The Alaska fisherman., 1925-07-15
(By SEN. FOREST J. HUNT)

flict of interests so manifest is di rectly attributable to lust for riches and power by those who (many of them unconsciously) reverence the dollar above the welfare of the ris- ing generations; they may prate of their riches, but the richest heri- tage of man is the love and respect tul regard of we'll reared family. The future of Alaska rests wholly upon the standard of citizenship of the rising generation. The Chronicle and Empire are, by their continued attacks upon Dan Sutherland and hi.; friends, including myself (for politi- cal reasons alone) giving such aid as is within their power to discrimina- tory laws and class distinction. When MT. Morrisscy, as president of the Commercial Club did, in most un~ parliamentary manner, arbitrarily ta ble communication of the Woman's Council, soliciting the support of the club to their petition for a police matron, with the statement that h4 did not approve of the woman whom they wanted, he flagrantly insulte,l the mothers of the rising generation of this community and showed his utter disregard for the fundamental principles of democracy. As a ma:- ter of fact the Woman's Council hal TO particular person in view for the position, and if they had, by what authority was he enthroned a dic- tator? When he took up the cause of the laWless element in his efforts to discredit Delegate Sutherland anl his friends, in his denial of what he and every observant citizen in the community knows to be true, he took a stand for continuation of lax law enforcement, and to show lis insincerity 1 quote from an edi- torial which appeared in the Chron- icle of April 17th, on "Clean-up Week." to-wit:
 "And Speaking of Cleanups," "It might not be amiss, in speaking Of cleanups, to suggest that concerted effort be made by the police anl others to remove from the city some of the idle gentry whose chief oc- cupation is that of petty thievery in the form of gambling, and in living off the earnings of others. In the old days of Alaska there was wide open gambling and generally speak irg the gamblers of those days had a code of honor which they ob- served. They victimized the public in 8 rather gentle way, giving it "t least a semblance of a show for their money. Today it is not so. The tinhorn gamblers infest maay places and the sucker who sits in with them has no chance in the world. He is not only running up against crooked cards but the "man-

democratic, which, naturally, gives all of our political news bourbon flavor and, while they have driven most of the honest-principled demo- crats out of the party, they have schemed and played up to special in- terests and the capitalistic element of the Republican party of Alaska, to such an extent as to have ab- sorbcd them "body and breeches' into their ranks, as evidenced by the last election, when they openly sup ported the democratic ticket, after pretty generally installing we'll known democrats in most of the ap- pointive political positions. The fact is that the sentiment being eN~ pressed by this combine is that there are no patty lines here, it is case of whether the whites or Indians are to control. Now, we will ask, as a matter of justice, wlo should con- trol? The Indians are a product If this land, were born Indians, not from choice, but as a family of Gods people. The whites are the usurper+, and as such should exhibit a spirit of fairness and evidence their pro- fessed superiority by proper rec ognition of the rights of the h. dians instead of continually voicing their contempt in the same spirit that they refer to the colored man as "damned Nigger" when, as a matter of fact, the white man is him- self to blame for the presence f the negro element in this country. The Juneau Empire, K ct h k an Chronicle and Stroller Whites paper have all worked themselves up to a white heat over the illiterate Indian vote for political reasons only, anl for the reason that the Indian vote was against their gang, and this condition will continue as long as they control the newspaper situation of this section but, a reasonable amount of competition is a good thing and it will come sooner or later. William Paul is referred to as an Indian, in derisive term; it would be just as fair to speak with contempt of a blind or one-lcggel man, but man, the animal, is the most selfish of the family. If Will liam would but condemn Dan Suth- erland and join ranks with the monied tories of Alaska how soon the sentiment would change. I ain not authorized to speak for William Paul, but 1 believe that I have fair conception of respectable citi- zenship and equality before thc law

BUT Uncle Billy was not 70 beescared
out. He said he lived in his early
days on the Missouri river, above St.
Louis, where the mosquitoes were so
thick the u went out Of sight two
hours before its usual time for set

The tourists met Thomas Dunn at
the Madison bridge and learned that
80 head Of stock had just been re-
ceived at Three Forks for the Ana
conda company and that lumber for
stables would be received in a few
days. Mr.. Dunn is preparing to put
up hay for the company. He viii
have four mowers at work.
Short calls we're made at Mr.. Dun
bars, at Mr.. StOvenour's and at Mrs,
Sharman's. Supper was had at
Squire Hopping's, Carl doing the
square thing by the horse and seeing
that he was provided for also. Uncle
Billy remarked as he left this place
that the tourists had been treated
with genuine hospitality and that thes
had been received on the trip with
as much consideration os if one o.
them had been Grover Cleveland.
A short drive took them to th'

A SPIN IN THE VALLEY
Grain Crops Looking Fine; Manhat-
tan and Belgrade Both Booming.

