jumped for what he supposed was a shallow spot, intending to land and hold the boat. The water was too deep, and he was dragged along. Perry and Berry also jumped to assist, but without avail. The boat struck with terrible force, breaking in the stern and throwing everyone out. When Perry came to the sur face he siezed a floating army sack, which carried him down stream with no one in sight but the girl, who was about 20 yards ahead and still on the surface. After being carried about three-quarters of a mile Perry landed on bar. He rested for while believing himself the only survivor, but soon saw Berry coming along the bank.
 The two went down stream to look for the girl, but without suc- cess. When returning they found Russell, whose hack was badly hurt.
 They rested for few hours and
 then started for Sour Dough city.

Claciefs Getting Smaller.

It is possible that within a few years the glaciers of southeastern Alaska which are such an attra, . tion for tourists each year will be greatly reduced in size and beauty.
 The Muir glacier, which is the greatest on the continent, does not present the solid face to the ocean which it did two years ago, and there is reason to fear that it will never again do 70.
 Last year the face of the glacier Bay was filled with great floating icebergs broken from it.
 It was thought then that that had been the effect of an earth quake and that the vast expanse and beauty of the ice slide would be restored by this season.
 But such is not the case. The bay is front of it is still filled with hugh noes % that a steamer can not get within six miles of tho face O: the glacier.
 If the excursion boats would ex- tend their trips to Prince william Sound they could show tourists s glacier that far exceeds in beaut y those in southeastern Alaska. That is the Columbia glacier, about 30 miles from here.
 There are several other glaciers along the coast that would he a great attraction to tourists, artl in addition to the glaciers, the scenery along the sound is alone worth the trip.

KINGS PLENTIFUL.


Kings are very common in the Indian
Territory. In fact, they are common
that no attention is paid to them and their
movements excite no comment whatever
In the Creek country alone there are twen-
ty-five real live kings. Nero Drew Is a
fair sample of them. Each one has a king
dom tn look after, and ii keeps him busy
doing it.
The title does not descend from father
to son. as it does in the effete European
monarchies. The Indians elect their own
kings. The tenure of office Is two years
However, when an Indian Is chosen king
and serves his people well ne is usually
reelected without opposition. Some of the
old kings or the creek nation have been at
the head of their kingdoms for forty years
or more Nero Drew has been king for
thirty-six years.
The Greek nation Is divided into twenty
five towns, which is about the same as a
township in the States. Each town has
king. whose duty 1t is TO look after the
Indians of his town. He has power
to do anything. He looks after the sick
and sees that they have medical attention
He cares for the poor and decrepit. When
any of his subjects get in trouble he gives
them fatherly advice and frequently APP
peals to the federal authorities to show
them mercy. lie advises with his subjects
on all matters pertaining to their interests
In truth, he is their worldly adviser also
for occasionally the Indians elect a preacher
as king.
Indian kings are not very well compen-
stated. They get no salary. 1t Is labor
of love with them The only possible show
them have of getting any money out of
the Office is through boodlipg at elections
In this respect the Indians are not behind
the times They Doodle the same as other
people. Elections come high TO the cam
didates. Town kings are usually quite in
f1uential among the people OF their king
dom. and they command a Iairiy good
of them are full-blood Indians. Some,
however, are mixed bsoods.
