ALASKA EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Indian Carving. Curios and Hand
iwork to Bo Exhibited,
We, of Alaska, aro never tirod
telling of tho beauties and straugo
ncss aud the many things of iutcrest
counected with this country. Last
evening we listeued to an address by
the Governor, John O. Brady, relative
to the St. Louis Exposition. If any
of tho readers of this, paper should
visit St. Louis during the Worlds fair
next year, they may mid a unique
and quaint building, constructed after
tho style of our Inttinu houses, orna
mented ou the oftide with many
large old totem l'Mos, taken from
various Indian villages of southern
Alaska. Some of the largo timbers
will also be taken from old Indian
buildings, they will be the ones
wich are elaborately carved, showing
the handiwork of tho natives.
Tho Indians' style of carving is
peculiarly their own, and is difficult
of imitation. They formerly did
their carving with a tool made by
themselves, from stono or native cop
per. The large wooden aud horn
spoons, ladles and other household
utensils aro ornamented w ith totcmic
emblems, even their jewelry is cover
ed with these figures. Musks, which
are worn at dances, lire also skillfully
carved. Into their clothing and
blanket aro woven or worked with
pearl buttons or beads, various myth
ological emblems. Their large wood
en halibut hooks and long pipes are
carved like totem poles.
The Alaska building is to bo placed
on a high elevation, overlooking a
considerable part of tho Exposition.
Its unique style of architecture and
quaint adornments wili make it very
attractive.
There will be an exhibition of the
products from various parts of Alaska,
including specimens of lumber from
the saw mills, many of them conduct
ed entirely by tho natives, caunod fish
from the canneries, eswcially tho can
ned salmon, and specimens of mineral
from the principal mines. A large
variety of tho curios of the Indian
handiwork will be ono of the most
interesting attractions of the Alaska
exhitiit and not lenst among them is
tho Indian made basket, fabricated in
various shapes and for numerous
uses, stained with native dyes and
ornamented with interwoven symbols
and artistic designs. Many of them
arc samples of a taste aud intelligent
handcraft not easy to reconcile, with
their seeming ignorance. These
baskets are mado from the inner bark
of the cedar, roots aud grasses,
closely woven as to be water tight.
The women make beaded bags, mocca
sins, beautiful mats aud many other
unique, curios.
It is expected that many of the
natives from Alaska will attend the
ExjKisitiou, esH'cially a brass band,
composed of native boys. The Uover
nor has already visited many of the
towns, creating an Interest among the
people, soliciting material for tho
building aud curios, materials oti
for the exhibit. His address in this
town was full of interest. October
IK, will be set apart as "Alaska

WARNER SETTLERS TO SUE
Teat Validity of Deeds Issued
to
Stock Company.
Attorney John Hall of Portland, is
preparing papers for the commence
ment of a suit in behalf of the set
tlers in Warner Valley, Lake county,
in their coutost with the Waruer Val
ley Stock Company. When Mr. Hall
was in Salem last week he said that
a suit will be filed in Lake county
to test the validity of the deeds issued
by the state for the lands which are in
dispute.
The proceedings heretofore have
been coudcuted in the General Laud
Office aud the Department of the In
terior. The decision In tho depart
ment was adverse to tho settlors, who
are homesteaders, aud claimed title
from tho United States.
The question in dispute is whether
tho lands were swamp lands in ISIiO,
when such lands wore granted to the
state by the United States. It is ad
mitted that at the present timo the
lands are not swamp,, bnt it is claim
ed that their character has changed
since 18t0.

