LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY
Tomorrow, February 12. is the anni
versary of the birth of Abraham Lin
coln. the great emancipator, who was
assassinated by Booth in the old Ford
Theatre, April 14, 1865.
Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth
president of the United States, born I
in Harlan County, Ky. Feb. 18, 1S09;
a son of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy
Hanks Lincoln. The Lincoln family,
suffered great from poverty, a com
mon complaint at that time even when
the woods and the fullness thereof I
was theirs for the taking. The pres-!
idem in discussing the region said it
was one of the roughest and poorest j
in the state. “No qualifications were
expected of a teacher save reading,;
writing and arithmetic. If a stranger
straggled into the district who was
supposed to understand Latin he was
looked upon as a wizard of learning.” j
Lincoln was a flatboatman on the;
rivers for several \ears, where a man
to take care of his own had to be
“half boss and half alligator,” and of
all the rough crowd, his fellow' boat
men say Lincoln was the best man
with his hands and his feet that ever
cordelled a Hat boat against the Miss
issippi current. He was an expert in
the backwoods style of wrestling and '
fighting, and his gaunt frame had the |
strength ol a Samson.
Lincoln ran for numerous offices in
his younger days and was invariably
defeated. His campaign with Steph
en Douglas, the Democratic states-:
man first brought him into national
prominence. Lincoln being outspoken
against slavery, and a brilliant debat
er for abolition. When the republi
can party organized in the nation,
Lincoln took his place at its head in
Illinois, and in 1858, was selected as
the antagonist to Mr. Douglas for el
ection to the Illinois senate. In this
campaign he uttered the brilliant,
pregnant and prophetic wTords: “A
house divided against itself cannot.,
stand. I believe this government can i
not endure permanently half slave and
half free. I do not expect the Union
to be dissolved; I do not expect the j
house to fall. It will become all one;
thing or another. Either the opponents J
of slavery will arrest the spread of
Liberty

it, and place it where me pumic minu
shall rest in the belief that it is in
the course of ultimate extinction, or
its advocates will push it forward un
til it shall become alike lawful in all
states, old as well as new; North as
well as South.”
Lincoln by his brilliant oratory ami
solid presentment of facts, showed
that Douglas’ position was untenable,
in one terse sentence: “Judge Doug
las holds that a thing may be lawiul
ly driven away from a place where it
has a lawful right to go.”
Lincoln was nominated for the pre
sidency in May, I860, over Wm. Sew
ard. The election took place Nov. 6,
and the electoral college gave him 180
votes, Breckinridge, 72; Bell, 39, and
Douglas 12. The popular vote stood
for Lincoln, 1 375,157; Breckinridge,
847,953.
Lincoln took his seat March 4, 1861.
TAKI ON PEIS:
“The story of the wondms of the
animal and bird life of the Far North
has not half been 'ohl,” declares
Jack Leach, pioneer trader and taxi
dermist from Deal Horse Alaska,
who is at the HoL i Ranier Grand,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
His remarks were prompted by the
stories of the poicupi.ie owl. ice wee
vil and the web-looted cat recently re
lated by returning sourdoughs. Mr.
Leach added to Aiaskun history a
vivid word picture of the appearance
and habits of the ski-horned moun
tain sheep, a very rare species, in
habiting mountain fastnesses of the
Arctic and Northtru \Uska
“Anyone who has never seen this
strange beast will say, ‘There ain't
no such animal,” he said. “ As I
am probably the only man that has
ever viewed this quadrupped at close
range, you can see readily that I
face some difficulty in convincing nat
uralists of the geouiness of my discov
er
, Skiing To the Bar,
‘‘In the old Bonanza (lays t heard
a number of prospectors, just in
from remote Arctic wastes, swear
that they had seen sheep flying thru
the air with their own eyes. Of course
the story appeared preposterous. That
was when Alaska was wide open and
I made allowances. Especially since
they hesitated to tell of the sight un
til they had made several visits to the
bar. I am now convinced that they
were partly right. They had seen ski
horned mountain sheep engaged in
play.
“I saw my first sheep of this spec
ies on April 1 last year. This date
will also prove an obstacle in con
vincing scientific men of my discov
ery. I was crossing the Skookum
Charley Range in the Uppen Porcu
pine district when I saw tracks of a
mountain sheep. Reaching the sum
mit, I came upon an animal by sur
prise. The body was that of a moun
tain sheep, but the horns, instead ol
surling upward curved downward, al
most to the animal’s feet and extend
ed for quite a distance straight to
ward the hind legs.
Baa-a-a! Two Baa-a-as
“The horns, instead of being cir
cular, appeared to be flat. Whih
I was wondering how the animal couh
get about with these awkward acces
sories, the sheep spied me, and, a:
quick as a flash got on his knees
doubling up his legs and resting then
on the upper side of the horns. Wit!
a triumphant ‘ba-a’ the sheep thei
started skiing down the mountaii
side. At the foot of the hill was
hummock. The sheep struck this, sho
300 feet in the air, and landed twc
thirds up the side of another hill. H
quickly stepped off his skiis, turne
around and gazed at me. I could tain
ly hear his taunting ba-a.
“I started after him. When I ha
reached the floor of the valley he sk
ied, again, and catapulted through th
air 200 or 300 feet above me. I fire
as he flew through the air, but he wa
playing with me and gave up th
quest. I saw only one other, and th£
