sum of s45.000 has been turned over to the government and that in return we have received from Washington $l25.- 000, they will, perhaps. pause in their l shouting to be turned loose Who in Nome would want anyhow to be elected to a legislature sitting at i Juneau and to go there every year on l a traveling allowance of 15 cents a mile? He must be either wealthy man to accept the place or be in the pay of wealth to meet his expenses, if poor.
 It is known, of course, that such a | Legislature could not tax mines unless l they were patented, and the result would be that while the owner of the richest mine on the third beach line would be asked to pay taxes only on his machinery, the comparatively poor man would be compelled to pay on all his personal property.
 The expense of maintaining the leg
  compared to the expenses of meeting the other expenses which are insepara- blc from d real self governing ter ritory In the first place the territory must be divided into counties. and the usual county officers and officials must be maintained. There must be coun- ty treasurer a county clerk, county courts. county superintendent of pub lie instruction, health officers. insane asylums, prisons, board of supervisors. county surveyors and recorder, and the territory must maintain it's own peni- |tentiary or pay for their prisoners at some penitentiary outside. and what do we get for all this?
 A lower house of. say, A elected rep lresentatives and an upper house com posed of men who are appointed by the governor who is, of course appointed by the president.
 The judges would still receive their appointments from Washington and all federal officials would be paid by the federal government but for our armies of county officials and territori- al officials the poor wretch who holds a little personal property would be compelled to foot the bills
 Liberty is a fine slogan. Men will suffer much to gain it. But should an overdose of it threaten to destroy any people by robbing them to support it. it is a mighty poor pet
 It seems ridiculous to call the grant ing of territorial legislature the granting of liberty, anyhow. The peo- pie of Alaska are amongst the earth's most free. Washington does not say they are unfit for self government. It only says that the geographical condi- tions and certain circumstances con- nected with the relative locations of the poulatiOn render the establishment of a territorial legislature inexpedient He who shouts about liberty in Alaska means simply liberty to elect a few rep resentatives to practically impotent and decidedly cxtravagent legisla- ture
 If that is liberty the meaning of the word must have changed

had given up all hope of her recov-

she told me that she had tried a
number of medicines, but that none
of them had helped her.
Mr.. Henderson and his wife had a
strong prejudice against the old In
dian medicine man, and never
missed a chance to abuse and ridi-
cule him, calling him crazy old

old mans annoyance; but now, all

pitifully begged his help. The old

A BEAVER FALLS PIONEER.
Continuation Of Mrs. TarbIe's Story Of
Her Indian Experiences.


On November 21st, 1858, when |
was fifteen years and three months
old, my first child was born, at the
house Of John Moore, half breed.
Ny only attendants were two
sluaws. When my baby girl was
one week old my husband came and
took me home in sled. In crossing
the creek one of the runners broke
through the ice and both baby and
were dumped into the creek.
was much frightened, as had heard
my mother tell of the great danger
of taking cold at such time. /
named my baby Althea; she has long
been a mother herself and lives in
Minneapolis.
| | should doubtless have been
spared all further trouble in this
world but for the wonderful skill of
the principal Indian medicine man. !"
He had become interested in me, a
pale face, able to talk to him in his
own language. He used to take
me with him to gather roots and
herbs and wild flowers and herbs,
and he would explain their medicinal
qualities. / was a ready and willing
pupil. Remember, | was there in
the wilderness without books, papers
or even people of my own race. |
was delighted to learn from him.
and he seemed to take great pleas
ure in instructing me in the mys-
teries Of how to select and how to
use the herbs, etc., and how to COM
pound the remedies he used, and
which certainly were wondrously
effective. | little dreamed when
helping him prepare his horrid,
nasty messes, as | at first used to
consider them, that they would not
only save the lives of my babies and
my own, but in later years help
many of my friends when all the
wisdom of the white doctor and all
other remedies failed. Under the
medicine mans treatment neither
baby nor was any worse for our
soaking in the ice water of the
creek.
Mr.. Carrothers left me the next
day after the upset in the creek,
and started to St. Peter for pro-
visions, as he could get them much
cheaper there than at the Agency.
While he was gone, thanks to the
influence of the medicine man, the
Indians came every day, bringing
me game, milk, corn and doing ev-
erything they could for my comfort.
The squaws chopped and carried in
wood, for my house was very cold
and | had to sit close to the stove
with my baby wrapped in a blanket
which one of the squaws gave me.
Some Of the Indians would come
every day and taking a big pipe
and filling it with kinnikinnick Tor
dried red willow bark, they would
pass it around and in turn hand it
to me. To please them | would at
first make believe to take Whit,

