“FULL TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT” BALDERDASH
The Juneau Empire, commenting upon a paragraph in The Pioneer
suggesting that Alaska itself should be allowed to pass upon the ques
tion of whether or not prohibition should be enforced in t.'ie territory,
says:
Why not he consistent, and join in an rtT- >rt to seen re a “full territorial form of
government for Alaska?” Constant complain: about the manner of government that is
meted out to Alaska from Washington come- with poor grace from those who oppose
self-government for tl territory. They are doing the best they know at the national
capital, and they are ready to i urn the gov-u mu- m over to the people of Alaska when
ever the people ask for it.
Those who doubt the correctness of the closing sentence of the
above-quoted paragraph probably will be excused. 1 here are few
residents of the territory, we would imagine, who oppose self-govern
ment for the territory.” But there are large numbers who want to
know what this new form of government which is being loudly called
lor by a few political organs consists cf. 1 he Juneau Dispatch is
among those who arc looking for information upon tne subject, and
says: “Apparently, judging by the tone of some of the criticisms, all
the delegate needs to do is to simply submit a bill to congress for a full
territorial form of government,’ and presto! change! as though by
magic, the thing is accomplished." hi answer io which the Empire
makes the following somewhat hazy retort :
Ye-, “all the dole ::ale mod- to do i- -imply to submit a bill to (-'metre-- for a 'full
territorial form of government,' " mid ad; hi g faith for it- |.a*age. C ongress has
passed many "full territorial government bills." There are a score or so of them on the
federal statute books as nearly alike a- peas tu the -am 1 pod. The Alaska organic act
would serve as a fair model if the delegate \* mid go through it and t.'ce out the bmita
liens he put in it that were not m the organic acts for the other territories, and which
prevent our government fr, m being a “ttill territorial form of government.
Taking it for granted that the form of government enjoyed by
the Territory of Washington prior to statehood, and which has been
mentioned in the present controversy, would be satisfactory to tne
advocates of a “full territorial form of government,” it is hardly con
ceivable that such a plan of government is practicable for this territory,
or that, even if it were practicable, it would meet with favor in the
eyes of the residents of Alaska. Among the many privileges enjoyed
by that territory was a system of courts which in itself would tax the
resources of a territory such as Alaska to maintain. Justices or the
peace, superior courts and supreme court—all were provided, to
gether with their attendant constables, bailiffs''and various other offi
cials. The territory was divided into counties, each with its own quota
of salaried officials. To all intents and purposes the Territory of Wash
ington enjoyed sovereignty except that the territorial officials were ap
pointed from Washington and its legislation was approved or disap
proved by the national congress. Is the Territory of Alaska prepared
for such a system of government as that? While it would no doubt
suit the petiv politicians to have the many political plums to fight for,
whence would come the revenue to support the system? and, in fact
the population to justify it?
The present legislature probably will be prevailed upon to memorial
ize congress for a “full territorial form of government. There should
by all means be an understanding of -'/hat this proposed system is to
consist before such folly is perpetrated. If the advocates of the plan
be in earnest, and their plans will bear the light of day, why not en
lighten the people of the territory as to what may be expected m the
event that congress heeds their appeal?

THE HYPHENATED AMERICAN AGAIN
The present war in Europe has called the attention of the country
to the fact that the mere act of issuing naturalization papers to a for
eign-born applicant does not necessarily make an American citizen of
him. It has also revealed a condition not heretofore generally known,
namely, that the subjects of at least one foreign government retain
their former nationality even after becoming citizens of the United
States for a period of ten years, according to one supposed authority,
and for an admitted period of two years. Such a condition cannot
but cause alarm as to the consequences in case this country were at
war with the nation in question. The subject has created a great deal
of discussion, and naturally the question as to how far a man’s loyalty
to his native land will influence him is a question of considerable im
portance. A Prof. Steenerson of Chicago recently discussed the ques
tion of America’s relation to European countries in intelligent and patri
otic manner, and protested against the formation of societies and clubs
in this country made up exclusively of natives of any European coun
try or natives of such country and their descendants. He said that
the best way for those who hail from any other country to demon
strate the high quality of their race is to be good American citizens,
and they cannot be the best American citizens if they belong to semi
political organizations formed for the propagation of clannishness. He
said there was grave danger that the various organizations formed for
the control of the votes of the different nationalities in this country,
and for the purpose of securing the election to office of particular
candidates because of their race would resuit in the birth of a “Know
nothing” or American parlv. “It would be only natural, he said,
“if we are to have ‘German-American, Itaiian-American, Swedish
American.’ Trish-American’ and the various other kinds of American
political and semi-political organizations that we should have Arneri
can-American' societies.” He complimented the sobriety and the good
sense of the American people that they have good-naturedly tolerated
“this growing disposition of foreign-born people to group by them
selves politically and otherwise as long as they have.”
