 "I found the reason for that is their wonderful faith in the ability of white man to perform mir acles. They think white man can do anything, and they never question what he does.
 "These natives suffer great in justice by their dealings with a commercial company for the sale of their furs. The result of last years hunting, which produced 210 fox skins of various sorts, di- vided among the population, gave each but an average of SIS for his work.
 For instance, the natives get about S25 for a silver gray fox skin. On the market here they fetch from $50 to $500 each. A black fox is worth $40 to the na- tive, and brings from S250 to $500 on the market here. Black fox pelts in prime condition have brought as much as S2,O0O. White Fox brings the native Si.50, and is worth S9 outside. Red and crossed skins are worth S3 on the Atka island and from SIP 10 S2O outside.
 "Last winter we divided the hunting forces. Half of the men I sent to Kanaga and Tanaga and Adak islands, under Chief Surgues Collie. They were to have been gone a month or little while more. and promised to be back by Christmas. Christmas passed without them, then Russian Christmas, then New Years. Jan uary went hy and vowed would take the other half of the tribe to go io find thcm if they were not back by the 18th of Febru- ary. On February 18th Chief Collie reported back 10 mo.
 "The man had lain for two weeks without any food but sea gulls, on a nearby island, unable to cross the straits because of storms. The last few days their powder gave out and they chewed the lining of their bidarkas and made tea of grass.
 For that labor they get a few miserable dollars and gave in ex- change skins that are worth many hundreds"
 Atka island is about 30 miles long and five miles wide. There is an active volcano upon it and learthQuakcs are frequent. The weather consists of perpetual rain and snow, principally rain, with high wind storms. Not even drift wood comes to it's beaches and the natives live in sod houses. When their first child was born 10 MT. and Mrs. Sellers there was a terrific storm raging and no woman to attend the mother. For nine months last year they were obliged to keep an Alcut boy, who had committed murder, a prisoner at their house until the revenue cutter could come for him. |

Tn UphoIding the Validity of the Parks and Smith
 Bills
IS MUCH CERTIFIED
 OVER COURTS RULING
No Case Before the Court in Years Has Arounsed so Much Interest. Record Examined and De-
 cision Made in Two Days

Montgomery May 1o.-(special.)-I am not surprised at the action of the supreme court in upholding the validity of the Parks and Smith bills"
 These are the words of Gov. Emmet O'Neal, who had been anticipating with keen interest the supreme courts de- cision on the liquor question. The gover- nor expressed much qualification over the courts ruling and expressed the hope that it would put at rest, for some time, at least. all agitation with reference to the subject
 The decision was written by Judge Thomas c. Mcclellan within two days after it had been passed upon by the court in consultation. The record was taken up by the court on last Tuesday for the first time, considered in all of it's va rious phases, and the courts decision was announced two days later.
 Case of Unusual Interest
 No case has been before the supreme court in a number of years that aroused so much interest, probably, as the question as to whether or not the local option laws of the state were valid. During the past few weeks conflict ing rumors have circulated through the state, many to the effect that the court had reversed the bill and that an extra session of the legislature would be immediately called. Some of these ru mors were of such a character as 10 cause many to think that the supreme court would take cognizance of the re- ports by some official action.
 The case was submitted to the court the latter part of 1911, but owing to press of business the higher tribunal 'did not take up the record until last Tuesday, May T. At this conference all the judges of the court concurred in the validity of the two bills and two days later the 19-page decision was prepared by Judge Thomas c. McClel- Ian, to whom the case had been re- ferred.
 Mcclellan Wrote State Wide Decision
 In this connection 1t is regarded of inter- est to recall that Judge Mcclellan wrote the decision of the supreme court uphold ing statewide prohibition. This decision was announced shortly after the state- wide laws went into effect, having been enacted by the legislature of 1907.
 At that time an effort was made on the part of the liquor interest to overthrow the prohibition laws, one of the grounds being that the laws were unconstitutional. The case was heard in lower court, and was finally taken to the highest tri- buanl in the state, with the result that that court sustained the validity of the prohibition laws. and set at rest all agi- ation of the subject until the assembling of the legislature of 1911. when the local option laws were enacted
 Interest in the decision of the supreme court on the prohibition laws was nearly as acute as that manifested in the courts action in regard to the Parks and Smith bills. In both cases the state laws were ta 1,o ,a1f he Irf of Alabama affirming the action of the leg islature, even though the legislative en- actments in each instance were along en- tirely different lines
