THE lNNUlT RACE.
Peculiar People Who Live on the Coast
Line of Alaska Territory.

Peculiar People Who Live on the Coast
Line of Alaska Territory.
The Innuit race of people, commonly
and also corruptly called Eskimos, occu-
py almost the entire coast line of Alaska,
with the numerous outlying islands
from the boundary line westward along
the arctic coast to Boring strait; thence
southwark to the Alaskan peninsula,
over the peninsula and the Aleutian is
lands, and eastward and southwark along
the coast to Mount st. Elias, with the
exception of comparatively small ter
ritory at Cook inlet, and also at the
mouth of Copper river, at which points
the Tinneh tribe of Indians from the
interior have forced their way to the
coast. Living constantly on or near the
sea, they from infancy have not the
slightest fear of the dangers of the deep,
and at an early age become bold navi-
gators and skilled fishermen and sea
hunters.
The word "innuit'' in their native
tongue signifies people, and as such is
used by them to designate those of their
own race as our people. Eskimo" is a
word of reproach and has been given
them by their neighbors, the term mean
ing "raw fish EATERS The Innuits of
Alaska are physically much superior to
those inhabiting the eastern side of the
continent, i'll Greenland and Labrador
They are all Of the same race and speak
a common language through each local
ity, and often each village from the At
lantic to the Pacific will possess a dia-
lect distinctively its own. Those of our
territory are tall and muscular, not
few Of them being 6 feet in height.
They have small, black eyes, high cheek
bones, large mouths, thick lips, coarse
brown hair and fresh, yellow complex
ions. In many instances men will be
seen with a full beard and mustache,
and in some particular families their
manly beauty is further enhanced by
wearing a labret below each corner of
the mouth in hole cut through the
lower lip for the purpose. They are q
good natured people, always smiling
when spoken to, and are fond of dane
ing, running, jumping and all athletic
sports. News.

RObbcr Gulls of the Pacific,

"Out on the Pacific coast great deal
of amusement is furnished to people of
an observant disposition, said l.. G.
Gardner of Grays Harbor, Wash, "by
awalk along the seashore. For instance,
there is the robber gull, one of the most
graceful of birds, which always follows
the pelican. The latter is an expert at
catching fish, which it sees from a
great height, diving with the swiftness
of a bullet and seldom missing it's prey
But after getting the fish i'll its huge
beak with the pendent sack it is unable
to handle it readily and always throws
it in the air, catching it in it's pouch,
which answers the same purpose as a
soldiers haversack. That is the gull's
opportunity. The instant the fish leaves
the beak of the big bird the robber
swoops down with the swiftness of the
wind, and before the fish reaches the
distended jaws of the pelican it is snap
ped up, and the pelican is left far behind,
looking foolish. Pursuit is useless, for
the pelican is a heavy fiier, while the
gull is one of the swiftest of the feath-
cred race. ''-Denver Republican.

OSTRICH HUNTING.
Profitable Sport That is Making the Az
rican Birds Scarce.
An ostrich chase is very attract

An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport, or rather the sale of booty is so
great as to attract hunters. The Arabs
give themselves to it with real passion.

