Whenever Yellow Thunder was
angry or came home under the influ-
ence of liquor, he was a rather danger
Gus man. When in this condition,
the young Indians would oyerpower
him and, placing him on his back on
the ground, they would stretch his
arms and limbs out straight, fasten-
ing them to ground driven pegs
by means of buckskin thongs. In this
position Yellow Thunder would be
left for some time, or until he s'cOoled

When the time arrived for planting
crops Yellow Thunder invited many
of the neighbors to come and help
him. He hired father with his OK
team to pillow his land. Mrs. Yellow
Thunder prepared the dinner which
consisted of mixture of flour and
water baked in skillet and nice
fried fish. 1t was good.
Much of Yellow ThunderS ability
as a warrior was shown when he re

NEW LAW BARS
 TIlLAMOOk FROM TRADE
American Vessel Owned and Operated by Crank Trunk
 Not Eligible. in Traffic.

The Department of Comerce in a recent ruling in the case of the Grand Trunk Pacaific and the Alaska Steamship Company has held that the motorboat Tillamook, which has been operating in waters of South eastern Alaska as feeder for the Crank Trunk, cannot engage in the American coastwise trade.
 The Tillamook is an American built boat, 119 feet in length with 28 feet beam, and was launched at North Bend, Oregon, in 1911. She was purchased by the Grand Trunk about three years ago, and sent to Alaska to run between Prince Rup- ert and American ports in Alaska Capt. Edward Thornton. of Juneau has been her master. She has been an important factor in Alaska trade, running from Alaskan ports, can neries, etc., and taking freight mostly fish. and passengers to Prince Rupert for transportation east over the Grand Trunk Pacific The Tillamook was recently at Jul neau undergoing inspection.
 A letter from the Department of Commerce to the Collector of Gus toms at Seattle, says:
 ''ln the case of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Alaska Steamship Com pany. it is understood that the steamer' Tillamook is operating be- tween your district and ports of Alaska and in the foreign trade. The company is capitalized for $50, ,O0O represented by 800 shares of which 495 shares are owned by the Grand Trunk Pacific Dock Company, Q do- mestic corporation the majority of which stock is alien owned.
 Tt is clear that under the pro- visions of sections 27 and 3S of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920 this yes sel cannot engage in the trade with Alaska. The question whether she can engage in the foreign trade need not be given consideration at the present time."

CUSTOMS EMPLOYEES
 ARE GIVEN INCREASE

Word has been received at the Juneau Customs House that the Sec retary of the Treasury has granted a request for the raise of the salar- ies of employees of the United States Customs Service in Alaska. While the amount of increase asked for was not granted, there has been a raise for all those in the service whose salaries are less than $2,50O year. The increase was about ' F per cent, and amounts to from $10C to $200 year for each person in the service.
 The Collector of Customs fol Alaska took the question of an in crease in salaries up with the De partment year ago, and has fol lowed it up since that time.

NOTED VISITOR
 PRAISES ALASKA
Impression of Territory as He Sees Is Given by
 James H. Begg.

Alaska, %ith it's magnificent dis tances, mountains that touch the sky, great sheets of water that stretch from horizon to horizon. streams for ever winding seaward from blue mountain lakes.-this Alaska is the most wonderful scenery I have ever seen, and have travelled much, so James Howarth Begg, Most Wor- shipful Grand Master of the Grand Masonic Lodge of Washington and Alaska mildly praised the Northern empire.
 Like Freddy. Mr Begg is ice- lighted with Alaska and with the reople here. But his heart is touched by the tragedies of the North-the wrecks of ships ne has seen, some accidents. others -ansed by corporate greed and towns which might have been cities. These trag- edies of Alaska are the result, he feels of policy of bureaucracy which has paralyZed the Territory in it's every move and it's every wish. He added that this was h's private opinion publicly expressed.
 This is not the first time MT Begg has been in Alaska. Thirty years ago-he was not NJ w q VI. then. but a member of the Do. minion Government indian Reserva tion Service-he landed on the Skeena River in British Columbia and went up to the head o. the Mass River in small boat, then he worked over to Metlakatla on Ann cite Island, where Father Duncan I had established his community ol | natives. This was a prodigious jour ney. MT. Begg thought at the time And indeed it was, for the .7lp was made in small 9boat. and fol months, a roof of canvas and q roi | of blankets made the home of the future Most Worshipful Grand Mas | ter.
 When he reached Anchorage few weeks ago, Mr Begg said he realized just how extensive this Northland is and what wee bit O i it he had explored on his journe, thirty years ago
 | He has been making the most O his tour along the coast, has Mir
 Begg. Where there are mountain
 streams, he has fished, and where there are glaciers, he has visited them. He has seen mines and can
 neries, to say nothing of the Masonic
 Lodges he has officially visited.
 Although until now. Alaska has
 been sighted by Masons of the rank
 of Mr. Begg, Mir. Begg has come
 he has seen Alaska. and Alaska has
 conquered him, heart and soul.

CLEVER WORK Mo!|R! IN
 SAVING SCAND|A
Captain Mornas Brings Boat In Port for First Trip
 Since Wreck This Spring.

On her first trip to Alaska after halibut after having been wrecked early this spring in Prince William Sound. the halibut schooner Scandia was in port today with small cargo of halibat caught in the vicinity of Kodiak Island. Not being able to dispose of the fish on account of the uncertainty of the sailing of a boat for the south, the Scandia proceeded to Prince Rupert.
 The Scandia, which is seven dory boat capable of carrying c1rgo of
 over 1O0.0 900 pounds of fish. belonging
 to the National Independent Fisher
 les Company and is operated on
 shares by fishermen under Capt. A
 Mornas. piled up on a reef in Prince
 William Sound early this spring
 and at first was thought to be d
 total loss. No less than fourteen
 holes were stove in the boat by
 pounding on the rocks The crew
 set to work to accomplish the almost impossible task of salvaging the yes
 sel and finally succeeded in doing so.
 Three cables were placed under the
 vessel and with the aid of a scow
 on one side and gas boat on the other the vessel was lifted from the
 bottom and lowed distance of two miles and half while submerged.
 After being beached on sandy beach the crew picked up planking from the beach and patched mp the holes and proceeded to Seattle under their own power So badly was the
 boat battered that when she was in
 ,lry dock the repairs cost as much 9s the total cost of the boat when she was first constructed Getting
 out of dry dock a short time ago the boat left on her first trip again
 to the fishing banks but found the
 halibut quite scarce
 Capt. Mornas said today that the fishing was poor and not getting very good catch he could not keep the fish any longe rand thought he would run in to Juneau with them and go right back to the banks. He was disappointed in not, being able to sell here as he said it cost a cent and half a pound more to run tc Prince Rupert or Ketchikan with l them. He said that the need of 6
 cold storage plant on Gastineau Channel was very acute.