The speaker said the matter assumed grave importance when so
many of the countries of Europe were at war. Now, he sa d, would
be a capital time for Americans of all races to prove themselves to be
the right kind of citizens by dropping all prefixes.”
There is no doubt that the existence of the organizations spoken of
by the professor is not altogether an unmixed blessing. They are bound
to breed prejudice and bias and to make their existence felt in fields
that ought to be immune from such influences. As an instance, it
may be said that in the recent elections the fact that a gubernatorial
candidate in the East failed to poll his fuii party strength was attributed
t to the fact that his sympathies were known to be with one side of tne
j present European conflict.
THAT ROAD BILL
The extremes to which certain newspapers will go in their efforts to
belittle and discredit the work of Delegate Wickersham is illustrated
in the following from the Fairbanks Times, in reference to the road bill
recently introduced by Mr. Wickersham, and which it takes as an ex
cuse for objecting to the measure:
If the bill passes in i: •• present form, the territorial legislature will “exercise legislative
control over the expenditure of all license funds collected both within and without in
corporated towns,” and undoubtedly could make a different apportionment of the money
which, under the present law, must be paid into the municipal treasury by the federal
government.
Section 2 of the bill under discussion provides as follows:
That on and after July 1. 1910, all moneys derived from and collected for liquor
licences, occupation or trade licenses outside of incorporated towns in the Territory oi
Alaska shall be deposited in the treasury of the Territory of Alaska, to be wholly devoted
to the purposes hereinafter stated in said territory, etc.
to the purposes hereinafter stated in said territory, etc.
When Editor Thompson of the Fairbanks News-Miner starts on a
boosting campaign he appears to be in his natural element. He has
taken up the cause of the Belgian relief fund, and the influence of his
newspaper is being used to wonderful effect. Ihe advertising matter
he publishes on the subject is classical in its way. The results have
been gratifying, and more than $500 has been raised through this
means for the ‘flour fund. As elsewhere, the knockers have beet,
in evidence, with the suggestion that there is a bread line in New
York longer than was the bread line of last year, and that all of the
suffering is not confined to Belgium. The News-Miner, says: There
is no law to prevent them from starting a relief flour fund for the poor
of New York city. That would be the right way to get at their relief—
much better than to ‘knock’ some other flour fund. The answer to
such a play might be that New York can take care of its own poor, just
as it is doing, and just as Fairbanks is doing. There is no law or regu
lation existing whereby Fairbanks, Belgium, Great Britain, France, Ger
many or any other country cannot send relief to the New York poor,
while the starving millions of Belgium are allowed help from nowhere
but the United States.”_
The election frauds brought to light in Illinois are likely to result in
the seat of “Uncle joe” Cannon in the forthcoming congress being
contested by Frank P. O’Hair of Paris, who was defeated by Cannon.
It is charged that in Danville and Vermillion county 2,000 votes were
bought, that “milk tickets” were given for votes, and that in Paris
$ 15,000 was used corruptly to buy votes. It would indeed be a sad
blow to “Uncle Joe,” that great apostle of upright citizenship, were he
to be unseated for bribery. _

Kooyanna’s
Story
By
C. Edward Cone
TWO days the river steamer Dancer
plowed her way up the Kuskokwim,
ihrough the mighty, swirling spring
Hood. At half-past 10 o’emei: in the even
ing she shrieked long am! lo id and pointed
her nose toward a distant .-p«'t where a scat
tering little hamlet at perched high on a
cut-bank near a small confluent. I, with
a number of others, began getting my
worldly effects together, as that particular
dot on the map indicate ! the end of our
journey, as far as the >teamer Dancer was
concerned. The hamlei hud been named
Boulctte, for two reasons. The first and
main reason was that there were not
enough letters, nor the right kind of letters,
i.i the English alphabet to spell the half
Itussian, half-Eskimo name it had previously
borne. The second reason was that one
Roulette had discovered coarse gold at the
head of the aforementioned confluent.
