ri BOY and man, Col. Bryant
IN had been soldier. AS boy
VI N his ambition had been a cadet
ship at West Point, and the
army as life career. Blessed with
wealthy parents, there seemed nothing
IN the way to the accomplishment of
his ideal when the opportune time ar
rived. At Is he began a course of
study that would At him to pass the
required examination and admit him
to the United States military acad-
.emy. At 1S the opportunity came.
There was a vacancy at the academy
to be filed by appointment from his
congressional district, and he entered
eagerly into the competition for the
coveted place, feeling confident of
winning the prize.
His most formidable opponent was
Billy Edwards, the son of a strug-
Sgling clergyman, into whose path fate
fhad thrown no special opportunities,
sbut who had improved every chance
for study that had been given him,
;:and who wished the appointment
merely as a means of securing a de-
sired education.
The two had never been friendly,
and on one of two occasions had had
some boyish quarrels over the atten-
'tions each had attempted to be-
stow upon Blossom Nathan. When
Billy Edwards won the coveted ap-
pointment every semblance of friend
ship between the two boys ceased.
and Bob Bryant refused even to as
,sociate with anyone who called young
Edwards their friend.
Grlevously disappointed in not win
ming the cadetship, young Bryant en-
tered military academy with a deter
mination to prepare himself for a
military career, trusting to his ia
sthers wealth and influence to secure
Ifor him an appointment to the army.
During their school days both boys
kept up a correspondence with Bios
ssom Nathan. until at the end of three
years Bryant insisted that she could
mot retain the friendship of both he
sand Edwards, and that all correspond
-ence between her aud his rival must
cease, or her would have nothing more
vto do with her. The young lady very
promptly informed her angry suitor
that she would choose her own
friends. and he accepted her deci
sion.
Six months after Lieut.. Edwards
had graduated from West Point and
entered the army he made Blossom
Nathan his wife. and took her to the
western post, where his command was
stationed.
Bryant in the mountains had I'm
dshed his college course, and not find
ing 1t SO easy to secure civil ap
pointment to the army, had settled
down to the study of law in his home
town, and confined his military ambi
tlons to a place in local company o
state guards.
Then came the call to arms t

As we gather today with spring Aow-
ers to do reverance to the heroes who
have gone we must look back that half
. century to review those scenes Of
conflict.
The cannon that then dealt death and
destruction are today moss covered and
buried beneath the debris Of the battle
fields of old.
Time has healed the ravages of war.
and covered with softening hand the
evidences Of that four years Of warfare.
But we have the remaining gray-haired
veterans. and the graves Of those passed
away. to remind us of the valor Of
Columbia's sons.
The generation Of today has not for
gotten, and the generations yet unborn
will not forget. the care due these hual
resting places Of nations dead.
We scatter flowers upon them in token
Of our appreciation Of their services to
their country Of yesterday. our country
Of today.
Whatever their place in life, whatever
their station. whatever their fortune, they
are deserving Of equal honor at ou
hands.
And unto them grateful nation has
dedicated this day; day on which we.
with freshest flowers. pay tribute to the
memory Of The nations heroes.

out of the race. Next came the
Douglas team. They made connec-
ton at the plug all right, but the
nozzle was not in place when the
water reached it, aud although one
man doubled the hose and sat upon
it, the attempt was a hzzIe as bad as
the juneau team. The TIeadwell
team won the $500, but had made an
outside bet of S30U that they would
make the run in three minutes or
less, and they failed by ten seconds.
But 1t was all vastly interesting to
the spectators.
Foot races and athletic contests
then diverted the crowd for awhile.
then came the indian canoe race.
Three canoes we're entered from Sitka,
Douglas and Juneau. Each canoe
was manned by seventeen Indians,
sixteen to paddle and one to steer.
Everybody was watching this race,
the several hundred Indian spectators
going frantic with excitement when
two canoes at the finish were fairly
abreast, the mighty sinewed natives
making the canoes jump almost out
of the water at every stroke of the
paddles, and the Douglas boat crossed
the line barely six feet ahead the
Sitka, winning the race and S75.
The last of the program was a
motor. boat regatta. Fifteen crafts
we're entered from the size of an
ordinary rowboat to a II ton launch.
The committee had tested the speed
of each, and ordered time handicaps
according to their best judgment.
The first boat started over the Il mile
course, Al minutes before the last one
darted from the line. No 13. with a
IS minute handicap, took first prize,
and No 10 second prize, while all
we're back in less than. five minutes
more.
Although several showers occurred
each day, they had no. effect in damp
ening the spirits of the crowd, and
the whole affair passed off without
grumbliug or disturbance worth
mentioning. G. II. q.

adverse claim then asserted for the
land involved.
Contest-A contest will not be re.
instated on the ground that notice of

failure to receive such notice is due
to the contestants negligence.

be no doubt that the American people
have acted consistently throughout in
this matter. Had not demand been
made upon the latter to give their
markets to the products of these
Islands without themselves enjoying
the markets here, the matter of equit
able trade relations would, long
since, have been settled as they were
long since settled IN the case of Porto
Rico. But equity has not been our
demand, but rather one-sided trade
arrangement. This Is due to the fact
that without a high tariff wall, the
complicated government which we
have built up here would be hoplessIy
bankrupt in less than six months. If
such a government as the primitive
people here are reasonably able to
support we're established, tariff
revenues would be unnecessary, and
on reciprocal basis no one doubts
that the American people would soon
admit our products TO the home mar
kets free OF duty if we admitted home
products to the Philippine markets
free of duty.

