The Alaska fisherman., 1924-12-15

Well-De1ng. ESklmO youth are tram ed as herders and, while serving their apprenticeship, simultaneously are taught to read and write. In notable instances young Eskimos have acquired herds of their own and prospered in a small way. Com mercially the industry has made slow headway, but obstacles to it's development are gradually being overcome and it's future is bright with promise. Within a decade the herds have multiplied eight to ten fold and are now estimated at 100000.
 As in the case of Indians the con- dition of Eskimos who live in iso- lated sections is pitiable in the ex- treme. Tuberculosis and other dis eases are prevalent and medical at tention and relief lacking, save through missions which, although inadequately equipped. exist in out of -the-Way places and render splendid humane service to these primitive people. On the entire stretch of the Yukon from Panama to St. Michael, a distance of 1900 miles, there is but one physi- clan and no dentist. Towns along the coast and line of The AL aska Railroad have hospitals and are amply supplied with medical skill, but the practice of the doctor in the vast interior or the far north ern country embraces domain as large as the average state. Often a sufferer must endure a trying jour- ney for days to gain relief. Agents of the Red Cross who made recent surveys and administered to the af- flicted, found distress in many To- calities and an urgent need of addi- tional hospitals and nurses. The steamer Boxer, of the Bureau of Ed ucation, which has just completed it's rying supplies to the schools and hospitals, is proving most service able, but it's annual visit to remote ports does not reach or touch the needs of many regions. But for the missions on the Yukon and Kuskok- vim and on Kodiak and the Aleu- tian Islands the situation would be all the more acute and distressing. In Southeastern Alaska at intervals a contract dentist of the Bureau of Education visits Indian communities to render needed service and public health officers attached to the Coast Guard Service likewise treat the sick and perform surgical operations. A Ketchikan physician on such mis- sion removed the tonsils of a score of native children in one day, assist ed by government nurse.
 Unlike the Indians the Eskimos have shown no desire for the ballot or disposition to qualify for citizen ship. They are docile and contented with their lot, but an apprehension is sometimes voiced that they, too, under designing leadership, may ul- timately become a factor in Terri
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-12-15

q Oalance or power politically has aroused deep resentment and pro- duced an urgent demand for a lit eracy test law to preserve the in tegrity of the ballot. It is con- tended that in exercising the right of citizenship the Indians auto matically forfeit the special priv ileges of the killing of game out of season for food and the catching of seal, accorded them as wards of the nation, and place themselves on the same footing with the whites and become subject to taxation, but this phase of the burning issue has not been judicially passed upon. Enlight- ened Indians in considerable number, in order to reinforce their claims to citizenship, voluntarily pay the Ter ritorial school tax.
 Father Duncan's Colony
 Metlakatla, founded nearly forty years ago by the celebrated mission ary, William Duncan, on Annette Island, near where Presi- dent Harding first landed on Alaskan soil, July 8th, 1923-set the original example of Indian progress and has fairly kept pace with the later colon ies, although a deplorable religious division, following Father" Dun cans death, has tended to retard community effort. The use and oc- cupancy of Annette Island by his followers, British Columbian Indiars, the Tsimsheans, was granted by act of Congress in 1891, and under his wise leadership times somewhat despotic- colony thrived amaz- ingly upon a cooperation basis, and achievements of history. The largest and most imposing church edifice in Alaska stands out in the foreground of the picturesque village as monu- ment to his memory and he rests in the church-yard adjacent. By the terms of his will a cash estate of some $15O,OO0, accumulated for the colony, was bequeathed to perpetuate his work, but this has not been turn ed to any use because of ensuing factionalism. A Government school building, the best of it's class in the Territory, is successfully maintained at Metlakatla, and another mission church has been established The village now has 500 or 600 souls, a decreased population due to the ten dency of the younger element to seek larger fields. The Metlakatlans are justly asking that they may be made secure in property rights ac- quired on the island and the required legislation, limited to the town-site, should equitably be enacted. Annette Island as a whole is not used or oc- cupied by the colony and should be opened to prospecting and develop ment as it is believed to contain mineral deposits. As the Tsimsheans are of British origin and descent, their status is unique in that they are unable to qualify for citizenship and they look to Congress to recog-

