CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan.
1.-THE clans have been
gathering all day and the
last contingent will arrive
tomorrow morning in time
for the roll call and the adj
dress from the throne. There are
always a lot OF early birds on an
occasion like this who, fearful OF
~-nissing something arrive on the
scene so long before. they grow
lonesome waiting for actual happen
ings.
These are the official greeters.
They would not miss extending the
glad hand and calling you old tim
err for worlds. They are for the
most part. former members. or
members OF what has come to be
SHOWN as the third house" Then
there are others who arrive early.
They are Interested in measures that
will be introduced from time to
time. They world resent being call
ed lobbyists" but no matter. that's
what they are. and that's the name
they will go by.
still another contingent Of early
arriyers Is the job hunters. They
are quite numerous. and quite ac-
tive. Since no legislature can be
successful without clerks. messen-
gers. and other help to conduct the
business, they are welcome.
All day today. hotel lobbies have
been the center of interest. While
parlors. consultation rooms. sleep
rooms and any other convenient
places about the hotels have been
used for conferences IN matters
respecting tomorrow's organization
OF the senate and house OF repre-
~sentatives.
The %speakership seems to have
largely settled itself, provided the
members Of the lower house hold
10 the view they have today. Al
most every member has declared for
T.. C.. Underwood. of Underwood.
There can only be n u Tor a
change and that is the selection OF
n presiding officer of the senate
from Mr.. U~nderwood's immediate
vicinity before the house takes the
action It contemplates. Even at that.
so strong and popular IS the Under
wood feeling thai the old rule Of Sc
lecting the presiding officers from
widely separated portions OF the
state may be di~sregarded.
In the running for president of
the senate, at least in the hotel lob
hies. are Senator's Brown of Sweet
water county. Horton of Johnson
county and Free Of Natrona county.
All are excellent guesses. If I'm
derwood succeeds promptly In the
house. Browns chances are lessen
cd. and then the choice in the sen
ate will be either Horton or Free.
Each have their strong points and
their devoted hackers and It VIII be
~ most friendly contest.

When Walter Yeaser went to his
death on the scaffold in San Quentin

there was a mutual exchange of

passion or regret.

comes very annoying, but the remedy is not the closing of the public school, and as long as the Territory is paying you salary for which you are willing to work, and main taining your office with help of your own choosing, and paying your ex- penses to travel about the Territory with suitable per diem for susten- ance, it is your duty to apply your self to the solution of the problem at Kasaan.
 It is we'll known that you have steadily opposed the education of children of Indian blood in our public schools. But in this case the children are all of the Indian race, and still your announced purpose is to close this Territorial School for which the Indian inhabitants of Kasaan togeth- CT with other Indians throughout the Territory are taxed. 1 think a policy of this kind on the part of your of- flee is outrageous.

WHAT LA TOILETTE SAID

Suit for $1OO,OOO has been filed against the Seattle Times Publishing Company by Edgar c. Snyder, state secretary of the Progressive party, in behalf of Robert M. La Toilette.
 The suit grew out of publication in The Times of an article alleged to misquote La Follette's St. Paul address which was made the basis of an attempt to oust him from the senate. The Associated Press, re- sponsible for the original misquota- tion, later made an official apology, and the senate, finding that La Fol lette, had not made the statements credited to him, gave him $5,OOO as reimbursement for his expenses in defending himself against the custer proceedings.

THE REFUGE OF LIES
Isaiah 28;17 (SAM DAVIS)

This article was written by an il- literate. He tells a story and mor- al, but it is interesting.
 Some were in Alaska there is two big spruce Trees Standing near the water edge. The Two Big Trees Sheltered many native Travelling in the Old Times. It was in the month of Oct. a native and his wife and two children, made their camp in this little Bay, where these two big tree are standing he had pull his canoe on shore and Tied every thing down, for he Saw Black Storm Coming from South West and already he heard the wind bowling over their heads. He had roasted a salmon on a stick which his wife, and two children were eating their supper-It began to Thunder and flash of Lightning above their heads
 From boyhood he had camped under the very Same trees, and he had worse storms than this one. So he and family sheltered themself un- der the Trees. But the Thunder be- came louder and the lightning more and more, and the big spruce trees began to shake more. Before morn ing a lightning struged one of these trees, under which he had took shel- ter. The lightning glanced from the tree and he fell blackened corpse.

 Some of these poor woman did have children by these white men But they have to go by Native names. Yes The white mans bad sickness did Kill and Kills fast until now the same Hydah tribe are about 400 in number.
 And the hail shall swept away the refuge of lies.
 I don't know what it means. As boy in Seattle I saw a man who the people of Seattle said was an English Duke. I can rember he dressed very funny-he had a very tite Breetches on red top Boots short Plug hat. I was told that Duke was next to King of England and was also told that he had right to so much ground. That Reservation where the Duke could fish and Hunt foxes.
 I just wonder if the U. s. People are going to make Dukes of the Alaska packers, Hoover and McNeil & Libby so that all of Alaska may be made fish reservations for them to save fish. do you as people of Alaska Think these big fish trust Build their canners in Alaska to save fish? Do you belive after save ing all the Salmon that it will be given back to you?
 Take eat and be merry. Myself l belive the whole scheme of fish reservation is framed by men who are makeing soft pillow on which the Trap owners are sleeping out their golden hours of hope to get rich quick and starve the remaining 400 Hydahs.
 Excuse me, but am an illiterate, they don't want me to vote, but I know what is wrong with my own country, and got the spirit to fight. Have you?
