There Is a legend in Unalaska that he can talk English, but if this is so, he resolutely declines to muke aiy use or his knowledge. He and bi staff of KusFlan teachers hold school in u little house near the chuVch. Very few of the teachers are able to speak any English, and the teaching Is entirely along Russian lines. The classrooms are low and and in every room is an ikon or sacred picture. But how small and dingy seem the ikons when compared with the gorgeous lithographs of the Russian Imperial family that adorn the walla Apostles, saints and martyrs, in their battered gilt frames, have the air of poor relations beside these crowned head in their showy, modern uniforms, glittering with orders and decorations lhe lnjte esag, bearded like a pard," glares with a severity calculated to strike terror into little Aleut hearts; the dowager esarina is alert and smiling; the present emperor beam down with a look of vague amiability. and Czarina Alex's expression U one of grave pathos, as if she were crushed by the weight of her towering diadem. One looks in vain for any signs of dominion. The president, American George Washington, and other institutions dear to the land of the free are conspicuous by their absence. Everything is alien to the American visitor as If Rev John Yenlamlnoff were keeping school Just across the Behring sea, in Siberia.

These the great poo-bu- h school are In Alaska, and one realises how very near Russia came to being a great power in North America when one sees how, even today, the little father Is revered by large numand half-brebers of native Alaskans Russians. The faithful still say, with childlike trust, "The cxar has left us for a little while, but he will rule again over his people." Throughout the length and breadth of Alaska there is still a vague tradition of the rear, as a far-awpotentate, who is father, king and spiritual mnster, all rolled into one. American rule has weakened this feeling, but it still exists, especially near the Russian missions. It is hard for most Americans to comprehend how an absolute autocrat like the cxar held, for so long, the unswerving devotion of the mass of his subjects, from the Baltic sea to Behring straits, and from the Caucasus to the Arctic. One of the keys to this enigma can be found in hundred of native shacks along the mighty Yukon, and on the Alaskan coast.

An ad of rebellion against the cxar is an art of disloyalty to the church, and however deep their poverty and ignorance, the masses of the Russian ed ay dinavian burr, but the studies are conducted in English, and tye tendency of the teaching is completely to Amen-- 1 rurilxe the convert. There is a Jesuit mission at Holy Cross, where ,m addition to Instructing the natives In many useful arts, the fathers give them a good American education, the same is true of the Episcopal missions, and of other American missions, such as Presbyterians, Quakers, etc. The Russian missions, on the other hand, do not Americanise their converts. They seem as if time had gone back forty years to the days before the purchase, or as if they were detached bits of Siberia that had drifted over to the American coast. Take for instance, the mission church at in the Aleutian Islands. The quaint old Russian church, with Its green domes, is picturesque enough to harmonise with a scenery which rivnl that of Norway. On every hand Inlets and fiords Indent green, timberless mountains that rise to peaks and craters. The church has priceless old bronze bells and valuable paintings brought from Russia. Rev.

The father was shocked at the suggestion.

A pathetic feature of the little Aleuts' singing is that In the pauses of their vocal work the room resounds with the dry, hacking Slwash" cough, for consumption is making terrible inroads among the natives of northwestern Alnska. It would be a sweeping statement to say that natives of all Russian missions are worse housed and worse fed than those of American misnt sions. but certainly the most traveler on the Yukon cannot fall to contrast the wretchedness and poverty of the natives of the Russian mission with the prosperity of the nntlvea belonging to American institutions on the same river. It Is a matter uf history that Russia has repeatedly forced conquered people to adopt her faith. No doubt she was actuated by her seal for her state religion. She also made a shrewd political move, for, on a small scale, one can see In Alaska how the conversion of a people to the Russian Greek eastern orthodox church means their complete Russlanlxatlon. 1'ortunutely for the United States, Russia was not actuated by any lively imperialistic spirit at the time she owned Alaska. Little or nothing was done to develop the resources of the country, and prospecting and mining were forbidden, except to the prixil-ege- d few who did not avail themselves of their opportunities. If Russia had known the vast resources of Alaska it is scarcely to be expected that she would have accepted a paltry $7,200,000 for a country which Is already yielding annually four times its purchase price in metals, fish. furs. etc. With the exception of the missions, there are few traces of Russian occupation to be found In Alaska today.

