INHERENT DIGNITY

The following letter from Miss
Agnes Fletcher of Klawack was
published in the Timely Letters
to the Editor" department Of the
New York Times in its issue of
March 18th:
To the Editor Of the New York
Times:
Apropos of the Presidential hand
shaking I must tell this story:
When President Harding was
making his Alaska trip he received
an ovation at Sitka. While the cere-
monies were in progress some one
presented him with a very finely
carved epotlateh bowl. These
bowls are fine pieces of workman
ship, some Of them set with ivory
and are becoming rare as the young
ar generation has too much to do in
other lines.
The President was much pleased
and after his speech of acceptance
asked to see the person who had
done this fine carving. It SO hap
pened that Augustus Bean. a full
blooded Thlinget, had done the
work, and a messenger was sent to
find him and have him come up to
shake hands with the President.
Mr.. Bean, who had descended
from a long line of chieftains and
was accustomed to receiving guests
himself, bowed low and said,
please tell Mr.. President that am
here if he wishes to see me-"
This was not done in a disre-
speetful manner. but it goes to show
the difference between those who
inherit greatness and those who ac-
quire it.
We who live in sitka had much
respect for Augustus Bean, and
when he died a few months ago
both whites and natives mourned
his loss.

GOVERNMENT TO BE ASKED
TO IMPROVE HOT SPRINGS

The government is to be asked to
erect a new building at Tenakee
Hot Springs. in southeastern Alas
ka. for the accommodation of the
many Alaskans who visit the
springs each year for the benefit Of
their health. The building now in
use is old and run down and wholly
unsuited to the requirements of the
resort and inasmueh as the govern
ment insists on retaining title to the
property, oIdtimers believe govern
ment funds should be made avail
able for the erection Of a decent
building for the use of those who
GO to the springs for baths.
a petition asking for an appro-
priation Of $4,000 for such a build
ing is being circulated in Anchorage
at present by Harry A. Wertz, pio-
neer prospeetor of the railroad belt,
who has just returned from Tena-
kee. where he spent nearly three
weeks boiling the rheumatism out
of his system. He declares that the
resort is the best in the north, con-
veniently located and with water
that works wonders with a rundown
system. All that is needed is a de
cent building in which visitors can
live while taking the baths
The present building is crowded
most of the time and its many years
of service have virtually worn it
out. It is kept up by the visitors as
we'll as it can be in view of its di-
lapidated condition.
The petition which Mr.. Wertz
brought to Anchorage has been very
largely signed by citizens of other
communities down the coast and
since there are many here who are
familiar with conditions at Tena-
kee, it is expected that there will
be a large number of names added
in Anchorage.-A Times.

introduced before the next Iegisla-
ture. which may be extended TO IN
elude travelling libraries for remote
districts Of the territory.
After hearing the report Of the
committee a motion prevailed that
this report be accepted as the at
titude of the Wrangell P.-T.A. to-
ward the proposed travelling IL
braries.
The suggestion vas then made
that the several Parent=Teaeher or
CARNATIONS Of the territory, either
singly or through the Alaska Coun-
ell could very properly interest
themselves in sponsoring the IL
brary bill when it comes before the
next legislature. and do all they
could to promote its passage.
The following program was then
enjoyed.

the opinion of the WrangelI P.-T.A.
relative TO the territorial organiza-
ton purchasing a travelling library
for the benefit Of Alaska schools.
A committee comprised Of Mrs. J.
Y. Pritehett. Mrs. Il. Q. Johnson
and A. Rasmussen, appointed to
look into the matter. reported un-
faYorably on the proposition stating
that they believed it better for each
school to have It's own library; that
library books are regarded as part
OF the school equipment and are
therefore entitled TO the territorial
refund. For instance. Wrangell may
increase its school library BY a hun
bred dollars worth of books and the
cost would be but sI5 to the school
The cost Of freight and transfer Of
travelling library would soon
amount to more than the money
saved the school
The committee also stated that
they believed travelling school
library entails too much expense
and requires a stronger and more
centralized backing than the Alas
ka Council with its changing Of
ficers from year TO year could al
ford.
It was further stated that a libra
~ bill extending aid to small libra
ries was rejected by the last legisla-
ture but that a similar bill is TO be

to the Khan was absolute, The general
of a division stationed a thousand miles
from the court submitted to be relieved
of his command and executed at the Or
der of the Khan brought by common
courier.
He had the imagination to see an
assemblage of unbridled spirits united
in one horde. The wise and mysterious
Ugurs, the Stalwart Karaits, the hardy
the dour merkitS-the silent and long
enduring men from the snow tllndras,
the hunters of game-all the riders of
high Asia, gathered into a single gi-
gantlc clan; himself the chieftain.
The horde itself was no haphazard
gathering of clans. Like the Roman le-
gion, 1t had its permanent organization,
its units of 10 to 10,000-the tunlan
that formed a division of cavalry. In
command of the armies were the Ork-
hons, the marshals of the Khan; the in
fallible Subotai. the old and experienced
Muhuli and the fiery Chepe Noyon-

The Weapons-at least the lances.
heavy armor, and shields-of the horde
were kept in arsenal by certain officers,
cared for and cleaned until the warriors
were summoned for a campaign, when
they we're issued weapons, mustered and
inspected by gur-khans. The sagacious
Mongol did not intend to have several
hundred thousand men loose and fully
armed, scattered over million square
miles of plains and mountains.
To divert the energies of his horde,
the YaSSa ordered the Winter-betWeen
the first heavy snow and the first grass
Ito be devoted to hunts on grand
scale, expeditions after antelope, deer
and the fleet-footed wild ass.
In the Spring he announced that
councils would be held, and all the

Those who, instead Of coming to me to
hear my instructions, remain absent in

No doubt Genghis Khan had learned
fl ON ancestral tradition, and had avail
ed himself of existing customs; but the
creation of the horde as permanent
military organization was his work. The
Yassa ruled 1t, the lash Of ineXorabie
authority held it together. Gengh

that afternoon and evening. The next
day, at dawn, he continued his march
to Silver Spring, where his advance
arrived shortly after noon, greatly fa-

hot July sun.

Last evening a force of from
1900 to 1000 rebels entered Rock
vile and passed through to point
10 few miles this side of that village.
Hating there for a brief while, they
retraced their steps to the town,

This morning they are engaged

command of Col. Lowell, thrown out
to ascertain their strength and char

early in the evening thousands
of persons could be seen passing
out Seventh street by every con-
ceivable means of conveyance, while
the road was literally lined with
pedestrians. The hills, trees and
fences within sight of Fort Stevens
were covered with human beings,
quite number of whom were
ladies. Quietly seated in a carriage,
at a commanding point, was Secre-
tary Seward, viewing the progress Of
affairs.
early this morning there was
considerable skirmishing in the vi
cinity of Fort Stevens on Seventh
street road, and Fort DeRussey on
Rock Creek. The rebel skirmisheS
worked up to within 300 yards of the
forts. and were dislodged by a
heavy line of skirmishes sent out
by us. Subsequently the rebels ap-
peared in Carberrys woods (high
ground) on Rock Greek, between
Clagett's place and Fort DeRuSSey
They showed themselves here in
squads of Is and 20, but well
aimed fire of shells from Fort
Stevens and DeRussey caused them
to get speedily under cover, and
oftarxuards thaU showed more call
ton In exposing themselves to view.
"One of these shells was seen to
explode amidst a group of rebels as
it fell, doing great execution. There
were a number .of casualties this
morning in this vicinity, and 10
wounded (some of them severely
