FIRST GOLD FOUND IN ALASKA
Discovered by a Russian Trader 1T j 1892 on Anauk River.

Discovered by a Russian Trader in r 1882 on Anaulx River.
 | Gold was first discovered in Alaska : on the Anauk river, a tributary of the
 Kuskowim river, which joins the lat
 ter stream about twenty miles be- low the trading post of Kalamakofisky.
 The Anauk river was discovered by
 Ivan Siinenson Lukeen in 1892, at which time he built fort, called Lu- 1 keen's fort, on the KnskoWim river,
 twenty-five miles above the mouth of ] the Anauk It was partly destroyed by natives in 1s41, and rebuilt by Kala- { makoff, Russian trader, afterWard, 1 and called Kalamakoff redoubt.
 In 1882 the headquarters of the Rus
 sian-American Trading company were
 at sitka, and supplies were transported thence to Lukeen's Fort by way of ] Nushagak river, Tic-chic river and lake, and down the Anauk river. to the Kuskowirn river and thence us-stream , twenty-five miles to the fort. Tn 1887 the yearly supplies were sent in by way of the mouth of the Kushowim {. river, and the old way abandoned as a summer route and used only for the, purpose of vending out the malls dur ing the winter by dog teams, It was
 the only winter route the Russians
 ever used from any point on the Yu-
 kon to the outside (Sitka), and was only abandoned for the purpose after
 they left the country.
 1t was while on one of these trips In 1892 that the Russians discovered gold
 on the Anauk, and 1t is known to-day as the YellW River of the Russians. It is not known whether they ever att tempted mining on any large scale, or whether they found gold in paying quantities, but 1t is thought to be the first time on record of gold being found in this country.
 Lukeen was both Of Russian and Spanish American Creole parents in. the Ross colony In California. He was we'll educated at the Sitka school and proved to be an active. energetic and Intelligent officer In 1863 Lukeen as-7 'cended the Yukon river from St. Mi- chael to Fort Gibbon, then at Hudsorl's Bay company trading post, which was built by McMurray, who descended the orcupine river in 1s47. Lukeen was the first man who connected the Pe1ly riv- CT of Campbell and the sea. He re- turned to St. Michael that fall. Tn 1866 the Russian garrison at Qlamakoff re- doubt in charge of Dementoff, was withdrawn, the United States having purchased Alaska from the Russians.-- Ketehikan Mining Journal,

Longs former books were so much ad- mired. 4 beautiful frontispiece ia col- ors and gold Is an added feature to the
 twelve full page and two hundred smaller illustrations in this book. AS a specimen of a beautiful book on the outdoor life, 1t stands easily first to- day. Ginn and Company publish It through their Trade Department at Boston at s1.50 net.
 It is refreshing to find a book that thoroughly describes the Philippine Is lands themselves, their history, geos- raphy, people and customs in an inter esting and vivid manner, as is done by President Fred ". Atkinson, of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute in a work recently reviewed. Mir. Atkinson was the first general superintendent of education in the Philippines, and or ganized the schools of the islands. His work is essentially descriptive, not controversial, has one hundred illustra-
 lions from photographs, and is pub lished by Ginn and Company through their Trade Department in Boston.
 In the December issue of the Political Science Quarterly Professor George H. Haynes of Worcester, Mass, discusses the tendency toward popular control of senatorial elections, and the methods taken in the various commonwealths for limiting the choice of the legisla- ture in the selection of Uinted States senators. Professor Frank Haigh Dix on, of Dartmouth college, describes re- cent attempts on the part of the states
 to regulate railways; and Mir, Royal Meeker analyses the arguments ad-
 yanced by supporters of the pending shipping subsidy bill. Other leading articles in the December Quarterly are
 "The Municipal Code of Indiana" by Professor Fairlie, of the University of Michigan; "Cemmunisttc Societies in the United States by Professor Bushee of Clark college; ''Berlin's Tax Problem by Professor Brooks, of swarthmore college; and Private
 Property in Maritime War;" by Giulio
 Marchetti Ferrante, secretary of the Italian legation at Berne, Switzerland. Besides the usual book reviews, the number contains record of political events from Nay to November. i There is a treat in store for readers of the Christmas issue of Appleton's Booklovers' Magazine. The illustra- tions in color are very handsome, A Christmas poem, "The Princess of the Tower" by Bliss Carman, opens the number. Alvan F. sarborn contri- butes a very interesting article on
 "Montmartre," which is fully illus trated, and there is a study of ''Bever- idge, the Self-made Man." from the pen of George Horace Lorimer.

