TIE NEWS MAN AFL0AI. A Trip to the Gate City of the Porcupine. The FIosie and Her Crew. Dog
 Salmon. Pluck
 and Enterprise.
A FUTURE GREAT CITY,
pr. scundoo No More-Judge ScundOO Now He Shows the News Han How an Indian Doctor Cures His Patient.

For months past when the News man went down to the wharf to see Capt. Tibbitts pull out for Skagway and way ports we were asked, well, when are you going up with us?" We stood this until last Friday morning, we could stand it no longer, and with small grip and good macintosh as our on- ly baggage, we boarded the magnificent little steamer for the North.
 Capt. Tibbets and, in fact, the whole crew have been having a pretty hard time oft on the Skagway run. The Flosie is prime favorite, but not more so than the jolly, good natured Cap tain and his crew, and with the freight and passenger business they have been doing, they sometimes forgot to sleep, or, if they did not forget it, they didn't get much of the "great restorer" any how.
 At Treadwell stop is made and Supt. Corbus was at the wharf to bid the boat good bye, Mir. Willis was checking up his way bills while others were loading on a big cargo of freight from the great Treadwell store. It was all hustle around there, but soon the let go whistle sounded and the Flosie started for the North.
 We rounded up the crew to find out if any changes had occurred since we were on the Flosie last. l.. Lylund is still with the ship as first officer. Capt Tibbitts could hardly get along with. out him. Axel Fast is now the chief engineer. Everybody knows and likes him. c. M. Toombs does the double duty of steward and cook and he is a good one. He came from way back East to hunt gold. He will probably try to find some of it in the hills next spring. The table on the Flosie is oi the very best. Lowroy Korcharin, who has run on about every boat that ever stuck her nose into Alaska waters, is on the Flosie now as second officer. Ii was long time before we found out il Lowrey was man or boy. He looks like the latter, but has the age and ex perience of the former.
 It was about five hours run to Der ners Bay where the mail and a cargo o. freight was unloaded on some barges Our stop was a short one at this place There is a wharf there, but it is no

rattIes. images and such other trinkets as we would call curios, and with hat and mask that would fright en a Sioux chief, he commenced dan cing and snorting around the nude and prostrate form of his patient. The totem was much in evidence during this time, but after few days of great physical and mental anguish, the doctor changed modeof treatment and took small rock, the shape of an Indian stone hatchet. and he would dance around his victim for while and then pound her on the ribs with the stone and other wise torture the poor thing until at the end of some ten days she was nearer dead than alive. Of course we are not describing all the Doctor did, but be- fore the evil spirit was driven out the woman died. It came to the knowl- edge of the authorities that the Doc tors patient had gone hui, and the grand jury indicted him, and after trial and a verdict of guilty, he was sent to the penitentiary for two years, At the end of his term he returned to Haines, but some of the indignant na- lives would not let him land, and he went up to Dyea where he remained for some time, but he afterwards re- turned to Haines, where he has resided ever since. In our former trip to that city we wrote up the Judge, and of course we were anxious to meet him. Our wishes were made known to our friend MT. Bales.
 "Oh, I will fix that all right. I want you to meet the ex.doctor, sure," was his reply.
 And meet him we did, for it was not long until the Doctor, or we should say the Judge, stepped into the room.
 We advanced to the center of the room and shook hands with him. He then stepped back one step and saluted by raising his right hand to his head, then across to the left and back and then, in most graceful manner, made a very low bow. When we say graceful we mean all the word implies, for really the Doctor is a veritable Chesterfield. The Judge took seat on the south side of the room while we resumed our position on the north, where we had a fine view of the most notorious native in all Alaska.
 The Judge is of doubtful age, but we should estimate it at seventy. His face is round, with regular features, blue eyes, which are slightly red and watery' He is a trife below the medium height and weighs probably about 150 pounds. His hair, as stated, is red and he wears light thin mustache. A common cap adorns his head and he wore a blue overcoat with trousers that had seen their best days. On his left foot he wore a moccasin and on his right arub- Der boot.
 A short time ago the Judge left in charge of MT. Bales what we.will call a totem. It is the image of person carved out of piece of cedar and, ex- cept in size, resembles totem pole. This totem is nine and one-half inches long exclusive of the handle which is seven and a quarter. It is two and one

