.NO NORTH POLAR CONTINENT
la 1913 34i expedition set forth
fium the UuitiO States, headed by
Donald B. MacMillan, one ,of the
chief purposes of •which waa to ex
plore further a north polar contin
ent reported seen by Robert E- ;
Peary on his historic expedition#of
1906, when he gained the pole, and
which he .named Crocker Land.
Thouich MacMillan'a precise where
abouts at the present time.is un
known, an authentic message from
iiim and his associates, written. in
May, Jias just come to his backers
in tae United States. . In it he
makes clear that Admiral Peary was
deceived by an Arctic mirage, and
that the continent which was to
furnish him and other naturalists '
with him so much material and so
inurh fame does jii>f exist. The evi
deuce which the more thorough in
vestigation of the problem by Mac
Millan puts at the disposal of ex
perts in polar exploration is such
that it is h.irdly likely to be chal
lenged, and Admiral Peary is not
in a position to challenge it, even
i£ ht cared to do so, which is
doubtful, for his original announce
ment of the discovery was guarded.
eSvBCiu*
From tidal Indications and from
whai seemed to l*e dimly outlined
fori as ot distant mountains he in
ferred the existence of a region of
terra firm*. It is. in the Antarctic
or south polar regions that natural
ists with a tas'.e for adventure are
now getting Information indicating
condition which, tn the north, have
been proved mythical.
It is the go»od .fortune of all ex
plorers of tbj MacMillan type that
they; .can turn, with reasonable
hopes of encouragement to well
endowed and enterprising .societies
that exist to gather complete col
lections of the world's fauna, .flora
and like forms of wealth. Individual
patrons are not so steadily .devoted
to financing and equipping collect
ors as are societies of the rank of
the American Museum of Natural
History of New York city. Con
temporary explorers also have
this great advantage over men of
un earlier day; tltfv can assemble a
staff far higher in character and
in culture than the pioneers had to
aid them. The aids of the new
sort are efficient on the practical
side, and they have in addition a
wealth of special knowledge that
fits them to meet possible contin
gencies. ..

Ketchikan, June 21—The city
council has passed a protest to be
forwarded to Judge . Jennings
against two saloons in New Town,
known as the Seattle Bar,.owned by
Dave Brodius, and the Horeeehoo
Bar, owned by Jesse Platter.;
It is alleged that they have not
been conducted in a clean manner.
At the nest meeting of the coun
cil !t is likely that a midnight clos
ing ordinance will be passed !
There is considerable mining ac
tivity in the vicinity of this .place
at the present time, and the busi
ness men believe that another.year
or so will see important develop
ments in that line.
BRITISH GAIN
TRENCHES IN FRANCE
London, June 21—Smashing Brit
ish attacks Wednesday.carried many
German trenches at Labasse and
south of Neuve Chapelle. .The at
tacks completely surprised the en
emy because they followed a contin
uous German bombardment of 48
hours, and were preceded by a .ter
rific British cannonading of two
hours, with heavy guns which sil
enced the smaller German guns. The
attack was not looked for and the
British out-numbered their oppon
ents. I . i
ALLIES ARE HOLDING
THEIR OWN IN WEST
Loudon, June 21—The French,
according to accounts received late
Saturday night, are still holding
back terrific German assaults to the
north of Arras, where the French
have been making gains for weeks,
and have been compelled to fight
f-r their gains for two days against
furious plunging attacks.
The French now occupy positions
on three sides of Souchez, and.have
actually made gains in spite of the
German rushes. J

There 's a Hewp of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation
For months Alaskan readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
iead about the good work they
have done. What other remedy
vver produced such convincing proof
of merit?
Anthon" Miller, 4316 S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacoina, Wash., says:
' I had lameness across my kidneys
and Headaches and dizzy spells. 1
suffered from a constant backache
when on my feet. I tried .every
thing but got nothing that would
remove the trouble until Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended to
me. They quickly strengthened my
back and removed the lameness. 1
was sofln able to sleep well at night
and got up in the morning feeling
refreshed, instead of being more
tired than when I went to bed."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get .Doaji's Kidney Pills—the same

Haines, June 20—J. A. i Smith
had a narrow escape from drown
ing and losing his sis .horse team
in the Klehinl river last Monday.
He was returning from .Glacier
creek, where he had taken a load
of freight, and in.crossing the river
near the mouth of Porcupine creck,
th«. force of the currant washed
his trail wagon around upsetting
it, and it in .turn upset the lead
wagon also. Mr. Smith clung to
the wagon, and his leaders, having
obtained a solid footing, pulled the
rest of the outfit ashore. It was
certainly a.close call for Mr. Smith.
He eays he lost about fifty .dol
lars worth of stuff in the river.
W. B. Stout, made a business trip
to Porcupine Tuesday, returning
home on Wednesday. !
Marshal Harding went up to |