When the steamer had been finally made
fast alongside of the cut-bank, and a ladder
set up, we climbed off, and then I met
tvooyanna.
Kooyanna is in her simple way a manu
facturer, and also her own distributor. She
makes sealskin mukluks, mooseskin and car
ibou-skin moccasins, leggings, mittens and
gauntlet gloves, and also face nets for pro
tection against the mosquitos. There were
other squaws with the same commodities
for barter, but Kooyanna’s distinction lay in
the fact that she had no feel, both lower
extremities having been amputated half way
between thp ankles and the knees. It is
the story of how she lost her feet that I
shall try to tell as nearly as I can, having
geaned it piece by piece from Kooyanna
her.-elf, and from, some trappers and a
trader on the upper Kuskokwim. 1 had
not come to Boulette for a story. Writing
stories is a sort of habit I have acquired,
my regular vocation being mining and pros
pecting, and lying about mines and pros
pect-. But upon hearing that an old ac
quaintance from the Yukon was making a
regular business of freighting and carrying
passengers to the supposed-to-be digging-.
1 concluded to wait for him. Kooyanna’s
pleasant face and rather bright manner,
combined with her serious misfortune, in
terested me. and I set to work to learn
how she had come by her mishap. Little
could be learned from th'* other natives
except that her feet had been frozen. The
natives are very uncommunicative in regard
to thc-ir own annirs. 1 learned ironi rne
trader, however, that she had had her feet
frozen about five years before, and that it
had happened away up toward the head of
the Kiiskokwim. And also that a white
mart had brought her down to the Mo
ravian mission, near the mouth of the river.
These few details, meager as they were,
added to my curiosity, and I set patiently
to work to get the story from Kooyanna
herseli.
It was a job requiring much patience,
and many unnecessary purchases of her
wares, and many potlatches cf fruit, nuts,
fanev cookies, etc... from the trader’s store
before I gained her confidence. But deep
in her heart Kooyanna was very lonesome,
•she had no relatives, and no lordly buck
had cared to appropriate her services. She
could not tend a fish trop nor pack wood
for the igloo, so she played a lonely game
of life, and when once her confidence had
been gained and she loosened the secret
springs, the story came readily enough.
One evening, after I had bought the
fourth—or was it the fifth -pair of gloves,
I had been sitting in front of her hut. carry
ing on c one-sided conversation with her,
until the sun was getting low and the mos
quitos were coming out of their hiding
I laces and beginning business. She mo
tioned me inside, then lighted a smudge in
the doorway and went to some inner recess
and brought out a little willow basket and
produced a gaudy silk handkerchief nr muf
fler. which she carefully unfolded and dis
closed a small, bright, trinket, which she
handed to me. and said: “I t’ink so him
some kind talk?” It was one of those little
aluminum disks perforated to form a star
in the center, and having a name and ad
dress stamped on the margin. It bore the
legend. “David T-, Seattle, Wash.,
Mav. 1898."
“Man's name. Long time go. Seattle
stop” I said as I returned the trinket to
her hand.
“What name?” she asked.
“Dave T-I replied.
“Yes, Dave. Him talk Dave, that s all;
him goot man! Dave much goot man!
she said, as she gazed at the little disk in
her hand.
“Did he give you those things ? 1 asked.
“Dis he give, dis I find,” she said, indi
cating first the muffler, then the tag.
“You stop I mek tea. You drink tea, den
you lak I mek long talk,” she said. And
so it was I got the tale. I shall not try to
tell it verbatim as it was given me. for
much of it I inferred and much of it I had
from the trader and some trappers farther
up the Kuskokwim. But in substance the
story is as follows:
Kooyanna, in company with her father,
who was very old, had gone up one of
the big tributaries flowing into the Kusko
kwim, and had crossed a divide to the
headwaters of another stream flowing south
and east, and also emptying into the upper
Kuskokwim, or South Fork. And there
the old man had taken sick and died, and
she had been left alone. Winter was well
along before the old man died, and after
burying him as best she could, she set out
to find one of the Indian villages which
she knew to be located on the South Fork.
The rabbits had died off the winter pre
vious, so food was scarce and hard to find.
