A New Departure

One of the most radical steps in the handling of the native problem in Alaska has just been taken by The bu raau of education. This new idea promises Co equal tbe establishment of tho reindeer industry in importance to the future of Che natives.
 Tho fact that the Eskimo lives on the beach where he is dependent upon a scauiy supply of driftwood for build- ing material and fuel has made his im- provement along certain lines very difficult. Part of this problem will be solved at places by the development of the local coal supply, as on the coast between Point Hope and Barrow. To meet this situation in the Kolzebue Sound country, as well as to establish a large industrial center, the bureau of education has taken steps for the set. ting aside by executive order tract about fifteen miles square on the lower Kobuk. This matter was attended to by Walter Shields on his last trip.
 For years it has been the plan of the bureau of education to establish a school on the lower Kobuk Co reach approximately seventy native children who have had no school facilities. Lack of funds has prevented this work. It has heeu decided to abandon the school at Deeriug and to transfer all the Deering natives to the new site on the lower Kobuk. In that way a coast vil- lags will be moved inland where the timber is abundant and at the same time the bureau will be able to offer school faciHtieo to tho natives now on the lower Kobuk who will settle at the new village. 1t is The plan Co make this new village a large industrial center for the Eskimos such as Metlakahtla and Hydaburg are for the Indians in Southeastern Alaska. The natives at Deerinq, under the able leadership of Mir. Chas. Replogle, the government teacher at that place, have entered into the move with much enthusiasm aud are getting ready to leave their old home some time the coming spring They have raised a fund for the estab- lishmeut of a co operative store of their own and are looking forward Go a sawmill and other permanent indus. tries.
 The tract chosen is below the native village of Aksik and the entire tract is we'll tim bered. The village site is on a high bank aud within year should be Jy fartho most attractive Eskimo vii lage in Alaska. It is not the intention Co couGue the Eskimos to reservations such as is done in the States This reserve is simply to be place that is strictly an Eskimo village where no white man can settle except under permit from the department of the in teiior. The effect of this move the future of the Eskimos of this part of Alaska will be more far reaching than will be appae ent at first gIauce.-Nome Nugget.

Alaska's contribution to Uncle Sam's money chests through the operation of the internal revenue laws for the fiscal year which terminated June 30th last was s3l,55l. Most of these collections were on liquors and tobaccos. The new forms of direct taxes, however, also furnished a considerable part of the whole.

Natural dyes, made mostly from veg
etables, plants and wood, were prac-
tically the only dyes known for cen
turtles. Their gradual disuse in the
last hundred years has been due to
tn discovery that dyes could be made
from coal tar. Largely through the
experiments of European chemists,
coal tar dyes were made SO satisfac-
tory q substitute for the natural dyes
that the business in artificial article
soon took on enormous proportions.
Little attempt was made in America
to manufacture coal tar dyes because
the Europeans possessed patents
which practically gave them control
of the trade. Germany has long con-

GREAT FISHING AND HUNTING
Doctor Ella Brings Home Stories 81
Wonderful Sport In interior
Of Alaska.

DR.. c. J. Ellis, who has Just re-
turned to Buffalo from q four-month
trip to Alaska, brings back stories Of
that territory which will make the
mouths Of western New York sports
men water. The usual tourist route
Is to Skaguay or one Of the south
eastern coast towns and thence back
to Seattle. Doctor Ellis went over the
long interior route from Skaguay over
the White Pass railroad to the head
waters Of the Yukon and the whole
length Of the river. some $500 miles.
thence out by way Of Nome and back
to Seattle by the ocean route, some
5000 miles more-making q trip from
Buffalo and back Of some $1,000 miles.
During his journey through Alaska he
took side trips into the interior to
several mining sections and into the
big game and FISH country.
Before I went to Alaska" said
Doctor Ellis recently, to a representa-.
tive of the Buffalo Express, 81 thought
I knew what fishing was; but I did
not learn until l reached that country,
Now / know what fishing in a perfect
ly virgin stream Is like. In the MI
lato. with q friend. we caught brook
trout Of from one to three pounds un.
til we tired Of 1t. We could have
caught four times as many as we did,
but what was the use of killing when
we had enough? l never knew any
thing like the way the trout rose to
the cast.
For a time we stayed in a miners
cabin so miles back from the Yukon
with Jim Muir, . nephew Of John
Muir. On the way in, a moose was
killed from the wagon in which We
were riding. We just missed q herd
| Of 10000 caribou. There were bears
all around"
Doctor Ellis brought home a large
number of specimens. including two
perfect mastodon teeth, one of which
he has promised to William T. Horn.
aday of New York. He also brought
home many photographs of the scenes
along his journey.

reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have q rum
bling sound or impartial hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine

The most beautiful and probably TIRE
most important member Of the quartz
family is the amethyst, which. .ccord-
ing to a bulletin of the American Gem
and Pearl company, varies IN color
from royal purple to the lightest
shades Of purple. and from brownish
pink to light pink and lilac. This stone
was In great demand among Greek and
Roman topers because of the belief
that the weare of one oul permit
Indulgence but prevent drunkenness.
Amethyst was also credited with the
power to expel poison, make its wear
er expert in business. fairs, and VIC
torious in chase and battle. While
the vogue of the amethyst has arisen
and waned in the last 40 years, there
has never been q period during that
time when this beautiful stone has
not been sought for by those who ap-
preciate jewels for their rtistic value.
