upon in an act of 1884, creating gov
eminent for the district Of Alaska,
when 1t provided that Alaska should
be a district and not be organized or
have legislature or congressional

Of course conditions have changed
greatly since that time. SO far as the
claim on a territorial form of gov
eminent is concerned, but there seems
to be in the expressed wish Of the peo-
pie of Alaska as heard at Nome, a

by that anything derogatory to the

I know, with few notable excep-

capable; the method Of their selec-

has been some special legislation by
congress with respect to Alaska, a.
general civil code and a criminal

pal corporations authorized, but 1t
was hardly to be expected that this
could be made entirely satisfactory by
a body Of men sitting 5000 or 5000

territorial form of government. The
wonder is that it Is not more insistent
in It's demand than it is. Two facts
already stated explain in part at least
why Alaska has not had home rule be-

The body was nude. The head was
bent forward, and the left arm crooked
over the face. For this reason the face
was easily recognizable. A heavy band
ring on the left hand was removed by
Coroner Hogeboom as the body was
lifted from the water, and this ring
was easily recognized by friends of the

How Topeka People Can Make Money
in Cucumbers.

There is any amount of waste land
and lots in this city growing up in
weeds each year. why not make some
thing out of them by planting the
ground TO cucumbers2 As much as $50
per lot can be made out Of them ana
it will only take about an hour of time
each day to attend to them. You can
telephone No. 300. either phone, and
they win call for them and pay you
