Spirit of Revelry Holds Sway
 Over New Year
HOUSE PARTIES, AND DANCES MARK PASSING OF 1880; BILLS CLUB HOLD HI LINKS AND NATIVES GIVE DANCE

Wrangell has watched the pass ing of another year in the tradition al fashion. Hardly had the candles been extinguished on the Christmas trees before the New Yean was upon us, to be observed with gay house parties, dinners and dances. Christ mas is apt to be more of a home affair-a festival for the children but New Years Eve is dedicated to reyelry for the oldster.s
 The Bills Club Hi links was the principal attraction for most Wran- gellites. The school gymnasium was appropriately decorated with Elks colors and greenery and a plentiful supply of noisemakers and other favors was provided by the en- tertainment committee. Up until II o'clock only a few dancers were seen on the floor and there was but little animation. As the houn of midnight drew near little queues oi merrymakers from house parties be- gan to arrive and the affair took on color and life.
 Watch services were held at the Salvation Army hall, Staff Captain Joseph Acton presiding. Rev. H. P. Corser and Rev. Russell F. Peder- son addressed the meeting.
 On New Years night the Alaska Native Brotherhood gave a dance at the rink, and the Sisters and Broth CTS Society also feted their members at their hall.
 One customary feature of the New Year celebration which was missed was the parade and dance usually staged by natives wearing the old ceremonial costumes and do- ing the war dances of ancient times. Apparently it was felt there were not enough people interested to make this feature worth while.

BLUNT THINKS RENAHAN MAY BE ALIVE; WILL WORK FOR AIR RELIEF

That Renahan and his com

 : the opinion of Harry Blunt,
 Pacific International Airways
 : pilot who was injured in a
 plane crash at Telegraph Creek and who passed through Wran-
 gell on the Princess Norah. Investigation of reports that : trapper and a lineman near ! Echo Lake had heard a plane over the head of the Mass about the time Renahan was supposed : to have met disaster, and ru- mors among the Indians that , three white men are marooned ! in the snow on the Mass, has } convinced Blunt that there may
 ! still be a chance for them to pull through. He will agitate . for a relief expedition by air as soon as he arrives in Van couver.

Switch In Bureaus Means More Money For Native Affairs
COMMISSIONER RHOADEs OUT. LINES HANDICAPS TO TRANS FER OF SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3O- If the Alaska Division of the Office of Education is transferred to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, as pro- vided in the Interior Department supply bill as 1t was passed by the House, 1t will result in shift of personnel from the Office of Educa- tion and the formation of an en- tirely new policy by the Indian Af- fairs Bureau, it was made known today by Commissioner Rhoades.
 The Indian Bureau, he declared, would be entering into an unknown field, as the Alaska wards of the Federal government are not kept on reservations.
 Commissioner Rhoades said: "It probably will be necessary to form ulate new policy In handling some 26,000 Indians and Eskimos because of the great difference of conditions in Alaska and the west" " He added that he would call on the Office of Education for assist ance.
 The Interior Department bill now pending in the Senate proposing the transfer calls for $1,000,000 for the Bureau of Indian Affairs for diree- tion of education, economic support and medical relief. Under the of flee of Education in 1890 education of Alaska aborigines cost $5SO, ,000, and economic support and medical relief cost S171,780.

Lightest Fur Catch In History of The CaSSiar Predicted
TRAPPERS REPORT BAD LUCK HEAVY SNOWFALL WRECKS
 BRIDGES ON TELEGRAPH LINE


 The lightest fur catch in the his tory of the Cassiar is forecast for this season by the fur traders at Telegraph Creek. Records kept for more than fifty years indicate this, according to word received from the stikine town in the alst mail Late winter and early spring catches may alter this situation, but the fall trapping fell short of the usual figures.
 Extraordinarily heavy snowfall might account for this in some meas ure, it is said. Eighteen to twenty inches is the average snowfall at the head of the Stikine. but this year there has been more than three feet in many sections. The heavy fall of snow at Nahlin telegraph station resulted in the destruction of the bridge across the Nahlin riv- CT, causing considerable delay to the mail teams bound to and from Atlin. This was a cable bridge, and cannot be repaired immediately.
 Mail Teams Delayed
 
 Earl Faulkner and Charles Vance are alternating on the trips to At lin with the mail. The round trip usually requires fifteen days. but this winter the average time has been thirty days, due to the heavy trail. Nothing but first-class mail and express is accepted. express atI the rate of one dollar a pound

 Mcdonald and McMillan, twoI well-known prospectors of the lower Dease, had the misfortune to lose part of their winters supplies while running Cottonwood Rapids hast fall, enroute to French Creek. Joel Gibson and Fred Ludecker are get ting out logs to be re-sawed into lumber for next years operations on Mosquito Creek. They were due in Telegraph Creek for the holidays.
