Will Take Four Big Cases of Cloth
ing To Bristol Qay Transpor
tation Free.
Four cases of clothing will be sent
westward on the next Santa Ana for
the use of the natives In the Bristol
bay region. The shipment is being
made by the Valdez Civic league and
the clothing has been donated by the
people of Valdez. The shipment will
go tyrect to Mrs. Call, the United
States Commissioner in the Bristol
bay region, $nd she will attend to
the distribution of the clothes among
the needy natives.
The need for aid was so apparent
to Judge F. M. Brown when he made
the trip westward last season on the
floating court that he started tlhe
movement and with the aid of the
ladies has succeeded in securing a
large amount of clothes which will
help to keep the natives warm during
next winter. The shipment could.not
be made before this as the Santa
Ana does not make calls in Bristol
bay except during June, July and
August.
,The Alaska Steamship company
have ordered (hat the freight be car
ried free and they will donate the
freight as their share in aiding the
natives.
Mrs. Call, the U. S. Commissioner,
is the only woman commissioner in
Alaska.
