battle for populism against both old
parties. if necessary. The reason

Foremost 10 the Work

Every now and then in the long.
uphill pull The Independent has been
making for nearly two years to unite
the two factions of the peoples party
and to keep the organization ready
for use when the time would come
when it would be most needed, there
have been weeks when the question
would come up, Is it worth while?
1t has cost a great deal of hard
work and some money. A few faith
full souls have given aid and comfort
for The Independent has some Of the
best men in the world on it's .subscrip-
ton books; but by far the greater
number have shown an Indifference
which is more CALLING than active
hostility.
The task has not been pleasant
one all through. The clouds have been
too dark great deal of the time But
now and then roy of sunlight breaks
through, which repays for hours of
gloom. The clipping below, from the
pen of J. A. Bodenhamer of the Dali
ton (Ga.) Herald, is one Of those
rays:
"That the Nebraska Independent,
Lincoln, Nebraska, was foremost in
the good work of uniting the two ele-
ments of the peoples party into one
solid, compact, powerful political or
ganization there is not doubt, and
as a steadfast middle-of-the-road adj
vocate-one of the half-dozen news
papers that weathered the storm of
! fusion and confusion-The Herald is
glad to express it's appreciation of the
splendid work of The Independent In
the great, and sometimes seemingly
hopeless, task.
| ''But it was accomplished. Fusion
is dead and populism lives. There
will be no further demand for fusion
newspapers in the west, as there new
er was in the south. And those fusion
newspapers in the west which stuck
to fusion through force Of official
county printing will have to turn to
the peoples party or die.
"As between republican and demo-
crat or republican and fusion the peo-
pie OF the west are republican. That
has been demonstrated in every cleo
ton since the fatal blunder. But as
between republican and populist ma
jority of the people of the west are
populists, as they are in the south, as
demonstrated in the elections just
prior to 1896.
'"The rebound of the blow aimed al
the life of populism by plutocracy
through the agency of the democratic
organization will come, has already
come, with such tremendous force
that it will kill, has already killed
the agency used by plutocracy in it's
devilish, desperate plot against the
common people as dead as mackerel
and, like the putrfd mackerel in the
mud hole, it will "stink and shine
and shine and stink" till it passes for
ever from the sight and smell Of an
enlightened, progressive people"

They have some queer methods out at Rampant. An election was held to decide the question of incorporation, and the board of election went into secret session to count the votes.
 From reports of American mission aries we glean that it is believed by the natives of the Aleutian islands that they are under the rule of the Car. Around Bristol bay the teaching of the English language and American ways to natives is prohibited by priests and tyones (of course not openly.)-Ex.
 The Yukon Indians have been hold ing big potlatch for the last ten days, The Peel River and Mackenzie Indians are joining in the celebration. Several hundred people go from Dawson every day to watch the entertainment, which is very interesting. Three weddings took place at the potlatch.
 The islands of Alaska are only adapt ed to stock raising on small scale, and the mainland, as rule, does not offer inducements to stockgrowers. This is the conclusion reached by c. W. Thebeau, who has spent time and money in an effort to show that Alaska will become stock-raising country.
 The Yukon Horticultural Society is considering an exhibit for the Yukon at the St. Louis Fair, and expects to raise s5OOO0 for the exhibit, which will be composed of grains, grasses, pota- toes and fruits raised in the Yukon ba- sin, specimens of gold from the differ cut creeks, woods, coal, a mammoth and prehistoric bones, Indian collec- tions and many other interesting arti- cles and displays will be made.
 The officials in charge of agricultural experiments in Alaska are calling for more money to carry on the work of demonstrating that farmers can sue cessfully till the soil as far north as the Yukon valley. A. c. True, the di. rector of experiment stations in the United States under the direction of the secretary of agriculture, maintains that agriculture in Alaska has passed the experimental stage. His opinion is backed up by Secretary Wilson.
 Fred Gorrill, operator for the Dom- inion telegraph line at Pike river, about 25 miles south of Atlin, accident ally shot himself in the abdomen with a g. calibre rifle. He died from the injury. He had been to Atlin to spend Christmas and was on bis way home to his station when the accident happen ed.

