DO NOT BE MISLED.

Do the people of this section, especially the miners, the men who most vitally interested in the deve orment of this section, want comparatively cheap means of transportation not The answer will be obvious. Cheap transportation of supplies to the diff ferent mining sections means speedy development. Therefore. if you want to hinder that development get in and knock" Discourage the investment of capital: hold up every man and woman who show by their acts that they mean to do something. Hold them up and backmail them whenever you get the opportunity. But seriously, do you think that such a line of action will either help you materially or hinder the upbuilders? You cannot stay the wheels of progress" although you may prevent their swift by blackmail won't do you much good the princi- pie that that which "goes the devils back must return under his belly" The ow-minded grasp ings of a man may make him millionaire, but his life must be altogether unlovely one. He is a wart and if he had been excised the world had been dtions. This is time in Alaska when the cheap demagogue and the man without dollars worth of responsibility in the community will get in and howl. And without cause
 The development of Northwestern Alaska is the opportunity of the workingman. New enterprises mean the opening up of new fields of human endea- vor-the opportunity for the workngman to improve his condition. Of all the possessions of the United States, where, we ask is there better opportunity for the poor man than that which is offered by Alaska?

Mot men admire the showy qualities in women, and the poor fellows easily fooled that women ought to be ashamed to take them in as they do There women whose hair is bleachcd, whose eye brows are penei}ed and whose cheeks rouged and whose husbands are ready to take oath that their wives do not make up. That. such wives do deceive their husbands is miracle, but that they should de- ceve such trusting creatures is a shame
 man seldom the real woman. He sees only what she pleases to show him, and he takes all the rest on trust He could not be fooled so easily if he were not eager to be fooled But man likes to be humbugged by woman.
 If he could get the true private opinion of other women and especially the servants in her house, a man might be able to judge a woman well. It is the cook and the maid who could tell him whether girl is selfish thoughtful of others whether she is tidy or untidy and whether she is smooth-tempered or given to the tantrums. But unaded, no man may be sure of his judgment of women

THE REINDEER FOLLY.

We read recently in a learned treatise Alaska frhat reindeer mot native to the soil" but they shave been supported from Labrador This is informa tion indeed. Not native to the soil, but have been imported all the way from Labrador !! Seriously speaking doubt if ever reindeer has been found in Labrador, but mention the reindeer because of the article referred to- but because reindeer natives of Alaska though in recent years they have heen imported from the neighboring coast of Siberia in quite large numbers The mere fact that a writer in the United States easily connect Labrador and Alaska as to provide easily for the importation of reindeer is tre. Life is, by ar too short to attempt to snlghten the expressed ignorance of millions of citizens of the United States concerning the geographical position of this territory One day many millions of people will have the knowledge th-"s upon them that Alaska is not island in the Pacific few miles out of Seattle.
 @ Another statement made by the writer to whom refer is to the effect that t"rendeer the princi pal beasts of burden" in Alaska That writer who by the way is lady, must have gotten her informa- Sion from one of the many reports reindeer in Alaska" made by Rev. Sheldon Jackson If the reindeer is beast of burden in this territory would like to see it demonstrated So far as ninety nine per cent of the people of Alaska know, from actual experience and observation the reindeer is sort of white elephant, to be used and worshipped by the very few.
 When reindeer were first introduced into this section it stated that the governments object to provide means for the sustenance and of the natives. If this grievous seems to have been made, for the reindeer we know them today are means of succor sustsnance and wealth to their few keepers. The great of the natives know nothing of them of their uses. The reindeer management, as followed in Alaska, has been dis Sinct failure. Reindeer have been imported from Siberia by the thousands at great expense. Years have elapsed since their introduction, and would like to ask who has benefited by it? Certainly not she Eskimo who continue to die of starvation when ever the tomcod crop fails the seal cannot find breathing space through the winter pack.
 The whole system of reindeer management in Alaska calls loudly for reformation. As followed it is an absurdity for which the people of the United States should not have to pay

Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson in a recent address before the National Indian Association in Washington, D. C., in speaking of the condition of the natives, claimed that the in- temperance and immortality which have accompanied. the advent of the white race to the territory have been communicated to the native inhabitants, with the effect that they have become more susceptible to disease and have died like flies. This looks bad for Dr. Jackson, for if the natives should all die off, his occupation would be gone. What a consolation it is to mission aries that there are heather in this world to be saved from ignorance and superstition, and brought to embrace the white mans religion and vices. The white man's relig- ion saves, but the white mans in- fluence kills.

KITCHEN CABINETS ARE USELESS.

The pavements of Washington City are, no doubt, being kept at white heat these days by the batter of the feet of some Alaskan federal officials. Judge Moore has, no doubt, this told his tale of rehearsed to him by his Nome kitchen cabinet, in the ear of the president of this nation. We would feel some compassion for Judge Moore had he gone to Washington with some Knowledge of the judicial d- vision which, by some chance or other, hc has been called to preside, had he at any time evinced willingness to acquire some knowledge of his dis trict and it's people, other than that which per mtted to reach him through the medium of self-ap- pointed kitchen cabinet. As it is, the poor man has gone out seriously handicapped for of his knowl edge of actual conditions, he cannot truthfuy speak

May their meeting be pleasant one, and may they have ample time to compare notes and therein where it will pay federal officials to work together in harmony But "kitchen cabnets' must go.

A pretty ankle will SO stun man that in looking at ithe will fail to notice the absence of all the cardinal virtues. Women, the contrary, look on their own without bias. They other women in the privacy of the gynecium catch them off their guard with their hair in curl papers and their souls and minds in neglige. Consequently women are not to be deceived about other women. :.
 woman knows that the girl who is 50 sweet and 1svable when men present may have peppery temper, and that the ingenue of the parlor may be the shrew of the boudoir. A woman knows what another woman really thinks of the men to whom that other woman makes herself soattractive.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE AMERi-

her admirers to be independent. But she

titles because they are striving al

including society. We are also told
by this, undoubted authority that the
American girl seldom loses her heart,
and never her head" In that con-
fession l see the main source of the
anarchy which she effects and the de-
generation watch she represents. One
more quotation from Mrs. George
CORVALLIS West may be useful
The American woman has often been
taxed with being eXtravagant, and if
this be true her bringing up must be
held mostly responsible. The hard
working busy man of Wall street
stepped all day in the making of dol
lars, wants when he comes home to
find his women folk beautifully dress
ed and their surroundings in keeping:
for them he slaves-that is the object
of his life and work They dip into
