The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-14
BY ELLIS G. HoLLUMs

HODAY, December Ia. marks the 94tn
milestone in the life of Alabama as
\ a state.
1t was on December IA. 1919, that the
state was admitted to the union, being
the ninth state to become part of the
original 1s colonies.
The state was discovered in the latter
part of the fifteenth century by Her.
nando DeSoto. The territory at that time
was occupied by several Indian tribes of
the great MuslSohegan stock and were
found by DeSoto to be more intelligent
and to have better mode of life than
any Indians discovered by him previous
to that time.
The first settlement in the state was
made by the Canadian Bienvile, in 1902,
when he founded Fort st. Louis, on the
site where Mobile now stands The city
was founded in Ill and was the capital
of Louisiana for the next 10 years. Fort
Toulouse was established In 1714. The
early settlers had much trouble with the
Indians for a time, as we'll as with the
English traders in the territory.
1t was not until 1895 that the northwest
territory became the property of the
United States. In 1868 France lost her
American possessions. half of them gong

flag. The white star in the center is to
represent the present state capitol. while
the four red stars in the white spaces
represent the former territorial and state
seats of government. The Alabama BIRTH

been favorably received.

WILSON LEADS AS
 WALKING PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, April 21. - The President has joined the long list of walking Presidents" and has adopt ed the. methods pursued by both Pres ident Roosevelt and President Taft in evading the crowds that might beset the pathway of President bent upon a private constitutional,
 One of the White House automo- piles conveys the President, a friend or two, and Mir. Sloan, head of the Secret Service force accredited to the White House, to some point in Rock Creek Park or other secluded parts of the country near the Capital, and then the walking match begins. In long, even strides, and with his cap pulled firmly down on his head, the President lights out" as his friends say. and though other Presidents have left good record behind them, none of them could touch this President in an even race.
 Mir. Wilson walks rapidly, but ut terly without the impetuosity or sud den sprints which characterized the cross country walks of President Roosevelt, and already acknowledges that he prefers the exercise to any other and that it is just the rest he needs from the big duties of his ex- ecutive offices.

DAWSON WANTS TO SEE
 CABINET MINISTERS

Ottawa should understand Yukon. The federal government has so much to do with affairs of this territory that the ministers in Ottawa should make themselves acquainted with this region. With this end in view, the government should have one or more of the cabi' net ministers visit here the coming summer.
 All other parts of the Dominion are visited by some one of the ministers annually. The new Conservative gov. ernment has had no minister come to this territory since the party attained to power in the last Dominion cam. paign. The Liberal government had several of its ministers visit here, and two governor-generals came during that time. The Conservative govern ment has been in the harness long enough to have the routine at head quarters we'll established, and by the middle of this summer should be able to send one of it's members here.
 The cabinet members who have most to do with Yukon affairs are the minister of the interior and the min ister of mines. Possibly one of them can come this summer. The minister of the interior has been i'll, and is not yet rugged. He may visit to recuper- ate. A trip in a quiet way to Yukon will afford him the most novel and profitable outing. Travelling up the Alaska coast and into Dawson and return he would escape the scorching midsummer temperatures of the east ern region, and would here find him self in constant vernal zone. Flow CTS, ceaseless sunshine, the best of water and fresh air. absolute eXemp- ton from storms and violence of any nature afford the ideal conditions for the convalescent.-Dawson News.

One of the strongest boats perhaps that has ever been built in this sec tion is the new boat of the Demmerst Bros, of Shakan, now in for the in- stallation of the big Imperial engine sixty-four feet in length with one and one.half inch planking, with each rib yellow cedar natural crook, over forty cedar knees and an inner skin of one and one.half inch lumber fitted and caulked, she should prove won derfully tight and strong and remain so after years of use. The boat was built by the Demmersts themselves, who have worked continuously this winter on her construction, one entire month being spent in getting out the cedar crooks.-Wrangell Sentinel.

STUCK MAKING PROGRESS
 TOWARD MOUNTAIN TOP

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, April 14. - The expedition led by Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, which started from Fairbanks in an attempt to reach the summit of Mount Mckinley. the high est peak on the American continent, arrived in the Kantishna district safe. ly, according to advices brought here yesterday by Dan Keller, a mining man from Eureka creek.
 A letter to the Rev. c. E. Betticher from the Archdeacon at Glacier, dat ed March 27, says the trip over the trails was much better than had been expected.
 No more news of the expedition is expected until the return of winter.

GOVERNMENT SHOULD
 CARE FOR NATIVES

It will be well for the Yukon coun- cil to keep the Yukon natives in mind. Although Indians are a federal charge, the Yukon Territory is home of many redskins and the people here have to look largely to the welfare of the na- tives in more respects than one.
 Education, health and feeding and clothing are the chief problems touch ing natives. It is becoming quite gen. eraIy recognized that what the ma tive needs in education is something on practical rather than ethical lines. Training in farming, raising herds and | general utility conduce most to the prosperity of the average native The over-educated Indian with white mans taste and an Indians circum. scribed sphere is spectacle of misery. he Indians trained in industries which lift the whole tribe on horizontal plane are the happiest, healthiset and most generally prosperous.
 A white man with some such farms as are already established in Yukon and the Indian tribes under his direc. ton could handle the bands there to their great profit. With a river teem- ing with salmon the natives could be taught how to fish scientifically how to salt and otherwise cure fish on mod ern lines; how to grow and preserve and work up produce into food.stuffs.
 In respect to health, the natives of today who come in contact with whites fall victims of tuberculosis. With no ideas of ventilation and sanitation, the ignorant sons of the forest shut them selves up. live amidst dirty surround. ings, and die of insdiuous white mems diseases. The campaign started in Alaska to combat all diseases among natives and to get the Indians on res ervations and to have them instructed in farming, fishing and raising of rein deer is on the right line. Yukon can do the same.
 If it is not a territorial duty, the Yukon council can urge the matter on the federal government, and get re- suits. In the matter of meat supply alone, the natives, if they have rein deer herds. will be wonderfully bene- fited A Peel river native says that the entire tribe there this winter has killed only twenty to thirty caribou and about the same number of moose. This is practically all these poor peo. pie have had on which to live aside from birds and rabbits, and the hun gry and largely useless dogs eat a great share of the game killed Star. vation faces some of the tribes.
 If the council has no funds for the natives it will render a service by call ing the attention of the Dominion au. thorities in a resolution. Every dollar Ottawa spends in Yukon, whether for white or red. is a benefit to the coun- try.-Dawson News.

 WELL FOR DREDGING

From reliable sources it is ascer. tained that the mining engineer who exported dredger ground on Kenai river for the so-called German syndi. cate reports that it yields 35 cents per yard.
