ALASKAN INDIANS AND CITIZENSHIP.

THE ultimate destiny of the Indians of Alaska is full American
 citizenship with rights and manifold duties including
 the right to participate in all the affairs of gov ernment This prize should be held by the white race for the Indians of the North to adjust themselves to changing conditions in this Territory All assistance should rendered the Indians in the work that they undertaken in their organization the Alaska Native Broth ehood the purpose which better to qualify the members o their race for citizenship when the time shall arrive to besow It upon them.
 However no real Indians should that the franchise granted them until they ready to use 1t m tegenty need for this respect all the greater because of the unsettled conditions The status of our govern ment is in process evolution The duties of citizenship AL aka for the years will require educated intelligence Of high order leading toward the future commonwealth should be marked by those who have had experience sego ernment and eresant The work that lies before us not that which should performed by that is just emerging from conditions of barbarian.
 The welfare of both the white and the Indians Alas ka demands that we should profit by the bitter experience of the South from the premature enfranchsement of unaccu toned to Segovenment The situation demands more o ct zens than the Indians qualified to render It would be injustice them place burdens upon them that they are not prepared for.

HOW FAIRBANKS
 RECEIVED GOOD NEWS

This is the Fairbanks News descrip- ton of the receipt of the news of the passage of the Alaska rail road bill by the people of the Panama metropolis:
 Everybody is happy. The Alaska railroad bill passed the Senate this afternoon and all Fairbanks is cele- brating. the whistles of the city hay ing announced the glad tidings short ly ofter two o'clock this afternoon.
 simultaneously with the blowing of the N. c. whistle, fire alarm was turned in at the city hall and the boys of the fire department therefore had a run in celebration of the big event. However, the alarm proved to be a false one, as. when both rigs of the department reached the N. c. wood ward. where the fire was supposed to be, all they found was a laborer pill ing wood and not dreaming of fires,
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-02-17
railroads or anything else.


 "The origin of the first alarm seems to be a mystery, 1t being the opinion of some that a practical joker was back of the entire proceeding. The boys of the fire department say that it makes no difference to them as long as they made the run as cele- bration, although they are of the opin- ion that the joker, whoever he was could have given them a much shorter run had he wished.
 Shortly after the news from Wash ington was received at the News-Miner office and telephoned over town, the flags began to come to the fore. The flag over the American Bank of Alas ka was the first to come to light, the banner at the First National Bank be- ing a close second. Other prepara- tions for a celebration are still being made, and the city will therefore be in gala attire all day tomorrow.
 'Excitement is at its height all over | the city. On all corners people are

to be seen talking over the passage of the bill and many are the congratu- lations and handshakes which are be- ing passed among the business men and the citizens in general. Pros perity for Fairbanks.' seemed to be the general slogan.
 Among those who are out with ap- propriate decorations is the Sourdough Express. One side of their light rig is covered by a painting representing the new Alaska railroad coming into the Fairbanks terminal station.

Two Woman Legislators

Arizona now has two women leg islators, one in the house and one in the senate. This is the first time that the people of Arizona have given the mothers of the race chance to sit in the legislative bodies which make the laws for the sons and daughters of the race
 These two women were not elect ed by their fellow women alone, but received strong vote from the men in their counties, this proving the confidence the men in those districts have in the ability of these women to represent the people.
 The News does not doubt that these women will make as good a rs cord in the legislature as will the men, In fact we believe that our laws would be better for the pres- ence ofa number of women in the legislature.

First Snow of the Season

Williams enjoyed the first snow of the season last Tuesday night.
 It did not amount to much, bare ly covered the ground and was gone two hours after sunrise, but it has the distinction of holding first place.
 It came on the night of the first day of the calendar winter. What significance it may have as pre- diction of the winter to follow we will leave for the old settlers to say.
 For ourselves, the sunshine that followed is grander than all the snows of the northland. What a joy it is, when reading of the sol diers freezing in the trenches in Europe, and of the blizzards in the central states, just to lay down the paper and 10 get out and bask in our warm sunshine.

 The women, besides distributing he book among the members ot the club for their use, are sending copies of it to friends in many other towns.
 All of the work of publishing this book was done inside the News office and the women declare them elves. more than satisfied. They insist that it makes a good adver- tisement for the town. The News did its best work on the book and is pleased to have the women so well satisfied
 Sample copies of the book have been retained dt lllc ClllCc anu II will be pleasure to show them to my interested persons.
 The book contains twenty-foul pages inside the cover, and measures five by eight inch,s The body oi the book is printed on india tint glazed book paper, and the back is I light weight tan cover B,ard.
 The symbol of the club, pine bur with twig, printed in brown ink makes a very attractive cover de ign. Tt.e composition and ar rangement of the contents of tht book are excellent. The women have succeeded in putting the in formation which they desire to con vey by the booklet in an attractive and systematic way. Withal il may be modestly said to excel any work of the nature hitherto at tempted in Williams.
