CONVICT ESCAPES,
From Detachment Constructing Scenic
Route Road-Under Two Years
Sentence for Forgery.

James D. Denning, sentenced from
Bernalillo County for two years and
six months for uttering forged paper
and received at the penitentiary
April 21, 1908, made his escape from
the detachment of convicts at work
on the Scenic Route" Road sometime
yesterday. He had remained in the
camp as cook, and when the prisoners
came back from work to eat dinner
they found that he had neglected to
cook the same and had disappeared.
He had not even folded his tent, but
simply and silently stole away.
This particular escaped prisoner
made an urgent appeal to Superintend-
ent Bursum some weeks ago to be
allowed to work on the Scenic
Route road in order that he might
thereby demonstrate that he had re-
formed, to show. that he was an exem-
plary prisoner and to be released as
early as possible. Mr. Bursum finally
sent him to join the detachment on
the construction of the road. ''

Dangers From Indians.
"The wagon trains were in danger
of Indians 20 miles west of Independ-
ence, and even the friendly Indians,
the Shawnees, Delawares, Kaws and
Pottewetomies, while they would not
fight, would stampede the mules dur
ing the night and steal everything
they could lay their hands on. In the
open plains we had to contend with
the Pawnees, Comanches, kiowas, Ar
rapahoes, and Cheyennes, and after
the Ration Mountains were crossed the
Apaches, Utes and the Navahos.
81 first crossed the trail with my
fathers freighters in 1841, when
went to St. Louis to school. In 1916
returned with Samuel c. Owens wagon
train, with General Karney's invading
forces as an escort, the army over
hauling the merchants at Pawnee
Fork, and marching ahead Of us into
Santa Fe. In 1S47 again crossed the
trail to go to the east to attenn
school, returning to New Mexico in
1852
Mail Once a Month.
'In those days we received mail
once a month in Santa Fe, it taking
80 or more days for the mail coach to
go over the trail from Santa Fe to In
dependence. There was mail coach
each way, and they usually met in
the center of the trail. The time was
cut down first to % days, then to IA
days, then to 10 days and then to Z
days, until finally in 1880 we had a
railroad into Santa Fe. A year pre-
vious the terminus was at Ration.
Even "reminiscences of conflicts
with the Indians and the hardships en-
dured in the two and half to three
months travel entailed in crossing the
plains would fill volumes The advent
of the railroads to the southwest also
marked the cessation of hostilities
with the Indians, until today one can
cross the plains with as much ease
and as little fear, as he would have in
walking the streets of Santa Fe."

TIFF CHRISTIAN LIFE
The Strenuous Life.

n Lord, we most of all give thanks
That this thy world is incomplete;
That battle calls our marshalled
ranks,
That work awaits our hands and
feet;
That Thou hast not yet finished man,
That we are in the making still;
AS friends who share the Makers
plan,
As sons who know the Fathers
will.
Beyond the present sin and shame,
Wrongs bitter, cruel, scorching
blight,
We see the end at which we aim
The blessed kingdom of the Right.
What though it's coming long delay!
With naughty foes it still must
cope!
1t gives us that for which to pray,
A field for toll and faith and hope.
Since what we choose is what we are,
And what we love we yet shall be,
The goal may ever shine affair;
The will to win it makes us free.

A Blessed Secret.

1t is a blessed secret this of living
by the day. Amy one can carry his
burden, however heavy, till nightfall.
Any one IAN do his work, however
hard, for one day. Any one can live
sweetly, patiently, lovingly, and pure
ly till the SUN goes down. And this
is all that life ever really mean to
us, just one little day.
Do to-day's duty, fight to-day's
temptations, and do not weaken and
distract yourself by looking forward
to things you cannot see and could
not understand if you saw them. God
gives nights to shut down the cur
tain of darkness on u little days.
We cannot see beyond. Short hori-
IONS make life easier and give us one
OF the blessed secrets of brave, true,
holy living.-Christian Work.

NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR MAY 81.
The Life Giving Spirit.
(Romans 8:1-14.)

led by the Spirit of God, they ar,
the sons of God. Romans 8:14.
In close connection with the two
preceding lessons which have brought
before US men who we're called upo1
to choose definitely between a life
with Christ and a life without Christ
and who, in each instance, seemed tt
have utterly rejected the opportuni-
ty afforded them of coming out upon
the Lords side, we take up in our
present lesson a study of the essen
tial principles which underlie the
Christ life.
AN Incompatible Chapter.-The
entire epistle to the Romans is a
magnificent exposition of the princi-
pies of Christianity, and the eighth
chapter has been well designated by
Godet as "the incompatible chap
ter" 1t comes as a splendid climax
to the line of reasoning which Paul
has been following in the earlier
chapters of the epistle, and it will
repay our closest and most thought
full study.
A Marked Contrast.-In the verses
assigned for our lesson, Paul draws
a vivid contrast between the life of
sin and the Christ life. What is
said is not intended to be exhaustive,
but rather suggestive, and by the use
of other portions of the epistle, and
of the New Testament in it's entirety,
the contrast here indicated may be
amplifed and enlarged.
Two Walks.-Paul presents the
life of sin as a walk after the flesh.
The Christ life, on the other hand,
is a walk after the Spirit. The fig
ure which describes our daily life as
a "walk" is a very beautiful and sug-
gestive one. Shall we not see to it
that we walk, not after the flesh, but
after the Spirit?
Two Laws.-The life of sin is pre-
scented to us as a life dominated by
the law of sin and death. The Christ
life, on the contrary, is dominated
by the law of the Spirit. What a
splendid opportunity is here afforded
to contrast the rigors of the law of
sin and death with the gentle domin-
ion of the law of the Spiritl
Two Minds.-The life of sin is the
life which proceeds from a carnal
mind. The Christ life, on the other
hand, proceeds from the mind of the
Spirit. Shall we not strive for the
mind of the Spirit which is also the
mind that was in Christ Jesus?
Life and Death.-The life of sin
must eventually end in death, while
the Christ life finds it's splendid Gull
mination in eternal bliss. Indeed,
the Christ life is the only true life.
Who Are the Children of Coda
Sonship to God depends entirely up
on our relation to the Spirit of God.
If we are led by the Spirit, then
we are the sons of God. Let us pray
for the gift of the Holy Spirit, the
life-giving Spirit, who will lead us
into heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Not without design does God write
the music of our lives. Be it ours
to learn the tune, and not to be dis
mayed at the rests. They are not to
be slurred over, not to be omitted,
not to destroy the melody, not to
change the key note.-Ruskin.

Fantail Trail Pl yed Out for
 Season.

The Fontail trail between Log Cabin and Atlin has gone bad for the season. The trail is soft from one end to the other, in places it is an under water from few inches up to an impossible depth and the ice is fast rotting. Such is the information brought out by w. Wallace Crime. the Atlin broker who arrived on the train last night. after having mushed from the British Columbia placer camp across the line.
 Mr. Crime started out with the maih but travelling got too bad for Big Jack" Perkinson's dog team, so the former mushed on. This is the last mail, Nr. Crime says, that win come in over the Fantail trail unles, there shall come a freezeup. He says the mex, mail will be sent out by way Of Caribou.
 Mr. Crime says the preparations in progress in the Atlin district at the present time are indicative of wonder full developments for the coming season.

1T IS BAD ALL CLEAN
ity Streets All Right But
 Shacks Stand.

The work of cleaning the streets and alley, of Skagway has been pretty thoroughly done. For some weeks now the work of cleaning up the town has progressed slowly but surely. With little more work along the same line everything will be all right, except that the old, tumblcd-downa and weather worn ,hacks still stand to offend the sight and make the city look hideous. II those houses which are in such a condition that they can never be rented or used ior any other purpose than kiudlug wood were torn down or burned up, Skagway would present fairly respectable appearance 10 the tourists this summer.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan
 Washington, May 9--Judge Advo- cate Davis, of the army returned all the papers connected with Alaska transportation contracts, without pass ing on the questions raised. But he makes a new point that it is impossible Co transport American soldiers over the White Pass for this season. Gen Davis strongly advises against White Pass.
 Misrepresentation made to the de- partment in the protest, are that ii the contract is awarded to the White Pass it will not be able to deliver the sup plies at any other point on the river than Eagle and at Nome or St. Michael Fort Gibbon and other army posts, un- der the customs laws, would not be able to get shipments directed to them This is due to the fact that under the
