Small Camp
AWI Bit' U-t. i well known prospector
and miner, who has had experiences in the
mining gam in widely-separated portions
of Alaska, was an arrival from Marshall
City on W 'dnesday hist. He is here for
the purpose of securing machinery to work
claims on Willow creek, near Marshall City,
in which he is interested, and upon which
good pay has been located.
Speaking of the outlook at the hover
Yukon cam i. Mr. Blanker says that good
p::v has b on located on at least seven
claims on Willow creek, and that fully 100
men will lie employed there during the com
ing season. No pay has been located on
any of the adjoining creeks, although there
are many promising prospects. The ground,
is wet, and the most efficient prospecting
has been do »e by means of bedrock drains.
When Mr Flanker left Marshall City A1
Wal.-h was ui camp, looking around with a
view to see :r-ig interests there.
Dan Me.Kinzi? is expected to start work
on discovery cl iim earlv in the sprng. and
will put on a Bagiev scraper. Charles

LLOYD GEORGE IS EMPHATIC
AS TO ABILITY OF BRITAIN
TO CONTINUE WAR ALONE
PARIS. Feb. 1. “Do not be under any
misai prehension.” Lloyd George is quoted us
saying by the newspapers reporting an in
ter\iew given recently in London to the
Mdan Soccelo. “Great Britain is determined
to push the war to the end. We may make ,
mistakes, but we never give in. It was \
British stubbornness which overthrew *\a j
poleon after twenty years of war. Our I
al.ies then fell away one by one, and
England alone held on. This time our ,
allies are as staunch and resolute as we
are.
“We have at present 3.000,000 men under
arm:,” continued Lloyd George, according !
to the interviewer, “and by spr.ng we will
have 4.000,000 soldiers, solid, lit and well
equipped.
ill s is a nriiHiirra.it, v. ar. u »n.- u*.’i
I should have nothing to do with it. I was
imposed to the last war that England en- i
gaged in, but in the present war the future
of democracy in the whole world is in
volved. It is a final struggle between mili
tary autocracy and political liberty, a hid
eous conflict, but one wherein we shall be
victorious; of that 1 am certain. The cen- j
trcl empires have lost their chance of vic
tory. and they know it. Great Britain is
united for this war to such a point that !
if there were a general election not a single
anti-war member would be elected.
"I foresee no difficulty.” continued the ■
sneaker, “in connection with compulsion.
No fewer than (j.000,000 men came forward
to enlist. Some were unfit for service, j
others were required for the munitions fac- j
tories. for the railroads and for the mines.
About 380,000 men are affected by the com- !
pid-'ory service measure, but this number is ■
diminishing through daily attestations."

