least four DAYS before we VIII be able

We have been wondering whether or
not the water covered the South side
or not. as help comes so seldom. 1t may
be Impossible for aid to reach this sec
ton of the city. but we thought that
ample time has passed since the be
ginning of this to enable the people
of South ToDeka to have built some
kind of a life saving craft TO help the.
people out don't suppose the people
that are over there high and dry can
hardly realize the position of the people
that are in the center of this flood. and

by a couple of men in this vicinity lives
might have been lost. As yet we are
safe but il can't last long, as our sub
sistence is not in such a quantity as 10

were warned to hold our horses. and

in an instant at a signal, the two lines
of men and women arose to a standing
position and began Tapping their blank

deafeuing The tapping was continued
while the Indians stood with their toes
in the water They were sha king the
evil spirits into the streams and causing
them to be carried down to the lake

what in the nature Of the atonement Of
the Jews. After the religious part OF

and gambling. and a season of feasting
and enjoyment follows. These Indians
are Catholics. but no influence can pre-
vent them from continuing their ancient
practice. ''-Rocky Mountain News.

years ii has been believed that the
largest fee ever paid to any lawyer in
one case was $3.50, 900 that John E. Par

The land bill passed by congress for
Alaska provides that homesteader
may file upon 800 acres and obtain a
patent after five years residence. If
he desires to commute he must aban-
don one-half of his homestead and can
secure title to only 1s0 acres. The bill
passed permits scrip location, but no
more than 100 acres in any one body
Provision is added that no scrip loca-
ton shall be made within 50 rods Of
any navigable or other water. The OBJ
iect of the last provision is to prevent
the acquisition by canneries and other
large corporations. This viii have a
deterrent effect upon many wOuld-be
land grabbers, who have had designs
upon the timber and other lands of
Alaska. Available lands suitable for
the use Of settlers will soon enough
only be a memory, and less prodig-
iality in handing out title TO the re-
serve in Alaska will be appreciated.
