•i'rvdi of sacrifice.
Vs Pp-sident JFred Klinger, of
'ho merican Alli;uu*e, ex
presses it: • We feel like a man
»he must sharpen a knife for his
ui'\- io cut his mother's throat; it
without saying that we are
'■cutitl in honor to support this
cuun'ry loyally if worst comes to
wcrV." This from a citizen who
h:'s served in the United States
navy and now lias two sons in the
■:ovt;rnmeut service
.Mr. Klinger'a position is that of
thousands of citizens of German
birt:;, though there are many who
break trie bond of fatherland with
!p?3 xegr't. His comment sets
for'h, upt'n i whole, the posi
tion of the great body of Clerman
Auurieans in this ccuntry who are
wr-rthy of the considerate treat
men: o" ' fellow-citizens; who
have no such ties to sunder, as
uieu wlio are successfully; meetin^
the create, t test ot loyalty that
can he i laced upon a foreign-bora

and will wear well as an American

ot' his a ' ted country and defends
the o'd world empire? For him
t • hi" .i too pursue would
be to no longer accept the proteo

he renounces row gives him. He

just now, ho should go to Mexico,

""he visit to Seattle of Theodore
Brent, vice chairman of the United
states shipping commission, is lm
i rtanf to our industrial future. Th
federal government is to undertake
n-ooden ship construction on a
huge scale in the very near future,
and wha' Jlr. Brent reports to the
commission will have much to do
wita the sh;ire of this government
.work *hat 'lie Puset sound district
■will >-erea.ter undertake. Thq salp-^
"fa ■ '«. m. ■ r — »■
yards c.» Puget sound, oj Ihe
Oregon ani Washington, coast, are
adjacent to the greatest bodies of
standing timber in the country, and
hero must much of this work of
wood em ship construction be under
taken. . J !
Twenty-five to fifty million dol
lars, Dei naps more will undoubtedly,
ba expended by the federal goyern
meat in Pacific coast shipyards for
merchant ship construction. Tie
type o' vessel required, of 2,500 to
3,500 tons each, in siuch as to need
no yery great outlay for construc
tion 9quinment. Existing yards Will
have such shares of this business
as they can handle within & reason
able time, and no doubt a number
of now shipbuilding concerns will
cuter the field.
The government's entrance into
the 'ieM of merchant shipping will
be an encouragement to the Pacific
coast's new and Important indus
try, and, svitb the lai^e Tolume of
orders from private interests, will
assure uninterrupted) business for
years.—Seattle P.-I~
Americans must have no quar
rel with the German people in their
mills' so long 03 t he} deport them
seltes as good citizens.. When,
they do otherwise the laws ot our
country will take care ol them.
Many American citizens hare Ger
man names and German, accents.
Treat them as Americana until
thev shew J>x-- their owa acts that
they are not.—Ex.
At least Judge Jack Kesnnedy was
able to do more with that German
born merchant than Admiral Mayo
was able to do with the Huerrtistas.
He nc» only made the German sa
lute the tlag, hut he made him kiss
it and say tjiat he liked It.—Juneau

GUARDING THE COPPER
KlVEK VALLEY AND It. R.
Since a state of war was declar
ed. strong guards have been placed
on »he Copper Hirer railroad
bridges as the owners o£ the road
and the copper mines realize that
the Germans might bead their en
deavors to stop- the supply of cop
per whien is now so useful to the
allied tuitions, including the United
States. Om. each, of the Wff bridges
| of the road guards are kept working
eight-hour shifts at six dollars each
per day. Amongst the guards on
the Kuskalina bridge, by the way,
is Torn Holland, who was formerly
a member of the legislature.
OLD-TIMER PROTECT.
IN'G BEAVER COLONY
Out on the Knik trail to the Wil
low Creek mines road at Mil® 23 Vi
is ''its home of one of the finest
old-timers in Alaska—no other than
the well-known "Forty-Mile" Mil
ler. lle has a beautiful place on
the li*.tle Susitna river, good build
ings erected, and a fine farm start
ed.
•"Forty-Mile" may get a little bit
oeeve<i, but we hope not, when we
say tha; Ji*?ar his ranch—for some
unaccountable reason—the beavers
have selected a portion, of the flat
as a home, and there is. at that
poin' perhaps, one of the largest
beav-r colonies extant. And Mr.
Beavtr, when he selected "Forty
Mile" for a neighbor was wise for
his years.. No better friend, could
have been selected..
M. -Miller is a miner and not a
trapper. When the 'writer was there
last, a little over a year ago, Mil
ler showed us some st^el traps that
he .'ad found up near the beaver
dam. He stated that the owner
could have them, by calling at his
place but if he imagined that he
was going to get any leavers out of
that pend he had another guess
coming. • •
Mr. Miller told us that during the
oreviour summer he believed that
he had seen as many as a thousand
beav rs working on their project
at one time, and he had many in
teresting stories to tell oX tjie In
dustrious little animals and their
habi's.
If any one wants to go up there
and do some photographing next
summer we believe that it can be
arranged, but do not go there for a
specimen; that won't go. And all
this protection is given by an old
timer gratis to Uncle Sam.

COLDS AFFECT
THE KIDNEYS
Many Alaskan People Have Found
This to be True..
Are you wretched in Ix'd weather
Does every cold settle 011 your
kidneys?
Does your back ache and become
weak?
Kre urinary passages irregular
and distressing?
These symvtoms are cause to sus
pect kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Doau's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
Grateful oeople recommend them.
William C. RussqII, retired far
mer, 966 Valencia St., San Francisco
Cal. stys: "Many colds and duys of
long hours and straining work
caused my kidneys to give me a lot
of trouble. Pains seemed to settle
in tl> small of jny back and the
Buffering I endured ius terrible,
suffering 1 endured was terrible.
Every bit of strength left lue and
my kidneys acted too often, annoy
ing me at night. Doan's Kidney
Pills acted as a tonic to my kid
ney and proved of great benefit."
Price 50c, at a'l dealers. Don't
siraoly ask for a kidney remedy—
pef Doan's Kidiney Pills—the same
