some of the earliest settlers OF the
Birch creek valley that in a crevict
adjacent to these writings a cache
was found which contained hund
reds of arrow-heads, showing thai

not been finished or settled and this

pile which denoted disarmament be-
tween the two warning tribes.
The War was Over Game.
! There is so much game depicted in
these pictures, especially where ref
erence to any historical part is to be
conveyed, we are lead to believe the
war to have been fought over the
game of the country. Figs. 8, 4, 5, 6,
lis, Is and Is detail different kinds
of game. Around each particular
animal or bird are many dots and
strokes which are counters and rep

which the tribe claiming it have
been robbed by their antagonist and
especially at certain counters Gigs.
IL and 20) is recorded the numer-
GUS losses which they have suffered.
A Warming Signal.
Fig. 8 is an inverted picture and
in Indian writing invariably express
ses a warning sign and means, take
notice" or behold" The cliff of
rocks on which these photographs are
painted faces the old Indian trial
that extended up and down the
creek and could be easily observed
by passing Indians. Therefore, this
warning sign called attention of
passers-by to what had occurred
here, it's cause, the victors and what
would happen to the defeated party
should they again attempt to en-
croach upon the game lands of the
victors; for it meant death to the
tribe warred against to come back
or be found in this vicinity. The |
warning sign is made with a gam
head which is another bit of evil
dence that the trouble between the
tribes was over the game.
A Warriors Costume"
To the public an Indian looks fine
fitted out in his war bonnet and 9TH
err flashy paraphernalia, but such
vestments are for ceremonial pur-
poses only When an Indian goes In

blood in his eye" as we would say,

cion. When they came together they
used certain signs and symbols with
the hands which showed either
friendliness or hostility. II friendly

to show that no weapons we're con-
cealed therein. An extended hand

the basis of all our methods of sa :

salutes, etc. On the contrary an up

In order to translate these writ
should be done on the spot and II
the presence of the photographs, but
as we are unable to have this view
l will endeavor to explain them from
some snap shots which l kodaked
and will use for illustrations. But
these Illustrations do not depict the
richness, color, form and detail as
does the original graphs; besides,
the kodak pictures were not taken
under circumstances where the best
results could be obtained and no pre-
paration or time was given for max
ing a good illustration. No idea of
publishing such material was enter
tanned at the time. In this article
/ can only give the gist or idea con-
tanned in the pictures; scrutiny of
the photographs themselves will have
to be made to work out all the de-
tails which they contain. I have
numbered the illustrations for pur-
poses of explanation.
Indians Method of Picture Wording
The primitive manner of Indian
writing was by the use of pictures to
represent the objects of thought, as
a bear or the sun. This next develop
ed into method whereby the picture
stood for an idea as a bear for cour-
age or the sun for light, which meth
cd is known as the telegraph. AS
all Indians converse by signs they
came to make symbols to depict
these signs a method called picto-
graph where the writings, as In this
case, is a mixture of both pictures
and symbols. These hieroglyphics
are painted on rocks with red pig
ment made of colored earths mixed
with bear oil and soft pitch from the
fir tree. This mixture adheres very
tenaciously, becomes hard and glaz-
ed and will oftimes hold its freshness
of color for hundreds and even
thousands of years. At times the !
writing is carved on the rock In
which case it is called petroglyph. |
A War Record

time that an arrow or any part OF
this weapon is displayed In Indian
writing, council or embassy 1t means
some kind of war; some manner of

ignates the illustration war picture.
In other illustrations which will be
greater number of ar

arrows have always been the fight
ing weapons of Indians. In their
legends they relate that the very hrst
thing their creator taught them was
how to use the bow and arrow. At
times other weapons were used and

conflict. that every available imple- ]

Slemp, after the con- ference with Coolidge issued a state ment before leaving the convention for Cincinnati saying: "He expected to retain the secretaryship and also narticipate in the real management of the coming campaign"

