VlRtilN SOLL FOR OI K
DKLKUATK TO FLOW
If our delegate to co«ngress wishes
ro make himself popular with h&I
Alaska friends we wonder why he
could not extend his efforts to
gtttiua better mail service for many
of the interior camps and towns.
In Ruby, for inttajice, on las^
June 17, the citizens opened their)
mail to find Christmas cards and
gills for lyiti. In the same mail
rhe Kubjr News received an express
oackage which had been mailed in
New Yorte City last November.
This 1» virgin, soil for our dele

CALL TO THK COLORS
"Are you ready; California,
Arizona, Idaho?
'Come, oh, come, unto the colors!'
Heard you not the bugle blow?"
Falls a hush in San Francisco
In the bu^jr hives of trade;
In the vineyards of Sonoma
Fall the pruning knife and 3pade;
lu the mines of Colorado
Pick and drill are thrown aside;
Idly- in Seattle harbor
Swing the merchants to the tide;
And a million mighty voices
Throb retpenaive like a drum,
Rolling from the rough Sierras,
"You have called us and we
come."
—Arthur) tiuiterman.

SHORTAGE OF TOOLS
IN MAT AN U SKA FIELDS
A shortage of tools, including
even the common coal pick, caused
by the steel plants devoting their
energies to war orders, makes it dif
ficult to mine coal with any speed
in the Matanuska region. The gov
ernmen; has lately taken over the
operation of some of these fields
and is shipping coal as fast as it
can be mined.
Th» Alaska Engineering commis

the miners including bath and show

siftsoea kidney weakness.
.Weakened kidneys 'need quick
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidueys.
Grateful people reccomend them.

er, 966 Valencia St., San Francisco,
Cal., says: "Many colds and days ol
lone hours and straining work
cau£» 1 my kidneys to give me a lot
of 'rouble. Pains seemed to settle
in tne small of my back and the
suffering "I endured was terrible.
Every bit of strength left m© and
my kidneys acted'too often, annoy
lu," ai» at night. Doan's Kidney Pill
acted as a tonic to my kidneys and
prov-'i of great benefit."
