FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
HYDABURQ
An interesting paragraph is
found .in a report just issued
on the work of the bureau of
education for the natives of
Alaska. It tells of the founding
of the village of Hydaburg on
the west coast of Prince of
wales island.
This is a communal village,
like Metlakhatla, but the
Indians arp thp Algskp Hydahs
who formerly lived in scatter
ed villages. After two years
their two principal concerns, a
trading company and a lumber
mill, both native enterprises,
>how successful conduct.
The remarkable thing about
this is the rise of a people in
the scale of civilization in half
a century frqm head-hunting
savages to communism.
One of the eaTly settlers of
Whidby island, andthe first
collector of customs on Puget
Sound, Col, Ebey, who has
many decendants still living
was killed by pnp of these
tribes and his head was car
ried away os a trophy,
In common with tlie tribes
! of the Kwakiult family, the
Hydas practiced cannibalism.
This was a rite, however, the
hamatsa degree in the secret
society or order w’bich united
all the northern Indians in a
more or less common brother
hood.
These head-hunling canabal
;stie natives preyed upon all
They excelled the Salish in
menial and physical vigor and
are surviving longer in the un
equal struggle with civilization
On the one side there is but
a feeble survivil, with no ad
vancement. On the other there
ms been progress and marked
capacity for readjustment to
"hanging environment.
In the light of history, the
age-old conflicts of savagery,
with the accompanying deg
■adalion and debauchery, the |
■ise of various portions of the!
Hydah and Tsimpsian tribes
really is a most remarkable
anthropological phenomenon.

One very peculiar matter
n connection with the Seddon
wreck is that although this
schooner carried life-belts or

Ihem has been washed ashore.
There was thirty carried on

witha a tarpaulin, but in the
mass of wood and wreckage
which marks the beach for
twenty miles from the scene of
the wreck, there is not to be
noted a solitary life belt. It re

remote hope that the men may
have made a raft of these and
been driven ashore some place
on the Diomedes or elsewhere.

as we were trying to round
Cape Chacon was absolutely
the worst I have seen in my
fifteen years of steamboating
in Alaska. For hours the Sew
ard fought the wind and waves
in a blinding snow storm, and
at last was forced to give up
the fight and put back to shelt

‘‘One item of the Seward’s
cargo was fifteen tons of dyn
amite in boxes. The tossing ol
the vessel in the storm as we
were trying to round the Cape
broke loose the lashings of the
powder and it went rolling a
round in the ’tween decks of
the steamer, until almost every
body on board expected to see
the whole thing blow up and
leave only a memory of the
eward ay.d her crew. It was (o
ecnre this largely that we de
ided to anchor in shelter and
vait for the wind to moderate.
‘The Seward had also a
lumber of horses on board
unsigned to Valdez. These
vere thrown down during the

will proceed north. From .lu
