A BRIGHTER DAY FOR ALASKA FISHERMEN

This being the there should be adequate why Alaska Aaskans should reap their fair share the business It has never The Alaska fishermen have only the crumbs from the profits that have been taken out of Alaskan waters.

 PARKWAY TAHITI

A letter from far.away Tahiti, written by an Alaskan boy Chat Tclman. son of J. c. Tolman, game warden at Seward, Is full of interest, Young Tolman and Charles T. Hewitt (Fat went to Tahiti last october for the purpose of buying land on which to raise vanilla beans and copra. Their experiences are detailed in the Seward Gateway as follows: Have been here since the goth of Hast month sweltering in the most persistent heat I ever encountered. Lordy but it's hot! The trip down was ideal-there was hardly ripple on the water much to my joy.
 Arriving here we went right after the matter in hand Tauro Salmon, Ga native chief went with us to look at the land he had promised Fat ItI is the worse piece of land ever saw for the purpose It's situated in al narrow valley, is covered with bould- CTS, and is too high to raise vanilla. But the worst of it is that he was fool ing Fat. Vanilla and cocoanuts can. not be raised on the same ground,
 Then we went to look at another piece of ground, which we found to be greatly mlsrepresented by Salmon. He has the reputation here of being the greatest grafter on the island. We would probably have considered the property (ten acres, two in swamp two planted in vanilla and couple of hundred cocoanut trees), had not started quiet investigation among some of my English and American acoualntances. The result was nice Two acres planted in vanilla didn't belong to Salmon at all, and the re- mainder is in litigation in the French courts here. Nevertheless the white men here told me he would have sold us the land and then taken it away again. Believe me. this is some coun- try!
 Now we are looking again for a suitable place. That there is money in vanilla at the present time there isn't the least doubt What will hap. pen when the Mexican revolution ceases and the Mexicans put their vanilla on the market remains to be seen.
 don't think the outlook is very promising here. Fact is, don't think you'd like it. I'm sitting now on . porch, clad in my pajamas, and the sweat is pouring off me- It is 5:SO D. m. Yet they tell me that this is nice day. The thermometer here at the hotel is doped so that it won't go above so degrees They make out their prospectuses in that way, guess. It is almost sure death for a tenderfoot to so out in the sun. Hot! O Lord!
 This morning a Frenchman tried to sell me a plantation for $1OO,OOO. Just for fun I looked 1t up. found he didn't own it. That's the way it goes here.
 The cost of living here is very high and the standard very low, The mosquitoes are as thick as mud, and every time you so bathing you stand a chance of losing limb. The water is fine; the climate is rotten The women are not beautiful, as reported, save for a few half castes. Most of them are immoral to a degree, and the men are not better Consistent labor one can't get. A native will work CD a day then quit and get get drunk for a week Every white man I've spoken to warns both big and small investor away because of the labor problem, and the inability to get clear titles to land Yes, with

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION FOR NATIVES.

Henry Phillips former student of the Carlisle Indian school Eliminates the Indian question degree especially it's relation the illicit liquor traffic which has had always important bearing upon the welfare of the native peoples of America His point of well worth considering He says if the government will take the money that being spent abOrtve efforts suppress the liquor traffic with Indians and devote the proper education of those people the liquor ques ton will settle itself He eucdates his theme by stating that the natives of Kukwan proving their ability till the soil successfully and he adds sagey that successful farmers subject the drink habit Then he suggests that natives should be sent to Carlisle Chemawa for prop education from which, he thinks the greatest good would flow.
 He right to the failure of the to suppress the liquor traffic among the natives but this is not the fault of the government The desire stamp the traffic has been and and while the results achieved have been wholly successful they have acted deterrent to this eviLdoers
 The education of the Indian along industrial lines remely important matter If the natives taught to be seupporng they will become also selrespecting And the Carlisle student right when he says that successful farmer will give way the drink habit Neither will majority of those who have been schooed industrial work of other kinds provided that they find scope for their activities To F Indian education the rudments of education does not fit him to become useful himself to his people Train him ndustriy however and he has the foundation d for useful life And perhaps farming opens him the best field that be found for his usefulness Phillips intel gent and evidently has given thought to the ond Ons which hedge about his people; and therefore his views furnish food for reflection.

WAR OF CANAL RATES
NOW SEEMS LIKELY
British Strike First Blow by
Reducing Those on
Suez Waterway.

| Whether the British have already
struck the first blow in retaliation against
| the Panama canal legislation just enact
ed is a question which will confront the
maritime world almost Immediately An
/ insignificant notice published In The Star
and other American newspapers by the
directors of the Suez canal is already en-
gaging official attention. and may lead
to far-reaching results.
The little note conveys the information
that after the first of next year the tran
sit dues in the Suez canal will be reduced
fifty centimes, bringing the toll for loaded
ships down to 625 francs. This Is the
precise equivalent of the S1.25 maximum
tolls which the Panama canal act pre-
scribes for vessels passing through that
waterway.
Advises Lower Rates.
Prof Emory r. Johnson, whose ex-
haustive investigation of the financial as
pect of the Panama canal, as a special
commissioner for the War Department,
formed the basis for the action of the
congressional committee, in fixing the toll
rates on the canal. held that If the Pan
anna project was to be a success finan-
cially and commercially its tolls should
be lower than those of the Suez canal.
That was the basis that the Panama
route would secure at least a minor share
of the shipping moving between Europe
and the Pacific coast ports of Asia.
Even lower tolls at Panama, he held,
would not draw away from the Suez
canal a large part of the oriental trade
because of traffic opportunities, the price
of coal and other supplies which have
determining effect upon the selection of
routes. So altogether he held that 1t
would be well to assist the Panama route
by lower tolls than the SueZ route.
The question for the officials to deter
mine now Is whether the new American
project is already face to face with a
great rate war with it's eastern COM
petitor.
