THEY'RE HAVING TROUBLE
The; are having all manner of trouble
down at '.ne Standing: Kocic Indian
Agency. Korty-two Indiats have ap
plied for divorce and the end is nowhere
In sight. Jenning Running Deer has
dltxi ? complaint in which she alleges
that cn a recent occasion the lord of her
tepee arrived at their domicile, accom
panied by a targe sized jag. After be
laboring her with an axe handle Mr.
Hunning Deer informed ber that it
behooved her to reduce the number of
her visits with other ladies of the tribe.
He suggested a rigid compliance with
the simple life for her and intimated,
having purchased a cortln as the results
jf the sale of his horse, that arrange
ments were at that moment on the tapis
tor her early funeral. Ella Laughing
Water i* also in the throes of domestic
complications. Hercomplaint sets forth
that Mr Laughing Water has deserted
her for Miss Simple Thunder and re
fuses to maintaiu her. In the case of
Mr. Walking Bear, however, the pract
ice of the bucks lording over the squaw
ladies was all upset. In fact Mr. Walk
ing Bear himself was upset, for failing
to show up one evening recently, Mrs.
Walking Bear set out to tiud him and
discovered Mr. Walkiug Bear in a
poker game. She landed on him with
a pot of boiling water with which the
Indians had been depending to supply
hot water for their toddi.'s during the
progress of the game. Evidently Mrs.
Walking Hear was of a strenuous dis
position. for having connected ber hus
band's late hours with the poker game,
she promptly connected him and the
other members of the evtnings enter
tainment with the balance of :hc hot
water and thereafter calmly proceeded
to confiscate the baok roll of the game.
At that the complications did not end

The ladun Agent h?u planted a large
amount ot corn this >ear anil hope J for
the Indians assistance in harvesting it,
but most of the bucks are leaving the
reservation, for a late arrival at the
agency is a female Indian Kigbts agent,
who is telling the squaws what their
rights are, and she has so arranged
matters now that the bucks are so busy
harvesting their domestic troubles that
they hive no time to harvest corn and
that e^celleot new WPhas [he ^

"Jo a statement at Dawson, Governor
H**au, of Alaska, is credited with

'?.vJr. Waskey, congressional delegats
froai Alaska, told congress last winter
that the Ala?kans were almost u^ani
uous in demanding a territorial form
of government for the northern
country. Mr. L'ale, the present con
gressional delegate, says the same
thing. It is very generally believed
that these delegates have correctly
represented A askan sentimca', for, in
eaoh 3ase, the electors of Alaska in
fracted them specifically to urge upon
the central government the importance (
ax-u absolute need of local self-govern- S

Is a vital question. .V0 other territory I
1? tne whole history of this republic
has been treated with such scant Gen
eration by the federal government I
? Alaska. The people of Alaska do not I
"rely wish a territoria. form of *07- j ]
ernruent: they demand It, aud Gov.Hog
gatt, does not, in any sense, represent
them when he says they are satisfied
with the meiurre annual allowance now
voted Alaska by the oentral govern
ment.
"Alaska U paying dearly for every
dollar the territory receives (roui the
federal treasury, and it is a burden I
American citizens ought not be requir
ed to bear. Whether Gov. Hoggatt
wishes it or not, Alaska should te made
a territory."
Governor Hoggat bases his views on
the idea, th.*t because Alaska gets a
million dollar* a year for the purpose
of sustaining her present deplorable
form of government, its inhabitants
are willing that their rights be taken
from them, But with Alaskaus it is not
a case of "The jingling of the guinea
heals the hurt that honor feels." We
want some independence.
ARC DANGEROUS
At the next meeting of the city coun
cil it is to be hoped that something
may be done towards the removal of
the shacks about town that not only are
eyesores bui a danger to the property
that is occupied. The Alaskan appre
ciates very thoroughly that all these
places have owners and that the own
ers are loath to tear them down
because, while they are no source of
revenue while standing, they will be
tbe means of causing an expense if
torD down.
It is not the intention of this
newspaper to serve the part, of a town
scold but every lime the dispatches
bring tidings of tire disasters in other
towns? there was one in Snohomish
Wednesday night? it recalls to mind
that Skagway is taking lon? chances
in permitting: these Gre traps to stand.
