FUTUEE OF THE
NEW NATIVE
Insomuch as school w II dose
April 30, and the typesetters will gt '
trolling, we are compelled to male
this issue the final one in the present
school year. Heiice there wi.l hem.
more regular publication until t ext
September. A Fourth of .liny edition
will undoubtedly be printed anti .id ,
our subscribers will get that issue.
Next fall, the leys hope to install
small wireless station that will con
nect with Craig. With the wireless
news and the experience i.ow in their
hand's, the boys will try to publish
weekly. Another embryonic cartoon
ist gives promise of some good illus
tration. Earring such terrible epide
mics as the flu which queered our
plars very much, the new year
bids fair for continued progress of
The New Native.
The A.N.B. will coxne to the foie
next fall with a sweep, and the New
Native has offered its columns to the
leaders of that fraternal movement.
The industrial development ot our |
town, the new saw and shingle mil'-1
the electric light plant, new two story
40x80 store building, the promise oi |
of the movie, our efficient school sys
tem, with increased facilities teach
ing boat building and furniture mak
ing by a native carpenter and boat
builder, and the domestic arts, all
or part of these characteristics have
brot the rumor to us that various
families scattered about in less ad
vantageous places, will move to j
Hydaburg.
The greater our population, the
greater our purchasing power and
therefore The New Native should > ea
lize sufficient advertising to insure
regular weekly publication
We thank all our readers for their i
interest and subscription.

NATIVES MUST
HEED SULZER’S
CHALLENGE
The death of Suizer,
the congressman, is re
gretted by the natives,
no less than Suizer the
neighbor. Natives will
never forget his magni
ficent address at the
recent fair at Klawock.
His splendid defense
for the right to citizen
ship of all intelligent
natives who have
erased their old ways
and informed themsel
ves on the principles
jf democratic govern
ment ;his powerful dial

talk English constantly
will now take on increas
el in i i\]. t'ar.in a
p&iitiiai sense, natives |
can process only as
the* educate themse ve;
and participate in the
science of government.
No one will champion
native interests, politi
cally, unless they come
up to the challenge
scunded in that speech.

Hardwaro Called- For.
Few things are snore illustrative
of the great changes going on in
the social and economic life of the
nation than the changes in the use
of the things of the hardware busi
ness. Nowadays the story of sani
tation and cleanliness is reflected in
the fact that every little hardware
store in every village carries a line
of bathroom fixtures, since both
small town people and farmers are
freely given to the use of running
water.
The growing use of the modern
coal oil stove, the kitchen sink and
the increasing demand for pipe fix
tures and plumbing appliances toll
of the revolt of the overworked
housewife in rural districts for the
comforts and conveniences of the
kitchen. The increasing demand
for tlie electrical iron and the wash
ing machine hints at the wornout
patience of the laundress on blue
Mondays, so that these labor saving
devices may make her lot easier and
increase her comfort.
I he falling off in the sale of foot
scrapers indicates the prevalence of
good roads and concrete sidewalks.
Even the growing demand for coat
and trousers hangers confirms the
general observation of a better
dressed and neater people.
Edge tools nowadays must not
only have quality, but style as well,
since carpenters and mechanics are
growing in intelligent appreciation.
The steadily decreasing sale of
bowie knives and revolvers hints at
the passirg of the bully and the
“bad man” in all save the slums of
I be congested centers.
The fast spreading intelligent
cultivation of great fruit and gar
den truck areas finds echo in the
steadily swelling sales of tree prim
ers, garden tools and spraying ma
chines, while the growth in pleas
ure loving assemblies and social
functions is told in the eager de
mand for casseroles, coffee perco
lators, silverware and all the deco
rative appurtenances of the table

