The Alaskan Is In receipt of a let
ter from Cyril J. Soboleff, president
of the Sitka Branch of the Children's
Xational Humane Society, in which
ho urges that branch societies , be '

highly probable that a branch society
will be formed here in the near fu
ture.
In Sitka the society has had a
most benificent influence in prevent
ing cruelty to animals. During Oc
tober, however, several boys who
were members of the society, treated
a small kitten cruelly. The matter
was reported and the culprits wore
tried by the society and punished by
not being allowed to wear their badg
es for three months.
