 Fort Wrangell was the home of the Stickeen Indians, formerly one of the richest and most warlike tribes in the Alaskan Territory. They occupied the shores of Etolin harbor. and the different families with their sub-chiefs, built their houses in groups around the circular shore, keeping, if possible at musket range distance from each other. Thus the Tow-a-att family built their houses nearest to the trading post and Fort then the Kadashan Fam fly; beyond that Shakes. on little island peninsula; farther on, in the curve of the bay, the Frog Family, whose chief man was Jake Johnson; then old Kasch, with his retainers; and on the sharp penin- sula which curved in and formed the harbor, was the old chief, Shustaak.
 But with the advent of the white soldiers, miners and traders, the Indians from all the tribes of the Archipelago came pouring into Fort Wrangell. They .were not all lowed by the Stickeens to build even their bark shacks within the har- bor, but camped in what we called the Foreign Town. up the beach toward the point of the island.
 For the most part the officers of the Fort knew nothing of what was going on in either camp. The Fort lay directly between the Stick cen town and the foreigners, and the onIy way from one to the other when tide was up was through the gates of the Fort Murders, rob berries, torturing of witches and even the sacrifice of slaves might go on-and did-without the officers knowing or inquiring about these occurrences" wrote Dr. Young.
 Dr. Young and his bride, the Miss Kellogg of Sitka, worked against tremendous odds the first year in their attempts to Christian ize the Indians. That Christianiza- tion of some members of the white race here was considered im-

WATCH THE CUBS SLUG

Eastern critics have not as yet had chance to size up the Chi cago Cubs, or compare their pros poets except on paper with this of Brooklyn St. Louis, New York and ether entries in the National league pennant derby.
 They feel, however, that if Man ager Rogers Hornsby stages come back and is able to play regu- larly at his old keystone post, the Cubs will be the team to beat.
 Put another .370 batter into that Chicago lineup and it may be all over but the hollering at Wrig- ley Field" remarked one manager. Not even this gang of Brooklyn sluggers will be able to take punch for punch with the Cubs, if Horns by is back in form

 This seemed a little surprising on the assumption that, under the cir cumstances, not even the great hit ters would have any difficulty con- meeting.
 ''The answer is that's the one thing they don't expect" Bill ex- {, plained. They are looking for a bad ball. They are just as likely perhaps more likely, to put bad ball out of the park than they are a good one.
 '"The chances are, in pinch they will hit a good ball straight at the pitcher or a fielder At least have seen it work that way and I don't know any other way tC keep really good hitter from {! doing his stuff, unless you walk him.