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
FOR RELIEF OF NATIVES
To the Editor of The iditarod Pioneer :
After reading the article in last weeks
Pioneer describing the destitution of the
natives on the Kuskokwim, I quite agree
that some course of action should be taken
to ameliorate their condition. But in help
ing them we must realize that so long as
the cause of their sad plight exists we ci.n
never abolish poverty trom among them.
Owing to their precarious means of procur
ing food, the same condition will prevail
again and again unless we do something
more substantial than giving them tem
porary aid.
Of course, in considering Mr. Lee > nar
rative, some tllawanccs may be permitted
for the impressions which the scenes do
scribed would have on one who probably
is a stranger to the character and mode
of living of the natives. I have visited
very few Indian camps in which tilth and ,
hunger did not reign supreme.
The Indian lives vvun as lime even, m ,
e.s possible. There may he a dearth of
‘white man’.'' food,” occasioned bv the
small run of salmon la-1 summer j but
surely the lakes and rivers are not de
pleted of their hordes of fi-'h, and if the
Indian had the energy to bestir himself !
there would not he the dire poverty which j
Mr. Lee so graphically detects.
It is superficial for us to condemn the
Indian because he lacks the initiative to i
get away from the villages and rustle for ;
himself. Starvation represses initiative, us .
we may see among those of our own race,
victims of our unjust system, who pin? m
our great ciries when they might strike ■
out for themselves and secure a place in !
the sun. To impute the Indians' condition
to unwillingness to work for others is to |
confess luck of knowledge of the condi
tions under which they live. Men among
ourselves ere sometimes at a loss to earn
a living through want of work.
Perhaps, uniortunately lor me m :i: m.
he has acquired an appetite for “white ;
man's food”; and now he has the appetite j
without the means of satisfying it. The
staple articles have become with him almost !
a necessity a necessity which, through the ;
growing scarcity of fur. he procures insuff:- j
ciently to sustain himself and family. True, j
he has not vet learned the arts of economy, ^
and his prodigality at. a potlatch is pro
verbud. He lives for today, with no thought
of tomorrow. In buying or trading he
exercises little prudence. But when we |
fake info consideration the small oppor- |
tunities he has had to learn our domestic
policy, we may in some measure overlook j
these shortcomings. Oivihzation, with its
attendant blessings and evils, has beer, j
thrust too suddenly upon the Indian, and |
ho is a ired to conform, in one generation. I
to conditions to which even we are not j
yet accustomed. We burst upon his primeval j
simplicity with our dour, calico, candy, pho- |
nographs things useful, ornamental am! !
otherwise—and. childlike, he reaches out f r
the things that i.lease the eve and the j
palate, while discarding that which is more ,
essential to his comfort and well-being.
The Indian should be taught to support ;
himself independently of the precarious
hunt and trap line. His income front hi
eatch of salmon, even in the best of sea
sons. i< negligible^ With the introduction j
of reindeer into the country, and their pos- j
session restricted to the native, there was
some hope that this dream of independence |
might he realized; but since the white man
has been granted the privilege of raising
deer, that dream has been shattered, as it
is only a question of time when the native
will have no herds.
Agroulture 1.- the only salvation It-:t lor
the native. With the vast areas of fertile
land bordering the rivers, with proper in
structors to show him how to cultivate the
soil, with a government ready to assist him
with seed and implements in the initial
stage of his venture. I think it wot Id not
be difficult to convert the native into a
tiller of the soil. They are not vagabonds,
but stay close by their na'ive villages; which
is a characteristic which should make easy
the conversion.
What is needed is resident instructors to
live close to the native villages in order to
impart information and oversee the natives
in their work of raising farm and garden
produce. To instruct them verbullv, with
out actual demonstration, is wasted effort.
The Indian's powers of reflection are not
great, and he apprehends only that which
his senses perceive.
True, the various missions throughout the
country, to some extent, instruct them in
these things; but when the pupils depart
from the influence of the mission they in
variably revert to their tribal customs. We
may bear with them in this respect when
we remember that we, too, often lapse into
ignorance when we leave the school room
behind. Like our Sabbath-day religion, in
struction serves no purpose unless it is
practiced; and, in the case of the Indian,
the only effective instruction is to have
the object lesson of industry continually be
side him. The reward of a bountiful har
vest will be incentive enough to spur him
to emulation; and habits of industry will
be inculcated that no temporary sojourn in
a mission can effect. Man is an imitative
animal; and the Indian is no exception.
We have been taught that industry is a
virtue; and the white toiler has been left to
solace himself with virtue as his sole re
ward, while his masters appropriated the
tangible profits. Let us encourage industry
in the Indian for the Indian’s sake, and the j
greatest of all virtues charity will be
credited to us, and may yet atone for the
many sins committed against him. Let us
help him to better his physical well-being,
and his spiritual and intellectual welfare
will follow as day follows night. By teach
ing him to be independent we will help him
to build character; and it is only by virtue
of its character that a people can survive.

SWISS INSULT GERMAN FLAG
BERNE, Jan. 28.—An angry crowd at
Lausanne, in the state of Vaud, yesterday
tore down and trampled upon a German flag
which had been hoisted over the German
consulate in hoonr of the birthday of the
kaiser.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the federal council of Switzerland, and
at an extraordinary session it was decided to
offer a full apology and the regrets of the
republic for the insult.
When the flag was torn down it was
with difficulty that the police succedeed in
restraining the mob from doing violence
to the consul. Several of the leaders in the
attack on the consulate have been arrested.

