ALASKAN TOTEMS At PORTLAND's FAIR.

tives believe that the totem will favor
them with divine protection in the
way of reciprocating for a manifesto
ton of proper respect. They do not
accept the totem as a deity-merely
as protector. Assuming that the
well known hibernator, "Bruin," is
thus favored by an Alaskan tribe, his
image is handsomely carved upon
divers poles. Bright hued paints are
lavished upon the effigies. With the
Alaskans, 1t is odor or the lack of 1t
as long as the artistic effect is OBJ
tanned.
Such is the simple philosophy of
these northerners. They labor under
the delusion that If bruin should meet
with one of them while on his mean
derings, he would seek the member of
another tribe for this offering to Epi-
| Gurus. However, If calamity should
overtake a member of the tribe, 1t is
assumed that he aroused the ire Of
the totem and received his just de-
serts.
Like all good people, the Alaskans
are not immortal on earth. Genera
ton succeeds generation. In this
manner the appreciation of totems is
differentiated. The succeeding gen.
GRAFTON possibly may prefer a frog or
bird to a bear. This accounts of
the variance in design. Occasionally
pole is erected to a departed par
ent, a chief or some other dignitary
Accordingly the images are carved on
poles and erected amid much merry
making. The genealogical pole is H.
lustrated in the exhibit at the expo
sition.
Visitors to the centennial will notice
large pole, the topmost totem being
large haven, head downward. This
mission by Yennate, a member of the
Thlingit tribe. His mother was the
honored one. She was member of
the Raven clan. The significance of
the totem is obvious. A brown bear,
totem of the Kakwonton tribe to
which Yennate's father belonged is
under the raven. Below the bear is
the figure of an Indian holding a
cane, in representation of the wom-
hl uOClOI
and sorcerer. This unique genealogy
may only be interpreted by a mem
be of the family.
The totem poles, 16 in all, are from
two different tribes living on Prince
of Wales island. At an old village
called Tuxekan, four were obtained.
Another was presented to the COM
mission bV Chief "Texn Thin oft
of Klawack. The very large poles
are from the Hydeh villages, Sukwan,
Klinkwan, Onhorklis and Kasaan. All
of the poles together, with an enor-
nous dugout war canoe, were loaned
by the natives, but must be returned
to them at the close of the exposition.
The totem pole is as sacred to the
Alaskan family as is the old family
Bible to the Caucasian.

Grouped about the Alaskan build
ing at the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton, opening in Portland June /
may he seen a number of motley
hueI and grotesquely carved poles
They are clumsy, but vivid examples
of the painters art and of varied de-
sign. Here is seen an awful apology
for man, squatted upon the. head
of a cream-colored frog. Below this
strange-appearing amphibion is seen
the effigy of woman. and so on
the figures multiply until the bottom
of the pole is reached.
Another of these old monuments is
crowned with a formidable looking
raven. Under this bird of prey is a
bear which sits on the head Of a man
holding a cane. Each figure has its
particular significance. Collectively,
they tell a marvellous story of the
superstitions and customs which pre-
vail among the Indians of the district
of Alaska. Such are the totems-the
heraldic signs of these far Northern
natives.
Aside from any amusement the to-
TENS may afford, as chronological
specimens they are of unusual mo-
ment; as genealogical records they
are without parallel, and as carvings
they are strikingly original in both
conception and execution. Some are
erected as monuments to absurdities
of belief, and others as silent eulo-
gies to departed parents or rulers.
Alaska offers every inducement to
the chronological observer. It's people,
to most of us, are practically un-
known. Research would indicate an
anterior relationship between the
Alaskans and Asiatics. But the ma
tiyes of this northern district are not
idol worshippers. While they have
not improved to any extent in arts
and crafts, their advancement moral
ly and intellectually has been espe-
cially manifest.
Upon the Greek church devolved
the task of promulgating the rudi-
mentary teachings of civilization
among the native Alaskans. The
Presbyterian faith is fast superseding
the former. Together with the In
dian schools established by the gov
ernment, these teachings are gradu-
ally bringing the natives to a higher
standard of manhood and are elm
mating the various beliefs and super
stitions that existed heretofore.
Notwithstanding this, the totem
poles remain. They are blessed with
eternal interest and will ever arouse
the curiosity of the stranger and in
vite Interrogation. Tales of their
origin and significance may be told
and retold. The poles will always
prove interesting as specimens of ar
chaic art. They represent merely one
of those peculiarlties of tradition so
characteristic of aborigines.
Each tribe of Alaskans adopts an
animal, bird or plant as a sponsor.
This is dubbed a totem" The ma

