A TRAP GUI WAS
THIS CABIN
Somewhere in the Tolovana there
is a man who Is unworthy to be railed
such. Certainly he is not an Alas
kan. Surely he does not know the
first rudiments of the laws of hu
Imanity. Without any feelings, with
jout any sense of shame, he must live
the life of an outlaw and a hermit,
for no man who knew him would dare
to speak to him in public if the pub
lic knew who he was. This man Is
the man who lives in a lonely cabin,
away from the world, the only shel
ter for miles around.
To this little cabin on the banks
of the Tolovana river two weary
mushers plodded not so very long
ago. They knew' that they would
find shelter for the night, and as
they did not have the necessary
tools with which to slwash it, they
made an extra long mush to reach
this haven of shelter.
But what did they find there They
found tacked on the door a sign.
That sign informed the reader that
there was set on the inside of the
cabin a trap gun, and that the first
man who opened the door would lose
his head for doing so.
This is not a fair sample of the
Alaskan prospector or trapper or
miner or anyone Alaskan. This is
not even a fair sample of a human
being. Had the night been a bitter
cold one, had the biting north wind
been blowing those two Alaskans who
mushed many miles to seek shelter
might have perished from cold, or
might have been driven to taking a
ohon/»A tirwl > 1 I n t IVia a# a
gun.
Whether there was In that cabin
a loaded gun ns the sign said there
was or not. Is Immaterial. The
thoueht la there, and the man who
put that sign there would put the gun
behind it to back up the sign. The
spirit Is there, and everyone knows
that Is not the Alaskan spirit.
If Captain E. J. Smythe and his
traveling companions had been forced
to slwash It In 40 below zero weather
they might have destroyed the cabin.
As It Is they slept under the heavens
that night and mushed on, leaving
the sign where they found It, unmo
lested, a monument to a brute mas
querading as a man, but who will
never, and never can. be considered
as an Alaskan.

ASSEMBLY ACT REDUCING FEES
UPHELD BY COURT.
That the Territorial Legislature has
the right to regulate the filing fees
charged by Record's for entering
documents such as proofs of labor
for assessment work, and that the
law passed by the last legislature Is
valid, was the decision of Judge Rob
ert Jennings.
The legislature, It will be remem
bered, materially reduced the fees to
be received for recording documents,
especially those charged for proofs
of labor op association mining claims.

death grip, they find out the latest
methods of resuscitation rrom Dr. D.
C. Hall, director of physical educa
tion. The use of the lung motor is
also taught the students.

ALASKA COMMITTEEMEN WILL
SEND PROXIES.
Zina R, Cheney, of Juneau. Demo
cratic National Committeeman for
Alaskn, will he unable to attend the ■
meeting of the national committee In '
Washington. December 7. for busi
ness reasons. It was learned his
proxy will be held by J. Bruce Kre
nter, of Butte, the committeeman for
Montana. Mr. Cheney favors Dallas,
Texas, as the place for holding the
national convention, and Mr. Kremer
j will be so instructed.
Our former townsman, William S.
Bayless, Republican National Com
mittee for this territory, will not go
to Washington to attend the G. O ,P.
meeting on December 14. and the
proxy will be held by Wilford B.
Hoggatt, of Summit, New Jersey, for
mer governor of Alaska
Chicago will undoubtedly be the
Republican convention city, and the
contest for the Democratic conven
tion likely will be waged by St.
i Louis and Chicago, although Dallas
i has appropriated $100,000 to cam
| paign for It and may win out. The
| national committees decide where!
! the conventions shall be held. I
