Oh. Say!
l want to tell the people OF this
great and mighty patton,
II they want as good Bread, Pies
and Cakes as any in creation,
To shun all sham and fakery,
And go to Ca,laghan's bakery,
But bring the cash,
To get the hash,
That helps to make the nation.
And don't forget to tell your wife,
That there they have the staff OF life'
And not the imitation.

when the cakes damned. Travel is a
matter of one mile, two miles an hour
on the stretch of four hundred. The
Alaskan sled is long and narrow, built
lightly, high above the ground, with
basket sides and handles extended
backward from their top, held by the
hind river. In guiing it he is jerked,
buffeted, thrown on his face, kept for
ever on the run over the roghest sort
of ice to which he cannot even turn his
eyes in balancing the sled. No harder
work is known to man.
All along the river loaded fiat
scows have been stranded in low wa
ter and frozen in. They left White
Horse too late, overreaching them
selves to get in the freshest halibut,
candies and Christmas cards for the
holiday trade, and to break the cor
ner in hay and oats. Their owners
have drifted down on RATS to Dawson
through the ice, and have started
breaking trail up river to their scows
before white and Indian vandals get
into them. In a month the trail is
hard. Horse sleighs, bicycles, dog
teams and common "mushers' on foot
stream out along the boulevard of ice.
400 miles long, their faces all fur,
and their bodies scarlet and blue in
the night-gown parka, made of bed
ticking. From post to post, the fat
sergeant of mounted police is driven
by the English younger son, with
bottle of Seagram's under his robe. A
murder or two is done when he doesn't
see, or can't see; the body is showed
under the ice and found gnawed by
dog salmon next spring in a slough
down by Circle. The stars are shin
ing at a. m. in sky of polished
brass; the strange artic sunlight,
which is deep Indian pink, lies like a
pigment on the white hills: steam
boils from the airholes in the silence.
which to some men is more terrloic
than death.

To Keep His Sick Indians on
the Reservation
OR EXPECT TROUBLE
The Canadian Government Will be Called
Upon to Settle for the Cree
Quarantine.

The appended letter from Attorney
General Donovan is gratifying to the
county officials, containing as it does a
promise to lift an onerous burden
from this county which will be con-
tracted with the care of the Cree camp
and the maintenance of rigid quaran-
tine.
It is a fact which this communion
ton also alludes to, that the citizens
have been altogether too careless of
the smallpox in Montana, else it would
have been wiped out months ago.
Anyway, Major Smead is not liable to
turn any other bands of disease infect
ed Indians loose upon this community.
No doubt an appropriation will be had
from some source to reimburse Flat
head county for the care of the Crees,
even if it has to be obtained from the
Indian department as a claim for In
dian depredations. The letter from
General Donovan to Chairman Griffin
of the board of county commissioners
is as follows:
Attorney Generals Office,
State of Montana,
Helena, June II, 1901
w. H. Griffin, Esq,
Chm Board Co. Commissioners,
Kalispell, Mont,
My Dear Sir: have your telegram
to Governor Toole this morning, and
have wired Indian Agent Smead not to
drive off. any more Indians from the
Flathead reservation, that these In
dams, when they are infected with
smallpox must be kept on the reserva-
ton. l also wired you today, that
the county would have to pay the ex-
penses for taking care Of these In
dians until such time as we can pre-
sent claim against the Canadian
government. wish you would keep
an itemized account of every item of
expense that you have. Quarantine
them, guard them night and day, and
put good doctor in charge of them.
have also notified the secretary of the
state board Of health of the situation.
l think we will have no trouble in
presenting claim for this matter to
the Canadian government, as these
Indians are not American Indians, and
do not belong on this side of the line.
Give this matter your attention, and
take the best of precautions to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. l wish
you would impress upon your local au-
thorities that any one who violates
the provisions of the health act will
be punished to the full extent of the
law. The people all over the state
are getting careless about the spread
ing of this disease and unless it is
stamped out Immediately we are liza
BILE to have great epidemic during
the coming fall and winter.
Yours very truly,
JAMES DONOVAN,
Attorney General.
