TYLER TO HAVE MONUMENT
Appropriation by Congress Of $4,000
for the Purpose viii Meet With
Satisfaction.

Secretary Garrison OF the war de.
partment has been charged with the
execution of the act of congress ap.
proprlating $4,000 for a monument
to the memory of John Tyler, former
president of the United States. This
memorial to one OF the chief magis-
trates Of the nation is to be erected
over his grave In Hollywood cemetery
In Richmond, Va. II Is a modest ap7
preparation for such purpose, but II
is proper and fitting that 1t should be
made, even at this late day. Tyler
was the least known, probably. OF our
presidents and his chief title to fame
came from the fact that he was the
vice-presidential candidate with VIII
liam Harrison. The battle cry OF Tip
pecanoe and Tyler, Too" has come
rolling down the generations since
both men made their famous fight.
Tyler was greatly respected in Vir-
ginia and had deserved reputation
for his high sense of honor. He came
into the presidency through the early
and unexpected death OF Gen. Harri-
son. He was at his home when he
learned that he had become president
through the death OF the incumbent,
and II Is related that he was 30 poor
that he had to borrow the money with
which to get to Washington. This is
a reminder of the fact that the United
States has been singularly fortunate
I'm the personal characters Of the men
that have ruled It since the founda-
ton OF the government. They have
differed In many ways Some have
been great men and others have had
only a fair degree Of brilliance, but
all, without exception, have been
noted for their integrity OF purpose.
Tyler does not loom so high In Amert
can history as some OF the other Viz
ginians who reached the presidency,
but in any event It was highly appro-
pirate that congress should properly
mark his last resting place.

AMOS SLOWLY DYING OUT
Comparatively Few Remain Of HE.
torIo Race Of Aborlulnes 81
Northern Japan.

Investigators call attention to the
fact that the historic race of the
Amos, the aboriglnes OF northern
Japan, is slowly dying out. 1t Is es.
timated that these residents Of Hok.
kaido, the most northerly Of the great
islands making up the japanese en-
pire, are now no more than 10000.
The Amos, a dark, picturesque ap.
pearing people, live In groups of twBn-
ty to forty houses In scattered dis
trfcts on the island. In spite Of cease
less efforts on the part Of the central
government and each prefectural gov
eminent In their behalf, which give
them allotted portions Of land. provide
them with habltatlons, give them in
structions In farming and furnish
them with necessary education. they
nevertheless show no sign Of benefiting
from the care taken Of them.
japanese writer's term them an indo-
lent, improvldent race aud declare that
both men and women are addicted to
drinking and appear to regard any
thing done for their benet1t As q nuis-
ance.
The male Amos pass thear time IN
hunting and fishing. The women are
described as more Industrious. Bear
hunting IL the great occupation Of the
men, but the bears, like the Amos
themselves, are becoming fewer. The
men have dark hair and long, thick
boards. Hair Is sacred to them. Their
faces are usually tattooed.
The "bear festival" as It is called,
consists Of the Offering Of a slaugh-
tered young bear as sacrifice to the
gods. The animal is nurtured for
about five years for this specific pur-
pose. On the occasion Of the sacrifice
the men and women Join In grand ban
quets and merrymaking. Tho Amos,
like many other primitive people, wOr-
shin the sun.

MORE ACTION EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, D. c., April o.
1t is the opinion of the American
war department that the Germans
have not abandoned their attempt
to reach the channel ports. The
weekly review issued by the depart
ment says that Notwithstanding the
fact that the present big drive has
been barren of results, the Allies
must look for the Teutons to under
take further and even more power
full operations. The German attack
on the northern salient is not re-
garded as the final or as the most
powerful thrust of which the enemy
is capable.

New Governor Says Soldiers Will
Try Luck In Alaska After
the War Is Over.

SEATTLE, April Ex-Governor
Thos. Riggs, Jr. arrived in this city
yesterday on his way to juneau, to
take up his new duties.
In speaking of the outlook for
Alaska, Governor Riggs expressed
the belief that the return of peace
would be followed by heavy travel
northward. Many returned soldiers
craving adventure, he said, would
locate permanently in Alaska, the
only remaining frontier of the United
States.
The governor will be the guest
of the Alaska bureau, of the Seattle
Commercial club and Chamber of
Commerce, at a luncheon scheduled
for tomorrow. He will leave for
Juneau on Friday.
