the re
spect of their opponents, and to add
dignity to the enterprise. Without
doubt Mrs. Pankhurst Is not needed
in our midst."
THEY ALL DEMAND IT
Alaska, Like Every Section in the
Union, Receives It. . ,
People with kidney ills want to
be cured. When one suffers the
tortures of an aching back, relief
is eagerly sought for. There are
many remedies today that relieve,
but not permanently. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have brought lasting
results to thousands. Her« is proof
of merit from this vicinity:
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer. Room 6, Capitol Hotel Bldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "I had Kid-j
uoy trouble and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes I was laid up,
Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains
extended through my back and were
most severe in my kidneys and loins.
Often when working, I had to give
up. I lost weight and was in vtry
poor health. I had headaches, rest
ed but little at night and did not
know what to do.' On a friend's ad
vice I tried Doan's Kidney Pills
and to my surprise, they brought a
great Improvement in .'a few days. I
continued to get better steadily. I
got more sleep, my appetite improv
ed and the pains gradually, but
surely left me. After I had used
three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
I was in better health than I had
been for ten years and not a sign
of kidney complaint remained. The
cure had been permanent. I gladly
confirm the endorsement I gave
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
ago." !
