The basis of the technicality
lies in the fact that Berwick has
never been decided English or
Scottish, so that any treaties
signed with the United Kingdom
always have included a separate
agreement for Berwick. When

ain and Russia after the Crimean
War, Berwick was overlooked in
the treaty.

CANADIAN WAR VETERAN
 KILLS SELF AT TULSEQUAH

Prank O. Johnson, a Canadian World War veteran, committed sui eide at Tulsequah December or 6 by cutting his throat with a but cher knife, according to radio mes sages received by Bob Ellis, Juneau PAA representative from the PAA radio operator at Canyon Island. Tracks from his cabin to the river, and back to the cabin and wet clothing and shoes found hanging rom a line in the cabin, gave ere dence to the theory that Johnson had apparently tried to drown him self before cutting his throat bul found the water too cold. He was found outside his cabin clad only in his underwear with his throat cut from ear to ear.

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
BY n. .SURATT

Announcement that President Roosevelt will personally deliver his annual message to Congress at special night session, in order that radio listeners throughout the na- tion may hear what their Chief Executive has to say on the mo- mentous occasion has aroused r2- sentiment among Republicans. Chairman Fletcher Ironically asserts that the Presidential address at this dnseemly hour @ D. III. eastern standard time) brings the affair down to the level of a political speech, and demands that the broad casting systems accord Republicans an equal opportunity.
 MT. Roosevelt is still the nation $ head and his message at this time probably the most critical ill our history-is eagerly awaited by a large proportion of tEe electorate Thousands of farmers wish to know what the administration proposes to do in case the AAA is declared invalid. Other thousands of war veterans are keen about their bonus. Advocates of peace are much con cerned with neutrality, while a vast number of forgotten meno-still forgotten to alarge extent if We may place credence in relief and UT employment statistics-are no doubt anxious to know what is in store for them should the policy of re trenchment he pursued. Possibly the President will throw some light cn these things.
 Doubtless the radio companies would be just as gracious to the Republicans if a member of their party occupied the White House, and was about to address the rep resentatives of the country. The chief concern of the broadcastiEg companies is to render efficient serv- ie to millions of listeners through out the land, and there could hard ly be a greater service than to per init these listeners 10 hear from the Presidents own lips what the ad- ninistration's policy will be in 1886.

ALASKA HAS GONE MODERN
Valdez Miner

ONE OF the changes in Alaskan life that has been brought about by modern science and invention is the decline in the demand for small charter boats. Keeping pace with her Mother States, Alaska has gone modern in transportation and h9s heightened her stride to cover mile in the same time that it used to require to travel yards.
 Five years ago each Alaskan town had it's quota of power boats for charter from small launches to sturdy passenger vessels of the cannery tender type, busily engag- ed in the important task of get ting people from here to there along the thousands of miles of in accessible coast line, taking miners to their grounds hustling busy travelling men to their trade, car rying hunters to their choice shoot ing country, carrying the mail to Northern outposts and doing in capable way every task that was asked of them.
 As the dog team served the lnte- rior so the small boat did it's part in developing the coast each earn ing the respect and confidence Of their clientele. Tough scrapping gallant husky dogs and blunt-nosed plodding husky ships doing their part.

indeed great. The friendly Indians

During the next few weeks before the primary
election, the Spokesman will devote considerable
space in this column to discussion of the merits
of the~va1ious candidates for public office
TBv way of introduction, it might be said that
this asection is exceptionally fortunate in having
"a number Of very fine candidates in the field and
should be able to choose men this fall VINO nave
every qualification to conduct the public affairs.
In the race for the Office Of commissioner OF
district No i in Benton county, Frank Clark, the
! incumbent, has no opposition on the Democratic
ticket but will be opposed in the general election
#fy George Thompson of Benton City, the only
candidate on the Republican ticket
There has never been more popular county
commissioner in this district than Clark, and even
though he is unopposed, present indications are
that he will get of the largest votes given any
Individual candidate.
In several other instances there Will be no con-
test in the primary but for some offices the voters
za nave to choose between good many For the
governors position an example, there are SIX
Democratic and eight Republican candidates.
The Democrats represented by Governor
Martin. John G. Stevenson and Otto Case, among
Others. while the strongest Republicans appear to
be John Gellatly Ralph Horn and Roland d
Hartley, while Erie Barnes may possibly make
strong showing.
Several Of these we'll qualified to seek
nnblic office while others mere battle-scarred
politicians who, like punch-drunk fighters, are
unable to see that the day is past.