About the Hunter License.

A copy OF that excellent work,
The Fish and Game Laws of Cali
fornIa," together with letter from
Earnest Scahaeffle. deputy fish and
game commissioner. has been received
at this Office, and together they throw
light on subject which the sports.
men of this section have been desir-
Gus to know about, in view of the
fact that seemingly conflicting state
ments have been made relative to the
hunting license.
1t has been the general impression
of local hunters that they must take
out license if they went aGeld with
gun, no matter if they pursued only
the common Iong-Iegged jackrabbit.
The law is very plain, and if hunt
ers only fire on such wild birds OF
game as are not protected by law, it
is not necessary to take out license.
One may hunt the rabbit, bear OF
mountain lion, but he must be very
careful that be shoots at no protected
game unless he carries the necessary
tag. Says Section L of the hunting
license:
Except as provided in Section IL
hereof, every person in the state Of
California who hunts, pursues or kills
any of the wild birds or animals pro-
tected by the laws of this state, with
out first procuring License therefor,
as provided in this act, is guilty of
misdemeanor. -
This makes it very plain to what
extremities hunters may go. Any
thing not protected by law can be
shot at any time by anybody without
let or hindrance.
Section 2, to which reference is
made, states that 'rhe provisions
of this act shall not apply to any
person who on his own lands hunts,
pursues or kills any of the wild birds
or animals protected by the laws OF
this state. -
In other words, if you own ranch
or piece of ground, you can shoot
deer, doves, quail, grouse, etc., dur
ing the open season on your own
land, without taking out the license
otherwise made necessary.
As has been stated before, it is a
mlsdemeanor, attended by consider,
able fine, ito run deer with dogs, unless
the deer Is wounded. The law clears
up numb of points which sports
men il this neighborhood have been
worried over. They have felt that 1t
was compulsory for every person who
went out with a gun to first take out
Ii license, for instance.
A full knowledge of the law is
good thing for every body concerned.
and now that it has been made PLAIN,
hunters will see the business of the
enactment.

FOURTH OF JULY IN ALASKA.

celebration even seen in the north on
the 4th and 9Th of July this year.
Two days were necessary for the
whole program. Over three thousand
dollars in cash was raised by sub
scriptlon, and much of the work OF
preparation was donated. Invitations
were sent to all towns in S. h. Alaska.
to Bennett and Atlin 3. c., and
White Horse Y. T., and fare paid for
base ball teams and fire companies.
Five arches we're erected at principal
points in the town. and decorated
richly and tastefully. Business and
private houses generally we're trimmed
in manner more or less artistic.
During June. many buildings were
newly painted, and defective side
walks repaired. A dancing floor
SIXTY by one hundred feet was laid
in the Union Warehouse. OF course
no fireworks we're provided, for day
light lasts all night here at this time.
A special excursion steamer was run
to Skagway OH the third of July.
At nine q. N. on the Fourth, the
streets we're filled, hundreds came
from Douglas and TreadweIl, three
miles distant, cross Gastneaux Chan
mel. about eighty came from Skag
way, 100 miles north, and nearly fifty
of King Edwards subjects came from
White Horse, Yukon Territory, 2l2
miles distant, to help celebrate
American Independence of England.
Truly time brings wonderful changes.
The procession starting at 8 80, was
composed of the may or, city officials,
brass band, 2I1 school pupils, $40
miners, % travelling men, |. y. o. f.,
another band composed of Indian
musicians, floats, caricatures, freaks.
ETC., and citizens. Appropriate exer-
cises in the Opera house then divid
ed the attention of the crowd with
base bail game at the grounds.
The afternoon was mainly taken up
by three base ball games, the last
being for the championship of s. h.
Alaska, and $500 by the teams from
SkagWay and Juneau. The game was
very we'll played in spite of a drlzzl
ing rain, and the score was TO =, IN
favor OF Skagway. Next a broad
sword contest by Japanese, created
great interest, not so much however,
as the rock drilling contest for
prize of $3.50. The winning team of
two miners from the Mexican mine
went through the rock 36 inches in
- minutes and % seconds.
The ball at night was of course
grand affair. The orchestra had seven
pieces.
The horse races came off on the
morning OF the 9Th. The wet test was
the event of greatest interest. Three
teams competed. prize $500, distance

the facts are as stated.
'Hrhe simple fact is that the Japan
ese do not want foreigners here and

reason the facts are not generally

him to state such facts for publica-

the majority of the foreign commur-

their dislike for the Japanese, but of
the one-sided manner in which the
japanese are acting. Foreigners in
Japan stand all these kicks when
they have the least provocation. -
