"Witchcraft'' At

Stroller's Weekly recently pub lished narticle setting forth that the people of Hoonah are believers of that belief of the heather, uncivilized races. From the Seattle Daily Times under Associated Press we find this story:
 ,roman Found Guilty of Staying
 witch"
 Jury Returns Murder Verdict in
 Killing Of Aged Inmate of
 Old Ladies' Home
 Kalamazoo, Mich, A jury of eleven men and one woman early today found Mrs. Pearl Burgess, B years old, guilty of the mur- der of Mrs. Etta Fairchild, 76, inmate of an old ladies home, whom, Mrs. Burgess and her husband, Eugene, had admitted beating to death with a lead pipe because she was a witch and had killed a hundred people just by wishing them dead"
 Mrs. Burgess sanity was the point on which the jurors were reported to have found difficulty in reaching agreement. The yer dict carries with it a life sen tence.
 Mrs. Burgess and her husband were arrested after Mrs. Fair child's body was found in a cis- tern behind the Burgess home on the night of July 18, the same night on which she was killed.
 She did not deny the staying. Their daughter Eugenia, 117, was singled out by Mrs Fairchild they said, and they were forced to kill the woman to save the girl.
 Mrs. Burgess later retracted her confession. Several weeks ago her husband hanged himself in his cell in the county jail here leaving his wife to stand trial alone.

Protest Imported
 Labor

Whereas, The Native Indian Fishermen are obliged to get their supplies from the company by which they are employed, on- ly a few being able to pay back their debt in full at the end of each season, and
 Whereas, These companies inn port cheap Oriental labor, es- T,ecially the F'ilipinos, who are hired under contract, their pro- visions brought from the States, therefore
 Be It Resolved by the Grand Camp of the Alaska Native Bro herhood, assembled at Haines, Alaska, November 1929, that these Cannery Associations be asked to employ all available To- cal labor before importing Ori- entals.
 Be It Further Resolved That 8 copy of this resolution be sent 10 the Pacific Cannerymen's As sociation, and to the Chambers of Commerce of the principal towns of Alaska with the request that they lend their support.
 Adopted his 23rd day of Mo- vember, 1929, by the Grand Con- vention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, at Haines, Alaska.

 Aside from being non-reflll- able, the box will be equipped with small secret rapper which will give three magic raps on the cover, then the lid will fly open The box will be available in all colors with Copenhagen blue predominant.
