LAP WOMEN OF ALASKA.
They Manage the Reindeer and Are
Making Educational
Progress.

The Lap women who live in Alaska
are proving themselves exceeding wall

ment and care of the reindeer and they
they are now teaching the native Alas
kan the art, If such il may be called.
There are about a dozen reindeer sta
tions now established In Alaska and
more TO follow. The natives are re-
quired 90 serve an apprenticeship of
several years at the reindeer stations.
During this time they are practically
taught how 10 manage the deer and the
making OF Slcdges and reindeer har-
ness, After the expiration of their
service the government allows each q
number of deer as his own personal
property. The total number of rein
deer in Alaska at present is $500, of
which some have been distributed to
the Eskimos.
The average Lap woman is pic

young and robust, and ten chances to

is one of the most notable women of
the colony. Sic is very intelligent and
her particular duty is to teach the Es-
kimo women the art of making rein
deer clothing, which is the warmest
and best adapted for arctic climates.
She also instructs them how prepare
the various foodstuffs which the rein
deer furnishes, such as butter, cheese,
and the cooking and drying of the
meat. For this work she receives the
same pay as the herders.
She travels from station TO station,
where the classes of women are as

gives daily object lessons in her do
nestle work and gradually the Eskimo
women are taught the ways of civil

An action for divorce has been in
stituted in the district court by Sarah
A. Massing against Edward Massing
on the ground of desertion. The COM
plainant alleges that she and the de
PENDANT were married in this city June
20, 1896, and that the defendant de-
serted her at Milton, Ore, June 20,
1900. In the petition for a decree
the court is asked to award custody
of the four minor children of the
couple to the plaintiff and also to rem
der Judgment for the costs. 1t is un
derstood that the case will be fought
vigorously, not only so far as grant
ing the decree is concerned, but also
in the respect of awarding custody
of the children.

Some days having passed without
a of mysterious surveyors run-
ming a line for a new railroad, Havre
breaks the monotony of silence and
claims to be able to prove that for
the present it is entitled to hold the
center of the stage. A report from
there has it that a party of $500"
surveyors started out from the town
last Monday to make exploration of
the Bear Paw region. 1t is said that
the new route will be along a line
north Of the Great Northern to Havre
and thence south. Not to be outdone
by a little one-horse rival of a town,
Great Falls is already laying claim to
the distinction that will come from
being the western terminus of the
proposed road.

CROSS THE LINE.
ma Cattle Men Move
Herds Into Canada.

s'bsS
Chas. w. Williams, the well known
foreman for c. w. Price, is moving
his family from Chinook to a new To-
cation at Maple Greek, N. W. T., which
will be his home in the future. Mr..
Price has for three years been putting
cattle on the range in the big bend of
the South Saskatchewan, north of the
Canadian Pacific between Medicine
Hat and Saskatchewan Landing. The
range cattle business in that section
is an experiment so far, and there is
no other range herd of any size but
Mr.. Prices, says the Benton River
Press. The two past winters have
been SO mild that they cannot be ac-
copied as a criterion of ordinary con-
ditions. The grass is very good,
though some old-timers . think that
frost may prevent it's curing properly.
The principal defect of the range is
lack of shelter That whole region is
a high, bare bench and very level;
there is no broken or rolling ground
whatever. There are no running
streams and the coulees along the
South Saskatchewan are only a few
hundred yards long, the plains drop
ping off abruptly to the waters edge.
The general aspect of the country is
very bleak and there is no sagebrush.
The range is dotted with small lakes
and none of them are fenced; in fact,
few settlers have gone in and there
are no sheep at all.
If Mr.. Prices experiment is success
full, many range cattlemen from this
side will go into business in Assinni-
boia, as the only drawback will be the
difficulty of stocking up. The Cana
dian tariff on cattle is 20 per cent ad
valorem and the a~ppraisement is
made upon the value in Canada, sc
that cattle cannot probably be driver
in. The only sources Of supply are
the range herds in Alberta and stock
from Ontario and Manitoba, the lat
ter being generally inferior.
Representatives Of two of the larg
est cattle companies in Texas were
in northern Montana last week look
ing for an outlet for their young steers
to replace that shut off by the recen
opening of much of the Indian Terri
tory to the imam with the hoe" The.
are looking over the Canadian range
but the tariff is likely to prevent thei
stocking up that country.

STATE a BEecAR.
Citizens Asked to Donate Funds for
Montana Exhibit.

1t is evident that if the great state
of Montana makes a display at the
Louisiana Purchase Centennial expo
sition at st. Louis in 1903, in keeping
with the states position in the Louis
lana Purchase, liberal citizens of the
state will have to donate the money
needed to make the display then take
their chances upon being reimbursed
by the next legislature. This condi-
ton, says the Helena Herald. results
from the failure of the last legisla-
ture to make an appropriation for the
fair.
Governor Toole has received a let
ter from D. M. Houser, chairman Of
the committee on legislation of the
exposition in which the governor is
| asked the amount of money the state
! will have to spend on the personnel
| of the commission and other informa-
ton. AS the state has no money ap-
propriated and no commission has
been appointed it became the duty of
the governor to so inform Mr.. Houser.
He says that regardless of the failure
of the legislature to make an appro-
priation it is believed that generously
disposed citizens of the state will
probably provide the funds.
Il have the honor to acknowledge
receipt of your letter of the 18th inst
in relation to the Louisiana Purchase
Centennial exposition, and assure you
that this state feels a lively interest
in that great undertaking" said the
tgovernor replying to Mr.. Houser.
at is to be regretted, however
that our last legislature did not take
hold of the subject and provide fol
the appointment of a commission t.
whom the matter could be referred
and for this reason l have not as
sumed to make such appointments
and hence am unable to answer a
this time the questions you ask.
''Our legislature does not NEE
again until January, 1908, a period 81
remote as to make legislation at tina
session of little or nc avail unles
some steps be taken in advance.
81 shall give the matter early atten
ton, however, and hope, through tn
generosity of u citizens or other
wise to be able to devise some wa.
by which the important preliminar.
work may be inaugurated at an earl,
day upon such lines as will probabl.
meet the approval of the next legis
lature, and thus ecu a creditabl
