HOW DONE
1'rof. 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.

May Put Off Governorship
No immediate action is expected by
John G. 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."

TO BEGIN
Bnrusid? 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.
The Uurnside, it is believed, will be- .
gin the work of actually laving the ca- .
ble in about one month.
