TWENTY GIRLS ARE COMING ON BUCHANAN ON TO ALASKA TRIP

There will be 20 girls and 40 boys in the "On To Alaska" cruise con- ducted this year by Geo. E. Buchan- an. The girls are taking So much interest, and have so many ways to earn money, that it now looks as though they would outnumber the boys in years to come," says MT. Buchanan, and he urges the boys to get on their toes!
 These trips which started 16 years ago have enabled hundreds of young people to secure education through travel and encouraged them to work for a definite purpose young i'll life. They must earn one-third of the entire expense, their parents furnish one third and MT. Buchanan the balance. This sum they later repay into a revolving fund which en- ables another to participate in the same pleasure he has received.

INDIAN BUREAU PLANS TO
 BUILD NEW HOSPITALS

Construction of a s150.000 Bureau of Indian Affairs hospital at Bethel will begin not later than the sum- mer of 1888 and Indian Bureau hos pitals are to be constructed at Kau-I akanak and Tanana at a future date it has been learned.
 Remodeling and enlargement of the hospital at Kotzebue, remodeling of the hospital at Unalakleet and construction of a nurses clinic and quarters at Kodiak are also planned.
 Details of the hospital construction program were learned from Mr. H. R. Stamm, architect in charge of the Office of Indian Affairs. Mr. Stanm has recently concluded a trip throughout Alaska which has taken him into nearly 25 towns and yil- lages, including Point Barrow He is studying the territory in regard to building conditions, hospitals, schools and building sites.
 Plans are completed for the Bethel hospital, which will have the largest capacity of any Indian Bureau nos pital in alaska when completed. Plans are being drawn for 3S and 49 bed capacities, with construction to be made according to the latter if possible.
 The Bethel hospital will be com pletetly modern and will be equipped to handle surgery. medical. obstet- rical clinical and tubercular cases. It will have X-ray equipment and will be able to handle eye, ear and nose patients.
 The Point Barrow hospital, which recently burned to the ground, will probably not be constructed this year because of the difficulty of getting materials that far north in time to do anything during the short build ing season, MT. Stamm said He in dicated that construction would probably commence next year.
 A total of $2,20O is to be spent enlarging the hospital at Kotzebue and improving the surgical facilities
