.Michaelson Strikes Pay
 On Blue Culch Claims

Writing to Mir. Charles Tecklen- berg, of this city, Robert Michael son, pioneer operator in the Moose Pass district, declares that he has struck bedrock and pay in the Blue Gulch claims, the. pay being found in an old channel being prospected by MT. Michaelson Gold is found in every pan, and indications are that the paystreak will be very rich when the old channel is fully entered. The channel is from 50 to 60 feet in width, 30 feet to bedrock. The shaft sunk by Mr. Michaelson taps the channel at the extreme edge, and is about 300 feet above the present channel of Mills creek. The pay streak is about one mile long, so far as known. MT. Michaelson is operat- ing q hydraulic proposition with No. giant about 50 feet above the pres ent creek bed,. and this ground is al- so very rich.
 u is gratifying to the friends of the aged pioneer to know :ha7 af- ter twe,.ty years with pick and .hov- el he is at last in the pay, and that it exceeds his expectations.

J. W. WALKER STANDS PAT
 ON GAME WARDEN QUESTION

J. w. Walker, in charge of the bi- ologicial survey, with headquarters at Juneau, recently removed a num- Der of game wardens, including the one at Seward, on plea of econo- my. Replying to protest from the Seward Chamber of Commerce, MT. Walker states that the funds were low and he believed it more import ant to retain warden at Anchorage than at Seward, on account of the big game fields being in the vicinity of Anchorage, etc. Anchorage is 100 miles farther from the Kenai lake moose herds than is Seward, and ev- cry big game hunter coming to wis it these fields are inconvenienced greatly by the lack of a warden here Hunters clearing for westward points are also held up. But so long as this view of the matter is taken by game officials, we must let the tail go with the hide. The only game we ever heard of near Anchorage was pangynga and croquet, with a few rabbits, Anchorage hunters coming to Kenai and down this way for their moose. We are not against Anchor age having game warden, but be- lieve this big game center should not be overlooked.

RED CROSS ACTIVE

Miss Yeteve Taake, representing the Pacific Division of the Red Cross left on Sundays train for Anchor age
 Miss Taake came to Seward to con- fer with the Chapter concerning the advisability df continuing the Delano nursing service for another year. There are many drawbacks to public health nursing in the local chapter, which includes Latouche, Seward and all Alaska peninsula as well as the Pribiloff Islands and Bristol Bay points. It is obvious that such ter ritory is too large for one nurse to cover. When it is remembered that there are practically no doctors, den tists or hospitals in the 1500 miles between Seward and Nushagak the difficulties are easily understood.
 At the meeting on Friday, nine members were present. The whole situation was discussed at length and it was decided that the work should go on, if possible. Those present felt that the Red Cross, in this pioneer work was making a beginning that might result in an efficient health service. With this thought in mind, a formal request for a continuance of the service was made. The chap ter is now waiting to hear from the Delano committee.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
 AND COLONEL STEESE
 DISCUSS LOWELL CREEK

Col James c. Steese, of the Alaska charge of road work, met with the city council Saturday night to con fer over the Lowell creek situation. Col .Steese told the council that pre- vious to his leaving Washington a short time ago, Secretary Work had been in favor of the bill introduced by Delegate Sutherland, but since his return to Alaska he had received a letter from the Secretary asking for a survey and report on condi- tions, and what the city was pre- pared to pay in the way of costs. The project, according to Col. Steese was of no interest to the Navy depart ment, and congress would expend no money for making harbor for small craft. If congress deemed that a shelter for small boats is necessary a survey would have to be made for same. The proposed wooden Hume recommended by the special commit tee appointed by the city would cost about $80,000 and as it was solely for the protection of the city which would be required to pay back a certain sum each year, the project had been abandoned. If the material from the creek was used as a break water for small boats, Col. Steese de- clared the matter would have to be taken up with the Rivers and Har- bors committee, and as this might cause serious delay in securing an appropriation it might have to be held up. MT. Steese stated that the Secretary of the Interior had refused to recommend the improvement until a further survey is made.
 Mayor Ray stated that while the harbor is needed if it would cause such delay in the improvement of Lowell Creek it would be omitted from the report. In case the meas ure came up the government would ask who were the benefciaries and if the town was the sole gainer the re- quest would not be considered.
 Col. Steese said he had asked the railroad how much damage had been done and in case damage threatened if they would furnish cranes and equipment necessary to protect pro- perty free of charge if directed by congress. When he received the coun- cil's reply he would submit his report and recommendations
 The meeting threshed out the question pretty thoroughly and until Col. Steese makes his report nothing can be done in the matter.

LIGHTS BE DISCONTINUED
 UNLESS METERS INSTALLED

Under the provisions of Ordinance No. 78, of the Town of Seward, no electric current can be sold except thru meters after September first. This means that unless you have or dered your meter installed that your lights will be shut off September 1, as t.1n light company IS penalized un- der said ordinance if it furnishes light ol power except thru meters. The company is busy installing met CTS, but is swamped with work and has yet about 160 to install.
 Electrician J. w. Burns also de- clares that he can take no more o. ders for work until he catches up. This leaves those dila:ory about com plying with the ordinance betN cen the devil and the deep sea. Only an extension of time by the council or an influx of electricians can save many homes from going dark. In case you have not placed your order for meter it beho)vrs you to do so.

 PROPOSAL OF SOCIALISTS

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Acceptance of the socialists offer in California to withdraw their presidential cleo tors from their column to make room for independent electors supporting Senator LaFCl'ette will depend on success or failure of the LaFollette forces to obtain a column of their own, John M Nelson, national mana ger for LaFollette, said today.
 He said that even though Spreckles of San Francisco and other LaFoll- ette independents ran as electors un- der the socialists" they would not be committed to alliance with the rest of the socialist ticket.

