 In his mail this same citizen found bill from a public service corpora tion. There were two items: $225 and 9 cents. These, typewriter, were tabulated. and below total in lead pencilinG read "450" On calling at the office to pay the bill he rendered check for the true amount. The clerk declined to accept on the ground that he had no authority to correct the obvious mistake. and referred the subscriber to a nearly counter. There another man referred him to a third walking about the room. The third like the second. declared himself ln- authorized to make $2.25 plus 25 cents equal anything else than $4.50, and asked the victim to state his wants to a fourth corner. Tn this part of the room he found an impatient crowd three deep at a counter behind which toiled a one and worried man. The citizen after another ten minutes vain wait went away mailed his check and let the manager. board of directors or whoever else might have authority correct 1t at their leisure.

Alaska natives. All tho money that has spent has been spent by the com missioner of education out of his ap- propriation for the education and sup port of the natives. The fact that medical work among the natives is necessary needs no elaborate argu- ment backed up by statistics showing the per cent afflicted with tuberculo- sis, etc. There are approximately 35,- QUO natives in Alaska, 35,oO0 people without doctor or bottle of medi- cine except that providing by skimp- ing a school fund. That statement ought to be enough to show the need of an adequate appropriation distinct from an appropriation for education.
 The bill referred to. as reported by- wire, provided S2O.OOO for the protec- tion of the game, 32s,0OO for the seal service and s6O,0o0 for the protection of the seals. Here are ;10S,O0O for purpose that are worthy enough, but not one cent for the medical care of native or the prevention of disease among them. There is enough of a sentimental reason for the relief of suffering among 35,0OO people. but there is also a selfish reason and a good dollar and cents reason.
 If disease is allowed to spread among the natives the chances for its spreading among whites are worthy of notice. large proportion of the whites in Alaska have to travel and come into contact with the natives. and all of us at times wear fur gar. ments made by natives from native materials. The last good reason for medical work among the natives, SUD- ported by an adequate medical aporo- priation. Is straight business.

To declare an armistice during the pehdency of the mediation proceedings Is the obvious course .but to halt our
 military preparations for the same period would be most unwise.
 The secretary of war is reported to be continuing his preparatory work with unabated zeal and it would be most unfortunate if any adverse in- huence in the cabinet should be DOW erful enough to stop him.
 Nobody knows exactly what is to be 'mediated." Neither is it yet de- termined who is to enforce the find- ings of the mediation court.
 It may readily occur that these find. . ings will be of nature exceedingly dispieasing to Huerta. who may, hold them outside the principle of me.i'a- iion' which he has accepted. Or they niay not suit the somewhat naughty Carranza, or the militant Villa, who thus far have agreed to nothing.
 In such event strong arm will be necessary to enforce the decree, and not only our nation but the intelligent class of Mexicans and civilization in general will be grateful to Secretary Garrison for intelligent preparation for the intervention then demanded.
 The substitution of a Huerta parti- san for Huerta will mean one kind of revolt; the substitution of Car ranza or Villa for Huerta, another. The recommendation of a complete stay of insurrectionary activity until a free. fair and constitutional election be held would mean putting over the whole question of restoring order in Mexico to eternity. for such an cleo tion is beyond the capacity of the Mexican people today.
 No conceivable determination of the commission will restore good order immediately in Mexico. or restore it at all without the employ ment of armed force. As we are not likely to ask the A. B. c. mediators to furnish it it is of the highest ,m- portance that We ourselves be prepar- ed to meet tha need.-New York Ann erican.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. JUNE 10, 1914.

In recent dispatch from Wash- ington the appropriation for Alaska contained in the sundry civil bill were reported. The regular appropria ton for the education of the natives has been repeated $20O,0O0. but no provis- ion has been made for the medical work that is so badly needed among them. A statement was once made by a government official that Alaska was the pampered pet of the nation on &C., count of the supposed lavish sums spent in the territory by the govern ment. That statement is certainly not true in connection with the work among the natives. From the last published report of the bureau of edu- cation. June 30. 1912, We learn that this annual appropriation of $20O 900 supported so schools all over the ter ritory. In addition to the support of these schools. including all the ex- pense of teachers salaries, travelIng expenses from the states, fuel SUD. plies. etc, this appropriation paid the expenses of off1ces in Washington and Seattle. and the salaries of five super. ihtendents and their travelling ex- penses which covered the visiting of every native village in Alaska at least once year. And in addition to all this the appropriation was stretched still farther to provide $25,000 for q very limited amount of medical work done all over Alaska.
 Many criticisms are made of the work of the bureau of education among the natives but 1t does seem that they can at least claim the rath. CT inglorious virture of extreme econ. omy in administration.
 In connection with the dispatch above referred to and the general irc- portance now given to Alaskan affairs 1t does seem strange that for the last Tour years congress should persistent y refuse to, appropriate one cent for medical work among the natives of the co1' ny. In this day and sener- ation no one can stand up and say that any person or people are abso- lutely the worse off for education. Itl sometimes happens that an education s bad for person or a people but 1t is invariably because it Is the wrong kind of education. No one can say that the money spent for the educa- tion of the natives Is wasted or that 1t should all be spent for the purpose of making the natives we'll. Education must so with medicine and even be. fore 1t if medicine is to have any last. ing effect.

