FOURTH AND C STREETS
Indian Leads
Exploring Tour
Into Alaska
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 10.
—Unusual interest in the expedition
of the Pennsylvania University Muse
um, which has just started for Alas
ka, is occasioned by the fact that it
is headed by an Indian and his Indian
wife. The enterprise, which has for
its object the collection of ethnological
specimens from the Indian tribes of
Alaska, is called the John Wanamaker
expedition and is financed by him. The
Indian in charge of it is Louis Shot
ridge, son of a chief of the Chilkat
tribe. Both he and his wife, who is
also a Chilkat and the daughter of a
well-known medicine man of the
tribe, have been educated in mission
schools in Alaska and have worked
for several years at the university
mission, where they have been idott
ed for the work they are now engaged
in, and have assisted in arranging In
dian collections.
Mr. and Mrs. Shotridge are highly
intelligent. Mrs. Shotridge is an ac
complished pianist and possesses an
Excellent singing voice. They speak
very good English anil have studied
ethnology and anthropology. The
present expedition is not their first
trip to Alaska for the museum. About
18 months ago they were sect to
make advanced studies of the lang
uago, manners and customs of the
many Chilkat tribes from the present
perspective of their higher education.
They did not, however, engage in
the work they are now undertaking
and it is believed that it is the first
expedition ever sent out under the
leadership of American Indians.
In their first trip they were so suc
cessful that on their return the mu
seum began to plan the present expe
: dition. They took with them a pho
nograph, and obtained information
which it is doubtful a white man
could have obtained. This included
ancient myths, religious beliefs and
other interesting data which we'e
taken down in the native Indian
tongue and have since been translated
into English by Mr. and Mrs. Shot
ridge.
On the completion of this work,
Mr. Wanamaker, who is vice-presi
dent of the museum, came forward
with an offer to extend the scope of
their work throughout Alaska in the
collection of specimens, a large
amount of material made by the In
dians in the stone age being still
available, it is believed. It was Mr.
Wanamaker, also, who purchased for
the university museum the famous
Eskimo collection from the Copper
mine region, the laud of Stefansson’s
blond Eskimos.
Killing of Bad
Man Is Recalled
(Juneau Dispatch).
Robert Reed, foe of bad men and
the man who established the law and
order at Tenakee with a big “L” and
“O" is in Juneau registered at the
Circle City Hotel. Reed is the man
who laid Smith away with a well
directed shot from a shot gun loaded
with buckshot. Smith was the bad
man of that section and was gun
ning for Reed when he stubbed his
toe.
Old timers remember Norman
Smith and Robert Reed. Smith was
an athlete, gambler and pesperado.
He opened a blind pig at Tenakee
and announced his intention of run
ning that small burg. Two men op
posing his ways were later found
dead. Eventually he took a violent
dislike to unassuming Robert Reed,
a clerk in the Snyder store. One ev
ening he started with the avowed
purpose of shooting up the establish
ment. Unfortunately for Smith, and
lucky for the community, Reed was
Johnny-at-the-rat-hole with a shot
gun full of buckshot. What he did
to Smith was appalling. He evident
ly pulled both barrels because Smith
was the next day decorated with
“gates ajar."
Reed refused last evening at the
hotel to duscuss the shooting. He
is an unassuming chap, rarely talks
and would pass anywhere for a
Sunday school teacher. He was tried
and not found wanting when Tenakee
needed a funeral.
WICKERSHAM IS

thorizing the city of Juneau to vote
upon the question of issuing $75,000
in municipal bonds with which to se
cure money to erect a school building.
Alaskans to
Be a Strong
Mental Race
(Juneau Dispatch)
“The climate of Alaska will trim
the unfit, making the greatest race of
people on the North American conti
nent,’’ declared Dr. H. Waldo Coe,
general superintendent of the Morn-,
ingside Sanatorium, Portland, Ore
gon, to the Dispatch last evening.
Doctor Coe makes this observation
after 12 years’ study of the Ala. lw I
ipsnne in conm -t, >n with his work as j
consulting alienist for the Oregon !
state insane asylum, where the Aask.i
insane were confined for some years,
and later as superintendent of the I
private institution now contracting for j
the care of the Alaska insane.
Dr. Coe, accompanied by his w fe,
| is in Juneau, a guest at the Gastbieau
hotel. He comes north to consult the
medical fraternity and talk with rela
tives of insane patients at Portland,
and generally get first hand informa
tion regarding Alaska, its people and
conditions.
He warmly defends his sanitarium
I as a proper pla"1 for the care of the
j Al< ska insane, lie ponls with pi Me
to the statistics compiled by the gov
ernment. These statis' cs show a dis
chaige percentage of 41. The mil
age percentage for state institutions
is 30.
Dr. Coe also points out the rigid
inspection of the sanitarium. The con
tract with the war department and
| marine service calls for examination
almost semi-monthly. Medical ex
perts go from coast points continual
ly unannounced to inspect the sani
tarium.
Dr. Coe leaves Juneau on the next
westward steamer for a trip along
the coast as far as Anchorage. On his ,
return to Juneau he will be pleased to
talk ' ith any relatives or friends re
garding Alaska patients at the sani
tarium.

CHARGE
JUNEAU—The important an
nouncement that IJ. L. Thane was to
1 remain as the resident general mana
1 ger of the Alaska Gold mines prop
erties in Alaska, was made last even
ing by Col. D. C. Jackling, managing
director, and Chas. Hayden, president
of the Alaska Gold company. These
officials finished their inspection trip
and departed for Seattle last night.
Mr. Thane’s contract with the big
mining syndicate expired in May. It
had been rumored he would retire ear
ly this fall to take a position as con
sulting engineer. During the recent
visit of the company officials the mat
ter was discussed and Mr. Thane de
cided to remain.
Although Mr. Thane has refused to
discuss the matter for publication,
close friends declare he remains on
recount of his desire to be a factor
,r. the development of Alaska. Mr.
Thane has during the past year orga
nized an independent syndicate for the
purpose of sending prospecting par
ties into the more promising mineral
sections of the territory. Fifteen
thousand dollars of private funds
have been spent in this work, and it
is expected the results will be of
general benefit to the entire territory.
The departing officials of the com
pany paid Mr. Thane and staff of the
Alaska Gold company a high compli
ment. They were greatly pleased with
the work done and under way.
I As far as known there will be no
1 changes in the operations of the com
! pany properties. The mine and mill
staffs have been very carefully re
cruited and the result is satisfactory.
Albert Hansen and Louis Trafflit,
who pleaded guilty to the charge of
illegal voting at Ruby, were fined $100 i
and costs recently by the district court
at that place.