Neeued the Moray Dadly.
A newspaper man of Washington
was approached one morning bv n
friend who wanted to borrow fjo.
The newspaper man, assuming an
expression of great sorrow, pulled
20 cents out of his pocket and re
marked :
“I’m sorry, old man, but you’ve
struck me just before pav dav, and
I’m broke.”
Having made this eraftv excuse,
he, mentally speaking, pinned a
gold medal on himself for having
evaded the prospective borrower.
“When is your pay day?” asked
the friend.
“Tomorrow afternoon,” replied
the newspaper man.
“All right.” said the friend. “I’ll
come around then.”
And he did.
Peculiar Table Customs.
In a book entitled "Domestic
Manners of the Middle Ages” we
an; told that in those days dinner
tables were covered by a “napp
or tablecloth, rpon it were placed
a saltcellar and bread and cups foi
wine, but no knives or plates. The
reason for the absence of the knives
arose from the common practice in
vogue of people carrying their own
knives in a sheath attached to theii
girdle. In an curly work written
bv Lydgate, “Rules For Behavior at
Table,” the guests arc told to bring
no knives unscoured to the tabic,
which ran only mean that each one
was to keep his own knife—that is

| KLUKWAN NOTES |
Mr. Loppand Mr. Hawkesworth
have been in Klukwan for tjig past
week adjusting school and store
matters. They had planned to reach'
the village earlier in the school year
but the continued quarantine at
i Haines prevented them.
A short time ago the native boys
and girls of Klukwan went by dog
team to Haines where two match
games cf basketball were played.
Both games were won by Klukwan
with a score of 2(1 to 6 for the boys
and l’Jto2 for the girls. Aftergam
es the Klukwan boys entertained
the crowd with an original vaudevi’e
show which was met with prolonged
applaused.
Rev. F. A. Falconer who has been
mi.-sopary in Klukwan for the past
past seventeen years is pianuugto
leav e early in May for Ketchikan.
He lias provided private instructions
tor his children for a number of years
but now feels that they need the ad
vantages of public schools. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Falconer have become en
deared to the village people and their
leaving will mea.i a great loss to Klu
kwan. Mr.Falconer will continue in
the Native Mission at Ketcuikan.
During the visit of Mr. Lopp and
Mr. Hawkesworth, a basketball game
was arranged between the Mission
and the Bureau of Education. Mr
i Hawkesworth WcS the admitted star
with Miss Frieda Falconer a close se
cond. Mr, Lopp had never played be
fore, butheoiseovered himself in this
game, and won laurels for the Bureau.
When time was called, the score steed
56 to in favor of the U.S.B F rathe:
Lopp sided, most of the basket having
teen tin own by Sup't, Hawke.swprth
over the h a i of his diligent and indig
i.ant gem a, Miss Jean Falconer.

A GET RICH QUICK
SCHEME.
Hydfibtrrg .Alaska
Dear Sir:—
Knowing that you have some in
terest in the fur business, I take the
liberty of presenting you with what
seeins to be a most wonderful busi
ness proposition, and which, np doubt
you will take a lively interest in and
perhaps wire us the amount of stock
that you wish to subscribe toward the
formation of this company.
The object of this company is to op
erate a large cat ranch in or near
Crane Lake Saskatchewan where
and can be purchased for this pur
pose.
lo start with, we collect about, say
one hundred thousand 100,000 cats'
Each cat will average twelve 12 kit
tens per year. Tae skins run from tea
10 cents each for the white onek, to
seventy-five 75 cents for the pure
black. This will give us twelve million 0
12,000,000 skins for a year to sell on *
an aver a.ce of thirty 30 cents apiece
making our revenue about ten thou
sand dollars 10,000 per day groks.
a man can SKiu fiity cats per day—
two dollar 2.00. It will take about 100
men to operate the ranch and there
fore the net profit will thus be about
nil e thousond eight hundred dollars
$9 800 per day.
We will feed the cats on rats and
will start a rat ranch next door. The
ruts will multiply four times as fast
is the cats, therefore, if we start with
one million rats we will have four rats
a day for each cat, which is plenty.
Now then we will feed the rats on
carcasses i f the cats from which the
si.ins have been taken, giving each
ra s a fourth of a cat.
It v.ill ti t: 11 m «r 11 i f il e 1 vsl
ness will be self-sustaining and auto,
matic all the way through. The cats
will eat the rats and tl e rats w ill ea
the cats and we will get the skins.
Awaiting your prompt reply, and
illmug ii11you ill appreciate the |
opportunity that I give you and that
you wiil grasp same and get rich
quick, I remain.
Ycuis very truly.
Crane Lai e Ranching Co.
We do not recommend it to our
readers as an investment. In fact,
sounds very much lixe a “skin game
to us.
