vocate making it a felony to sell o
give liquor to Indians He will folio'
this up by a personal effort to hav.
the recommendation enacted into a la'
at the next session of congress. Gov
ernor Hoggatt will have the active -u,
port of every well meani g citizeu o
Alaska in securing this cbauge in th
code of Alaska. If there was ever i
curse-ridden country over a proposi
tion it is this territory and the boo
legger. This specimen of depravei
humanity is fast, ruining the Alaska?

zen in it. The present law limiting
the sentence for the offence to ei>
months in the federal jail in no wist
pats to terror the many rum soaked
outcasts who make a practice of tht
Indian liquor truffle. They have in
the past carried on the selling ol
liquor to Indians on a gigantic scale.

peddler and pat a stop to the demoral
izing practice.—Juneau Dispatch.
