INDIAN CHIEF TAKES LAW
 IN HIS OWN HANDS

Every once in while a case of 'witchcraft" obtrudes from the in ner life of natives along the coast, marking back to tribal days before white mans civilization became known, but it remains for an interi- or Indian to hand out punishment by taking the law into his own hands, according to the following from the Anchorage Alaskan:
 How an Indian chief near Cant well took the law into his own hands and administered punishment to one of his tribe who had strayed from the paths of rectitude and honor, is portrayed in a story just brought to Anchorage by a recent arrival from the interior.
 The Indian chief upon returning to his home after a long hunt, dis covered his wife had been unfaithful to him and leaving the home fires burning, had vamoosed with a young buck. With grim determina- tion the chief set out upon the trail of the erring couple and finally .af- ter weeks of searching located them in valley far from regular beaten trails. He forced the couple to re- turn to Cantwell where he purchas- ed large supply of provisions Loading the food supplies, his wife and equipment upon a sled he har- messed up the young buck and con- pelled him to pull the sled for sixty miles over an unbroken trail: Ar irving at his destination the chief released the culprit and told him tc lklatawa.
 The buck finally reached the vii. llage again in a starving condition It is said the chief and his spouse are living happily again in valley rich in marten, fox and wolverine

CORD0VA PIT. A. BACKING
 NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

The Cordoya Parent-Teacher Association is working for new school house. The Cordova P.-T. A. press representative has the follow ing paragraph in the Northern Light
 By presenting resolution to the town council asking for new school building we have awakened the public interest to the necessity of providing a decent and adequate building for our children. It is now our duty to keep the subject alive and before the community. We wish that we had a Captain Dancey to as- sist us nthis work, though none of us would care to experience the un- pleasant sensation he had, of being almost blown out of the Tower Room to make us talk feelingly and earnestly upon the subject of a safe and wind-proof building"

 AS at the visit to the Clty Council last week, the womens commiItee Was interested cnleIly in ascertain whether or not any acton had been taken or contemplated in regard to the movement for new building, anu to express thelr Willingness to nelp Tn any plan that might be Iound teaslbie. As no funds are avallabIe at the present time for ouch a project, bond issue was discussed. No action was taken by the Club at this time except to au tnorize the appointment of the spe clal committee.
 The Womens Council committee IS extremely gratified at the senti- ment shown so far in regard to a new building. While nothing defi- nite has been accomplished, the leading men of the community are giving the need of such a building in the very near future much seri- ous thought, and are willing to dis cuss the matter from every point of view. The fact that as early as next year. some of the rooms in the grade school will not be large eral extensive alterations will be necessary in the interest of sanita- tion in both buildings, is deserving of consideration, according to the women. Costly repairs are made on the old buildings each year and yet they are inadequate for even pres ent needs. The Womens Council Is convinced that Wrangell should have as good a school building as can be built and when ways and means have been devised. they will give the project their loyal support

ketchikan Votes $15O,OOO Bond
 Issue for School
By vote of Almost 4 to l the Tax payers of Ketchikan Express Themselves in Favor of Bond Issue for New School House

kETCHIKAN, Jan. 9.-The spe- cial election yesterday on the Ques- tion of asking congress to authorize the issuance of s150,000 worth of bonds on the City of Ketchikan for the erection of a new schoolhouse carried by vote of almost four to one in favor of the bonds. It is ex- pected the new school building will be under way during the early sum- mer.
 An interesting thing in connec- tion with the bond issue is the de- cision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco in the Petersburg case. In that case the court held that while the muni- cipGlities of Alaska are prohibited from making a tax levy of more than two per cent on the assessment of property, the city may make an additional tax levy to meet any bond issue. This means that if nec- essary to pay off the bonds the city council, might at it's discretion, inn pose an additional tax. This will aid in the matter of disposing of the bonds.

LEAP YEAR DANCE PROMISES
 TO BE SPLENDID SUCCESS

Various committees of the Civic Club will soon be busy planning for the big library benefit which will be given Thursday, February IA. AS has already been stated, it will be a leap year dance but other features have been added and it is safe to say that the affair will be decidedly different. The Club requests those who come to the dance to represent the title of some well-known book. This will form the basis of a guess ing contest with a prize for the per- son who can guess the most titles.
 The policy of the club has always been to ask a general admission of 50 cents, and the same plan will be followed for the leap year dance. The ladies are expectel to foot the bills, however, but if gentleman is unaccompanied, he pays for him. self Every dance will be a ladies' choice, and the gentlemen will be seated by their partners and fined if they cross the hall without a lady escort. Further, to make the evening just the reverse of the usual dances, it is reported that a commit tee of men will have charge of the refreshments. There are many men in the community who are both in terested in the library and good at serving dance suppers, and the ladies are confident that they will help make the St. Valentines Day dance a success from every point of view.