Alaska Railroad holds thrills of every sort for the visitor. In fact they state, the only thing Fairbanks lacks at the present time, is a submarine.
 Hundreds of miles of fine highways lead out of Fairbanks to the outmost points of the fringe of civilization. bringing one truly into primitive land, but a few hours distant from the modern. Should the tourist wish to take fishing or hunting trip ar engagements can be made with the company to stop over at one of their camps where guides can be secured and trek into the hills made from, and at at nominal sum. One will cer- tainly be able to sleep on a real spruce bough bed, if they so desire.
 Every turn of the road on the Richardson Highway, is fresh sur prise, at all seasons of the year. The hardened traveller over this road, never ceases in extolling the merits of the three day auto journey thru Alaska to the coast.
 The Alaska-Jewitt Company natur- ally maintains it's main office at Fair banks, and the new arrival to that city is requested to call at their office for any information relative to the country in general. In all the world, they conclude, there is no place like Fairbanks.

New Automobile Co.
 Organized in Fairbanks

A half dozen young and progressive chaps of Fairbanks have recently or ganized a taxi company and in a few days will start their initial trip of automobiles oevr the Richardson Highway. The Alaska-Jewitt Trans portation Co.,, by which the firm is known, has as it's head MT. Rivers, former city clerk of the Interior city and one of the best known young men in the Territory. The company plans a regular scheduled trip over the highway to Valdez, which port on Prince William Sound, will be their southern terminus.
 MT. Rivers in a recent statement to the Seward Gateway, said that the Valdez Chamber of Commerce had en- dorsed his company and were lending every aid to make the trips success.
 The owners of the company all own new levitt autos, splendid five passenger, six-cylinder touring cars, and are leach and everyone, experi- enced auto drivers, which will tend to lend much to the comfort of the tourists who take the trip. In addi- tion to this, it is stated they are all Alaskans and as such are in a posi- tion to discourse with accuracy on points of interest, either along the highway trip or in other parts of the Territory, which should be a great asset, in the form of publicity to the Territory.
 That the firm is enterprising and full of keen zest to make the trip to the tourist, full of interest, IS set forth in the following facts. One of the inovations to be introduced by them will be the opportunity afforded the tourist to visit one of their placer claims and actually pan gold them selves. They will be permitted to keep whatever gold they pan and it is a foregone conclusion that every tourist who rides on these levitt cars, will avail themselves of the chance to go gold hunting. What stories they will have to tell their many friends upon their return to their homes in the states.
 In the company's literature which they are sending throughout the U. S., they tell in simple and sincere manner what the tourist who takes this trip with them, to the many creeks and points of interest adjacent to Fairbanks and the highway trip, will see.

PEAK OF JAPANESE
 AGITATION IS PAST
 SAY FOREIGN EXPERTS
JAPANESE WILL BOYCOTT ALL AMERICAN GOODS AND
 LUXURIES

TOXIC, June 17-The belief that the peak of the agitation in Japan, against the enactment of an immigra- tion law, barring Japanese, has pass ed, was expressed in well-informed circles here yesterday. The activities of the agitation, it was agreed can not continue for more than two or three weeks, but regardless of the forecast, however, efforts to extend the Japanese boycott against things American could be observed today.
 Delegations of members of the Great Forward Society, the organiza- tion which arranged Saturday nights demonstrations at the Imperial Hotel, visited the larger department stores, trying to persuade the stores not to sell American merchandise; and hand bills were scattered throughout the city, urging the people to boycott all luxuries as we'll as American goods and to show their patriotism by do- ing so.
 Police officials took occasion to de- ny the previous reports that they had had advance warning of the dem onstration a week ago Saturday, in which members of the Great For ward Society and other agitators, broke up a dance at the Imperial Ho- tel with bitter anti-American speech ed made from the center of the dance floor. The police insisted that they were doing everything in their power to protect Americans from injury and insult. Responsible Japanese spokes- men also unanimously regretted the incident.

 The light cruiser Tama, $500 tons, developed engine trouble recently during her trials, it is understood, and few days previously the smaller cruiser Yubare showed similar de- fleets in her trials.
