teriaI talent. one would naturally suppose
that lawlessness In Sitka would be reduced
to minimum, but the keeper OF the jail
is one of the busiest men in the territory.
There are times when the capacity of the
lookup is taxed to it's utmost and OUTSIDE
accommodations have to be provided
Only a Dozen Horses.
There are about dozen Horses in Sitka,
but no buggies or carriages. There are
quite few bicycles, however. Ice and fish
are cheap in the capital, while coal and beer
come very high. A whole deer-horns, hoofs
and all--can be purchased for two or three
dollars, while grouse, ducks and all kinds
of game fowl ore bought from the Indians
at % cents each. Halibut, founder, salmon
and delicious mountain trout command
scarcely any price at all in the local mar
ket. Canned vegetables, canned meats and
condensed milk have a large sale in S1tka
all the year round. Sitka has no water
works or electric lights. Water is hauled in
carts from the Indian river, about mile
away, when the supply in the rain barrels
gives out. There is generally an ample sup
ply of rainWater, however, from the fact
that the annual precipitation In the vicinity
of Sitka is about 100 inches. The warm
Japan current washes the coast at this
point and there are few days in the year
when there is not a shower or heavy rain.
Skagway and Juneau have modern electric
light plants, but Sitka, 100 years old, and
the capital of Uncle Sans greatest terri
wrapped IN mantle of impenetrable gloom
During the winter months the lamps must
be lighted in the stores and dwellings as
early as o'clock in the afternoon There
has been no government provision for a
single lighthouse along the entire coast line
of Alaska. The only expense in this direc
ton to which it has gone is the maintenance
of unsightly pole and lantern at Sitka
at total cost of $40 per month.
Plenty Social Life.
Sitka makes up in social life what it lacks
in many other respects. The families of the
government officials constitute set which
contrives to enliven things so that life in
the time-worn little capital is somewhat
worth while. They have their literary So
ciety, their outing committee and dramatic
club. When the steamers come they gener-
ally give a party of some sort for the Wis
itors In order to make them feel at home,
and they succeed in doing so. All are in
tensely American. The scheme of govern
ment requires that there snail be able men
in all of the out-of-theway places to look
after the affairs of state. These men stick
nobiy to their posts. They are soldiers
every one, and their wives are patriots all.
1t takes nerve and patience and patriotism
to go out into the wilderness and stay there
year after year. Money is not the incentive.
The S13 our government gives the private
soldier every month does not make him the
best fighter in the world. 1t is the love of
country that is bred in the bone, and the
same blood is in the veins of ALL When
your steamer sails they have a way of run
ming up the stars and stripes and waving
you off that makes you proud of Them
makes you sorry to leave them alone with
quaint old Sitka to resume her lonely vigil
by the sea.

to be still further increased The
rules will probably extend to all
branches Of this, from clerks to
carriers, inspectors and superin-
tendents. Next will come the con
suIar service, which will become a
permanent one, instead Of being
the prey of politicians after each
election. 1t is also probable that
the Census Bureau will be placed
under civil service rules, although
this, if done, will be the work of
Congress and not that Of the Pres
ident. It's inclusion would render
all the 5000 clerks now employed
there eligible to transfer to other
branches of the government serv-
ice. AS some 1900 of these will
soon be no longer needed at the
Census, their transfer would fill
all the needs Of other departments
year or two to come, and destroy
all the changes of appointment
from the eligible lists Of the t'om-
mission.