CANADA'S PULP OUTPUT
 SHOWS STEADY GROWTH

OTTAWA, Ont.-Newspript pro- duction in Canada amounted to 944,S20 tons in the nine months ended Oct. l, according to report issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. This was an increase of 145,447 tons or IS per cent com pared with the same period last year.
 The Dominion, the report points out, is rapidly reducing the lead of the United States in newsprint pro duction. The output of the United States was only 1S4,397 tons more than Canada in the first nine months of 1923, as against 27O.246 tons greater output for the same period of 1922. In September Can ada produced 102,4S6 tons while the United States mills produced |11O.20s tons.
 At the present rate of increase in another year, it is believed. Canada will be ahead of the United States in newsprint output. The supply |of pulp wood is diminishing in the eastern states, while Caanda posses |ses almost unlimited resuorces |of pulp wood and water-power to exploit it.
 Exports of newsprint in the first nine months of 1923, the report sets forth, amounted to S29,222 tons valued at s63.277.s66 or practically 90 per cent of the total production. The United States was the chief buyer, taking S21.7Ss tons or. 97 per cent of the total export. The re- maining 17,434 tons were shipped mainly to New Zealand, Australia
 and South Africa.

CANTWELL HUNTER
 HAS CLOSE CALL

Hanging for life on glacier. high in the mountains near Cant we'll; half frozen With the icy winds sweeping over him and exhausted by his efforts to eXtricate himself from his perilous position and with a 200-foot precipice yawning below him, Earle Hammond was finally rescued by the herculean efforts of his hunting pal. William Hevener. according to reports brought to An chorage last week by arrivals from Cantwell, reports recent issue of the Anchorage Weekly Alaskan.
 Both young men, employed at Cantwell, were out on caribou hunt, when Hammond espied sheep high nthe snow on the side of a mountain. Hammodn decided to go after the sheep while Havener continued on for six miles. In the afternoon Havener was making his way down the back trail loaded with a heavy pack of caribou when he heard faintly in the distance and apparently from a high altitude, distress shouts. Throwing down his pack he hurriedly made up the moutnain. eventually coming to a tremendous chasm where, looking across, he saw man clinging for life on an ice ledge within fifteen feet of precipice at least 200 feet deep. Rescue was impossible, Hav- ener at first thought, but finally by almost superhuman efforts he managed to gain a vantage point then recognized as being his part ner, Hammond. Shouting encour agement. Havener. using his new near the man on the ledge. whom he rifle as a spade and axe, chopping steps nthe ice, slowly worked his way down to his partner and Ham, mond was finally assisted back to a safe position, thence off the glacier to a nearby woods, where Havener made camp and buolt large fire to thaw Hammond out. Hammond then related how he had slipped down the glacier to the ledge; of how he had lain there for four hours in one spot, afraid to move a fraction of an inch for fear that the ice would give way and hurl him to death in the fathonless depths be- low.
 Late in the evening as the young hunters were sitting around the blazing fire talking over their ex- perience, Hammond drew from his pocket scrap of paper. Silently he tore it to small pieces and tossed them into the glowing fire. Turn ing to his companion Hammond said, That's what I wrote while ly- ing on the glacier after despairing of help reaching me intime. Before and after writing the note I prayed to God as I never prayed before"
 Hammond is now recuperating from his nerve racking experience at reindeer station near Cantwell

GALLAUDET TOSSERS
ON FLOOR THIS WEEK

Gallaudet's basket ball squad OF
about .25 players, will start practice
on the Kendall Green floor this week,
with Coach Teddy Hughes again at
the helm. Some of the Kendall Green
tossers have been working out in the
gymnasium for several days, but have
been waiting for the foot ball players
to join the squad. A number of Cal
laudet's gridders are capable perform
ers on the floor court, but have been
taking rest before starting the cage
game.
Some of the new men at Gallaudet
will get a chance to break into the
lineup this year, as Hughes has to
find players to fill the shoes of Davis
and Boatwright, stars of last years
varsity quint. Robert Bradley viii
captain the team this year. and will
fill his usual position at guard
Besides Bradley, Hughes has Rid
die and Wallace, from last years
combination. Among the recruits
Holdren and Byouk appear to have a
chance to get into Gallaudet's lineup.
The Kendall Greeners enjoyed
more success on the court last year
than in some time, when they won
seven and lost two games, and they
hope to turn out an even better ma
chine this year.
