DEATH
 NOT FOUL PLAY

The corners jury which inquired into the possible causes of the death of J. D. Clark have reported that there IS no reason to suppose that Clark met his end through foul play.
 It will be remembered that Clark came to his death a little over a year ago on Wind river, tributary of the East Fork of the Chandlar, and it was generally believed in the Chandlar region that the unfortunate man had been murdered by Indians. So general was this belief that Clark's body was taken to Fairbanks for examination. The doctors who examined the body upon its arrival testified that there was absolutely no evidence to show that Clark had met with a violent end. Clark's remains were identified by the papers found near the place where he met his death.

 There are many difficulties to be overcome before tinal action is taken. Not only must the business end of the matter be considered, but there is also the question of securing q clergyman suitable for the work. It is not an easy matter at any time to get young men to come to Alaska as ministers of the gospel, and the uncertainty regard ing the life of new placer camps makes the difficulty much greater. However, Bishop Rowe, with whom the final decision rests, has the matter under consideration, and before many moons we may have not only a brand new Bethel for the saving of souls, but also haven of rest for the physically i'll.

Albert G. Stamm, editor and sole proprietor of the Yukon Valley News at Tanana, is on his way Outside to purchase various additions to his plant
 When met on the trail between Glib bon and Fairbanks Mir. Stamm pre- scented a unique appearance. He was evidently taking no chances with Alaska's climate, and we commend his methods to the earnest consideration of all old sourdoughs. In one pocket Stamm carried a quart of kerosene; an- other pocket was filled to it's utmost capacity with birch bark carefully cut in strips, while a third pocket con- tained a plentiful supply of matches. Thrown over his good right shoulder was a large axe, at the end of which was bundle containing change of clothing and a copy of the Alaskan Code (which was a parting gift from Editor Henry of the Hot Springs Echo). Altogether Tanana's editor was sight fearful and wonderful to behold. Mush- ing along merrily on snowshoes, he was quite confident of reaching Valdez before the breakup.

IdifaFOd Not Mentioned

Pursuing the practice of keeping the public informed as to the progress ot the United States census, the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor has issued tables of statistics giving the popu, lations of the principal cities of the United States and the relation they bear in point of size to other large cities of the world.
 It appears from the tables that of the ten largest cities of the world the United States possesses no less than three, viz, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. The ten largest cities in order of size are: London, New York Paris, Tokyo, Chicago, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg, Philadelphia and Mos COW.
 The publication also lists all cities containing a population of over 100, 900, but careful scrutiny fails to reveal either Iditarod, Flat or even Dikeman among the list.

ArChdeaCOn Stuck
 Visiting IditarOd

Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, famous throughout the North for the deep in terest he takes in the welfare of the Alaska Indian and for his wide knowl- edge of Alaskan affairs, arrived in lditarod on Monday evening last. He was in the pink of condition, and ex- pressed himself as having had pleas ant and most interesting trip.
 Disdaining to follow civilizations beaten path, and wishing to visit the Indian settlements on the Upper Kus- kokwim, the archdeacon left the Tan ana river at Coschaket and struck across country in the direction of the Kantishna and Lake Minchumina, thence over to the headwaters of the Kuskokwim as far as Nicolai's, and then into the Susitna valley The total time occupied on the journey from Gib- bon was only 22 days.
 Archdeacon Stuck speaks very favor ably of the route traveled by him. The Indian trails, which are centuries old, run through timber for nearly the whole of the distance. There are no high grades to speak of, and the weather was favorable. Of course, it was necessary to camp out, but the archdeacon was accompanied by Walter Harper, young native who has been attending the Nenana-misSiOn school, and that was small matter.
 He describes the country travelled by him as wonderful one for game-the Indians having d plentiful supply of moose, caribou, etc.
 Arthur Wright, the bright native who accompanied Archdeacon Stuck for several years past, is now at a tech nical school in Massachusetts. When he returns.he will be appointed an in- structor amongst the natives.
 Archdeacon Stuck will conduct re- ligious services in Ansley's hall tomor- row at II am. and at 8:30 pm, and all are invited to attend.
 This is the archdeacou's second visit to this city-his first being in August last when he accompanied Bishop Rowe, who was making his annual vis- itation to Alaska.
