where they went as a special committee
for Governor ~. II. jenkins to investi-
gate the needs OF the school The ap-
pointing Of this special corl1uittce from

FOR normal schools was brought about by
the fact that President Ament recently

for an opinion from Judge Strang regard

turned down. Governor Jenkins. in order
to asoe1tain the real condition OF things.
then appointed hfs committee when this
committee arrived in AIva. the members
found that everything was being pre-
pared to make the changes in the base
Inent and that a, portion Of the contracts
were already let The refusal of the au-
dftor to honor the demand Of President
Ament did not make any difference. for
the work was being arranged for Just the
same. The question now comes no: Who

are doing the work? Governor Jenkins
IS out Of the city and the committee can
not make its report until he comes back.

The splre is considerably over zoo feet
in height, and leans feet to the
south and 4 feet to the west, with the
result that the nearer the spectator
draws the more the spire seems to
bend The reason of its deformity
is not far to seek. Tht builder, in
erecting the church couple of CEN
turtles or SO ago, used green timber
for the spire; consequently, as soon
as the sun began to dry the wood. it
caused it to warp into its present fam
tastic shape
The Lincolnshire fens naturally fur
nish very treacherous ground upon
which to erect buildings of any
weight, and it is therefore not sur
prising to find three of Britain's lean

one side to such an extent that the
tower leans many feet out of it's orig

CHIEF JOHN SON.

An Alaskan Ruler OF Preservation and
Great Power.
Chief Johnson of the Taku tribe, one
of the most famous Indians in Alaska,
has under his charge 5000 to 5000 In
dams, and they look to him as their
ruler. He has six or seven large
stores. located at Dyea, Juneau and
other points and practically controls
the trade with his people. Every three
years Chief Johnson has a big pot
latch, at which time he gives away
thousands of blankets and other things
useful to members of his tribe. He
had potlatch in 1896, and it cost him
$4,000, and the one held last year was
almost as expensive. There are other
Indian chiefs in Alaska, but none who
have as numerous dependents as
johnson. This representative of our
northernmost possession is not salts
fed with some of the laws which
have been made at Washington to gov
ern the Indians. He bitterly opposes
the encrOachments of the white man,
and says that the game is disappear
ing from the hunting grounds, and the
fish no longer swarm the streams as
in years gone by. Hunting and fish
ing are the only occupations of his peo-
pie, and he sees, at no distant date,
these will be destroyed and they will
be sunk deeper into poverty and want
than they are at the present time He
says the chiefs of the white men rule
only for money; but he rules his peo-
pie without charge and they obey him
and love him because he is good and
just to them. He says the whisky bust
ness in Alaska is very detrimental to
the Indians, and he would like to see
the prohibition law enforced. Chief
Johnson dresses WELL wearing white
shirt and a high collar, and he has
the appearance of an intelligent man.
He speaks fair English and is a close
observer and a shrewd business man.
He is a man of great wealth, probably
one of the richest in Alaska, and lives
in the finest house in any of the north
ern cities. He has ruled his tribe since
the death of his father, which occurred
in 1880. He is about so years of age
and is strong and hearty, enjoying the
best of health.

a peculiar accident occurred at Mid
dleport, O., recently, says the New
York Times The big iron safe in 2
large shoe factory could not be opened
one morning. After some time spent
in vain, efforts to shake the mbina-
ton into working order, the book
keeper and the engineer conceived the
idea of burning out the combination
by the use of an electric arc. 1t took
several hours to do it, but they finally
succeeded, after taking turns at hold
ing the wire. standing in the full glare
of the arc and looking directly at it
good part of the time. When the
safe was finally opened they both
complained of dizziness and headache
which gradually increased. and finally
they became entirely blind. Whether
the blindness is due to an actual in
jury or some essential portion of the
mechanism of the eye, or simply to an
overstrain, whose effects will gradu-
ally disappear, has not yet been deter
mined The incident, however, what
ever is the ultimate outcome. shows
the serious danger for looking for any
length of time directly at an extremely
bright light.

ICEBERG FOR CRADLE.
Thrilling Adventure of Crew While
Stocking Ship With Ice.