gether they proceeded to Hudson,

of several hours, carried on to deter
mine whether or not they were suited

SETTLERS WILL RESIST
EAyORTISM TO INDIANS

White River, s. ID. Dec. 9.--Two legal
questions have arisen in the newly set
tied county Of Mellette, which was I'M
til 1912 part OF the Rosebud reserva-
ton. These questions are: Cd When
a county is organized from a part or n
reservation does IL cease to be a part
of the reservation? (2) Does the
South Dakota or federal statute apply
to trespass OF stock upon an allotment
or upon open land?
In the Rosebud reservation 1t has
been an old custom of the government,
through the officials, to require the
white owners of stock to pay 81 per
head as grazing privilege. The set
tiers have organized now, and en-
ployed attorneys to resist the payment
of that fee, which they claim the. gov
eminent stin attempts to collect In
Melette county under the guise OF tres
pass upon allotments. The settlers
further claim that the government has
no right to fix an arbitrary price for
trespass, and that the Indian IL dam
aged has his full recourse under the
state statutes.
The settlers further claim that the
government resists the payment of any
damage done by Indian cattle, tress-
passing on settlers crops. The settlers
think that the same state law applies
to Indians and white settlers.

LIGHTING PROBLEM MET
BY CONSOLIDATED PLANTS

Madison. S. D., Dec. 9-The high
cost of electric lights in many South
Dakota towns, owing TO the small num-
Der of patrons using the current from
each plant, has led to efforts to COM
bine number of towns into one light
ing system with a central power plant.
BY the recent completion of its second
interurban service line, Lake Preston
lighting company is now serving Het-
land on the east and DeSmet on the
west three towns being lighted from
one plant. ~
The experiment is being watched
with interest by other South Dakota
towns. 1t is being demonstrated that 1t
is possible TO supply the people of sew
eral small towns with the light at a
lower rate than coud be made with
separate plants. Further extensions to
nearby towns are planned and II is
believed these interurban lighting sys-
TENS will soon become the rule rather
than the exception in South Dakota.

EXPRESS COMPANY is
HELD NOT GUILTY OF
ILLEGAL SHIPMENTS
First Test Case of Charges on
File Against Four Concerns
In Clark County.

Clark. s. D., Dec. I'm state circuit
court here the American Express COM
pany was acquitted OF violation OF the
South Dakota statute regarding the
shipment of liquor from a wet terri
tory to dry territory within the state,
In contravention of the law providing:
Wholesale dealers shall be held to
mean and include all persons who sell
or deliver such liquors or beverages in
quantities OF five gallons or over at any
time to any one person or persons"
The four express companies and the
four railroads doing business in Clark
county were all charged with the same
offense, on different counts, and the
American Express company was the
first one to be tried. II Is not yet
known whether the other cases will nov
be pressed or not.
The testimony In the case tried
showed that a deputy sheriff OF Clark
county ordered a case OF beer from the
Hamm Brewing company at Watertown
which was shipped to Clark through the
American Express company. The at
torneys for the express company con-
tended that the liquor was purchased
I. o. b. Watertown: that the actual sale
was made in WATERFOWL, and that the
express company was simply acting
as the agent of the purchaser when II
shipped the goods to him at Clark, and
was In no wise acting as a vendor of
the goods. The jury found the statute
does not prohibit the shipment of
liquors from a wet" territory to a
dry territory within the state when
the person or persons making the de-
livery acts simply as a common car
rier. and acquitted the express COM
pany. .. .I
It Is not yet known whether the
states attorney of Clark county will
take further action in the matter.

the charge that the boys death was due

treme carelessness or pure viciousness
