Higginson. (The Macmillan Co.) When the Russians first came to the island of Unalaska they were told that vast country lay to the eastward and that its name was Al-ay-ek-sa- Their own island the Aleuts called Nagun-Alay eksa, meaning "the land near the Alay- eksa."
 The Russians in time came to call the country itself Alashka the peninsula, Aliaska and the island, Unalashka. Alaska is an English corruption of the original name.
 Ella Higginson says that a great Rus sian moved under Inspiration when he sent Vitus Behring out to discover and explore the continent lying to the east ward; two great Americans-Seward and Sumner-were inspired when, nearly a century and a half later they saved for us in the face of the bitterest scorn, op- position and ridicule, the country that Behring discovered and which Is now coming to be recognized as the most glorious possession of any people, but first of all were the gentle. dark eyed Aleuts inspired when they bestowed upon this same country-with the simplicity and dignifled repression for which their character Is noted-the beautiful and poetic name which means "the great country"
 Every year from June to September  thousands of people go to Alaska. This means. Ella Higginson says, that they take passage at Seattle on the most lux urious steamers that run up the famed inside passage to Juneau. Stka, Wran- gell and Skaguay This 10-day voyage Is very pleasant we are told. But a per- son who contents himself with this will know as little about Alaska as a for eigner who landed in New York, went straight to Niagara Falls and returned at once to his own country, would know of America.
 The author says given a fair chance. the spell of Alaska falls upon every lover of beauty who has voyaged along the far-northern snow pearled shores with the violet waves of the North Pacific ocean breaking splendidly upon them
 q know not how the spell Is wrought, nor have I ever met one who could put the miracle of its working into words No writer has ever described Alaska; no one writer ever will; but each must do his share according to the spell that the country casts upon him."
 This book is splendidly illustrated rom photographs and is considered to be one of the best if not the best book yet writ ten on Alaska It is surely --ery inter- esting. And, woman wrote too' remember.

of them. have their shelves filled with books and so-called studies of the west as it was in long gone days of the cowboy In all his glory and as it is now.
 For all the good purposes that most of these books accomplish in picturin s truly the west now or in the past, they might as well be dropped in the bot tom of well.
 MT. Stewart Edward White writes charmingly of the west and there are a few, very few, other writers who know, love and picture truthfully the western country, and among this last lot of scribes can now be added MT. Edgar Beecher Bronson.
 MT. Bronson was a young newspaper man in 1876. At that time MT. Bron- son was a private secretary to MT. Clarence King, who was then engaged in compiling from his notes the re- ports and maps of the field work on the 10th parallel which scientifically remain his greatest monument, assisted in this work by s. F. Emmons, James T. Gardiner and Arnold Hague, his field staff.
 MT. Bronson heard so much of the west that he simply couldn't stand 1t any longer. So, soon after finishing his work for MT. King, MT. Bronson went to the west and became a real cowboy, in the days when there were real cowmen; not many flying around loose these days.
 In his book, "Reminiscences of a Ranchman," of 12 chapters, each chap ter really a complete short story, MT. Bronson tells of his experiences, real and not imaginary experiences in the west. How he became a cowboy, aft erward buying a ranch of his own, his struggles to make money, how he grew to love the western country and only a the end left 1t because of the federal laws passed to permit fencing of the grazing lands.
 The descriptions of the Indians, along and near the Canadian border, even down to Oklahoma all over that coun- try, is as good as one can find any where in present day book. The last sun dance held near his ranch, the danger of living in a halfway pro- tected condition, all the particulars of real, underscored real western life are in MT. Bronson's sure enough western "reminiscences.
 If you wish to know the west as it really was 30 years ago, take lick at this book. You'll enjoy it.

 AGAINST MRS. kEEGAN

Mrs. Myra Keegan. the Douglas woman who escaped prosecution un- der the territorial statutes after she had been indicted on the charge of bringing stolen goods into this coun- try, may not be so lucky under the laws of the United States. She was arrested yesterday on complaint filed by Deputy Customs Collector George Mason. charging her with fraudulently bringing into the United States dutiabie goods rom Mexico.
 Complaint was filed before United States Commissioner Sames who fixed bond at S250. Alter being ip custody for some time. Mrs. Keegan furnished the required bond. Charles F.. Crites and J. J. Benton becoming sureties. A preliminary hearing ot the case will be held this week be fore Commissioner Sames.
 The territorial case against Mrs. keegan was dismissed after indict ment on the ground that it was not within the Jurisdiction of the territor- ial district court. She is alleged to have removed valuable goods from Mrs. Gatliff's store in Agua Prieta and secreted them in Douglas.

Visit of Col. J, c. McClintock Stimulates Interest among
 Military Men
tFrom Douglas ln,ernstionalD.

rrom DougiaS lnter3ationall
 As result of the recent visit os Colonel J. c. McClintock of the Ari zona national guard it is likely that steps will be taken to organize an infantry company here. The full strength of the territorial force con sists of regiment Of twelve com. panies and troop of cavalry and at present the complement ,is short but three companies. While here with Governor Sloan Saturday. Col. Me Clintock met several of his old com. rades in arms of Rough Rider days among them Harry Van Treese and Johnny Mullen. Col. McClintock dur. ing the Spanish war was captain of one of the Rough Rider troops and for long time Mir Van Treese was his orderly. MT Mullen was in an other troop. These three members of Rooseyeit's immortal regiment had onite a little reunion in the Gadsden lobby and among other things dis cussed was the disirability of Doug las being represented in the national guard of the territory. Being one Of the largest cities of the territory and located on the border. it was the opinion of the ex-Roueh Riders that Douglas should have a company of ruardsmen here.
 While nothing was given out by Col. McClintock on the subject. it is known that he would be pleased if company were organized here. but representations to that effect should come from Douglas. and il is felt that if it is desired to organize a company here. now is the time to get hHHg sra. oh Al. ,t vacancies in the regiment and as there are other places in the territory quite willing to undertake the organ ization of the company.
 A man who has had much exper fence in military affairs said yester- day that if company were organ ized here Col McClintock would be pleased and that he would see to 1t that the organization would be pro yided with the best arms available
 The advantages of company of national guards here are too numer- ous to mention" said this man. ITO begin with, there would be located here a hundred rounds of arms and ammunition available for any emer- gency. And as Douglas :s so situated as 10 be the scene of some possible trouble in the future. fl would not be out of place to have a company of well drilled and we'll trained soldiers here. There are plenty of halls In which to drill here and the streets furnish as good drill grounds as could be desired.
 Personally, would like very much if some man well informed on military matters would Ja.le the ini- ,iative in this matter and get the or ganiZation of company under way. There are scores of young men in Douglas. I believe. who would take an interest in the company. Many Of them spend their evenings down town and they no doubt would take pleas ure in going through the drilling tac.I

 Be Across Border
lFrom Douglas 1nternationalD

ifron DOugidS lnterndtiOndl.t
 In the capture of Trinidad Luna who was arrested Sunday morning while in the act of passing counter felt money at the Bee Hive bar and cafe the police think they have a clue to a gang of counterfeiters who arc believed to be operating across the border. From the conflicting stories told by the man subsequent to his arrest. City Marshal James East is inclined to believe that Luna is fence for a counterfeiting gang with a plant in some one of the many little Mexican towns near the bor der. Mir. East has a suspicion that the man may be working from the Salazar saloon in Agua Prieta.
 When arrested Luna had two coun. terfeit dollars in his possession. Mir. East has wired George W. Hazen of the government secret service depart ment at Los Angeles and the prison CT is being held until a reply is forth coming directing what should be done with him.
