TRAP ROBBERS REPORTED BUSY
 AGAIN

The reports that fish traps are be- ing robbed again this year is mat ter that should receive the serious at tention of the authorities. Men who rob fish traps, like train and stage robbers, usually are prepared to take life it that should prove necessary to accomplish their purpose or to effect an escape should they be detected. Therefore not only are property rights involved in this traffic but hu man life is in jeopardy.
 There is exactly the same reason why the waters of Alaska should be freed of fish trap robbers as there was for ridding the plains of stage robbers and cattle thieves. People who invest their money in industry in AL. aska and pay taxes to the Territory and the Federal Government are en- titled to protection for themselves

and their employees if it is possible to accord protection.
 It ought not to be difficult to trace the guilty sources the perpetrators of fish piracy this year, because of the few people who are engaged in the salmon packing business. And, it might be added, that one purchasing salmon that he has reason to suspect has been stolen from fish traps is not without guilt.-Juneau Empire.

LET US DO YOUR JOBWORK
The Seward gateway., 1921-07-23

DILLINGHAM;, Alaska, June 12- An unprecedented situation has aris- 1 en here this season owing to the fact that the FiShemen's Union of San Francisco and the canneries have an agreement whereby the canneries can not take fish from anyone except the natives, who have not signed up with the canneries in the States and the Union is holding them to the contract making it very hard for the men liv- ing here, great many of them hay ing families. In case the canneries take the fish from others who have not signed for the season in the States, the canneries must pay to the Union fifty per cent additional to the price they have paid for all fish so bought. A great many of the men here belong to the Union and they are in the same boat as the others, as the Outside union members are appar ently discriminating against residents of Alaska. A great many of the fish ermen here are squaw men with fam flies and it is impossible for them
 to fish anywhere else, even if they could get away. It looks like there will be several cases of actual starva- tion here this winter. Some of the can neries have agreed to take the fish from them provided the union will sign an agreement not holding the company liable for the fifty per cent increase, but the union members will not agree to it saying that if these Alaskans cannot make a living here to get out.
 As this union is mostly composed or I. w. w. amid Bolsheviki with probab- ly not one-fourth of them having talk en out their citizenship papers, the cen sesus of opinion her is that it is not right they should be allowed to free the residents of Alaska out.
 The local men have wired the gov ernor in regard to the action of the Union but have received no answer to their telegrams.
 The local jail here has three prison CTS at the present time, one for man slaughter, one for assault and one for insanity.
 The cannelies here appear to have higher class of workmen this year than in former yeas, having more to select from in the states.
 The mail boat reached this port five days earlier this spring than it ever came before, and as residents were

HE ROBBED STORES
In POCOMOKE CITY
l3-Year-0ld Youth Arrested In Sal
isbury Admits He Robbed
Stores In Pocomoke City.

Some weeks ago, it will be remem-
bered, that several stores were rob-
bed in Pocomoke City, and at that
time this paper in giving an account
of the robbery threw out the hint that
ii was perpetrated by young boys,
some of whom probably were from
cur own town. The hint had been
passed along to us and we in turn
gave it to our readers, hoping that it
Nould have good effect upon certain
youths of our town.
1t turns out that we were not en-
tirely wrong in our surmises, as is
evidenced by Robert Wilkins, Jr., who
claims Laurel, Del, as his home, and
who was placed under arrest in Sal
isDury last week for burglary. He ad
mits that he took part in certain Po-
comoke City robberies and that he
had as an accomplice a Pocomoke
City lad, aged about II years old. We
reproduce the article giving an ac-
count of his arrest which is from the
Pen of a Salisbury correspondent to
the Baltimore Sun, at the same time
;,gain cautioning the parents of our
:own to be sure that they know where
their boys are after the going down
Of the sun. The article giving an ac-
count of the young mans arrest is as
follows:
"The robber who several nights ago
broke into Landlords sporting goods
store here and obtained guns and
ammunition valued at more than 5000
has been caught in the person of Rob-
crt Wilkins, Jr., of Laurel, Del, ac-
cording to the police.
"Williins, who is only 13 years of
age, made second attempt to break
into the same store Friday morning
about o'clock by smashing the glass
in the door. A policeman, who heard
the noise, arrested him. The store is
quite near the Police Station and off
GERS are passing it throughout the
night.
"Wilkins has been making his
home in. box in an alley here, it is
said, and, the police say, has confess
cd to several other robberies here and
at Pocomoke. In one of the robberies
here, that of Chatham's store, 70
which he confessed, he told of sleep
ing in the building until early next
morning, leaving before the proprie-
tor arrived.
"In the Landlord robbery he said
he had colored boy as an accom-
plice, but the police have been unable
to verify his statement. In the POGO
moke robberies a white boy, about IL
years old, was said to have aided him.
The goods taken from Pocomoke, he
says, he disposed Of in Delaware.
"The boy at present is in Jail await
ing hearing"

ATHLETE HERE TO
COACH P.H.S. BOYS
Mr.. Henry Martin, Of Cumberland,
Will Whip Boys Into Shape For
Coming Athletic Season.

Mr.. Henry Martin, of Cumberland.
arrived at Pocomoke on March 31st
10 assume his duties as athletic IN
structor of the Pocomoke High
School. Concerning Mr.. Martin one
of the Cumberland papers has the
following to say:
"Martin in showing off the local
SPORT map is leaving behind a recol3
that any athlete might well be proud
o. He has accomplished feats that
have. earned him a place in the sport
annals of ,Allegany County High
School to say nothing Of the vivid re-
membrance retained by A. c.. H. S.
opponents of the havoc his ability
played in their ranks on the gridiron
and basket ball court.
"While few athletes can turn to
any field and shine in every one, That
is exactly what Martin did in the
various branches of sport he took up,
football, basket ball and field events
As tackle of the champion A. C. H. 5.
elevens of 1917, '18 and. '19 he won
recognition as a star performer and
vas chosen each year as all-star man
on the mythical aggregation picked
in this section. He represented Ale
gany as a miller aid distance man and
performed creditably, holding his own
against the best IN this section"
Coach Martin is very much pleased
with the material which he has found
l.ore and has taken up his work with
a determination to make Pocomokc a
winner this year. A number of new
lnen are out for honors and one of the
most successful seasons is anticipated.
The County Field Day will be held
m Snow Hill on Friday April 22d.
