While assisting in the moving of a
small building near the Clemons chop
mill, Tuesday, ]. C. Burke was seri-
ously injured when one of the prying

No other locality is quite like old
Kassan National Monument,' a unique
tract of land held by the United States
government. 1t consists of thirty-eight
acres within the ,Tongass national for
est, Alaska, and the tract embraces the
well known abandoned Haida Indian
village of Old Kassan, situated on
Prince Of Wales island, in southeastern
Alaska, about thirty miles west of
the city of Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about ten years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are about
fifty Indian totem poles, five or six Of
which are classed as exceedingly good
specimens. In the deserted village
there are also eight large square build
ings which were originally construct
ed according to the peculiar plan of the
Hatda Indians and which, it is stated
by those best qualified to know, repre-
sent the best specimens of Haida ar
chttecture that now exist. The largest
OF these buildings is approximately 40
by 60 feet in size and is made entirely
OF round and carved timbers.
There also remain q number of In
dian graves, with the typical small
grave houses erected by the Alaskan
Indians. "Kassan' is said to be the
Indian word which means "a pretty

AS mountains the Cotswolds cannot

startled to observe that the attendant
was the living reproduction of the
driver Of the hearse in his dream. he

took place in the mechanism, and the

back its roots to the most ancient

Upon the death Of the father he be-
came by the unwritten law, which
