WEATHER DURING WEEK
 OF VARIABLE CHARACTER

This section of Alaska has been treated to a medley of weather conditions during the past week. Starting with a temperature as low as 63 degrees below zero on Saturday morning last, the thermometers on Thursday afternoon last showed as high as 32 degrees above zero, which may be considered as somewhat remarkable range The low temperatures of last week were followed on Saturday last by high winds, with rise of many degrees in the temperature The wind was from the north and was extremely cold and disagreeable. Sunday was milder, and many teamsters took advantage of the break to make the trip from the creek towns which were beginning to feel the effects of the long cessation of travel On Wednesday there was another change in temperature. During the night the thermometer registered 54 degrees below zero but in the morning severe southerly gale sprang up, which carried the temperature almost above the freezing point The gale increased in fury and ragged all night and all day Thursday. As far as could be learned no serious dam age was done by the storm.
 The following are the weeks tempera- lures, from readings taken daily by E. J. Smith, compared with the readings of the same dates year ago:

LOSES FAITHFUL ANIMAL

There Is scarcely person in the whole of the Innoko and Iditarod valleys who is not acquainted with Leo Clifford, the genial young man who for many moons, in winters snow and summers glow regu larly delivered The Iditarod Pioneer to its hundreds of readers along the creeks. Dur ing the past five years, in the sledding sea son., Leo was always accompanied on his rambles by his famous two-dog team, com posed of sturdy "Prince" the malamute leader, and the faithful Jack, arge-boned, of rangy architecture, red of complexion and of no particular breed or boast of an cestry. Over hundreds and hundreds of miles in this valley besides a couple of trips to Seward, these teammates cheer fully hiked with Leo, as he hung onto the handIebars of his light sled. They were willing animals, and their team work was all that could be expected of any two dogs, consequently they were much prlzed by their owner
 But alas and alack! on Thursday night last lack put an end to all future runs and journeys by jumping over the partition of his box-stal in George Adams kennel and straneling himself to death by the strlc- lures of the choke collar about his neck Leo found his dog yesterday morning in a suspended position, and although there were faint signs of life, he was unable to resus- ytate the faithful animal, and Jack" has gone where all good dogs go

KATALLA IS TERRORIZED
 BY SAVAGE TIMBER WOLVES

Driven north by the bounty hunters of Southeastern Alaska, large pack of tim Der wolves has put in its appearance at katalla, where they are making life dis agreeable for everybody concerned, accord ing to the Times of Cordova
 A number of bounty hunters has started out to try and clean up the band, but will probably only succeed in driving them off It Is feared that because of the heavy snowS the wolves will not attempt to cross the Coast range to the caribou country north of the Yukon, and on the Mackenzie river delta, but will continue northward elong the coast until they strike the domes tlcated reindeer herds on the kuskokwim and along the shores of Bering sea.
 If the wolves once get into the reindeer country the herders doubtless will suffer considerable loss The reindeer herds are valued at more than S2,O0O000 and few packs of the wolves would soon wipe them out.
 The wolves circled katalla not three blocks from the main street, and made the night hideous with their howls; they have footed every chicken house in the camp, and several dogs have been rounded up and killed by the invaders.
 Mrs. Charles Naughton, going to her woodple encountered big timber wolf in the yard, She drove the animal off with q club.
 The Indians say they have no traditions of visitation of this kind. They never have heard of such thing, and like the white people, who escort their children to school under arms, the natives are applying safety first principles. An Indian funeral was held at hatalla recently. The ceme- tery Is about q mile from town, and each of the large crowd of mourners who at tended carried either rifle or shotgun in thp DrocpSsinp

