MAY TAKE OYER METLAKAHTLA
Is the United States about to take
over Metlakahtla?
For a year a change in the man
agement of Metlakahtla has been
pending, and for several months the
matter has been in the hands of Gov
Clark, where it has been referred bv
the secretary of the interior.
The apostle of Alaska, now an oc
togenarian. while he is still hale and
hearty, has sought to be relieved of
his duties as little father of the In
dians, whom he brought from British
Columbia, transplanting them to
American soil so many years ago.
With donations which he receivea
from people of England and people
of Boston, Father Duncan establish
ed a sawmill and a cannery, and un
der his instruction the natives learn
er to live the lives of the white men
Hegularly, for more than a genera
tion, he has preached every Sunday
in the church he helped to build with
his own hands.
In all tnese years everything at
Metlakahtla has been as completely
in the hands of Father Duncan as
were the Hebrews in the hands of
Moses on their way to the promised
land. About a year ago Father Dun
can expressed to the secretary of the
interior a desire to retire, and a
wish that the project might be taken
over by the United States govern
ment.
Many believe that the departure of
Governor Clark for tnat place means
that the matter is now about to come
to a head, that the terms of the
change will be agreed upon at Met
lakahtla during this visit of the gov
ernor and that in a short time the
village will be in charge of the gov
ernment Indian bureau.
SALMON CATCH UNAFFECTED
The stories to the effect that the
recent volcanic disturbance to the
westward have killed all of the fish
are not borne out by actual results.
While it is true that there are lots
of dead birds floating on the water
and for miles out to sea the water is
covered with floating volcanic ash,
there is no evidence that there will
be any shortage of salmon this year.
At Port Graham, the Fidalgo Island
Packing Company have packed more
than one thousand cases this season
and as an evidence of what they
think of the future prospects, the
Sampson while west unloaded 18,000
cases of empty cans which they ex
pect to fill this year. At the Seldovia
salmon canning plant they have al
ready packed better than 3,500 cases
and expect to do a great deal more
as soon as the second run of fish
starts. Just at this time after the
first run has passed and before the
second run begins, there is always a
quiet time in the fish canning busi
ness and this fact, coupled with the
recent disturbance, doubtless ac
counts for the stories of a shortage
of fish.

FIRST FARMS IN ALASKA
OPEN AUG. 15
The first township plat of survey
to be filed in Alaska, at least it is the
first one in this district, will be re
corded in the Juneau land office on
August 15. It is for Township 3
North, Range 1 West of the Copper
River Meridian, being land at the
junction of the Copper River and the
Tazlina River.
On and after said date the land of
fice at Juneau will be prepared to re
ceive and file applications for lands
within said township by qualified ap
plicants. The applications will be
acted upon in the order in which they
are reecived in that office.
Actual settlers on the land prior
to the survey thereof are allowed a
preference right of ninety days in
which to present their filings.
Applications may be sworn to be
fore any United States commissioner,
the clerk of the court of record at
Valdez or before any notary public.
The filing of this township plat is
of interest chiefly to the agricultural
land claimants. The homestead laws
applicable in Alaska permit the en
try of not to exceed 320 acres of land
and the fees chargeable for filing an
application for 160 acres are $16,
for 320 acres $22, chargeable in the
office at Juneau.

KATALLA REFUSES TO
DOWN
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
government to stifle the resources of
Katalla. the community is taking on
new life, and promises one of these
days to fully awaken from the knock
cut blows dealt it by Teddy, Pinchot
and Garfield.
The Amalgamated Development
Company have added to their gaso
line refinery for the refining of illu
minating oil of a capacity of 800 gal
lons a day, and expect within sixty
days to produce 1,600 gallons of il
luminating oil and the same quanti
ty of gasoline daily. Both these
products are of a high grade, equal
to any on the market, with the ad
vantage that the home product keeps
the money at home, whereas that
paid for the Eastern product helps
to further enrich John D., and never
sees its way to the northland.
A new well being bored by the
company struck oil at 580 feet, but
sinking will contniue until flowing
oil is struck. The company have sent
out for a rotary driller, with which
they will do much more rapid work
than at the present system. They
expect the new drill to be at work
within 30 days.
One new oil rig was just received
on the Bertha by the Alaska Oil
Fields Company, and another will be
brought north on the next Sampson
for the Royal Oil Company.
A fish saltery has been establish
ed at Chilkat with a capacity of 2,
500 barrels. Dr. J. C. Morrison is at
the head of this enterprise and has
interested with him a number of the
Gorham canning people.
Dr. German, the Valdez dentist, is
being kept busy here at his profes
sion.
The Amalgamated Development
Company are now employing sixty
men and will increase this force with
in a short time.

EAGLE’S INVENTOR
BECOMES FAMOUS
Eagle may some day become fa
mous as a result of some of the
work of one of its leading citizens,
E. A. Robertson, familiarly called
“Nimrod” Robertson.
Mr. Robertson is an old-timer in
Alaska, and the owner of one of the
richest claims on Flume creek. For
several years, during his spare time,
he has worked on a bas-relief map
of the Eagle-Forty-mile quadrangle,
and completed it a year ago. The
map is six feet by six feet and shows
every mountain range and creek in
that country. The map, although a
long way from finished at the time,
was exhibited at the Alaska-Yukon
Pacific exposition, and its accuracy
was the marvel of all who were fa
miliar with that country.
Last winter he built a model aero
plane, about eighteen inches long,
complete in all details, and equipped
it with a compressed air motor of
uis own invention. Tne machine will
remain in the air for five minutes.
The motor is a marvel of simplicity,
but its secrets will not be divulged
until he has secured his patents.
Mr. Robertson shot a fine black
bear this spring, and while admiring
the imimal's beautiful set of teeth
and bemaoning the lack of most of
his own, decided to remedy his own
condition. So, taking the bear’s
teeth, he made himself a complete
set of both upper and lower, with the
exception three teeth in the lower
jaw and the front teeth of the up
per jaw. The new sets are dandies
and now “Nimrod’ can sample the
whole menu from asparagus tips to
Dam Lode quartz.
Mr. Robertson is Arctic chief of
A. B. Camp No. 13 at Eagle; sachem
of Chethulie Tribe No. 6 Independ
ent Order of Redmen and chief of
Eagle volunteer fire brigade.

COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC
HEALTH IS DR. KRULISH
“An erroneous impression seems to
prevail in regard to the duties of Dr.
Emil Krulish,” said Gov. Clark the
other day, “which I would like to
see corrected. Dr. Krulish is really
the commissioner of public health
for Alaska. While he does not have
the title, his duties are the same as
those of a commissioner of public
health in many of the states. While
he does a good deal of work among
the Indians in connection with the
school service, this is a mere incident
of his work, and is due to the fact
that a good many diseases are prev
alent among them.
“We have discovered that without
any additional legislation it will be
possible to enforce a quarantine,
either inland or on the seacoast, and
Dr. Krulish will appoint assistant I
surgeons in the various towns of
Alaska, who will receive compensa
tion whenever they perform any ser
vice.”