John Mlnto Tells of Rogue River
Indian Wars.
In A communication to the Jackson
illo Sentinel, John Mluto says:
"U has occurred to mo that lu con
nection with your kindly notice of my
being in Koguo river prior to any
white settlement, the Sentinel being
the pioneer paper of the piouoer por
tion of Southern Oregon, whore the
fiercest race contest was fought to a
llnlsh against tho most spirited tribe
of the wild race west of the Rocky
Mountains; s few words as to why,
with whom and for what I was In
your valley in February, 1HIH, would
not bo nut of place.
I was ono of a detail of 1A mon of
whom that nature's nobleman, Hon.
Jesse Applcgato, was guido, and the
other 15 his escort as bearer of mes
sages from Gov. Abornathy to the act
ing governor of California aud (Join-
modoro Hcliubrick, iu control of the
U. S war ships then ou the California
coast. The purisiso was to get saul
assistance from the commandant of
tho U. S. forces then In Califorian as
mild bo spared us in our war against
thu Cayuses for the Whitman massa
cre, even if l wero no more man a
supply of ammunition. Wo followed
thu California trail successfully to
some distuueo above tho present site
of Ashland, and ou a sloio of the
Ashland depot, one of our company
got a fine buck antelope from a flock
resting like well fed sheop. Wo were
visited by natives evidently from
desire to learn, if possible, our pur
pose In being there at that unusual
season. As an excuse or ttieir visit.
one of throe men showed us a small
buckskin sack filled with peuimicaii
mado from charred grasshoppers.
They took our amusement over their
offer of trade in good part, showing it
was only pretense.
The story of our Isdng defeated by
the snow encountered on tho mount
ain near the line of tho Ashland Link-
vlllo road, has been published as
written by Mr. Applcgato and myself.
Of course that of Applcgato is far the
best in literature. It was written lu
answer to a request of tho lato Mrs
F, F. Victor and published iu the
Stale History of the early Indian Wars
of Oregon, p p l'il-'iJ compiled by
Mr. and Mrs. Victor, '.'a years after
tho event. It is hot nil agreeable
business to correct thu w riting of the
dead, ami 1 am so far as I know, the
lust living iiiemls r of that party of
lit, uud feel it duo to the sacred truth
to sav that iu that, letter to Mrs. Via
tor, Mr Applcgato, w hether from fail
ing memory or a desire not to place
himself us leader of the lstrty, which
ho win. makes Mr. Fields, a lsim
gent Ionian, suy: "Hi fore I joined
Ibis expedition in the Willuuiotti
Valley. I fully understood the gravity
of the undertaking. Against tho s r
form. ime of such au undertaking, 1
weighed my own lifo as nothing; in
fact, if ouly ono of tho party should
reacli the end ef the Journey and the
rest "fell by tho way, the object of
tho cxj dition would (bo cheaply oh,
tallied." Tho last high sentiments
wero Mr. Jes,u Applcgato's own,
siiokcu to me at least 60 hours Is fori

told, in the words used by Mr. Apple
gate that he would take his chancei
to get to the Willamette settlements
afoot and alone rather than delay n
of too snow shoo party another hour.
This was sK:k"ii as Mr. Applcgatc
says, by Flehis after he had got into
camp and had his sutits-r after the
first days effort on the snow shoes.
We wero caius'd w here the Applegitte

In mental trouble. I was nearest to
him aud quickly stripping and tying
my horses I wont to him and said,
Mr Applegate yon seem much cast-
down at this result." He re tilled.
"real am John," I replied "well
the people of the Willamette do not
expect what is impossible of us, and
certainly, it 'll Impossible for ns to
cross these mountains with oar horses
ouder present conditions." He re
plied, "that is so, John, bat they do
not see our couaition : people judge
of these things by their success or
failure. I proposed this expedition
aud feel this failure so keenly, that If
I oould have the company of bat one
man, I would try to get through on
snowshooa and not feel the sacrifice
if one of us got through," Before
one minute had passed Mr. Applegate
had three volunteers and before our
supper-dinner was oooked, the party
was equally devldod, eight to try to
get through on snow shoes; and eight
to gut back with the Si horses under
the leader of Capt. Scott Mr. Fields
was a thoroughbred gentleman, a
member of the society of friends, and
his object In being with us was to get
to California and from there back to
Now York. The snow shoe pety as
Mr. Applogate's letter correctly says,
was loaded with eight days provis
ions, gnu, blanket and ammunition
each, bat currying that handicap.
they overtook their horses to five days
