PORTAGE WORK
IN ALASKA IS
NOT APPROVED
Army Engineers Turn Down
Project Between Yukon
and Kuskokwim.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - The
War Departments report to Con.
gress disapproved of the improve.
ment of the Portage between the
Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. Mai
Gen. Taylor, Chief of the Army En-
glneers, said the Army Engineers
disagreed with the District Engi.
neer who recommended the channel
26 feet wide and six feet deem
through the natural waterways, each
one mile long, to be built by the
Federal Government with two tram
portages provided by the Territory
and its Road Commissioners. He
expressed doubt il the Improvement
would enable earlier summer BEGIN
ming of gold mining on the upper
kuskokwim and is of the opinion
that the benefits are too doubtful
and too limited to justify Federal
assistance even on cooperative
basis which the District Engineer
proposed" The District Engineer
pointed out that the limited num-
Der of steamers from Seattle calling
at the lower Kuskokwim was an.
parently because Of the inactivity
of that region. Taylor said the Dis
trict Engineer had declared the Port
age route dispute would not improve
the condition of the main route
for mail and passengers in the sum.

NAVY BRANCH
OF AVIATION
REQUIRES men
Chief of Bureau of Naviga-
ton Urges New Allot-
ment of Appointees.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 49,
The demands of naval aviation alone
require an increase in the number of
appOintees to the Naval Academy
Rear Admiral w. r. Shoemaker
chief of he Bureau of Navigation
said today in his annual report to
Secretary Wilbur.
Admiral Shoemaker urged that the
present allotment of three appoint
ees to each representative and sen.
ator be increased to at least four,
which he estimated would make
available between 700 and $50 Off
GERS for naval aviation, while the
listed men as pilots would bring
the total estimated by the Bureau
of Aeronautics to be necessary for
carrying out its program.
Admiral Shoemaker does not be-
lieve in naval aviators remaining
the service but holds they should be
assigned to other duties from time
to time, as "the aviation problem
technically as to the knowledge re-
quired is no more specialized than
the operation of any other type and
is even less than the requirement
in some of the technical branches
of the line in which specialization
is not necessary now"
The recommendation of last year
that the enlisted strength of the
navy be increased to $4,000 was re-
iterated in the report and it is
pointed out that under last years
appropriation the present authorized
strength of $4,000 had to be reduced
to $4,000 because of insufficient
funds.
The past year saw general-im-
provement in the character and ex.
perience of navy personnel, the re-
port said, with the number Of Off
GERS gradually increasing.

more equiline than Quilp's, and the
dropping corners of the mouth, gave
him an air either of melancholy, or

BY birth he belonged to the Sioux

having been renowned for bravery,

expect our generals to lead every
battle; in fact they are frequently
safely bestowed in some place where
they can keep in touch with the move

them. Nor is this considered an in
dicatiOn of cOwardice on heir part.
In similar way Sitting Bull direct
ed his warriors.
In his youth he was friendly with
the whites, and knew several of the
principal trappers and fur traders.
He had been, in after years taken to
Washington, D. c., where he dined
with President Grant. His Observa-

the white man were not best for his
people. Yet, what would be their
fate if the whites further encrOach-

strOying the game on which their
very lives depended?
The Unkpapas, Sitting Bulls band
were not the first to rise against the
whites. The Ogallalas, Brules and
Minnesota Sioux, all had trouble
with them before Sitting Bulls
people. When the Sioux outbreak il
