TOTEMS

The November issue of the Vers- tovian, issued monthly by the stu- dents of the Sheldon Jackson Indian Training School at Sitka, has tn, following to say regarding totems:
 'One of the finest and tallest to- tenn poles in existence is in the Sit ka National Monument Park ad- jacent tothe Sheldon Jackson School campus. Carved by Haida artisans and originally erected in the villag, of Kasaan it was procured for the Worlds Fair at St. Louis in 1904 and removed to that city as a part of the Alaska exhibit. At the clos of the fair, through the efforts of Governor Brady, it was sent to Sitka to be erected and permanently pre- served in the public park, alon; with other totems of similar origin The illustration herewith pictures this interesting old relic.
 ''The totem pole, which is but one expression of the totemic sys- tenn, is now thing of the past in Alaska. Aside from the diminutivt and inferior specimens prepared for tourist trade, totem poles are nc longer made and the totem carver man of ability and distinction ir former times, has vanished along with his outgrown social conception The passing of the totem pole and of the totemic system in general carries with it the disappearance of real art and brings a feeling of re- gret even to those who have been most instrumental in supplantine old superstitions with modern truth
 lOlcH pOltS were O1 lOuI cipal classes: genealogical, histori- cal, legendary and mortuary. In as much as the natives of Alaska be- lieved that men were once animals the principal characteristic of the totem pole is it's animal figures From the construction or design of the totem pole native people were able at glance to distinguish the clan of the communal house in from of which it stood and to determine whether or not welcome awaited within. These carvings were not worshipped as idols nor intended to represent deity. They were highly honored and revered because vitall! associated, in the minds of the Ma tives, with questions of origin, the supernatural, and the proper respect due to the great heroes of the past" :"

between the Alaska railroad and the Alaska Steamship Company were partly mistatement and partly a deliberate falsehood" and that Mir. Wheeler had probably misunderstood John F. Ballaine. He said that the agreement cited was that by which tin ore is shipped from Mayo down the Yu- kon river to Panama and taken by tugs to the railroad at Ne mana where it is transferred to ore cars and hauled by the gov ernment railroad to Seward or Anchorage, where it is again loaded onto the company's steam CTS. Formerly the ore was ship ped down the Yukon to St. Mich aels. where the transfer was made directly to the southbound steam CTS. but it was found that this means was great deal more ex- pensive than shipping by railroad at special train prices.
