OFFICE OF A. J. D1MOND Delegate from Alaska
 (By J. J. ECKLES) Secretary to the Delegate

Washington, D. c. Jan. g, 1886
 Forty six bills relating to Alas ka, or for the benefit of Alaska residents, were introduced in the House by Delegate Dimond on January 5, the opening day of the first session, 18th Congress.
 Some of these bills were simi- lar to, or even identical with, measures he sponsored in the "A Congress, but which failed of enactment then. In some of these the wording has been changed sufficiently to place them outside of the objections made against them in former department re- ports, where this could be done without changing the purpose of the bills in their original intent A number of the bills which have been introduced without any cha nge in their text from that in the last congress will probably be better received now too, because of the foundation built for them last year.

Proposals for bids were issued for construction of the proposed Federal building at Nome on De- cember 30th by the Procurement Division of the Treasury Depart ment.

Horseshoe and Good Luck

According to Brewers Dictionary
of Phrase and Fable the legend that
horseshoe brings good luck is sup
posed to have originated with ST.
Dunstan, who was noted for his skill
in shoeing horses. One day Satan
himself is said to have appeared
and demanded that his single
hoof' should be shod. st. Dunstan,
recognizing his customer, tied him
tightly to the wall and proceeded to
do as he was bid. but purposely in
flicted so much pain that his Sa-
tanic Majesty begged for mercy.
Thereupon St. Dunstan released his
captive after having extracted from
him a promise that he would never
enter a place where a horseshoe
was displayed. Thus reads the leg
end. And so, for many centuries,
observes a writer in the New Yrok
Herald Tribune. the horseshoe has
been looked upon as charm
against evil and bringer of good
fortune. At one time it was affixed
to the front door Of the house as a
protection against witches. Lord
Nelson caused one TO be nailed to
the mast of his flagship the Victory
and, today, we still find this emblem
OF good luck installed in many
homes.

The Forest City Man

WHEN Grandpap came back
w from the Worlds Columbian
exposition in Chicago in 1893 he re-
ported: "One of the most interesting
things I saw there was petrified
man-yes, sir. real one. They
found him out in the Dakotas some
where's, so they tell me :" It's
true that it was found out there
in the edge of the Little Cheyenne
river near Forest City And that's
why it's famed as the Forest City
Man"
The father" of this man was Will
liam Sutton, butcher. Perhaps he
got his idea from the fame of the
Cardiff Giant. Or he may just have
thought it up by himself. Anyway,
he took into his confidence a young
doctor at Redfeld, S. D., upon whose
advice a limeburner named William
Horn and James Sutton were taken
into the scheme.
They went to Redfeld where
James Sutton allowed his body to
be used as a pattern and a cast was
made of it. To make it seem more
genuine. real human skeleton was
placed in the cast, after which it
was filed with cement. Then the
Suttons and Horn hauled it to Forest
City and planted" it near the river.
Soon afterwards Horn announced
that during his search for limestone
he had discovered this wonder. 1t
was carefully exhumed and became
nine days wonder in that part of
the country. Then it was exhibited
at Chicago, taken on tour of the
country and fooled innmnerable peo-
pie before the hoax was exposed.

native shows you a point of land
and tells you that it was the in
splration for a famous hymn, don't
believe him! 1t isn't because he's
an untruthful man, but he's just re-
peating in all good faith a story
that originated in the fertile imagi-
nation of a Chicago business man
named Franklin Harvey Head,
friend of Eugene Field and his rival
IN concocting preposterous yarns.
One of them, called THE Legend
OF Jekyl Island" and written for the
amusement Of his friends in the eX-
elusive Jekyl Island club, included
letters which ostensibly had been
written by Gen. James Oglethorpe.
the founder Of Georgia, and his
wife, Dorothy, and others which
were supposed to have come from
the pens of John and Charles Wes-
ley, the founders of Methodism.
In one of these letters. Charles
Wesley told how the view from this
point inspired him to compose the
hymn beginning, "Lo, on a narrow
neck of land -. AS a matter
Of fact, that song was inspired by
Wesley's visit to Lands End in Eng
land and had nothing to do with
Georgia.
But so convincing was Heads ver-
sion that at least one publication OF
the Methodist church accepted it as
true, as it did other supposed
facts" in the Wesley letters writ
ten by Head. even though they did
upset several other early traditions
of Methodism. Even after Head
hoax was exposed, many people
continued to believe The Legend Of
Jekyl Island"

Sit-Down Lovers Strike

ID EMEMBER the recent era Of
IN 'sit-down" strikes? And do you
recall the name of that boy in
Missouri who, having failed to get
his best girl to marry him, chained
himself to a radiator in her home
and said he wouldn't unlock the pad
lock on it until she said Yes? :?
At least, that was the situation as
reported in the newspapers all over
the country and as discussed by mil
lions of people.
And then do you remember how
they went to New York by airplane
and appeared on radio program
and people began to wonder if may
be it wasn't press agent stunt Of
some kind? Well, it was!
But it wasn't to advertise radia-
tors, as some suspected, nor yet a
publicity stunt for that particular
radio program. 1t originated in
the mind Of a Chicago publicity
man. His secretary was the girl
who wouldn't say Eyes" and the boy
who staged the "sit-down lover S
strike" was youth whom he hired
for the occasion.
Remember their names? Probab-
ly not. but you do remember, per-
haps, the town where this strike
was staged. If so. that proves that
this hoax was a good one. For the
Chicago publicity man had been en-
gagged by the business men of that
town to make the name of Excel
sior Springs, Mo-. more familiar
one all over the United States.

Pioneer Society of Eastern Montana Organized i'm
1910; Consisted Only of Persons Who Had Arrived
There Prior to the Advent of the Steam Locomotive

steamboat Carroll" landed above the
mouth of Powder river, with MI. Ora
ham as a passenger, and bearing the
name Of Charles w. Savage on her
log.
Mr.. Graham here claimed to rank
Mr.. Savage as an old-timer from the
fact that he sat at the bow of the
boat when it landed, while Mr.. Savage
was interviewing the laundress about
securing the first boiled shirt that ever
appeared in the valley.
Someone had said to Mr.. Graham
that it was generally supposed that he
had come here for his health. This as
sertion was strenuously denied.
Here in the immediate vicinity was
found the grandest military cavalcade
ever arrayed in battle against the hos
mand of General Terry. 1t included
portions of General Crooks command,
the Fifth infantry under Colonel Miles,
parts of the 22d infantry and of the
18th and Sixth infantry, the entire
regiment of the Second cavalry under
Colonel Bracket, and the remnant Of
the Seventh cavalry, which about 60
days before had been SO cut in battle
with the Indians. These were grouped
together with bands of scouts and de-
tachments of other troops and lay
here at rest awaiting definite orders
and believing that their sojourn in
the land would be of short duration.
Mr.. Charles Savage (now presently
was the first to unofficially inform
General Terry and his staff of the de-
termination Of the secretary of war,
to house and place in cantonment
troops at the mouth of the Tongue river
and nea the junction of the Little
and Big Horn rivers.
Official information did not reach
General Terry until camp was broken
and he had completed one days march
toward Bismarck, Dakota territory,
when sealed instructions reached him
by the hands Of Texas jack" a scout.
Orders were issued from the saddle to
