NOT WAN FED Canadian Indian? Unwel come Visitors nt Sitka The Sitka Cablegram is "i1 in arms because the Tsimpsean Indians of Brit ish Columbia are permitted to come to Sitka and compete with the Alaskan Indians in the sealing business. H ?avt: "The Cablegram maintains its orig inal contention that the * is t of the Tsimpeeans was a thing to be discour aged. not invited. The loc*i Indians depend a most wholly on tisl.mg and hunting for their livelihood. The money they eatn is spent in Sitka. They contend at great disadvantage with the Tsimpseans, who have modern weapons, modern boats and modern methods. While contact with thess three elements may do something in the way of advancing the local native through creating a spirit of ennlatior, the fact remains that practically only a certain number of seals may be caught here regardless of weapons, boats or methods Kach seal caught by the Tsimf-seaus means so much taker, from the Indians, and in turn, means that Sitka as a whole will be deprived the use of money that otherwise would have been put in circulation heir. The Cablegram is opposed to any move ment that will reduce the income of any resident whatever his nationality."

Oft In five year* Piill would make an application for a better position, but three application* ' only brought the post of baggage a cent at a new station o|*h?\1 near liis cabin with Mamtta wage*. After thla he frequently made application* for aome thins better till the superintendent l>e came weary of reading them and re nolved to put a stop to them. Vp the road was a station. Alpena, near which lived a cang of men witr succeeded In always riding free The war they managed It was this: a trim countenance with a background of shock v lialr and a sonibrera would ap pear at the window and ask for a tick et. The agent wonM do the ne>-essnry stamping and throw tlie ticket down, mentioning the amount due. Tlx- appli cant wonkl pick up the ticket and walk away without making any payment. The a pent knew If he declined to sub mit to this one sided way of doing business the a|>plicant would poke a revolver th ranch the opening and be (Tin to shoot. _ The superintendent on receipt or Phil's last application wrote him that In view of his Ion* and faithful serv ice on the mad be was promoted to he station apent at Alpena. The writer chuckled as he dictated the letter and congratulated himself upon not In fu ture tx'jnc troubled by the bacgaiT man's applications As for Phil, he knew all about the gang'a operatloos and saw at once that unless lie collect ed the fares he would he removed If he collected them, he must take his chances of being shot. He thought the matter over, resolved to accept the sit uation and made his preparations ac cordingly. ? Since Phil had lieen known In the country roundabout as a peaceable^ plodding fellow, so soon as the gang heard of his appointment they made up their minds to make more frequent and longer trips. The second morning aft er the new agent took his place In the offi<v one of their number walked up to the hole and asked for a ticket. "Fire dollars and thirty cents," said Phil in a feeble mice. "Oitnrne the ticket. 1 don't pay till 1 git tlie goods." said the man. lazily drawing a *veap>n from liis lilp. Quick as a flash a revolver was thrust through tlie hole from within, a shot rang out. ami the applicant for a ticket dropped dead. There was no one else In the station at the time, ami Phil, going to the baggage room, took out an oblong bos. put the corpse In It. nailed down the ltd. tacked a card on It on which was written tlie address of the superintend ent and sent It by the next train, with a railway ticket nml Inclosed In an envelope On a piece of paper he wrote to go with the rest : Ticket sold this morning Vol used tVn't know what to do with It er the mom v. an forward them to you.

Alpena When the superintendent rend this note ami learned from the bearer that there w*s a coffin shaped b ax In the bagpipe room awaitinc hi* order* he was more astonished than If he hail been Informed that the whole line of the road had been swallowed by an earthquake. He walked the floor for awhile In deep meditation, then t>w?k Phil's note to the president. That afternoon there was a meeting of the board of directors, with the road's attorney In attendance, who as snred them that sinee Phil had not re eelved nor could prove that he had re reived onlers to kill any a|>pllcant for a ticket who refused to pay his fare, none of them would he liable to lie ar rested ami tried for murder, Phil waa alone responsible: but considering the lawless state of the country and the character of the unsuccessful applicant for a free rkte. It was not believed that the man who had shot htm would be molested. The body was sent back to Alpena for burial, and Thll was directed not to kill any more deadhead ticket appli cants. Rut Phil did not need to kill any more of them. The others, taking warning from the fate of their compan ion, found it unnecessary to travel often thereafter on the road and when they did. not being sure but the station agent, fearing that they had come to practice their former methods. wonKl shoot to kill, always paid their fare on the train. Indeed PhU Carlton'* ad ministration of the affairs of Alpena station proved so satisfactory that be was summoned to the main office with a view to determining If he were not capable of filling some Important post tlon. Not being an educated man. this waa not to be considered So Phil was made aui>erintendant of stations, at a salary of IW..W a year When the lawless cittern* along the line Interfer ed with the company's Interest* he was sent to overawe them. This w?* all that waa required of him. and a* hia cvpktlt at Alpena had made him famous ava fighter he was never oblig ed to tight. His preseni-e alone was quite sufficient to restore the refrac tory to their senses. Gradually the country along the line of the road became clrlllited. and PhU'a occupation I icing gone, he was retired on ttfo-thirfls' pay. Meanwhile ho had removed to a comfortable home. wMch he now owns. His chlklren werv edn cated. and his boy was taken Into tbe railroad service and advanced rapidly. 8 MARS11 M l. THORNH.
