 vice f. HaineS

A movement is on foot to induce the pos,ofie department ;o increase the mail service between Skagway and Haines, making 1t daily the year around instead of rri-wsekly between October 3I and May lsc ot the following year. The department has written ". A. Graves, inspector in the railway mail service 8: Skagway, regarding the matter and he has begun an invsstiga- ton into the need fer such a service.
 Many of the business men of Skagway and Haines and the officers st Fort William Ii. Seward have experienced much iuconyineuce by the lesSening of the service of .he sJauuch little Union, One of the things which has caused most annoyance is the delay iu filling orders by Skagway merchants. People of Haiues complain that after wri ing for goods now it takes two or three days to get a reply instead of being able to get what is wantedthe following day.
 Haioes readers of the Daily Alaskan are complaining because of their in- ability to get the paper daily.
 NIr, Graves will make a tripto Haiues in a few days 10 interview the people there in relation to the matter.

Company F~last evening was given
its annual inspection by the state in
spection officers, Colonel j. R.Ptime
and Major Frank Lyman, of the Iowa
National Guard, and Colonel JIG, Ohm
stead, representing the regular army
The local soldiers held up well under
the exacting discipline of the drills
and the examinations, and will un
doubtedly receive a good mark fol-
their work. The evening passed
without any embarrassment for the
officers ON account of the conduct OF
the company.
The men were put through compa

Under Sergeant Bradbury they were
given the school of the soldier, while
Sergeant Kaye led the company in
the "setting-up exercises"
After the company drills were exc

was called, while Colonel Prime held
the officers school.
The clothing and equipment of the

to be excellent.
Markings were not given out last
evening, but it is believed that the
local company will stand well uI
with its regimental markings.

in worship and gave no attention to
their passing. The men were seated
in circle singing in a mournful, mo-
notonous tone to the rattle OF what
seemed to be beans in gourds, which
were being shaken up and down to
regular time. The door of the tent
was closed to exclude intruders, but
one of their number, seeing that
there was not the slightest spirit Of
molestation, had his curiosity SO
aroused that he lifted the tent wall
slightly and peeped under at the per-
formance. The solemn-faced wor.
shippers did not allow their devotions
to be the least disturbed by this un.
grateful intrusion. An old squaw
VINO seemed to be the only guardian
of the place, saw the impertinent fel.
low and ordered him away. When
he did not promptly obey, she indig,
nantly took hold of him, giving him
violent pull as she uttered the word
"Manitou," which was their sacred
word for God. She meant by this to
convey to the rude white man the
.sacredness and seclusion of the exer.
cises within.
Those were days Of much heaviness
of heart for the subdued Indian
They were about to leave forever the
land of their fathers which they
loved. We are told that at Appomat
tox, men who had never uttered the
name of God but in .blasphemy, were
most fervent in prayer. 1t was the
cry of the soul which would not be
hushed in that hour of awful agony
1t was doubtless a feeling mucn
like this that shadowed the gloomy
heart Of these Indian braves. Once
the proud and happy monarchs Of
these western prairies and woods;
now driven before the surging col
umns of civilization he knew moi
where. To his keen mind his doom
was clear. In this thickening shadow
his soul spoke to him of "Manitou,
and he gave Him devotion.

century the inhabitants of Ceylon were
in the habit of deserting their towns.
Their customs are described in the mar

for nineteen years-from 1860 to 1870
was captive among them. He speaks
of several towns as lying desolate ow-

had forsaken them. This they did II
many Of them fell sick and two or

The worst snowdrifts experienced by

Sweden. Although the cold is not so
intense as in some of our western
states, the snowfall is heavy and con
tinuous. The snowplows Of various
kinds which are used on these roads
are said to be the most powerful In the

even this machinery fails to clear the
way, when hundreds of men must be
