NATIVE BROTHERHOOD
 PLEDGES SUPPORT ID LAW

A resolution recently passed by the Alaska Native Brotherhood of Sftka has some interesting facts back of it for the many white residents of the territory who are generally fairly ig norant of native fife and customs.
 The resolution pledges the help of the Brotherhood in aiding the proper officials to enforce, the federal and territorial laws governing the distri- button 0f property Of deceased Alaska Indians.
 Tribal custom conflicts decidedly with the law in this respect. Never theless, among many ndians in Alas ka the ancient law s heeded In obedience ro it, when an Indian iB left a widower, his late wife's people come and take away everything which is left, furniture, clothing money. and even the children, for Indian law is matriarchaI and regards the children as the property of the mother and not
 
 left penniless and alone
 The family then provides burial for the dead member, expending much money to do her honor.
 In the same way, wheH a native man dies, his people take from the widow everything that he left. They then : give the deceased a sumptuous fun eraI and are supposed to provide for , the lOrn widow second husband, who will bring her at least as much of this worlds goods as they took from her. ! She is, in fact, supposed to marry a near relative of her late bus band. This 1 part of the custom has been largely abandoned of late years, but the reso- Iution, signed by Ralph Young, presi dent of the Brotherhood, is evidence that the other portion of the old law is still observed.
 In the local native village, exam pIes of it's action have been noted Religious teachers are doing their best to get the natives to safeguard the rights of their matrimonial partners by making legal wills, according t' the white mans law.
 Memorial Framed A memorial from the same organ ization prays that proper officials b' instructed to enforce the laws relative to illegal cohabitation, in an effor to protect the native women from tn, infamous purposes of men of all race lin the territory.

.ALASKA'S HOT SPRINGS
 INVESTIGATED BY SURVEY

Hot springs are widely distributed in Alaska, many of them yielding
 water that is near the boiling point
 and remaining unfrozen the year round, says Gerald A. Waring of the United States Geological Survey in a report he has just made to the gov ernment. During the Russian occu patton of the territory primitive bath
 ing houses were built at several of the springs, notably near Sitka, and the
 hygtenic value of the springs was rec ognized. In recent years more elabo- rate bathing establishments have been constructed at several accessible hot springs, but some that are more diff- cult of access are occasionally visited
 by prOspectors. The demand for more information about the qualities of the
 thermal waters led to an investiga- tion.
 To obtain material for the report
 MT. Waring spent the field season
 of 1915 in Alaska. He examined twen-
 ty-three springs and obtained notes on
 thirty-seYen others whose existence
 was not known before to the survey.
 Among the springs described by Mir.
 Waring are a number that yield car
 bonated water and others whose water
 is strongly stipulated or salty More
 hot springs have been found in South eastern Alaska than in the Interior. perhaps because the southeastern part of the territory is the best known, and relatively few have been found in Northern Alaska. Nevertheless. the report describes hot springs at twenty one places in the Yukon basin and at five on Seward peninsula. The report is illustrated by sketch maps, which show the location of many of the springs
 The quality of the spring Waters was determined by analyzing samples collected by MT. Waring, and this is discussed in connection with the man. ner of occurrence and source.
 The report contains also a brief chapter on the chemical character of some of the waters by Richard B. 1 Dole and Alfred A. Chambers, who nave brought together all the avail. lble analyses. Most of the analyses samples collected by explor- ng parties in 1914 and 1915. The dis 'ussion of the quality of the waters of he Yukon is based on samples col. ected daily at Anvik from August 23, 1915, to April 19, 1916, and from June A to August 16, 1916. Analyses of hese samples will form part of a spe-s ] 'ial report on the quality of the sur ace waters of Alaska.

"THE OTHER MAN" WILL BE SEEN
 AT PALACE THEATRE.

The attraction at the Palace to- night and tomorrow matinee Is the story of a great love found at the end of "a trail of sorrow" entitled "The Other Man."
 The world suddenly went dark for pr. John Stcdman when his friv- olous butterfly wife took the step that forever destroyed his confidence in her. And from a famous sur gcon, wealthy, with liveried ser wants at his command, he became, in surprisingly short space of time, q pcnniless outcast, laughed at even in tho slums of great city. For the trip down the toboggan was made rapid by drink and despair. It had taken him years to reach the dignificd position of pr. John Sted- man. It took him but a few few weeks to hit the lowest level of so- ciety as Martin West"
 And then, treading the shadowy path of sorrow and humiliation. Martin West" came out into the highway illuminated by the radiant glow of q pure, unselflsh love. To tell this strange story of adventure that befell Martin West" would be to spoil it---to dull its powerful and unexpected climax. But every hu- man emotion finds full play in the unraveling of this far from-ordinary photoplay

Description of Display Con- talned in indian CoIIec- ton at University of
 Washington.