Thrilling Adventure of Crew While
Stocking Ship With Ice.
A thrilling story of vessels en-
counter with an iceberg is told by
Capt. Chester of the schooner Elwood.
While the schooner was on a fishing
cruise in the northern waters Captain
Chester sighted an immense iceberg
apparently fastened on reef known to
exist just off Hoonia. Its a lucky
find!" thought the captain, as he head
ed the Elwood for the berg, that he
might fill the hold with ice to preserve
the fish he expected to catch. When
the schooner was within few yards
of the berg the anchor was dropped.
The vessel swung around until she
came alongside the berg, to which she
was made fast with lines. The tide
was at the full; gangplank was
thrown over to a ledge on the ice, and
the men began breaking off chunks OF
ice and hosting them aboard. All
went well until evening, when thirty
tons of ice had been slowed in the
hold. Meanwhile the falling tide had
caused the berg to settle upon the reef
and to tip toward the side opposite the
vessel. The gangplank rose in the air
and had to be made fast to a ledge
nearer the water to keep it horizontal.
Capt Chester suspecting that all was
not going to be well, ordered the crew
to make sail Before they could man
the halyards the iceberg, with a grind
ing roar, rolled of the reef and started
to turn over. A jagged spur of ice,
which had formed the bottom of the
berg, rose on the starboard side of the
vessel and beneath it. The ice struck
the keel, and the vessel, lifted out of
the water, rested in an ice cradle
Chester ordered his men to get into the
boats and out of harms way Cutting
the lines that held the schooner to the
berg the men pulled to safe distance
and waited. The anchor held fast, and
the schooner tugged at the chain The
tide dropped a few more inches the
iceberg careened still further, and the
Elwood rose higher This proved the
schooner's salvation. The tendency of
the iceberg to roll over and raise the
vessel brought such an enormous strain
upon the anchor chain that something
had to give way. Something did, and
to the joy of the fishermen it was not
the anchor of the chain The iceberg
Iurcl.ed and the schooner was seen to
slide several feet along the crevice in
which it rested There was another
lurch and another slide Then the ves-
sci reached downward grade. and the
znxt instant shot on the iceberg and

Georgia. Mll,t.ry Records.

A measure of considerable interest
to the people of Georgia has been in
troduced in the house by Mr.. Halves, OF
Ebert, says the Columbus. Ca, Led
ger The purpose of the bill is to pro-
vide for the preservation of the re-
cords of Georgia soldiers, from the
colonial period down to the present
time. The idea is to collect and COM
pile these records for publication in
book form at the expense OF the state
The field to be covered is a wide one
embracing the period of the, colonial
revolutionary, civil, Indian, Mexican
and Spanish-American wars, in which
Georgia troops were engaged. Georgia
gave many brave heroes to these wars
Her war history is a proud one, and ii
should be preserved. The Halves bill
is in the nature of an experiment II
proposes to appoint a suitable person
to collect and compile the war re-
cords. at a salary of 800 per annum
The books are to be published at the
expense of the state and all money
realized from the sale is to be turn
ed into the state treasury. If the
right man is secured for the work. we
believe that the state would run little
risk in passing the Halves bill The
books should find ready sale in Geor-
gia and throughout the south
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1901-01-12
The Color Blue.

Blue is the color of skies at noon
When sun shines warm and bright;
Blue is the color of skies at dark
When stars make heavens light;
Blue is the color that waters wear
When peace the storm wind stills;
Blue is the color of autumn haze
That dreamy wraps the hills;
Blue is the color our soldiers wear
When their actions make US glad;
So why should we say that we are blue
When all our thoughts are sad?
Why not name as the mental hue
Colorless gray instead of blue2

THE WOODED
REGIONS,,.
GATHERING HUGE
TTMBERS nv
THE NORTH

Gus and eminently practical features
of modern numbering.
In the spring the logs, either in RATS
or loose, are floated down the streams
to the mills, where they are sawed.
The men who cut and ship the logs
are of many nationalities. Scandina-
VANS being most numerous. They go
into the woods in the early autumn
and remain until late in the spring,
seeing practically nothing of the OUT
side world during all the winter
months. They live in temporary houses
built frequently of pine logs, with a
largs common sleeping room and
main dining room supplied with coarse
pine tables.
When the great RATS containing mill
lions of feet of lumber have been
f1oated down the small rivers out upon
the broader Mississippi, and then on
down to the city of Minneapolis, they
are diverted through what are called
boom" channels, sideways, bound
by logs fastened together, up to the
slit" which is an inclined plane lead
ing the log to the jagged teeth of the
saws. The log is drawn up this slit
to an endless toothed chain, and is
quickly whisked along on sort of
tramway in the mill, and held in readi-
ness for it's turn at the teeth The
saws are of various types, some of
them great circles of steel, perhaps five
or even six feet in diameter; others
are known as gang" saws, series OF
Is or 20 short saws rapidly running
up and down and eating their way
through a massive log together, COM
pletely saving up in a few moments
log three feet in diameter. There is
another style known as the band saw,
a continuous piece of steel like large
belt. say foot in width, with teeth
on one edge. 1t passes over frame
work like belt, continuously cutting
thorugh the log. When the boards
the lumber, as they are called-reach
the end of the mill, they are sent for
ward to the piling yards, where they
are piled up and left exposed to the
weather, that they may properly be
seasoned. These piles are sometimes
higher than an averaged dwelling
house, with long lanes or streets be-
tween them. From the piling yards the
lumber is delivered to various points
by rail, or may be sent on for the for
eign export trade.
