ELLEN KENNETH
PASSES AWAY AT
TOWN OF EAGLE
NATIVE WOMAN WAS RESPECTED
BY WHITES AND NATIVES—
NIECE BUMMER JOE
EAGLE, March 1.—Ellen Kenneth,
a native, of Eagle, passed away last
month after a lingering illness with
the dreaded Indian disease—tubercu
losis.
Ellen was the only daughter of “Old
Maggie” a noted character of Eagle,
and sister of the late “Bummer” Joe
of Dawson fame. The natives of
Eagle have not lost one of their num
ber of years that will be missed any
more than will Ellen. She was loved
and respected by all—both whites and
natives. *
Ellen and Kenneth had no children
of their own, but adopted and raised
several orphan children, and, in fact,
they had been both a mother and a
father to the whole village. Their
home, as well as their hearts, had al
ways been open to every one in need.
A cold raw day did not prevent a
large attendance at the funeral. Quite
a few whites walked for miles to at
tend the service, which was carried
on by the natives themselves, there
being no missionary stationed here
this winter.
Ellen contracted a cold last summer
which settled on her lungs. She took
a trip to Dawson and consulted Dr.
Alfred Thompson, who treated her,
but the disease got too strong a hold
on her, and she had been growing
weaker and weaker, until the last call
came and her spirit was called to the
Great Beyond.

cost of $105,000, a new locomotive

“Let’s Go to California"
EVERY DAY some tired, prosperous or otherwise
travel-inclined man says to his wife, “Let’s go to
California.” And such is the power of advertising
that, although neither of them may ever have been
there before, they know just how to go, approxi
mately what it will cost and where they want to stay.
The same with anything you may need or want.
You already know about, by whom it is made, what
it costs, and where it is for sale. Advertising is a
modern form of an intelligence department. It keeps
you informed, advises you of new things, suggests
new uses for articles you already own, and prepares
you today for wise and useful purchases tomorrow.
It does all this for you, almost unconsciously, dur
ing the half-hour or so you spend each day with your
newspaper. Little by little—the best and surest
way to learn—advertising makes you informed of
what is going on in the world that is useful to you.

NEW SCHEDULE ALONG LINES
ALREADY INTRODUCED—BON
US DISAPPEARS
OTTAWA, March 12.—A revision of
salaries in the government service,
both at Ottawa, and throughout the
country, is being made by the civil
service commission in conjunction
with the deputy ministers of the dif
ferent departments.
A start was made last year with the
postal and customs employes. The
revision now under way applies to all
other branches of the service. Much
the same line is now followed and if
the scheme is approved, the cost of
living bonus will disappear and be ab
sorbed into permanent salaries.
The minimum salary of low grades
will be increased from $600 to $720 a
year and there will be a grade be
tween $720 and $900. A new class
between $960 and $1,200 and a third
from $1250 to $1500.
Nine of the present classifications
will be wiped out and embraced in
grade one, ten in grade two and eight
in grade three. The senior clerks
are to start at $1,440 and go to $1,800,
instead of the present scale of $1,320
to $1,690. It will be provided that no
one will get less than was received un
der the old scale.

Telegraphic advices received from
the westward states that about forty
five children and the matrons and
| workers of the Kodiak Baptist Or
| phanage are without shelter as a re
I suit of a disastrous fire which de
I stroyed the two main buildings of the
! institution on the night of March 1st.
The Orphanage is located on Wood
Island about two miles from the city
of Kodiak, on 640 acres of land grant
ed to the Women’s Home Missionary
Board of the Baptist Church by the
government for the purpose of con
ducting an orphanage and industrial
training school for native orphans.
The buildings burned consisted of
the administration building which
housed the superintendent’s family,
administrative offices, kitchen, dormi
tory. The orphanage was founded
about thirty years ago. Rev. George
Learn, who died last year, and who
was well-known to Alaskans on the
coast, was its superintendent during
most of its history. The orphanage
conducted a farm, dairy and cannery,
and taught its boys and girls farming,
stock raising, carpentering, printing,
cooking, sewing and music.
