There's a great future ahead for the Alaskan Indians if Lieutenant D. H. Jarvis is any prophet Jarvis is the man who last week de clined the Governorship of our artic province. . He probably o knows : more about the real conditions in Alaska then any other man. He was the hero who led the relief expedition to whalers im prisoned by the ice at Point Barrow, and for year has been president Roosevelt's chief adviser as to appointment and poli cies for the territory. We don't need the Chinese in Alaska', said Lieut Jarvis. "The natives nude just as gooa workmen Tor any purpose as could be desired. All they need is competent training and decent conditions of environment In disposition they are superior to the negroes, and when guided right are more industrious, They have negro's failing for spending money, how ever, and are inclined to the excastive use or intoxicants. But tnese traits are found In all aboriginal races, Down in the southeastern districts of the territory where the Alaskans have had a longer acquaintance with progressive whites, you find them progressing rapidly. The majority of them down there have learn ed to use intoxicants with moderation The greatest foe that the Alaskan Indian Indian has to contend with her as con sumption. Tne greatest foe that the Alaskan Indian has to contend with now is consumption. Like the Red Men and the Blacks, the Alaskans easily fall vict ims to the great white plague. 1 hope to' see the Marine Hospital Service es tablish sanitariums for the natives and have suggested the idea to the President and he has promised to recommend the plan. At present if a native contracts tuberculosis, he is doomed, and, as he has no place where he can go away from the rest of his fellows, he becomes a men ace to the community" Washington, March 9. From far-off Alaska comes a remarkable letter to the Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Depart ment It was written by Gunner Thomas Guhderlos, who makes serious charges against the captain of the whaler Jean ette. Is seems that while Gunberlos was enjoying a little mental obscurity in San Francisco the crew of the Jeanette shang haied him and carried him to . Alaskan waters. When he recovered his senses, he in dignantly told the captain of the whaler that he was a gunner on the United States battle-sHp Ohio, to which the captain is said to have replied: "Very good, w are in need of just such a man." . The Bureau of Navigation has looked into the matter and believes statements mad by Gunderloe are true, and the revenue cutter service has been asked to look out for the Jeanette. The man has had a most excellent record during hi long service in the navy, and his mysteri ous disappearance from San Francisco could not be accounted for by his officers and mates. . y. mTcTconvention (Scrlpps New Association) Riverside, March 9.
