Or, recently discovered some remark
able hieroglyphics about 10 miles north
east from the north end Of Warner val
ley ON the edge of what is locally known
as the desert" in Lake county. Mr..
Whittemore says the hieroglyphics had
been cut with sharp instrument in the
surface of the hard basaltic rock. They
cover the face of the bluff for distance
Of about three miles and consist Of pic
lures Of Indians with bows, arrows and
spears, besides deer, antelope, dogs and
wolves, geese. ducks, swans and reptiles
ofvarious kinds Intermingled with these
animals are characters which, Of course,
he could not decipher. He says that the
execution of the pictures was very good,
and ne is satisfied that it could not
have been the work Of ordinary Indians.
Throughout the entire distance the char
acters and pictures are in rows
The Indians of the vicinity have no
knowledge of the meaning of the HERO
glyphics or OF the people who ages ago
chiseled them ON the surfcce of the
rocks From the description given, the

The INNuIT RACE.
A Peculiar People Who Live the Coast
Line OF Alaska Territory.

a Peculiar People Who Live On the Coast
Line OF Alaska Territory.
The Innuit race of people, commonly
and also corruptly called Eskimos, occu-
by almost the entire coast line of AlaskA,
with the numerous outlying islands
from the boundary line westward along
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 a comparatively small ter
ritory at Cooks 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 cur 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 iDhabitinR the eastern side of the
continent, in Greenland and Labrador.
They are all Of the same race and speak
q common language through each local
ity, and often each village from the At
lantic to the Pacific will possess dia-
lect distinctively its own. Those Of our
territory are tall aud muscular, not q
few of them being 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 viii be
seen with full beard and mustache,
and in some particular families their
manly beauty is further enhanced by
wearing labret below each corner Of
the mouth in a hole cut through the
lower lip for the purpose They are q
good natured people. always smiling
when spoken to, and are fond Of dano-
ing, running, jumping and all athletic
sports. Alaska News

tween Main and Cary. The fire start
ed in the large tobacco factory of J.

reprisers. How it originated no one is
able or willing to tell, but its general
ly supposed that Goals must have fall
en- to the door from the red-hot stove
after the factory closed. Much excit-
ment was created so much so that an
old colored lady (whose name we fail
ed to get, but is a mother of Mrs.
Charlotte Harris, a member OF the
Women's League) living opposite the
factory was rendered speechless and
afterwards unconscious; the effect
from which she died Sunday morning.
