grandson of Chief White Plume to try
to slip past the Chayenncs with mes
sage to white soldiers stationed at To-
peka.
Kaws Are Rescued.
The son of the Union Army officer
was successful with the only military
mission of his life, and the Kaws were
rescued. But the boy remained in To-
peka with his father and white grand
mother. He sold apples and peanuts at
a railroad station and attended school
for a few months in the Winters.
When he was IA he heard that the
Kaws were to be moved again, this time
from the State named after the tribe
to indian Territory, now Oklahoma. He
hurried back to his Grandmother Pap
3an and told her he would accompany
her to the new home in the direction
of the MONDAY sun.
But the French h-Indian woman told
her grandson the future of red men was
as uncertain as their present was un-
happy, and she urged him to stay with
his fathers people.
So Charley returned to his Grand
mother Curtis But among the white
settlers of early Kansas nearly every
bov had to work for living. Charley
disliked the Job of vending apples. and
the riding of horses was more fitting
to his Indian nature. He became a
Jockey and won many race.
Drove Hack at Night.
Later he drove hack at night while
attending school in the day. He con-
tinued hack driving when he studied
law in the Office Of A. H. Case.
At 81 he was admitted to the bar,
becoming Cases partner and three
years later he was elected county at
torney. During four years in this
Office he proved that the Kansas pro-
hibition law could be enforced, and his
fame as prosecutor spread beyond
the borders of Shawnee County.
In 1892 Curtis won a seat in the
lower house of Congress and held 1t
until 1907. when he was elected United
States Senator. Four years ago he
became the Republican leader in the
Senate.
Leader Since Lodge Died.
Since the death of Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts he has presided
over the destinies of the Republican
party in the Senate with breadth
of view, a sureness of purpose and all
round ability that have been the ad-
miration of Republicans and Democrats
alike.
Senator Curtis duties as majority
leader have not all been legislative and

political. The Senate decided at the
recent session to remodel its chamber
in order to increase ventilation. That
kept Curtis from going to Kansas City
as soon as he had intended. He had
to stay behind, after the Senate ad-
journed to see that the job was started
right.
During the preconvention campaign,
Curtis, unlike some of his Senate coll
leagues, such as Watson, Coff and the
late Frank Willis, did not conduct an
open campaign of vituperation against
Hoover Always canny, he watched his
step and no inSurmountable political
barriers could be raised against him by
Hoover's friends.
Stand on Farm Issue.
Curtis voted with the farm bloc for
passage of the McNary- -Haugen BILL but
when President Coolidge vetoed 1t he
refused to vote against the veto.
Early in his career Curtis learned
something he never has forgotten
throughout four decades OF public life
In the last analysis the voters decide
the election. AS Representative, as
Senator, Curtis has kept in touch with
the individual voters, in old party con-
vention days as well as in the era of
the primary.
But Curtis always has done more
than keep in touch with the people of
his district-later of his State. He has
served them, not only collectively but
individually. 1t is said that no
Kansan, Republican, Democrat, or
otherwise. has ever written Charlie
Curtis without receiving an answer.
And the answer would be to the point.
If the thing asked could not be done,
the writer was told so, plainly. If it
were possible, Curtis tried to do it.
Hold on His State.
He has regarded himself in addition
to being a United States Senator, as a
sort of attorney for the people of
Kansas at Washington. That explains,
in part, at least, the hold Curtis
always has had in Kansas and the
respect in which he always has been
held by his colleagues.
OF course, Curtis Is good politician.
He knows the rules of the game, and

EYES OF MINING WORLD
 TURNING TOWARD STIKINE
Canadian Geological Experts Have Discovered Around Stikne What They Believe to Be Perhaps Richest
 Mineral Area in Western Canada

VICTORIA, B. C.-Informed that experts of the Canadian geological survey have discovered around the Stikine River what they believe to be perhaps the richest mineral area in British Columbia, Hon. W. A. Mac Kenzie. minister of mines. has taken steps to secure greater cooperation with federal geological authorities. in order that their mineral reports may be published as soon as they are available.
 MT. Mackenzie is asking the de- partmnt of the interior to publish as early in 1929 as possible the report of Dr. Kerr of the geological survey who. this year, completed a survey of the Stikine area, and who declares it to be perhaps the most interesting in the entire province.
 Publication of the report, MT. Mac l.onz.e believes, would result in the movement of many prospectors into the district and possibly to the dis covery of extremely valuable proper ties.
 The district covered by Dr. Kerr's investigations, according to prelimi- nary information received by the mines department lies between the Stikine and Iskut rivers. Dr. Kerr states that extensive ore bodies there carry high values in gold, silver, cop per and zinc. Only a few prospec- tors have examined the district so far, and the possibilities of the area have been explored only in a prelim- mary way. These investigations, however, have convinced the federal expert and his associates, that the province has on the Stikine a min ing field of large extent and high values, ranking with the best in Western Canada.
 Tn Stikine country is not so diff cult of access as is generally sup posed, Dr. Kerr has informed provin- cial mining officials. His report will stress the fact that the country may be entered by way of the Stikine riv- CT, at Wrangell, Alaska, by boat to Telegraph Creek, from there it is ne- cessary to go south over land to the mineralized zone. This extends for an undetermined distance, roughly in vast oval to the west of Tele- graph Creek.
 Since the earliest days prospectors going up the Stikine to the placer land around Telegraph Creek passed this lode zone by in their search for gold. Now engineers of the geologi- cal survey have examined it suffici- ently to pronounce it mineral area of enormous possibilities, eclipsing, they say. the placer district further east.