Pioneer Teacher LeQues for Akutan 10 Spend
 Lonely Winter

Miss Katherine c. Kane, pioneer Alaskan teacher at "Kokrines, left on the steamship Starr to teach at the Native school at Akutan. Miss Kane has been teaching in Alaska since 1911, and most of the time has been stationed on,- the Yukon river. Part of the time she was the only white person at Kokrines. Miss Kane re- ports that she had considerable trou- ble at Kokrines with the native sha- man or medicine men. With three years course in medicine she pre- scribed for the natives, but her eff forts were nullified by the shaman, who made the family of the patient practice the old rites of shamanism.
 One case of recent date was that of young girl badly burned on the chest, stomach and thighs. She was administered to by Miss Kane and was convalescing nicely. One morn ing she received a message that the girl was dying. Hurrying to tho home she found the shaman present who informed her that the girl could not take her medicine. Then pushing her way into the hut she found canopy erected over the bed, and the girls father and mother wedged tightly on each side of the girl, the three being bound up close with heavy blankets. The shaman and parents were missing, splitting and caterwauling to exercise the spir- it's. The little patient was uncon- scious and cold. Hastily throwing aside the canopy Miss Kane attempt ed to undo the blankets when she was seized by the medicine man, a husky buck, who attempted to eject her from the hut. She stated she hit him square between the eyes with her fist and told him he could not practice witchcraft near her school. Only by threatening to have the marshal sent for 50 miles away, did she succeed in securing the release of the little girl.
 The skin on the patients body had been stripped off in great rolls where the shaman had rubbed and rolled her, the pain apparently being more than the child could stand. Ad- ministering opiates and dressing the burns, the child was placed in bed, and at the time Miss Kane left had practically recovered.
 Shamanism according to Miss Kane, as practiced by many Yukon tribes, stands in the way of advance ment of the children, as they quickly revert to tribal customs as soon as they return home from the schools.
 Miss Kane will teach at Akutan this winter and will practically be isolated. The mail boat Starr will not call again at this port until the latter part of January, and she will be the only white person in the vil- lage The whaling station, a few miles away, will have storekeeper and watchman.

NO APPOINTMENTS MADE

Territorial Committeeman George Sexton announces that he has made no appointments of divisional com mitteemen as yet, and will not until he is certain the men named by him are rock-ribbed Stalwarts with no taint of LaFollette in their brain. Unless the tangle is strengthened out in the near future many of the old line Republicans in this section have announced their intention of voting for democratic candidates this fall, rather than support men who are slightly off color in politics.

MANY ORPHAN CHILDREN
 AT HAYNES HOUSE HOME

The Children's Home, known as Haines House, under the direction of Miss Emma Jackson, is one of the most interesting institutions in all of Alaska. At present there are 31 children in the home. Nine oth- CTS have passed through the Home and have been sent to Sitka to at- tend the Sheldon Jackson Industrial School. The six workers at Haines House are kept busy from early morning to late at night caring for these healthy, noisy, romping chill dren. Special attention is given to their mental and spiritual training. Mending the ehildren's clothes is in itself a great undertaking. Visit the sewing room some day and get an inspiration to tackle a big job and stay with 1t.
 During the past three months the Home has been in the process of re- modelling to accomodate the chil dren that need to be cared for. Three thousand dollars have been spent for material and labor on the building and about four thousand dollars to install new laundry ma chinery in the basement. Haines House is supported by Westminster Guilds, a young ladies society or. ganized in many of the Presbyteri. an churches. Gifts of money and clothing are often received and are very acceptable. The Alaska Native Brotherhood. at it's recent conven- tion at Hoonah, gave the Home $70 as a token of their gratitude for the work it is doing. When anyone takes little children who are desti- ute and gives them a comfortable home and a chance to make good in life, the rest of us should give all the encouragement and help all we can. And that is just what Haiens House is doing.-Chilkoot Post.

HAYNES JUSTLY PROUD OF
 EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES

On October 6, 1924, the new school building at Haines was occu- pied for the first time While the building was not then completed one room was made ready for tho high school. Four weeks later the grades moved from their old quar- ters into the new building. After trial of few weeks the results are most satisfactory. The new build ing is mainly of concrete, is modern and is especially adapted to thi: community. There are four school rooms, each opening into a central corridor, and occupied by the pri- mary, intermediate and upper grades, and the high school. Each room has plenty of excellent black board space, and the clear. light walls and ceilings give a pleasant atmosphere. Extra desks and seat. were borrowed from the Chilka Valley school and especial attention was given to having the desk and seat of the proper size for each pu- pill. A large part of the basement is to be an indoor playroom. The need for such a room has been al- ways felt on rainy days. The sec ond floor consists of one large room which will be used for meetings A, feature of the building is the i'm. proved heating and ventilating sys- tenn. Fresh air is conducted from outdoors to the two furnaces. AS it is heated it rises through pipes to openings some six or seven feet from the floor of each room. The foul air passes out by means of ventilators the openings of which are just above the level of the floor. This system
 
 provides for an even distribution of heat and a constant supply of fresh air.
 Four teachers now comprise the Haines teaching staff The addition of an extra teacher this year is a dis tinct improvement, for not only can each teaher concentrate on a small CT number of classes, but each pupil receives more individual attention. Education is one of the most valu- able assets any one can possess. More emphasis Is each year being placed on it's needs. Haines may be proud of her accomplishments this year in this line.-Chilkoot Post.
