FROM THE KUSK0KWIM

Frank Cooper arrived at Discovery from Nixon Fork last Wednesday. He reports that Smiling Albert' has found pay that goes S6 to the foot. and Whelan's ground on No. 6 Pup, )
 tributary of Hidden creeK, went Sl 40 to the foot. Cooper says there is no grub in the country, and many have been forced to leave on that account.
 Mir. Cooper also reports that Mail Carriers Nichols and Martella arrived
 at McGrath on May 20 with batch of
 second-class mail, after a hazardous
 trip. They had travelled without eat ing for three days, had not fed their
 dogs for five days, and had five of the
 animals drowned For long stretches they were compelled to wade in water to their waists. A few days later
 "White Dog Smith arrived at Me Grath, who stated that he could not come with the mail, but had left 800 pounds of first-class matter at Roan river. Smith sent two men to that place with equipment 10 bulli boat
 and bring the consignment by water. The mail is not expected at Takotna before June 20.

plums of the territory between bimselt and Judge Wickersham. Stewart, of Valdez, who affdavited to Strong $ Canadianisln. has known the fact for d generation of years, having read one oi Strong's letters from his wife more than 20 years ago, in which the wife stated that she and the children were destitute and asked for help which Strong didn't send Others who afti- davited knew the same thing and kept still about it. The only man who tion the minute it reached him was Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the Interior. He was friend of Strong, and Strong worked for Lane & Roed- iger in Tacoma on the Tacoma News. Lane secured the appointment of Strong and upheld him. When the charges were filed against Strong Lane wouldn't believe them, but he sent a special agent of his to Canada dLo vel lllSU IllC Cual SCSj " iiSl upOIl he immediately saw to it that Tom Riggs name went to the Senate for confirmation as Strong's successor. The committee on confirmation was for Strong, but when the proof that he is an alien was laid before them they hastened to get from under and con- frmed Riggs appointment. Had Strong been willing to "ride." without attempting to ''drive" all the time he might have remained governor of Alaska for four more years-am bition killed him.
 The trouble is all over now. Strong
 is going into seclusion and Alarka still lives. About all the harm that seems to have been done in the matter was suffered by Strong. He may have and undoubtedly did make appointments which were not for the good of the party if even for the good of Alaska, but that is matter which can be cor rected in day. In the North Strong played the part of meek and lowly country editor, and the Northerners, appreciating the rare quality of meek ness and lowliness in a Northernera made him ruler over many and exalted him hugely. Strong's sudden elevation affected his head. as the ascent tc higher planes will affect ones head al times. Being elevated he sought te soar, but his ''stabilizer' wasn't work ing and the (hidden) tail of his kite upset his apple cart.

 Strong's sin was that he didn't pro tect his rear when he started fighting upwards.

Last Saturday between 1913 and :23 past meridian the partial eclipse of the sun was observed by many of our citi- zens.

One al- ways-conservative resident of Iditarcd gave a sigh of relief as the last particle of shadow passed from the suns surface, and expressed hls humble satisfaction that the "whole affair passed of so or derly and quietlke.'
