crai Niles Altitude.
From now on the National Temperance
Society. with hea@euarters in New York.
expects to rydou1ie its efforts against
sentiment which favors a repeal Of the
present Anti-Canjeen law As it was
largely through this society's efforts that
the selling Of strong drink IN the army
post-exchanges was abolished. the tenn
perance people intend to be no less active
in their propaganda against a return to
the old plan
It's reported that d multiplying amend
mcnt has already been framed in an
ticipation Of the next Congress. and that
the fight viii break out in the early days
Of the session. This might be brought
about either by a recommendation from
the Army Board or by the introduction
Of a bill: but considering General Miles
recent statement defending the present
law, the temperance elements feel pretty
certain that no suggestion OF repeal viii
come from the War Department
According TO the National Society the
past attitude Of General Miles has been
altogether misundersj God. He has never
been in favor OF the liquOr-selIing canteen
and has always maintained an active Op-

wrote 20 the Chairman of Jhe House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. recommending
that the sale of alcoholic liquors be pro-
hihited at all military posts and reserva-
tions. Acting on this sugges lion, Presi-
dent Hayes. on February -. 1881, issued
an order 10 this effect. and in appreciation
Of General Miles efforts Co secure such a
reform he presented him with ne pen
with which the order was signed
AS late as July 2 1898, at the beginning
of the Spanish American war. General
Miles issued an order warning soldiers
against the use Of intOxicants in the trOD-
les and reminding officers that they could
and should forbid the sale Of beer even.
and light wines. IL found harmful On Au-
gust, 1901. General Miles sent out the only
appeal that has gone cut 20 the army from
the War Department asking that the
Anti-Cautecn law. which took effect in
February should be faithfully Cbeyed. All
this, the temperance people believe. Is a
sufficient refuta ion of the reports that
the ranking officer Of the army has been
vacillatirg in his attitude on the c1uteen

.CHECHACO.

Last week, one day during the course of a trial of an Indian, before Judge Gillette, U. S. commissioner at this place. one Heleuthal, attorney for the Indian. announced to his client and the other natives who were in attendance that if at any time the U. s. marshal should attempt to force an entrance in. to their cabin they should kill him, on the theory that every mans house Is his castle. which he may defend.
 Such advice to Alaska Indians, if not counteracted by some other influence, would lead to the extermination of all the U. s. marshals in the district.
 Mir. Helenthalhas not long resided in Alaska, and is therefore not very we'll acquainted with the ways of the na tives. or he would surely refrain from giving such advice. Theories don't go with them. They understand any state ment literally and would not hesitate to slaughter an officer of the law or any one else if they thought they could evade the punishment.

 The U. S. district court in s. E. Alas ka is what might be called continu- ous performance.
 The conviction is still strong in the minds of some that Sitka will one day come out of the kinks.
 And now the western representative will begin to explain to his constitu- ents why Alaska was neglected.
 It seems that the cable between Ju- neau and Skagway will be laid by the government. Our hope is for commu- nication with Puget Sound.
 If the Arctic Brotherhood, which boasts of being distinctive institution of this north land, is such good thing, what's the matter of passing it around.
 Denver is excited over dog that smokes cigarettes. We would like to wage that they are not the brand used here on some streets. No dog would smoke them.
 skagway, like some other newly in eorporated towns we might mention, started out by giving a salary to every body possible. Now the chief business in hand is to cut those same salaries down.
 The Western Mining World roasts the citizens of Butte because they won't invest in local mines. It's differ, ent here. Almost every man in Alaska has mining property here to which he is giving his spare capital and some good day they will all be glad of it.
 We are in receipt of Vol. l, No. l, of the Alask-Yukon Mining Journal, Skagway publication, H. c. Diers ed itor and o. M. Kinney manager. It is neat and we'll written aud if it lives up to it's promises to tell the truth and shame the devil, it will accomplish much good.
 There is a Siwash at the Pencil Mis- sion who they claim is prophet sent direct from God. Such fanatici8m should be choked off and not permitted in a civilized community.

that a safe was blown open at Bry-
