BUSY TIME AT THE
 OARCRoSs INDIAN SCHOOL

work being conducted at the Yukon Indian school at carcross is given in the little newspaper which is published there by the teachers and the students. It is called the NSrth- ern Light, and deals largely with the missionary and Indian work in the territory. The school has manual training department, to which reference is made. The con- dition of the fur market as 1t af- fleets the Indians and the new indus try of fox growing receive attention in the publication. The November edition, just received, says:
 Owing to the war the usual big game parties up the McMillan have been postponed. There are only two exceptions.
 Fur raising has come to be one of the recognized industries of the Yukon, and Carcross at present leads the territorv both in number and size of it's fur farms. The larger boys of the school have made their spending money, not only In hunting gophers and rabbits for fox feed, but in some eases in catching live minks. The money the boys make in this way is their own, though we try and advise them not to spend it foolishly, as they are somewhat prone to do. Alfred mas started an account in the postal say ing bank. We hope that others will follow his example.
 The school crops have been sue cessfully harvested. Owing to the short time that the school has been on the present site, the amount Of ground under cultivation is not large, but new ground is being edd- ed each year. This year the yield was about eight tons of hay, two tons of oats and rye to be used as fodder, sixty bushels of potatoes and other garden vegetables in pro portion. On account of the eleva- ton and latitude, many things that fwould naturally be expected cannot be raised at all.
 During the month o' August, J. IIawksley. superintendent of Indian affairs for the Yukon territory, paid an official visit to the school in con- nection with the new workshop ana Iseptic tank, which have been con structed by the department of h. dian affairs. The workshop will add greatly to the efficiency of the work done by the school, as manual training is by far the most import ant thing for an Indian boy, who has to earn his living in the Yukon. l It is hoped that the septic tank will successfully solve the drainage prob Iom, which has been source of trouble for sine time.
 Bishop and Mrs. Stringer stayed some days at the school on their way homo from England. During his stay the bishop held confirma- tion service ill Carcross, at which Bella Njootli, one Of the girls of the school, and daughter of the Rev. Amos Njootli, of Rampant i House, was confirmed. Bella returns to her Arctic home next summer where it is hoped, she will have a strong influence for good.
 With the passing of Miss E.. Hutchison, who last month resigned her position as teacher ill the school the staff loses the last of it's old members. Miss Hutchison came. to Carcross in 1865. She has worked under Bishop Bompas, Rev. J. Hawksley, Archdeacon Canham and Mr. Evans, as well as the present management. She knew the school as a couple of log shacks, and has seen it grow into the present com modious building. Miss Hutchison has known real pioneer missionary | life at a time when conveniences were by no means as numerous as at present, and we are sure that all who are interested in the Yukon 1 diocese will join with the members of the staff in wishing her every happiness in her well earned rest Miss Hutchison's address for the present will be 3946 Iverness street, IVancouver.
