other Indians of the United States. Another law passed in 1887 extended to all Indians in the United States the privileges of citizenship, provided they had separated themselves from their tribes and had adopted the habits of life of civilized citizen.
 The defendant in the case, being un- able to furnish bond while the appeal was pending, has served out the greater part of his sentence.
 Arctander filed a brief in the appeal at his own expense, another brief being filed by United States Attorney John Rustgard. Arctander filed a brief in reply, and then Attorney General George W. Wickersham applied for and was granted permission to file supplemental brief on behalf of the United States, and the case was fought right down the line until the decision was handed down in Arctander's favor The government authorities still have the right of an appeal to the supreme court of the United States.
 Arctander, who is author of a number of Alaskan books, including The Apos- tie of Alas1lai and The Lady in BIue," is practcing law in this city, with offices in the Lyon building

Stiffness of the Report.

The remarkable thing in connection with the above story is that it should, first, be sent out by an accredited news agency, and, second, that it could find it's way into the columns of credtable newspapers without being 'killed" by some of the intelligent personages pop uIarly supposed to be attached to such institutions. Inste cad of the kobuk be- ing "hitherto believed to be small Arctic stream" the principal facts about it have long been well known and easily accessible. On July s, 1881, Lieut.. John C. Cantwell of the revenue service was detached from the cutter Corwin to explore the Kobuk, and by August 30 he had ascended the river lS5 miles, returned and explored Sela- wik lake and vicinity. Again in 1885, between July and August 2, Can't well explored the Kobuk practically to is source. Reports of these explora- tons are contained in Report of the Cruise of the Revenue Marine Steamer Corwin in the Arctic Ocean in 1881, pp. 47-l28; and in d similar report for 1885, pp. 2l-102. Besides this authori- tative knowledge, prospectors, trapperS and traders have so long been familiar with the Kobuk that it cannot properly be designated little-kDown stream

PLEA FOR ABSORPTION
OF EXPRESS COMPANIES
Representative Lewis Heard
on Bill for Addition to
Postal Service.

The bill introduced by Representative
David j. Lewis Of the sixth Maryland
district. which proposes the condemna-
ton and purchase by the government OF
all the express companies and their ad-
dition to the postal service. was taken
up for consideration today by SUBJ
committee Of the House committee on
post Offices and post roads. At their last
conference in Washington the representa-
tives of the business men of the coun-
try and of the farmers oranges asked
Congress to establish such a system and
representatives of these interests were
present at the hearing before the COM
mittee today
Argues for Enactment.
There are two main reasons why the
express companies must be added to the
postal system said Mr.. Lewis. in his ar
gument First, the express company serv
ice does not reach beyond the railways to
the country or the farmers. which the
post office does, through the rural free de-
livery, which is waiting with empty wag-
ons to receive the express packages and
take them to the country stores and the
farmers. and carry back to the towns and
the cities the produce OF the farms and
truck gardens for the people to eat at
living prices. Second, the contracts Of
the express companies with the railways
give them an average transportation rate
or three-quarters of cent a pound, and
with this rate the express charges by
post would be reduced from two-thirds
TO one-half on parcels ranging from five
pounds to fifty pounds, and about IS per
cent on heavier weights, as consequence
of the coordination Of the express COM
pany plants with the post office and rural
delivery, and the elimination of the ex-
press company profits, which are averag-
ing over 30 per cent on the investment.
Classed as Obstacles.
1.-The express companies are positive
hindrances and obstacles to the business
of the country. The average charge for
carrying ton Of express in Argentina
is 1851, and for the countries of Eu-
rope, S4.l2. while the average express
company charge in the United States is
$3.50 They charge five times as much
to carry ton of express as a ton Of
freight in other countries. Here the
express companies charge sixteen times
as much
The food problem. the high cost of
living" according to Mr.. Lewis figures,
is largely the result Of the want Of a
proper articulation Of our transporta-
ton with the rural sources of supply.
While prices are often prohibitive to the
consumer, crops may be rotting at the
place of production for want of real
express service.
