ments and kindred thefts for 1906
amounts to sf4.739,G53, about 5000

cases the figures represent the total
of many years of stealing which was

A better comparison will be made
with the Years 1894 to 1897 In 1874!
The entertainments. ETC. amounted 10
s25.2S4,112. and for the next three
years averaged over $1o.0o0,000 a

the panic of the year before. but It

"The Alaskan says Jhe Juneau town council has recently taken 8 new hold and passed 8 set Of wherrases and a resolution. The burden of the prayer is for au act that will put the collection of licenses ID the hands Of the town council, and will also allow the cities Of Alaska to revel in the luxury of bonded Indsbtedness.' That Juneau town coun- ell has a happy faculty of always taking hold Of the wrong end Of things
 The Alaskan is sauthOrity for the state msug that excursioujsts on the last yoy- age of the steamer Spokane presented her captain with a solid silver drinking set. Perhaps 1t was some influence of that character that invariably brought the Spokane to Ketchtkan in thenight and almost as invarirbly caused her to sneak down 8 back alley when she made the place In daylight, all through the season"

The boy is nine years of age. Both the woman and loo . had been trying to get out of the tent to notify the nelghbors but the Jap had prevented them from leaving.

Haiues, Sept. I3th-This afternoon Judge Le Levre held an inquest over the body of the Indian who died at Pyramid Harbor, the jury finding that he came to hls death through liquor administered by a Japanese named E Toklrshiueo, and that the Jap had entered the home ,tenl of the Indian
 with criminal intent and refused to leave when told to do so by the Indian. The Indlan,s name was James SchoOn

THE FIGRT IS ZION

Some friends of the cause have asked the editor of the Miner why he has not had as much to offer lately on the sub 5sct o, territorial government ss had formerly been with him a ruling pas siou The question is easily answered. Ic ls because he considers the light won in iac:, practically all over except ,hs shouting. That is certainly the condition as applied 10 the campaign Of education begun by h.m twenty years ago, renewed wHh the inception Of the Ke,ch.saa's pio5esr newspaper, and continued until the press and people of Alaska have been made practically a unit in their adhesion to and advocacy Of the cause Of popular home govern. ment. He is 10th to strike a fallen enemy, or co continue 8 fight already won. and is content to surrender all the honor and credit to those who entered the fray later on, and to whose earnest pess and courage is due the victory. Uutll, therefore, something in the way oi argument more effective than the Fslse statements and falser reasoning thai is now opposed lo the cause is brought to ,he fore, the Miner will be content with the consciousness Of a duty well and faithfully pertormet-ot Of 8 vic tory honestly achieved iu the education Of the people of Alaska into a high sense and apprehension Of their poIid- cal rights and duties. - E=tchikan Miner.
 The Alaskan cannot say that it en- tireIy agrees with the optimism of the Miner. The papers have made a good 6gh. and have lne situation in such shape that ig can be well handled from now oD. But the net democratic and republican conventions must both pass strong e0udemnatory resolutions of Governor HOggatt and send them to Washington, and when they do the matter will be eIinched Ass repub- lcan. newspaper. The Alaskan expects that the republican convention which aill meet in Juneau in November will pass such resolutions and pass them as shortly after it gets organized as POssi. bic.

SHOULD NOT BE DONE

The contention over the purchase of school books still continues. This is rs .retsable but it appears that no one is at fault. The school board ordered the new books used in the schools be- cause they were the latest and best adapted. L.. A. Harrison company agreed to supply the books aud permit the schoo. board to set the margin Of pro6l which the latter thought the company was entitled to on them. Everything was done, apparently, to get the books that should be used and Install them for the lowest price. Des- bite thi, the suggestion is being made .ha. the school board should handle the books and supply them to the students at cos. price. This certainly should DO. be done. The school board Is not 10 -hs school book business. Merch- ants i1 town psy taxes for selling the articles required in schools and it is not within the province ot the school board to attempt to set itself up as a business institution. Mr. F. B. Wurz0acher, il lB understood as a board member, is opposed to such 8 plau and it is hoped that the other members O' lhe schoo, board gre of 8 like frame Of mind.

But when He singles cut one. seemingly so necessary to the hap piness and well being of others. sur rounded by all the ties and blessings which make life beautiful--a devoted husband, tender parents ,affectionate brothers and sisters--and Swithout moments warning, separatfs her from all these and gathers her to Himself, we realize then. indeed that God has His mysteries of grace-ways that we cannot tell"
 Such. indeed, is the shock sustained by world of loving. sympathizing friends. in the death of Mrs. Virginia Mason Erwin wife of Mir. James Hem ry Erwin, and eldest daughter of pr. and Mrs. Jas. M, Mason.
 While on her way to visit her par ents in Eufaula, she was seized with fatal illness and passed away just before reaching her destination. Kind- ly. gentle hands, though strange. min istered to her in her last moments: but her journey was ended. not, indeed, in her earthly fathers house. but in her Heavenly Father's-in r'the house not made with hands" as
 The sad intelligence was immediate ly conveyed to her distant husband. who had but a day or two before bade her God speed" on her way. and to her brothers and sisters in other cities. With the exception of one brother. pr. E. M. Mason, all the family as soon as possible gathered in the saddened home.
 Mrs. Erwin was one Of nine chill dren, and occupied a place in the fam fly, which only an eldest daughter can fill--the close friend and companion of her mother and a second mother to her brothers and sisters. Her death Is the first break in the home circle. and our hearts throb in sympathy for each member of the bereaved family. and for the grief stricken husband bowed down by the sense of his loss,
 The profusion of flowers--the choic- est blossoms from the homes of Eu- faula and many beautiful designs from friends in other places testify to the loving memory in which Mrs. Erwin is held.
 The funeral services, which were af- fecting in the extreme. took place at Dr. Mason's home. Rev. H. T. John son. pastor of the First Methodist Church, officiated assisted by Dr. J. NJ. Dannelly and Rev. R. A. Moody
