Ben Franklin Enjoyed
Good Things of Life

Benjamin Franklin was one Of those
rare men who lived SO happily and so
abundantiy that the reader Of his life
9nds himself wishing he might have
been q contemporary.
He was regarded as one Of the wis
est members Of the First congress, yet
he seldom spoke and he spent a great
part Of his tima fast asleep in his
chair.
He drank too much, he ate too
much; instead Of exercising, he
played chess He suffered the piercing
pains of govt. He confessed all his
faults with delightful humor and
frankness.
At Aixteen he wrote an article for
his brothers newspaper. describing
the night life Of Boston, and at seventy
he was still INDUCING In pleasant ro-
mances with young and beautiful
French women. He missed nothing.
AS he added years to his age and
dollars to his income. he violated many
Of Poor Richards precepts.
Kis common sense led him to take
Aot baths twice week, when the gen
eral custom was to battle not oftenei
than two or three times year. He be
lieved In fresh air, and even night air
while the doctors were still using
leeches as a cure-all.
He enjoyed life to the utmost He
was the master Of his circumstances
from the age of sixteen, when he rar
away from home, to the ripe age OF
eighty-four. when he passed on, witt
all his affairs In order. He left an es
tate Of quarter million dollars fo'
his heirs.-Wiliiam Feather Magazine

but the orderly arrangement of facts from which certain deductions na- turally follow. Dr. Gilbert would have the Indian count the scales of the fish, perhaps. But for the ilIit- crate Indian, his mind s7s@ satisfied when he can remember from his own experience that after many years of intensive seine fishing, no depletion followed because a seiner must sleep at night when the fish may then es- cape, and he makes too many water hauls. He also knows that depletion has always followed the building of the trap which is always placed across the creek or at some other point in the direct path of the fish.
 Singularly, the Bureau of Fisher ies never have representative at these conventions of fishermen and never ask them to express their ideas or give their experiences. But whenever the Bureau wants to know something about fish, they send a representative to Juneau and call a meeting of R. E. Robertson and Bert Faulkner, the two most prominent at- torneys of the big canneries, and ask them to resolute some wisdom for their edification. And wonderful to relate, these men who get all their information about fish from law books, always have the resolu- tions as desired in form and sub stance by the Bureau. "And still the wonder grows, that one Cor two)
 small head could carry all he knew"
 This convention endorsed Home Rule for Alaska, and division of this Territory. This they did because the different speakers represented that no hope for fair treatment of the resident population in respect to the preservation of our natural resources could come in any other way. It was singular how in each instance, the different speakers proved his case by citing fact after fact to support his opposition to the carpet-bagging sy- stem of government. The records of succeeding governors who came from the outside, the inefficiency of the Bureau of Fisheries, the sub serviency of officials to big cannery interests and big mines were brought up. This would prove to MT. Robert son and MT. Faulkner, above attor- neys, that these Indians should not vote. But to us, we could see no difference either in the argument advanced by them to that advanced by the most educated. and we have

race or class Of people. 1t seemed to us as we listened to their debates, that Alaska, through their manage ment, could easily regain the pris- tine wealth of game fur and fish that abounded here when the land was ruled by the ancestors of what are now called Ignorant Indians"
 By their fruits ye shall know them." Even when tested by the highest standard of culture, educa- tion or economies, the resolutions of this convention asking for certain laws or advising certain policies will be found to be worthy. These peo- pie declared for model workmen's compensation act in which the com pensation of the injured workman should be based on percentage of wages; compulsory insurance with the State; payments of benefits by the State along the lines of the Act introduced by Senator Charles w. Brown of Nome in the last legisla- ture.
 They endorsed the game and fur bill introduced in Congress by the Hon. Dan A. Sutherland and con- demned the so-called alternative game bill backed by Governor Scott c. Bone for the reason that the lat ter bill is political measure pri- marily, whereas the interests of the territory demand that the first con- sideration should be the game.
 They demanded that all fish traps and fixed engines for fishing should be abolished. Their arguments on this point might not satisfy Dr. Charles Gilbert or the Hon. Henry O'Malley or Sec. Herbert Hoover with it's scientific profundity, but yet they proved their case every time. The system of argument was simple, and was in this form: "For ten or if teen years (according to the parti- cular stream offered in evidence) I fished this stream with fifteen other crews, and every year we could catch and did catch 5O,OOO or 100000 Gas the case might be) fish. There was plenty of fish every year. But in 1907 Cor whatever year) the cannery placed a trap there and two years later or thereafter, this fish stream had no fish. Today no boat crew stays there."
 This argument was the general form, and it seems to us that it is scientific; for as we remember the definition of science of our school days. if was that science is nothino

