Conditions seem rather hard for the poor, decrepit old natives 1f this sec tion. After they have passed fife of activity and usefulness they are treat ed by their younger tribal associates as old broken down horses are often used turned out to starve and die lonely death. There are several cases of that kind right here in our midst, and one particularly pitiable case. King George not only old and inflrm but blind as we'll, has recently served sentence of fifty days in the Wrangell jail on charge of vagrancy, having no visible means of support and begging from house to house in order to keep body and soul together, and then often suf- fering from the bangs of hunger. Scarcely had his first sentence been completed when complaint is again made and he is re.committed. This looks pretty hard; it is pretty hard, when man has committed no great CT crime than self-preservation to serve a jail sentence. But under existing conditions it seems to be the only course to pursue. Before men will starve they will beg, and this the law does not permit. It appears to us that some provision should be made by the federal government to care for it's indi- gent wards in Alaska, so as to remove them from the courts that are at pres ent forced to look after them, as they can not be permitted to starve.- Sentinel.

4 Fairbanks special to the Seattle P.-I., bearing date of Feb. 26th, says: Thomas Thornton, who escaped from the federal jail January %, after trying to kill the keepers, was captured early this morning thirteen miles below Cinema. He slashed his throat with a knife when the officers approached, and may die. He was occupying a small tent, about half a mile from the trail. The officers crawled through the snow in the dark and heard man sharpening knife on leather boot. They fred through the tent with rifles, and Thornton called out to know who was outside. He refused to come out and seized tho knife and slashed his throat several times, cutting five inch gash. He was brought to town, where his wound was sewed. Jailer Peterson, ,,his intended victim, watched the operation and Thornton, who was eounsious though weak from loss of blood, said, %Sorry l gave you so much trouble, old man, but had to do it."

ALASKA IS A TERRITORY

In legislating for Alaska, congress uniformly speaks of it as the "District of Alaska" thus chasing it with the District of Colum bia, which likewise IS governed directly by congress, instead of with the territories, which latter are accorded self-government. While this seems to be theoretically correct view. it is in direct contradiction to the view which the supreme court ot the United States has expressed of the status of Alaska before the law.
 Congress, in continuing to call Alas ka district" has evidently overlook ed the supreme court of the United States in the case of U. $. vs. The Coouitlan, reported in 163 U. S., a7, ln which the court held in express terms that Alaska was territory of the United States, and thus came within the scope of congressional legislation applicable to the territories. In later case. that of Rassmusen vs. the United States, l97 U. s. 516, the decision in the former case that Alaska was territory was reaflrmed in emphatic terms, and the court further refused to draw the distinction, asked by counsel, between "organized" and 'unorganized" terri tories.
 It was when these decisions were drawn to the attention of the law de- partment of the government that the opinion was rendered to the president that Alaska was entitled, as territory to have cadetships at West Point and Annapolis, aud, therefore, for the first time in its history, Alaska is now to have a representative in the United States military academy.
 Hereafter, when congress proposes any legislation for the "District of AL aska,n attention should be called to the fact that this is misnomer and that Alaska is in fact territory. As Alaska is territory, it should be accorded a territorial form of government. In fact, the decisions of the supreme court of the United States on this sub feet answer effectively one argument against granting territorial govern ment. which was that if Alaska was recognized as territory, the people would assert their right to statehood. Alaska is already a territory, and therefore it's status will not be changed by any legislation which affects merely the form of tAe government for its peop1e.-P.-L.
