NOKTHKKN (i.VMK H«HiS
The reports that tourists ami
others little interested in the devel
opment of the Northland are slaugh
tering game by the wholesale in
the vicinity of Scolai pass deserve
the careful attention ot the Cana
dian as well as the American offic
ials. Game in that region wanders
to and fro across the boundary line,
and belongs lo this side as much
as to the oth?r. Miners in that
section have hardship® enough to
endure to get their supplies into
the remote local'tv without haviug
to see the food supply which nature
has provided kit'ed by oppulent auti
heartless kid-gloved nomads. But
for the abundance of wild meat in
that district this summer, many
hardy frontiersmen who stampeded
to the uew diggings would have
perished. If : lie game be kineu
this year, those who go to the camp
another season may have to endure
untold privation.
The White River district is not
aloue in need of protection. Big
game hunters come into other par's
of the territory They kill many
fine specimens of large animals. The
licenses may bring soaie revenue,
but it is a bagatelle compared to the
benefits the meat must be to the
men who remain in the land year
in and year out, working with ev
ery ounce of energy and every cent
invested to develop and make this
a land of permanent wealth and
homes. If any foreigners or tour
ists come to hunt, they should be
compelled 10 consume o"r marker
fore their rifles. The Northland
fore their riflse. The Northland
has too many hardships to endu*e
to sacrifice its life-saving food sup
ply for the edification of an army
o' knickerbocKered dudes whose
highest aim is to return to some
pink tea soiree and prate over their
prowess as murderers of noble beast
ot' the forest. Such depraved hu
manity had belter confine its occu
pation to clearing out the gaugs of
gunmen of ill-reeking Goham and
the hellish hordes of white slavers
that threaten I he social fabric of
their home society. Or, if the task
of gunning for such ugly brutes iu
their own midst is too manly an oc
cupation for the truculent renegades
they might be assigued to a detail
in the Mexican or Bulkan slaughter
pens, where til her side will give
thciu ample opportunity to do lit lie
"real shooting while their own car
casses will have to staud a fair sho
of belug punctured.
Alaska and Yukon can get on
without the game hogs, and the
sooner they are made to know the
fact the better. Legitimate hunters
will be welcomed, but those who
want to make shambles of the hills
and leave game to rot, deserve a
stiff term behind the bars.

A young American singer return

after a successiuul career abroad
and announced that she was not
only in search of further honors
in her own country but she also de
sired a husband. With the latter
statement sho coupled the proviso
that none but uu American need
apply. Taking it for granted, of
course, that the annoucement wrs
not made for advertising purposes,
we are afraid she has not been a
close observer, for there are bad
husbands here as well as elsewhere
However, as one woman put it,
"the American husband is the best

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,
l but not permanently. Doan's Kld
i uey Pills have brought lasting
results to thousands. Hero is p#oof
of merit from this vicinity:
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer, Room 6, Capitol Hotel Bldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "I had Kid
ney 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 very
poor health. I had headaches, rest
ed but little at night and did not
i 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
i surely left me. After I had used
three boxes of Doan's Kiduey Pills,
! I was iu 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 tho endorsement I gave
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
ago."