try as much as possible to fatigue the

very strong legs 10 possesses quickness

fend itself with its feet and wings, but
more often it still strives to escape by
night, uttering plaintivc cry. In fact,
the ostrich is deprived of the power of
flight by reason of its great size. The
muscular force with which nature has
endowed it is not equal to lifting such
a weight Its peculiar organization has
it is able to quickly traverse the almost
imitless eXpanse.
The Arab knows very well that it is
the habit of the ostrich to make great
detours about its nest i'll a circle. He
chases it, then, without ceasing until it
is almost there, when, worn out it sue
cumbs, concealing its head in the sand
in order not to see its enemy, Or in
stinctively hoping to escape a danger
which it cannot see any more. This
chase requires eight Or ten hours, but it
offers large rewards. The plumes are
worth a considerable sum, the skin
makes good leather, and the Arabs are
very fond of the flesh. Besides, in spite
of the fact that it reproduces its species
rapidly, the ostrich is all the time be-
coming rarer, and it is hunted for ex-
port and domestication in other coun-
tries. 1t is one of Africa's great re-
sources and may become new source
of prosperity to Algerians if they are
willing to make the effort. The point of
the popular saying, "the stomach of an
ostrich, has been confirmed recently by
an autopsy on one, doubtless for time
captive, when the following was found
in its stomach: A parasol handle, two
keys, two great pieces of coal, glove,
a handkerchief, pair of eyeglasses, a
ring, comb, three large rocks, the necks
of two beer bottles, the sole of shoe, a
bell and little harmonicon.- IL

VERMONT'S ROAD PROJECT.
A Plan Has Been Discussed to Build High
1yaxs Mt the State,s Exnense

A Plan Has Been Discussed to Build High
ways at the States Expense.
Good roads came in for considerable
discussion at the session of the Vermont
legislature recently ended. DR.. W. Sew
ard Webb proposed a plan for develop
ing the state by means of state high
ways.
In general way his project provides
for the construction by the state of an
elaborate system of highways. Persons
familiar with the topography of YER
mont will recall the fact that extend
ing lengthwise nearly north and south
through the state are two ranges of
hills, or mountains. and practically
three valleys. DR.. Webb proposes to run
broad state highway through each of
the three valleys and connect these high
ways with as many lateral roads as may
be found necessary.
This work will, of course, cost large
amount of money. The scheme involves
the bonding of the state to pay the ex-
penses of Improvement. The plan has
not yet been matured, but those who
have studied it feel confident that it
will appeal to the business sense of the
people.
Inaccessibility has always stood in the
way of the commercial growth of man
fertile and resourceful sections of the
state. The state highway idea is likely
to be leading topic of discussion in
the next legislature.

ECONOMY IN HIGHWAYS.
The Cheapest Road Is One That Is Always
Easily Traversed.

Inc Cheapest Road Is One That Is Always
Easily Traversed.
Constant dropping wears away
Stones" and it is only by constant re-
minders by the press that the public
mind can be brought to the sensible con-
clusion that good roads are among
Americas essentials, remarks the West
Chester pa. Republican. They are not
merely wheelmen's wants, but wants
demanded by the comfort and conven-
fence of everybody. 1t does not by any
means follow that because a man has
not team of his own or does not ride
a wheel he has not direct personal
interest in the Improvement of roads.
European countries have long recognized
their merits and for centuries in some
portions have enjoyed their benefits.
We in America have only begun to ap-
preciate-and mainly in the immediate
vicinity of large cities-their great i'm
portance.
The Importance of the subject de-
mands a much wider spread feeling of
interest. While the area of the United
States is too immense and the popula
ton too sparse to hope for many years
to come for general good roads sys-
tenn, yet great progress can be made in
sections OF the country where farmers
are prosperous and where they have
occasion to use roads to considerable
extent in order to get the products of
their farms to railroad stations for ship
ment to large cities and towns.
Were it possible to estimate the dollar
and cent extra cost for repairs to wagons
and carriages, the wear and tear Of
horse, mule and OK flesh over wretched
roads, and the delays caused in winter
by their impassability. the aggregate
would be startling and would, we feel
assured, reach sum far in excess
of what would be needed to provide
good roads and keep them in good con
dition. And if to the economy referred
to be added the increased value of prop
erty and, last but not least, the comfort
of farmers and their families, there
would be overwhelming argument in
favor of immediate action. The work is
stupendous one, when viewed as a
whole, but, beginning once made and
the advantages clearly demonstrated,
there would be steady Improvement.

For Farmers to Settle.

