Tanana Too Darned Good

"Wrong Font" Thompson, the re- doubtable journalist who erstwhile manipulated the destinies of the Yukon Sun, long since set, DOW piloting the Tanaua Miner at Cinema, which for short time sojourned at Ridgetop, is writing some sizzling stuff as of yore. He thinks Panama is getting too good, and that the millennium has come to Alaska from Oklahoma, Judge Reid's home. He pens his dirge as follows:
 The wages of sin is death. Those wages have never been reduced, but un. til now they have not been collected every Monday morning-overdrafts were permissible With the coming of the new courthouse officials the old system is changed, and the sinner of to- day is the indicted criminal of this evening-the blue laws of the Puritan days are in force, and none but the new lawgivers may transgress them with impunity.
 A few weeks since two noble little gladiators got together in a squared circle at the Auditorium and began to do things to each others features in the presence of a small but select audience of the best people of Fairbanks. That exhibition was the finale of pugilism ln Alaska, for the next day the boys were arrested, the relentless sleuths of jus. tice began collecting the names of the witnesses, that they might be indicted by the next grand jury, and Capt. Barnette left hurriedly for the outside,
 Frank Bascom Hall, seller of bibles, hymn books, the Tanana Miner and "Three Weeks, whose headquarters is at Halls book store, Fairbanks, some days ago started Christmas potlatch for the kids of Fairbanks. To every innocent little tot who spent two-bits in his emporium Frank gave num- bered ticket emitting the kid to one chance in the Christmas drawing, at which the holder of the lucky ticket would receive Autograph pictures Of the birth of Christ, his crucifXion and resurrection. Thursday the United States district attorneys office notified Mr.. Hall that such sinful doings would not be. tolerated in Alaska and that he must call the potlatch off or go to jail.
 A little goodness is a dangerous thing in the Alaska of today. Unless you can read your title clear to the mansions in the skies; unless you can walk the paths of righteousness and virtue without a single footslip, you had better mush on, for you are up against the good and pure, and up against it hard, and without warning or previous instruction. Nail your mar riage license over the door, and carry a bible in your breast pocket or get cut, for the millennium has come to Alaska all the way from Oklahoma.

Stone implements used by some pre- historical people of this region have just been unearthed at the present Moosehide Indian village, a mile below Dawson. The find was made last week by Peter Thompson, Moo5ehide h. dian, while digging six feet beneath the surface, to make a cellar. Twenty stone pieces, most of them shaped into arrow or spear head, were uncovered on a spot few feet square. With them was found what undoubtedly was a stone hammer. The Indians are pug zled.

From AtIin comes the news of the ac cidental death of Joseph Peno, a young Spaniard who has been engaged in mining on Pine creek all this season. Peno had gone into the brush near Dis covery to get some fire wood. He was returning home carrying heavy log on his left shoulder. When crossing sheet of glare ice he apparently slipped and fell. The log fell on his head, crushing his skull and causing instant death. Alarmed by Peno's absence, his partner went in search of him and came upon his body lying frozen solid in large pool of blood.

The Canadian government is consid ering plans to open the Atlinto river, which connects Atlin with the chain of lakes touching the White Pass railway at Carcross The Atlinto river is three and third miles in length and crooked, swift and full of boulders. Charles Mc,'herson, director of surveys of the Yukon, who has been making survey of the river in behalf of the public works department of Canada, has pre- pared his report. He estimates that the proposed improvement can be car ried out, and the channel of the stream strengthened and deepened sufficiently for the Cleaner to go through to Atlin from Carcross, aud that the work of. improvement will cost 560,0OO to S75,- GOO.

CHANGE IN CHURCH GOVERNMENT
PAPAI DOCUMENT effective

Rome, Oct. 3l.-Next Tuesday, three
days from today, will be one of the
most important in the history of the
American hierarchy OF the Catholic
church. since it is then that the re-
cent Papal document Sapienti Can

ment is considered by churchmen the
most important that has been issued
for the government of the Catholic
church In many centuries. and is of
special interest to American and all
English speaking Catholics.

court of appeal in the Catholic church
under the new system will be the

Heretofore parish priests having
some dispute in congregations had to
hire an agent to get news concerning
the status Of their case and to receive
the papers of adjudication. Neither
bishops nor priests will need hereaf-
ter TO employ the "spedizioneri," OF
agents OF any kind. Archbishops and
other prelates who have frequent
business with the Curia will continue,
however. to have their official repre-
sentatives at Rome, but the parish
priest will be the beneficiary by the
abolition of the agent.
