 One Juneauite invented an electri- cal device, and another a War bomb with destructive features An inter for man invented knife with so finely tempered steel that il would shave a nail without dnlling the edge. This has been Touched for by several old timers.
 Captain Peabody, the well known river navigator and mining man, in, vented device for the safe handling or dynamite. for which he received a comfortable sum.
 The evolution Of mining from the crude wood fine method to steam thaw points and large machinery plants is due to the inventive genius of Alaska miners.
 They have improved upon hoistine and bucket apparatus and worked out many detailed and important improve ments for which they never obtained patents,
 In fact. it is not untruthful to state that, per population, Alaska has pro hably accomplished more concrete re suits in professional lines, in literature and science and industry than Is trut of any part Of the world.

INT FAM0US TAR N DOES GREAT
 INJUSTICE

A SlOFy puDllSneu III the Fa1rDankS Citizen and copied by most of the pa pers in Alaska, does a former resident of the territory. who is now famous writer, gross injustice. as there is no foundation in fact for the halluci- nations of the degenerate woman who claims to be Rex Beach's former wife. Beach mined near Nome in the early days of that camp, and later became famous by writing "The Spoilers" and other Alaskan stories. He was never married until he welded his present wife. and they are living together hap oily back east The following is the infamous lie sprung by debauched native. now serving term in jail for vagrancy, and which has been given considerable publicity:
 She is the victim of the ways of the white people. she says, when talking about her troubles. She Is drunkard for which she is being punished, ac- cording to her statement, but she lays it all at the white mans door, saying that white mans "hootch" has been her downfall. She Is an Indian woman named Annie Lyons. and is serving a term for vagrancy in the federal jail here, having been committed from Panama. But the most interesting part of her story is that she claims to have once been the wife of Rex Beach, the now world famous novelist.
 And that is this Indian woman's claim to notoriety. For she has lived as wife in the early days of Rampant has now become famous, and she has also learned that on account of his fame she, too, is famous char acter to the tourists who now visit Alaska annually. It has therefore been her custom during the past two years to pose for snapshots taken by curi- ostty seeking summer visitors to in- terior Alaska at four bits each. That is, she charges each tourist 50 cents for the privilege of "snapping" her. In this manner the woman has eked out living at Panama during the summer months for the past two years. She depends altogether on somebody else to take care of her during the winter, caring not for the coming of the cold days. as she spends her summers earnings to gratify her appetite for liquor. undoubtedly fur nished by some interruptions white | man.
 l Last winter she was convicted oi yagrancy at Panama and sent here to serve out her term. In this manner she was kept throughout the winter
 and was also prevented from getting
 liquor. This year the sentence i'm
 posed was 125 days. The former wife
 of Rex Beach is therefore practically
 certain that she will not want this winter. although she hates the thought
 of languishing in jail. and in her more
 pensive moments planes the white
 man and association with him for al
 her troubles.
 l There is but little doubt but tha
 the weman's story that she sor.aers:
 lived with Rex Beach is true. For i
 is corroborated by residents of vari
 ous lower river points who hav'
 known her for years.
