THE ALEuTs OF ALASKA.
Occupy Island Peninsula and Live
the Primitive Life


The word "Aleut' in the Eskimo
language means aother utes," or peo-
pie, and such they are. for their APP
pearance and modes of life differ to
such an extent as TO warrant their be-
ing called other people.
There were two found among them
whose birthplace was believed to be
K amehatka, in Asia. and it is almost
certain that these people came from
Northern Asia. Their appearance is
more of the Monaghan. and in artistic
work they have much the slime skill
and craftsmanship as the japanese.
The Aleut is superior to the native
race He is cleaner of habit than the
Eskimo and more willing to work.
The tribes ancient dwellings, now
long grown over with grass. represent
ing The age of stone implements. when
excavated were found to be large,
roony houses made of sod, built above
the ground, and usually of more than
one room. Whalebone was often used
for parts of the framework. The Gem
etery of the community was not in
common burial ground, but in a room
of the house especially constructed for
that purpose. The corpses We're buried
in a sitting posture.
Certain caves were used also as a
place to bury the dead, but owing to
the occurrence OF skulls with fractures
in them it is presumably the warriors
who died away from home who We're
so buried A few had the distinction
of being stuffed with moss and made
into mummies and placed in caves.
These customs have long since chang
ed, owing to the efforts of the Russian
priests: and now few there are that
can offer an explanation for the
strange burial rooms, the cave burials
and the moss stuffed mummies.
The Aleuts occupy the island PENN
sula of Alaska, and number about
LOCO. Three hundred are well cared
for at the seal islands, the balance
have nothing left but fish, few fox
and the basket industry. The time was
when they were, employed TO kill seal:
also their tribe supplied tie men that
manned the sea otter boats and killed
that most valuable of furs.
These furs are practically thing of
the past and the government has pro-
hihited both the whites and the natives
from killing any of them. This is not
adding greatly to their troubles, for
these fur animals of the sea are now
so scarce as to be of little benefit to
the Aleuts any more. The basket in
dustry is now their chief support.
Their baskets though the finest in any
market, bring them less than one
| fourth the retail price. and provisions
sell to them at about three times the
cost.

Best Time to Get Rid of Flies.

A medical journal points out that
| the best way to get rid of flies is by
winter house cleaning. 1t predicts
that in the distant future. when men,
| and especially women, will have be-
come so civilized that they will do
things right and at the proper time,
house cleaning will be done in mid
winter. Then is the time when the
deadly germ is the least active, when
| the dust and dirt are less lively, and
especially is atS the best time to swat
| the fly.
Although this breezy compilation
|neglects to picture the unhappy
householder sitting on the door stoop
smoking his pipe in the midst of a
January blizzard. while within the
madam and the maids are turning
things topsy -turvy and are swatting
the lilies and jumping on the germs
with booth feet, it is fun of common
sense and more than passingly inter
esting. II continues:
During the cold season the fly
hibernates, but as soon as spring
opens he gets busy and proceeds to
obey the preeept Roosevelt so greatly
admires.
Every fly, i. e. ladyHy, killed now
means a million, more or less, fewer
flies next summer. Just now the
disease bearing pests are lying about
in corners. on top of door and Win
dow frames, and in closets. Get busy
now. Go about with dust. pan and
brush and gather them in. The
broom will reach those wintering on
the ceilings. This done thoroughly,
there will be no propagation of the
early spring brood in the house. As
the warm weather opens, the screens
are to be put on early.
The house guarded, means should
be taken to dispose of the outsiders.
Two ways of disposing of the latter
are open-to catch the flies in traps,
and to prevent their breeding by keep
ing stable manure and other rubbish
covered. Incredible numbers of HES
are caught in the wire traps. The
way to get rid of any nuisance is to
give II a money value-and We i'm
port flies from Germany to utilize
them for chicken feed. Why not use
the very abundant home prodnet2
Chickens require animal food to pro-
vide for their own sustenance as well
as their egg product, and flies do very
well.
Let this be understood and let the
housewife comprehend how large a
supply may thus be obtained, and the
fiytrap Will soon be universal part
OF the farm equipment. II is simple
and inexpensive and quite efficient

CASES WILL

ON MONDAY
OF OREGON TANGLE
WILL BE PASSED UP TO THE
SUPREME COURT MONDAY TO
GET THE sNARLS OUT OF 1T.

An agreement was reached yester-
Gay afternoon between attorneys In
the Oregon University case that ar
guments should be presented on its
appeal to the supreme court Monday
afternoon.
July % is the latest date at which
the secretary of state can receive
anything with relation to the case
for the publicity pamphlet, and Au-
gust the latest date at which he
can turn II over TO the state printer,
and with the view Of getting the
measures into the pamphlet should
the decision be against the universi-
ty the court will expedite the case
BY stipulation between the attor-
neys the briefs used in the whole
case will be utilized in the present
appeal. The same evidence, and also
additional evidence taken by Judge
Galloway in Portland, will be used.
The briefs will be supplemented by
oral argument by the lawyers, and
additional cases bearing on the suit
will be cited for the benefit Of the
court.
When the supreme court decided
the case recently against the univer-
sity, II was on the theory that a tax
payer could not bring the injunction
proceedings but that they must be
brought by an officer of the state.
The present case is brought in the
name of District Attorney John II,
McNary, and this contention is now
obviated. The case now goes before
the court on all of its merits, and a
decision on them will do much to
settle procedure and many other
matters with relation to the initia-
tive and referendum laws.