The tenth annual convention of the BROTHERHOOD was held last No vember. Ten towns sent delegates while three towns sent messages. The population represented by these delegates is over four thousand.
 These Natives of Alaska, called In- dians for want of a better name, as- sembled for the purpose of discus sing the problems of life. This is without parallel in Alaska. The nearest approach among the edu cated citizens of Alaska is the an nual convention of the Parent Teach CT Associations who, however, con fine their discussions to school prob lems.
 No gathering, even of politicians anxious for party victory compares with the scope of these conventions of Indian delegates. The topics em- brace principally, Practical Religion, Education, Commerce and Govern
  vance in their grasp of the questions involved as the different leaders eX- plain how necessary the full pro- gram is to the advancement of the native.
 Another remarkable thing to bc seen at these conventions is the large number of able speakers and thinkers which the Native People have. They are not very strong Oil parliamentary law, but they under stand to the fullest the niceties of real courtesies. They cannot read and write, perhaps, but they have done their own thinking, and come to their own conclusions. These men and women have been trained from their earliest youth to see, record and remember facts. They under stand wild life and know their ha- bits. They know the habits of fish it's history, the present dangers, and know the solution. All this in spite of their illiteracy. Further more, they are aware of the dangers that threaten them through the de- pletion of these resources. We were forced to learn that illiteracy does not mean ignorance.
 If they were governing Alaska, judging by the decisions of this Con- vention, Alaska would have better schools, just laws for the aged peo- pie and orphans. Wild life would be protected and the fisheries would be preserved for all citizens alike. Laws

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.--So that wor thy boys and girls who desire the benefits of a higher education, but lack the means, may not be forced to forego this training in their younger years, fifteen prominent St. Louis business and professional men stand sponsor for movement to furnish such funds.
 The Washington University Stud ents' Loan and Scholarship asso- ciation, now seeking incorporation in the local courts, plans fund of S2,- 100000 or more from which loans would be made to deserving students seeking training in Washington Un- iversity or other St. Louis institu tions.
 Washington University alumni ir other cities have expressed their willingness to assist in the move ment and a committee of 100 alum nj is now being chosen
 Tuition fees and other expenses, if needed, would be paid to deserv- ing students, for part of one year, for one or more years, or for the full four-year course. Gradual re- payment of the loans following grad uation would make the fund re- volving one, enabling the association to help thousands of boys and girls in future years.

J. w. WALKER STANDS PAT
 ON GAME WARDEN QUESTION

J. w. Walker, in charge of the bi- ologicial survey, with headquarters at Juneau, recently removed num- Der of game wardens, including the one at Seward, on a plea of econo- my. Replying to protest from the Seward Chamber of Commerce, MT. Walker states that the funds were low and he believed it more import ant to retain a warden at Anchorage than at Seward, on account of the big game fields being in the vicinity of Anchorage, etc. Anchorage is 100 miles farther from the Kenai lake moose herds than is Seward, and ev- cry big game hunter coming to vis- it these fields are inconvenienced greatly by the lack of a warden here. Hunters clearing for westward points are also held up. But so long as this view of the matter is taken by go with the hide. The only game we ever heard of near Anchorage was pangynga and croquet, with a few rabbits, Anchorage hunters coming to Kenai and down this way for their moose. We are not against Anchor age having a game warden, but be- lieve this big game center should not be overlooked.

Ruling Sought In
 Naturalization Case

The naturalization bureau of the Government expects to seek relief from the United States Supreme Court on a recent ruling of the local United States Circuit Court of Appeals, in which it was declared a claim for military exemption is not sufficient to set aside the citizen ship of former alien, it was indi- cated by M. R. Bevington, local chief Federal naturalization examiner of San Francisco.
 "While the local Appellate Court" " said Bevington, "ruled that a cer- tain alien of Montana was admis- sible to citizenship, although the Government sought to show that he was a draft evader, we are proper ed to show that such persons are not entitled to naturalization
 The Government, in it's attack upon the citizenship of Lasse An tonsen Siem, claimed that Siem in being naturalized in Butte, Montana, in 1923, by Federal Judge Bourquin, fraudulently was admitted to as an alien, refused to fight for this coun- try and because he expressed his un- willingness to return to his native country of Norway and to enter the military service of that country.

Writing to MT. Charles Tecklen berg, of this city, Robert Michael son, pioneer operator in the Moose Pass district, declares that he has struck bedrock and pay in the Blue Gulch claims, the pay being found in an old channel being prospected by MT. Michaelson Gold is found in every pan, and indications are that the paystreak will be very rich when the old channel is fully entered. The channel is from 50 to 60 feet in width, 30 feet to bedrock. The shaft sunk by Mr. Michaelson taps the channel at the extreme edge, and is about 300 feet above the present channel of Mills creek. The pay streak is about one mile long, so far as known. MT. Michaelson is operat- ing q hydraulic proposition with No. giant about 50 feet above the pres ent creek bed, and this ground is al- so very rich.

 AUDIENCE IN FINE COMEDY

The comedy drama at the Liber- "Grandma's Boy" was one of the best laugh provokers seen in Seward for many a day. The large audi ence was kept in a roar of laughter from start to finish. Unless you have seen this comady don't miss it. It is worth a package of physic The story deals with a young man who is too timid to take his own part in his love and business affairs. His old grandmother gives him charm that makes brave man out of him and he cleans up the neighborhood as we'll as capturing a murderer who has terrorized the sheriff's posses. The situations arising are most ludi- crous and provoke the disabilities of the the theater-goer in a surprising way. Men who had not laughed for months fairly cracked their sides last night.
