ALASKA INDIANS
SIGN PEACE PACT
ON NOVEMBER IL

Sitka, Alaska. - Correspondence
of the Associated Press War,
mostly of the smoldering variety
but which in past generations has
blazed up and drawn blood, no
longer exists between the Sitka and
Wrangell clans of the KockWan-
Ton caste of the Thlinket Indian
tribe of southeastern Alaska. Peace
was declared at meeting Nov. IL,
the same day on which the world
war armistice was signed.
Democratic principles, taught the
younger Indians by the United
States government teachers, pre-
vailed at the peace conference. The
Indians decided to set aside their
tribal customs Disputes, the In
dams decided, in the future will be
settled by the white mans law, in
stead of by hostilities.
No Indian now living can remem
Der the time when the Sitkas and
WrangeIls were at peace. There
has been bad blood between them
for years. The last futile attempt
to make peace took place in the
early sos, when Jack Yaquan, faith
er of one of the delegates at the last
meeting, led his tribe of Sitkas to
Wrangell to make peace. A war
cry greeted their arrival and near
ly all of the visitors were massa-
cred by the Wrangells Chief va
guam was among the Sitkas killed.
Old men of the tribe, it is said,
refused to let the hostility die and
endeavored to keep alive the fires
of hatred. With the passing of
many of the old tribesmen. how
the younger men, imbued with the
them in the government schools,
decided they wanted peace.
In 1917 Chief Shaks of the Wran-
gels opened paacS negotiations
with Jack Yaquan of the Sitkas.
He urged the sending of peace del
egates to Wrangell. where, he pro
posed, the leaders of the two clans
should heal the old wounds. So at
the close of the fishing season a
delegation of Sitkas went to Wran-
CELL, and. after a week of pow
vows" decided to let bygones be
bygones and to abolish the old Gus
toms Chief Shaks. the father of
the peace move, died before the
meeting was held
So now there is peace on the
northern waters and islands and
the Sitkas and WrangeIls will no
longer live in fear of each other.
When out on their hunting and
fishing trips or when laying their
winter trap lines they will visit
each other and be friends.

HIGH BRED OR HYBRID?

In campaign to retire scrub
bulls from the herds of the state,
seven Wisconsin counties have

Of Fond du Lac county, which in
one month placed ~ pure-bred

that never before had had pure
bred sires. The drive against scrub
sires was started at the December
conference of Wisconsin county
agents, and is in charge of a steer

OF agriculture, leading stockmen
and officers of farmers organiza-

elimination of the scrub and grade

nurses at the Colorado Training
school before she entered the army

pare themselves for their part in
the reconstruction period, not in
the devastated regions of Europe,

the time our wounded soldiers are
beginning to feel only bitterness at
the thought of the missing leg

work will turn up. The boys will

Washington Dec. IS in an effort to
have the housing projects on the IL
linois side of the river carried
through to completion and plans
not curtailed in any way as were
those in some cities of the COun-

ent Monday when a further hearing
in the case will be held before the
house committee.
He will also meet J. c. McCar
