Due to failing health. Mrs.
Nancy Acklen (Mrs. Pyne) has
found it best to go to Washing
ton and take advantage of its
milder climate. Mrs. Acklen will
visit with her son there. She has
not resigned her position as
Principal of the Haines Govern
ment School. She is being re
lieved by Mrs. Hoffman during
her absence. Her return is much
hoped for by her many friends.
She is well known and well liked
in this district. Mrs. Acklen’s
students number up into the
hundreds in Alaska. This was
possible through the many chil
dren taken in at the Haines
House. Many of the little chil
dren who took their first lessons
from Mrs. Acklen several years
ago are now in their final years
of high school in the Sheldon
Jackson School at Sitka, The
Eklutna Training School, and
the Haines High School. This is
Mrs. Acklen’s 13th year as gov
ernment teacher in Haines. Mrs.
Hoffman has taught before in
the Public School. She is no be
ginner to the teaching profes
sion.
The Juniors and the Seniors
of the high school entertained
the Frosh, Sophs, and teachers
last week. A good time was had
by all—no cases were brought
before the school Tribunal. It
has to be good when the Prose
cutor can’t stick someone for
some charge.

Juneau was a recent caller in
Haines. While here he put some

KLUKWAN
Former Chief Yalth-chowk
peacefully passed away Jan.25th,
Lhe oldest man among Klukwan
people. During the time he lived
among his people he was honest
and upright and observed the
Oolden rule at all times and the
people of Klukwan felt a great
loss at his passing.
During the A. N. B. Conven
tion at Klukwan he joined the
Brotherhood as an honorary!
member. Since he joined the or
ganization he backed the work
in every shape and form and his
\sork as a member in the Broth
erhood will be long remembered.
His funeral was left in the
hands of the local Camp of the
Alaska Native Brotherhood and
a beautiful floral offering was
given by both Haines and Kluk
wan Camps of the Alaska Native
Sisterhood.
Funeral service were held Jan. I
28th. The pall bearers from the
Camps and members were In
uniform.
One of his relatives claim
! Y althchowk was twenty-five
years old the year U. S. bought
Alaska from Russia. His last
word was “Keep the good work
of the Brotherhood going.” He
'also left word to salute the
Brotherhood with three shots
of his canon so the Brotherhood
carried out his last word before
his body was laid in the grave.
Three shots of the canon were
flred—which means that he has
given his last farewell to all the
Camps of the Brotherhood in
Southeastern Alaska.

KETCHIKAN
x
The grand jury investigating
the death of Tom Harris, Ket
chikan, declared it their opinion
that his death was due to sui -
cide. The report of physicians
indicate that Tom was shot from
behind and following the report
of the grand jury, he must have
pulled off an acrobatic stunt to
get the rifle behind him to put
in the order for daisies for later
delivery.
Regarding the death of Bert
Evans, the jury declared: “The
homicide, according to the evi
dence, was not intentional. The
deceased apparently was no!
known by the person firing the
fatal shot. No motive to kill de
ceased was shown Both parties
were hunting in the same unin
i habited brushy area, and ap
j partently did not know of each
[other’s presence there. In the
excitement of the pursuit of a
deer, the fatal shot was fired
into brush without any idea that
a human being was within
range of the bullet. The horn: -
cide was unfortunate and is to
be regretted. The grand jury is
of opinion that felonious homi
cide has not been shown.” And
no bone but a bureaucrat thot
of alleging that the death of
Bert Evans was anything but
accidental—but officious, ser
vants of the people, lose sight
of their worth and value and as
sume that their decisions arc
law and without understanding
or sympathy, work to make a
record for their office. It took a
jury of Alaskans to straighten
out the regrettable death of
Bert Evans.
Petersburg is to have a deputy
clerk of the district court—if
the Judge of the Court, listens
to its recommendations. Purpose,
advocated by this publication
for several years—to cut down
expense of making future citi
zens.
