The coun- try in places was literally teeming with geese and ducks and we had no trouble in supplying our wants in that line. From Ross river we came down about fifty miles in a canoe, and there had to continue our journey on raft to Fishhooks, a distance of forty-five miles.

INDIAN MASKS AND DW00DHATS
 FORM DISPLAY

A rare collection of war masks of early Indian days in Alaska and of hand carved wooden hats, all de- noting certain importance, is on dis play in a show window in Juneau. The entire display was recently pur- chased by Dr. Simpson of Klawock and by delving into the meaning of the hats, especially, certain signifi- canoe is brought out, which if un- dertaken by today's later genera tions, much individual trouble would be prevented.
 The war masks and the hats were carved from huge blocks of wood then painted in the fantastic but meaning colors of certain birds or animals.
 The hats and war masks are those formerly belonging to the Hyda In- dians who were, in past years, the slaves of the Thlinkets.
 One hat, small crown but with the long bill of bird, is called the trouble makers" hat. When a na- tive was found to have been causing trouble, he was apprehended, taken before the chief of the tribe and sentenced to wear the hat for two or three days and subjected to the of x,rl~ %, upon him that he must keep a tight mouth and not spread scandal.
 There is the "peace makers" bon net, represented by a bird The peace maker was one who acted as sort of a mediator between two parties to bring about a settlement The wearer of this hat was usually accorded much courtesy. The desig- mated bird was chosen because it was supposed to fly far out to sea and thus keep away from trouble, but would act in defense if any of the bird tribe was attacked
 The "potlach hat" representing a bear, was used by a native when giving potlach. The native believed that the bear first taught man what to eat and how to live from the land. The bear was believed to eat only that which gave strength to the body and nothing that was harmful. When a native had lived like the bear, he thrived and was able to bestow gifts upon favored ones.
 One hat, to which was attached much significance, was the quit ter's' hat This hat was worn by a native when he found himself against stronger party than him. self. Instead of fighting and get ting whipped, the native would go to the chief of the tribe and ask for the "quitter's" hat and he would then not be dumped by his stronger opponent.
 The war masks are of different kinds and were used to frighten the enemy
 One interesting article in the win dow which is of commercial inn portance, is q halibut hook, primi- tive in construction but there" just the same. The contrivance is hand
 
 carved, but this does not detract from it's usefulness. The spike used as a hook, is heldged in such position that the fish will swallow it readily, and when the hook seems caught, the trip line violently moves and the fisherman is signaled, The fisherman pulls another string and the fish hook closes, firmly grasping that within it's grasp. Herring was used in the old days to bait the hook the same as now.
 On display in the window is also a seven foot raven totem which has it's own special relation to tribal lore.

Cost of Government
in Mexico IS Reduced
(RY Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 12-The cost
of the government of Mexico was re-
cuced by 60,000,000 pesos during the
first six months of the provisional adj
ministration of President Adolfo de la
Huuerta, according to data furnished
to representatives of the American
Chamber of Commerce at a recent con-
ference with the President. (Nominal-
ly peso is worth so cents)
1t was declared that this amount is
TO be added to a fund which is ac-
cumulating to be applied to payment
on the national debt.
The president explained that one
economy contemplated by the govern
ment would necessitate an immediate
large outlay of money. This was the
reduction of the federal army to half
its original size, together with the pro-
vision which is being made to establish
agricultural colonies for ex-soldiers. 1t
was explained that although the initial
expense might be large, it was believed
that after the first year the soldiers
would be producers and would add to
the national income rather than take
from it.

Five Minutes avith Our Presidents
ey JAMES MORGAN

AS he stood at the clerks desk in
the hall Of the House OF Represent
atives on the evening OF April 2, 1917,
President Wilson was the central
figure in one of the great moments OF
world history. Not only his own
people but mankind stopped to listen.
The President had been reelected
only five months before because "he
kept us out OF war Alas, the war
would not keep out of the United
States.
For two years and a half the Presi-
dent and people together had contin-
ued to draw back from the yawning
inferno into which events were push
ing them. AS lately as June, 1916.
both political parties in their National
conventions, agreed on one thing and
one thing only: Each squarely declar-
ed itself in favor of neutrality.
Nevertheless the President himself
publicly admitted a few days before
his reelection that neutrality is
played out" AS the one remaining
means of keeping us out of war, he
tried to stop the war in December and
again in January by appealing to the
belligerents to make peace. His voice
was drowned in the roar of the
guns.
The war took on new fury, with the
resumption of ruthless summarizing,
which Germany had modified the year
! before at our demand. The President
thereupon handed the German Am
bassador his passports, and next he
proposed that we should arm our
merchant ships. The filibustering
Senate, falling to give him this au-
thority, he proceeded himself to arm
them. But our shipping vanished
from the sea, with its hidden terror.
and at last he called the newly elected
Congress in extraordinary session to

ready to receive this history making

No other President in the whole
course of his service has had to take
so many momentous decisions as
Woodrow Wilson has had to make in
the solitude of his study at the White
House in those anxious days before
the assembling of Congress. He could
not divide the burden of such a heavy
responsibility; he had to bear it alone
and without a precedent to guide
him.
The course seemed plain enough.

Should we give a further trial to

should we join forces with them I'M

policy of America to go it alone?
