TO HELP THE INDIANS
With its usual promptitude out*
local dliapter of the Red Cross \
has come to the relief of the
Copper River Indians, the Sec
retary having been instructed to
forward the sum of $00 to M r.
Schwartz, teacher of the Ind- !
ians at Chitina.
This matter was brought to
the attention of the chairman !
by Miss Hdlind. Field Repre
sentative of the American Red
Cross from the headquarters of!
the Northwestern Division, who
is touring Alaska; and has just
made a trip up the Cooper River ;
where she found that the re- j
ports of the starving condition
of the natives had not been one
bit exaggerated. The children, I
of whom over forty are orphans, j
are practically naked and s«arv j
ing.
Tne people of Chitina have;
helped all thej can in this mat
ter. and with no Government
funds available until the next
appropriation is made, — this
leaves the Indians in bad straits
It is a matter for congratulation
that McCarthy, in spite of the
fact that its population has
dwindled, has still kept its Red
Cioss chapter going and is now
in a position to assist in alleviat
ing suffering, when Chitina and
Kennecott chapters are extinct.
Though the Chapter at. Ken
nerott has been disbarder) it
is very likely that some of th«
old members will tret, together
and raise a like sum for this
emergency, in which case there
will be enough funds to procure
for those miserable cimatures
quite a supply of the necessities
of life.
Soma tim ; ag o we had a pipe
dream which was a Oood one
butas usual it failed to material
ise because of lack of funds. It
v\«s to move our large newsp iper
plant to Anchorage,start a daily
theie and grow up with the
country.
Evidently/‘great minds think
alike" for ‘ Stroller” White is
mo/ing the Douglas Island News
pi nit to Anchorage and will
s11,i*u that interesting daily.
We wish the new venture the
best of good luck And orage is
a large town with a Big count
ry behind it and is worthy of
all the publicity two good pa
pers can give it.
