INTERIOR PEOPLE co
NORTH ON LAST BOAT

On the steamer City of Seattle,
which passed through this port yes
terday were several Fairbanks peo-
pie returning home after a sojourn
in the States, who visited friends
in Juneau while the vessel was
discharging cargo here.
Among them was E. A. Smith.
part owner of the smith McGlone
quartz mine on St Patrick's Creek
near Fairbanks. Mr.. Smith stated
Yesterday that during the winter a
crew working on the claim had un-
covered a nine-foot ledge showing
good values and it is planned to do
considerable work this summer. An
other old-time Fairbanksan aboard
the vessel was DR.. II. ]. McCallum,
a pioneer physician of the North.
Charles Hardin, who has business
interests on Dome Creek where good
pay was uncovered last winter
which is now being worked, was
another Fairbanks passenger. All
of them report things settling down
n the States bringing about con-
ditions which are causing many
people to prepare to come North.
They predict a large influx of peo-
pie to Alaska during the next few
months.

PRESBYTERIAN PICNIC
VOTED HUGE SUCCESS

The picnic of the Presbyterian
Bible School this week was the
most representative one ever held
by the school. Every department
was represented, from the very little
folks to the Bible Glass of adults.
The day was perfect and the posi-
bilities for pleasure at Salmon Creek
are the best.
Plenty of baskets arrived and
they were easily carried home. A
very thoughtful mother surprised
the children with ice cream cones
well filled; this was especially ap-
preciated not only by the children
but the committee on arrangements.
There was an abundance of red
lemonade, just the kind that moth
er used to make, with real grape
juice to make it good
The creek nearby gave the chill
dren an abundant opportunity for
throwing stones, wading, and some
proved that they had come to fall
in. However, no one was hurt dur
ing the day and all arrived home
glad that such good time could
be experienced in Alaska.
The committee wishes to thank
everyone who was so eager to assist
in multiplying the privileges of the
children, especially the merchants
who loaned their autos for trans
portaticn.

DR.. MCQUEEN TO TELL
OF WORK OF GENERAL
CONFERENCE SUNDAY

On next Sunday evening in the reg,
ular church service of the Methorist
Episcopal Church, the Rev. J. T.
Mcqueen will bring a message from
the Methodist Episcopal General con-
ference recently closed at Des Moines
Iowa.
DR.. Mcqueen was present at this
conference. which by the way, is the
largest body of church men and
women, that ever assembled for so
long a period. and from all parts of
the world.
Mr. Mcqueen will not only give his
hearers a glimpse of the workings
of the conference, and Methodism's
worldwide programme, but he will
also disclose to us some conditions
in the central west, which sounds
very much like a continuation of the
high cost of living, with a pos
sibility of that cost going still higher.
Never in the history of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. has she faced
the world with such worldwide
programme; a programme to meet
the needs of all races and conditions
In the world today He will also tell
his audience the action the confer
ence took on the amusement ques-
ton as to dancing. etc.
Talk this meeting among your
friends; Plan your Sunday so as
to be in the service. Every person
who comes will be amply repaid
for his time spent in this service.
for while the subject is particularly
interesting to the church, it will be
instructive and helpful to all.

HORNADAy REPUDIATED BY BIG
new YORK SPORTSMEN'S CLUBS
IN ALASKA GAME ACTIVITIES

Reputation of William r. Hornaday
of the most direct nature is contained
in letters recently received by Gov
Thomas Riggs, Jr., from three OF
the most noted sportsman organiza-
tons in the eastern section OF the
United States. In one OF these, writ
ten by George Bird Grinnell, Presl-
dent of the Boone and Crockett Club
of New York City, it is declared
that Dr. Hornadsy speaks for him
self alone and few sentimentalists,
mostly women and children.
Alaska and the preservation OF
Alaska game are. large subjects, and
to announce off-hand conclusions of
the game of this immense country
is task too great for most OF us,
declared Dr. Grinnell. He views
lightly the efforts being made by
4 Dir. Hornaday in the matter and says
! Alaskans are probably inclined to
! take them too seriously. 1T is fash'
ionable to lecture on the game OF
/ Alaska without much knowledge OF
the subject he writes.
/ William B. Greeley, prominent New
Yorker. and Chairman OF the Com
mittee on Conservation OF Wild Life
of the Camp Fire Club of America
declares that the organization is not
in accord with the views or Dr
d Hornaday. These, he informs Gov
Riggs. are in. no-wise binding upon
the Camp Fire Club nor the Com
mittee on the Conservation OF Wild
Life. Madison Grant, another fam
Gus New York sportsman, and chair
man of the Executive Committee OF
! the New York Geological Society
likewise declares that Mr. Horna
DAYS statements are mot in any way
to be considered the opinion of the
New York Geological Society" ia.
Governor Protests
All of the above mentioned let
ters are in answer to protests written
by Gov. Riggs, shortly after he re
ceived copies of DR.. Hornaday's prop
uganda in connection with a new
game law for Alaska. In these let
ters, the Governor called attention
to misstatements made by the author
andn protested strongly against un
j warranted interference in Alaska al
! fairs. DR.. Grinnell's letter in reply
! is reprinted herewith in full, together
with pertinent extracts from the
other two responses.
The Alaska daily empire., 1920-06-11
DR.. Grinnel's Letter
March 8, 1920.

Dear Mr. Riggs;
received DR.. Hornaday's red
pamphlet some time before your let
ter of March 4th, but did not read
It until after your letter came.
The pamphlet is issued independ-
emily by DR.. Hornaday's Wild Life
Fund. l suppose that no one except
himself knew what it contained nor
that it was coming out, until he
distributed it. Certainly 1.-The state
ments and mis-statements of DR..
Hornaday" do not represent the
views of the Boone and Crockett
Club, nor any other organization
with which l am acquainted. Alas
ka and the preservation of Alaska
game are large subjects, and to an
nounce off-hand conclusions about
the game of this immense Territory
is task too great for most of us.
There was time when nine
tenths of the people in the East
thought of the West as a place and
did not realize that it was terri
tory a thousand miles north and
south by fifteen HuuuTeo east anu
west. Today most people think OF
Alaska something in the same way
To them it is definite place. They
do not realize it's immensely, or the
diversity of conditions existing with
in it.
am sorry that you and some
other people take DR.. Hornaday's
views so seriously. He is often
abusive and irritating, but | sus-
pect the wise thing to do is to ig-
more what he says and writes. 1t is
fashionable you know to lecture on
the game of Alaska without much
knowledge of the subject.
DR.. Hornaday represents himself
and a proportion of the sentimen-
talists of the country, most of whom
are women and children. Do not
regard him too solemnly.
Yours very truly,
(Signed)
GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL.
