Father Sobalef and son Vincent went
to Juneau to consult a physician re-
garding Vincent's throat, which has
been troubling him for some time. The
doctor found it in bad condition, dis
covering many small tumors IN the
back part of the throat. He hopes by
his treatment to destroy them without
an operation. They returned on the
Queen July Doth, but Vincent goes on
with the treatment for month. The
doctor can't tell as yet whether he can
cure him without an operation.

KILLISNOO NEWS.

We have had two days of rains which
were so much needed. The gardens
look much better and the wells and
springs are filing mp.
The oil and guano factory has been
running night and day for the past
week. The steamers come in loaded
each time. The fish were late in run
ming this year they tell me, but they
think they will have at least three
months yet of a good run. The same
trouble has been with the canneries.
The salmon came in great quantities
last week and the cannery at Sitco Bay
is getting all they can handle. The In
dams have plenty to do; the men fish
ing, the women at work inside, canning.
About dozen of the Angoon Indians
are fishing up in Mitchell Bay and
bring their fish down here once a week,
and the steamer from the cannery
comes after them. They came twice
and then told the Indians that it took
too much time to come after so few, as
many of the fish spoiled while awaiting
transportation. An Indian happened
to be here with his schooner from Sit
ka and Mr.. Bush, owner of the eannery,
bargained with him to bring the fish
over for ten dollars per thousand; so
the Indians are happy again. They
think they can do well, as they receive
seven cents apiece for their catch. The
Indian with the schooner fishes some
while waiting for his load.
The work at Rodman Bay is progress
ing as fast as it can. They are working
about two hundred men now, hear.
They live well, too, as six beef cattle
came up on the Queen the middle of
July. They have about fifty chickens
and get thirty or forty eggs per day.
They also have fine Jersey cow which
supplies them with milk.
Mrs. j. Brightman with her sweet lit
tie girl and baby boy returned to Kill
isnoo from Sitka on the last Flosie.
She was visiting her parents there.
They are now keeping house and have
a very cosy, newly papered and painted
cabin to themselves and enjoy it very
much.
Chief Jake and wife who have been
sick so long are slowly recovering. The
Indians have all gotten well-those who
were yaccinated and those who had the
smallpox-so Killisnoo is again in a
healthy condition. Most of the Indians
are away now.
Mrs. Nuremberg, wife of the cook of
the mess house, was sick for about
three weeks. Asshe got no better, she
concluded to go to juneau to consult a
physician. He told her he could cure

WATCH OUR SMOKE.

Bro. Swineford of the Ketchikan
Journal seems almost displeased be-
cause the people of Douglas City have
exercised the right of every white man
and have changed their minds on the
subject of municipal incorporation. In
a recent editorial on the subject be
draws the unwarranted conclusion that
public sentiment in this town will also
change in regard to the establishment
of territorial form of government for
Alaska. In this we believe he is mis-
taken. Our people have very pronounc-
ed views on this subject, and chief
among them is the thought that the
movement for territorial rights is the
direct outcome of the workings of the
fertile brain of the politician. Of course
we realize that Bro. Swineford does not
belong to the class mentioned, but is a
notable exception to the rule. Howev
er, the reasons for the general clamor
for incorporation carry with them
greater considerations than simply the
privilege of spending our own money
for schools. Douglas, unlike many
other towns in Alaska, is on the move.
Things are getting better and brighter.
Douglas has ambitions, and claims for
prestige, based upon her almost bound
less resources. Douglas has decided
that she is big enough and old enough
to have place at the pie counter of
favors and if any of our contempora-
ries have any doubts as to the future
of our town we invite them to climb
upon the fence and watch our smoke.

TIE CASE WE'LL ST1TED.

