AS spent at one time two and a
half years in Alaska under such cir
cunstances that / lived almost en-
trely among the natives, both IN

In making few observations on these
people in advance Of my coming visit
to the territory.
Zen years ago, not counting the
small mining towns Of the southeast
coast and islands, such as Sitka. Ju-
neau and few others, there were not
iiIty white men in all Alaska, or less
IMAM one to every 10000 square miles.
TO my own certain personal knoWI-
eage IN 1894 the moose and caribou in
the entire lower valley Of the Yukon
ana on the west coast had been prac-
ucally exterminated. The natives had
OBTAINED breech-loading rifles from the
Whalers some twenty years before and
slaughtered the great heards of game
WITH the most reckless prodigality.
Inc animals were given no rest at any
season, and were all but exterminated.
mere are still, or at least were in 1893
ana 1884, great droves of carbon on
the Porcupine river in Northeastern
Alaska and between that river and the
Arctic ocean. I have seen as many az
z,OoO in single herd and saw more
than 5000 in single day.
1T is true that the Walrus has haen
practically exterminatedi in Behring
sea and adjoining waters, but that was
done, not by white men, but by the
natives, and in the same improvident
fashion that they exterrninated the
moose and caribou of the lower Yukon
In fact, the Eskimaux owes his present
CONDITION solely to his own prodigaIitv
and disregard for the future The onIy
part the white men have had in the
business is that they have purchased
the furs, Walrus, ivory, whalebone, etc.
oHered to them by these people and
their utter disregard for future con-
dltlons is the cause of their present
distress.
I most earnestly recommend that
an army officer or a special agent of
one of the other departments of the
government be placed in general con-
troll of the Eskimaux of Alaska. his
relations to them being similar to that
OF an Indian agent in this country. The
Esklmaux should not be collected on
reservation, but it should be the duty
OF the agent and his subordinates to

They are very much like the mountain

but after that all resemblance ceases.
They have very little horn. they have

The problem of living for the New
Yorker is choice between evils. On
the one hand is the loss of time and the
manifold hardships of suburban travel;
on the other are the high rents and
crowded quarters of Manhattan. Up
to the present time, residence on the
island to the man of moderate means,
offers apparently less discomfort than
the daily Journeys to and from the
city. 1t is only question of a few
years, however, when the upward
movement of rents will force the pop
ulation over the natural barriers con-
filming them, into Long Island and New
Jersey.
1t is this situation which the Penn
sylvania railroad expects to remedy by
the building of terminal five miles
long to unite Manhattan with Jersey
and Long Island so that the daily trip
between the Railway and Greenpoint
may be made more tolerahle than the
present journey to One Hundred and
Twenty fifth street from city hall.
AS President Baldwin, of the Long
Island railroad, summarizes the adj
vantages to be expected:
"A man living in this section, the
lower end of New York, or going from
here, is obliged to take a train on the
railroad, before he can get started
even on the train, >forty-f1ve minutes,
we expect to take people from our
terminal station-thirty miles in forty
five minutes-he may be thirty miles
from this proposed terminal station
in just the period of time it now takes

the streets above One Hundredth

RIDING A BUcKINe STEER.
Called a Harder Task Than Sticking
on a Buckina Rroncho.


"a bucking broncho," said the re-
tired cowboy, els generally considered
the hardest proposition to ride in this
land, but until man has tackled a
bucking steer he has not realized all
the possibilities of the gentle art.

just begun to learn the art and it is
really an art None of the wild west
shows has yet got hold of the few fell
lows who have mastered the straddle

complete.
You can cinch horse up until
there is little possibility of the saddles
slipping. but it can't be done on the
steer.
THE steer riding fad had it's start
down in Texas, where the animals are
wild enough to suit even the most ex-
acting cowpuncher, and it is now be-
ing introduced further north. A
puncher's playtime Is often long
enough to give him chance for such
experiments, and some of the more
skillful have got it down to fine
point.

easy task to stick to a wild boy who
knows enough to do the grand buck

A Straight Tip.

The senatorial contest now going on
at the state capital promises to be a
long-drawn-out affair, and what the re-
suit will be, God only knows-as young
Mr.. Galloway of Yamhill says. So far
nothing but light sparring has been in
dulged in. If the Republicans would
90 into caucus, Hon. G. w. Fulton
would win easily, but that gentleman's
opponents are not looking for a settle
ment of the contest By that sensible
method. Rumors OF all kinds are
aioat--as usual. 1t is reported that
the venerable and highly respected
Mr.. Corbett of Portland will be in the
race within a few days; that Harvey
Scott of the Oregonian is about to
make his appearance on the scene;
that Jonathan Bourne is a dangerous
dark horse, being the happy ~possessor
of a large and easy barrel of Doodle
and numerous large and easy barrels OF
booze; that Geer will eventually land
about 80 Republican votes and then the
democrats will go to him in a bunch
and finish the job; the same statement
is made regarding Binger Hermann.
Many friends and supporters OF Charlie
Fulton still believe he will win out, but
there is no lack of evidence that he has
the hardest kind of a fight on his
hands, and the outlook is not alto
gether rosy. His election would be a
surprise "a pleasant one-to thousands
of his friends in the state; and hope is
not yet dead. 1t would also give the
people of the state n great deal of
pleasure If their representatives would
settle that part of their work at once
and get down totthe real business for
which they were chosen. If the people
would refuse to elect as a representa-
tive a man who was not willing to abide
by caucus rule, deadlocks and much
crookedness would be avoided. OF
course, some of the representatives
might not make so much out of their
Jobs, but that would be the only objec-
tionable feature. Here's to King
Caucus!

THE LEADER neglected last week to
take note of the fact that Charles Ruhl
and others are charging County Judge
Brown and Attorney b. f. Swope with
being partners in the legal business, for
which statement they give The LEADER
as authority. We did refer to such n
partnership about SIX months ago, but
ii vas the result OF a misunderstanding,
and we inadvertently neglected to cor
rect the statement in fact, thought
nothing more about it until Mr.. Ruhl's
overflow recalled it. Mr.. Swope's de-
NAL of the charge will be sufficient
proof of its falseness for every citizen of
the county who knows him, and abuse
OF Judge Brown is not proof that he has
