Horse Runs Away

Yesterday morning things were made
a bit exciting along Water street by a
runaway. The horse attached to Carl
Pierce's milk wagon got tired Of stand
ing on upper Water street and started
madly for the business section. Disre-
garding detour signs and breaking
down wooden barriers. he reached his
goal. Seeing a narrow space at the
bank building between the sidewalk
ana . car. got somehow in the open
ing. but fell on the sidewalk, ignomin-
iously ending his career. A broken
thill. some churned-up milk and q
scratched horse were the total results
Of the lively 10 minutes.

The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15
WHAT DID DAN MEAN?

In letter to Secretary of Com merce Hoover on August 18th, 1922 Delegate Sutherland said:
 "The enumeration of destroyed salmon streams in Alaska could be continued for many pages, but it is sufficient to say that throughout all the southeastern section of the coast there are numerous streams that once carried a splendid run of sal mon but are now entirely barren of fish life, while within the areas cov- cred by the jurisdiction of the De- partment of Commerce under the act of 1906 stand the frameworks of abandoned fishing appliances which serve as memorials of a vanished fish life and as monuments to the in- competency of the United States Bureau of Fisheries IN THE PAST"
 Why mention the past when the incompetence of the Bureau is in greater evidence at the present time than at any period since its institu- tion.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15
EXEMPT LAWYERS

During the course of a trial some years ago, a witness was asked by the prosecuting attorney whether he knew what it meant to take an oath.
 He replied: ITO take an oath means that you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth"
 "What happens if you do not tell the truth?" asked the judge.
 'If you do not tell the truth, Your Honor," replied the witness, "it means that you are dishonored in the sight of God, dishonored in the sight of man-in fact, you are dishonored in the sight of everyone except lawyers"
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-01-15

We have heard rumors that Gov ernor Scott c. Bone wants vindi- cation CD at the polls and will file for the preference vote for gover- nor. We hope he does. Such a move on his part will satisfy the Ameri- can principle of majority rule, and we say here that Alaskans will not have any kick if the majority of the people want the misrule to which he has subjected us.

BATS AND BRICK-BATS

Tom Gardiner, from Dillingham;, Alaska, writes us as follows:
 "A paper for Alaska and Alaskans that suits me. I have received two copies, have passed them around. They are worth reading and deserve the support of all true Alaskans. You have my best wishes for the success of your paper"
