The railroads are of the opinion
that of the closing of the Seattle fair
will reduce the paBsenger traffic to
this coast tut little. The people have
got into tlie habit of coming west and
special ratea and special attractions
'will make little difference. We are

coast but the territory is so large

Every parent should make a spec
ial study of the county high school
propoHitlon. This is especially true
of the rural districts. They can send
their children to some point in the
valley much cheaper than they can
send them abroad It simply meanB
that a county high school would re
sult in about double the number of
children becoming educated that are
now, This Is worth thinking about.

today . with the United Press, Dr.
Cook announced that he will again
brave the hardships and death in lead
lng another expedition to the summit
of Mount McKlnley, for the purpose
of recoverelng the records that he
left there on hla former trip. Cook said
thut it would take him two months to
complete his arrangements for mak
ing the trip and three months to
reach Alaska. He says that he will

for themselves." '

Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body
Hake You 111, Languid
And Depressed. .
Sick kidneys weakea the body
through the continual drainage of life
giving albumen from the blood Into
the urine, and the substitution of pois
onous uric acid that goes broadcast
through the system, sowing the seeds
ot disease. Loss of albumen causes
weakness, languor, depression. Uric
poisoning causes rheumatic pain, ner
vousness, nausea, cricks in the back,
gravel and kidney Btones. The proper
treatment la a kidney treatment, and
the best remedy Is Doan'a Kidney
Pills. Here is good proof in the fol
lowing testimonial:
James M. Johnson, Main st, Union,
Ore., says: "I can heartily recom
mend Doan'a Kidney Pills, as I knew
they are a reliable remedy for kidney
complaint Constant standing
brought on my kidney trouble and I
suffered Intensely. A customer first
recommended Doan'a Kidney Pills to
me, saying that they had been the
means of saving his life. I was In
duced to try them and In a short time,
I was convinced that they lived up
to representations. I have used Doan'a
Kidney Pills on several occasions
since then and hav always received
prompt relief '
