NEW JOB FOR INDIANS.
Reservation Tribes to Have Work
in Arizona Cotton Fields.

The Interior Department has just
completed a program for the employ
ment of Indians who live on reserva-
tions in the cotton fields of Arizona.
Recent development of cotton raising
in the Salt River ralley has reached
such proportions that labor short
age in the cotton-p picking industry
has developed. Mexican laborers have
been used, but the planters have not
been able to secure sufficient num-
ber to handle the reaping of the crop.
Acreage planted this year is SO
large that All appeal has been made
that Indians on the Arizona reserva-
tions be permitted to assist in
picking cotton, and the Interior
Department has agreed to this ar
rangement with the understanding
that the government exercise general
supervision.
1t is planned that the Indians going
to the cotton fields in considerable
numbers shall be provided with
school facilities for their children
through the government and the cot
ton growers working together.

BEGINNING TO GET SANE
(SkagWay AlaSkan)

Employment of stool pigeons by city and county authorities in bootlegg1ng or other cases is illegal under any law unless the operatives are licensed pri- vate detectives or in the employ of licensed private detective, according to some authorities. The opinion of an Attorney General in California to the state board of prison directors, growing out of the employment of an unlicensed operative in bootlegging cases in certain counties throughout the state, will hit some officials who have in the past engaged in that kind of practice.
 Regardless of the issue involved, high-minded men and women will con- tend that it all wrong to pay man to commit a crime and then employ the one who caused the offender to violate the law as witness to bring about his conviction.
 Juries are beginning to resent be- ing asked to be parties to such pro- ceedings, and as the way public sen- timent is growing, it will not be long before officers will not attempt to go into court and ask for a conviction upon the testimony of stool pigeon.
 Bad as is the habit of using stool pigeons there is a more reprehensi- ble offense now going on under the guise of the law-compounding a fel- ony along these lines: A man caught violating the law is promised immu- nifty if he will pose as a decoy and get someone else into trouble. It is all very we'll where a straight viola tion exists to punish the offender, but where one offender is used to snare another for a consideration the dig nifty of the law is sullied.

Some time within the near future the government will establish a naval base some where in this vicinity of Alaska. Certain government officials who have surveyed the coast and are familiar with its topography, have in sisted that Seward is the logical place for such base, on account of its prox- unity to the government railroad, and it's deep water, splendid harbor and easily fortified position. Be this as it may, if there is such a base estab lished Seward should present it's claims to the navy department. It is practically certain that such claims will have little bearing in the deci sions of the naval board; but it does no harm to present them.

The Chamber of Commerce went on record yesterday in demanding that a term of court be held in Seward each year, as was formerly the custom. It may be a matter of convenience for the court to handle these cases at Valdez, but where the people insist and the attorneys desire it, there is no reason for refusing their request. All business coming from the west ward should be handled at Seward, as should other trial cases be held at the point nearest their occurrence. Judge Brown formerly held terms at Cordo- va, Valdez, Seward and Anchorage. We can see no more reason for drag ging business men of Anchorage and
