Wo have received the sad news of
the death of one of our former girls,
Nida Calugan, who died at Meta
ItHtla April 15. Nida came to the
Oiphnage in 1903, and at the age of
IN, in 1911, she entered Cushman
Indian School. She was there nearly
three yeais when she married George
Seott and went to Meiakntla, his
home to live. Nida was a member
of our church and died trusting
in her Saviour.
I lorn Miller is having her turn in
learning hr cook under Miss Cla sen’s
instruction. Dora takes hold of this
work with genuine enthusiasm.
This issue ot our piper has been
greatly delayed because both the stock
on which to print it, and the envel
ops in which to mail it tailed to arrive,
and when they did come we were too
greatly rushed with outside work to
do anything in the print shop.
Two of our boys became of age in
April. Mike Chabituoy on the 6th
ami W i .lie Kobeitsi n on the 9th. A
party was given to celebrate the «
vwut, at which our young people had a
very pleasant time. Mike sailed on the
Dora the latter part of the month for
baud Point, where his father livesand

remains at the Orpahnage as the
Superintendent's assistant.
Through the kindness of friends in
New England it has been made
possible for us to purchase a stump
puller with which we have cleared
at least an acre of stumpage east of
the mission and adjacent to what was
known as “chersgory garden”.
This piece of laud will be planted
with kale and marrow cabbage for
fall feed for the cattle.
We have quite a tract of cleared
land under cultivation which lies
aloug the sea shore, but liud that
heavy winds uot only blow out the
seed but cover the laud with sand.
So it is now our purpose to clear
us much laud as we can baok Irom
the beach where it will be sheltered
by the trees. With the Kristin
stump puller two or three boys can
pull out from 12 to lb stumps in a
dav. We consider the machine a
very valuable addition to ourequip
meut.
