 CLAIM THAT R|CCS' CHARGES

that the Bureau had grave doubts as to whether certain new regulations regarding the Chilkat and Chilkoot Rivers had not exceeded the scope of the hearing announced for streams less than 500 feet in width, and ac- cordingly instructions were issued to former employee in substance that the said regulations would not be enforced temporarily in order to permit of further investigation. Also 1t was simply stated that the matter should not be given publicity at the time. Faulty interpretations may possibly have led to the conclusion that secrecy was desired. The Blu reau had no intention at any time that the instructions were of secret nature; they were not even of a confidential nature.'
 "I don't know, but it seems to me that if an order Is given privately and not announced publicly and in structions are given not to give pub. licity thereto and only one concern is notified to the effect of the order, that it almost might be classed as secret or at least confidential
 One cannery Benefited.
 "To this letter Governor Riggs, replied. under date of October 25: T am glad to have your assurance that there was no secrecy attached to the opening of the Chilkat and Chilkoot Rivers or even nothing of a confidential nature in your In. structions that the regulations should not be enforced without pub licity having been given thereto. as at the time of the Seattle hearings it was openly stated that on the representations of MT. P. F. Harris of the Haines Packing Company that his cannery would be forced to shut down unless fish could be taken from these rivers, that the represen- tative of the Bureau was instructed not to enforce such regulations. and not to give publicity to the ruling and that the Haines Packing Com. pany was the only concern interested which was notified that the regu- lations would not be enforced for the present; and that no action of any kind was taken until the close of the fishing season. A number of can. nerymen were joking Mir. Harris al the Arctic Club. in my pres once, about being able to put such a thing over and get away with it.; to all of which MT. Harris merely smiled and walked away.
 Bureau Not Funstioning.
 Like Governor Riggs. in the face Of the contents of the files submitted to the Senate am at times al most tempted to doubt the good faith of the Bureau. The evidence is very much against it.
 ''rhe case cited from the evidence which have examined simply goes to show how absolutely impossible 1t is for a Federal bureau to func. ton from Washington where 1t can

 "On May 12, 1919, the Bureau wrote in reply: You were expressl, informed that no publicity should be given the matter at present This was for the purpose enabling an in quiry which, if 1t proved that fish ing in the Chilkat River should be prohibited under the terms of the order, would avoid the necessity oi an explanation regarding the more or less tentative plan of not enforc ing the regulation for the present Instructions were given in this letter to make stream measurements.
 "On June IS. 1919, the inspector reported as followA: My investiga. tions have fully convinced me that the stream should fall under the 800 foot limit and Tn view of the unanimous expressions of those un. biased observers who are qualified to know. unbesitatinglyi recommend that no exception be granted from the closing order as affecting the Chilkat except that certain specified old natives be allowed to take not to exceed seven hundred fish
 Tt still seems that although it was stated by the Bureau that the opening order was only tentative, pending an investigation, that even after an investigation had been made, the opening order was not revoked and neither were others interested ln running the stream advised that fishing was permitted.
 At the time of the hearings held in Cordova, Governor Riggs wired Commissioner Smith asking that MT E. M. Ball of the Bureau be instruct. ed to be present. On September 10 the Commissioner wired: 'ss . Ball will surely be in attendance
 '. Mir. Ball was instructed to proceed to Cordova, but later re oeived cancellation of his orders The Governor was not notified of the change in orders.

 Under date of September 29, the Governor wrote Dr. Smith expressing his surprise and further stated: The Territorial Commission feels that a most thorough investigation should be made 50 that there cannot be a repetition of the charges made in connection with an alleged secret opening of the Chilkat and ChilLoos Rivers in favor of preferred in. terest.' In reply.under date of Cc tober IA. 1920.

One of our subscribers asks lis for
our opinion on the campaign of the
Union of American Hebrew Congregd-
lions for funds with which to carry
on propaganda work for Israel in this
country. He probably thinks that, be.
cause we are an orthodox Jewish
Journal, and because tits Union is a
reform institution, we must condemn
this movement. On the contrary. true
to the best traditions of orthodox
Judaism. we gladly lend our support
to this cause and express the sincere
hope that the reform Jews in the
United States will heed the appeal
thus made to them and help the Tn
ion to realize its goal. We are broad
and Jewish enough to know that many
Jews have differing views on Jewish
theology and practice. and equally
broad and Jewish enough to comprc-
bend that the present quest of the
Union is to advance the cause of .Iuda-
ism in general This last, necessarily.

Christmas AS It Was
Back in King Hanks Day

We have endeavored to prove that
shopping is a fine art. 1t has been re.
duced to an exact science. AS .they
used to warble in Germany, might is
right. The woman with the sharp ell.
bows can beat Dempsey and "Strang-
ler' Ed Lewis TO the bargains and lug

nary or the common or garden variety
Of shopping may be said with addi-
tional force of Christmas shopping
The man who is wise begins his
Christmas shopping about July 4. II
he waits until few weeks before
Christmas day he is as helpless in
the marts of trade as a prohibitionist
running for mayor Of Hoboken. He
does great deal of shopping. but he
doesn't buy anything. He can shop
from 9 o'clock in the morning until
3 o'clock IN the afternoon and not get
close enough TO counter to see
whether the clerk Is a natural or a

are always between him and his goal.
In the old days it was somewhat diff
ferent. The weaker sex now was not
the weaker sex then. The women had
not obtained their rights and we have
uncarthed a very important document
to prove it. This document which is
yellow with age, also proves that
king in the old days was quite fellow

We take the liberty Of clipping the fol-
lowing passages from 1t:
"The king sent the varlets forth
last week to fetch the yule log, and
they bring 1t in good order and a
