i \ho Alaska rwU commission, Uii u
| Uie war department, but enjrely ?ep
erate from the puulic campaign has :
1 made a request tor an, appropriation 1
uiis year amounting to Jl,t>W,00t'. In!
the a^itatiou Uat is being carried j
011 by the public, the sum of $1,000,- j
uuO is asked for yearly ior the next ]
five years. The road commission!
urges a larger proipordjnate approp- j
nation for the fist year because of (
the extra espouse necessary ? during '
the first year on account of surveys
and preliminary work.
Anxious to learn tin* jwrttculare !
of tho Aniak strike, of which re
ports were received from the Jdit-i
arod during the week, William!
Casey wired to IVrt Moores at ;
Flat City. Ho was answered la; 1 1
evening, and from Moor<?' version.!
it is evident that two stories exist,
one that pay has been discovered on
five creeks, and the oth<-r that no
pay has yet been uncovered.
Tom Jackson, one of the "Uttle
Gupps," operators on Flat creek,
was one of the men to make t-he
trip to the new dipeincs, and his
report is that on!v prospects have
been found so far.
A good specimen of a silver-gray
fox is being exhibited by (George
Secaux. a Fairbanks trapper just re
turned from a sojourn at tho head
>f the Delta river. The peJt is a
arge one. full-furred and of a pecul
iarly rusty color, and in the estima
tion of fur-fanciers the skin would
be hard to match in tho fur markets.
Mr. Secauz is vvillin-r to part
with the pelt, but considers that
*ie should receive a pood price, as
the skins in this section, of the
country are extremely rare. He
anticipates a remunerate n approxi
mating $400.
Unless one is abV to secure an
other pelt the exact repl'ca of this,
fur dealers in the city assert, the
=kin -would not brine more thin '
$100.
Billy Hague, the Glacier creek
m usher, who left Dawson Friday for
Glacier, stated that when he was
there, several days a?o, the Indinns
brought fresh reiKirts from the di
vide beyond the Sixtymi'e that the
White Rivers, and Tanai as v ore plan
ning to clean out each other in the
spring, unless the whit* took th*
murderer !n the White River tribe In
charge. Hague gathered the impres
sion, as before, that the Indian? be
lieve the guilty man still at large.
T'jis is not in keeping with the re
port brought to Eagle by Rev. Bur
iess, and published in the News
several days ago. Rev. Burgess said
the Ketch umstocks supposed to be
the tribe referred to by the Indian
visitors to Galder as t >e Tananas.
are satisfied that E. och has been
arrested, and that they will be pleas
ed to let the Jaw take its tourse.
Rev. Burgess believes the Tananae
or Ketchumstocks to> poor to stock
up for a war.
The residents of Fort Macphersan
and vicinity are following up the ef
fort of Bishop Stringer and o'hers to
secure a wireless station for tha*
point. The bishop revolved in the
mail brought from Macpherson by
the police party whi.vh got hi Sunday
the following resolution, which he is
asked to forward to the minister of
the interior: '
To the Honorable the Minister of the
Interior. Ottawa.
Sir: ? The following resolution was
considered and unanimously passed
by a few of the residents of this
district, others adding their signa
tures:
Whereas, This section of country
is much isolated from all parts of
the world, for long periods of time,
the mail service being extremely
meager and unreliable; and.
Whereas, We have observed the
Bishop I. 0. Stringer, of the Yukon,
and others have been making efforts
to secure wirelew communication be.
t ween Dawson and this and other
points in the North;
We. the unders limed, would respeot*
fully state that the matter would re
ceive the support of all, and humbly
pray that the department may see
Its way clear to carry this project
out, and furnish us with means of
communication with the outside.

The old time middles were mere
schoolbovs. All the warships of any
size carried In their regular comple
ments a schoolmaster, whose duty It
was to give the lads as liberal an edu
cation as possible in the odd periods
between strictly professional duties
This rating of schoolmaster was abol
ished. in fact only about twenty years
ago, but after the establishment of the
Naval academy, in 1*11. these officials
devoted their energies to the sailor ap
prentices only, the enlisted boy* of the
forecastle Even these now obtain
their education on shore.
There Is a tradition that the three
brass buttons the midshipman wears
on the sleeve of h's full dress coat dnr
in" his four years at Annapolis origi
nal! a century or more ago. when i
their presence was needed to discour- 1
age the voungstcrs from brushing their
n?es with their sleeve.. This is prob
ably a base slander, modern research
indicating that the bnttons are red.-,
of the days when there was a cuff flap
on the sleeve.
