Alaska sentinel., 1902-12-25

Under the heading "Wrangell- Not a mere memory of Historic Past" the Skaguay Daily Alaskan remarks: "Wrangell need no lon ger be conceived to be a historic graveyard, interesting only for the glamored memories of the Russian occupation, the Cassiarers, her in teresting totem poles and weird rancherie, for there is an interest ing weekly paper published down there that will tell to the world a far different story. The current SENTINEL of that town makes a splendid showing of live business advertisements, and it chronicles the-fact that at Wrangell there is a sawmill that cuts more and bet ter lumber than any other mill in Alaska. There is an active cham Der of commerce in the town, an average attendance of fl pupils at the schools, churches, religious so- cial and fraternal societies, and the job office of the SENTINEL is run ming a night and day shift to keep up with it's orders. But if it were not for the SENTINEL, few people would conceive that Wrangell was alive, and the people of that town should all exert themselves to make their bright sheet reach far and near"
 On behalf of our town and its business interests, please accept our thanks for your kind notice of us all. And in this connection let us advise our brother of the Alaskan that, judging iron the disposition of, not only this town but this en- tire section of southeastern Alaska, the SENTINEL is no experiment. but fixed fact. The paper has grown only in proportion as the business in all its branches has increased; :; and for this the publisher does not claim the credit which is due to the business interests that have made it possible. Wrangell is not the sleepy old town that "she used to was"

Under the heading "New Ray of Hope," the P.-I. says that a com mission is to be sent out from Washington to investigate the Alas kan fish laws, and commenting on the subject says: The first objection to the present law made by the in- dependent canneries is that they are required to maintain hatcheries from which every year they must take and place in the streams of the North ten fry for every salmon talk en from Alaskan waters, whether it be for salting or canning purposes. This they maintain they will be un- able to do, and urge that the gov ernment maintain, from the tax collected on the salmon business in Alaska, one or more hatcheries, sufficient to keep the fish propagat- ed. Another objection is that the streams of the district have been ordered closed to July 1. In these streams the canneries get all their red pack, and to close them until July 1, they say, will mean the cutting off of one-half of their red pack which they can ill afford to lose.
 Mayor Irving of Ketchikan was recently arrested at Juneau, charg- ed with tampering with a jury in some matter. He has been releas- ed, however, and it is probable the case will be dropped, as it is tho't there was no intention to do wrong on the part of MT. Irving.
 There was Christmas tree at the Peniel Mission, Monday evening. It would have cost but little-the mere furnishing the informatlon-to have had the fact properly announce ed through the SENTINEL so that the public would have known it in ad- vance.

D,.,nieI MASON of.Atbfns, a N


Daniel Mason of Athens, a man con-
silera iJiy .demented. was brought to the
police headquarters, yesterday. from
-fAe vicinity Of the River road, where
he. had been lingering for several days.
The. old gentleman not far from 80
years of age, seemed unable to- give
any account Of himself, but after con-
siderable gtelephouing. Overseer; Of the
Poor Colburn finally obtained Informal
ton from Athense Which threw some
light or the mans past. 1t was ascer-
tanned that he ESCAPED from there q
number OF days ago and all trace OF
him had been lost. He is a harmless
old fellow, and In a very weakened
condition. His whole thought seems
to be the fear Of doing some harm and
during his stay at the station he won't
do the slightest thing without first ask
ing permission. He won t even lie dowr
for fear that some harm will overcome
him or that something will go wrong
during sleep. When he arrived, he said
he was not hungry. but he was given
a nice dinner and ate heartily, indicat-
ing that he had been practically with
out food for some time. He Is very
carefully cared for. and will doubtless
,,, taken to the asylum as soon as the
necessary papers can be obtained from
Athens. ~

IT'S ROOT OF ALL EVIL

BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE
IT'S ROOT OF ALL EVIL

washington, Jan. Is-Secretary Root
was heard on the question OF the friar
lands in the Philippines before the house
committee on insular affairs today lie
said these land holdings constituted one
OF the chief causes OF the dlscontene
among the people they were the hoJoecs
OF Insurrection and had furnisher Aguin-
aldo his chief appeal TO popular pref
udice. The secretary said the religious
orders SO fully recognized the condition
OF affairs that they were disposed to
sell out. and he urged that the govern
ment take advantage OF the opportunity
70 remove the chief causes OF discomfort
in the islands. He did not believe con-
demnstion proceedings would be neces-
sary. "a there were indications that
fair price could be agreed upon 4 rough
estimate OF the value OF the lands, he
said, was from five 10 seven and oue-half
millions OF dollars. American money.
Secretary Root began his statement By
explaining the enormous power which the
religious orders had long exercised In
the Philippines. They were represented
at Madrid ard The archbishop was quite
as powerful as the governor general OF
planted the native priests. As & result,
OF the great political power Of the br-
ders, the friars became the medium OF
communication between the local par
ishes and the central government They
held large tracts CT the best land, amount
to about 10000 acres at the time OF Amer
lean occupation. The people rented the
lands and thus a landlord ard tenant
system was now in operation. This caused
intense hatred and Mr.. Root said the
feeling OF the tenant classes was not
equaIIed in bitterness by anything in Ire
land AguinaldO had taken advantage
OF the intense feeling OF the tenants
against the friar landlords and the move
ment was very popular. The secretary
said that about the most important thing
to be done at this time was 10 dispose
Of the friar question. as Il was felt that
when landed proprietorship was brought
70 an end most OF the agitation would
be disposed Of.
The friars had been driven from the
land in many cases. he said. ard II they
returned the people would kin them
Appeals had been made 20 the war de-
Qartrent 70 collect the rents due but
the secretary said this could not be done
without the use Of troops. Mr.. Root said
that no religious question was involved
as it was simply @ condition that existed
and was fully recognized The friars
themselves were so fully alive 70 the con-
ditions that they would doubtless be
ready to dispose Of their lands. 1t all
events. Mr. Root said. they were apart
OF an Organization. and he Appreciated
that the disposition OF the lands would
be determined by higher church suthori-
ties than the friars themselves.
