HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN
(Skagway Alaskan)

In referring in our columns the other day to the jealous and patriotic members of the recently organized Democratic club at Hanes, our space and time were so him ited we had to postpone the relation of an amusing incident that took place in Juneau not long ago, and in which one of the Democratic club" members above men toned was the central figure.
 Since the rumor reached the North of the intended change in the personnel of the United States marshal's office for the First district of Alaska this gentleman has had the United States marshalship bee buzzlng in his lid" and has been energetically so- hciting the Endorsement by prominent Alas kan Democrats of an application which 1t IS his intention to put in when the new Unit ed States marshal IS appointed,
 He was in Juneau, and being an old time acquaintance of Judge R. W. Jennings of the district court of the First district of Alaska, broached the matter of his applica ton and asked the judge to attach his sigma ture to the document
 Judge Jennings-Of course you are a Democrat, or you wouldn't be making the application?
 Aspirant-Democrat We'll, l should say yes! My father was a Democrat of the old Jeffersonian school who never refused a drink of whisky nor scratched Demo- cratic ticket, and I have followed closely in his footsteps ever since I was old enough to vote.
 Judge Jennngs-You are resident of Hanes, believe?
 Aspirant- you're shouting judge And Pm proud of it. We can rustic up more good Democrats in that little old burg than can be found in any town in Alaska, of its size
 Judge Jennings-Did you, at the election of a delegate to congress in August, 1912, vote for the Democratic nomnee? Of course, this is a superhuous question, but upon its answer will depend in great meas ure my action in regard to the indorsement you ask for.
 Asprant- if I didn't know you so we'll, and you weren't such an old friend l would take your last question as an in suit. You can bet your boots I voted for you at that election
 Judge Jennings-I am glad to know this for there has been a question raised as to the legality of the vote in Haines. (The judge paused while he slowly sorted over a package of documents which he had taken from pigeonhole in his desk Having se- cured the one he sought, he turned to the

Mushers arriving at Whltehorse from Chisana bring word of the death recently of a man named Jensen on the Mccarthy trail The news was given out in Chisana shortly before their departure by man who had just reached the camp from the head of White river. It appears that Jensen and his partner were on their way to the dig gings and had gone into camp when they saw some wild sheep on the mountanside, not a great distance away. Jensen told his partner that he would take his gun and go over and see whether or not he could get one of them. That was the last ever seen of him alive. After waiting long while for Jensen's return, his companion felt sure that something serious had happened, and set out to make search. He followed Jen- sens footsteps in the snow until he came to a place where they had been obliterated by recent snowslide He crossed over the side, which had not been a very large one, with the hope that Jensen might have passed the place before the slide took place, but he was doomed to disappointment, for the snow on the far side revealed no indication of his presence The next day he made a sys- tematic search of the slide, and finally un- covered the body of Jensen.

Following the ruling of the Washington officials to the effect that the United States treasury would not be responsible for the expenses incurred by Alaska in the enforce ment of the laws as passed by the Alaska legislature, District Attorney Rustgard of Juneau took the matter up with Delegate James Wickersham, who differed with the opinion handed down by the comptroller of the currency The delegates reply to the inquiry was as follows: T think he (the comptroller has given an opinion which is altogether too narrow There is no ques- tion but that he Is right under the old the ory in respect to practically all the terri tories of the United States except Alaska, and the courts may finally hold that he is right in respect to that. However, l think this decision altogether too limited and not applicable to the legal status created in Alaska by our peculiar organic act. x l have no doubt that the courts will give a far broader application touching Alaska than the comptroller has given. * I think the courts will eventually put more of the burden of the government in Alaska upon congress and less of it upon the terri ,ory-as the organic act now stands"

Dr. and Mrs Boindixen, aged 40 and 76 years respectively, left Fairbanks January D. bound for the Arctic slope, and expected to go to the Colville river, where a rich placer strike is said to have been made
 The couple were married at Cinema couple of months ago, and had resided in Fair banks since that time. While on their way to the koyukuk they stopped at Tanana for a few days and according to a wire re- ceived in Fairbanks January 2l by the fed eral officials the husband has acted in such a manner as to be placed under suspicion by the residents, who fear that he is taking his 76-year old bride into the remote parts with a view to squanderlng what little money she has. As the husband has been attempting to raff1e the quilts made by his wife, 1t is possible that the Tanana au- thorities will hold the man on a charge of violating the lottery laws, unless he aban- dons the idea of taking the woman to the far northern country. The wire received from Panama was addressed to District At torney Crossley, and was as follows: M. E. Boindixen here, accompanied by aged lady.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of a neglected

There is nothing so destructive to

If not remedied causes the hair roots

take on that life, luster and ~luxuriance
which is so beautiful. It will become
