idea of the Indian who rode clothed

The Indian Bureau of Department
of the Interior has put four demon
stration agents in the field to visit the
different reservations and teach the
older lildiSn women home economics.
The squaws are responding readily to
the program.
House Duties Given Study.
For some time girls in Indian schools
have been studying cooking, dressmak-
ing, interior decoration, care of babies
and kindred subjects, but the attempt
to interest the older women is new
experiment. Health and good house
keeping are now applied to the whole
reservation through agents sent out by
the Government Among the subjects
taught in the tepeeS by these visitors
are home nursing and home sanitation,
canning fruits, care of babies, making
of hats and dresses.
There has been a great change in
the care of the Indian baby, during the
last few years. Present-day instruction
has taught the Indian girl to clothe
her baby in an attractive and hygienic
manner. She also has been taught
what foods to use in order to make it
strong and healthy.

Alaska Notes Gathered From Territorial
 Exchanges.

Matt II. DeCourcy, oldtimer of Alaska and Yukon Territory, died suddenly in his room at the Nordale Hotel. Fairbanks, a few days ago, from a heart attack. His body was found several hours later, and the po- 'sition in which it was lying indicated that the fatal attack had cme without warnisg and that death had been al- most immediate.
 Death had come to him just after he had prepared to go to bed. He had removed most of his clothes and turned toward the door with the key in his hand. apparently with the in- tention of locking the door, when he was stricken.
 He is survived by his widow, who Hives in Seattle. During his residence in the North he had lived at Dawson, llditarod and Anchoagre, as we'll as Fairbanks. He was in Yukon Territory about 1912, and from there he went to the States. In 1917 or 1918 he 1traveled to the Iditarod to develop a tcinnabar mine.

 Citizens of the Kodiak group told the Secretary that big brown bears were a constant menace to human life and also destructive to livestock and agriculture. Jardine said there was an opeE season on bears from Sep tember 1 to June 20 and the present regulations allow them to be killed wherever they are threatening live stock or human beings or whenever they are discovered, within half mile of a human habitation.
 He said he thought it best to allow the present modifioations to stand, al- though there might be a possibility of modification later.
 James F. Hurley, the oldest resi- dent of the Pioneer Home, died at that institution a few weeks ago. He was born in New York in 1882, making him 97 years of age. He was one of the very early pioneers of the Terri tory and was one of the first stam- peders to ascend the Stickine river route into the interior of the Yukon country. He came to Alaska 52 years ago and had resided within the Terri tory ever since.

Capper. "ThiS is a very serious

Another Instance
There was another incident
along these lines not so long
ago. At that time a large au-
dience gathered at a benefit for
a trio Of alleged gamblers who
were committed to Jail, but who
refused to 'squea4' on others who
were working with them. The
gathering Of these two large audi
ences in seeming protest against
enforcement machinery indicates
that at least part of the people
are not in sympathy with the
manner in which affairs are being
conducted"
Senator Capper indicated that
the matter of appointments to
the District commissionerShipS
had already received White House
consideration. He intimated that
several months ago the Presi-
dent had discussed the matter
with a view to being prepared
to appoint recognized executives
and men of outstanding ability
to the vacancies.
One Type Cited
It was further intimated that
consideration is being given to
the possibility of amending the