Not knowing where the village was located,
she had finally become lost. Then, to make
bad matters worse, she broke through the
ice, thus wetting her feet, and in conse
quence froze them both to above the ankles.
She had finally found a deserted trapper’s
cabin and had crawled in there and was
slowly starving to death.
Dave T-, after the manner of his kind,
ever seeking new fields, had come from the
Susitna. country, prospecting up the Yentna
to its source, then pushing on, had crossed
Simpson pass and prospected and trapped
down the Dillinger to the Kuskokwim
(South Fork). On one of his scouts for fur
signs he had struck an old trap line and
followed the blazes to the cabin, and there
found Kooyaima. It was little he could do
for her that day, as his provisions consisted
only of a little tea, a few slices of bread
smeared with moose tallow, a few pieces of
dried caribou meat and a few malted milk
tablets. He rustled a few old tin cans and
made some tea and a soup of the dried
caribou. Soaking the bread in the soup, and
some of the malted milk tablets in warm
water, he fed her a little at a time, staying
with her all the next, day and night to
keep her from eating the whole of the bread
and soup at one time. He himself only ate
a little of the dried meat and drank a I ;<1
of the tea. as he had only brought u fight '
ax and some steel traps, not wishing to he
burdened with a gun in case he should wi.-h
to set some traps. Consequently he had to
make the little grub last her until he could
go to his camp for more.
The morning of the second day he told
her to eat a little of the bread and soup
four nr five times through the day and he
would be back that evening. That day he
made the fifteen miles c r more to his camp,
loaded the major portion of his outfit on
his sled and dragged it back to the cabin,
and was there a little after dark. That |
means that he had snowshoed thirty or j
more miles and dragged a hand-sled heavily ;
loaded one-half of the distance, in about
seven or eight hours.
He found that Kooyanna had obeyed his
instructions so well that there was still some j
of the bread and soup left when he got
back.
The next day he fixed her up a little
more comfortably, went out and shot some
willow grouse, and prepared to nurse her
back to strength enough to undertake the ,
journey to the village, which he judged to j
I e about fifty miles distant. Some of Dave’s 1
traps were a big three days’ travel back, i
And he had done but little trapping thus j
far for the season, is he had been prospect- j
ing all of the earlier part of the winter. He
had little fur. and no money. But it is
doubtful if he gave those things a thought.
The one thing to do was to try to get a
human being to seme kind of relief. Koo
yanna’s feet were black, and beginning to
fester, and her pain was interne. Dave felt
there was no time to lose. He fed her care
fully of such things as his simple larder con
tained, and was thankful to whatever
chance, or providence, had caused him to
buy the malted milk tablets. After a week s
careful nursing he concluded that he would
try to move. Loading such things as were
absolutely necessary—and Kooyanna. care
fully wrapped in a robe on the sled, he
slipped on his big web snowshces, slung the
line across his broad shoulders, and struck
out. Not knowing exactly where the vil
lage was located, and the country also being
strange, he did not dare to try to make any
| short cuts, so he followed the river, l or
three davs. with set teeth and taut muscBs.
; he plowed through the loose snow an<l
! dragged his heavy burden. Fortunately for
Kooyanna, Dave was a strong man. At
almost dark on the third day he heard the
bark of dogs, and with a burst of speed
born of encouragement, he pulled into the
village. He had been in hope of getting
some of the Indians to take her on down to
the Russian mission, but he was doomed to
i disappointment. Kooyanna was an Eskimo.
And furthermore, she belonged to the Mo
J ravioli mission, and they were Russian mis
sion Indians. Possibly, if she had come to
their village alone, they would have done
what they could for her. At least they
would have fed her. But having been
brought there by a white man, she was
strictiv taboo. She spoke their language
only imperfectly, and no amount of ex
planation from Dave would avail. Fie man
aged. however, to trade some ammunition
for a little tea, and they gave him a few
frozen fish. He tried to get a couple of
dogs, but the Indians wanted two or three
prices for them, so he had to abandon
that hope also.
The next morning he started down the
river with a journey of nearly five hundred
miles in front of him, as he now had little
hope of relieving himself of Kooyanna be
fore reaching the Russian mission.
I wish I could tell you of that journey
in Kocyanna’s own words. Or I wish you
could have seen the look in her eyes as she
sat there in the twilight and told me the
story in her simple way.
