AN INTELLIGENT PLAN TO AID
THE ALASKA NATIVE

In his announced program of attempting to es-
tablish permanent market for articles made by the
Arctic Eskimos it would appear that CM Hirst D-
rector of Education for the Bureau of Indian Affairs
here has taken worthwhile action in trying to pro-
vide economic independence for the native people of
the north.
u Instead of peddling articles made by the natives
along the route south from Bureau vessels, the Di
rector proposes build up commercial business for
the Eskmos by selling the goods to the retail dealer
who knows about what his market can stand in the
of stock In other words the effort is get the
native Arctic curo trade on intelligent basis which
will guarantee definite income to the producer of the
goods which is the native craftsman.
For example, if a dealer in Juneau feels that he
sell in the of his business 300 articles of
ivory to his regular and tourist trade he can place
his order with the native manufacturer and get the
goods when the order is completed paying the manu-
facturer established price
Under the setup which has been in practice for
years the native craftsman made up his various ar
tcies and took what he could get never knowing what
the return would be- These articles were pedded
Alaska and in Seattle at anything the peddler
could get the native usually getting the slim end of
the horn due to the simple fact that he is naturally
poor salesman He has fallen for every chiseler the
white race has produced and Lord knows there arc
plenty of them. Too often he has disposed of an ar
tice which would bring fifty dollars to the white man
for bottle of hootch.
But the Indian office through its director
proposes to put the Arctic native on a commercial
basis where he may through his own effort gain a
degree of economic independence It is a program
which should be of lasting benefit to the native peo
pie of Alaska Surely they entitled to it after the
years in which they have been exploited at no gain
TO themselves.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1887
For the average person this may
be rather an unlucky day, accord
ing TO astrology. There is a for
tunate aspect for those who have
gained success or high station.
As the holidays draw near there
may be added unrest among certain
i.0.l ana women who belong to
trades or who work in factories.
Mars will continue to stimulate
many human industries and to men
ace the peace of the world, but in
federal government circles there is
likely to be the appearance of un-
concern.
The President of the United States
and other men who influence hui
man destiny will enjoy a holiday
period that is outwardly happy.
1 Epidemics of colds and influenza
may be extraordinarily severe The
young should be as careful as their
elders in safeguarding health.
] Bitter midwinter will cause great
suffering and there will be extra
ordinary demands upon relief ag-
encieS.
Merchants will reap a great bene-
fit in the holiday trade. The de-
mand for furs and other costly
wraps will be unprecedented.
Distinguished visitors from afar
will make history in Washington, it
is presaged. Many brilliant enter
tainments will mark the next fort
night in American cities where there
will be costly social activities that
may arouse resentment among the
poor
Persons whose birthdate it is have
/ the augury of a year of prosperity
in business and financial affairs
Women may make successful mar
riages.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be proud, honorable and
gifted Subjects of this sign may

Phillips Brooks, Protestant Epis-

Horoscope
"The stars incline
but do not compel
SUNDAY, DECEMBER II, 1887


According to astroiogy this should
be a fairly fortunate day. 1t is a
date of especial significance for
women. Young girls should bene-
fit.
Under this CONFORMATION the mind
naturally turns to the finer things
of life. Preachers and musicians
should command serious attention.
Many young men will choose the
ministry as their vocation in the
new year. A number are to serve as
army chaplains.
The mind should be open to sug-
gestion from pulpit and press. Study
of public questions and human re-
lations will become increasing pop
ular.
This is not an suspicious sway
under which to write letters. Eff
forts to explain expenditures may
be unfortunate for college boys and
girls. They should also avoid love
missives.
The quest for spiritual help will
encourage exploration of occult
ism. Many receptions will be prac-
ticed
Astrology will be studied serious
ly and will gain a wider accep-
lance. Those who read the stars
warn the world that it is approach
ing a year of supreme tests to civ
ilization.
On this third Sunday in Advent
there may be cause for the church
es to preach peace and recognition
of the universal brotherhood.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of some diff
culties precipitated by differences Of
opinion among members of the
family. Educational problems will
be prominent where young folk are
concerned.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be generous in their judg-
ments, gifted in speech and able to
make the most of their opportuni-
ties
John Jay, jurist and statesman,
was born on this day 1748. Others
who have celebrated it as birth
day include Richard Yates, former
Governor of Illinois, 1860; Isaac
HOLSTER Hall, Oriental scholar, 1887
Willian Lloyd Garrison, abolition
list, 1904.
