cowboys called, and when Dixie
told his story they saw that death
was in the air and they started
down the river on a raft.
They knew the cowboys were af-
ter them and that they would be
shown no mercy, and SO, when
near Poplar, they surrendered to
a sergeant and a detail of seven
United States soldiers, and asked
to be taken to Fort Maginnis for
trial. The sergeant and his detail
started for Fort Maginnis with the
prisoners, and early the third
morning they awoke to find them
selves in the hands of a dozen
masked men.
Hitch up your outfit and drive
straight on" said the leader of the
land we will not injure you
at all; refuse and we will kill you
all. The prisoners are ours"
The sergeant hitched up and
drove on as directed and the doz-
en- masked men remained behind.

GRADUATED TAX

The validity of the Territorial graduated salmon pack tax, enacted by the 1923 Legislature, has been upheld by the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, at San Francisco.
 Approximately $14O,OOO is due to the Territory by various canning companies under the graduated tax. In addition there are penalties and interest charges to be assessed if the letter of the law is carried out.
 The majority of the packers with held payments due under the gradu ated tax rates until the validity of the statute could be established. For this purpose test case was brought against the Pacific American Fish cries early this year in which the question of it's constitutionality was raised.

OLD CUSTOMS

While the Brotherhood convention was at Hoonah the fake fortune teller of Juneau, who is said to be related to a very influential mer- chant there, came over to attend the convention, hoping in that way to reap large rewards for his deceit.
 It seems that in Juneau these for tune tellers charge from one dollar to seventy-five dollars for glimpse into the future, and that the fortune teller is getting this rake off from Whites and Indians alike. The pub lie officials of our capital city have shut their eyes to this form of fraud for reasons best known to them selves.
 No sooner, however, had these fortune tellers made their appear ance at Hoonah than the Brother hood passed the following resolu- tion, entitled "Old Customs"

Road to Prosperity and Progress"

We have always insisted that nothing will jus tify lie, and that the enlargement of false is- sues to arouse the prejudice of citizens even for political success is dangerous thing The pub lie knows well that we have repeatedly accused the Democratic organ of Juneau, "The Empire" of being the one paper largely responsible for these false issues To prove our statement we now quote from an editorial in that paper of the issue of November 24th 1924, in which the read CT will find true statement as to the basic prin- ciples of prosperity, toWit: "That prosperity de- pends upon individual effort rather than legisla- tion and politics.:
 After all is said and done prosperity depends upon individual effort rather than legislation and politics. The person who works consistently and as consistently conserves his earnings and the community where the people consistently co-op- crate to make the most of it's advantages will prosper. The most that we can hope from gov enment is that it shall not interfere with natur- al development and that it guaranty all square deal No government that tries to stay the hand of progress or that attempts to make water run uphill by refusing to allow development along the lines of industrial or commercial evolution is permanently helpful" l."-Empire.

great deal of political thunder was made out of supposed statement by William L. Paul at the Republican rally preceding the election. The Ketchikan Chronicle fortifies it's editorial by claiming to have printed a verbatim report. The statement referred to is this "The fishermen do not represent high class of working men," The Chronicle and MT. Heckman enlarged upon this in trying to prove that MT. Paul considered himself above the fishing class, and thus to arouse resentment on their part against that
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-12-15

candidate Since the heat of battle is passed, it is proper for us to set forth more fully what was meant.
 We are willing to make the statement again, towit: "The fishing class of Southeastern Alaska are not high-class of working men, for this reason: In all our experience as fishermen there have been many attempts from unions or other combinations for the purpose of securing fair value for fish, In every case the at- tempt has been a failure, because of certain men among us who were willing to sell out. And it is because there are such men among us that we cannot qualify as high-cass of working men, Men like Kit Kettles, Red Irwin and Ted Voss and others allow themselves to be paid to work for the large trap interests and against the fishing class. Until such betrayers are properly exposed and made to sail under their true co1ors, the average standard of the fishermen will be very low. The second thing that flinders the fisherman from being high-class workman is the fact that as class he is not willing to save his money. Industry is at the bottom of all true success, but thrift is the foundation of all prosperity. We do not wish the reader to think that we consider ourselves above the fisherman, for are nOt and when we point out the fail ingS of the fisherman a class we mean that we are degraded by betrayers just as much as any other fisherman, and when say that the fisherman as class is not thrifty, we mean that we have the same weakness. The purposes of these remarks are that fishermen as class shall throw out of our ranks men who persistent ly betray our cause, and that we shall exercise the virtue of thrift, so that command the respect of the businessmen; the banks and other citizens. It will be easy stepping from this position to the point where we can start business for ourselves The laboring men in the states are organizing banks, cooperative stores and other enterprises and are making a success of it. This can be done in Alaska but not until we are willing to accept criticism and to correct our Well-knOWn faults

Sitting Bull and His Son Sent to the
HAPPY Hunting Ground

Sitting Bull is Heap Good Injun"
now. He was killed in a fight be-
tween the hostiles and Indian police
on Monday. 1t was learned at the
agency hat Bull and his followers,
who were in camp forty miles from
Standing Rock, were preparing to
start for the bad lands and an order
was issued for his arrest. A number
of Indian police, three troops of cav
airy and a company of militia were
detailed to bring in the old man. The
police led off and reached the old
chiefs camp first. They surrounded
his tepee, secured their game and
started on the back track. Bulls
followers rallied and tried to re-
capture the old man The police were
getting the worst of the fight and
would soon have been overpowered
had it not been for the timely ar
rival of the cavalry, who soon put
the hostiles to flight. Sitting Bull
his son Crow Foot, Catch Bear and
four other hostiles, together with
seven Of the Indian police, were slain
in the fight. Bull was the main
spirit in the uprising and it is
thought his death will serve as a
quietus to the hostilities. A Bis
mark merchant has offered $1,000
for the old chiefs hide. Another
fight is reported to have taken place
on Tuesday, in which two officers
and fifty soldiers were killed, but
that the Indians were repulsed with
heavy loses.