admlnlstratlOn Is never satisfactory. Cases of destitution among the whites are quickly relieved through Territorial agencies, but delay is the rule in similar cases among the natives. Often in an emergency the Territory extends aid, although lit orally the use of it's relief funds is confined to the white population.
 The sending of dependent native children to institutions outside of the Territory for training at govern ment expense is of doubtful wisdom. Experience teaches that they fare better in the mission schools, al- though, as a rule, these are made quately equipped. The need of a large training school in Alaska for the native youth has long been mani fest, and additional hospital facili- tics are most urgent. 10 promote the efficiency of the native schools closer supervision is necessary, with the directing head located in Alaska The administration of the Territorial public school system for white chil- dren affords model worthy of gov ernmental emulation.
 Thriving Communities
 Although the population of the Territory as whole has shown scant growth, if not an actual de- crease, since the census of 1920, communities along the Southeastern and Southwestern coasts, on the steamship routes, are making nota- ble progress. Development is marked at Ketchikan, which has had an ex- ceptionally prosperous year, and, in substantial degree, this is true of Wrangell> Petersburg, Juneau, S1tka, Cordova, Seward and Kodiak. Thanks to improved transportation service the best in the history of Alaska, with regular and frequent sailings- these communities have been brought into closer touch and their common interests conserved. Anchorage, at the head of Cook Inlet, the con- struction base of the government railroad project, was temporarily af- fected in some measure by the com pletion of the work and the transfer from a construction to an operating basis, but it is the center of a coun- try of promising mineral and agri- cultural resources and is readily re- adjusting itself to the changed sit uation. Fairbanks, the northern ter minus of the railroad, has been stim- ulated by mining activities, with the access of new capital, and it's future seems assured. All the towns named shared in the increasing tourist travel. Nome, in the far north, a closed port in the Winter season, is profiting by renewed mining opera tions which are of benefit to the entire Seward Peninsula.
 The vast stretch of country con tiguous to the interior waterway, the Yukon, from Panama to St. Michael, shows the least immediate promise. It is an unpeopled country, with abandoned mining camps bearing pa

SUBMIT PLANS FOR
BIG APARTMENT HOUSE

The prospective plans and specifi-
cations for the new apartment house
which is to take over the hospital
foundation and grounds, was submit
ted to the business interests in L'Anse
last Friday by Architect Hansen Of
Petoskey.
The proposed building will have "a
apartment, each having kitchen, bath
and bedrooms. An inner court will
give all the apartments light, on both
the inner and outer side, the porch ex-
tending around the court.
The cost Of the building is estimat-
ed at $85, 10000, with an estimated
income Of s12,4s000 each year. the
expense being estimated at $3.50 an
nually.
With the shortage Of homes in
L'Anse and an extensive building pro-
gram expected by the Ford Motor
pany next summer, these apartments
could in all probability be leased. The
building would be ideally situated on
the Main street hill.

etc. They thought is was waste of
money.
"There are many important things
in athletics. One is the physical val
ue. Physicians are brought into the
schools and show certain pupils just
what athletics are most benecial to
them. Another important things is
the mental value. If man takes a
vacation once year and INDUCES in
athletics and resting, he will be able
to do twelve months work in ten
months.
"When a man is in business he gets
many hard knocks. They may not be
large enough or bad enough to end
his career but they are bad enough.
When men do meet with disappoint-
ments they should be good sports.
They should not give up but should
keep on trying until they succeed.
Athletics teaches one to be good
sport, because in playing and taking
part in athletics one must be ready
to meet disappointments. If you lose
a game you should not find fault with
the coach, with the players, etc. You
should make up your mind you were
up against better team, or that luck
was against the break Of the game.

sity defeated the Michigan state uni

just to get lessons. This. will make

"A school should be interesting. It
should be bright and clean.

the development of fundamental
ideas. Therefore student should
come in closer relationship with
things he will need in after life"

JUDGE STONES TALK

Judge Stone addressed the students
of L'Anse high school Tuesday of last
weeA. In cleaning the facts submit
ted by him, q student presents the
following paper:
"One thing that pupils don't real
ize is that they are learning many
things helpful to us as citizens. We
are usually taught that the ordinary
business man pursues business to
make money. Scholars have the same
idea. Our whole idea in going to
school should not be to make recita-
tions, to pass exams, etc. This is
only a small part Of maintaing the
schools.
"The business man that lives just
to make money is not important. A.
ter he is dead his money is distributed
and spent and he is soon forgotten.
I'm coming to school we should ask
ourselves this question: What are we
trying to dpi' The answer would be
to make this world better place to
live in.
when man moves into a new
place he wants to make the acquaint-
ances Of all the people. He wants to
join clubs. He must find out about all
fraternal associations, whether it be
Knights Of Columbus, Knights of Fy-
thias or some other club, he wants to
join IT. He must take part in civic
affairs, that is, help to make his city
better place to live in. He also has
political duties, such as voting for
officers of the school board. He must
go to political caucuses. He may be
asked to be delegate to some. con-
vention. Whether it be city, state or
national conventions, he may be asked
to 60.
"A scholar has the same things to
meet in the school world. He must
make acquaintances. He should be
acquainted with all the pupils. He
must join clubs. There must be clubs
nSthe L'Anse high school because it
told about them in the last years an
nual. This corresponds to civic or
ganizations. Class organizations rep
resent political organizations.
"This training in school will devel-
op qualities that are necessary in af-
ter life.
"This applies to girls also. as they
have the same rights and privileges
as boys.
"A business man has to keep in
touch with national questions. Po-
itical parties are good things as the
opposition between the two is inter
esting and enlightening.
