Foley, Welch & Stewart will secure a good part of the work owing to their experience in es- timating for and reputation for carrying out the work, Clearing Contract Let The Ideal Provision House, phone 190, Today Mr. Vernor W, Smith mentioned that the contract for Aldermere. the clearing of the first fifty miles east of Aldermere has been awarded to M. Sheady & Co. Operations have been started and is being pressed on with all speed. The contract represents about $60,- 000, Mr. Sheady himself is ex- pected in Prince Rupert on Thurs- day. With this work in hands becomes a certainty that the ac- tual grading will be contracted for shortly. Supply Question it in on theat 415 mil stretch is a big one. It means horses and more horses all the time. While supplies for a few station gangs clearing ground are easily handled by the men themselves from Telkwa and Sealey the supplying of large gangs is quite another matter.

The first white visitor, who spent more time than others who merely traded with the In- dians, was the Rev. W. Duncan, a former missionary of the Anglcan Church. He visited the camps, scattered over the East and West coast of Graham Island, bringing to the natives tidings of a ‘‘prom- ised land”’ where ‘‘peace and good- will’’ are attainable to all races of men no matter their condition or color. There, on the wave- washed shores, Rev. Mr. Duncan found the remnant of a _ once powerful nation, a nation feared by all other tribes and still one of the most robust of the fast- disappearing race.

Every male child was trained in the art of war, and tribute in slaves and treasures of skins of the wild animals were levied on the sur- rourdirg Indian tribes.

Indian Customs It was their custom to place the bodies of their dead on the top of spruce trees, which had been sawed off, about ten feet above the ground. There the skeletons of ° past generations can be seen today, in the grass-grown, deserted camps along the shores. In some places the totem poles, and other marks of habitation, can be seen for many miles, while, in the in- terior of the islands, no evidence can be found of their leaving the coast line.
