It is too bad that the American

There is a mountain of work a.

prove a herculean task for him to
rehabilitate his party in Idaho. We
have great confidence in the Sena-

the task laid out for him, but then
there is the attraction of the law
on the other hand and our senior
Senator is an exceedingly wise man.
The days are rapidly growing

Kendrick has people enough and
the quality of it's citizenship will
compare favorably with any com.

ably lack in civic pride. Oul
homes could be made more attrac

that the railroad, for the distance
of mile, runs through her back
yards and passengers remember the
town from what they see. But VIZ

our little CITY, let US assist natur

Mir Mcdowell came on business errands that needed attention before the opening of navigation He reports that there is not sn idle man in the new camp at this time. but of course does not know how long such a desirable condition of af fairs will last At the time of his de parture from Willow creek there was a large force of men, with all the available dog teams, employed on the highway from the landing to the Giggings. The road is being constructed over ground that re- quires long stretches of corduroy work; con sequently the dogs are used to good ad- vantage before the snow disappears in get ting timbers to the roadway.
 Although there has been no "new pay" ground reported in the district, the mining outlook for the coming year Is very encour- aging

CASE OF LITTLE NATIVE GIRL
 AROUSES INTEREST OF LADIES

Mrs Iatte C. Thornton Is endeaV0mng to interest the people of this city and district in the pathetic case of little Indian maiden who has been totally blind for the past four wears and whose sight 1t is believed, can be restored if proper measures are taken in time
 The unfortunate little tot is Mary Mar celle the daughter of native family which has resided here for some years past. She Is eight years old and half of her life has been spent in total darkness. She is said to be extremely intelligent, and in spite of her aff1iction. of bright and cheerful dlsposl- ton. It has been intlmated by physicians that an operation would restore her sight, and 1t is with the object of sending her Outside. where she can receive the attention of eve snecialists that Mrs. Thornton IS en- deavoring to create interest in tho child : case. She says that if the little one could be sent to the Seattle Orthopedlc hospital, for example, she would receive the atten, ton of the best specialists in Seattle and stand chance to have the priceless boon of vision restored.
 It is customary among the uncivihzed na- tiyes to abandon children afflicted with blindness and other disabilities and it was the relation of the case of such an aban- doned child who had been found by mlS- sonarv and had its sight restored through surgical skill that attracted Mrs Thornton's attention to the case in question. She has taken the matter up with the mission work CTS and has received some encouragement in her efforts for the little native girl.
 Blindness may be considered the greatest possible affliction that may assail the human race. Even among the whites, who have the advantage of humanitarian efforts in their behalf, a life of blindness is a hopeless prospect. With the natives there IS no gleam of hope Summed and abandoned by thelr fellows, ana Wltn no PuDllc hotltutloll open to them, the outlook for the little blind native girl is desperate. It is thought that the charitable people of this district, who have so often been called upon to assist far less meritorious cases, will be found will ing and anxious to give this poor little tot a helping hand and at least attempt to enlist surgical skill in her behalf
 Mrs. Thornton will discuss the case with others whose interest may be aroused, and may conclude to circulate a subscription paper to raise funds to send the little girl to Seattle It is hoped that this may be accomplished on one of the early boats.

ONE AMERICAN ADVANTAGE

The experience of young Sartoris, grand son of General Grant, in the French service has at last shown that in one respect Amerl- cans are better prepared for trench fighting thsa any of the European nations, They know how to throw.
 Having been a baseball pitcher in other days, Sartoris found he could hurl hand grenades into the German trenches with an accuracy which amazed the French and even the British.
 The art of throwing is an acquired one in Europe The French know nothing what ever about 1t, and the British little more. Cricket had taught them something. But the evidence indicated that even cricket had not developed the throwing art as well IS baseball.
 As far as this aspect of war is concerned the American baseball field appears pre- pared to make a war contribution almost equal to that once attributed to the foot, ball fields of Eton and Rugby Chicago Herald

All indications are that the breakup of the rivers of Interior Alaska will be later than usual this year, unless there should be great change in weather conditions. So far there is little indication of the impend- ing breakup, the ice in the Iditarod being almost as solid as in the winter months Last year the breakup of the Iditarod was the latest on record here.