Company Many communications have been received at the government land office in Salt Lake City in reference to the matter of the opening of the Uintah reservation. The local officials announce that, while the department of the interior In Washington had postponed the actual opening' until fall, no set date had been fixed, though it is believed President Roosevelt, who ha the power to fix the date, will shortly announce the allotment to take place September 1st A correspondent residing In Canaries, Sonora. Mexico, writes to the Salt Lake Herald and inquires If an American living m that country can participate in the drawing without being in Utah at the moment. It has been a general rule In the department of the Interior that a person desiring to take advantage of the opening of a reservation must be within the state or territory in which the land la located. Aa regards the matter of allotments. It Is believed by the local government officials that the system observed during recent years will be followed when the Uintah reservation Is officially declared open. In bygone years It was the custom for persons seeking homesteads to gather on the line of the boundary at a fixed hour on the opening day and to make a wild dash into the reservation, and for each to camp on the land he or she might select That system led to all sorts of trouble not only physical but judicial. To obviate all possible disputes, a new plan was adopted. By this latter scheme a would-b- e settler notifies the local land office of his intention to file a claim, and, after he has satisfied the government officials as to his responsibility, a number is given him, and on the day set for the opening the applicant attends the drawing at the land ' office. It Is customary under the new mode to select a hundred numbers each day by what might be called a lottery process. That Is. all the numbers are placed In a box. which Is then well shaken, and the holders of the first hundred drawn out are entitled to file their rlalms. The next days the procedure is continued, and so on until the last number is drawn. In this way there is no rush to preempt a claim, and each applicant stands an equal show with his neighbor. It is believed that this system will be adopted for the opening of the Uintah reservation. In which event disputes will be avoided and the filing of claims will be made in an orderly and a legal manner. The secretary of the Interior has asked the secretary of agriculture to have the lands for the proposed forest reserve In the Uintah Indian reservation In Utah selected and set aside preparatory to making the allotments to the Indians of the reservation provided for by the last act of congress. It is expected that the allotments will begin in April. After they are completed the remaining lands will he thrown open to settlement. uiiod-serva- NORDICA MEET WILL BE OPENED low-roof- ed people are imbued with u profound reverence for their religion.

To the Editors of Ogden: Dear Sirs: For many years an editor myself, I address you by request and as a simple duty to attest the genuineness of the recent discovery In this city of the cure for Brights Disease and Diabetes.

I not only know by contact with many of the beneflcarles but was myself rescued from Bright's Disease. After my own unexpected release I wouldn't let my friends rest and several took the treatment and recovered. One was Charles F. Wfecker, the Sixth street merchant He had Diabetes and thought he was going to die. He got well and passed for a 85,000 policy.

A squad of about a dosen athletes X composing the Ogden high school track team are using every spare moment toward conditioning themselves for the state Interscholastic track and field meet, which takes place at Balt Lake City on May 18th. The meet will be given under the auspices of the University of Utah, and promises to be the fastest in the history of that Institution. These lnterscholastic meets have become very popular all over the country, especially In the states which have large universities. Such Institutions promote these events with a view of obtaining a line on high school athletes to fill vacancies in the university track, football and baseball teams. Men like Pernsteln, Dully, Hernsteln, Cochems and O'Dea have been developed in this manner, whereas their athletic qualities might never have been known of but tor the annual high school track meets A meeting was held at Salt Lake on Saturday at which were present the following representatives: A. H. MacMillan, J. R. Calvert and M. Brownell, Ogden; J. B. Allison, Park City; Earl Shores of the East Side High school, and Fred Hale of the West Side High school of Salt Lake. Officials for the meet were decided upon, and the following program was made up: Three hundred yard dash, two hundred yard dash, quarter and half mile runs, a shot-pu- t, hammer throw, high and broad Jumps, pole vault and a relay race. The Ogden, Park City ana two Salt Lake schools have expressed a willingness to enter the teams The local boys are training faithfully, but have been remaining in the background, and promise to spring some dark horses, ss they did last year, when they came within a hairs breadth of defeating both of the Salt Lake teams All told, the meet will he worth going to see.
