Arkansas

This is Arkansas, pronounced Ar
kansaw. Hedged in on either side by
PERCEPTIONS hills. covered with thick
growth of small pines, is valley,
narrow and none too level, in which
the city of Hot Springs lies. 1t is
beautiful location inspiring and al
most grand. At first sight, you like
it and are glad you came. 1t is
a strange country to me and yet one
in which | feel at home. The city
is said to contain 10000 people, there
are double street car tracks up and
down the valley with another line
diverging where the valley widens.
The people are little different from
those in other placs, perhaps a lit
tie quicker on the trigger" and one
notices that peculiar southern accent,
which is pleasant to hear. The South
is the home of the negro and here
there are a good number housed by
themselves in their own section of
the city away from the whites. The
negro is the servant and the bearer
of heavy loads. l nave seen none
of them as walters in the restaurants
or hotels although | suspect that
where you pay dollar or a dollar
and a half for a meal you will have
the privilege of giving a tip, if you
like. Young ladies for the most part
wait on the tables and they are a

cheeks. 1t is not necessary. They
are beautiful enough without.

for these articles. That is a good
one.
On the Way.
Leaving st. Cloud on Sunday after
noon, the 5th inst, the journey was
readily made by bus to Minneapolis
where seven roads fully equipped
with sumptuous trains awaited to
take me to Chicago. One may go
in more direct way South but the
fare via Chicago is the same and
the train service better.
Leaving Minneapolis at $40 Sunday
evening, at exactly 6:55 the next
morning Chicago was reached. Travel
was light with but few in the car.
During the night somewhere between
st. Paul and Chicago that essential
of all modern travel, pie, went up in
price from ten to fifteen cents and
only in places has it fallen since.
Having some business to transact in
Chicago, | did not leave for st. Louis
until noon on Tuesday. st. Louis was
reached at a little after six, having
made a fine run with but few stops.
From st. Paul to Chicago is 410 miles,
from Chicago to st. Louis 296 and
from ST. Louis to Hot Springs 4O2
miles, making the total distance 1,1OS
miles.
Chicago.
We hear great real of the nest
of crime in Chicago and of the mayor
of Chicago and his notorious atti
tude toward historical writings con-
corning our relationship with Eng
land, but aside from these there
are much better things to herald
about Chicago. 1t has large heart
manifest in many ways. One will
suffice here. Looking about for a
hotel, in the distance could be seen
printed across the side of a tall build

same lunatic contradiction can be
found almost everywhere.
The economic survey proposed
should help us to solve the remain
ing half of the problem of poverty
the question of how we can consume
what we produce-and solve it we
must. 1t is hard enough to tighten

it, but to
"Starve in the midst of Natures

is something that no people at all
like our own either will or should

Alaska Notes Gathered From Territorial
 Exchanges.

Al Wilson, aged ?. pioneer of Ju- neau, died suddenly a few days ago in Seattle, where he went a month OF so ago on visit. Wilson was one>of the best known of the pioneers of Ju- neau, having landed there in May, 1886, with Emery Valentine, and they remained close friends until the end In 1888 Wilson went down the Yu- kon river to ForWmile, where he prospected and mined for few years. He was at Fortymile at the time the river steamer broke down at St. Mi- chael and failed to come up the Yu- kon river with supplies. Facing star vation, the Fortymile population held a miners meeting, chose the well known Yukon soudough Tom OBrien for leader. Under his direction all left Fortymile for the lower river. Whenever they found a place where there was enough food to supply one or more men until the following spring, Tom O'Brien would leave the number that could be supplied, and the remainde continued on down the river. Shortly before the freeze-up 200 miners and prospectors reached St. Michael, where there was gen eral store. The whole party was broke, but supplies were comman- deered from the store. They-were afterwards paid for by the Govern ment. The whole party returned to Fortymile in the spring. In 1891 Wilson returned to Juneau and there after made his home on Gastineau channel. He worked for number of years as blacksmith for the Tread well mine, and of late years had been employed at the court house in Ju- neau as jail guard.

Indian potlatches may be good for the old bucks but they are no good for the squaws and children, accord ing to Herman Kessler, trader and trapper, who has just returned to Fairbanks from the Nabesna. The bucks will so impoverish their fam lilies to save up for the big event that the youngsters are almost starved to death. Rifles and blankets are the big idea, helped along by the traders who are trying to sell thei goods ir- respective of the welfare of the na- tives.
 Kessler has been in the upper Tan ana and the Nebesna for many years and knows whereof he speaks. They had a big potlatch at Panama Cross ing early this spring and they are starting preparations for another one at Tetlin.
 "Whole villages are impoverished and cleaned out for one big Shoopla," !" Kessler says. ''In addition to the rifles and blankets there is plenty of moonshine offered, and it isn't doing anyone any good"

 Possibility that a group of Rus- sians now living in California would eettle in Alaska was expressed by the Rev. Tiknon L. Lavrischeff, Russian priest, who has just completed tour of the Interior seeking information concerning the eountry's agricultural possibilities.
 To a Seward Gateway man the Rev. I.avrischeff said "This is the first time in my life that l have seen bachelor farmers. If the single farmers can achieve such wonderful results in Alaska, see a remarkable future for the Territory when the ag- rieultural pioneers receive a helping hand from women who are imbued with the same spirit
 He seemed to believe he had found the same brush and trees which are aa integral part of the Russian land scape and which are celebrated in Russian folk music and poetry. He compared the Territory of Alaska with the steppes of the Dnieper, Don and FoIgar basins of Russia.

Travel between Asia and Alaska was resumed June 1, when 10 boats, containing 75 Eskimos, landeed on St. Lawrence island from Siberia for their annual visit. Foot races, wrestling matches, dancing and swap ping of yarns, reindeer skins and pro- ducts of the last year are features of the celebration which attend the an nual pilgrimmages. This year is the first time the Siberians have been permitted to come to St. Lawrence island because of the restrictions es- tablished by the Soviet government.

Sir Ronald Ross of London
Afflicted With Serious
Illness.

LONDON OP.-In a modest fiat in
Southwest London lives an aged scien-
tist whose work helped to save many
thousands of human lives from malaria,
yet whose own Autumn time OF life is
shadowed by impending want
He is Sir Ronald Ross, 80 years ago
one of the men who discovered That
malaria is carried by mosquitoes. This
discovery was one of the starting points
of Gen. GorgaS' work in stamping out
fever which menaced the success OF
construction of the Panama Canal.
At the age of II, with the use OF
one arm gone, Sir Ronald is afflicted
with serious illness. To get money ne
has offered for sale his archives cov-
ering 80 years Of malaria research.
They fill a big chest of steel drawers
that dominates one room of his tiny
fiat. They are packed with private
papers, note books and correspondence.
The price asked is $4,000.
When in good health Sir Ronald
earns his living at the Hospital for
Tropical Diseases, walking there from
his home every morning, wet weather
and fine.
Sir Ronald would rather talk about
his life work against malaria than OF
himself and how, having suspected the
mosquito and examined it under the
microscope, he found strange bodies in
its actual tissues. In those bodies he
found pigment, and the mosquitoes cells
do not have pigment. Slowly he COM
pleted the life cycle of those parasite
bodies, proving them to be malaria
germs.
AS he talked of his subsequent visits
to the tropics on anti-malaria cruSades
an interviewer asked:
Would you, if you could have an
ticipated how you would be rewarded,
have lived your life in any other way?"
He answered simply, II want to go
out again to carry on my work"
The only public reward which Sir
Ronald has received is title, given
him by his king.