til they would come again.
The next summer | put in a gar
den. My husband worked at the
Agency. Late in July David Car
rothers, my brother-in-law, and fam
lily, and a Mr.. Henderson and wife
! came from Blue Earth county and
lived with me. The Indians were very
fond of my little girl and named her
Chashio. They would come up back
Of the house and call her and she
would hug and kiss her. We would
frequently go to their tepees. We
were very happy and knew no fear.
Before this the land had been sur
veyed and was rapidly being settled.
Nothing of Importance happened
until June. 1862, when the money
which the government had agreed
to pay the Indians for their land
was delayed on account of the War
of the Rebellion. The Indians could
not understand the delay and talked
very angrily about it. Every one
tried to explain to them the reason.
The Indians claimed their squaws
and papooses were starving. In the
latter part of July they broke open
the government warehouse at the
Upper Agency and carried out some
flour. Some of the settlers were
terribly frightened, but l was not.
| was practically an adopted child of
the Sioux and had the special pro-
lection of their great medicine man.
Then, too, had nursed them in
their sickness, dwelt with them in
their camp, ate with them, smoked
with them, and supplied them with
meals when they came hungry to
my house. For months when | first
came among them | must have
starved but for their bringing me
food. | had no cause to fear any of
them. The troops from Fl. Ridgely
were at the Upper Agency under
Lieut.. I. J. Sheehan, Of Company
c, 9th Minnesota, and they soon
suppressed the matter in agitation.
The Indians warned me that they
were going to kill all the white set
tiers, out did not believe or give
any heed to the warning at ALL
| know that the autumn of 1861
closed very unfavorably. Crops
were light, especially with the Up
per Sioux; they had little or moth
ing. Early in the fall of 1861 Agent
Galbraith made requisition on the
Indian Department for SIS, 900 out of
the Relief and Destitute Indian fund.
From the middle of December, 1861,
to April. 1862, many of the Indians
would have persisted of starvation
but for government aid. But in the
latter part of the summer of 1862,
all danger was really over.
Tuesday, August 18th, 1862, a
Republican county convention of the
citizens of Renville county was held
at our house, and Mr.. Carrothers,
my husband, was chosen delegate to
the congressional convention, to be
held at Owatonna on the 10Th. On
the morning of the 18th he left

FIGHTING AGAINST SLEEP.
Experience of a Traveller In Crossing
the Cobb Desert

Experience of Traveller In Crossing
the Cobb Desert.
Many difficulties must the traveller
contend with when crossing the desert
of Cobb, and one of these is the almost
overwhelming desire to sleep. Hans
Doring writes in the North China
Daily News: Hitherto I have thought
that travelling by carts over stony
roads and staying in Chinese inns at
night was the hardest thing foreign
traveller In China was called upon to
endure, but since / have Travelled with
q caravan Of camels I have changed
my opinion. The monotony of the des-
ert by day and the bed of camels' sad
dies at night, the evil smell Of camels
and the Slowness of their drivers and
the acrid, choking smoke Of the little
fire on which ones food Is cooked
none of these things Is so trying to
the foreigners as the sleepiness which
attacks one in this high region. This
to me was real torture. Travelling
through the cold night with no other
company than dull Chinese, who seem
to sleep while walking alongside the
camels or while sitting on their backs,
and being weighed down by heavy
sleepiness is the worst thing I have
endured.

Of every effort, fall asleep. Presently
you wake up and find yourself on the

whether you are alive or dead. Then
you try to keep yourself awake by
walking and talking a bit to the camel

are just as sleepy as yourself. A few
