Some Facts

The current fssue of the semi monthly magazine, Railway and Marine News has an interesting startling article regarding Alaska shipping. Some of the interesting facts gleaued from the article gre as follows:
 1 U. s. vessels engaged in Alaskan trade, 1o8. Vessels totally lost since 1878, @. Amount paid in total losses, SC, 7Io, ooo. Alaska coast line served ty L; $. vessels, !, 500 miles, Number of lights in 4, 500 miles, 47, British Columbia waters served by U. 5, vessels, 6Io miles. Number of lights in | 6Ioniles, 1o5.
 When these facts concerning the shipping conditions of Alaska and British Columbia waters are held in a comparative light, it is easy to see the incentive for the state ment in the aforementioned arti- cle that Alaska shipping needs immediate protectian from the U. 5. government.

INDIANS FIGURInG ON
VOTING STRENGTH

Washington. Dec. 4.-Considerable
interest is taken here in the proposed
gathering of representatives OF North
American Indians during the present
month in this city.
Educated Indians Of the con-
have come to the conclusion that they
can best further their rights and Sc
cure the privileges which they believe
are due them by political organiza'
ton and united action, The realiza-
| ton has come to the Indians that
| their votes, If used in body can bring
about big results, and that they can
demand of the several political parties
more consideration for the future than
they have received in the past. The
following figures as to the Indian vote
will explain the strength they will
have in various states with effective
organization:
In the new state OF Arizona the In
dlan vote Is oVOO.
In Colorado the Indian vote is 600.
In Idaho where there is small Re-
publican majority, the Indian vote is
1850.
In Minnesota the Indian vote is 9165,
In Montana, where there is a Repub
lican majority of but 44O0, the Indian
vote is 6000
In Nebraska, where there is a close
vote between Democrats and Repub
licans, the Indian vote is 1000.
In Nevada, where there is small
Republican majority, the Indian vote
is over 1000.
In North Dakota, the Indian vote is
5000.
In Oklahoma. where the last Demo.
cratic majority was about $4,000, the
Indian vote is about $4,000.
In oregon the Indian vote is 100.
In South Dakota the Indian vote is
1900.
In Utah the Indian vote is 625.
In the state of Washington the In.
dian vote is 4122.
In Wisconsin the Indian vote is 1900.
In Wyoming the red men have 412
votes and in California the Indians
have over $500 votes.
The total electoral vote of the above
states is 104.
In many of the states the balance
of power is so close between the Dem
ocrats and Republicans that a solid
Indian vote for either party would be
Important. In the same way this sol.
i'd Indian vote in a number of states,
would control the state and a number
of congressman.

The house is a two-story structure.

 The children's ages were years, 5 years and months respectively.