Alaskans Go Barefooted
A Seward dispatch of January 20 says
that mail advices received by the mail
steamship Dora from Sanak, in far South
western Alaska, were that no snow had i
fallen and there had been no ice up to |
the middle of January. Children were at- j
tending school barefooted, while Northern j
Alaska was in the grip of a fearful bliz j
zard.

Wolverines Kill Reindeer
It is reported from Nome that wolverines j
killed ten reindeer in one day at the Mis- |
sion. Wolves attacked the Bonanza and I
Unalakleet herds also. Stefan lvanoff, the 1
herder at Shatolik, shot at a couple of I
wolves, but did not kill them. The ptar
migan, which have been very scarce, are
now putting in an appearance again, and
big Hocks have been seen.

Rich Strike on the Stikine
A Juneau dispatch of January 21! says: *
“It is reported here this evening by a min |
ing man who has just arrived from Wran :
goll that a tremendously rich strike has J
been made at the head of the Stikine river, [
which dwarfs into insignificance that which j
Lindeberg, Ohilberg and others have been ,
exploiting. The strike is attracting con- i
siderable attention from mining men, and j
it may cause a stampede.”

A contract has been let in San Francisoc j
bv the Alaska Packers Association for the
installation at the earliest possible date
of six radio stations. Ttie contract involves
something more than $12,000 for instru
ments. Two of these stations go to Nu.h
a'.uik bay. the locations being Snag point
and Clark’s point; two go to Bristol bay.
at Kichak and Naknek; at Larsen bay, on
Kodiak island, and at Chignik, on the
Alaska peninsula. Officials of the Alaska
Packers' Association a year ago purchased :
two sets of a; paratu>. It is estimated that
the wireless sets operating between the
canneries will save large sums of money \
through the quick communication afforded.
The association’s larger vessels are equipped 1
with wireless.
Judge Bunned to Practice Economy
In all probability there will be no ap
pointments made for the positions of bailiffs
and court crier for the next term of court
which starts oil February 8. says the Fair
banks Citizen. Certain it is that there will |
he no court crier, for Judge Charles K. j
Bunnell states that he has decided to do j
away with that functionary. The matter!
of the appointment of bailiffs, however, j
rests with the marshal, and wdl be decided j
noon his arrival in town. Questioned on |
the subject. Judge Bunnell stated that the
court crier is an antipuate i institution not
in general use in courts. He has therefore
decided that his court, will be up to date,
li. however, it is found that a court crier
i.- necessary, il is probable that ihe work
will fall to the lot of one of the deputy
in arshals.

Record Snowstorm in Nome I
On January 28 Nome suffered from its !
record snowstorm, according to the Indus- j
trial Worker. Not m years have the streets j
been so congested with snow. To many ,
[daces mushing was almost impossible with- i
out snowshoes. Twelve feet of soft snovi |
encumbered the Sand-spit, the residents there j
having to dig themselves out in many in
stances. Similar conditions were reported
all over the town, the back streets being
particularly bail. Watermen had a hare
time giving any service, and the four hors;
teams at that had more than they could
pull with a full tank. It continued all day
and Front street at night looked as if it
would never again he passable. It meant
a big job to clear away the enormous ac
cumulation of snow that encumbered every
street, and that in places that in other
years have not shown any natural accumu
lation.

Mushing Alaska Dogs in Seattle
Dr. Good of Ruby, who took his team
of Alaska dogs to the Outside with him
last fall, has been the center of much in
terest in Seattle, where, during the recent
winter weather enjoyed by the residents of
the Northwest metropolis, he mushed his
dogs through the streets of the city. A copy
of the Post-Intelligencer of January 23 has
been received which contains a fine half
tone illustration of the doctor and his team
in Volunteer park. The Seattle newspaper
says: “During the recent heavy snow Vol
unteer park formed a scene of Oriental
beauty. The contrast of green foliage and
wintry desolation gave the hill a quaint
charm. The atmosphere of the Arctic was
added to by the appearance of a sled and
ten Malamute huskies, the property of Dr.
W. F. Good of Ruby, Alaska, a town in
terior from Seward 700 miles. Dr. Good
has been in town with the dogs for sev
eral weeks. In a few days he will re' urn
with them to their native Yukon trails.” *

