WASHINGTON, Nov 16-The
old kassan national monument
consisting Of thirty eight acres with

IA, has just been created by presi-
Dental proclamation as result OF
recommendation made by the secre-
taiy Of agriculture The tract em-
TRACES the well-known abandoned
i5iada indian Village OF Old Kassan.
situated on Prince Of Wales Island
IN southeastern Alaska, about thirty
miles west OF Ketchikan.
,ne village was abandoned by the
Indians aboutten years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are
about fifty indian totem poles, five or
SIX OF which are cIassed as exceed
inElS good specimens. In the desert
no village there are also eight large
saU:tre buildings which were original
ly constructed according to the pecul-
lar plan Of the HaIda Indians. and
which, it is stated by those best quail
fled to know. represent the best specf-
mems OF Hiada architecture that now
exist The largest of these buildings
is approximately forty by sixty feet
in size and is made entirely OF hound
and carved tim-bers. There also re-
main q number Of Indian graves with
LHe lypIcal small grave houses erect
ed by the Alaskan Indians.
Since the Village was abandoned by
the Indians the buildings have been
rapidly falling into q state or dilapi-
dation and decay and a certain
amount Of vandalism by tourists and
souvenir hunters renders some form
Iof protection essential. An examine
tion.of the area vas made Jointly by
representative of the forest service
and Of the interior department. and
reports strongly urging the establish
Ement Of a national monument were
tap7roved by the secretaries of both
departments. The Smithsonian Insti-
Tuition strongly endorsed the proposi-
| tion for the establishment Of a ma
