Are You Engaged ?

Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many quarrels can
be avoided, by keeping their digestions
in good condition with Electric Bitters.
S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. c.,
says "For years, my wife suffered in
tensely from dyspepsia, complicated
with torpid liver, until she lost her
strength and vigor, and became a mere
wreck of her former self. Then she
tried Electric Bitters, which helped her
at once, aud finally made her entirely
well. She is now strong and healthy. "

We are of the opinion that the Dietrich bill, so far as the commis- sion part is concerned, would be better for this section than d delegate bill. Under it there would be delegate elected from each division, and we would be able to have some representation from the Third division, whereas with only one delegate from Alas ka, Nome or southeastern Alaska would undoubtedly capture the delegate plum and We would have no representation at all. No one is foolish enough to think for q moment thal We could elect dele gate in opposition to either the First CT Second divisions. There is not a man here who could draw
 any support from the other sec- tions, and there are no candidates from the other divisions that are at all familiar with the conditions and necessities here, and even ii there were, it is safe to suppose

Senate bill 51s3 relating to min-

Senate bill 51S3 relating to min- ing affairs in Alaska, has passed tAe senate and is now before the house. This measure provides that a prospeotor shall sink shaft en quartz claims ten feet deep be- fore recording, and also that 20 days annual assessment work must be done on each claim. This is a most drastic measure and will have a tendency to curtail the develop ment of the country. No prospec- ter, unless backed by capital, can transport supplies and tools to do this amount of work before recOrd- ing, and as for 20 days assessment, t., men who have secured claims at the sacrifice of the best years of their life will have to let some of them lapse for lack of capital to keep up the work. The bill will work a hardship on all but the rich man, and if the Valdez cham Der of commerce is alive to the best interests of the country it will take measures to block this attempt to stop she development of our min eral resources.

The worst feature of the bill in- sroduced by Dietrich, providing for a commission to govern Alaska, is the provision making supreme court for the territory. When d case is appealed from one of the district judges it goes to the su- preme court, which is composed of all the district judges of the terri tory. In this way A decides the appeals from B and B decides on As cases. X judge naturally likes to have his decisions upheld and would consequently be inclined to support the decisions of his asso- eiate, who hears appeals from him, and the result Is that the supreme court. instead of being a court of appeals, is, as they call it in Arizo- na. a court of confirmation. Such a court is Tn operation in the terri tory of Arizona, and it is a notor- ious fact that out of hundreds of eases appealed, only few, which were unusually rank, were reversed It makes one more court through which cases must go before being finally decided, and by increasing the expense, lessens the chance of a poor man getting his case before an impartial tribunal.

The old cry about the govern ment deriving a revenue from Alas ka's licenses will have to cease now that all the license money is to he spent here for roads. Not only will the district have the benefit of this money. but it will also have the amount appropriated by the gov ernment for court expenses. It is more than likely that the courts will not spend as much now that the funds will have to come through congress. but even at that Alaska as whole is winner.

formed, there were two or three
cases OF suicide by men who were
discouraged and out of touch with
the brightness in life. There can
be no doubt, Of course, that there is
an element of truth in Dr. Osler's
theories, but be has propounded
nothing new. Yet any theory which
fails to take into consideration the
individuality of men must be per-
nicious in its effects. All men do
not grow at the same rate. Some
men at forty are younger than other
men at twenty-five, and others at
thirty are older in experience and
thought than some at sixty. 1t all
: depends upon the peculiar charac-
ter OF the mans brain. The work
OF the world is done at its best, we
believe, by men between forty and
fifty. The genius may do his work
and attain his maturity sooner, but
it is rot geniuses who run the world
and it is not the geniuses upon
whom we depend. 1t is the bust
ness man, the fnancier, the teacher,
the farmer, the mechanic, who are
the men that really count-the men
who do the business of the world. !
To say that these men have sur.
passed their best at forty and should
be chIoroformed at sixty is to re.

lively, they tell a marvellous story
of the superstitions and customs
which prevail among the Indians
of Alaska. Such are the totems-
the heraldic signs Of these far
Northern natives. Aside from any
amusement the totems may afford,
as chronological specimens they are
of unusual moment; as genealogi
cal records they are without par
allel, and as carvings they are
strikingly original in both concep-
ton and execution. Some are
erected as monuments to absurdi-
ties of belief, and Others as silent
eulogies to departed parents or
rulers.
Alaska offers every inducement
to the Genealogical observer. It's
people, to most of US, are practically
unknown. Research would indi-
cate an anterior relationship be-
tween the Alaskans and Asiatics.
But the natives of this Northern
district are not idol worshipers.
While they have not improved, to
any extent, in arts and crafts, their
advancement morally and intellec-
tually has been especially 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 super
seding the former. Together with
the Indian schools established by
the government, these teachings are
gradually bringing the natives to
higher standard of manhood and
are eliminating the various beliefs
and superstitions that existed here
tofore.
Notwithstanding this, the totem
poles remain. They are blessed
with eternal interest and will ever
arouse the curiosity of the stranger
and invite interrogation, Tales of
their origin and significance may
be told and retold. The poles will
always prove interesting as speci
mems of archaic art. They repre-
sent merely one of those peculiari.

aborigines.

animal, a bird or plant as spon.

ished upon the effigies. With the
Alaskans ii is color, or the lack OF
it, as long as the artistic effect is
obtained. Such is the simple phi
losophy of these northerners. They
labor under the delusion that il

Like all good people, the Alas

Generation succeeds generation. In
this manner the appreciation Of
totems is differentiated. The sue,
ceeding generation possibly may
prefer a frog or bird 70 bear.
This accounts for the variance in
design. Occasionally a pole is
erected to a departed parent,
chief, or some other dignitary. Ac-
cordingly the images are carved on
poles and erected amid much merry.
making. The genealogical pole is
illustrated in the exhibit at the Ex-
position.
Visitors to the Centennial will
notice huge pole, the topmost to-
tenn being large raven, head
downward. This pole was given
to the Alaska commission by Yen
nate, a member of the Thlingit
tribe. His mother was the honored
one. She was a member of the
Raven Clan. The significance of
the totem is obvious. A brown bear,
totem of the Kokwonton tribe, to
which Yennate's father belonged, is
under the raven. Below the bear
is the figure of an Indian holding
cane, in representation of the
woman's brother, a noted Indian
doctor and sorcerer. This unique
genealogy may only be interpreted
by memb Der of the family.
The totem poles, sixteen in all,
are from two different tribes living
on Prince OF Wales Island. At an
old village, called Tuxekan, four
were obtained. Another was pre-.
sented to the commission by Chief
"Tom," a Thlingit of Klawack. The
very large poles are from the Hy-
dab villages Sullivan, Klinkwan,
Onhonklis and Kasaan. All of the
poles, together with an enormous
dugout war canoe, were loaned by
the natives, but must be returned
to them at the close of the Expo
sition, The totem pole is as sacred
to the Alaskan family as is the old
family Bible to a Caucasian.
