The Sitka Thlinget devOteS a large part of it's rather limited space this month to the question, Should Indians Vote?" Editor George Beck says that There is no longer any reason why they should be denied the right to take their place with the people of the earth.
 We can hardly understand how the right of suffrage may be extended to the natives of Alaska without the. added re- responsibilities that usually accom- pany it.

 Dear Sir:


 An article inserted in the Thlinget entitled "As an Alas kan Sees It." by P.

 There was never gathered together in Fairbanks liner looking or more earnest body of men and women than gathered in the city hall last night to start the night school bail rolling. They knew what they were there for. and all were in earnest. They desired more knowledge upon all subjects from reading and writing to bookkeep- ing and higher mathematics. and they took advantage of the first opportunity to obtain the knowledge they seek.

 Ferdinand de Lesseps organized a company with the consent of the khedive of Egypt and the Turkish gov- ernment in 1856 many yearI after Napoleon had abandoned the scheme because of a mistake made by h's .n- gineers. Half the capital was raised in Europe. mostly in Fran; ;e. and he other half by the khedive. The anal cost s1OO,OOO.O00 and was completed in 1869. IL is 100 miles long and 2s feet in depth. In width il was first l5O to 300 feet wide at the water surface and 72 feet at the bottom but it has since been made wider. The British government purchased the khedive's shares in 1875. In 1870 the receipts were just about one million dollars and in 1899 they were more than eighteen millions. The tonnage for the latter year was l3.8l5.s92 so that each ton evidently cost more than one dollar in tolls.
