AT KETCHIKAN
Gilbert Mann, of the “First City,”
Pays His Respect to Them in
an Arcticle in Daily Mail.
Home one in Ketchikan took Gilbert
Mann, of that city, to task for object
ing to the sport o fthe libertines of
the southern city who insult the
young native girls. It was asserted
that the young men are being led on
by the native girls, but Mann objects,
and says:
"It is a pitiful tale he tells of
young libertines of 20 to 30 years
falling victims to the wiles of crafty
squaws of 13 to. 14 summers. It is
the saddest tale of betrayed Innocence
I have ever read since Potiphar’s wife
tried to destroy Joseph, as we read
in Genesis xxx.
“It is a moving tale, but unfortun
ately it is far from the truth.
"The pitiless truth is that no white
man, young or old, ever fell a victim
to the wiles of a squaw unless he had
first tried to hunt her to her shame,
“The bunch of young wastrels who
haunt the skating rink at night and
insult every decent native girl would
be a disgrace to the ‘Barbary Coast.’
"If the marshal were furnished a
good oak barrel stave and told to
use it on every white skunk he finds
dogging the footsteps of the native
girls, it would be a good thing for
the community.
A man wno would insult. a wmte
girl as the native girls are insulted
every day would be filled so full of
buckshot that he would not lloat in
brine.
“As to intermarriage, I see little
difference in the children of mixed
marriages and the whites.
“Where the father is a worthless
profligate and stewbum his children
are apt to be worthless, whether the
mother is red or white,
"Where the father is a gentleman
he has little cause to be ashamed ol
his children if their mother is red.
“Where the white man’s object is
betrayal and not marriage he should
he handed the same penalty as the
white slaver.
“We are told that Cod made the
crow, the buzzard and the skunk,' but
if he made the brand of white leper
known as a squaw-chatter he certain
ly made a big mistake.”
ALASKAN BOAT
GOES ASHORE
Steamer Sophia, of Canadian Line,
Hits ftdef in Alert- Bay—Was
Floated This Morning.
SEATTLE, Jail. 27.-LTfie Canadian
Pacific liner, Sophia, which went
ashore at Alert Bay, Vancouver Is

sel struck the S. O. 8. call was sent
out and the steamer Alki, which was
close at hand, quickly responded and
all (the passengers were transferred
to the American boat.
The double bottom of the Canadian
boat prevents her sinking, as she has
a big hole in her bottom made by the
jagged rocks of the reef upon which
she struck.
