REPORT ON ALASKA.
Gov. Brady Urges An E1tena'on ~ tho oeh'
eral Land Laws 10 the Territory
Condition Of Natives.

Washington, Nov. A.-The annual
report of Gov. John G. Brady, OF
Alaska, to the secretary OF the lnte-
rior urges congressional legislation on
the extension of the general land laws
to Alaska, giving the natives the same
legal status as the whites and the
representation of Alaska by a dele
gate to congress. The report says
that at Cape Nome everything and
everybody is pel nell; there are sew
eral claimants for each town lot, beach
claim and creek claim, fully $4,000
people waiting for the action OF the
court there"
After referring to the outbreak OF
the grip, accompanied with pneu-
monia and measles, that occurred
among the native Eskimo this year,
the governor says they were threat
ened with utter determination last
summer. He adds: "A deathly plague
and wild stampede Of hungry and
avaricions whites poured in on their
precincts and turned loose upon them
by shipload after shipload, bringing
with them the arts and accomplish
ments of Sodom and Gonorrah. II is
hoped that through the missionaries
and change from hunting to a
pastoral life remnant Of u noble
people may be saved. The withhold
ing of the land laws Is the real difll-
Guilty in the way of getting terrific
rial government for Alaska. II con-
gress would treat Alaska as 1t has
other parts of the western frontier in
regard to land titles this will bring
within few years population there
ready to assume the burden OF an ex-
bensive government, where now an en-
tire population, who are simply squat
tiers, with few exceptions, are not
able to do So"

"When found Della at Cheyenne

almost felt like allowing her to finish
her journey alone. However, finally

there would cause her to take down

"At Ogden she was worse her

told me the same thing as the one at
Cheyenne Wells.
"At Elko, it was the same thing
over again. The doctor there said
that when we got down in the valley
again that her fever would 90 down.
Sure enough when we got to Sac

her and by the time we had reached
San Francisco, the fever had gone
away entirely, although she was
weak. Now that is the whole story.

still in undisturbed possession Of her
mind and has regained her health.