G M Calligan. a pioneer prospector

G. M. Calllgan, pioneer prospecIor of the Yukon, says the Dawson Bulle- tin, returned Saturday from Mosquito Fork in the Fortymile district, where he has been prospecting the past sever al months. He reports that on Chicken obout 200 men are working and nearly the same number on Jack Wade. The miners in the district are handicapped for the want of machinery and some are using horses for hoisting. A num- Der of men are working on the bars and obtaining good results. They cut the ice out of the river and then use wood fires, and rock the dirt up as they take it out A man named Blaisdell took out S12OO' last winter and is working again this winter.
 Little Minook Jr, is busy creek these days, says the Rampant Forum. All the men on the creek are on pay without exception. Mclean & Evans are taking out good pay on p. Anton son, Ford 6 Palm are working some good ground on 24, Ledger, Jack, Sin clair & Parsons have lays on 2l and 22 and are on pay. Bowen & Cooil are working on 22, they also have pay. Hawkins, in 8, is hoisting good dirt. In addition to these men, Ed. McCor- mick will prospect IS and Joe Kelly l7 this season. Bowen & Cooil located seven feet of fair dirt on 20 last sum- mer. They will ground sluice off the [ top and shovel in this claim next spring.
 Some of the interior towns have the idea that all they have to do is to elect a school board and teacher, and the department of the interior will i'm mediately come up with the cash. The Rampant Forum says: The citizens of the camp have been told repeatedly that in order to get a public school in Rampant we must incorporate. This is not true. All that is necessary to be done to get a school is simply this: We must elect three school trustees, who will appoint properly qualified teacher. Application is then made to the secretary of the interior for the 30 per cent of the license money paid by Rampant into the federal treasury. This money is ready for us as soon as we comply with these requirements and make the proper application "all statements to the contrary not with standing"
 Messrs. Sullivan, Smith and Harry Kato, Jap, of Cheno, returned last Friday from an extended prospecting trip, says the Fairbanks News. About 90 miles southeast from Fairbanks, on a tributary to the Tanana, the pros pectors found dirt that yielded 619 cents pan in the grass roots. As result of the banning S14 was brought to town. Bob hamberlain, of Fair banks, who grub staked the party, re- turned at once with them to the local ity. The meager news that found it's way to the public created considerable excitement, and several stampede parties were formed, only to meet an untimely end for want of information. A party of about 20, however, compos- ed of men from both Fairbanks and Chenoa, took the trail and are still out. The first discovery was christened Japan creek. Chenoa creek and Gold en Gulch were staked and named next in their order. The gold was coarse and showed little wash.

\ The 1rSC eXCurSlOu ITlp Ol Iue hopo- kane next season, will not occur until two weeks later than her first date last year. It has been found that tourists occupy the first of the season at sight seeing in the east and do not come west until later in the season. The later trips of the Spokane last summer, af- forded the company far more profit than did the early ones. The Spo- kane's excursion schedule for next summer is as follows: Leaving Seattle, Tacoma and Victoria, June ', 21; July 5, 19; August ?, 16.
 The Yukon government at Dawson has under consideration plan to dam the waters of the upper Yukon in the spring, with the object of opening nav igation earlier and prevent the low water which hampers navigation every fall. The water is to be held back by securing rise of 15 in. in Lake Marsh by building dykes and food-gates across the foot of the lake. The open ing of the flood d-gates would aid in clearing Lake Lebarge of ice, thereby starting Yukon navigation from three to six weeks earlier.-N. Y. Engineer ing and Mining Journal.
 Any person who believes that it is an impossibility to elevate the natives Of Alaska, might have been induced to al- ter their views had they been privi- legged to witness the Christmas festiv- ities at Metlakahtla, says the Ketcbi- kan Journal Splendid Instrumental music that would have been creditable to many band organization in the States, and some literary and oratorical numbers were features of the enter tainment. When due consideration is given to the obstacles of heredity and environment that these natives have conquered, during the short span of wears since James Duncan became their teacher, the number of trained me- chanics and educated men among these people is a marvel.
 According to the reports which the mining expert, William Fitzhugh, who is stopping at the Golden North, has received from engineers he sent into the Panama country, that region will be a big producer of gold. The 'infor- nation which they have furnished MT. Eitzhugh is of nature highly favor able to the district. In referring to the new camp the expert spoke highly of the Tanana. The country he said was looking up and already proving a good producer. According to the re- ports made by the men 1 have investi- gating the Tanana," he said, "that country will be producer on heavy scale." Fitzhugh has also had men Investigating the Fortymile and Chicken districts, and from reports learns that they are looking up. He believes they will be good producers. He was asked by his packers in England to investigate the Tanana system ln Alaska. He has not acquired any in terests in this region, but has an offer under consideration. Lost Chicken he describes as looking fine. While he has not investigated the reported find in the White river country, Fitzhugh is favorably impressed with what he can learn of the place. He believes that 1t bears the earmarks of good district. MT. Fitzhugh is on his way to London, England, after flying trip to the Seyentymile, where he went to look after assessment work. He will leave out on the Dirigo tomorrow.-Skagway Guide.
