COUEISM IS OLD TO ESKIMOS
OF ALASKA SAYS ONE WOMAN
fSeattle Pow.-Inteliigem -r \
Eskimos of Alaska h.:v< bt-^n prac
ticing Coucism for hundreds of years !
But Instead of using thn formula
"Day by day in every way.” they;
sing and chant the mystic spell,
which is thej| only protection against
illness.
This is the statement of Mrs. |
VashU Dalton, traveler, explorer,
composer and piayright, who is at
the St. Regis. Mrs. Dalton is now
writing a play of the North, “The
Vnwritten Law,” in which some of
the leading parts are to be takon by
natives.
Mrs. Dalton has Mazed new trails
alone through Alaska for the last 17
years. She lived for four years with
an Eskimo family and declares she
was the ffl-st to preserve the lan!
guage in written form. She has also
preserved'some of the folk songs and
legends of the natives.
“The natives practice their weird I
form of Coueism by means of a chant j
called 'The Song of the Deathless
Voices.’'” she declared. “When any-;
one falls ill, neighbors and friends
take turns in singing the weird
chant'”’
For che-wing gum. the Eskimo flap
per chews the hide of a seal, she!
says.
Mrs. Daltofi has made a number j
of motion pictures depicting Eskimo j
legends. She declares the slang and i
dgnce ball themes of the Robert W.
poems do not reflect Diet

I The niiost gratifying item, however.
, said Colonel Steese, pud one that
wan Increased only with greatest <1 if
I ficulty. was that for the construction
of roads and frails In Alaska, for
which $(550,000 was appropriated. This
is an increase of 40 per cent over the
amount originally recommended by
the Budget and included In the House
measure. There was strong opposi
tion in the House to the increase to
$1,000,000 which the Senate allowed
and it was only overcome after per
sonal contact hail been established
, by Colonel Steesr through the assist
ance of Representative C. P. Curry,
of California, with Chairman Madden
of the House appropriation commit
tee. The aid given by Mr. Curry,
who is chairman of the committee
on Territories, was invaluable, said
Colonel Steese. Other items allowed
included 'an appropriation of $750,
000 for the next fiscal year for the
Alaska cable and authorization for
Incurring obligations for an addition*,
al $750,000 on the same project; ap
proximately $2,000,000 for the Alaska
Railroad, covering $1,000,000 for oper
ations and a like amount for con
struction.
No Plans Settled
Plans for the consolidation of the
activities of the Alaska Road Com
mission and the Alaska Engineering
Commission will not be consummated
ubbil after a conference between
Colonel Steese. Colonel Mears and
Colonel 04fWl%l-i which will be held

: accompanying them to Anchorage.
|Colonel Gottwals has been appointed
as vice-chairman of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, the first time
a second member has served on that
body since 1915.
The Road Commission and the rail
road organization, said Colonel Stese,
will be maintained as separate en
tities, the former remaining as in
the past under the War Department.
|and the laltter continuing under the
|Department of the Interior, where it
has been sine? ?he inception of the'
railroad project.' The consolidated
i arrangement, said Colonel Steese,
i will be continue^ until some perraan
’ | ent form of organization for opera
tion is settled upon by Congress.
This maltler was not touched by Con
egress this session.
Maintain >Local Offices
While no arrangements for the fu
| turo were discussed by Colonel
I Steese he said that the local offices
j of the Alaska Road Commission
| would be continued here, and that
lie would spend a's much time here in
the future as had been done in the
past.
The Road Commission’s work this
season, while not definitely outlined,
will be considerably enlarged. The
Federal appropriation, combined with
‘he Alaska Fund and the co-operative
funds provided by the Territory, if
this arrangement is continued, will
make available approximately $900,
000 for maintenance and construction
of rogds and traits by the Commis
sion.
Colonel Steese was accompanied
by Capt. P. A. Agnew, recently as
signed 'to duty with the Commission
as Disbursing Officer, vice Capt. A.
H. Bond, who was relieved on ac
- count of illness. Captain Agnew has
been on duty in Washington for the

DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 28.—“Will
the next Mayor of Detroit be a busi

tled at the primary election March 7
in tho Automobile City.
iFor almost two months, since;
Mayor James Couzcns was appointed1
to the United States Senate by Gov-j
ernor Alexander J. Groesbeck to sue-i

tho battle has been on. The candi

as tho business man; -former Con
gressman Frank E. Doremus, from
tho Eard Side, and J. W. lnche.s, who
resigned as head of the Detroit Po
lice Department to run.
•Brown and Inches are Republicans
and Doremu3 is a Democrat, but this
I is a non-partisan affair.
Tho Republican following is divided
between Brown and Inches, while
t.he element dominated by William F. I
Connolly, Democratic loader, is be-1
hind Doremus.
Until February 1 there was one
other leading factor in tho race, for

Republican, whoso withdrawal was

Tho angle of the situation is thati
