MISFORTUNE STRIKES .
 TWICE IN SAME PLACE

Del Wilkinson, who was in the em- ploy of the Road Commission, was brought into town last night by the Road Commission auto suffering from a broken leg and injuries to his back. Young Wilkinson was driving a dou- ble-ender loaded with five logs. While going up a hill near the canyon the sled overturned and rolled onto the driver. He laid in this position for about half an hour before help arriv- ed and released him. Dr. Merit went out with the Road Commission auto driven by Charles Bradbury, and the injured man was brought in and taken to his home. How badly his back is injured cannot be ascertained at this time.
 George Wilkinson, father of the in- jured man, fell on the dock a few days ago and fractured his shoulder, and is also confined to his home.

BOSTON has again come into the limelight by legislation tending to- ward the removal of conspicuous ad- vertising signs. And it is a good plan, for in these days of first-class newspapers there is no necessity for a man to emblazon the virtues of his wares upon fences and prominent scenic features of a landscape. The merchant who passes up the news papers and depends upon store win dows and bill boards for his adver- tising is doomed to failure. The pub lie of today is too busy to read as it runs, and good, legitimate news paper advertising has shown so con- clusively that it producing results that the merchant who fails to pat ronize his home paper has either lost all interest in his business or has a singular lack of civic pride.

THE OPEN season for the pursuit of Chinese pheasants in number of States of the American Union is on, and strong men with rapid fire guns are engaged in the destruction of the beautiful birds. In some of the states only three can be legally shot by one person during the season, but it is a notorious fact that the limitation is often disregarded. The same may be said of ptarmigan in Alaska. In both cases it is like shooting chickens in a barnyard, and is hardly legitimate sport. In Alaska, however, ptarmi- gan shooting is not done for sport, but for meat, as is not the case with China pheasant shooting in the States. Chinese pheasants would breed plenti- fully in Alaska, as they are strong, hardy birds. amply able to take care of themselves under any condition, and their introduction into the Terri tory would result in much good. They are larger than chicken and the flesh much superior in flavor.

PROFESSOR Hugh Muensterbur

PROFESSOR Hugh Muensterburg
 professor of psychology at Harvard
 and one of the foremost pro-German lspokesmen in this country, says he ha' reliable information that Russia and Germany will sign terms of separate peace before next spring and that this Imomentous event will be followed by the formation of an alliance includ- ing Germany, Austria, Russia and Ja- pan. He asserts an overwhelming ma jority of Germans and Russians favor such an alliance today, basing it on the old Bismarckan tradition that Germany ought to be the friend of
 Russia and that such an alliance
 would be both countries surest pro-
 lection against English aggression. II
 is concluded that in order to prevent
 such combination being formed En-
 gland will try to come to an under standing with Germany and agree to
 peace on a reasonable basis. The the
 ory may be reasonable or unreason-
 able and every person can draw h.s
 own conclusion as to it's probability.

PROBABLY no election in the re- collection of man has been as close or as full of surprises as the present na- tional one. It was believed by many politicians that the policy of Presi dent Wilson would be either popular or unpopular, and that the endorsa- tion or protest against his adminis- tration would be strong one. On the other hand the Democrats believ- ed that Hughes would be very unpop- ular on account of Roosevelt's clam brings. In both cases both sides were wrong. The voters seem to have gone to the polls and voted for the man of their choice in the good old way, re- gardless of party platforms.

the Indian group and the Indian tribe have a fer brighter outlook at pres ent than they have had at any time since the white man took possession of the land.
 It is certain that cognizance should be taken of improvement, and that credit should cheerfully be granted those who have brought it about. There is an abundance of testimony going to show that the Indian, for the first time in centuries, is receiv- ing at the hands of the government and people of the United States a liberal measure of fair play. The In- dian is beginning to take a part in the commercial and industrial activ- ities of the nation and in the body polite, by reason of the work done for him in college and school; and he is beginning also to take notice of his relation to affairs, public and pri- vate, and to measure his advantages and disadvantages in his competitive struggle.
 Would it not be unwise, at his awakening to a new day, that he should be told on every side that he is not being treated according to his deserts, thus handicapping him at the start with a grievance?

ONE singular feature of the vote for Delegate is that along the Valdez Fairbanks trail, where the Delegate should have been decidedly unpopu- lar, he received majority of the votes, while in outlying districts and mining camps where delegate is of as much importance as pterodactyl or dinosaurus, Sulzer received ma jority of the vote.

FAIR PLAY FOR INDIANS.

There is something palpably defec. tive in the reasoning that civil service reform in the United States can be advanced as we'll by a removal ae by an appointment. One of the great est weaknesses in the whole civil service reform propaganda is the no. tion, common to its protagonists, that a long encumbent of an official position cannot be replaced by a new man to the advantage of the public. Another is the doctrine that those upon whom responsibility has fallen by reason of change in government, cannot make changes among their subordinates from any but unworthy motives. The civil service law was fought for years in the United States by conscientious people who believed that from it might spring abuses even greater than those its introduction was meant to prevent. Great numbers of conscientious people are yet un- convinced to the contrary. At inter- vals now they see indications of 6 tendency to encourage the permanent office holding and official class sys- tenn. This is particularly manifested in bureau organization and admins tration.
 Fault has been recently found with tha povarnmant at Wacbinoton bo cause of certain removals in the h. dian service. It is not intended either to approve or condemn these remov- als, but it would seem that the gov ernment chosen by the people must be left free to govern according to it's best lights. It must be privileged to manage details in accordance with its best judgment. Otherwise it would get nowhere. It cannot be held to the accomplishment of tasks, and at the same time be restricted at every step. If everything said about the govern mental dealing with the Indian is true, then the civil service reformers must take their share of the respon- sibility, as we'll as their share of the credit, for they have had matters pretty we'll in their own hands, and much their own way, for many years.
 Improvement in the administration of Indian affairs in the United States, as a matter of fact, has been steady and marked in recent years. The best evidence is to be found in the condi- tion of the Indians today, as compar- ed with, say twenty-five years ago. The work of commission Cato Sells has deserved, as it has compelled, general commendation. It is not to be contended that the conduct of h. dian affairs is as yet ideal, but it is fair to say that the individual Indian
