ALASKA^ INDIANS
SEATTLE, March 6—A government
schooner, devoted to the uses of the
Alaska Indians, who are wards of the
United States, may have its base in
this city. It is planned that this
schooner shall ply betwen Seattle and
Alaska ports during the summer to
carry food and supplies to the na
tives and in the winter will be used
as a training ship for the younger In
dians.
W. T. Lopp, chief clerk of the Alas
ka division of the Bureau of Educa
tion, is now in Washington to appear
before the House Committee on Ap
propriations. He will ask for $125,
000 for medical relief and $250,000
for food and necessaries for the na
tives. Included in this last appro
priation is included the item for the
new schooner.
It is the belief of government offi
cials that considerable money can be
saved in transportation by having a
special government schooner, and that
the Indians may be trained in sea
craft with much advantage to them
selves.