EARLY DAYS on the
COLUMBIA RIVER
Stray Leaves from, Ross Co.'s Diary
BY REV. JOHN PATE

like this:
"After returning thanks to that
great and good Being IN whose
hands are the issues OF life ana
death, and who had watched over
my wandering steps, and who res
cued me from the many pernous
dangers encountered I sat down
to nv salmon, of which it Is need
less to say I made a happy supper.
The family consisted of an elderly
man, and his sons, with their wives
and children. From signs made 70
him. Cox gathered that they were
aware of his being lost, and that
they, with other Indians and white
men, had been out for days, scour-
ing the woods and plains in search
of him. He also gathered that his
party had arrived at their destlna-
ton, which was only a few hours
from the hospitable dwelling.
The solicitude shown by the In
dians for the WORKOUT man was OF
the most affectionate nature, and
while the old woman was dressing
his feet, the men were endeavor-
ing to make their meaning plain
/ to him.
He had been fourteen days IN a
wilderness without holding com
munion kind with any human being
but I listened" he says, with
thousand times more real delight to
the harsh and gutteral voices OF
those poor Indians than was ever
experienced by the most enthusiast
tic admirers of melody from the
thrilling tones of a !Calacini, or tt1t
melting sweetness of a, Stephens.
AS it was too late to proceed any
farther that night, he retired X
rest on comfortable couch OF but
falo and deer skins.
One can understand that he slep
soundly, and after breakfasting OF
the remainder of the salmon, n
prepared to join his white frlends
A considerable stream, calle'
Occur d Alene, flowed close to tn
hut. The old man and his son &C
companied Cox, crossing the rive
by canoe. They brought over thre
horses, and after wrapping his bod

a had not gone more than seven mile
when Cox began to feel the ba

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

The primary election this fall will mark d1s-
xinct change in the system Of nominating canal-
adates for the general election in November Inc
~original system of nomination was by conventions
eof the political parties, this system being mool-
fed some time AGO so that instead OF attending
a convention voters could simply cast their ballot
at statewide election. This method was st1n a
mart of the party system Of government, however,
and there was no provision for non-partlsan sell
sections. voter was considered member OF either
the Democratic, Republican or some other party,
and was allowed to vote for candidates WITHIN that
party alone.
Under the blanket primary, to go into effect
September 8, this system is radically changed, ana
a voter need no longer declare himself a member
of either party but may vote for Democrat for
one Office a Republican for another, and SO on.
Under this system, it is now possible to vote
for the man YOU consider best fitted for the office,
regardless of his party, or your party. 1t prop.
erlv carried out this will mean the selection OF
better candidates for the general election than
has heretofore been prevalent generally speaking.
On the other hand, it is possible for party TO
put but one candidate on the ticket for a given
Office and then vote en- masse for weak candl-
date on the opposing ticket SO that their candl-
date will have better chance in the general cleo
ton.
AS with all things, the system is no better than
the people make it.

LONELY DAYS AND NIGHTS IN
THE WILDERNESS THE DARK
EST HOUR JUST BEFORE The
DAWN.

DAWN.
It was on the 18th day Of Aug
,,st that Ross Cox lost sight OF his
party, and from then until the
afternoon Of the 30th he was lost
in the wilderness" His course,
which was nearly northeast, lay
through a country more diverslflee
by wood and water than heretofore.
He saw plenty of wild geese, ducks,
cranes, curlews and sparroWs, also
some hawks and cormorants, and
at a distance about fifteen or tWen-
ty small deer.
Rattlesnakes were very numerous,
with horned lizards and grasshop-
pers. The latter, he says, kept me
in contant state of feverish alarm,
from the similarity of the noise
made by their wings to the sound
of the rattles of the snake when
preparing to dart on it's prey
That day he suffered severely
from hunger and was obliged to
chew grass, which allayed it little.
Late in the evening, he came to
lake upwards of two miles long, and
a mile broad. The shores were very
high and we'll wooded with large
pine, spruce and birch. 1t Was led
by two small streams from the
north and northeast, in which
number of small fish were to be
seen. but as he had no means OF
catching any, he had perforce to
do without. Fortunately, there were
an abundant supply of wild cherries
on which he made his supper.
That night he slept on the banks
of the nearest stream just where II
entered the lake, but during the
night the bowling of wolves and the
growing of bears broke in terribly
on his slumber, and 'fbalmy sleep
was banished from his eyelids. Next
morning, on rising, he observed on
the opposite bank at the mouth Of
the river the entrance of a large
and apparently deep cavern, from
which he surmised the music O.
the preceding night had issued.
Thus, day after day passed by
With bruised and bleeding feet
each days journey brought pall
and disappointment, without an
hopeful signs to cheer his lionel
way.
On the 30th, having almost give
way to despair, his path took
more easterly turn, and here an
there he found a weI-beaten hors
path. Following this it led him !

sporting in meadow from Wh1c
he was separated by a rapidly flow
ing stream. With some difficulty h
assembled the opposite bank, and &C
vancing short distance into tf
meadow, the cheering sight OF
small column of gracefully curtin
smoke announced that he was aga1
in the vicinity of human beings.
In a moment two Indian wome
saw him. They Immediately fled
a hut which stood at the other e1
of the meadow This action led hi
to doubt whether he had arrlv
among friends or enemies, but T
fears were quickly dissipated by t.
approach of two men, who car

manner. On seeing the lacerat
condition of his feet, they CARR
