FIRST ISSUE OF '"THE NEW
NATIVE" MAKES ITS BOW
The Progressive-Miner was agree
ably surprised to receive yesterday
two copies of tbe new publication,
"THE NEW NATIVE" edited and
published entirely by the native
class in Journalism at the Hydaburg
Government school for natives, un
der the supervision of Mr. Marius T.
Hausome, Principal.
Th© new paper wag issued und'er
date of January 16, and is of four
pages five columns, of local ar
ticles of interest, items about local
(personages and places; essays and
compositions by the pupils them
selves on many topics. In explain
ing the mission of the "NEW NA
TIVE" editorially, Mr. Hansom©
says: "The NEW NATIVE makes
its journalistic debut with this num
ber. The name was chosen for
the reason that the natives of
Hydaburg are no longer the natives
of 20 years ago. They have for
saken the belief in totemism and
other antiquated customs and em
braced the fruit of civilization.
The N'ew Native is owned by the
Hydaburg Trading Company, a co
operative concern that does an an
nual busiuess of $55,000. It is set
up and printed by the upper gradeB
in school a$ part of their English
and Industrial education. Our
equipment of body type is very lim
ited, hence the checkered dress.
"In the next issue will appear
the firsl chapter in a series on
progress of the Hydas.
"We shall be glad to have other
natives send in news for publica
tion and receive subscriptions.
"Wnen the printing class has ac
quired a great degree of rapidity
in typesetting, we hope to come out
weekly. Until then It wll^be twice
monthly. *
The Hydas are a forward looking
people and constantly aspire to cul
ture ?nd achievements. To give voice
to these higher aspirations, is the
mission or the N'ew Native—Ketchi

IX THE PAST VEAHJ
Wi'h tile passing of the
Cross order to "cease knitting,' is
disclosed tho astonishing record of
one Ketchikan woman, Mrs. John
Lhote, who, in the past year has
hand knit 65 regulation Red Cross
sleeveless sweaters for the Ketchi
kan Red Cross Chapter.
Mrs. Lhote turned in her 65th
sweater this week, when the work
era in charge in checking up her
record! were astounded at the
work sbe has accomplished.
That Wrangell has had far less
of the flu than some other places |
is evidenced by the fact that the
Moose lodge in the little town of
Redding, calif:, has already paid
out over $1,100 in sick benefits
since the flue epidemic struck
that section. The three Wrangell
lodges combined have paid out
less than ?100 in flu benefits. —

CHEATER PATRONS JOIN'
IX PROTEST AGAINST
PROPOSED TAX RAISE
Omaha, Feb. 6. — Theater man
agers are actively participating in
the campaign of protest againftt
the increased tax on theater tickets.
For the last three days petitions
have been passed among the au
diences assembled in the theaters,
90 per cent of which are said to
be signed, asking that the tax be
made no higher than it Is at present.
The present rate i» 10 per cent;
th* proposed rate is 20 per cent.
T e national association has Pro
tested at Washington, and has been
referred; to Chairman Kitchin of
the house ways and1 means commit
tee, who remains obdurate In his
pos'tian.
Theater managers point out that
the tax will defeat itself by so re
ducing attendance that many will
ave to close. Under the proposed
la. the prewar price of a first
class show jumps from $2 to $2.40,
or 20 cents more than is now paid.
Lower priced tickets are pro
portionately advanced down to tick
eta costing 30 cents or under, on
which tne 10 per cent tax is re
tained.
The issue is assuming large pro
portions at Washington, where con"
gressmen are receiving thousands of I
messages of protest from theater
patrons.
