Russian Bishop to Aid Schools
Bishop Innocent of the Russian
Orthodox church in Alaska, has offered
to supply teachers for the public schools
at Sitka. Owing to the red tape at
tached to securing an appropriation,
that town now has no school, and the
bishop’s offer was made to provide edu
cation for the children until such time
as the government allowance is forth
coming.
The Yakutat Lumber Company re
ceived 25,000 feet of dimension lumber

t»f shingles was also received.
