 LANDS BY WILSON

Superintendent of Indian Schools w. G. Beattie has received advices to the effect that President Wood row Wilson has set aside an Indian reservation approximately 500 acres of land at Klukwan to be known as the Klukwan Indian reservation.

This was made manifest through homesteader who came within the prescribed boundaries in laying out his claim for a home stead. The Klukwans are a very in- dustrious people and have cultivated the soil in the neighborhood of Kluk- wan for years.
