King Explains Bound ary Marking Prof. W. F. King, chief astronomer of Canada, who with O H. Tittman, superintendent of the United States coast and geodetic survey, will superin tend the marking of the Alaskan bound ary, says it will be marked with alum inum-bronze poots about two aid a half feet in height, specially manufactured for that purjiose. "We are taking a large Dumber of these posts north with us" said Prof. King to the Vancouver Province. '"They will be set at ha'f-mile intervals generally, except in some places in the valleys, where the line requires to be marked at closer intervals. As these posts will have to be erected in rock over a large portion of t he boundary line an ingenious arrangement of a forked base has been mai ?. When this base is set in holes drilled in the rock and firmly fastened in place with cement there is not much fear of the marking post being removed except by some very forcible means." Prof. King thinks it will take three seasons to complete the marking of the bound ry.

Heidon the appointment of a governor for Alaska, says the Seattle Times The fact that this is presiden tial year, and that the Alaska exhibit at the St. Louis fair is under the direc tion of the governor of Alaska, are held to be partially responsible for the de- j lay in settling the gubernatorial con t?t. A CASE OF IT y auy More Ltk- it in Alukan Citlti The following case is but one of many similar occurring daily. It is an easy matter to verify its correctness. Sure ly you cannot ask for better proof than such a conclusive evidence It. bennett, employed by the Dona hue Lumber Co., residing at 43!* South K street, Tacoraa, Wash., says: "For some time last fall I had considerable trouble from a lame and aching back. I paid little attention to it at first, but as time rolled by it kept getting worse. I was uncertain as to the cause, i am employed with the Donahue Lumber Co.. and my part of the work is what is called ratcher, set'ing the logs up to the saw. I thought the constant riding and jarring of the log carriage might have cause the trouble; be that as it mav, I felt the res ilt severely in my oack, particularly if I stooped, when I could scarcely straighten. Doan's Kid ney Fills came to my notice and 1 pro cured a box. Thev cured the dull, heavy aching in a very short time ami I was soon able to get about my work with my wonted vigor. I am sure if anyone is troubled from backache which arises from kidn y complaint they can depend upon Doan's Kidney Fills to cure it." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Returns to Com plete Alaskau Cable The Durnside has relumed to Seattle j to take up the work of completing the Alaska cable, the laying of which she ? commenced last fall. Id the Philippines the Huroside and her crew worked 48 days, having day and night shifts. It was necessary for her to do so, Capt. Lafllo states, in or- ; der for the vessel to get back in time to : complete the Alaska line, extending j from Skagway to Juneau, around by Sitka, and south to Seattle. The southern end of the cable, part of which is already laid, is now buoyed about 100 miles south of Sitka Thj rest of the cable necessary to the com pletion of this line is stored at Tacoma. for which port the Burnside will pro ceed the coming week and commence taking it on.