the Arctic ocean He also had supervi sion over the Aleutian islands. And in all his domain was 4.000 miles long from one end to the other.
 In 1898 many gold-seekers attempted to reach Dawson by going up the Yukon river from its mouth. his led them to St. Michael, where Marshal Vawter was sta toned Winter overlook many of them on the tral they camped wherever they hap pened to be when the river froze up.
 It was there. in the fall of 1898, that word came to the St. Michael office that 9 prospector had murdered his two partners. Marshal Vawter took dog team and started out for Anvik, near where the murder took place A man named Homer Bird was held by the citizens of trading post, fifteen miles away, charged with the crime. The citizens were determined to hang Bird if the marshal didn't show up within two weeks. The appearance of Deputy Marshal Vawter saved Birds life, temporarily at least. Bird escaped from the St. Michael Jail the morning he was to be taken to Sitka to stand trial With pocketknife he carved out piece of four-in flooring and fled toward the mainland
 Mrashal Vawter offered a reward of $500 for his capture, and had the meaning of the proclamation translated to the natives. The result was that within three days the Es- kim0s brought Bird back to St. Michael He was taken to Sitka, tried, convicted, re- tried, again convicted and finally hanged place in Alaska.
 In 1901, when Marshal Vawter was in Washington, when President Mckinley signed an order appointing him United States marshal at Nome, then in the hey day of opulence. The notorious Judge Moves gang was appointed at the same time, and their failure to influence Marshal Vawter in their favor during the days of thievery, crookedness and scandal at Nome forms one of the most stirring themes in Rex Beach's novel, "The Spoilers which was built up around the incidents of this period. In the novel Marshal Vawter is Vorhees. It was the testiomny of Marshal Vawter offered at the circuit court of appeals at San Fran cisco, that convicted Judge Moves, the prose cutting attorney and the special representa- tives of the department of justice, and sent them all to prison.
 In his trips to the Outside during the last seventeen years Marshal Vawter has brought out thirty-fve insane persons.
 In the spring of 1899, when Mir. Vawter was still at St. Michael, over l, 800 persons came down the Yukon, destitute They managed to make their way to Nome, where where the rich beach placers had just been discovered, and nearly every one of the l,500 made fortunes within few months
 Mir. Vawter Is now deputy United States marshal, stationed at Fort Gibbon, at the confluence of the Tanana and Yukon rivers. He has the distinction of having been in the service of the government in Alaska for a longer period than any other employe

 When the discovery of the klondike first drew the attention of the world to Alaska Mir. Nawter left Montana to take the office of deputy marshal under John M Shoup, marshal for the whole district of Alaska. Marshal Shoup's office was at Stka; Deputy Marshal Nawter was stationed at St. Michael

PREJUDICE.

Prejudice is an insidious thing. 1t
creeps into the soul unaware. 1t
leads us to say and do wrong things;
it warps our judgment and leads to
injustice, unkindness and even cruel
ty. 1t paves the way for hatred and
malice. In proportion as we learn
to clear our minds of prejudice we
become better men and women; we
win friends and dissolve enmities;
we are more worthy of respect and
confidence. No one wants to be
judged by false standards that preju-
dice sets up. Beware of judging
others in such light. Prejudice
cramps the mind and the heart; it
stands in the way of rightful growth
of character. 1t is wise to search
your heart and if you find prejudice
there to set about to root it out
wholly. Do not be sure you of all
men are unprecedented. That is the
danger; for prejudice is guarded by
vanity Seek to be just in all things,
small as we'll as great. In all the
relations of life, be sure you are not
judging another, not for his error but
from your prejudice. For the worst
thing about this weakness is that it
breeds injustice and unkindness and
malice. 1t hurts innocent folk and
makes no one happier.

HELEN'S NEST.

Helen was a dear little girl who
lived in the country. About her
house there were many fine trees,
where the birds came every year to
spend the summer. Now Helen loved
to watch the birds, butterflies and
bees during their work
Well, one day Mr. and Mrs. Oriole
came to look at the big elm tree.
They soon decided to build a nest
there, and each flew off in different
direction to find building material.
20 father" cried Helen, who had
caught the CLEAN of brilliant orange
and black, 'let's help them SO they'll
stay here
"All right, little girl" answered her
father
Helen had helped birds before by
putting bits of string and worsted
and straws on the ground and nearby
bushes.
Suddenly she clapped her hands, ex-
claiming, "Oh, I'm going to label this
nest, and then, after it's all built, it
will be mine!"
So she carefully wrote her name on
a tag Of paper putting a large piece
lof white string through the end Of

YOUR FATHER.

