DAWSON LETTER
 ALMOST OF AGE

Not satisfied with being distin' guished as getting part of the mail some of the time, and some of the mail part of the time-but not all the mail all the time-Dawson has just captured a new mail laurel. This time it is on an outgoing letter. It was thought Dawson mail which reached the wonderful outside world seldom had troubles there, but some how a Dawson-mailed letter has been travelling more than a decade, and has just reach it's destination, almost old enough to vote. The following tells the story;
 SEATLLE-Twelve years ago Geo. F. Russell proprietor of merchan- disc store at Dawson, Yukon Territory, and for a time coshier for the A. C.. store, mailed letter to MT. Fell, president of the Bank of Holland, The Hague. Sunday the letter, battered and almost undecipherable, was re- turned to it's sender, who is now post master of Seattle.
 The return of the letter, bearing on it's face the stamps placed there by Russell in December, 1900, and the postmarks of Amsterdam, Holland; of the Canadian dead letter office; of an English man-of-war; and of at least ten other stopping places, is pro- nounced unparalleled in postal anals. Since it was mailed no less than four different persons opened it, scribbled their names across the face, and passed it on, after it had reached it's destination at The Hague early in 1901.

Are Wild With
 Spending Says J. J. 1iII

"The whole American public is wild with spending. Public economy is a lost art A bill that carries or re- ouires an appropriation needs little else to commend 1t to any legislative body. All bonds of municipalities are now refunded, instead of being paid when due. The excuse for bond is' sue is always that prosperity ought to bear part of the cost of public im- provements.
 Ut is, perhaps, the meanest form oi stealing ever invented; because it adds to the criminality of breach of trust the baseness of embedding the future resources of our own children, who, since there must come an end of bor- rowing some time, will have these debts to pay"

MAKES NATIVES GO
 TO SUNDAY SCHOOL

The natives of Knik are resenting the manner in which the whites were trying to educate them. There was great deal of friction between the white and the native children over be- ing forced to attend the same Sunday School. The matter was solved by a Mrs. Harrington, who went to the na- tive chief and offered to conduct a Sunday School for the native children alone.
 The idea made a hit with the old chief who issued a proclamation to the effect that all native children at tend the new Sunday School every Sunday Some held back, but the chief armed himself with dog whip and every Sunday morning makes the rounds of the cabins and starts all of the children for the Sunday School, and once inside, the chief stands at the door during services and refuses to allow any one to leave the build ing until the school is dismissed

 Excessive capitalization of trusts and some less spectacular enterprises and the increase of public indebted ness everywhere were given by Mir Hill as the principal abuses of credit at the present time.
