or more kinds of fish in the Lake Dis
trict, the best of which they send to
the big markets to the south. Their
own diet consists almost entirely OF
fish and coarse bread. They mix stale
fish with their -four and make fiat
cake to enjoy which the stranger first
needs considerable experience and
resolution.
The peasants hunt squirrels in win
ter, when their fur is thick and valu-
able. The pelts are sold at the Mini
Novgorod fair. They also hunt otter,
bear, and game birds, the last of which
are killed as recklessly for the big city
markets as was once the case in this
country. Russia's store of game birds
still appears inexhaustible and with
her northern forests and plains TEEN
ing with thi life, with her ten thous
and lakes rich feeding and breeding
grounds for duck and goose, there has
been little need of curtailing the &C.
tivity of the peasant huntsman. Many
thousands of tons of hare are killed
for the city tables. The northern
peasants, however, are satisfied with
their fish, their coarse bread, their
onions and their turnips. One marked
difference between the Finnish and the
Russian peasant is that the Finn much
prefers coffee to tea, while the Russian
seldom goes beyond an hours march OF
the steaming samovar and the teacup
beside it."

Early in the season, when the pitchers didn't know much about Kauff's ability, they didn't make any particular effort to get the ball out of his way when he would announce that he would hit thae particular of- fering But later on they learned that Kauff usually meant what he said, and when he announced that he would hit the second or the third, they would make a pitch.out. But Kauff used to so after the second or third offer ing, whichever he named no matter where 1t was. Usually he met it and belted 1t a mile or so
 Kauff pulled the same tricks on bases He would tell the opposing pitchers just when he planned to steal. And he would go down on that pitch, and usually make the base, Some times, Of course, he would cross the opposition. He would establish the reputation of making good his threat, to steel second on the second pitch, or to hit the second offering while he was at bat. and the pitchers would expect him to do it. Kauff would cross the other team by stealing onI the first pitch. or hitting at an offer ing which he had not named.

sibindes or citizenship. The fact that you are descendants 0i the native races oi>-Alaska, and your citizenship has not been established, need not ia any way discourage you. In the first place under the American sys. tenn Of government, as soon as you as a people have qualified for city zenship you will be recognized as ciu- 1ens. The government. however. has not left thls matter to iate. but has laid down certain rules and laws by which you may establish your rights to take part ln public affairs. and shall attempt to briefly sIate the methods by which this may be done. as understand them.
 "In order to properly consider the status Of the natives Of this Terri- tory i is necessary to go back into their history 9 little. After the oceu- patton of Alaska by Russia, many or the native tribes were converted 70 Christianity and became members Of the Greco-Russian Church These people lived in permanent villages in fixed hahitations. usually in close proA- imity with the Russians with whom they were intermarried In the fourth article Of the Imperial ukase of Octo- Der lSs4, they were officially recog- nhed as subjects Of Russia. it may, therefore. be properly contended that these settled tribes and their de- scendants either of the whole or the mixed blood. come within the scope ol the designation found in the third article of the treaty of cession. which says The inhabitants Of the ceded territory. with the exception of the unciyilized tribes, shall be admitted to the fulI enjoyment Of all rights, advantages and immunities of cit- zens of the United States. and shall be protected in the free enjoyment Of their liberty. property and relig- lon. The uncivillzed tribes will be subject Go such laws and regulations as the United States may from tune to time. adopt in regard to aboriginal tribes of that country. lt would seem then. that for one Of you to estao- fish himself as citizen of the Unit ed States under this test that 1t would be necessary for him to show that at the time Of the transfer of Alaska to the United States he or his ancestors belonged to Che settled or civilized trihes.
 Another method by which an ln- dian may acquire citizenship is un. der the so-caned Indian severaity law wbich is Of general application and is iu force in Alaska. This law pro- vides that every Indian born within the territorial limits of the United States who has voluntarily taken up, wighin said limits. his residence sep. arate and apart from any tribe Of Indians therein. and has adopted the habits of civilized life. is declared to be a citizen of the United States. Applying this law to Alaska ] do not beiece that the pharase taken up his residence separate and apart from any tribe of Indians. means physi cal separation. such as building his residence in place remote from oth-

 POLITICS REVIEWED


 The 1915 edition oi ihe New Fork World Almanac which has just seoch. ed Juneau news dealors, re9iyea the discussion about the politics ol Dele gate James Wickersham lt lists him as Democrat Former editions Of the Almanac classified hin as Re- publican.
 When speaking in Juneau during the campaign Delegate Wickersham said thot when asked his politics he re- piled. [ am an Alaskan. in another speech In Southeastern Alaska he said that be was on "lndependent
 At sitka he is said to have said thai he Svas au independent Republican "
 Since the election he has said that he was elected m Alaska as the can- 8ldate of Che Progressive Democratic party and that he defeated the can- dlda,e Of Che "Standpat" Democratic party
 Since that time some of the news. papers which supported him in the re- cent campaingn have characterized him aa a Progressive" Democrat, and others have continued to Insist that he Is stln an Independent" The oth- CT day the Ketchikan Progressive said that he is stiil Republican.
 In the las, edition of the Congress sional directory the biography of Delegate Wickersham, presumably written by himself has moi a word to say about the politics Of the Dele. gate. In fact that has been the case of the last two directories, issued of the 6Srd Consress. The directories of the 62nd and former Congresses listed him as Q Republican.
 May Seek To Control Democratic Or
 ganization.
 The designation of Delegate Wick ershaiu as Democrat by the New York World Almanac adds additional interest to a well authenticated report in circulation for some time, which says that some at least oi the so-call- ed Progressive Democrats or the Westward have already started movement to capture the regular Democratic organization in Alaska and through it both to nominate Dele gate Wlckersham as the Democratic candidate for Delegate next year and to cleo, him Co be Alaska's member Of the Democratic National Commit tee. The report says that an ef- fort toward this end already is under way. Whether or not it has gone thnt far, it is known that the temper Of the people is being sounded to ascertain whether or not such movement would possess the possibility Of sue cess.
 However while Delegate Wicker sham Is tagged as Democrat by the New York World and while he has said on at least one public occasion
 at Seattle-and later had written into the record of a hearing before Congressional committee that bel was elected as a Progressive Demo crat' there is no evidence that he has quoted with personal application che famous sentence Of David B. Hili -'I am Democrat"
 But as it was truly said by a politi. cal adherent few days ago, one who would like to support the Delegate as a Democrat. "it is long time before the preliminaries of the 1916 cam. paign." This former Democrat and present 'Wickershamite" said with emphasis: Just walt the Judge win make am unequivocaf declaration that he is a Democrat in due time
 He also said that Delegate Wicker. sham win introduce bill early In the next Congfess, amending Alaska's or ganic act so as to provide a full Ter ritorial form of government for Alas ka."
