Citizens Object.
Hope. Alaska. March, ’(M.
Mr. Editor: Your issue of FeU
18 contains an article signed “The
Tattler, making statements which
■We, ns citizens of 1k)]>c, wish t<>
correct.
First, 1 wish to state that The
Tattler is n most vicious prevari
cator and liar, and will prove the
statement.
He says there is a gang of van
dals who terrorize the town.
As citizens of Hope we most em
phatically deny the existence of
any such gang.
That the clique a year ago ma
liciously mutilated the bull belong
ing to S. C. Collins.
The facts are S. C. Collins raised
the bull and taught it to fight.
When the animal attacked differ
ent people he was warned to keep the
animal up, hut Imitated he would
let it run, and as a result it was
served as all such animals areserv
end, and without danger to its life.
The animal never received a min
ute’s care and is still in the town,
though tlie present owner, Charles
Peterson, keeps him up even at
this date fearing for the safety of
women and children.
When the commissioner investi
gated the matter he acknowledged
the bull should have been shot and
warned Collins to take lx-tter care
of the animal in the future.
The article further states that
the gang stole six eases of dynam
ite from J. (). Buzzard’s cache, and
made two explosions in blowing up
a public bridge, burning a cabin,
tearing down fence and breaking
windows, and last, and by far the
most vicious statement, that the
explosions caused the death of Mr.
A. L. Howard.
The facts are—a charge of dyn
amite of much less than a 1k»x,
judging from the noise, was set off
as a Christmas joke away off on
the flat, far from any house, which
broke only one pane of glass in the
town, and us for sinking a cabin
there is not a shadow of truth in
the statement.
A few sticks were placed under a
private bridge—not a public one at
all—and a few logs of the approach
was blown off. It didn’t knock
down one length of fence, which
was nailed to the end of the bridge
where the i»owder was placed.
As to Mr. Howard being affected
by the explosion be should have
been the best judge as lie asked the
next day if lie was disturbed by the
explosion, and replied that he
hardly felt the shock, and did not
realize there had lieen an explo
sion until next morning.
Such are the facts and The Tat
tler must have known them to he |
6J.
The person who wrote the article
must have known he lied when he
wrote it, and it is bound to leak out
in time who The Tattler is. I ven
ture to predict lie will meet with
the treatment all liars should re
ceive—the contempt of all respect
able people.
As to the respectable people of
Hope fearing for their person or
property we know positively that
not a reputable person in Hope
can be found who will verify a sin
gle accusation made in the article.
As citizens of Hope we are very
6orry that any such stories should
be published about any of our citi-j
zens ami have the most extreme
contempt for the sneaking scoun
drel while sharing our hospitality.
The fellow well knows that if the
citizens knew the author of the
article he W'ould lie completely ig
nored by the whole camp, for we
imagine that a person who would
write such an aggregation of mis
representation is a greater hoodlum
and vandal than any we have ever
had in the town. The Citizens.
Senators to Visit Alaska.
Ii present plan* are perfected a
large party of senator* anil n pro
seiifatives anil other* inf esteil in
the far northwest will leave St.
Louis. May 1, for a trip through
Alaska ami the gold tit Ids, and
spend July 4 on Siberian soil.
A week will be spent in south
ern California and the start will le
made from Seattle the early part of
June. The party expects to return
to the states by August 1.
Fined The Corpse.
A good story is going the rounds
about an Alaska commissioner.
For it* accuracy wo will not vouch
but it is characteristic of Alaska
law and we herewith give it.
From a wreck or some other
source a corpse tloated on the beach 1
and was secured by one of the in
habitants and tied to a Stake. The i
commissioner was notified and h<
went to the beach accompanied lu
lus marshal. The body was ex
amined and tie first thing found
was a large frontier revolver. The
court immediately went into ses
sion and the case wa* tried. The
dead man was fined $7') for carry
ing concealed weapons, and strange
to say the exacl amount was
found upon his person. The gun
was confiscated.
Even fast express trains don’t
keep a goin’ after the steam’s shut
of—neither does your business after
the advertising is shut off.—Rusty

JOINING THE FRENCH LEGION.
H« (tiMtlMi Asked or Proote of
Ideality Required of 9lraif(|r
Appiiranla.
It Is well-known that no questions
are asked of persons wishing to join
tiie French Foreign Legion, and that
no proof* of identity are required.
As. a matter of fact, there have been
cases of Frenchtn n volunteering f 'r
service in the legion, which is re
served for foreign subjects, under a
false name ami nationality, says a
London paper. A certain delay, never
theless, occurs betw.cn the applica
tion and its acceptance, and there
appears to be a belief current among
the working classes that in order to
hasten the necessary formalities it is
sufficient to get locked up, it being
supposed that the police authorities
take the matter in hand and push it
forward. A bricklayer named Al
phonse Fade has found out to his
cost that this belief has no ffrrimis
foundation. September 18 he called
at on* of the Paris police stations
and requested the inspietor on duty
tourre-t him for vagrancy. The re
quest being refused. Fade smashed a
window and this had the desired ef
fect. In the police court he said that
he had acted in this way in order in
be admitted into the .foreign legion
more rapidly, as lie eotild get n«»
work in Paris. The judge asked how
an interval was required to con*
elude the formalities, and on being
informed that the average was one
month, sent Fade to prison for that
time.
EATING ACCORDING TO SEX.
Mil Needs More Food and Atr Than
Woman tiers oxe He Kxpenda
More Knrrij.
The layman will not lx- a little aston
ished at the claim made by the London
Lancet that the male human needs
more food Ilian the female; not only
on account of his larger stature. but
also lx-causc he is tile more kutabofic
of the two. The man tends to expend
energy, and the woman to store it up *
in the form of fat; lie Ixirus I lie faster;
this sexual difference shows itself in
the very blood; ihe man has a larger
percentage of chroinoeytes than the
woman, showing that he needs a pro
portionately lurgerquantity of oxygen
in order to maintain this moic active
combustion. Moreover, weight for
weight, his pulmonary capacity is
greater than that of the woman whose
smaller respiratory need is further
shown by the facility with which she l
can without discomfort diminish her j
breathing |xiwer by means of tin cor
set. Attention may be druwn to the
fact that men are apt to lx- larger
meat eaters than women, just ns they |
are, possibly in consequence of this
very fact, more prone to drinking ul
eohol and smoking' tobacco.