Anton Nelson Adjudged Insane

Anton Nelson was brought in from Snow Pass last week by U. S. Deputy Marshal H. D. Campbell. MT. Nelson was suffering from a delusion that he was being followed from place to place by person who pumped gas into his tent each night.
 On Saturday afternoon MT. Nelson was given a sanity hearing before Acting U. s. Commissioner L. B. Chisholm.
 Several witnesses were examined, but the most convincing testimony came from MT. Nelson himself. Pro- fessional testimony of a positive na- ture was given by Dr. Ellis H. Ed wards. The jury rendered verdict finding Nelson to be of an unsound mind, and recommending that he be committed to the Morningside sani- tarium at Portland, Oregon. The jury was composed of o. Gunderson, John Olson, L. M. Churchill, Edwin Hofstad, A. Vreatt, F. E. Gingrass.
 The unfortunate man is 5S years of age He came to America from Norway in 1910 and settled on Puget Sound. Five years ago he came to Alaska and has engaged in hand rolling most of the time since his arrival in the north.

General Trap Restrictions

It is announced that the principle adopted year ago for the southeast ern Alaska and Prince William sound areas, of declaring all waters closed to trap fishing, except in specified waters outside bays and estuaries, will be extended next season to the Alaska Peninsula, Chignik, Kodiak and Cook Inlet areas, which are the remaining areas where trap fishing is permitted.
 Action has been taken to further reduce the total number of traps that will be operated in 1929. It is com puted that in the several areas af- fected the reduction in traps will be approximately 95, of which about so will be in southeast Alaska, 20 in Cook Inlet, and the others in the Prince William Sound, Kodiak and Alaska Peninsula areas. Further, a number of places heretofore open to traps in the southeastern and Prince William Sound areas have been re- duced in extent or entirely closed, thus preventing possible expansion of trap operations in places not pre- viously occupied.

Mild Weather Disappoints
 Wrangel Youngsters

The mild weather may delight the older citizens of Wrangell but the younger generation are loud in their disapproval. They demand snow and lots of it. Last year they had some skating and later on snow frolics of all kinds. This year there have been but two light falls of snow, which melted almost at once For a num- Der of days the thermometer has ranged daily from thirty-three or thirty-four degrees to forty-two to forty-five degrees. The freezing weather of some weeks ago lasted but short time and present pros poets for "white Christmas" seem most unpromising.

Schnabel Returning to Alaska
 Greets Friends at Wrangell

As the Northwestern warped up to the dock at o'clock Tuesday morn ing the old timers who were present were most pleasantly surprised to note that the passengers aboard in cluded William F. Schnabel, former ly United States Deputy Marshal at Wrangell. MT. Schnabel is not so young as he used to be, but he is wonderfully well preserved man and still moves along with the stride of West Point cadet. The local fire boys were particularly glad to see him and shake the vigorous hand of their for mer fire chief. Fire Chief Oscar Carlson did the honors by taking the former chief for ride on Wrangell's up-to-date fire truck. It was happy reunion and many local people re- called the glorious banquet rendered MT. Schnabel on his departure from Wrangell for Idaho in 1914. Mir. Schnabel was enroute to Sitka where it is understood that he will assume the duties of United States Deputy Marshal at that place.

Edge argued that the canal thru Nicaragua was necessary from a standpoint of economy and safety to the United States and declared that Panama canals capac- ity soon would be taxed to it's limit.

Important Change

Another important change is that no part of any trap in a greater depth than 100 it. at mean high tide can be more than 900 it. from the shore to the face of the trap at any stage Of the tide. This apparently applies to traps of any type, as no specific mention of floaters was made in MT, o'Malley's statement. It is anticipated that certain othe changes or limitations will be effect ed in details of trap construction.

Radical changes in various parts of the Alaska Fisheries Regulations to be promulgated for 1929 were an- nounced by Henry O'Malley, U. $. Commissioenr of Fisheries, says 8 late Pacific Fisherman prior to his departure for Washington, D. c., Nov. 24, after spending several weeks on the Coast. One of the most important is the complete redistrict- ing of Southeast Alaska, in response to a need that has been recognized both by the Bureau of Fisheries and the industry. Some changes will also be made in closing dates in this area which will further tend to limit pro- duction: and the regulations are de- signed to bring about further sub stantial reduction in the number of traps in various areas, while new re- strictions will be placed on various other forms of gear. On the whole limitations of fishing will be appre- ciably more rigorous than last sea- son, though probably less so than some had anticipated.
 The preliminary announcement covers only some of the outstanding features of the new regulations in a general way, without going into any extended detail. It was made follow ing a fortnight of conferences with interested parties at San Francisco and Seattle, during which careful study was given to the bearing and effect of ideas that had been previ- ously developed in provisional way, and the facts on which they were based were given a final thorough re- view.
 The following summary covers the more important points and principles involved, which are considered cer- tain to stand in the final text.

Bristol Bay Gillnets Cut

The only striking change in the Bristol Bay district is the reduction of length of gillnets from 200 to 150 fathoms, to apply over the entire area, following a similar limitation for the Nushagak section last year. This will undoubtedly involve a sub stantial curtailment in the relative catch of the district, and will assure correspondingly greater escape ment, especially if the run should be light
