 Of unknown origin, in frequent use in prehistoric times, it historically first appeared on coins, as early as the year 3l5 B. C.

It makes a very pretty orns- mens and one beaten out of silver coin by native Silversmith will doubtless come ss near bringing good luck to the wearer.
 The Swastika has been discovered on this continent among the ruins of Mex leo and central America, and is at the present time, frequently used by the Indians of Alaska ss an ornament and amulet.
 Found among the relics of all age, and peoples, from time immemOrisl tht Swastika has been considered as atalis- map; charm, to drive away evil, and bring good luck long life and prosperity to the wearer.

ALASKA AND THE PRESIDENT

The Retchikan Journal, with syco- phGntic, servtle smack, discusses the telsgrsphic reports that President Roosevelt will oppose self government for Alaska aS though that forever settles the right or wrong of the whole matter. It assumes, with slsvish self abnegation that Is entirely unbecoming citizenship In 8 republic, and such as President Roosevelt, ss 8 citizen, would be the last man on earth to assume, that DO man dare dispute the wisdom of what the president says, no matter what his been his opportunity to in form himself of the facts in relation to the subject be discusses. It's attitude is that of the monarchist who recognizes the divine right of kings.
 The fact of the matter IS, and every body knows is, that President Roose- welt knows nothing of Alaska except what he has been told. His declaration against selt.goTernment for this district was dictated by men who have gained his confidence in one way and sn other and who hold It by pretending to him that they are serving the people of this district instead of their own selfish purposes. They are men who have lied 70 him as they have lied in public addresses and in servient newspapers which do their bidding.
 The Daily Alaskan still believe that when the representatives of the people of Alaska talk with Presidet Roosevelt and explain to him she sentiment of the people of this district and the manner in which they have expressed them selves At the American court of last sp- peal-the ballot bo1-that be will, like ss have the people of Alaska, rePudi- ate those those who have assumed to dictate in AlASkAn affairs.

MOMUS FLOATS INTO
 THE CRESCENT CITY
MARDl GRAS FESTIVITIES ARE ON IN EARNEST, AND THE CROWD IS ONE OF THE LARGEST IN HISTORY.

New Orleans. February 22.-Though there have been already half a dozen balls by the various carnival societies, the popular celebration of the carnival Of 1906 was ushered in tonight with the parade of the Knights of Momus ideal weather marking the occasion. Last year the inauguration at Washington affected the far-away attendance, but with no counter attraction this years carnival promises to be among the most successful yet held. Railroad traffic has been ab- normally heavy into New Orleans dur ing the month and the hotels are already crowded. In addition to the boarding houses. an unusual number of private residences are opening their doors for the accommodation of strangers.
 The battleship Texas arrived today fol- lowing the torpedo boats Dupont and Porter and the three vessels will re- main until the close of the festivities. the crews of the vessels participating in the reception of Rex and the officers enjoying the courtesies of the carnival societies. A noisy reception was given the Texas, which is in command of Capt. G. A Bicknell and bears Admiral F. w. Dickens of the coast squadron. The vessel crossed the bar at 610 this morn- ing and dropped anchor at the head of Canal street at 4:15.
 Momus tonight celebrated the thirty fifth anniversary of his entry into the city with a pageant of seventeen floats, choosing "leaves from Oriental literature for his subject. The tableaux reproduced the folklore stories of India, China and Japan some of the latter taken from the writings of Lafcadio Hearn. A ball at the French opera followed the pa-
