s-aa INDIAN RIVER

Tis quiet little river Running eastward to the sea; Every leaf upon it's borders speaks of some sweet memory. Winding thru the shady forest, Sparkling ,clear,and icy cold, The same today as in the dim And distant days ofold. When the Thlinget lived unnoted, Ere the Russian trader came With his beads and tawdry baubles, For the priceless furS and game. As before the savage hunter Bear and fox fast disappear, So in time each sign shall vanish Which the Thlinget hand may rear. There shall finger but nlegend By the rivers grassy brink, Which will reach the hearts of passers, Who may stop and stoop to drink. Bending to the running river, They shall catch its sad refrain: "Ye who drink once of it's waters, Shall return to drink again.

A HISTORICAL SKETCH
Compiled by Miss AM. Sheets

Alaska was discovered in 1141.
 The United States purchased it of Russia in 1867 at a cost of less than two cents an acre.
 There are nearly 600, 900 square miles. Therefore the name Alas ka" meaning Great Land. The coast is deeply indented andhas an extent of p, 900 miles. The Native population is about thir- tv thousand this includes the Es- kimo. Aleuts. Creoles, Tinnehs, Thlingets, and Hydahs. In the year 1877 Dr. Sheldon Jackson and Mrs. J. Mcfarland began Presbyterian Mission work, now we have nine churches for native and four for white people.
 Point Barrow is the most nor thern point of inhabited land, The government vessel goes there once year with the mail and supplies, in the summer. There are so days the sun stays above the horizon without setting and 60 when it does not rise at all. Sometimes the question is asked, why educate the Eskimo? Why not leave them to their blub- Der and frozen fish, since we can not make merchants or doctors or lawyers of them. Very true, but they are our own native pro- teges, and as such we owe them the duty of rudimentary educa- tion. If ten years back some one had said that in ten years Alas ka would have a white popula- tion ofover 500G0 he wouldhave been ridiculed, vet today sees that prophecy more than fulfilled

STARVES RATHER THAN
ACCEPT ANY CHARITY
Napa Man Sent to Asylum for
Refusing Aid
| Special Dispatch 10 The Call

NAPA, Nov. 5.-The strangest case
of insanity ever presented to the local
authorities and those of the Napa state
asylum was that of Ole Robson, exam
ined today before Judge Gesford and
committed. Robson is a native of Nor
way, aged 81, and has a crippled leg.
He was a stationary engineer In San
Francisco until the earthquake. Since
then he has resided at Willis, Mendo-
cino county. He came here three weeks
ago and IL days ago his funds gave
out. Since then he has not had a bite
TO eat, and, although repeatedly offered
food and money, has refused TO accept
all charity.
He lost 80 pounds in IL days. When
examined today he told physicians that
he would die before he would accept
aid, saying that he would not eat un-
less sent to the county hospital in
Ukiah The only evidences of insanity
displayed were that he refused to eat
and would not accept assistance. When
taken to the asylum this afternoon he
fought and demanded that the sheriff
keep him in custody, as he intended to
demand jury trial.

Copenhagen University PROBES
s0rs Resent Idea of Admit

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 5.-The feeling
among the professors of the University
of Copenhagen who are directly con-
cerned in the prospective examination
of the polar records of Doctor Cook
is today distinctly against agreeing to
the proposal of the National geographic
society that committee of Americans
be present at the examination.
Rector Torp had conference on the
subject TO-DAY with Professor Strom-
gren, the astronomer. and DR.. C. F.
Pechule of the meteorological offices.
both of whom have been designated to
investigate Cooks records.
Professor Stromgren resented the sug-
gestion and declared he was absolutely
opposed to others than the University
of Copenhagen having anything to do
with the first examination.
The consistory of the university, how
ever has been summoned to meet to-
morrow and settle the matter. 1t is
anticipated that the majority of the
consistory will prove unfavorable TO
the plan.

NIGHT VISION IS
CALLED TREASON
Servian Bishop Is Arrested for
Dreaming About Revolt and
Telling His Experience

VIENNA, Nov. 5.-Just because Bishop
Nikador of Nish, Seryia. could not con-
troll his dreams he is facing a trial for
high treason, it was announced today,
and Will have lot of explaining to do
before he can square things with the
government.
The good bishop made the mistake
of not having an ordinary dream. In
his vision he saw a revolution in Bel
grade. the deposition of King Peter and
the proclaiming as king of former
Crown Prince George. The dream was
SO unusual that he made the additional
error of talking about it.
He told some of his friends and they
told others who were not his friends.
As a result King Peter heard it and
began to worry. He submitted the
matter to special meeting of his cabi-
net which he called hastily. After
grave consideration the ministers con-
sidered the dream as part of a propa-
ganda in favor of Prince George.
We must prosecute him or the
movement will grow said one of the
ministers
King Peter agreed and the bishop
was arrested. If he gets out of this
trouble he will try not to have any
more reasonable dreams. He will not
talk about them, anyway.

DISSENSION IN RANKS
OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Vote Favoring Mrs. Stetson De-
nOunced by Her Successor

BOSTON, Nov. 5.-While future ae-
ton Of the mother church regarding
action of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, New York, in accepting the
report of the committee that inquired
into the teachings and practices of Mrs.
Augusta F. Stetson is not known here,
two of the leaders in this city believe
the action in New York yesterday will
produce good results.
Alfred Farlow, chairman of the conf
mittee on publication, said today:
As | understand the situation the
opinion Of the New York church con-
cerning the findings of the mother
church does not in any way affect
these findings. As a matter of course
It is not within my jurisdiction to
New York situation.
Farlow tonight made public a state
ment by Virgil G. Strickler. successor
of Mrs. Stetson as first reader of the
First Church of Christ, Scientist, New
York, In which Strickler denounces the
methods which he says were used by
Mrs. Stetson's friends in securing the
vote of that church in her favor.
Striekler said:
The vote was taken at a late hour.
when fully one-third of the consreea-
tion had gone. Mrs. Stetson's adher-
ents were determined that a detailed
statement of what went on in the secret
practitioners meeting should not be
disclosed.
Their efforts in this behalf were dis
graceful. A rising vote was taken. an
actual count showing 43e voting in her
favor. The vote on the other side was
not taken. The vote will be of no bene-,
fit to Mrs. Stetson. 1t does not restore
her license to teach or practice Chris
tion Science.

Stiles, rancher of Corofino, in this

affidavit in support of Doctor Cook s

Stiles has just seen the newspaper

SWEETHEART AFFIRMs INNOCENCE
In an interview today Borderel re-
affirmed his faith in the innocence of
Nine. Steinheil, saving she knew mar
riage with him would be impossible and
that therefore the alleged motive for
the murder of her husband was un-
tenable. He added:
''She did not revive the case on my
account, for she knew the woman
whom I had loved was not the woman
whose intrigues with Faure, Chouan-
ard, Balincourt and so many others
have been exposed"
The judge continued doggedly to
force the prisoner to retrace step by
step her actions during the feverish
months following the crime, confusing
her at every turn with some new story
which she had told, or compelling her
to explain over and over again why she
had accused wrongflHiy birmingham,
the American newspaperman. Couillard,
the servant, and young Wolf. Upon
each occasion Nine. Steinheil sought
refuge behind the plea that in her

the awful iinputation that she had mur-
dered her husband and mother she had
acted upon any suggestion that came
into her head. Judge de. Wales was
particularly severe in his cross exam