SOME or THE LATEST BOOKS OF
 THE SEASON

sThe Debtor" by Mrs. Mary E. wII-
 kins Freeman-Rev. Washington
 GIadden's "The New IdOIatryr-Mrs.
 Linseotfs sBright Ideas for Enter
 taininE."
 A leading work of fiction of the year, unmistakably so, is Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's latest work. "The Debtor, '' published by Harper 6 Bros, and which has already had a great sale in this country, and excited the foreign critics. As was to be expected from the authors previous work, the literary quality is unquestionably excellent. In 'sThe Debtor Mrs. Freeman has tenn porariIy shifted the scene from her New England field to a New Jersey vil- lage. The Cambridge of the novel Is no doubt modelled upon Metuchen, N. J., where the authors home Is, and has been since her marriage to Dr. Free man in 1902. Excellent as have been Mrs. Freeman's other psychological studies, her newest work is her most successful, and shows greater power and grasp of character and increased skill In the handling. It is original, ef- fective and striking in its vigorous fac ing of moral issues, and as a mere tale appeals largely to the sympathies, be- ing distinctly human in the incon- sistencies 1t portrays.
 The author writes with an acute un- -derstanding of the miserable make shifts to which the Carroll family are driven to keep up an appearance of affiuence under progressively straiten- ed circumstances, leading logically to a conclusion that Is only saved from tragedy by the redeeming power of love. In spite of the opportunity which her theme affords her, Mrs. Freeman has happily avoided making her story in any sense gloomy one.
 When the crash comes Carroll sends his family to the home of an aunt in Kentucky. Charlotte, the younger daughter, turns back, however, to stay with her father, and when Carroll, ut. terly beaten down, decides to commit sutcide and comes back with laudan- um in his pocket to his supposedly de- serted home, he finds Charlotte there with dinner and an affectionate well come awaiting him. While the family situation works it's way out the friend. ship between Ralph Anderson, a young merchant of the village, and Charlotte has developed into a delightful love affair. i.
 The character sketches are admira- ble, evidencing keen observation, and the true artistic touch, and Mrs. Free mans talent for portraiture is again splend1dly demonstrated. $1.5O; for sale by the Pease, Lewis Co.

In. the vestry the man explained that he had been constrained by sheer fright to consent to the marriage but had no desire whatever to be united to that or any other bride MT.

known writers best vein. Always fore ible, trenchant and vigorous in his style, Dr. Gladden's work in The New Idolatry' stands out bold and promin- ent in these respects. and the book will command a hearing even from the many who differed from him in his att tacks on the tainted money ques- tion. This notable book Is a protest against the cOmmercializing of gov- ernment, of education, and of religion; against the growing tendency in church and state to worship power and forget the interests of justice and free- dom; against the dethrOnement of God and the enthronement of Mammon. It is a splendid appeal for a revival of ethical idealism in our national life. Cloth, 12mo. Net, s1.20. Postage. ten cents. Copies also at the Pease, Lewis Co.'S.

EVERY CHANCE FOR A FULL
VOTE.

In Raleigh, as in most other cities
and towns in which there was no OPP
position to the dominant party, it
has been felt for some years that the
primaries as they were conducted
were, at best. hap-hazard affairs
and all too frequently not representa-
tive of the best sentiment of the ma
jority of the people. Several causes
have combined in the past to lay the
primaries open to that suspicion. For
one thing they have been held either
at night, for a limited period and
without proper precautions for a fair
ballot; or, if held in the day and for
several hours, the polls have been
infested by a horde of workers for
various candidates of the Gins" who
succeeded in making the choice of the
voter both thankless and disagree
able matter to express.
AS a consequence, many primaries
of the past have called out scarcely
a half of the qualified voters of the
cities-an unhealthy sign of a lack of
government. With the Indifference
of the voter, there follows a lack of
town pride, a lack of watchfulness,
and the chance of misgovernment.
The new primary law, drawn so as to
give every man the right and the
power to express his preference free
ly and without undue influence should
re-create the natural interest of the
citizen in municipal affairs and tend
to make him active for the ends of
progress and reform.
With the Australian ballot, whereby
the voter may have time to prepare
and cast his ticket undisturbed by
"heelers," and with the polls open
practically all day, there is no excuse
for d failure to exercise the franchise.
Let there be full vote on the goth,
and let it express in its decisions a
determination on the part of the peo-
pie to do the best by the city, un-
swayed by influence or mere personal
preference or appeal.

REMARKABLE LETTERS.

The drink habit with many men has
time was when the man could of his
own will stop drinking, but he said to
himself: 81 am in no danger. When
find that the love of drink is strong
err than my will will swear off. But
when the time comes that the disease
has it's strong hold upon
him and he cannot by the exercise
of will-power save himself
from his appetite. He is like a
man in the control of any other di-
sease. He cannot heal himself, but
must have a physician, Fortunate is
the man dominated by the love of
strong drink when he comes to the
point that he is willing to put himself
in the hands of those who make it i
life work to cure the malady, for when
thirst for alcohol is stronger than a
mans will it is a malady.
The News and Observer has been
printing for some days series of let
ters written by men who had been
treated at Kelley Institute for the
drink habit, cured and made effective
and successful business men. 1t is the
most remarkable series of letters that
has been printed in this decade, for
they are written by men with the I'M
selfish motive of helping their fellow
men. The man who has read these
letters must have been impressed with
the fact that the writer's had suffered,
and after long suffering had found re-
lief and happiness. Naturally men
hesitate to tell of their failings, but
is it not a noble spirit that prompts
a man to seek to take u brother by the
hand and show him the way to mas
terry of himself? That is what prompts
these letters. There is NO reason why
any man should endure the agony of
bondage to the drink habit when he
reads the story of men who were
saved from making shipwreck of life
by the treatment given at Kelley In
stitute. The man who helps a friend
to conquer his appetite by putting him
on his feet again, as Kelley treatment
does, is showing himself a hjend in
deed to the brother who needs only that
good chance to become a successful
business man and useful citizen.
Therefore we desire to say that the
writer's of these letters giving their
factors.
