MISSIONARY SOCIETY HAS
SUCCESSFUL TEA AND SALE

The Native Missionary Society
Tea and Sale held Tuesday after
noon in the Presbyterian church
parlor was well attended.
bingham aprons, children's
dresses and a variety of useful and
pretty articles fashioned by the
members were displayed for sale
on tables placed at each side of
the fireplace.
The tea tables were spread with
embroidered linens and set with
tea things which the women had
brought from their homes. Tea
was made in the church kitchen
and served with delicious home
made cakes and cookies.
The Missionary Society is COM
posed of group of Native women
under the leadership of Mrs. Will
ham Tameree. There is danger in
having too much done for u.s. said
Mrs. Tamaree, and when once
Natives grasp the fact that We
must help others if we want to
advance and make any progress
ourselves, they are quick to re-
spond." Much of the WORK of the
society is concerned with the
needy ones among the Natives, but
they also wish to give their mite
20 help those in foreign lands.

Benefit Dance Plans
Insure Big Success

Under the leadership of Mrs.
Joseph Sumption, the shrimp pick
ers of the Reliance Shrimp Cannery
are going ahead with plans for the
Hospital Benefit dance which they
will give at Redmen's hall Satur-
day evening. March 26.- The hall
rent has been donated by Mr..
Joseph Sumption and Mr.. George
Sumption.
While the dance is in progress
downstairs the ladies will serve
lunch upstairs. Bountiful supplies
Of patato and shrimp salads will be
prepared and donated by Mrs.
Sumption. The cakes will be baked
by Mrs. Hustoft, Mrs. Casey and
Mrs. Cameron.
Several weeks ago the fifteen
pickers began depositing rs cents
each Monday morning with Mrs.
materials for the lunch. At the
same time Mrs. Sumption and Paul
Galang always contributed SO cents
each to help swell the fund, SO
patrons of the lunch room are as
sured of an abundance of good
eats, much out of proportion to the
modest sum of 25 cents which will
be charged for the lunch.
Music for the dance will be pro-
vided by Willie Wizards orchestra

Report Shows Nurse
Has Been Kept Busy

Miss Margaret Weightman, Public
lnuian Affairs at Wrangell and
petersburg, left on the Norco this
morning for Petersburg where she
wall spend few weeks.
That Miss Weightman's services
were needed in Wrangell is evidence
ed by the fact that during Feb
ruary she ministered to 1913 cases
of flu among the Natives and gave
nursing treatment to a total of
205 patients, including clinic and
out-ot-clinic visits. She has 270
Natives under her jurisdiction in
Wrangell. During February she
made 236 visits to homes.
Miss Weightman's report to the
Indian Bureau for the month of
March up to and including March
16, showed that during this time
she has had AZ patients and has
given nursing treatments lis
times.
She has also weighed all the
grade school children and has
given so toxin-anti-toxin treat
ments to school children and Ma
tives for immunization against
diphtheria. The toxin is supplied
by the Territory and is administer
ed to the community, whites and
Natives alike, through the courtesy
of Miss Weightman

The Elks Hard Times dance

Advice has been received from
the War department through
Major Malcolm Elliott, District En-
gineer, U. S. Board of Engineers,
that the preliminary examinations
and surveys covering improvements
OF Wrangell HarDor and Stikine
River have been favorably consld-
cred by the Department and for
warded to Congress for its consid-
GRAFTON. Actual work on the prof.
ects can not be done until Congress
has authorized these items in
river and harbor bill and made an
appropriation to cover the cost of
the work.
That the projects are at last be-
fore Congress is a matter of much
qualification to the Wrangell
Chamber of Commerce which has
been tlrelessly working for these
improvements for a number OF
years.
Harbor improvements
The proposed work at Wrangell
Harbor consists of dredging a
basin 10 feet deep and about 400
feet by 600 feet in area at the
south end of the harbor at an
estimated cost of $4,000, with
maintenance at the rate of $500
annually. This improvement is
for the benefit of small vessels
which make Wrangell Harbor their
home port. 1t is estimated that the
vessels using the harbor consist of
about 300 documented vessels, 6
river vessels and about zoo smaller
crafts and the commerce for the
past five years has averaged $500
tons and $500 passengers per year.
Stikine Clearance
The project for improvement of
the lower reaches of the Stikine
River consists merely of removal of
snags in the lower 80 miles of the
river at an estimated cost of $500
per annum. 1t is understood that

NEW ORDER BENEFITS
SPANISH WAR VETERANS

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Spanish-
american war veterans now may
nave an extra 10 points in their
earned ratings in examinations for
The Federal civil services under a
recent executive order which has
supplanted an earlier order requir-
ing veterans to prove that their
disability was service-connected.
Because of the lack of medical
and physical records kept during
the Spanish-American War, it was
said, the veterans under the old
proving their services. The order
follows:
Under the new order, veterans
who are more than SIS years of age,
and, because of disability, are en-
titled to pension, compensation, or
disability allowance under exist
ing law, are allowed the addition
of 10 points to their earned rat
ings in examinations for Federal
Civil Service.
Under the order previously in
effect, it was necessary that the
applicant give satisfactory evidence
that his disability was service-con-
nected. A committee representing
the United Spanish War Veterans
called upon the Presidents Ad-
visory Committee on Veterans
Preference and pointed out that
the order as it stood prevented the
allowance of the 10 point prefer
ence to disabled SpanishAmerican
War veterans because the lack of
medical and physical records main
tanned during the Spanish-Ameri-
can War and the lapse of that war
made it difficult in most cases, and
impossible in many to establish the
service connection of existing dis
abilities. From Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans Semi-Weekly.
