of Africa. has created some stir here by
writing to the government officials at
washington and accusing white citizen,
e. L. Smith, OF leading a mob which as
saulted the prince last April during the
term of the circuit court for this county.
More than two years ago this negro
came here and began to work as mis-
sonary among the local negro element
and soon was married to a mulatto with
whom he still lives.
1t is said that e. l. Smith, in going to
the court room while court was in SEES
sion, passed near where the wife of the
prince was standing, and asked her
where the negro was. She pointed to the
prince, saying there he is." Smith said,
looking at the prince, as that negro a
prince?" whereupon the negro resented
the remark as an insult by saying to
Smith, TT Is none of your business
whether / am a prince or not" Mr..
Smith resented this by shaping the face
Of the negro. The prince ran to the
sheriff's office and Smith followed him.
together with number of other Gu
rious by-standers, and the prince thought
or appears. to have tho1ght, mob was
pursuing HIM. and asked protection Of
the sheriff who closed the incident by
commanding Smith to stop.
1t seems now that the prince wrote to
Washington making complaint against
e. l. Smith and Secretary Knox in1ned-
lately called upon Governor Conner for
an explanation of the AFFAIR, and IT IL

British government at washington came

Finding the People

Especial pains were taken to find every
resident, and we are told that each CABIN
was visited unless to reach 1t would cost
more than two days of time. In such ex-
ceptional instances the facts were record
ed from reports. Trails were unbroken
throughout the vast territory covered,
and the enumerator or his companion
found 1t necessary constantly to Walk
ahead of the team on snowshoes,
Summing up his report Mr.. Mckenzie
says:
This constitutes a resume of the work
performed during the period from Au.
gust IL, in which crossed the unitec
States and went up into the interior Of
Alaska, experienced weather conditions
the extreme of which was u degrees be-
low zero and during which time In the
course of the work 1t was necessary
several times to camp in the open where
the couch consisted of the snow and a
few spruce boughs and the roof a tent

cember and January the sun shone from
one to two hours per day.

Few Churches Seen

Churches and school houses in the IN
terror of Alaska are few and far between.
Necessarily they are confined TO the
towns and Indian schools as well as the
church services. are conducted by the
missionaries.
The white people do not attend either
the Indian schools or the Inoian
churches. SO that those of the outlying
districts got their religion and their edu-
cation at home. In the matter OF edu-
cation Mr.. Mckenzie reports that the
home system works very well. the long
nights Of the winter causing an enforced
confinement of children that is conducive
to study, He says that many of them DO
even better than students In the schools
Mr.. Mckenzie also reports that there
ia very little sickness among the white
INHABITANTS of Alaska, and he says that
few of those who are sick will acknowl-
edge the fact There Is no fever. but some
pneumonia Most of the Indians are az
fl,cted with tuberculosis and other dis
cases of civilization are prevalent.