half inches wide. 1t is hideous look inc thing, and the Judge informed the writer that he had that totem in his possession for AT years, and number of Indian doctors had used it before his time, so that this surgical instru, ment is from one to two hundred years old. This totem that we have been de- scribing was hanging on the wall when the Judge entered the room. An ln- terpreter being present MT. Bales asked that he show us how he used the totem in his practice when he was still an h. dian doctor He finally consented to do so. but first requested that a cer- tain man leave the room. The obJec- tionable person had aided in prosecut- ing him when he was sent to the pen aud of course the party withdrew. In few minutes the sixteen year old daughter of the Judge entered the room to act as his interpreter and the show was about to begin.
 The girl first stated that what he was about to do was not to practice as a doc- tor, but just to show us how he used to do. We all assented to this with the proper mods, after which a collection of a nickel apiece was ordered to be taken and then, a pan of water was called for, which the Doctor took and set on the floor The money was also laid on the floor near the pan. An alleged sick man was deemed necessary and one ot the audience laid down on the floor. The doctor Topped the alleged sick man over on his back and having pre- viously taken off his overcoat, he was ready for business, but again he told his interpreter to say to those present that he was no longer practicing his profession. The doctor was thinking of the two years he spent in the pen and he evidently did not want any more of it. My spirit as doctor is all gone," said the judge, wishing to still further impress us that he was no longer practitioner.
 The doctor then took the totem in his hand. He looked at it in most sorrowful manner and turning to his interpreter said: "My spirit as doctor is all gone, but if you look at this, holding up the totem, it will help you I have had this forty-seven years. l got it from doctor before, and five different doctors have used it."
 We were all anxiously waiting for the doctor to commence and we waited but minute. He took the totem in his right hand, carefully dipped the head end inthe pan of water and slowly and carefully waived it around the pan of water, then around the money and then went through the same perform ance a second time. All of sudden he made a jump at MT. Bales that startled everybody in the room, the doctors daughter not excepted, and he made noise like the spouting of whale when he throws water up twenty feet high. He rubbed Bales on the chest crossways then up and down and after giving him few punches in the stomach backed off in careful and cautious manner, and then went at

built out into deep water and is but little used. Some of the very best mines in Alaska are located at this place and it will become one of the great mining centers of Southeastern Alaska. From Berners Bay across to Seward City it is six miles, which is our next stop, but in going around as the boats travel it is some fourteen miles. Seward City has the highest wharf in this part of Alaska. It is often impossible for boats to even land mail at that place on account of the rough sea. From Seward it is a good three hours run to Haines, the gate to the Porcupjne mining district. We arrived there about p. m. and, so far as we were concerned, it was the end of our destination. At this place the Flosie loaded four tons of crated dog salmon. These fish were taken to Skagway and from there to Lake Ben nett, across the line, where they will be used for dog feed this winter.
 We were met at the wharf at this place by MT. Bales, who has charge of News bureau and who, by the way, is rustler from way back to an early gen e1ation. He is the right man for Haines and the business men seem to know it.
 We had not been to Haines for some three months and we found quite a change in the way of improvement. There is some building going on there now, but in the spring Haines will probably surpass all other Alaska towns in the number of buildings that will be put up.
 In walk around the town we were pleased to meet Judge Ripinsky, who is one of the best and brightest men in Alaska. He has been at Haines for years and likes the place and the place likes him. He is going to Skagway to hold court, the commissioner of that city having been granted vacation for a short time. Bro. Martin, the Hotel man, is still in evidence in Haines and is doing we'll, s. WeitXman is one of the leading merchants of the town. Ripin & Go. we are sorry to say we did not meet. Mir. Goldberg came to Haines about year ago and has good trade and we spent pleasant half hour look ing at Alaska views in the photograph gallery. The proprietors name we do not now remember. Fay & Martin are still at the old stand.
 When last at Haines we met Judge i Scundoo for the first time. It was for merIy Dr. Scundoo, but no more doc toring in his. The Judge is character. He is a red headed Indian, and prac- ticed his profession as Indian doctor for fully forty years. All at once he quit the profession and changed his ti- tie to Judge, and of course you would like to know why. We'll, this is the way it happened:
 Once upon time six or seven years ago, when the judge was famous as an expert Indian doctor, he was called to attend sick woman. After carefully diagnosing the case, he concluded that she was possessed of an evil spirit, and he proceeded to drive it out. He dressed himself in the grotesque garb of an In dian doctor, covered himself with bone

clothes.

It seems her husband had been out very
late celebrating, and as he came home in the
rose flush of the morning he thought il
would be capital idea to take bath be-
fore getting into bed. First of all and most
important it would contradict any wrons
impression as to his condition, as his wife
sometimes had wrong impressions when he
had been out late at night. Women are SO
suspicious.
So he went boldly to the bathroom and
was soon splashing around as gayly as a
canary. In fact, he created such an un-
usual commotion that his wife woke up
and went to see what was the matter.
Suddenly he saw her gazing through the
door with look so cold and contempt
uous that it struck a chill to his very
heart. But he made a dive for the soap
and went on industriously with his ablu.
tions.
What are you doing there, Peter!" she
asked him.
He made the effort of his life to appear
debonair and perfectly sober.
Cant you see what / am doing, my dear?''
he answered, with another prodigious splash.
"I'm taking BATH"
Don't you think it would be good idea
for you to take off your underclothesy" she
asked him, with frozen reflection, as she
passed out of sight.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
