observed allectionateiy fondling their

their offspring in their arms with ali
the apparent pride OF THEN white
brethren. The women generally do
the trading and bargaining in dispos-
ing OF furs and in other transactions.
When an Indian offers furs for sale,
and the price has been arranged be-
tween him and the purchaser, his
llootchman or squaw can veto the
transaction, and has to be consulted
before the trade becomes final The
Indians are never in a hurry to- con-
clude bargain, those from Il dis
tance often remaining at a trading
post for weeks, holding out for a most
trihing advance ON the price offered.
They are shrewd traders, and the
amounts agreed upon for the differ
ent kinds Of furs seem very high to
an uninitiated on-looker. The pur-
chasers would lose money on the
goods if they paid coin. The Indians
shrewdness manifests itself only in
securing the promise of a high price
They do not want money, but desire
articles out Of the store. Their igno-
rance of what these cost the dealer
leaves them a prey to the more intel
ligent but less honest white traliicker.
These Indians are industrious, will
lingly embracing opportunities Of
earning money by working for it. II
they are not a doomed race by rea-
son of liquor and contact Of depraved
whites preventing their reclamation
from heathenism, in the coming de:
velopment Of the resources of Alaska
they will be a valuable factor as
"hewers of wood and drawers Of wa

cozy barn-sllch cozy barn!-and
money in the bank. And when /
looked at the ugly cid farm house,
