At tlie personal request of presi
dent Roosevelt Lieutenant Km
tnons, U. S. N., retired, came to
Alaska to inquire into and report
on the question of assisting the
natives. The work is a lul>or of
love with the lieutenant, who lias
spent many years in Alaska, asso
ciating with the natives along the
coast, studying their mode of living
and means of subsistance. There
is probably no one man in Alaska
better versed on the subject than
the lieutenant. He arrived on the
Santa Ana on July ‘24th, and dur
ing his stay has been very ener
getic in picking up every scrap of
information obtainable in regard to
the natives of the Copper river and
Tanuna districts. He lias taken
copious notes, and will later go
down the Yukon to gather further
information on the life of the na
tives of that country. He is very
earnest in his work, and will go
back to Washington prepared to
offer some simple hut effective
methods for the government to
adopt us relief measures. He does
not propose that they shall he sup
ported in idleness, hut rather that
they he instructed to become self
supporting. Among other things
he will recommend, in relation to
the Copper river natives, that, as
there not many of them, they he
gathered together into a colony on
a good piece of agricultural land
and supplied with all the requisites
for farming, including horses and
cattle its well as an instructor. As
salmon will for several years con
tinue to he a necessary article of
food, and in order that their farm
ing season may not he interfered
with in catching fish by the slow.
lalMirious method now in vogue,
the lieutenant will recommend that
a fish wheel be put up on the river
close to the colony. With this they
can secure their supply in a short
time, and the women can clean and
dry them while the men are attend
ing to oilier work. The interior
natives arc very bright and cpiick
to learn, and from our knowledge
of them we believe that they would
take kindly to such a life. They
are a quiet, peaceable race, hut
owing to their manner of living are
not very healthy. A change, such
as will he recommended will alter
this, and to further contribute to
their physical welfare, the lieuten
ant will suggest that a hospital or
dispensary be one of the fcatuics
of the colony. At the present time
the Rev. G. C. Clevenger, so far as
his limited means will permit, is
endeavoring to carry out about the
plan proposed and is accomplishing
much, but it is imphssible fur him
unaided to carry out his plans suc
cessfully along the whole river.
T ie appointment by the presi
dent of .lames H. Young to inves
tigate charge i filed againgt Judge
Wickersham comes as a great sur
prise to the residents of the Third
district. Not alone the appoint
ment of Mr. Young, but that
charges should be filed against
Judge Wickersham of sullicient
gravity to warrant investigation.
That Judge Wickersham has ever
transgressed in his judicial career
in this district is newrs to its resi
dents . In fact his career while on
the bench has been without blem
ish, and there is not a miner in
the country who is not his staunch
friend and supporter. If the bench
ill Alaska is to be kept clean we
want fewer Noyes’ and more
JJfickei sham’s.—Foruiu.
