"Ecrema broke out in small, red
spots around my neck and quickly
spread to my chest, arms and across
my shoulders. The itching and
burning were intense, and when I
scratched orrubbed.it, small, white
blisters formed.
"I was treated but got no relief. I
sent for a free sample of Cuticura

A Bit of Advice j
First—I>on't May. Second—Don't
Experiment.
If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest;
poorly and are lanpuid In the morn- I
ing: if tiie kidney secretions are ir ;
regular and unnatural ill appearance. ■
do not delay. In such cases the kid ■
neys often need help.
Ooan's Kidney Pills are especially 1
prepared for kidney trouble—tlioy
are recommended by thousands. Can
residents desire more convincing
proof than the statement of a citizen
of this locality?
Ceo. Xawottny, butcher, 1349 1
Grant St Belling;.am. Wash., says !
"1 suffered from lame back and kid-1
ney trouMe. At times wheu I stoop
ed I could hardly straig'.iten because
of the severe pains which caught me
in the small of my back. I was sub
ject to pains in the back of my head
and spells of dizziness and my kid
nevs didn't set right. 1 saw Ooan's j
Kidney Pills advertised in the paper :
a;;d one box knocked the pains out
of my back and head. They also rid
me of the dizziness and made my kid
neys well."
Price, tiOc, at all dealers. Don't •
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doau's Kidney Pills— the same that .

SOMMERS VISITS COLD BAY
AND SIZES UP CONDITIONS
R. J. Sommers, who returned from
an extended visit to the westward
Wednesday morning, spent some
time at Cold Bay and is confident
that It will prove to be a good oil
producer when developed. He con
firms what Isadora and Marion Gold
stein reported concerning conditions
there, but thinks the work •( drill
ing is certain to be started within a
few weeks.
As evidence of the existence of
oil, Mr. Sommers Bays that outfits
now getting drills and supplies on
their property are not taking In any
fuel but will burn oil-soaked peat
or tundra, of which there are vast
tracts created by the seepage of oil
for generations.
.Mr. Sommers says the climatic con
dition of the Cold Bay country re
mind him of Nome—windswept and
desolate. There Is not a stick of
wood in the country and all winter
drilling will necessarily be conducted
under cover, for which purpose lum
ber is being freighted from the
beach, a distance of upward of 15
miles. In the event of oil being
found in abundance, of which he has
no doubt, Mr. Sommers predicts a
big rush to the Cold Bay country.
INTERIOR CONDITIONS AS
SEEN' BY WHITTIER
M. S. Whittier, special customs in-1
spictor, arrived on the steamer
Queen Wednesday morning after an
extended trip which took him along
the west coast, to Anchorage, Fair
hanks and Nenana. the return being
mnde by the Yukon river via Dawson .
and Whitehorse. He visited the cus
toms post at Eagle on his way up the
Yukon river.
Mr. Whittier reports Fairbanks
and Nenana as being optimistic as to
the future, but says Tanana, Fort
Yukon, Circle and Eagle are but
memories compared with what they
orce were, the railroad having prov
ed a great boon to the two first men
tioned towns but a detriment to
the Yukon river towns owing to the
regular steamers being withdrawn
from the river when the railroad
w:is completed. The only hope for
t' e river points In question, ho says,
is for the government to either op
erate steamers or subsidize a private
concern to do it.
(•ame of all kinds, according to
Mr. Whittier, is abundant in the in
terior, caribou being seen at many
places on the Yukon. Small game is
also plentiful. He was In Fairbanks
when the frost hit that place late In {
August and says it was very much |
of a disaster. Owing to engine
trouble the steamer on which he
traveled up the river was ten days
between Tanana and Dawson.
AIR ROUTES IN ALASKA
SOLVE TRAVEL PROBLEM
Aviator C. 0. Prest passed through
Cordova last night, a passenger on
the Northwestern from Seward
Since the mishap on the flying ex
ploit from Eagle to Fairbanks, and
his rescue by a searching party from
the latter city, Mr. Prest has been in
the interior, principally at Eagle. He
is now on his way to New York to
purchase a new airship preparatory
to another flight effort in Alaska
next spring. Mr. Prest left his dis
abled. though not v/recked, airplane
lying among the niggarheads where
it cane to earth. Owing to the bulk
iness of the machine and the dif
ficulties of transportation in that sec
tion. the aviator found it Impracti
cable to salvage his ship. He walked
off and left It, he says, just as It
was. It is possible that the engine
may be removed and taken to Fair
banks during the winter by chance
freighters passing that way. Arrange
ments have been made by the avia
tor to cover such a contingency. Mr 1
Prest is undaunted in his determina-.
tion to make a cross-Alaska flight, |
and he hopes in the Spring to fly
from Fairbanks to Nome, thence
north to Point Darrow and back to
Fairbanks, making a circle of the
north westernmost portion of Alaska.
"The establishment of air routes
would solve the transportation
problem of Alaska, so far as pas
senger traffic and carriage of the i
mails is concerned." he said last
night. "It is certainly a matter of |
considerable importance that the 3?0 '
mile trip between Dawson and Fair
banks, which by the present meth-1
ods of travel repuires three uncom-1
fortable weeks, can be made by
airplane In a little over thr?e hours.
To people to whom time Is money,!
that is a pretty quick way of saving j
it. The carriage of freight, of course,
is not practicable. The expense would
not justify it. But over a country
as vast as tills and aa Impassable j
iii many places, the transportation
of mails and passengers by airplane
is the one practicable means of
travel."
"Airplane flight presents no great
er difficulties in Alaska thar. else
where, says Mr. Prest. The principal
problem is one of landings. But with
regular routes laid out, that diffi
culty is overcome, and the hazards
between are no more numerous than
in any other part of the world.
Mr. Prest says he prefers to fly
alone on his exploring flights. The
solitariness is more than compensat
ed for by the greater ease in handl
ing a machine burdened with less
weight. "Besides." he added, "the
one thing an aviator has to look out,
for is his engine. When someone |
else is taking care of it, he doesn't1
know just what condition it is in;
when he's looking after it himself,
he does." Mr. Prest prefers a wood-j
en plane to the metal ones, for,
lie says, "Wood splinters befora It
breaks; it gives you a chance to see
what's going to happen. Metal
doesn't. And besides, if the wood
breaks, you -can take a piece of
cracker box and some nails and
wire and patch it up; with metal
you can't."
