ASSlMIIATlNG THE INDIAN,

According to special report on the Indian population of the United states land Alaska soon to be issued by the bureau of the census, there were 265,- 6S3 Indians in this country 1910, rep
 ng an increase of 17,430 of ' per cent over the number reported in 1890 eration of the race.
 The report, however, will show a much lower rate of growth for the ln- dian population than for the white. an increasing admixture of white blood decreasing vitality of full blood In- dians indicating tendency to disap- pear altogether; increasing attendance of school and decreasing illiteracy, an increase in the percentage of the self supporting and finally a decrease in the number of reservation Indians.
 Perhaps the Indian would have been happier if he had not been disturbed in the rugged life which his ancestors lived. But the Indian has been a true sport. He as not only accepted de- feat, but has turned it into triumph Among the Indian population today are r1und manufacturers, bankers, United
 .cs officials, mechanical engineers, | motive engineers. telegraph opera : ,ors. actors artists, clergymen, college professors, physicians, surgeons ano lIawyers. The live Indian has become 9 good Indian and help to civiliza- tion He has played civilizations own game and won.-Washington Post.

NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 24, 1915.

The announcement contained in the case is unquestionably a most earnest endorsement of the previously outlined policy respecting the submarine wal and is perhaps the most substantial proof of the desire of that nation to re- main on friendly terms with the Uni- ted States, so far forthcoming. Above all of it is the clearest acknowledge ment that Germany recognizes the wrong to innocent parties involved in her arbitrary methods of warfare. This has been the primary object of the ef- forts of the United States to secure an acknowledgement that the submarine acts of the German nation were beyond he pale of recognized law and in de- fiance of the principles of right. This sentiment was the keynote of the en- note addressed to Germany reiterated this contention and called for an open disavowal of her seemingly wanton
 
 acts Germany has consistently re- fused, however, and until recently clung to her original contention that the acts of her adversaries justified her methods and the rising friction between the na- tions has been largely the result of this persistent refusal.
 The United States has demanded nc reprisals and the American notes con- tained no hint of indemnity. What was wanted more than aught else was an open a straightforward acknowl- edgement of the wrong in the German methods and a promise to discontinue like practices. The patience of the American government in the face o1 the repeated offenses was the dearest evidence that this nation was not seek ing more than her just rights One cannot but wonder what would have been the result had some other nation of power and strength equal to that of the United States been involved as the injured party and it is surmised that had this been England or any one of the great nations the German quibbllng 1 and evasions would have been given short shift and but little time would have elapsed between a warning and 2

AIDING eMPLoYEs.

one of the most notable of move
 ments in the present generation is that of many corporations In endeayoring to improve the conditions under which their employees work and in the steps taken to further their comfort, improve their health and add to their efficiency AS business concerns perhaps the con
 yentional thing for them Is to insist as they do that all such steps are taken from no altruistic motives. but merely from enlightened self interest. on the theory that they get full returns in the increased efficiency of their employs.
 Tn New York Sun, in a recent issue has rather lengthy review of some of the things which big life insur- ance company is doing. Among other things 1t serves without charge a wholesome midday meal to $500 em- ployes in two dining rooms. one for the men and one for the women. But the officials of the company insist that this | is merely business matter and apolo- gizes thus: .. "To insure efficiency the company i finds it good policy to provide these ] nourishing meals for each of it's em-
 yef. This luncheon Is not considered
 -uity. but rather as supplement
 to the wages, even If they are as high
 as if not higher than wages paid
 others in the same line of work"
 For fifteen years the company has
 maintained a staff savings fund. oper
 to all employees earning less than $3.00t ear. Deposits are limited to per cent of the depositors' earnings an6 the company subscribes a sum equal to 50 per cent of each deposit. The bonus system, through which considerable ad ditions are made year by year to the salaries of each employe. Is justified on the theory that 1t pays to keep the staff as nearly permanent as possible
 This company is not unique. What 1t Is doing Is being substantially dupli- cnted by many of the larger corpora . tions of the country and bids fair to become a general rule. One may rest assured that enlightened self interest Is not the sole actuating motive.-P.-I.

ALASKA NEXT

After the San Francisco Panama Pa enc exposition the Alaska exhibition And more than that, 1t is to be an All Alaskan exposition. Properly speak ing, it is to be chain of celebrations in all of the cities in the territory, the Idea being that the tourist will be put on sort of exposition circuit and shown all of the wonders and resources of the country in succession.
 Juneau, Skagway. Wrangell, Fair l banks and Ketchikan are all working
 enthusiastically in partnership and
 without the slightest jealousy to evolve
 such a plan. according to advices from
 Seattle which. as the principal handler
 of the tourists stream to the northwest
 country, Is pushing the idea along for all 1t Is worth through it's chamber of commerce.
 Already the year 1917 has been se-
 iected for the event, as it will be the fiftieth anniversary year of the acqui- sition of Alaska as q territory by the United States. The exact date will be some time in early summer, still to be determined As no pretentious Towers of Jewels or exposition palaces are tc be constructed the date is of no special importance. The Alaskans will let their mOunfaips apd foraot.o Dracant their wonders for themselves.
 In fact this celebration is being con- ceiyed as more than a show. Espe cial effort is to be made to attract vis itors who may settle in the fertile val leys and share in the development of country that is destined to make many of it's citizens wealthy. There is to be an earnest effort to awaken the people

for a few miles to his ranch up the

capped with snow all the year round.
AS we reached the house modern,

and as we set for few moments to
rest 1t Seemed to me l never saw
such "a house with SUCH setting.
Never have I seen an Italian villa or
Swiss chattel more beautiful in its own
peculiar setting than this. AS we
sat on the broad porch we were
wholly surrounded by mountains.
Now one glistening in the sun in its
splendor. another all darkened by a
cloud or rain.
The land here is all moistened by
irrigation. The method Is well known.
The water Is carried by bitches to

Is done after the approved methods.

Several cities on or near the route

Plans and Orders of Rus

VIENNA, Sept. Am accidental
crossing of telephone wires was re-
sponsible for recent Austrian VIC
tory over the Russians, according to a
story that Is current here. @
Officers at one of the Austrian staff
headquarters were amazed one day,
on trying to use one Of their tele-
phone lines, to hear Russian words
spoken. An officer conyersant with
that tongue was hastily summoned,
and got to the telephone in time to
get the most important part of the
message that was being transmitted.
The chief of STAFF Of Russian as
vision was trying to talk to a briga-
der. Perhaps because of the crossed
wires, which enabled the Austrians
to hear, che connection was poor and
both mad to speak with unusual clear
ness and much repetition. The order
was for two battalions to attack de-
c:sively at given hour a specified
Austrian position, while three com
panies were to assist by flank at
tack. Ia,
In conclusion the Austrians were
given the novelty Of hearing a Rus
sian major protest against the order.
and demand its purpose, since, he
complained, 1t would probably result
in defeat or retreat. The Austrians

merely laid in wait and bagged 1000
prisoners, including the major who
had protested. E'F
