REV. J.F. CHAPMAN PIONEER IF ANV|K
 VISITS IN SEWARD
IN SERVICE IS MISSIONARY ON LOWER YUKON, FOR THIRTY
 THREE YEARS

Rev. John w. Chapman, his wife and daughter, accompanied by Miss B. Lucas, arrived on the steamship Alaska, and spent the Sabbath in Seward, leaving on today's train on his long journey to Anvik, an Episco- pal mission on the Yukon river, some 45 miles above Holy Cross. Rev. Chapman has been stationed at Anvik since 1887, or about 36 years.
 Rev Chapman is taking in a new sawmill with him to replace the one in use the past quarter of a century a caterpillar tractor, to be used in hauling logs from the timber to the sawmill, and a complete highpower, continuous wave, receiving and trans mitting radio set, the latter a donation from admirers of his great work on the Yukon.
 Anvik, a community of about 15O Indians and whites, was the first Episcopal mission to be established in Alaska, and owing to it entering the field before contact with the whites

destroyed the Indians individuality and morals, 1t has been one of the most successful. A boarding and day school are maintained At present with twenty scholars. The buildings are the usual mission equipment of schurch, dwelling houses, boarding schools for girls and boys, hospital, sawmill and carpenter and black smith shops. Capt. John B. Bentley, an officer In the field artillery, over seas, is assisting Rev. Chapman, as artiflcer, and Mrs. Bentley Is with him. Capt. Bentley has charge of the sawmill and is capable and re sourceful man. The assists are Miss Marguerite Bartberger, house mother for the girls, of Calvary church, Pitts burgh; Miss Susan E. Smith of North Carolina, teachar; Miss B. Lucas, and Rev. J. w. Chapman and family.
 Rev. Chapman states that the na- tives under his charge are a clean, Christian-like race, who do not know the taste of liquor, and who have in the past thirty-six years radically changed their manner of living In the old days they lived by hunting and fishing, and dwelt in unsanitary huts and holes In the ground; whereas now they have comfortable, we'll furnished log cabins, and sanitary surroundings. Most of them are provided with good ranges, heaters and gasoline and ker- osene lamps and sewing machine, the women being very adept at sewing The men have abandoned their ca noes and now use gas boats, at which they are very expert in handling.
 The Indians are very helpful about the mission, being employed in log ging, helping In the sawmill, and to erect buildings and boats.