Passenger's Toes Frozen on Board Ship
After braving the rigors of Alaska win
ters for years, surviving cruises into Arctic
waters, it remained for F. A. Turner of
Cordova, secretary-treasurer and gened
manager of the Cordova Packing Company,
to limp into port on board the steamship
Northwestern on her last trip nursing a
badly frozen toe, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer of January 30. Turner did not
freeze this appendage by standing out on
deck in the teeth of a gale or lashed to the
rigging as a lookout in search of ice cakes.
No, nothing romantic or poetical at all.
He froze his toe while wrapped in the
drapery of his couch in a cozy state room,
and to this hour has not been able to
figure it out, unless it was that during the
night he kicked the porthole open and hung
his foot out where the wild waves were hav
ing their reputed conversations. "I cannot
imagine how it happened, said Mr. Iurner
at the Hotel Frye. “If it had been all
of my toes on one foot that froze 1 cmii.-l
understand it. As it was the cold settled
in one toe only, leaving its brothers on
the .same foot and right next to it in the
rosy flush of health. It is a very pain
ful subject.'’
Another Victim of Blizzard
The Nome Nugget of January 21> says
that reports reaching Candle from the St la
ve ik section tell of another victim done to
death by the deadly blizzard that blew over
the uttermost reaches of the peninsula about
the first of the year. The unfortunate one
was George Blaine, whose name is nut un
known to many of the old-timers, as he has
long resided in the district, and particularly
in the Kotzebue sound country. Accel ding
to the story reaching Candle, tire body
of Blaine was found lying a short di-Uanve
outside of his trading station, some disiance
north of Selav.dk, a short time after the
storm hail blown over, c Id and .stiff in
death. Investigation revealed that the un
fortunate man apparently had lefi hi- cabin
during the height of the storm for the pur
pose of replacing a log which had been dis
placed by the wind, and was caught by
the whirling snows and hurried into eter
nity. The det ails of how he came to wan
der away from the cabin will probably
never be known, as there is no apparent ex
planation of why he went so far that he
could not locate the cabin again. It was
evident that he had no intention of going
far. as his feet were encased in a pa r of
light house slippers, and he wore no heavy
clothing. Blaine was once before the vic
tim of the Arctic blizzard while carrying
the mail along the Kotzebue shore. On
this occasion he was caught while scarcely
a mile from his destination and compelled
to stay out all night, in a snowdrift, with
the result that portions of his hands were
amputated and his days of mail carrying
ended. Of late years he has been engaged
in running a trading station for Tom Barry -
man at the point where he met his death.
He was a brother-in-law of A. Dietrich, for
merly of Council, and was employed by the
latter at the time of his first unfortunate
experience with the blizzard. He i« srid
to have been a member of the Arctic
Brotherhood.

THERE ARE NO MEN ANGELS
The Cent rail a Hub lias often worried
about thp absence of “man-angels” in the
pictures and paintings, and after some in
vestigation it gives the reason for the dis
crimination to its reader- as follows:
“Always was a hit puzzled as to why the
picture hooks and artists and story-tellers
always depicted an angel as something with
for mand face of feminine fetchingness, sur
rounded by snowy wings of wondrous win
someness. and in an attempt to get at the
bottom of the puzzle I started out in the
Sherlock Holmesing business on my own
hook, and I found out that when the
church needs a new carpet the pastor calls
on the Ladies’ Aid Society for it. and when
the deacons get behind with the pastor’s
pay check they call on the Ladies’ Aid So
ciety. and when the mortgage on the place
of worship falls doe it is the Ladies Aid
Soicety that comes to the rescue and beats
the sheriff out of a job, and on Sunday
when the pastor goes into the pulpit to
point the way to the land of angels and
perpetual life he usually faces an audience
of mostly women, and the mid-week meet
ings are the same thing, only more so, and
I have deduced that the reason no fine
paints a man-angel is because there ain’t
no such animal, and now what puzzles me
is what they are going to do with the men
preachers.” _