SEATTLE. Wash. Oct. 26.-Gamb- ing sticks. rounded, smooth and num- bcrod ir neat little figures, sha- { mans ceremonial rattlers. carved in Slotesque figures and painted gaudily ir red and yellow are among the 1hlinket milan collection in the Uni Sersity of Washington Museum. This eNhibit hts heen improved steadily since it's installatio a few years ago and now it is said to be unsur- passed. .- .,
 The collection shows the notable use made by the Thlinkets of totem ic' characters in decoration of their homes, grave posts and even of the clothing and tools. Instances are mastodon ivory clubs used for killing salmon after the fish had been caught on bone hooks. The finely colored club heads have been carved to represent the bear, whale. shark and heaven. all tomeic symbols.
 It was the Thlinket, the Haida and Tsinshian tribes of Southern Alaska who originated the use of animals for designs in decoration, 1t Is said, and from the use of animals has come the use or symbols. and finally the adaptation of the animal figures to tho srace tU be filled. The style of thG Indian decorators in all in- stances shows nice sense of bal 'nce. The lines are never regular, the surves are crowded" in a pe- c'lliarly forced manner.
 TO tEo carved figures color usu- ally Is added. Several totem poles in the collection are gay and bright figures. and tho totemic designs ap. Dlied 10 blankets, hats. treasure box es and ceremonial robes are colored in brilliant tones. The minerals used for the colors are ground up in small stone dishes, mixed with water and salmon spawn and applied with small wooden paddles. Stiff brushes Of porcupine quill also are used
 Basket wcr'- of the Thlinket h. dians i' remarkably firm and pliant. Few of the weayes are thought un. worthy of decoration, and nearly all the buff and brown baskets have ornaments of geometrical design. To- temic figures used to decorate the conical hats are varied cleverly to suit ffe shapes of the headgear.

THEA IRE ATTRA TONS General New. of Local Theatres, Scfeen Star.
 and Features

|riod of two months Miss Tal- madge's characterization of the Mountain Girl is generally conceded to be one of the pronounced hits of Mir. Griffth,s mammoth production.
 That it was necessary for her to drive chariot at break-neck speed in advance of the hords of Cyrus, in the vain but heroic attempt to save the man she loves, BclshaZzar, and the wonderful city of Babylon from destruction at the hands of the PerSianS, rendered it most essen tial that she master the charioteer's art.
 Miss Talmadge, who is a vcritablc daredevil, as well as an all around athlete, a powerful swimmer and an accomplished horse-woman, declared she would prove a proficient char >ioteer within two months. Two professional charioteers were i'm mediately engaged and Miss Tal- madge went at her task with great enthusiasm, practicing at every available moment with the unheard- of result that at the end of her sclf-appointed time, she was driving a two-horsc chariot with the same daring skill and speed of the pro- fessiOnal chariotecrs. When 1t is considered that it requires years of experience and application for some of the most experienced horscmen to learn to drive chariot. it will be realized. that Miss Talmadge's feat is nothing short of marvellous.

The | other was presented to her hy Bert | Reiss, the well-known psychologist 1 and it dates back two hundred years, being the product of an ital- ian carver.
 Now Miss Pearson never acts be- fore the camera unless she is wear ing these brooches.

 "I believe there are thought forces connected with those brooch cs. They have in them the directing forces that are guided by past generations in whose possession these brooches wCrc."
 It matters not to Miss Pearson that she be in good clothes or bad. in rags or riches, she keeps these brooches about her person. Evi- dcntly she has never lost them dur ing the making of picture be cause do you remember her photoplays? All excellent. All sat

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS ABOUT DELEGATE
 SULZER

Suppose Sulzer had been Delegate when the Democrat ic Alexander bill was intro duccd, instead of Wickersham. what would be the result? It is possible MT. SulZer, who is a harmony" candidate would have fought tho admin. istration bill? Hardly."-Ju- neau Dispatch, October r, 1916. .a 2.
 The Dispatch put a problem SefOre the people of Alaska, thinking that situation never would arise. MT. Sulzcr was elected Delegate from Alaska, took his seat and was looking after the interests of the Ter ritory when the Alexander Fisheries bill came up. What was the result? Did Mir. Sul. ger fight it? He did. not with buster or an -"extension in the Record speech" but by going to Congressman Alex ander, showing him that the people of Alaska were op- posed to it and that it was not to the best interests of the country. The result of these arguments by MT. Sul. ger was that Mir. Alexander virtually withdrew his bill and gave way for the bill intro. duced by the Delegate from Alaska.
 That's the answer to the Dispatch question.
