a taste for the liquor which white men
introduced into the territory. OF the
strange customs practiced by the ma
tives, that OF marriage lie most strik-
ing. A young Eskimo never goes
courting. II he takes notion he wants
to get married he gets all his property
together ard then tries to decide what
girl he wants. When he chooses one
he sends her some article Of clothing.
An Eskimo girl never accepts pres
ent of this kind from young fellow
unless she is willing to marry him.
The fellow waits for some time, and if
the girl doesn't send his present back
to him he will 60 and bargain with her
parents. He offers SO many pieces of
walrus ivory or so many furs, and usu-
ally can strike a bargain. When he
does he Tabs the girl by the hand and
takes her away with him without ask
ing her consent. They have no mar
riage ceremony whatever, but when
young fellow marries be never leaves
his wife.
Il like the Eskimos and like all that
is in Alaska. There Is but one de-
pressing thing there and that is those
long winter nights. 1t becomes day.

gets dark at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
But we have our dramatic club and
our classes for studying the language
OF the natives, we have dances, and,
most of all, we have card parties.
Every man and woman in the territory
plays poker. l DO not think there was
poker chip in Teller when l was
there, so we all used Lima beans for
poker chips. This is another evidence
that you cannot get away from beans
in Alaska. The territory will not
long be as at present. Within ten
years it will be we'll populated and
will be producing greater amount of
wealth than any equal area in the
world. Its natural resources are the
greatest on earth. That is why l am

price. Beans seemed to be the most
salable article in that part of Alaska.
Boston could not exceed the territory
in the consumption of that edible.
They are eaten the year round-eaten
until the people get so tired of them
they are almost willing to eat walrus
blubber as substitute. was told OF
q man who went down to Seattle after
a winter in Alaska. He claimed he
had eaten more than q barrel Of beans
during his stay in the far north.
When he got to Seattle he went to q
hotel and told the waiter to bring him
plate of baked beans before bringing
the first course of the table d'hote din
ner. The waiter brought them and a
plate of blue points. The man from
Alaska grinned at the plate OF beans,
then ground his teeth and pushed the
dish back on the table. He then
Strengthened up, swore vigorously, and,
addressing the plate, said: Here, you
beans, just watch me eat good square
meal once in which you are not mixed
up That moderately expresses the
feeling Of the adopted Alaskan toward
beans.
1.-The average Chicagoan would call
Teller lonesome place. But we all
like it we'll enough. Everybody is on
an equal footing. No one knows
whether his neighbor is worth Is cents
or SIS, 100000. Every one keeps the
state of his finances absolutely secret.
ave have all learned the Eskimo
language from young native named
Akkayak. We organized, too, the
most northerly dramatic club in the
world, We named it the North Pole
Dramatic Society. There is young
man in the camp who left the stage to
seek a fortune in the gold fields. For
some strange reason he carried the
manuscript of number of plays to
that region, and we have tried them
on the Eskimos. The natives do not
understand just what we are driving
at, but they are convinced it is all
right. They believe in everything the
white man does and they go away, and
at once try to do the same thing. They
are as ignorant as they can be, but
they quickly pick up any little custom
of the camp. The Eskimos about
Teller have no idea of the extent oil
the world. They know Of Siberia,
and one old fellow has been as far
away as Dawson. He is regarded as
a hero in one sense and as gigantic
liar in another. The Eskimos nc
longer have any confidence in him.
Until two or three years ago natives
to the north OF Teller never heard oi

deer, which are only about four and
one.half feet high. When this old
Eskimo went to Dawson he saw several
horses and was amazed at their size.
When he returned to Teller the natives
gathered around him listening open
mouthed to the wonderful stories he
told OF the work of the white men who
were digging in the hills for gold

the world when its marvellous agricul-
tural products are sent to the distant
markets. Oh, not all of Alaska is ice.
There are green fields there, and great
expanses of land decorated with wild
flowers that would shame the flora of
the tropics. In no country in the
world are the flowers more beautiful
than in Alaska. The blues and the
whites of those great blossoms fairly
dazzle the eye with their brilliancy.
That is what you find in frozen Alaska
And you find the best wheat in the
world, and the potatoes and turnips,
aud other hardy vegetables. There is
little reason why grain and vegetables
should not be grown there. 1t is true
the summer is short and not very
hot, but remember the sun never sets
in the summer time. While the
vegetation in this latitude grows dur
ing the twelve or fourteen hours that
the sun shines, there it grows all the
time. Through the growing season it
is always daylight at Teller. Oh
course the ground is always frozen
underneath the soil, but the heat
thaws the ground to depth sufficient
to allow all plant life to mature.
"The gold fever in Alaska has pre-
vented men from going in for agri-
cultural resources of the peninsula.
The men 60 there for gold and if they
don't get it they go away cursing the
land. | have seen men refuse to &c
to work at very large wages, and si'
around and swear at the country and
declare it was a forsaken, forlorn
region where no civilized man would
stay any longer than 1t would take
him to get out on the run. That's one
trouble. Alaska has been cursed by a
| lot of drones who went there expect
ing to pick out diamonds out of the
creek sands and gold nuggets out Of
the cutters. They have awakened
since getting there, but have not the
courage to go to work. While We
have some lazy men in some parts Of
Alaska, principally on the southern
coast, there are many other pests
which we do not have Alaska is OF
free from snakes and reptiles as Ire
land, There is not a creeping thing
in the territory, There are no insects
of any kind. You never see fly or 0
bug or moth. There will be nc
potatoe bugs to attack the gardens, nc
weavil to ruin the wheat, no mosQui
toes to worry the people. There II
not one thing in Alaska that Is not o
some practical use, except, as | have
said, the drones.
"Our manner OF life in Alaska is
by force OF circumstance, rather prim
tive. At Teller, which is still farther
north than Nome, we lived much afte1
the fashion Of the Eskimos. We adopted
their style of clothing, and in large
measure we adopted their bill Of fare
which consists largely of fish. From
Seattle the boats came to Teller dur
ing the summer bringing provisions
\ which we were able to buy at a fail
