Readers of this paper will re-

time ago of the terrible expert.
ence of Jack Kares, a former
resident of Tanana. Last March
Kares with two companions was
overtaken by a storm on the
coast between Valdez and Sew
ard and their boat was swamped.
Wet to the skin and exposed to
the wind, with temperature of
8 below, his two companions died
and Karse reached an old Indian
shack frozen almost to utter
helplessness. He kindled a fire
and for four days his only sus-
tenance was some pieces of dried
fish skin found in the shack. He
was rescued by natives and taken
to a hospital on La Touche
island.
In a letter to his friend A. G..
Frenzel, of Tanana, Kares says
he is now at Susitna, still under
the care of doctor. The letter
is dated July "a and the doctor
believed the injured man would
be able to be around within six
weeks. Several of his toes were
amputated, but it is believed he
will come out of the fearful mis-
adventure not incapacitated for
active work.
Kares says he will be on the
Yukon by next spring. When
Mr.. Frenzel first heard of the
mans misfortune he collected a

fore they had bare acquaintances.
They said nothing, refused to
promise their votes to any can
didate, conducted no mass meet
ings and had no speeches; but.
when election day came around
the solid Sioux vote went to their
own tribesmen and to the two
white men indorsed by the In
dams for offices which they had
no tribesmen competent to fill,
and the Indians won hands down.
The whites, aghast, took steps
to secure an injunction against
the organization of the county,
alleging irregularities; but the
willy Indians were familiar with
that game also. The votes were
canvassed in the county from
which Trip was detached, at
the county seat, IS miles away.
An Indian representative was on
the ground, in an automobile, if
you please, and the instant the
votes were canvassed he carried
the returns as fast as his ma
chine could go to the new county
seat. There the Indian officials
we're sworn in and the Indian
county commissioners proceeded
to effect the organization; Sc.
lected a county seat, appointed a
committee to prepare for the
construction of schoolhou ,es, a
courthouse and other public
buildings, and issued a call for a
special election to vote bonds for
these purposes. The whites were
outfought and outmaneuvered in
a perfectly executed gum-shoe
campaign, and the Sioux Indians
are in South Dakota politics to
stay. They say fatty that they
propose to take a decided hand
in all elections in counties carved
out of former Indian reserva:
tons, where Indians are largely
represented, and have a voice in
the running Of things. No one
disputes that they will.-P.-I.

Says The Hospital London], in part in an
editorial about the report 'lt is time the
view that beer has nutrtve value in itself, and
merely consists of beverage upon which certain
portion of the community ntoxicates itself, should
be exposed and discredited. The results of our
Commission show that beer is par excellence the
nutritive alcoholic beverage. All beverages because
they contain alcohol should not be regarded in the
same light. The spirit-npper is committing quite
different act from the beer drinker. When
drinks good beer he drinks and eats the same
time, Just when he eats bowl of soup.
Our Commissioners point out that might
properly be said to eat beer than certain
kinds of soup, indeed watermelon.'
