STUBS DAWSON QUERY
why Doesn't Governor Permit County

ordering him to order the county at

Is 1t because the governor mas no
confidence in the county attorneys or
these counties that he wants the at

these inquisitions?

physicians, were today made defend
ants in a suit for $1O,225 damages
filed by w. n. Bowman. The plain

"BACK TO THE LAND"

The cry of the past year has been
Back to the land" The advocates
of that slogan have little cause for
rejoicing, for as far as the census fig

indicate that the chief trend of the
population is still towards the cities,
rather than towards the country. 1t
has been hoped by economists that
the census returns for 1910 would
show the reverse, but it is an I'M
disputed fact that the cities are grow

is still to seek employment and oc

NATIVE COPPER.

The first known report of native
copper existing in Alaska was made
by Steller, the naturalist, who accom-
panied Boring on his voyage of dis
covery in 1871. He noted that the
natives of Kayk Island were using
knives of native copper that un-
doubtedly came from the Chitina-
Kotsina copper belt. The use of ma
tive copper was widespread among
the Alaskan natives, in fact, it was
the only metal used.
For about century the Russians
occupied the country, but they APP
parently did not make any effort to
discover the copper belt. They made
only one attempt to explore the Cop
per river. The expedition was head
ed by Serebranikof in 1S47, and the
whole party was massacred by the In
dams of the Copper river.

century. Inc phenomenal prosperity
enjoyed by the farmers during the
last decade was hoped to have acted
as check. But the steady growth
of the Industrial population goes on
at the expense of the agricultural
population and is clearly indicated
by the following figures:
In 1896 the suburban population to
tailed "a per cent of the national
census. In 1910 it had increased to
SIS per cent. In 1890 it had "a
banded to 29.2 per cent and in 1900
to 1871 per cent, and the 1910 enum-
Grafton is expected to show a larger
percentage of the population massed
in cities.
From incomplete figures the New
York Sun estimates that in the last
ten years the population of the Unit
ed States as a whole has increased
about 81 per cent, while that of the
cities has increased about 81. per
cent. Now the great tendency among
the native Americans and immigrants
is to crowd to the cities. This move
ment is one of the leading causes of
the growing cost of all agricultural
products, which are the necessaries of
life.
One leading Southern paper
thinks the present movement city
ward will cause the formation of
large agricultural trusts that will cul-
tivate vast tracts of land, employ
ing millions of workers, probably
Chinese. Land cultivated in this
way, the owners could take advan-
tage of every economy and secure the
best results possible at very low
cost of production.
Now, the Wall Street Journal, al
though admitting the fact that the
cities are growing at faster rate than
the rural communities, thinks that
the disparity in the rate of growth
is diminishing, rather than increas-
of cities in other states, Texas has
upheld the motto, back to the land"
and it is estimated that the rural
growth of the Lone Star state has
been doubled that of the suburban
during the past decade.
The great growth of the cities has
been principally in the South, with,
of course, the exception of Seattle and
Los Angeles on the Pacific coast. 1t
has been pointed out again and again
that the North has too many large
cities and the South not enough.
Now, cities, with all their faults,
all their poverty. all their riches, are
the centers of thought and energy
and always will be so, and the larg-
er the cities the greater the impetus
they give to a country.
The old-time centers of the world
like Babylon, Rome, Athens and 9TH
er places are mere incidents in the
history of great populations, when
they are compared to London and
New York.

NO COLOGNE AT POTLATCH.

The city of Cologne, although the
home of some of the finest perfumes
made in the world, had the reputa.
ton of being one of the most evil
smelling cities in the world. We be
lieve it was the late G. A. Salla who
called it the "City of thousand
stinks."
Also the story of the school teach
er, she had a class that came from
the poorer quarter of the city and
one boy who answered to the name
of Willie, used to smell so badly ii
at last got the better of his teacher,
and she sent him home with a note
requesting that his ma should wash
him
Willie's ma became rather indig-
nant and sent back note saying
she knew that her willie amt no
violet, but she sent him to be school
to be taught and not smelled."
Well, an Indian camp about two
miles above the town; of Chitina on
the Copper river was rival to both
Cologne. and Willie in the way of
smells.
For our Siwash brothers, Tony
!. and Mckinley John, did, during the
past week. spotlatch a goodly number
of their worldly goods. The camp
is known as Camp Comfort and is
the home of Little Joe (not of East
Lynne fame) and his aged father.
For days the Siwashes had foregath-
cred at this camp to partaKe of dried
salmon and other Indian dishes.
Now, according to the Indians, it
was curiosity that killed the yellow
snake, and curiosity got the better
of a number of residents of Chitina
So one fine day when the potlatch
was in full sway, they hied them
selves out to Camp Comfort and at
ter their visit the city of Cologne or
Willie will hold no terrors for them
They were welcomed by the leading
Siwash citizen, including Chief Good
la-taw and DR.. Billum ct al, and were
ushered in the residence there, to
view the festive board, and see the
many Indian vaudeville turns Zone
was put on for their special benefit) !.
But let US return to the smells. The
principal product of the Copper river
is salmon, which the Indians catch
and udry, incidentally drying the
smell with the fish. Now when these
], salmon are cooked the smell escapes,
. and as the salmon affords one of the
principal food stuffs at a potlatch,
the potlatch is better smelled than
seen. In fact one lady slnelled it
so well she had to be carried out
The Indians, noticing that the lady
WIS overcome by the same complaint
]. as Willie's teacher, kindly consented
to give their star turn in the open.
The party returned safely to town
In deep sympathy with Willie's teach
or, and all agreed that the city Of

one potlatch on the Copper River.
