Seattle, Wash, Jan. ,2S.-The plan
of Governor John G. Brady to have
Indian totem poles and huts repre-
senting Alaska at the st. Louis expo
sition is not meeting with the unal-
Logged approval Of the people inhabit-
ing the northern district. Many think
it is time to relegate the Indian and
all his works to the background. Gov
ernor Brady, however, is defending
his position against almost all the pa
pers of southeastern Alaska, and even
those of Nome, and the controversy
is becoming Interesting. z .'r.
Governor Brady maintains that to
visitors at the fair Indian curios. and
relics will be the most interesting ex-
hibit that Alaska can prepare. Inside
the Indian huts and behind the stock
ade of totem poles, he says the re-
sources and possibilities Of the, Alask-
an country will be made: apparent
But even this argument lis not: salts
flying and the complaint still arises
from the people that they do not like
the totem poles and Want to, get the
idea Of the Indians and the idea Of
Alaska disassociated. D. 49,
How 1t Started.
The trouble began in the appoint.
ment Of the fair commissioners for the

Governor Brady's kindly feeling TO-

1t may be said that Governor Brad
is. in. closer touch with the, Indian

Glover is IS years of age and a very

When the Indian Banquets.s
A favorite meal of the Indian is a
big can Of fruit. He goes into the
trading store and buys the largest can
of peaches he can find, or perhaps two.
The liquor disappears in big gulps,
and the fruit. quickly follows. Then
two pounds Of sginger-snaps@ are

After eating salmon for generations
back, this: sort Of food does mot agree
with the native constitution. The
Indian feels uncomfortable <inWardly
and to settle the uneasiness fills the
peach can with cold water: once or
twice and empties the contents. down
his throat: Then he still feels IN
comfortable and he goes to his tepee
and steams himself in his own Turkish
bath for few hours. Then he goes
out, breaks the ice and plunges in the
water of some river or lake. The re-
suit is always the same, whether. he
used peaches or. dried apples, prunes

MELLEN. is BOLD
His Public Will Incorporation Speech May
Lead to Trouble.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Jan. 2S.-When G. S. Mellen
of the New Haven road, formerly presi-
dent Of the Northern Pacific, came out
last week with an interview in which he
stated that the public will must rule cor
porations, he probably had no idea that
his speech would be taken as referring to
the Northern Securities matter. That was
the meaning given it, however, by most
Wall street readers and the impression
has created a peculiar situation.
Mr.. Mellen is president Of a corpora
ton in which Mr.. Morgan is extremely
powerful. II Mr.: Mellen intended to say
that the sentiment Of the northwestern
public must ultimately make or mar the
Northern Securities company, In which
also Mr.. Morgan is of influence. he ap-
pears to have adopted a fearlessness OF
speech that may not work him the high
est good.
It is pretty well understood that the
idea of the Northern Securities will be
perpetuated, whether the form is or not.
It is the idea and not the form that the
people Of the northwest resent. Mr.. Mel
len may have meant; that. this idea must
be modified.

Mr.. Miller is not an optimist regard

is likely to improve. "a -
One Of the factors against the ex-

southeastern branch Of the great 81

Lao river valley, southern Manchurla,
