VANCOUVER, B. C. Dec., 22
Fur catches will be very light this
winter in the Yukon Territory and
Alaska, on account of a recent drop in
the skin market, according to ^ reports
from the north. The number of men
on the wb&r trap lines, it is'said*
will be considerably less than last
yew. ;
News of the drop reached the north
recently and many northerners who
generally prospect in the summer and
trap in the4winter spent all the time
they could looking for gold with the
intention of working this winter.

We have received 126 telephone,
calls asking whether the S. S. Victoria |
would arrive in . Seward tbday. We;
have been asked 133 times on the Main
and other streets if we had received:
any news about the Victoria’s arrival |
today. We expect the steamer to tie,
up at the dock some time today. We
are hoping she does the same as the!
259 people who ma(}6 inquiries about
her. ‘Most everybody in Seward is ex*!
pecting a letter or a package from the j
outside. The Victoria this season is
the Senta Claus ship for Alaskans.
Guess we never really outgrow the
Santa Claus belief. Way down deep in
our hearts it still exists, even if we
sometimes openly scoff at the idea.
Christmas will always be the most
wonderful day in the year .

OLYMPIA, Wash, Dec., 22- In- j

$126*679 estate left by Father William , j
Duncan, a missionary of Metlakatla, ]
Alaska, despite the fact that the raon- j j
ey was left fbr work among the Alas-j j
kan Indians, the state supreme court '
here held. Father Duncan was one of |
the best known missionaries in the j
tyrth. - !j
Father Duncan went to Alaska in I
1857 as s representative of the Church j
of England. After 25 years service he .
disapproved certain orders sent him I
from Hie church and applied for per- j
mission of the United States govern- -
ment to remove to Annette Island, off 1
the coast of Alaska, and continue his |
work. By an act of Congress the isl- <
and was made a reservation and Dun
can built up a remarkable independ
ent Indian colony. He acted as teacher
leader, governor, judge and business
manager for the Indians and esu.
lished industries among them.

The excuses offered by school boys
ire often laughable perhaps none more
so than those of two pupils of the
Seward school for being late * Asked
why he didn’t come when he heard the
bell, one boy said; “Please, Miss, 1
was dreaming that I was going to.
California on the S~ S. Watson an^J I
thought the school bell was the steam
boat I was going on’”. You did Eh?,
said the teacher. “And now sir,” turn- j
ing to the second boy, “what have you ’
to say for yourself ?. “Blear Miss, I1
was just waiting to see Tom off,”
stammered the* other. |
John Dewey, in his new book ojjlje
reconstruction "of philosophy says that
“man differs from the lower animals
because he presrves his past experien* \
