All this, too, in the face of the fact that the JahnnAes beyond the creek had opened their bat teries and musketry on the columns then moving in the direction of the bridge, and numerous missiles found their way to disagreeable proximity to the spring.

 If the strife for possession of the spring previous to the advance had been , furious, it was now a thousand times worse, for around that bit of moisture surged a maddened, frenzied mass of bleeding humanity in all the conditions of wounds resulting from the fierce battle then raging less than half mile distant and consequent turmoil. So fierce was the struggle that they de- stroyed the spout, and the mad and fam ished men would rush forward if only to get Nand wet

This brought a reply from Confederate battery on the high ground beyond tine creek, and about the first gun from the other side settled the contention as to the value of the little stream, for a solid shot struck the en- bankment about foot above the outlet , of water, buried itself out of sight and shut off the water as completely as a faucet ever stopped the flow from the nozzle of hydrant.

The Commencement of Weiser
Academy will take place next week,
June IA to 10. 1t comprises vari-
ETY. of interesting occasions, which all
our citizens are cordially invited to
attend. The most significant of
these will be the laying of the corner
stone of the first college building on
College Hill. This will be not only
a unique occasion to many, but one
that signalizes movement of great
Importance to this town. 1t is the
first step in the erection of an institu-
ton which will be great factor in
our growth. Even during the past
year the Academy has been the means
of spending in this community about
Sc, 600, almost all of which has come
from the east. And this amount will
increase as the institution grows. The
location of the College may seem to
some little remote from the village !;
but the time is not far off when the
institution will be as near the bust
ness center as is desirable. Probably
arrangements will be made for year
or two to convey the students back
and forth between the village and the
school.
The Commencement exercises will
be held in the town hall on Thursday
evening. The program, which we
print herewith, is evidence that it will
be an occasion of great interest The
Academy Faculty cordially invites
the whole community:

supplies. One is already estab iished AT

From these two herding station it is
proposed to distribute deer in herds OF
100, with native herders, to the various
mission stations.
The commissioner states that a line OF
stations might he established along the
Yukon to the gold regions OF Forty Mile
Creek. II two herds Of 500 each could
be established at the two main distribute
ing points, experience has shown that the
annual increase OF these herds, il well
cared for. would am cunt to enough to
furnish three herds ger year Of 200 each
The commissioner says that with Alaska

hardy Eskimo and the enterprislng Ameri-
can would develop industries that would
amount to millions OF dollars annually
He says that school attendance in Alaska