The Washington Post has come as
near sizing up the very probable re-
suit Ct Booker Washington's dining

affect him, as we have seen. That able
paper spoke we'll Of Washing tons work
10 putting new idea before the col
oged people concerning the full and
broad meaning of education, ard COM
1Eended him for teaching them the
practical things of life and says he
ought 20 be content with that greet
work. IL concluding the Post said:
''Of what benefit to Booker Wash
ington and his work Is this empty snd
arduous round OF banquets and parlo1
functions? Wherein does it profit him
or the cause be has at heart that he
figures IN Hartford or Boston drawing
rooms, sits at luxurious tabies-even
that of the President himseif-and
glyas his time to what we call 'socie-
typ These people really see in him
nothing more than caprice. He has
become a fashion, lad, with men who
have go more comprehension of bis
real value to the country than they
have Of the political conditions in Sat.
urn. They are merely putting him on
exhibition, clarifying themselves by a
patronage OF one who is worth more tc
humanity and civilization than any
dozen OF them. And the end of it car
be only the cancellation of Booke
Washington as potent factor in the
social equation. He and his race will
BE- the victims OF this stupid and mis-.
chievous folly. He will be shorn o.
his usefulness and influence. lie will
strut his little hour on the tinsel stage
and IS cast away when the idle fancy
shall have run its course"

COTTON ON STATE FARMS.

Raleigh Post, Oct. 7eth.
Mr.. Nathan O'Berry, a member of
the Board of Directors OF the States
prison, said yesterday in speaking OF
the outlook for crops on the State farms
the prospect tor cotton is very good
indeed. About 1000 acres of cotton was
cultivated this season and there is ev-
cry indication that 900 or 1000 bales
will be gathered. Mr.. O'Berry says
the affairs of the prison generally are
in very good shape now and "buckle
and tongue" will be made to meet with
out any trouble.
He says he never knew the prison
to be so nearly deserted as it Is now
there being only 50 prisoners there In
all since the squad of 40 was sent to
work on the Marion, N. c., railroad
This he says is no Indication that there
is falling off in the number of con.
victs. On the other band they are al
numerous as eyer, the great bulk oi
them being at work on the State
farms.
Mr.. O'Berry says that just why all
the counties IN the State don't keer
all except the dangerous long term
convicts at home to work on the coun-
ty roads instead OF committing them
to the States prison is more than he
can understand. Wherever the plar
of working them on the county roads
has been tried wonderful improvement
has been wrought. He referred eepec
ally to the big improvement being
made with convict labor in Wilson
county. He believes this to be the
very best solution of the convict prob
lem.
In speaking of affairs in and abou
Goldsboro he said that business SEEM
to be good in all branches of trade
and the place Is building up rapidly
Not less than $25O,OnO has been OK
pended in buildings there during tn
past year.

typical Of South Africa, at which can
be purchased anything from the pro-

about twenty-five miles from the near

within radius of thirty miles, to many
of whom have supplied Chamber
laln's remedies. All testify to their
value in household where a doctors
advice is almost out of the question.
Within one mile of my store the pop

CALEB POWERS AGAIN CON
VICTED.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 26.-Ex-Sec-
rotary of State Caleb Powers was to-day
again convicted of being accessory be-
fore the fact to the murder of Governor
William Goebel in January, 1900, and
for the second time has been sentenced
to imprisonment for life.
The second trial began October 9Th,
and has continued with three sessions
daily, court adjourning late at night.
The present term expired tonight.
Arguments were limited so that the
case went to the jury al 2 o'clock this
afternoon and verdict of guilty soon
followed.
Powers sat pale and motionless when
the verdict was announced by the fore
man, 3. s. Calvert, his old school mate.
Opposite Powers, on the other side Vi
the court room with the attorneys sat
Arthur Goebel, brother of the late
Governor, with his eyes fixed on the
prisoner. The attorneys of Powers
shook his hand expressing aloud theil
belief in his Innocence.
Women crowded around Powers
embracing and kissing him and tears
we're shed. The defense having filed q
motion for q new trial Judge Cantrill
at 30 p. M, heard arguments on thu
same.

FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE
THEMSELVES.

Apex News.
Yes, the farmer is the backbone OF
the country, but as yet they have bsen
unable to effect an organization that
has been Of much benefit to themselves.
II the men who follow the pillow would
organize, set a price on their products,
and hold them until their price YVES
paid, something might be accomplish
ed, but to do this the organization
must be universal. No one section
can do much towards the bettermpnt
OF the farmers as class. However,
Let the farmer organize himself and not
be organized by some scoundrel who is
working the farmer for his own person
al benefit and does not know enough
about real farm work to weed hill oil
beans. This is the way the farmer baf
been organized in the past, greatly tc