A boy or a man who has never
realized that his father has made
sacrifices, has given up many of his
own ambitions and toiled that his son
might have an easier road than he
has simply never understood his
father. Fathers make mistakes some
times. They forget that the hard road
was also good road that fitted boy
for mans job in the world. But
there is no questioning the deep,
abiding love that erred on the side
of wanting his son to have greater
pleasure and happiness than his
father has had There is a danger
that fathers are less demonstrative,
and it is less easy for a father to open
his heart to a boy than fora mother
But this only makes sacrifices greater!
1t only means that fathers will not
be understood and appreciated so well
as mothers. Men are willing to do
their part, though that part be never
fully understood.
We ought to say something about
fathers and daughters, too; for half
the human race is daughters. But
the natural instinct of women oftener
recognizes and appreciates the father
than the sterner judgment of men.
We are humble enough to think we
cannot suggest much to a good
daughter.
Finally, there is that great gift of
every real father to his children,
whether he be rich or poor, unknown
or famous-the heritage of an honest
name, the only heritage that a real
man or a real woman needs and is
cheated if he does not have.

dowed it with his private fortune, and,
in addition, left funds to support the
students attending it. Later he found
ed the college of San Juan de Letran.
The great University in the City OF
Mexico was the work of the arch
bishops; and the King, the Viceroy,
and the wealthy members of the COM
munity all contributed to make it IA
nous. AS Mexico City was the center
of the political, social and business
life of the country, it became also the
educational center, and, as conse-
quence, we find various religious
orders vying with each other in further
ing the educational work. The coming
of the Jesuits gave decided impulse
to higher education and they fastened
to establish colleges throughout the
country, a number of which were in
the City of Mexico When the Jesuits
they numbered five hundred and
were driven out of the country in 1767,
twenty-eight clergymen, and it may be
said, without exaggeration, that then
and there education in Mexico receiv
ed blow from which it never fully
recovered.
The Spanish immigrants were just
as DESTROYS that their children be
educated as were the English colonists
to the North, and, like them, great
deal of the primary instruction was
given in the home or by private in
structors.
The requirements for admission to
the numerous colleges were not rigor
Gus and primary education embraced
little more than the three RS.
In all this we see a constant and
consistent effort to educate the people,
and it is standing refutation of the
charges that the Church in Mexico
endeavored in the slightest degree to
hamper the spread of knowledge. On
the contrary, history proves that the
Church authorities accomplished re-
markable results in the education of
the people considering the resources
at their command.

once offered prize to the demon
of damning mems souls. One pro-
posed that the satanic legions should
admit the wisdom and the glory of
righteousness, but should concentrate
their powers on persuading men to
put off the day when they should be-
gin to practice righteousness. Satan
is said to have awarded his prize to
that suggestion.
There is no question" continued
the doctor, that the greatest enemy
to goodness in the world is procras-
tination. Every man that lives means
some day to lead good life. You
have seen that little placard on Office
walls, DO 1t Now!' 1t ought to be
before our eyes wherever we go. 1t
ought to be written in our minds.
Just as soon as we discern the right
thing to be done we ought to set
about doing it without delay. If we
delay today, it's twice as easy to de-
lay again tomorrow. Get the habit.
John, in small things. If the grass
ought to be cut now, then require of
yourself that you cut it now. If your
Latin ought to be prepared now,
then don't risk the chance of getting
the procrastinating habit by putting
1T off to another time. | don't urge
you to plunge into things without
thinking. Take all the time you need
to come to your conclusions. But
when your judgment tells you a
thing surely ought to be done. get
at it at the first possible moment.
Do it now"
John started for the door. THAT
grass ought to be cut. that's sure"
he said, "and I'm going to do it now.

WHAT ARE YOU WORTH?

Have you any idea? Did you ever
capitalize your wages, and figure it
out? This is the way to ascertain
how much your labor is really worth,
says Leslie's.
For instance, a man, who has saved
receives an annual income of $1,000
year, or about $40 a week
The clerk in the office or the work
ingman in the factory, who gets 500
a week, therefore receives the income
at 5 per cent on an investment of
$4,000.
He is a $4,000 man-that is, he is
getting as much, week by week, as
the man with $4,000, who depends
solely upon the income from his in
vestments, and who does not work for
a living,
The man, who earns $40 a week
has about the same income as the in
weston with $4,000, put out at inter-
est at per cent.
All labor is capital. 1t is a market
value 1t can be called commodity
because it can be sold by it's owner
the same as any other possession he
may have.
These are simple facts. The dema-
gogue, who breaches unreason and
unrest, and who sows the seed of dis
content and unhappiness among the
working masses of the country
should now and then be reminded of
them
What is he worth to you?
