Vaccination of Natives.

In the last thirteen months 1000 natives along the coast of Alaska have been vaccinated as a preven- tive of smallpox by the surgeon of the revenue cutter Rush, and it is believed that prompt action and the thoroughness with which the duty was executed had the effect of effectively keeping that scourge out of southeastern Alaska with the exception of few cases on Hoonah island, which were quickly sub dued, the disease has failed to make its appearance, though the previous year it ragged with great severity among almost all the ma tive population along the coast for d thousand miles.
 The Rush will continue her cruise in southeastern Alaska waters, and the vaccination of the natives will during the coming season be part of her duties. Something over 1000 vaccine points have been re- ceived for the work.

The Alaska prospector., 1902-05-29

INDUSTRY. IS Us u
 mines. Second in importance at the present time is its great salmon fisheries. Resi- dents of Alaska, who have been at all familiar with the manner in which the fish have been taken from the streams by the fishermen, have had grave fears of the pros pect of the Alaskan rivers being depleted of their salmon in few years if severe measures were not taken for their protection. The Governor in his reports, and the special commissioner sent here. have urged upon the government, the advisability of protecting this industry.
 A bill has just been introduced m Congress to encourage salmon culture in Alaska, and for the pro- tection of parties engaged in the artificial production thereof, and if this bill becomes a law it may en- courage the artificial propagation of salmon.
 The importance of the salmon industry may be gleaned from the report of Col. H. NJ. Kutchin, the special agent of the Treasury De- partment, which he has kindly sent us.
 During the year 1901 there were thirty firms and corporations en- gagged in this business, operating 55 cannneries and 12 salteries. These represent capitalization of $22,3l3,2OO. They have invested in these plants $4,915,OOO. The Alaska Packers Association have invested in their plants g., 300 ,OOO. Last year they packed 95S,f41 cases and 2,8S3 barrels of salmon, valued at $3,212,940. The Pacific Packing X Navigation Co.,, have $l ,243, 900 invested in their plants and last year turned out 656, ,S6l cases and POS barrels valued at $2,114,62S. The product of the other canneries was about 46, 700 cases worth $l63,45O.
 During the last year these can neries and salteries handled 31 $40, 9SO salmon, turning out 2,O76,66l cases of salmon, each case contain ing four dozen one pound cans of fish; + ,S37 barrels and 1912 half barrels of salted salmon, represent ing a total market value of $6, ,926,- 161.
 The license taxes paid the gov ernment on this product was $S1 ,- 622.95. The Packers Association pays $3S,b24.3l of this amount, and the Packing Company pays &31 ,2O6.6O.

ing vessels. and IF. lighters and small boats. valued at about $2,- OOO,OOO. The fishing plants con sist of 51 traps, 3l11 seines and 1492 gill nets. There was paid in wages about $2,32O.625. There were II, ,636 men employed, of whom 4.5S4 were whites, 4,664 Chinamcn and 2,3SS natives. These canner- ies would all employ more natives, but very few of them can be de- pended upon to do any work.
 These figures show the magni- ute of the industry. The govern ment should protect and foster it and strictly enforce the laws for the protection of the fish, and guard against the depletion of the streams. Notwithstanding the heavy drain of the past few years on the fishing streams, the industry is steadily increasing. But it is question how long it will increase, if the government does not establish hatcheries, or protect those who do.
 ANOTHER term of the United States district court has convened at Juneau, and Valdez, Sunrise. Hope, Unga, Illiamna, Ellamar, Homer and several other mining centers and towns of western Alaska have not been represented on either the grand or petit jury. Our people who have any litigation are still compelled to travel from 400 to 800 miles to attend court. at Il large loss of time and money. and we understand that there will be no session of the district court at Val dez or other western town this sum- mer. It Is great way the govern ment and it's officials have of dis pensing justice" in Alaska.
 PROF. C. C. Georgeson, of the Az ricultural Department, in q letter to the editor of the PRoSprCroR says that he intends to locate an experi- ment station somewhere in the Copper river country this summer. but cannot speak with certainty vet, as he has not heard from the appropriation. The station will probably be located near Copper Center.

gone. This is indeed the glad
some season of the year. and
as most of the readers of the
MESSENGER have been prosper
Gus this year they should do all
in their power to make glad the

God has given us abundant

citation better than by giving
to His less fortunate children a
part of our gain. Money being
the leaver which lifts most of
our earthly burdens. we would
advise everyone to pay, so far
as may be in your power, the
debts you owe, SO that those
dependent upon the payment of
such debts for their sustenance
will not be disappointed, and
will be able by your thought
fulness to enjoy their Christ
mas.
The editors of the MESSENGER
wish all of you a MERRY
CHRISTMAS and hope it will
prove the brightest and best
one you have ever enjoyed. In

receive" The good book tells
you this. and you will always
find it right.

THERE is much satisfaction
among the democrats i'm Wash
ington over the failure of Rep
resentative Taylor of Michigan.
to promote a contest of the
election of Representative Car
ter Glass, of the Sixth Virginia
district. In connection with
this failure. there is consider
ably urwritten history. The
contest was intended to involve
the constitutions of all those
States which have adopted laws
which virtually exclude the
negro vote. Mr.. Taylor, who
has to rely largely on the negro
vote for his support at home,
saw an opportunity to further
his own ends and the cause of
the Crumpacker resolution and
seized it. His resolution was
referred to Committee on Elec-
tions No. |, and there met its
Waterloo. There is a growing
sentiment among those north
ern republicans, who are not
dependent on negro votes for
election to Congress, that the
Southern States had better be
left to work out their own sal
walton, and the other members
of the Committee refused to
champion the cause of Mr..
Taylor. The action is of nation
al significance, for the reason
that it is a forerunner of the de-
feat that awaits any attempt of
Judge Crumpacker to call up
his resolution. 1t is also known
that Representative Cannon is
hostile to interference with the
Southern States. He has said
that ''the republican party
never attempted to interfere
with the Southern voting laws
without going down to defeat"
and it is believed that there is
little likelihood of interference
while he is Speaker.
