Rhoades, new commissioner of Indian affairs, is charged with the gigantic task of putting 350,000 red men on “their feet.” It is the aim of Secretary Wilbur to take them out of government care and make them self supporting. Not since Franklin K. Lane was secretary of the interior, has there been such a drastic change in the administration attitude toward the Indians. They were given free rein at that time and many, by unwise business moves, went into bankruptcy. With the new commissioner on the job, the work of getting the Indian out in the world and “on his own” will be pushed. Much has already been accom- plished in that direction. Last year the Indians of the 200 tribes scattered over the country earned $1,267816 by the sale of blankets, baskets, beads, wood carvings, paint- 3 | ings and other arts and industries. | To enlarge the market for In-| dian handiwork further a trade mark design to be registered in the | Heat by Swimming | - Fifteen drowned in and BUDAPE: persens weré DAWES CALLS ON KING GEORGE NEA(| A B AN GENTER OF OLD TIME STAMPEDE Prospectors Are Crowding Into New Taku Mining District in Numbers The m¢ ment of prospectors to the recently discovered mining dis- trict in the River country and the centralization of interest in the premises have caused people to recall the old stampede days. Juneau has ag; i on the roll of an outfitting point for pres- pectors.

Those who are not going themselves, are wiring for miners’ permits and grub-staking prospectors. Mr. Strong has been busy taking in tons of freight, and capacity loads of passengers and others have gone into the district on the Alas- ka-Washington Airways seaplane Ketchikan and Juneau. Mr. Strong plans to leave Juneau for the Taku River every three days with pas. sengers and supplies. He will leave tonight with several hundred tons of freight and a crew of men from the Alaska-Juneau who will work Big Bull Mining claims recent- discovered by Vie Manville. ‘here is more activity up the River than there is in Juneau. People are going in every day and more plan to come. I think there is no question but that there will be some very valuable property discovered, in fact several fine look- in, rospects have already shown up,” Bill Strong declared. Looks Good Pat Lynch, of Lynch Brotners, Seattle, the diamond drill firm, which is doing the drliling on the Tulsequah property for the United Eastern Mining Company, said things at that property look splen- did. Ore is showing up to a depth of several hundred feet and the whole aspect is very satisfactory. “Estimating conservatively, I would ¢ that there are at least two d n camps up the river with other men waiting at the mouth for boats to take them up. The Taku country in general looks very good from the prospecting aspect, though 2s yet there has been little actual prospecting done,” Mr. Lynch said. “I would not be surprised to see several good properties developed in the Taku district,” he said. Mr. Lynch plans to leave soon for the south but will return to the Tul- sequah claims later in the season.

PARIS, July 22—Beauty—the kind that comes in bottles and boxes— is becoming too dangerous to suit the government, and the Ministry of Hyglene is going after the ir- I responsible “Beauty Institutes.” - Face, hair and body of woman, Dr. Frederick Bordas, eminent cian and the government's ex- pert in the matter, all are being abused. He asserts the threat to health is serious, and the damage jalready done proves there must be 'immediate action. New York with |its unlicensed beauty shops is held up as a horrible example. Poison, says Dr. Bordas, is in many cosmetics, and his solution is the plain labelling of all lotions, \creams and pastes so that strict 'enforcement of the law and public ‘opinion can weed out the bad.