The vital question is for the farmers
themselves to settle generally whether
they want good roads and whether they
will accept the help of those who are
willing and anxious to join in paying
the cost of road improvement. If they
will take up the subject in all their or
CARNATIONS and appoint active working
committees to visit the nearest accessi-
BILE localities where good roads prevail
and to urge such legislation as will
make them attainable everywhere, the
work will soon reach a point where its
own momentum will carry it forward.

Pennsylvania Farmers Want Good Road.

Pennsylvania Farmers Want Good Roads.
1t is one of the interesting evidences
of the progress of a good idea that some
of the most pronounced declarations
that have been made in favor of vigor-
GUS action for road Improvement by the
Pennsylvania legislature come from ag-
ricultural sources. One or two promi-
nent opponents of road improvement in
former legislatures have been conspicu-
ously elected to stay at home A very
active supporter of road improvement in
Westmoreland made his fight for cleo
ton on road legislation for the rural
districts, won his election and is now
preparing to press measure that will
stimulate the construction of permanent
and solid roads in all the counties that
have enterprise enough to conform to its
provisions. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Poor Roads Tax.

The estimate of the secretary of the
farmers national congress, that $780,
100000 is wasted annually in this coun-
try through bad roads, is supported by
that of other statisticians, and from this
it appears that the tax they impose takes
one-quarter of the whole value of all
farm products in the United States.

- LOCAL MENTION.
c. D. WATSON,
Secretary.


Andrew Johnson was found in the alley
by McCurdy's barn last night by PATROL
man Hicks. He was lying motionless on
the stone pavement. Patrolman Hicks
lighted several matches to see if the man
was dead or simply drunk. The man had
pulled his trousers off and lain down, pro-
badly thinking, in his drunken stupor
that he was lying in his bed at home
Two other officers helped Hicks carry the
dead man to police headquarters after
he had been properly clothed. The charge
of drunkenness was put against him.
The police today picked up 13-year-old
boy who ran away from his home in
Kansas City, Mo. His name is Ed Fer
guson. and he is son of N. r. Fergu-
son, a telephone 1ineman who lives on the
east side in Kansas City. When taken
to the police station the boy sat down and
began reading a sporting column in
Kansas City morning paper. He was
neatly dressed. He rode to Topeka on a
freight train.

AFTER KETCHAM'S WEALTH
Minnie Wallace Walkup Would EX-

Clubman's Strongbox.
KETCnMAN'S KlNSPE0PLE PROTEST
Case Complicated by Strong Suspicion
That the Frisky Widow Married
Her Butler in Milwaukee Instead
of the Clubman.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE relatives of the
late John B. Ketcham will contest his will
if such will be in existence on the ground
that he was not only unsound in mind at
the time he may have signed it, but for
ten months previous.
Ketcham's two brothers and two sisters
will deny that their brother was legally
married to Minnie Wallace Walkup. They
claim that he was entirely incapable of
making any kind of a contract at the
time of the alleged marriage, or indeed
for nearly year previous.
Attorney James e. Purcell, who has
charge of the case for the Ketchams, has
served notice on the Illinois Trust &
Savings bank to restrain Mrs. Walkup
from having access to the safety box in
which the dead clubman kept his securi
ties.
Mrs. Walkup's butler, Joe Keller, 40
cording to his story, accompanied John
B. Ketcham and Mrs. Walkup to Mil.
waukee, on September "a, and was a wit
meas to the ceremony which made th:m
man and wife.
Rev Mr.. Roberts of Milwaukee, who
performed the ceremony, opens up rather
startling possibilities by saying, when
shown photograph of Keller, that The
picture much more resembled the man he
married to Mrs. Walkup than did the pic
ture of John B. Ketcham.
Several of the butler's prominent fea
lures, including small moustache, which
was nov peculisrity of Mr.. Ketcham,
were carefully noted by Rev. Mr.. Roberts
as common to both Keller and the BRIDE
groom of September "a.
Butler Keller has disappeared, Police
believe that he left the city in order that
no words of his may involve Mrs Ketcham
in further trouble.
