No Work on Dry
 Pass This Year

L. B. Chisholm recently wrote to Colonel Steese regarding the Dry Pass project. Following are excerpts from the letter of reply received from Colonel Steese
 Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of the 18th ultimo, concern ing the improvement of Dry Pass, near Shakan.
 In reply I have to advise that nothing can be done upon this pro- ject until authority is received from Congress to make an examination and report.
 In anticipation of such action by Congress this winter, the Delegate introduced a joint resolution au- thorizing this examination. Such joint resolutions are later combined in a general River and Harbor Bill. There was no such bill considered at this present short session of Con- gress. Nothing can be done, there fore, until next fall.

 House Joint Memorial No. 3 In the Legislature of the Territory
 of Alaska. Sixth Session. To the Secretary of the Interior ::
 Your memorialists, the Senate and House of Representatives of the Legislature of Alaska, respectfully present:
 That at present the Bureau of Education has no training school for native Indian children located in Alaska. The need of such an in- stitution seems urgent. The num- Der of native children who can be accommodated at Chemawa. Oregon. is very limited and the expense of sending them thers would seem un- necessary Moreover. training in their home surroundings, where they are born and brought up and where they expect to spend their lives, is obviously of greater advan- tage than a training under condi- tions foreign to the place where they expect to make themselves use full.
 The neighborhood of the City Of Wrangell. Alaska, seems to your me- morialists to present the greatest ad vantages for the establishment and maintenance of such an institution as is here referred to. It is in the midst of mining, fishing, and of the lumber industry, and affords most excellent opportunities for training in agriculture; is one. of the recog- nized centers and ancient headquar- trs of the native Indian population of Southeastern Alaska, and is locat ed on the we'll frequented steamship routes, and, as such, easily access ible.
 Wherefore, your memorialists re- spectfully recommend, that a native Indian training school for Indian children be established and main tained by the Bureau of Education in the neighborhood of Wrangell, Alaska.
 And your memorialists will ever pray.

Regarding the Proposed New
 Playground

The seventh and eighth grades as we'll as the high school pupils will participate in the contest inaugura- ted by the playground committee of the Pr. A. recently. in connection with the proposed acquisition of blocks 54 and 55 for school play ground. according to the report giv- en by Miss Quasi and Miss Wheeler at the Pr. A. meeting held last Thursday. The subject for the es- says is Will The Proposed New Playground Benefit the School and How Can It Be Improved?" Four prizes will be awarded by the Pr. A. and they will be distinctly worth while competing for. A first and a second prize will be given to grade pupils and first and a sec ond in the high school.
 Instead of judging these essays at the regular meeting the second Thursday in April, 1t has been de- cided to hold a second meeting Thursday, April 26, for this pur- pose. A special effort will be made to get large attendance as the ac- quisition of additional school ground is an undertaking that is worthy the consideration of all citizens.
 The need of such a playground has been demonstrated repeatedly. Wrangell has pointed with pride to the school playshed for a number of years, and with good reason, for there is no more popular spot in the community, but the grounds around the shed are not nearly large enough for the sports that form such an i'm portant part of school life for the growing boy. If ball cannot be thrown without the risk of breaking window, if the school overflows 1 the grounds and has to use the l streets and adjoining property in order to give the pupils an opportu- nifty for outdoor exercise, the school playground is not large enough. It is to remedy this situation, if possible, that an attempt will be made to secure a playground for Wrangell that shall be adequate for all time. Many communities awake to the need of such grounds when it is too late to secure them except at prohibitive price, but a large num- Der of Wrangell people realize that the present time is a good time to start the movement. The city council
 has promised its cooperation in the matter and it will be decidedly in- 1 teresting to learn what the younger generation thinks of the tract that has been selected, whether the argu- ments and suggestions offered in the
 essays are for or against the propo- sition.
