Wonderful Transformation by Redskins
of the Island of Metiakahtla.
Rev. W. Duncan, of Metlakahtla,
Alaska, is portly, benevolent looking
old gentleman of perhaps sixty-fve
years, and the world has been made
better by the grand work in which the
declining years of his life Are being
spent. When interviewed by reporter
he was reticent at first in speaking of
the fruits of his philanthropic labors in
the land by the frozen sea, saying that a
description of the colony he had founded
would seem better coming from the lips
of disinterested parties.
"Metlakahtla," said the venerable mis-
sionary, sis situated on an island in the
archipelago in the southeastern part of
Alaska. It is a colony founded three
years and half ago, when organized
thirteen bands of British Columbia In
dians, and by showing them the virtues
of a city and government of their own
and instilling in their minds the beauties
of a civilized existence, induced them to
migrate to the far north, where they
would live in peace and security and
where they would not be disturbed in
their peaceful possessions.
"Today there is city of 800 souls at
Metlakahtla, and the settlement is a
fourishing and happy one. I am one of
those who reject the declaration that the
only good Indian is the dead one. am
able to demonstrate that the best Indian
is live one.
"Three years ago the forest primeval
stood on the site where now many happy
Indians live, in many pleasant cottages.
There are sixty-one capacious houses in
the city. For three years was the only
white man in the settlement. I have re-
Gently been joined by an assistant, how
ever, in the person of DR.. Blewett. You
might say that the Indians have an eye
to real estate values, for they all wanted
corner lots, SO that / was compelled to
divide the blocks each into four lots.
Everybody is satisfied, for an inside lot
is not to be found there.
"The inhabitants live by hunting and
fishing. but the latter occupation has
branched out into large industry now,
and ! am here to obtain necessary ma
chinery and an outfit for salmon can
merry there.
II would rather have tourist speak
of our colony than to dwell upon its
merits myself. Should you visit our
island you would be surprised to find a
city of Indians and natives with only
two exceptions. We have government
which is an Indian council presided over
by an Indian chief. The young ones are
taught in commodious schools, and in
my absence a native teacher is instruct
ing them.
I'm olden days the Indian tribes were
envious of each other, and feuds were
incessant and war was business. In
our colony the hatchet is buried out of
sight, the tribal jealousies are forgotten
in the educated life and the weapons of
war have been nodded into implements
of peace.
'We have a native corps of constables
and officers to attend to the city's health
and sanitation. We have entertainments,
too, and splendid music is furnished by
our Indian band of twenty instruments
We have large sawnill conducted by
Indians, and never was happier colony
than that of the British Columbia Indians
on the island of Metlakahtla. Seattle

THE BOAT UPSET.
A Boating Party at West Lake Park
Come to Grief.


Come to Grief.
There was an accident on the water at
West Lake park yesterday afternoon
which, but for the promptness and en-
ergy of the keeper of the boat house,
might have resulted fatally to several
people. A gentleman and two ladies,
one OF whom was carrying baby in her
arms, engaged sailboat at the landing
and started out auspiciously to enjoy a
ride, the gentleman stating that he
knew how to handle sailboat and
needed no assistance. He showed
good deal of skill for awhile, and the
party had made several turns about the
lake before the accident occurred, when,
having approached the east shore, it be-
came necessary to "go about" and take
another tack. The maneuver was made
carelessly and the boom came about
with such force that, together with the
weight of the four occupants of the
yacht, who were all on the lea side, the
thing capsized.
The screams of the women as they
foundered in the water could be heard
all over the park, and assistance was at
once directed toward them. A single
oarsman near by reached the spot first,
but the lifeboat came Immediately after,
and the women and baby were rescued
without difficulty and placed in it.
The unlucky yachtsman gave valuable
assistance in getting his companions
out of the water. and as soon as all were
landed, shivering and wet, at the boat
house, carriage was sent for and they
were conveyed to their homes. The
baby was the least injured OF the four,
and chuckled and laughed after the oc-
currence as if it really enjoyed the

r. D. MAC LEAN.
BY RALPH RICHARDS.

Feeling that If all our readers are as
deeply infatuated with the acting of r.
D. MacLean as ourselves, story more
interesting could not be told than a
short sketch of the life of our phenom-
inally talented visitor of last week, we
will in as faithful manner as possible
report the following, given us by a
friend who is acquainted with both Mr..
MacLean and his family.
The actors father, but two weeks
dead, was Virginia millionaire, and it
was against his wishes that the son be-
gan a stage career. When however he
found that his son had determined to
attempt his chosen profession, he Of
fered him forty thousand dollars and a
richly stocked plantation of several hun
dred acres, to stay and comfort him in
his declining years. But with prom
Use given that the name should not be
disgraced, riches and ease were left be-
hind, for small part in travelling the
atrical company.
This state of things did not, as we all
we'll know, exist long however. for the
name of K. d. MacLear was destined to
pass into the history of the stage as one
OF lis DrlgnteSt stars.
+ The father, observing that the world
looked with favor upon his boy, soon
came to the conclusion that it was a
better Judge of talent and the fitness of
things than himself and was reconciled.
About five years ago Mr.. MacLean be-
came associated with Marie Prescott, an
actress whose reputation has made her
too we'll and favorably known to need
any mention from us, and this combina-
ton has continued, much to the salts
faction of the critical public eye, to this
day.
Right at the beginning of that period
of enjoyment following fully developed
manhood, with the weight of his thirty
one years upon his head, Robert ID.
MacLean stands on the top round of the
ladder of fame, before an admiring aud
ieace-the great American republic.

the scientific world needs such representative,
who should be of more authority and more

appointed the committee.
