 When death occurs among the Es- kimos of the North, the body is taken to some suitable spot snd covered with debris of various kinds, drift wood forming large part of it.

 While the road commission party was engaged recently in cutting out the new winter mail road to the Yukon they came upon some of the poles of the old telegraph line, which is said to have been laid just prior to the time the Great Eastern laid the cable between Europe and America. The intention was at that time to make telegraph communication between the two conti- nents via Boring straits and Siberia, but the successful laying of the AtlGn- tic cable knocked the project on Cbe head R. s. Giddings, one of the road party, says that one of the poles was still standing when they arrived there, but was so rotten that it fell at small touch of the hand.-Nome Nugget.

Stewards Prophecy Fulfilled

Jnne 20, 1907, the fortieth anniver- sary of the day on which the Alaska annexation treaty went into operation is date-mark of great importance to the United States. When, shortly be- fore his death, in 1872, William II. Sew ard was asked what he believed to be the greatest achievement of bis public career, he answered: "The annexation of Alaska" He added, however, "Lut the American people will not grasp the value of that acquisition for third of century yet" This shows that Sew ard, the empire builder, was also a prophet. Seward has been dead for thirty-fiVe years, and it is only in recent times that his countrymen have appre- ciated the importance of Alaska as a possession: Strong opposition was off, fered in the house of representatives, in 1867 to making the appropriation of S7,2OO,000, the price which Seward paid for the province. Said one of annexa- tion's opponents in that chamber: "All that Alaska will ever be able to pro- duce are polar bears and icebergs." For several years nickname for the region was Stewards Folly" But time has vindicated Seward-Leslie's Weekly.
