Considerable building is predicted for the Indian village of Kluckwan by the amount of lumber which was purchased the past week by some Of the natives who came down for that purpose.
 The lumber will be fretghted out on sleds and will be used to finish number of the houses there which when completed will make beautiful homes.
 It is surprising to a visitor in Kluckwan to see the number of fine large homes which have been erect ed thaie hy the Natives, on the banks of the Chilcat.-Haines Pioneer Press.

IMPROVEMENTS MADE
 AT GRANDsY SHELTER,

GRAND FORKS, April 3-Ihe meth cd of disposing of the slag or waste matter from the ore at the Grandby smelter Il his city is being changed the slag being once more run out in a granulated condition.
 During the first three years o2er- ations at he plant the system of Cranulation was adopted, but owing to the loose slag taking up so much room and running into the Kettle river, was abandoned. and the s.aE taken from the settlers at the fUrn- aces in a molten condition. Since that time it has been allowed to run into huge pots. containing six tons each. which were hauled by engines to the dump and while still in molten condition was dumped.
 By dumping the slag hot the Gran by has secured a yard over mile in length and varying in width from 100 to 800 feet, and as the haul from the works 10 the dump has become" so long. and making this method so expensive. the company last year de- cided to again adopt the Sranulauon system. only using a much more i'm proved method of handling the sla~.
 It is officially stated that with tho new system the GranJy will have dumping room for the vase material from 5000 900 tons of ore. which means that the question of the dis poSal of the slag from their eight furnaces will not require any at tention on the part of the company for the next five years.
 The installation of the new system cost the Granby in the neighborhood of $SO,OOO. but will mean a large say ing to the company in the cost of treating thier low grade ores. doing away with. as it will. a miniature railway system and a large army of employees now necessary to carry on the work.

WILL THE BIC CHIEF" GIVE
 BRAVES FAIR PLAY.

The petition of the Natives of Sit ka to the department of the Interior So- e modification of the rules gov eruins the killing Of seals out at sea from Sjtka exposes another hardship which the people oG Alaska have to bear owing to ignorance on the part Of those having control over the af- fairs of Alaska,
 For many generations the Natives have been accustomed to 90 cut in the ocean about thirty miles west of Sitka and kill the seals as they mi grated from the south to the seal is- lands to the Westward in the Spring. and while the number killed vas very small in comparison with tke number killed by the companies leaSing the islands, it has been a source OS reveuUe to the Natives and helped to make them selt-suUHortiOE IL IS well known that the govern meRt paid millions oG dollars in guard ing and patrOlliEg the coast to keep os' American and British so-ea1|ed poachers while the Japanese sealers have hovered around, presumably ou,- stie the three mile limit and killed thousands of the Sea,s. uo matter what season of the year.
 Now for the department to make a rule p7ohibtu0s the use of guns oy the Natives in killing seals is nothing more o7 less than s,orpinS them al1oge;her. for they miSht as well have made the rule that the seals must be taken by putting saT or their tails as ,o regime they must b. spea7ed.

 The Alaskan Natives hunted and tashed. trapped and cut lumber, he fore the white man came to take all Ihis from them. without even say ing by your leave and the Native has said nothing.
 This sealing rest-istto0--.t Is but the to7euauer Of another restriction which viu take from them the right to kin meat and take fish for the sustaiuance O; their wives and child rer. and cut timber for the.r homes. unless they do it THUS AND so.
 Educational statistics show that the Alaskan Native is of the very highest type of Indian to be found On the American continent The evo- lutoa Of one generation brings him from a supersacious. and ignorant savage. to I seIt-respectag, sef-suH- porting. intelligent people.
 Let the Congressional committees investigate the work accompEshed by Father Duncan and the Sitka Pres5y. te-fan Training School in advancing the welfare Of the Alaskan Native. and take steps to provide employ neat for him after he has received his training at the hands Of these institutions. and congress will then be doing that of which it will in generations to come. be rightly proud.
