VALDEZ HAS A
QUIET ELECTION
(continued from page 1).
ens, the present treasurer, J. A.
Mottilvery is pitted against W. II.
Caswell, the present clerk of I he
Reservation board, and E. B.
Spiers and R. S. Heckey are both
aspirants for the position of di
reclor. The friends of all the
candidates are1 working and some
interest is being taken. The elec
lion on the Reservation was held
in i lie Bunnell building and Ihe'
city elect ion in I he (lily Hall.
Assuming that C. E. Bunnell's
position as clerk of Ihe oily
school board is vacant because
Mr. Bunnell is temporarily living
outside the city limits, some of
| he friends of A. ,T. Meals are run
ning him for Ihe. supposed va
cancy.
This raises an inleresl ing ques
tion which might reach Ihe
courts. Lawyers say, regardless
of the question of Mr. Bunnell’s
right to hold on after moving out
of the city, no valid election can
be held because the law provides
l hat in case of a vacancy on the
town school hoard the remaining
members of the board may, on the
request of five residents, call a
special election to fill the vacancy.
Xo vacancy has been declared, and
no election has been called by the
board.
The law tines iud ret|iiire Ibal
a member of the town school
lioard most he a resident even
when elected. I| is silent on that
point. The law governing the
ease is the art. of congress of
January 27, 1905, creating the
Alaska mad commission and mak
ing prov ision for public schools.
At the lime of going to press
155 voles had been east on the
Reservation and 102 votes in the
city for councilmen, and 109 for
the school hoard, more interest,
being taken in I tie school tight
Ilian in the council scrap.

BILLS ITRODUCED
BY Sty BLURB
Juneau.—-Senator Millard this
afternoon introduced a large
hatch of new bills ,two of which
referred to the subject of white
slavery. One of these acts makes
it a misdemeanor subject to a
line of $100 to rent or lease a
building for prostitution and
each day such building is usedM'or
such purpose shall be a separate
offense. The other bill makes
“while slavery a felony.”
Three of the Millard bills in
troduced in the Senate today ap
ply to mines. One makes il a
felony lo conceal amalgam ores
or concentrates with the intent of
stealing the same; another pro
vides protection under the civil
Code lo the purchasers of ores and
to the own'ers or operators *>f
mines that are shipping ores; one
provides legal methods of acquir
ing right of way for ditches, ca
nals, flumes, aerial tramways,
telephones and telegraph lines.
One of the bills introduced to
day by Senator Millard provides
that an Indian in order to have
(lie right to vole must have sev
ered his tribal relations and be
able to read and write the English
language.
A very important hill is I he act
to regulate grubstake contracts
and prospecting agreements. It
provides that all such agreements
must by recorded with the re
corder of the district in which
the agreement is made.

Negro Poisoners.
The (lenlral African native is a
master in the art of poisoning
and always on the watch for it.
tic will never take a drink of wa
ter <ir beer or eat of a dish, even
when ottered by a peaceful ac
quaintance, until tile tins! lias
catch or delink some of it to
pledge its harmlessness. He is
always in fear of treachery, and
with good reason, for an assassin
is cheaply hired. Vegetable poi
sons may he made'l»y almost any
one. and the methods of admin
istering them are cunning be
yond description. One of the
cleverest ways, often resorted to
when a man gels into his head
an idea I hat a neighbor is in
juring him by witchery, is to kilt
Hie unsuspecting victim by means
of poisoned stakes and, at the
same lime, avoid suspicion, which
would inevitably lead to a similar
vengeance. Procuring lillle
sharpened slicks. I lie murderer
hollows their poinls and inserls
poison usually made hy boiling
down Hie juice of certain shrubs
or creepers into Ihe cavities.
These he secretly plants upright.
Iml leaning a little along the path
which leads from I lie doomed
negro's tuq to his garden. Soon
er or later Ihe intended victim
slightly lacerates his hare fool by
hitting one of these sharp slakes,
lie lakes no notice of the scratch,
for he is used to such trifling in
juries: but in a few'moments tiis
foot and teg begin to swell and
an hour or so later lie expires in
agony. ,vW!T!’Hi
The hark and roots of several
trees and shrubs yield virulent
poisons when properly brewed,
one of which has the peculiar ef
fect of at once paralyzing the or
gans of speech. The gall of the
crocodile, when dried in the sun
and pulverized, is also very dead
ly. The most fatal poison, how
over, is that, prepared from an
ugly, whitish tree called ujungu
in German East Africa. It grows
in only a few localities, and few
| unlives will venture in cut it j
down, for a mere prick with a
'splinter will cause terrible and
i sometimes d'alal 'intlammation.
! Tho negroes say that neither
j moths nor snakes will go near it
land that birds never rest in its
branches. To make this poison
■the wood rs burnt and its ashes
I are mixed wilh water and then
'boiled down In a thick paste. The
j natives will travel hundreds of
i miles to procure this paste, wilh
|which hunters anoint their ar
rows and spears and the bullets
of their guns, dipping I hem, af
ter the smearing, in hot bue’s
wax to form a protective covering
against loss of power as well as
against accident.
