It will be somewhat of a shock to those familiar with the customs of the Indians to learn that the Skidgate vil- lagers are spending their own money for light and water sys- tems.

St. Michael. In 1905 half breed Russian named Pitka ap peared in St Michael with a sack of coarse gold, but would give no further information. The so-called Pitka bar be- came famous locally, and many miners and prospectors for years sought to locate it-al- ways in the neighborhood on Anvik. Owing to having pre- formed some service for the halfbreed, a man named Enge- stad became friendly with Pitka, and the latter agreed to take him to the bar. They set out with a sled, but Pitka died on the way, owing to eXcesses in which he indulged in spend- ing gold dust. He was hauled back to St. Michael, and the secret died with him. For the past two years miners have been working in the Andreafski district with encouraging re- suits. Now it is alleged that the Pitka bar has been relocat- ed. Among the prospectors who are said to have sought the famous Pitka bar is Rodes the author of the Kuskokwiw stampede in 1900. He sought some few friends here, and was grubstaked by some St. Michealites, returned few days ago with something over an ounce of coarse gold and nuggets. The exact amount is not known, as he was intensely secretive, this time confering solely with his grubstakers.. Three days later he and his packers to man started up the Yukon, telling no one of

The republic of Liberia was founded in 1920 by the American Colonization society, which was es- tablished by Henry Clay in 1916. The capital of the republic, Mon- rovia, was so named in honor of James Monroe, president of the United States at the time the re- public was founded. Many blacks were taken over from this country, with the idea that, having become civilized to certain extent here, they would act as valuable assist ants to the natives in the work of managing the fortunes of the new state.
