Editor Dnily Alaskan,
Dear Sir:
A short article by Dr. Leon J
Williams, anthropologist, reproduc
ed in yesterday's issue of your pa
yer, states his belief that a skull
foui.d by Charles Dawson in a grav
el plateau was that of a man who
lived fuliy five hundred thousand
years ago. The only ground for his
belief appears to be that "11016 de
posits in caves in which similar
skulls and bones have been dis
covered were under stalagmite
which, forming at the present rate,
would take at least six hundred
thousand veal's to complete the for
mation'' Now 1 venture to ask:
Joes stalagmite form at a constant
rate? Here is what another scien
tist, Sir Bertram Wiudle, M. D.,
Sc. L>. &e. Professor of Archeology,
University College, Cork, has to say
on jus this point:
"When an inscription—as to the
i,c:iuines» of which no doubt seems
to be entertained—was discovered
ill Kent's Cave near Torquay, with
the date liiSS, and with a thin coat
of stalagmite over it, it seemed as
if we might get some ratio ;is to
the time which must have been
taken in forming the vast floor of
stalagmite investigated in that cav
ern, beneath which were objects of
j human manufacture. Yet observa
tions in another cave alter a great
'iood which had lifted the floors,
brought o ligh ginger-beer bottles
under a layer of stalagmite a foot
:u thickness.
| The _fact is that the rate of dep
. >siiiMi of stalagmite depends upon
a whole range of factors, such as
Itiio amount of moisture aand
the quantity of dissolved carbonic
acid which i' contains, and 110 esti
mu'e of time can be founded upon
i" with any sort of security."
Sincerely yours.

I Juneau on the last trip of the

ATI! NOTES
(Speclul Correspondence)
Atlln, Jan. 27—Considerable ex
citement has been creaated through
out the district over the recent
rich strikes on O'Donnel creek. Re
p rts have been brought to town
that pans with values of as high as
$80 have been made, and InasmmucH
as the creek is fully 60 miles in
length, in addition to a number of
tributaries, it has caused a small
stampede from here. Tcm White
brought in a large polk of gold last
week and claims that recovered
$80 worth • of the precious metal
in one pan.
Mr. Partridge and family arrived
in Atlln from the mines on Taku
Arm and will remain for a few days.
The Over The Seas club gave
their annual dance last Monday ev

joyable affair.

district court notes.
Ben Booth and Victor McNeol,
two soldiers from Fort Seward,
were sentenced to three months in
the Federal jail by Judge R. W.
Jennings today upon pleading guilty
to the indictment charging them
•.tith selling liquor to Indians. A.
Fox addressed the cou't for the for
mer and J. H. Cobb performed the
same service for th latter. Both
attorneys laid stress upon the fact
ihat dismissal from the army would
b a severe punishment that would
follow in addition to any sentence
that might be imposed upon them
by the court.
Before sentence was passed up
on the latter H. H. Folsom, assist
an* district attorney, asked him if
he was the soldier that, had gone
to Deputy marshal Warren Harding,
telling hint that he had sola liquor
to Indiauns and asking him to come
along and see some others who had
done the same thing wi'h the idea
of getting convicted an' through
this dismissal from the army. Mc
Neel denied any such act stating
that he had only two years to serve.
Are soldiers breaking into jail to
discontinue their services with the
army? Deputy Marshal Warren
Harding of Haines precinct believes
they are. It is said that several
young men enlisted believing that
they were to be sent to Mexico and
that upon being sent to Fort Sew
ard instead, that they are sorry and
seeking means of getting out. Con
victions of a felony opens the way
for discharge and the way seems an
easy one.
William Davidson and Ben Booth,
both of whom were indicted for the
crime of selling liquor *.o Indians,
entered pleas of guilty.
William Davidson, who entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of sell
ing liquor to Indians, was this after
noon sentenced to one year in the
Federal jail by Judge R. W. Jen
nings. It was his second conviction
for a similar offense. Attorney N.
L. Burton put up a good talk for
clemency.—Juneau Dispatch.

HANDICAPPED.
Tliis is the Case With Many Alas*
kan People.
Too many Alaskan citizens are
handicapped with ba backs. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis
ery, making work a burden and stoop
ing or lifting an impossibility. The
back aches at night, preventing re
freshing rest and in the morning is
stiff and lame. Plasters and lini
ments may give relief but cannot
reach the cause if the kidneys are
weak. To eliminate the pains and
aches of kidney backache you must
cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for dis
ordered kidneys.
The following statement should
convince every Alaskan reader of
their 'ficiency.
Mrs. S. E. Ralnwa.tr, 1207 E. Wa
ter St., Albany, Ore., sayB: "I am
always willing to speak a good word
for Doan's Kidney Pills in return fo
the benefit they brought me after
other medicines and doctors' treat
ment had failed. I could get no
sleep and in the morning was all tir
ed out. Doan's Kidney Pills made
a cure. Since then when I have had
slight attacks of the old trouble, I
have taken Doan's Kidney Pills.
They have always given the bast re
sults."
