ALASKA NATIVE
 GETS HEADLINE
 SEATTLE PAPER

An ambitious Indian with high ideals and an iron determination, who plunged through a maelstrom of contempt and scorn and emerged victorious in fight to tear the redskin colony of Southeastern Al aska away from the old superstitions and weird customs; who spent his last $500 to erect a church for the natives, and who successfully led a movement for home government for the native villages-says the eSattle Times.
 Such is "Old John" Wallace, one 2f Alaska's most distinguished na- ture-tanned sons, who is now Se- attle visitor with his daughter, Dorothy, IT years old. Probably no other Indian in the North has work ed harder to elevate the native to '.merican ideals than Wallace, and he is now happy and lcontented in the realization that the fight has been successful.
 "Old Johns" face, scanned by time, and hands calloused with years of hard work, is, now a busy man like hundreds of his country men. He owns two stores at Hyda- burg, Alaska, and is also city coun- cilman of the remarkable little town on Prince of Wales Island.
 "The old-time Indian has virtual y gone now" said Wallace It's Ill so much better, too. In Hyda- burg we have town run exclus- vely by Indians, with a big store nd a sawmill operated on CO., operative basis. Two dividends are distributed to the stockholders each year. There are about 300 Indians tt Hydaburg and nearly all of hem are stockholders in these two enterprises.
