LAND QUESTION
 DISCUSSED BY
 BROTHERHOOD

One of the subjects discussed at the meeting last week at Wrangell of the Alaska Brotherhood was the question of Indian land titles A let ter was read from the land office at Washington saying "the Indians shall not be disturbed in the posses sion of their land, but the terms under which they might acquire title to their lands is reserved for future legislation by congress-"
 No laws have yet been passed cov- ering this reservation for Alaskans and the homestead laws have been extended to the Indians under the laws of 1906. The case of the Unit ed States vs. Berrigan affirms that Indians are wards of the government who must protect him and his prop erty. This case decided that any contract to sell land by any Indian is void and of no effect
 Vim. L. Uaul urged the brother hood to go into politics and advocate the following law by congress: "That the natives of Alaska are now de- clared to have all the rights, privi- leges and duties for full citizenship of these United States"
 Louis F. Paul recalled the mistake made by Wrangell natives, who un- der the advice of designing men, petitioned to remain Indians. Sitka was urged to stand on their rights of citizenship and demand title to their land.
 Peter Simpson related three per sonal experiences pending alike. He migrated from British Columbia with Father Duncan to secure the right to own his own home. He landed with Father Duncan on reservation and moved to Ketchikan and built a saw mill, and was told that since he was an Indian he was not entitled to a millsite He went to Sitka and finds himself on a reservation and knows not whither to go to escape the reservation and own his home.
 Frank Desmond concluded the dis cussion by contrasting the answer of the natives in the great war where the native offered his country his very life, while the government re- fused him the right to own land. The native was good enough to die for his country, but not good enough to buy and own a plot of ground where he might be buried.

BIG INCREASE
 IMMIGRATION
 INTO CANADA

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 1 (by As sociated Press) It is estimated that the immigration movement into Canada for the present fiscal year will approximate 100000 the newcom- CTS being very largely from Great Britain and the United States.
 The high water mark in Canadian immigration was reached in 1913, when 3,436 persons entered the do- minion.
 For the first six months of the present fiscal year Canada's immi- grants numbered 95,005, an increase of 3S per cent over the movement for the corresponding period last year. In the matter of origin they were divided as follows: Britain 52,- 76S; United States 3O,763; others 11,474.
 At present the dominion is receiv- ing a considerable influx of Polish Jews. These are being examined and must comply absolutely with the regulations before being permitted to come in. Many are being sent back.

NIGHT RIDING IS OPPOSED IN
 SOUTH STATE

i LITTLE ROCK, Dec. 1 (by Asso cis ed Press). - Responsible sentl i me1t in this state is running strong ! ly against night riding which has 1 been undertaken in this and other i cotton growing states to prevent the ginning marketing of cotton at the | preset low price. Representative planters, bankers and business men feet strongly that this lawlessness is giving the south black eye" At recent meeting of the Ar kansas division of the American Cotton Association here, nightriding was condemned as an act of gross ignorance. Gov. Brough has taken vogorous stand against night rid ing and he has had further SUD- port, among others, from Claude Fitzpatrick, president of the Ar kansas Bankers Association. All the forces of the state and local govern ments in Arkansas are now co-operat- ing to prevent further lawlessness in the cotton ginning centers.
 This counter movement is believed to be doing much to step the activi- ties of night riders. Mass meetings have been held in many towns and the cooperation of the citizens has been proffered officers in maintain ing order.
 Acts of violence for which night riders have been given credit in Arkansas have taken various forms. In addition to the burning of gins, warehouses and other property. farmers who attempted to market their cotton have been threatened with death or severe punishment, and in some cases have been badly mal- treated. Negro families have been intimidated and driven from their homes because they sought employ ment or worked as cotton pickers Hundreds of cotton gins in various sections of the state have been post ed with warnings against continuing to buy and gin cotton, the threatened penalties for not needing the warn ing including destruction of the plants and forfeiture of the lives of the owners.
 In one country eight men now are awaiting action of the grand jury on a charge of setting fire to a ginnery and in another section of the state three white farmers have been sen fenced to a years Imprisonment and assessed heavy fines for intimida- tion of negro cotton pickers.

DEATH RATE MUCH LOWER
 IN PAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 The census bureaus annual bulletin on mortality statistics for the death registration area in continental United States, which will be issued shortly, shows 1,O95,436 deaths as having occurred in 1919. This rep resents a rate of 12.9 per 1000 popu- lation, and is the lowest rate record ed in any year since the establish ment of the registration area. The rate for 1919 is in striking contrast with the unusually high rate for 1918 due to the epidemic of influenza, which was IS per 1,000 This is drop of 3.1 per 1000 popu- lation.
 The death registration area in 1919 comprised 33 states, the Dis trict of Columbia and IS registration cities in non-registration states, with total estimated population of 85,- 147,822, or S1.1 per cent of the esti- mated population of the United States. The states of Delaware, Flor ida and Mississippi were added to the area in 1919 and Nebraska in 1920, so that now the only states not in the area are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Ne va6a, New Mexico, North Dakota Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming. The Territory of Hawaii is part of the registration area, but the figures given in this summary relate only to the area in continental United States.

meet you, I'm sure
You may be right, replied the Wiz
ard, but We're little particular about
asSOCiating with strangers. Will you
kindly tell us which way your mother
went to get on top the earth?"
That Is not a fair question to ask
us, declared another dragonette. For
If we told you truly you might escape
us altogether; and if we told you an I'M
truth we would be naughty and deserve
to be punished"
Then" decided Dorothy, I'VE must
find our way out the best we can"
They circled all around the cavern,
keeping a good distance away from the
blinking yellow eyes Of the dragonettes
and presently discovered that there were
two paths leading from the wall OPP
posite to the place where they had en-
tered. They selected one of these at
a venture and hurried along it as fast
as they could go, for they had no idea
when the mother dragon would be back
and were very anxious not to make her
acquaintance
