PAYMENT IS ORDERED
TO FlITIOD INDIANS
WASHINGTON, March 25. <£>)—
A per capita of $50 to the Flathead
Indians of Montana has been author
ized by the Department of the Inter
ior.
The payment, which totals $120,850
will be paid out of accumulated funds
to the credit of this Indian tribe now
on deposit in the United States
Treasury.
Indians living on the Flathead Res
ervation receiving shares in the dis
tribution total 2,537. The payment
is made at this time because of sev
ere winter weather and heavy snows
on the reservation making it necess
ary for the Indians to purchase food
and forage for their livestock.
Distribution of money will be made
to the Indians by the superintendent
of the Flathead Agency with head
quarters at Dixon, Mont.
MORE ON SCHOOLS
(Continued from Page 2)
out attendant authority to enforce
reasonable building requirements is
open to serious question.”
Recapitulating, the Commissioner
said: “Today’s 8,056 pupils are en
rolled in 166 public schools of all
classes in Alaska. School expendi
tures for both systems of schools to
tal $930,734.24, not including the
health and reindeer services of the
U. S. Bureau of Education. The to
tal number of teachers employed is
385.”
There has been a corresponding
I growth in plant valuations during
| the quarter-century period, the Com
| missioner said. “The annual report
jof the Ketchikan schools for the
year ended June 30, 1926, shows a
! valuation of school sites, buildings
and equipment of $220,000. It is
safe to assert, that this one city has
a larger amount of money invested
in its school plant than was invested
in all the public school plants of
Alaska 25 years ago. The cost of
instruction, operation and mainten
ance of this school for the school
year 1925-26 was $45,417.77, a sum
greater than the total expenses of all
public schools in Alaska 25 years
ago.”
B. II. Barndollar, examiner of ac
counts, Alaska Railroad, who has
been in Washington, D. C., for a
number of months on official busi
ness, returned today on the S. S.
Yukon.
WAS JESUS CHRIST REFORMER?
The church is criticised, here and
there, today because of her attitude
toward public questions; and the
question is frequently asked, “Why
doesn’t the church let political mat
ters alone, and preach the Gospel as
Jesus Chrise and his Apostles did?”
The sermon at the local Methodist
church Sunday morning will deal
with this question; and the minister
will endeavor to show what the at
titude of Jesus Christ was in refer
ence to such matters; and what like
ly would be His attitude today. If
you are really interested in this im
portant question, come and worship
with us, and lets see if we can not
reach a correct conclusion. The
hour of service will be 11:30 a. m.
Sunday school at 12:45 p. m.
Visitors always receive a cordial
welcome at our church.