in the county, is now about half
through lambing $4,000 ewes.
Even with such a large concern as
this an average increase of 100 per
cent is reported. While this very high
percentage will probably not hold out
to the finish, still the, general average
will undoubtedly be a record breaker
with this company. There are now
$4,000 head of sheep in Morrow
county to be sheared and the clip is
estimated at approximately 1900, 900
pounds. With the wool hauled in
from adjoining counties, at least g.
100000 pounds of wool will be mar
keted in Heppner this season.
Growers feel confident that they
will receive from to cents more
per pound than they were paid last
year. No wool to speak of has been
contracted for here on the Sleeps
back. Growers generally are inclined
to hold for the sales days, which will
occur in Heppner on May 26, June 8,
20 and 20. The sealed-bid system of
selling where the buyers meet in COM
petitive bidding, which was adopted
here three years ago, has been very
successful, and the bulk of the wool
will be sold In this manner.
The greater portion of the surplus
sheep, consisting principally Of mixed
yearlings and 2-year-old wethers,
which are for sale here every season,
have been turned off. About 10000
mixed yearlings have been bought at
$2.15 per head. About $1,000 2-year-
old wethers have been turned off at
s2.40 per head. These prices have
been encouraging, being fully 25 per
cent higher than last year.

WILL LIVE WITH NATIVES.
American Soldier Joins Tribe in the
Jungles of LuzOn.

Jungles of Luzon.
The simple life as exemplified by
the Ibualo and the Ifugas on the Is
land of Luzon, is good enough for L.
NJ. Murphy, formerly of company C,
10th infantry, U. S. A. He has thus
declared himself upon returning to
San Francisco from the Philippines,
and adds, furthermore, that as soon
as he has visited relatives in this
country, he will HE himself back to
the wilds of the savage jungle and
thicket
Murphy enlisted for the Spanish
American war, and made a good SOL
der. He served three years in Lu-
zon, then declined to re-enlist, but
supplied himself with a good camera
outfit and plunged into the Businesses
of the widest part of the island.
The ex-soldier at once fell in with
the head-hunting tribesmen of Luzon.
He was regarded with greatest suspi-
cion at first, but wisely donned the
garb of the native, and in time came
to be tolerated.
The chief of one cannibal tribe on
the island fell violently in love with
Murphy when he saw the Irishman's
glittering revolver and saw what eff
fective work it did at long range.
This chief was the moving spirit in
a man-eating wing of natives, and,
according to Murphy. was the best
friend he had on the island there
after.
Murphy says that since the rifle
has been introduced on Luzon the

tree-dwellers have abandoned their
aerial homes and have come down to
terra firma. They were obstinate for
time, but they soon came to appre-
ciate a vast efficiency of a bullet and
the logic of getting behind a stump
in strenuous times.
Murphy is of the expressed opinion
that the life of the savage is prefer
able to the turmoil that higher civili-
zation brings, and he will HE him

SHEEP IN MORROW COUNTY.
One of the Most Prosperous Counties
in the State.

I'm the State.
Sheep shearing has now commenced
and is general in the northwestern
part of Morrow county, especially in
that portion lying along the Columbia
river in the lower attitudes, where the
climate is somewhat milder than in
the foothills of the Blue mountains,
says the Heppner Gazette.
Taking everything into considera-
ton conditions with the sheep indus
try are very favorable in fact better
than for seevral years. There was a
big hay crop last year, the sheepmen
were we'll provided with feed, and the
sheep went on the range this spring
in exceptionally good condition. The
unusually early spring has also been
a prominent factor in adding to the
profits of the sheep growers. In
speaking from an average basis, grass
started fully three weeks earlier than
usual, and has grown rapidly.
With plenty of green grass every
where and warm sunshine, the season
is excellent for lambing operations,
which are now in progress The
lambing season, which lasts for about
four weeks in this country, is now
about half through. and a high per-
centage of lambs is being saved. Many
accounts of 100 per cent increase are
reported. The Penland Land & Live
