The board of charities and cor
rections will again recommend
that the legislature provide some
means of employing the 200 con-
victs in the penitentiary. They
have heretofore recommended
binding twine factory, but this has
been rejected on account of the ex-
pense. Now it is said they will
recommend shirt and overall fac
tory. If this recommendation is
rejected we would suggest that a
popular subscription be taken and
enough money raised to buy a
stock Of needles, for it is a shame
that these two hundred able bodied
men should be supported in idle
ness at the expense Of honest tax
payers.

order in the stations of the compa-
ny when it was not complied with
then application could be made to
the court, and if it confirmed the
action of the commission the rate
thus fixed stood, in case of appeal
until final adverse decision. The
state of Mimi esota had been to the
supreme court of the United States
on its former law and found out
"Where it was at" when it was beat
en-; SO there may be something in
the suggestion of Congressman
Hepburn that the Presidents rem
edy would be unconstitutional, in
asmuch as the commission, instead
of a lower court, is to fix the rate
which is to stand pending an ap
peal. The Minnesota plan makes
the commission's finding of fact
prima facia evidence in support Of
their action before the court. Tx
perience under the present inter
state commerce law, which was be-
lieved to be ample to protect the
public when it was passed but has
been shorn Of its supposed powers
by the courts, would seem to teac /
our law makers to follow closely

The recommendation of Presl-

with power to fix a reasonable

unreasonable is operating as dyn-

action of the commission conclu-

the following to say on the subject
''The roads would prefer the
present arrangement of appealing
to the courts in the first instance

Douglas Island news., 1904-03-30

The horns of an enormous bison found at the depth of several feet in the frozen ground on the banks of the Yukon river near Dawson, are among the relics in the university museum. The horns are about five feet from tip to tip and were unearthed by some prospectors in the gold rush of 1897. They are especially interesting to the biologist as illustrating the fact that Alaska was formerly peopled by a vastly different kind of animal life from that at present found there.-

Prospectors have returned from the Sawtooth range, 50 miles north of Nome, with favorable reports of quartz finds, all free gold, the decomposed material on the surface banning from g to s to the pan. The ledge is said to be readily traced for four miles, and locations have been made the entire length. Benches along many of the Nome creeks are being prospected this winter to bedrock, it is reported, and dumps are rapidly accommodating that will wash from s1O,OOO to s3O,OOO in the spring cleanup. These are along Bus ter, Cripple, Otter, Center and Dry creeks. On the Blue Stone there is considerable work under way, in antic- ipation of ditch being built in the spring. More dredgers will be operat- ing in the Nome district this season than ever before. They are no longer experiments.

Giant Men and Women.

The following remarkable story of the strength and size of the Kings Is- land natives, told by an alleged traveller in Popular Science Notes, rivals some of the tales of the late Baron Munchau- sen. It is herewith republished:
 On Kings Island Indians were found who by their physical characteristics belong to the Innuit or Eskimo family, having small black eyes, high cheek bones and full brown boards which conceal their lips. The majority of the men are over six feet high, and the wo- men are usually as tall as and often taller than the men.
 These women are also wonderfully strong. One of them carried off in her birch bark canoe an eight hundred pound stone, for use as an anchor to a whaleboat. When it reached the deck of the vessel it required two strong men to lift it, but the Innuit woman had managed it alone. Another woman carried on her head box containing two hundred and eighty pounds of lead.
 Both men and women are also en- dowed with remarkable agility. They will outrun and outjump competitors of any other race who may be pitted against them.
 Their strength is gained from very poor food, and they frequently travel 50 or 40 miles without eating anything. They live on carrion fish and seal oil. The fish, generally salmon, are buried when caught, to be kept through the winter and dug up as consumption re- quires. When brought to the air they have the appearance of sound fish, but the stench from them is unbearable.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., March 22.-Alas- kans who have been in Washington all winter pressing the claims of that ter ritory for remedial legislation fear now that congress will adjourn without ac- cording to their claims the attention which in their opinion they warrant Today several of them appeared at the White House again. The parties to the conference besides the president were Senator Kearns, of Utah; J. W. Ivey, for several years collector of customs in Alaska; M. J. Sullivan, a wealthy mi her of Nome, and John Rustgard, may or of Nome. They impressed on the president their particular anxiety to have passed bill for the construction of roads in Alaska. Other members about which they are concerned are the mining bill, the municipal govern ment bill, the judicial division bill and the bill providing for delegate to the house of representatives from Alaska. The president promised to use his in fuence to secure the enactment of Al askan legislation.

steamship service, and passengers wish ing to embark at this place for points north or south were generally compelled to take the ferry to Juneau. This draw back MT. Smith sought to overcome and as the outlook for business for his company got brighter, on Oct. 1st 1900, the ships of the Alaska Steamship Company began to make Douglas a regular port of call, both north and south bound. Their lead was quickly followed by others, but the citizens of Douglas have always remembered and have never ceased to appreciate the courtesy of the Alaska Steamship Co. and have shown their appreciation by large patronage.
 So the people of the town of Douglas rejoice with the Alaska Steamship O., in the rapidly increasing patronage, which has made it necessary to add to their fleet the handsome new liner Jefferson.
