All, what is life, SO brief at best?
A waking between rest and rest:
An Insects trail along the sand
A gems bright flash upon the hand;
A wave line traced on oceans shore.
Just rippled there, then seen no more:
A breath upon frosted pane,
A moment warmed. then chilled again;
The shadow of cloud that stays
Until obscured by passing haze.
Canst think of aught more brief. more
fleet,
To image forth Times flying feet?
Yet in the shadow, in the breath,
Our love awakes, which knows no death.
And life, which seems SO brief to be,
Is crowned by Immortality!

May Become a Power.

Some of the natives of the ortho-
dox church voted in the last delegate
election. Several hundred did not,
although Mr.. Kelly believes these
will come gradually to understand
their privilege. and he considers it
not impossible that they may be able
to exercise some influence in the
elections of the future. They are at
present, however, wholly separate
from American life by tradition, be-
liefs and sympathy.
Mr.. Kelly went to Alaska one year
after that territory came under civil
government and at the time when
the Treadwell company was prepar-
ing to erect it's first stamps.

Besides this he is violently opposed
to any measure that would give any
credit to Governor Walter E. Clark,
or to the attorney general, George
w. Wickersham. He recommended
that the matter be left in the hands
of Governor Clark for further inves-
tigation and recommendation.
CLARK. in my opinion, is a care
full, capable, brainy, conservative
man-absolutely on the square-and
who has he entire confidence of the
people of Alaska. He recommended
the leasing proposition, but Wicker
sham does not want either Nelson or
Clark to have the credit of settling
the difficulty. That's all there is to
it,

ton Of these lands.
Transportation is the only draw
back with which We are confronted.
But so far as Valdez and other towns
along the coast in that locality are
concerned, We have little to fear from
monopolies, if the government would
open the Boring Lake field. If the
railroad companies sought to wiring
exoribtant charges from us we could
easily load our coal into barges and
convey it down Boring river and to
the different towns by water This
talk of monopoly by the big inter
ests is largely 'bunk'-political thun-

ACCORDING TO AN OLD TREATY
NATIVES MAY VOTE IN ALASKA

Mr.. Kelly went to Alaska in 1885
on the only steamboat then going
north from the Pacific coast. 1t was
steamer Idaho and sailed from Port
land once month. During his stay
in Alaska he has made a deep study
of the natives and has converted the
Thinglet tongue into a written Ian
guage.
He says that the granting of the
franchise to the Russian natives. OF,
rather, to the natives who bow in re-
ligious allegiance to the Greek pope,
was brought about by a clever bit
of diplomacy on the part of the Rus
sian officials who represented their
country in the drawing up of the
treaty with this government.
