STRANGE STORY
 FROM INTERIOR

Henry Phillips, humble disciple of Gutenberg and Fust, and native Al askan philosopher, who has been managing the Indian cooperative store at the village Of Klukwan for several months, up till about two weeks ago, when he returned tC his home in Skagway, brings the first news of strange story that is being told by Indians who arrived in Klukwan recently from Dalton Post, in Northern Brit ish Columbia.
 The tale as told is that an h. idan, well known in the vicinity Of Dalton Post, where he was born and reared, was taken sick last fall and after a time passed away, but AS hours after his supposed death, when his relatives were preparing for his burial, he arose and pro claimed himself Messiah, and where IS before his demise he was familiar with no language but that of his own tribe, upon his resurrection he vas able to speak fluentiy ia Eng l'sh. Latin and many other tCugdei.
 Upon his return to consciousness he Indian told those gathered qround that while his body lay in q state of coma his sphit had been transported to Heaven, where he was taken into q house where all those present, save the ones in charge, sang songs and where Aa was instructed in q full knowledge 0t English and other languages.
 Since his recovery he has gone around among the scattered and remote Indian villages of the interior preaching, instructing his followers that they shall not call the Sabbath day sunday, but Special Day, during the hours Of which they shall neither cock nor do any other kind Of labor; that they shall follow after him, but shall always keep thier faces turned TIeavenward instead of toward the earth; that they shall cr2cs themselves with their left hands iu- stead of their right, and has de- Jared necessary many other require ments with the details of which our informant is not familiar.
 The new religion is said to have attracted widespread interest among the natives, many of whom are HOW professed and ardent believers.

IGNORANCE IS
 UNBELIEVABLE

The deplorable ignorance of Alas ka shown by people who are not iu touch with the terriIcry through business relations is FernaLs eN- cusable in many instuLces, D"t tll"t the distributing department oI d big mail order house, sdppo5eu.y familiar with conditions ill the re motest corners of Uncle sans pos sessions, should display sucL d wOe- ful and criminal lack of knowledge as the following letter from The Charles William Stores, distributors oP general merchandise, New York City, to the wife Of prominent merchant in a neighborng town be- trays, would have been utterly un- believable had We not the evidence of it's truthfulness iu black and white spread before us:
 Dear Friend: Acknowledging your request for a copy O. odr cutaIog We regret that we cannot sead one to you as it Is contr;uy tu our policy t sell merchandise uatsidc the United States.
 We have adopted this policy because customs, extra transporta- ton charges, etc, make it impos- slble for the customers living out siGe the United States to deal with us advantageously. These coadi- tions also make it impossible for ds to give you the service our cataloS guarantees.
 Thanking you for your interest we are,
 Yours very truly,

 Of course there are other mail order houses which are perfectly familiar with the mudus operendi of shipping goods to the rorth, and with whom the people of Alaska do more or less business lprobaOly more).

 Then the Lennon Civic asSe- cration was formed after the city .a.t spring adopted tie commission form of government. The associa- tion included men of many different walks of life and business. Minis tc"s wore among the membership. The association was given saloon li"ensc. A manager, one of the strongest prohibition workers in 'le city, was appointed. He re- caiyes no salary. The two bar Keepers receive such good salaries that graft of any kind is eliminated. By the associations rules the sale os liquor is not pushed. A blacklist contains the names of persons who cannot buy liquor here. Patrons who cuce show a disposition to look even one time too frequently into the cup that cheers are blacklisted. Known drunkards may not enter the saloon: neither may persons whose families are known to be in want. Mayor B. R. Watt is one of the strongest boosters of Lemmon's municipal saloon.
 since the saloon started last July" said Mayor Watt today "it has given satisfactory results from every point of view When we had eight saloons here you can readily imagine what element dom mated our politics. We have elimin ated nearly all of the factional fighting and are all now working for the best interests of our city. We have practically no drunkenness in Lennon. Certainly no man has become a drunkard in Lemon since lhe municipal saloon started. l would sure recommend it as being far above private ownership"

when the price of bread is incre2s- ing.
 We'll, a substitute for flour has been invented. It is cotton seed flour. But it's no cheaper than flour. In fact, just now it's twice IS expensive. You may now have cotton seed biscuits, cotton seed bread, and cotton seed rolls. There's no limit to the use of the new flour that doesn't apply az well to or dinary flour. But the cotton seed kind is most expensive. A dozen rolls made from the new flour costs twenty cents here today.
 The manufacturers of the cot ton seed stuff predict that when the process is better developed the rew flour may be cheaper than ordinary flour.
 Not so many years hack the cot ton seed was considereo of little Or no value. It WAS left in great stacks in the fields and used as fertilizer. Then a series of remark able discoveries added millions to the value of each cotton crop by developing new usec for the cotton seed. It is now made into meal and hulls for livestock, oil for cooking and flour for baking as well as leaving something for fertilizer. The oil has numerous uses, even ap- bearing in adulterauons of ice cream.
