Give the Natives a Chance

The natives of Alaska have voiced a dignified and unanswerable protest against the regulations which forbid them to engage in the business which they and their ancestors have followed from time immemorial, of taking fur seal in the open ocean, off shore. It is protest which should have some weight. and it is protest which could be made with equal force by the na- tives of this state living on the ocean shores.
 None of the coast tribes, either in Alaska or in this state, have ever asked or received bounties or annuities from the government of the United States. They have never asked or received dollar for their lands taken. They have been self lf-supporting, as no other aboriginal people within the limits of the United States have ever been. They have seen their primitive means of subsistence taken from them and they have endeavored, and with much success, to adapt themselves to new conditions; but they are forbidden, in some instances, to avail themselves of the new conditions.
 For example, from time immemerial the tribes living along the seacoast of this state have depended for large share of their subsistence upon their catch from the seal herd which passes along the coast on it's way to the breed- ing grounds on the PribiloV islands. Originally they hunted the seal in their canoes, going thirty miles off shore in 1 light dugouts and spearing seal with bone spears. Adopting white mems ways, the natives at Neah bay pur. chased and manned a number of schooners and hunted the seal In the open ocean from the schoOners and with firearms.
 In order to protect the monopoly of the lessees of the Pribilov islands, who butchered the seal ashore ln sanc- tuary, these Indians were forbidden to further engage in the sealing and their vessels were confscated, to their ! financial ruin.
 Now the Alaska natives are being treated in the same way; but, with bit ter irony, they are to be permitted to take seal only with the primitive weapons of the past, the bone harpoon or bow and arrow, weapons with the use of which they are no longer fami. liar. And all that they ask is permis' sion to earn their own living.-P..L

A countryman met him and learning of his "roll," told him it was unsafe to carry SO much money; to::give it to him, the newly found friend, in exchange for draft which he could have cashed at Skagway.

Agricultural Course for Min

State UniVgrS tV

An agricultural course for minis.
tiers is somewhat Of a novelty. but
such has been arranged at the Col
Iege of Agriculture, State University.
Ministers of all denominati tons are
to receive special instruction abso-
luteIy free.
The course will consist of both
laboratory work and lectures in
poultry raising, horticulture, field
crops, dairying, live stock industry
and pure foods. and will be held four
days, beginning Tuesday, June 9, at
the close of the regular work of the
school for the 1911.12 term.
The design of this work is to bet
ter acquaint the minister with the
agricultural conditions Of Kentucky
and also with methods for their i'm.
pTOVeueuIs nc CStdOnsuhuSub
this novel form of school is based on
the realization that the minister
has much influence in shaping the
thought of his community, not only
in things spiritual but in material
affairs.
1t is believed that, equipped with
the information this short course
will provide, the minister will be
able TO be more than ever a leader
in his community, and public bene-
factor.
The plan is being put into execu-
ton by the Division OF Extension,

letters have been sent BY him to