The weather turned soft before they had
proceeded more than one-third of the dis
tance, and the overflow started. Day after
day Dave dragged his heavy steu along
through a foot of slush snow on top of
the ice, often wading to his knees, and
sometimes to his hips, in the icy water in
overflowed spots. At such times he would
i take lvooyanna in ins arms aim iei me mui
trail behind. His physical strength and en
durance must have been wonderful.
After almost a week of that kind of
j work he told her they must .-.top and wait
for the break-up, as the overflows were be
coming too numerous and too deep. So
they halted and went into permanent t amp
to wait until the ice went out. He was
sorry they could not keep on going, for
Kooyanna was in great pain, and her feet
were in a terrible condition.* While he
waited for the break-up he got some dry
logs together to build a raft, and was thank_
ful that they had gotten down over all ot
the dangerous water, and rafting would be
safe and comparatively comfortable.
Almost a month they waited. Dave shot
ducks and grouse, and they were in no way
near starvation, but the flour and tea were
short, and the sugar and milk tablets all
When the ice finally went out Dave built
the raft and they started on once more.
In a couple of days they came to a village
where there was a trader, and Dave traded
some marten skins for a little nee, sugar,
flour tea, condensed milk and fruit. In
some places, no doubt, grub is cheap and
fur dear. But not on the upper Rusko
kwim It is just the other way about, ho
Dave had to part with several good marten
skins for a very small amount of the above
named luxuries. Having made the ex
change, they drifted on. Six days more
and they landed at the Russian mission,
and Dave thought his life-saving mission
was at an end. But not so. The priest in
charge was a Russian half-breed with large
notions of the dignity of his cloth, but with
very small notions of Christian charity, and
a complete church bigot.
“No, they could not take Kooyanna in
there. She did not belong to their order."
“Yes, he would speak to the natives and
see if some of them would take her on down
to the Moravian mission."
Three able-bodied bucks went down to
the raft and looked at Kooyanna and over
hauled Dave’s outfit. They spied the new
30-.40-ccliber Winchester rifle, and a silver
gray fox skin worth about two hundred dol
lars, and very obligingly offered to take her
mi down for both the rifle and the fox.
Dave, in righteous anger, kicked one of
them off on the shore side of the raft and
the other two off on the river side, picked
up his pole and pushed off for another one
hundred and fifty-mile stretch to where
Kooyannu’s own mission and a good doctor
were situated.
Kooyanna was welcomed at the Moravian
mission, and when the doctor heard Dave's
story he readily offered his services and
amputated her feet without charge.
As he had already spent so much time,
Dave concluded a few days more would
make but little difference in his affairs, so
he waited until after the operation and he
had seen her on a fair road to recovery.
Then he sold the silver-gray fox skin and
bought a light poling boat and a small out
fit. Then he bought the silk muffler and n
few other trifles and gave them to Koo
yanna, in the same manner as he would
have given them to a sick chill. Shaking
hands with her and the missionary and doc
tor. he said good-by. Shrjving his boat out
into the stream, he headed it.' nose up the
river, stuck his pole in the gravel and
pushed off. heading back to the cabin
where he had found Kooyanna and had
cached his traps.
lie had left his own business and made
a trip of nearly seven hundred miles under
the nio.; adverse circumstances. And his
only reward wa.* the consciousness of having
done the right thing. And as far as I
could learn, no one knows his name or
where he went.
Kooyanna found the aluminum disk
among her few clothes and effects which
they brought down on the raft. It had
1’kely fallen out of his pocket some time on
the trip down. I do not think she has ever
shown it to anyone except myself.
Kooyanna is a little Eskimo - juavv But
she is human. And sometimes when it i>
dark and cold, and she is more lonesome
than usual, she will light a candle and take
the >i!k muffler and the lit*ic bright trinket
which she now knows bears his name
out of the little willow bu.-ket, and huddle
down in her rabbit-skin robe and dream of
the big, strong man who went to so mud
trouble to save her life.
The exposure and pain of that trip, com
bimrt with the poor quality m v.ue ioou
upon which .she exists, and the illy-venti
lated hovel in which she lives, have bred
consumption, which is rapidly doing its
fatal work. And some day they will carry
Kooyanna down to the little picketed garden
of crosses and lay her away. Anri the little
willow basket containing her pricele.-s treas
ures will be laid away with her. And that
will be the end of Koovanna's story.
