Delegate Chas. A Sulzer is in Ju
neau and very apropos to the occa
sion la an open letter published in
tin* Daily Alaska Dispatch which
asks Mr. Sulzer to answer certain
•fijecifie questions. Question num
ber 7 ox tha letter is one which
aa* been puzzling the minds oi j
many Alaskans for some time aad'
w# await with, expectancy .Mr. Sut
ler's answer to it. It reads:
"Under the federal law $100
wor'h of assessment w ork lias to be
done annually on each Association
Placer claim in Ala.-ka. According
to the provisions of Section 3, j
Chao'er lu, Session Laws of Alaska,
1S15, which Mr. Sulzer helped to
pass, $100 worth, of work must be;
done annually on each 20 acres of
any Association Placer claim. Which
1* effective, the Federal law, of
tfectioa 3, Chapter 10, of the Ses
sion lawg of 1915?"
Referring to the law authorizing
foreign vessels to engage in coast
wiae shipping, the writer asks:
2. "Whether he made any effort
to urereut the ameudtnent of this
**t which excepted Alaska from its
operation?"
4 "Whether h<S knows that trans
portation facilities in Alaska are
luadtquate, and that in the past
f«w months large quantities of
fresh fish have spoiled for lack
thereof?"
5. "Whether he knows that the
I'ni cd States is engaged in a pa
triotic campaign to save beef, mut
ton and pork, and every pound of
fresh fish we can get to the States
will aelp toward that end?"
(JRKATEST AID FROM PRESS
Senator William Alden Smith of
Michigan has a keeu appreciation
of the services rendered by the
newspapers of the country when they
contributed advertising space to
•el] tie Liberty Bonds. In his
opinion nothing contributed so
muca to the success of the loan as
tl>e generosity of the country's
periodicals. That fact is realized by
the Treasury Department, and pre
parations are now being made to
spend a great sum of money on
advertising to place the next loan.
Senator gmiUi feels confident that
Ue results obtained will fully war
rant tb« expenditure.

ON THE JOB
FOR ALASKA
Washirgton, Nov. 12. — James
Wickersham, contestant for the «eat
of delegate! from Alaska tfn Con
gress, is still active la the "Alaska
freight rates" investigation, prhich
was heard by the Interstate Com
merce Commission last summer. Mr.
Wickersham today; 'lied a petition
for a rehearing in the matter, and
based his plea for reconsideration
of the case on the fact that de
mans for copper fcaye been greatly
increased since the entrance of the
United States into the war, and al
leging that discriminating rates are
in force preventing numerous email
copper producers from working
their property, thus diminishing the
T>ocsible outuut.
Copper production in the terri
tory is now greatly curtailed, Btates
Wkkersham's petition for rehear
in#, and the Copper River and
Northwestern railroad, and the
White Pass and Yukon railroad, are
blamed.
It is chargd that the Copper
River road is a subsidiary of the
great Kennecott copper corpora
tion aiid that this company charges
exorbitant rates to small producers
so that they cannot afford to mine,
and »nip their ore. The high rate
it is pointed out, does not pre
vent the big company from ihip
Diug, as the railroad and mine in
terest are said to be one and the
same; no matter what rate is charg
ed it amounts to talcing the money
out of one pocket and putting it
back into another.
Wichersfcam also asks that the
Commission regulate the rates now
being charged by the White Pass
and Yukon road.
The fact that the nation's war
industries are in need of copper,
moved the petitioner to ask for a
re-opening of the caae. On first
consideration, the Commission did
not sustain most of the complaints
that transportation facilities In the
North were dominated by certain
large mining interests.
Alaska merchants who appeared
before tho Commission's representa
tive in the hearing held last sum
mer, maintained that they were
discriminated against by transporta
tion loniDanies in favor of mining
and cannery interests. Judge Wick
ersham led the investigation and »c
companisd the Commission's agent
on his tour North, collecting evi
dence in the case.
ALASKA SPRUCE WILL
BE SOLD BY THE 1*. S.
A block of spruce timber con
taining 6,780,000 feet, board meas
ure, of spruce and 5,000 feet of
heinlcck lying along the north sbore
of Heceta island on the Tongrass
national forest, Alaska, will be sold
for not less than $2.25 a thousand
feet for spruce, and 50 cents per
thousand for hemlock, according to
an anncuncement from District
Forester George H. Cecil, at Port
laud.
The spruce is said to be unusually
good quality for the rgeion and
will cut out a fairly large percent
age of lumber suitable for airplane
construction. The tract embraces
about 334 acres. I
There are a number of sawmills
in Alaska cutting airplane spruce
from stumpage purchased from the
government. Only, a small percent
age of the lumber from any spruce
tract is suitable for aircraft con
struction, because of the specially
high grade of lumber required.
Although there are more than
20,000,000* acres of government
land included In the Tongraes and
Chtigach national forests in Alaska,
the receipts from the sale and use
of forest resources are considerably
in excess of the oast of administra
tion. Because of the unusual de
mand for airplane material the
spruce forests of Alaska are attract
ing more attention than ever before.

Oh! My Back!
The Expression of Mmiy a Kidney
Sufferer.
A stubborn, backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflamed and swollen,
stooping brings a sharp twinge iu
the small of the back that almost
takes the breath away. Doan's Kid
ney Pills revive sluggish kidneys—
relieve aching backs. Here's con
vincing proof of merit.)
Mrs. M. Holmes,, 1016 Indiau St.,
Bellingham, Wash., says: "For quite
awhile I had a dull, heavy (ache
across the small of my back. Often
when I straightened after stooping
■haru rains seized me in my sides.
X had terrible headaches and dizzy
spells and my kidneys didn't act
regularly. In tie morning 1 was
always tired and worn out. After
I had used one box of Doan's Kid
ney Fills I could 6ee they were
help Jug me. My back got stronger
and my kidneys acted regularly."
(Statement given October 6,
1913.) |
On July 31, 1916 Mrs. Holmes
said: "My opinion of Doan's j Kid
ney Pills hasn't changed. I have
always received splendid results
from them."
