According to advices received
from Fairbanks today, a slight
jrise in the level of the water
‘ in the slough has been noted this
, morning and it is thought that it
may be possible for the Xenana
launches to dock at Fairbanks in
I the future.
The gauge at the White Pas«
I dock indicated that there is stiffi
j eient water over the bars in the
jslough to permit of the passage
| of the steamers, and accordingly, an
! attempt will be made to bring the
(Steamer Tanana up to the dock at
Fairbanks.
Indications point to the fact that
a further rise in the .water level
may be expected, and the White
Pass officials are confident that
j their steamers will be able to make
| Fairbanks.
RAGES OF MANY
! CLIMES GATHER
IN CREEK CITY
SALONIKI.—The American visi
! tor finds here an extraordinary mix
| ture of races, tongues, beliefs and
; customs. Saloniki is literally a
1 mcdting-pot of humanity. No other
■ city in the world, unless it be one
| of the great American centers, is
| so thoroughly cosmopolitan. Greeks,
| Mongols, Turks, Slavs, Teutons,
j Italians and Europeans mingle, and
j each understands the language of
| the other. The market place is
| a babel of tongues. The lowliest
| street peddler speaks at least four
j languages.
But these diverse races mingle
j together only for business purposes,
jin their religious beliefs, aspira
tions and sentiments a great gulf
separates them. Each has a differ
ent ideal and a distinct viewpoint
of life. In Macedonia all religions
are tolerated- Saloniki, or Thessa
lonica, as it was called in early
times, is said to have been the door
by which Christianity entered Eu
rope. Indeed, devout residents re
late with pride that it was here
the Apostle Paul, after having evan
gelized Syria and Asia Minor, came
to preach the gospel to the unbe
lievers of Macedonia.
The money-changer has been a
fixture in Saloniki from time im
memorial. During the war he
reaped a rich harvest on the fluc
tuating value of the currency of
the wat-affected countries. The
American dollar was the only cur
rency that he could not buy at a ]
profit. It resisted all the vicissi-:
tudes and varying fortunes of the'
war and held steadily at 100 cents
when all the other money of the
world was fluctuating.
Saloniki is essentially a Jewish
city, for there are more than 100,
000 Jews who make their homes,
here. They control the bulk of the
business. About 80 per cent of
them are Spanish Hebrews whose
ancestors were driven from Spam;
by Ferdinand and Isabella in the
fifteenth century. To indicate th“
wide diversity of other races, how I
ever, it is sufficient only to say
that there are five Greek newspa
pers. seven Spanish-Hebrew. four
French, three Serbian, one Turkish,
and one English. The lone English
newspaper is published by the Brit-!
ish army for the use of its men n I
the Levant.
If the Apostle Paul could come
to Saloniki today he probably would
preach to the Thessalonians a gos
pel of cleanliness as well as of
piety, for dirt seems to be an in-:
separable part of the city and >f
the people. Hygienic and sanitary
methods, as the Allied military au
thorities soon learned, are woefully

primitive. During: the allied oc
cupation thousands of British,
French, Italian, and Serbian soldiers
succumbed to malaria, typhoid and
other diseases arising from lack of
drainage and sanitation Through
all the centuries plagues and epi
demics have visited the city and
carried off thousands of its inhab
itants. Being on the principal thor
oughfare from .Via into Europe,
Saloniki has been the means of
spreading Asiatic cholera into towns
washed by the Mediterranean. The
city itself has suffered great losses
of life through this great scourge.
The launch Siwash, owned and
operated by Dr. J. A. Sutherland,
arrived at Xenana yesterday eve
ning, bound for Tanana. and sailed
after about an hour's stay here.
Dr. A. A. Kenison disembarked at
N'enana and will stay here for a
few days.
The party on board was com
posed of Dr. Sutherland, Frank A.
Clark, and Charles L. Thompson.
The launch is on a combined busi
ness and pleasure trip and will
make her way down river in leisure
ly fashion.
She will probably be back in
Xenana on the return journey in
about two weeks.

The natives of Alaska are awak
ing to the advantages of educa
tion. and are now aspiring to be
teachers. Wm. T. Lopp, chief of
the Alaska bureau of education,
says that to be teachers themselves
among their own people is a posi
tion for which large numbers of
the now natives are aspiring. There
are now 17 native teachers in Alas
ka.
One of the best reports received
from the teachers of the govern
ment schools throughout the terri
tory was from a native boy who is
a teacher at Cape Prince of Wales.
“When one takes into account the
progress made by these people in
the last few years it is little short
of remarkable," said Wm. T. Lopp,
chief of the Alaska bureau of edu
cation.
