struction is a shame and should be strictly prohibited by law. Let the killing of deer for any other purpose than for food be made penal offense and a limit Of time fixed, and the slaughter for the hides could soon be stopped.
 The bodies of Prof. saxman. Louie Paul and the native boy. who were drowned at Cape Fox. have never been found Mrs. A. R. Mcfarland. Of the HYdah Mission has applied to the Board 10 have TiIlie Paul com missioned as her assistant in the Girls Home and Mir Young has warmly urged the same thing. This will give the young widow q means l Of supporting herself and three lit= tie ones, and will be much better l than to put her in charge of a school. | Received for one of our little boys. l material for a new suit We are l thankful for this, and would much rather the boys were remembered in l this way fhan not at all. But We have | 10 tailOrs here. and not even a pat tern do not know how we are go= | ing To get this suit made up. We have. all told. only eleven girls large enough 10 do the necessary work for nearly forty children. one of these Is blind. one in the printing office. two entirely laid aside with con sumption. another very delicate, leaving only six girls to do all the laundry work, making and mendtng. besides being taught Tn household duties. and going to school. Susie Young now has charge Of the sewing room. and has to have the girls out of school every afternoon, for. until the ironing is all done. she cannot have more than two girls at a time. and it is a hard task to keep all the knees and elbows covered. without any manufacturing. We have twice before mentioned making pants. The girls ripped up some coats too large for our present family, an In dian woman cut them out. and the girls pieeed and finished them up but l think tailor would have split his sides over them.
 On the night of March 4tb Deputy Marshal Thomas and Deputy Collee- Tor Wilson learned of the presence in Wrangel of r. l.. Bangs. who was known to be engaged in smuggling liquor into the territory from Brit l 1911 Abl AIli bAeA EA udAA III ecu uO4 " AAD accompanied him was found and made to reveal the hiding place of Bangs sloop-a little bay three miles south of Nrangel. The off cers quickly put off in small boat, and seized the slo0p. Bangs, seeing the boat start for the sloOp. attempt ed to escape. but was captured on the beach and brought back, with the sloop, to Wrangel, where he was lodged in jail,
 The seized cargo consisted of 12 eases of whiskey and gin, 3 kegs (10 gals. eaeh) of brandy, and kegs of Whiskey The cost value of the li- quor at Fort Simpson was about S500. There were besides some arti- cles of general merchandise, which will of course be forfeited to the Government with the slOop.
 In Mr. Bangs's short career in Al aska the proverb, "The way of the transgressor is hard" has been strik- ingly illustrated. He came here last spring with his father, having some $3.O00 in goods and cash, and com menced to trade with the natives. But discovering about two thousand dollars worth of goods. belonging to a Klawack chief cached" in a little house in tile woods, he, with another man, robbed the cache, and conveyed most of the booty to Juneau. But the theft was discovered, and the thieves placed in the Sitka jail until the October term of court at Juneau, when they were tried. But although the case was a very plain one the jury disagreed. and the accused were allowed to go free after restoring all the stolen property, and paying $100 besides to the chief for his time and trouble This crime, which Bangs now openly acknowledges. cost him three months in jail and 5000.
 To build up again his diminished fortune, Bangs began to make trips to the southern part of the arehipel- ago. ostensibly to trade with the na- tiYes, but principally to smuggle li- uuor from Fort Simpson into Alaska Late in the fall he took a cargo of whiskey to Juneau, narrowly escap- ing capture by our Yigilant officers at Wrangel, cached the liquor near the town, and left it ill charge of q young man to sell at Juneau. But the young man stole 1t, sold it and got away with the money. Nothing discouraged Bangs gathered togeth- CT all the funds he could command, and again sailed for Fort Simpson, where he invested all in the present cargo. with the final result above noted Now he has lost all his money, his boat and its cargo, and has the certain prospect before him of term in prison. It is unnecessary to point the moral.
