With th? allogeJ retirement of
II -oui* P. Shackleford from the Al
aska field of politics, many of the
newspaper* are writing up his po
litical obituaries. One of the
moot expressive of these come*
irom the Valde* Miner, extracts
from whicii ts herewith reproduced:
It is reported from Juneau that
I<ouis P. Shackleford has resigned
is member of the republican na
tional committee from Alaska and
<riU soon shake the dust, or mud
1 ?>f Juneau from his feet and take
j >>p his abode In Tacoma. The Job
<>n the national committee, has
j !*e??n slipped to his junior partner,
j William Bayless of Juneau. This
means, of course, that Shackleford j
j will hold the prosy and vote It, I
tiny loss being merely a figurehead. J
It is admitted that Shackleford Is
| : n able lawyer but during the
! past four jears he has devoted hlsi
Itime mostly to politics. That fact]
and the general unpopularity he has
earned by his arrogant and utterly
dishonest political methods hare)
J lost him nearly all his practice In j
j.'unean aside from two or three
corporations With the loss of the
j Treadwell retainer there seems to j
j be no place left for Shackleford In
Alaska but a home for the friend-!
W**
! Like all corporation politicians in
j Alaska who move to Puget sound,!
I Shackleford is determined to save)
j such shreds of political power In)
the territory as he may. That Is
I the meaning of the transfer of the
national committee membetshlp to
his law clerk. It Is like a busted
I financier putting his property In
his wife's name. He will still
hold some fragment of pull at
| Washington while Taft Is In the
j White House and that will end him
to f?r as Alaska Is concerned. It
I is even said that Oov. Clark has

"N?r?r In all my travel* harp I ,
met a more intelligent, hospitable
people than In Alaska. Generous
even to a fault, broad minded, and !
possessing ? noble spirit, often un
der a rough exterior, 1 have been
doeplv Impressed with the char
acter of the residents of the north."
With these words Mr. Jewett C.
Gilson. eminent scientist, lecturer
and scholar, of Oakland. Cal , ex
pressed his opinion of Alaskans a
few days ago to the Valdei Miner.
Accompanied by his wile, Mr. Gil
son Is visiting Southwestern Alaska
seeing for the first time a country
which he has heard so touch
I about
Ills knowledge of science giving
him an added interest In the glac
iers and other natural scenery of
the Territory which, Mr. Gilson
finds absorbingly interesting.
Mr. GUson has made a thorough
i study of meteorites and owns a fine
' collection of these stones gathered
from all parts of the globe. In
i speaking of meteorites he said that
from 100 to 200 tons of meteoric
! dust is falling from the skies every
day. Often these particles can be
found on rooftops in minute p*r
; tides taking the shape of perfect
. spheres. At times they lodge In
the eyes and are mistaken for dust.
When large enough meteorites
can easily be distinguished by the
parallel and cross lines of nickel
which can be brought out by ap
plication of nitric acid.
The publication of the details of
j * strike at Teikhell has caused a
second stampede to that section of
the country. Parties have been
striking out at all hours, there be
ing a continual procession out the
government road from Valdex

nearly put him out of comonHslon
with Tuft.
Shark Word* reign in Alaska
politics vras a singular product of
lu<k, pulli *nd Insolent*. Though
he has more than ordinary ability
a* a lawyer he has none at all aa
n politician. The eulogies passed
upon his skill In politics by para
sites and tiTne-servers are sheer
rubbish. He had a drag In Alaska
politics solely because he was a
Taft agent In the territory. He had
so little following in Juneau, where
he lived !for years, that he did not
dare to (tail a public primary ' to
elect delegates to republican con
ventions. He simply called his
satellites quietly Into his office and
labelled the meeting a primary.
The m?4hods which lifted Shaek
I leford to the top In Alaaka politics
j would constitute forgery and per
j Jury In a legal proceeding. Being
! a protege of (Jov. Hoggatt, who wss
a protege of Roosevelt, compelled
I his admisnlon to the national con
| volition of 1908 though three-fourths
jof the republicans of Alaska were
opposed to him and his faction,
j Backed by the Morgan helm syndl
j eate and other corporations he re
tained th?i favor of Taft, as Hog
| gatt with the same pull had held
the ear of Roosevelt. And that
is why Louis Shack has been pa
tronage dealer and nominal boss
of the republican party of Alaska
for four y>?ars.
j The final disappearance of Hog
j icatt and Shackleford from Alasks
j will doubtless open the way for a
j union of republican factions in the
I territory. Hoggatt split the party
and Shackleford perpetuated the
lireach With the malodorous hur
' den drop fed the party can sheer
j off to the windward and in less
j tainted altr Its fragments may coal

Miss Brown was giving an elaborate
description of a blacksmith prepara
tory to teaching l.ongfellow'a poem to I
her pupils:
"Now. children, we are going to learn (
a poem ti>day about some one who |
works very hard He Is very large and
has great arms that can lift such
heavy things. Ills face is blackened ;
with soot that comes from bis great
biasing flrps. And he wears a dirty ;
black apron, nnd he has a fire that
glow*, oh. so red. and whenever he
makes anything be puts it into his Are
and tbeu ipounds it with a great big
hammer, which makes the loudest
clanging noise and makes the sparks |
fly about in every direction. Now.

scribing?"
A little maid wbo had listened to
these vivid details with eyes twice

and said in an awed whisper:
"The devil!"? Housekeeper.
Did Hi? Work Too Well
While It Is do ens7 matter for * [
violin maker to rival the famous j
Stradlvarics Instruments. an American j
maker once did this. and did It In so
effective a manner tbat experts pro

Gemunder. who died some years ago
His remarkable ability as a maker of
violins wa? known to many a dlstln

menyt am!! WllhelmJ, but he achieved
! ? so runs the story? his greatest sue
cess at the last Paris exposition. To
that exhibition he sent an Imitation
Stradlvariiis and to test Its merits
, had It pluced on exhibition as the
genuine article. A committee of ex
perts carefully examined the Instru
ment and pronounced 't a Stxadlvarius. ;
j So far Gemunder's triumph was com- !
plete. but now came a difficulty. When
, he claimed tbat it was not an old vio
lin. but a new one. made by himself,
the committee would not believe him.