Uncle Billy Rea and "Our Matt
took a drive to Gallatin the first #
the week. They went by Sheds
bridge, the county bridges below both
being out Of repair.
The grain crops between Bozeman
and the West Gallatin and down the
river nearly all look exceptionally
fine.
The elevator at Manhattan, 112 feet
in height, presents a very imposing
appearance. It is practically enclosed.
The first story of the stone malt
house is up. Several new residences
have been erected this summer and
more are to follow. Mr.. French, the
new blacksmith, occupies a neat lit
tie cottage just erected, and Geo.
Perks is putting up a mate to it for
Fred. Hutchinson, who is interested
IN the meat market. R. B. Chisholm
IS also preparing to commence work
on his proposed new residence.
Such grain fields of the mailing
company as are to be seen from the
road look fine. It is said the only
poor grain fields they have are those
on which grain was raised last year
Grain on new ground and on summer
fallowed soil is as fine a stand al

Lhnghorne Loses His Roll.

S. W. Langhorne, president Of the
baseball association, came over with
the Helena boys last Friday and wit
messed the defeat of. the Bozeman club
in Saturdays game. That evening in
the fullness of his joy he wired Mr..
Muth Of Helena to come over and see
their ~favorites win Sundays game,
also. In response to the telegram
that gentleman came over in time to.

Langhorne departed sadder and wiser

much lightened, for they were loyal
men and bet their money freely on
the Helena team, every dollar Of
which they lost.

Those Street Crossings.

Those Street Crossings.
The city council should secure q
patent for these wonderful stone
street crossings now under %construc-
ton, otherwise the city viii never
get the worth of its money invested
in them. It seems passing strange,
however, that u city fathers should
constantly fail to realize the old eco
nomic adage that what is worth doing
is worth doing well. It is fair to
say that Notwithstanding all the mon
ey that has been expended from time
to time for the purpose, there is not
a decent or properly constructed
street crossing within the city limits.
The nearest approach to it are a
few plank crossings recently con-
structed under the personal super
vision Of the street commissioner.
The stone crossings are simply abOm-
inable-the crudest and toughest
kind Of rubble wOrk-although they
cost, no doubt, almost if not fully
as much as they would if properly
constructed of square, evenly sur
faced blocks, or flagstOnes, guageo
to a uniform thickness and properly
imbedded en- a solid foundation OF
sand and gravel.
Surely there are practical, observ.
ing men in the council who know thu
difference between properly construc
ted street crossings and primitive
botch work, and will take sufficien+
interest in public affairs not to squan
der the peoples money by construct
ing Rocky mountain hogbacks-calle'
by courtesy street crossings. Tn
contractors, of course, are not t
blame, as they r supposed to follow
plans and specifications furnished, 0
verbal instructions, as the case ma,
be.

has not departed BY any maprer oE
means.
The next day q short call was
made on Miss Fannie Cambell, WHO
IS mistress Of a hay and grain farm
and keeps several men busy; and then
the tourists turned their faces homie

of the time on cattle trails and part
Of the time going straight across the

Gallatin valley, almost equal in eX-
tent to that under cultivation, which
only needs the hand Of industry and
a reasonable supply Of water to make
it 'blOom and blossom as the rose"
The lower Madison valley has NOS
so great a fall to the mile as the
Gallatin and the great crop Of that
section is hay. Some good grain
fields are in the valley, however, and
more grain viii be raised in future
years.
Belgrade is growing nicely, but the
j~udicious use of a few pots of paint
is needed to make the town present
as nice an appearance as it should.
the new two-story schOolhOuse pre-
sents a very imposing and attractive
appearance and it will be Of great ad-
vantage to the place. ThOs. B. Quaw
has a fine new residence under way.
When completed it will be one of the
finest homes in the county and be a
decided attraction Evidently Tom

Uncle Billy says he thinks his next
trip will be the Worlds fair. He
says the railroads will take him half
r way for nothing and he could find his
t way back home easy enough.

Visit Mystic Lake.

A party composed Of Drs. L. E. and
G. R. Safely, William Radcliffe, War
rem Owen and C. T. Shearer went up
TO Mystic lake last Monday, return
ing Wednesday. They affirm that
the lake and surrounding mountains
make up enc Of the most beautiful
pieces of scenery to be found in the
state and they also affirm that the
territory comprising this same bit
Of scenery harbors more flies and
mosquitoes than all the rest of Mon
tana put together. The flies are as
! big as chickens and the ~one-fourth
part of a mosquito made an excellent
trout bait.

Widmyer Marries.
J. r. Widmyer OF Glendive has mar
ried a Minnesota lady to the sincere
regret Of a number of young ladies
in Bozeman, who fondly hoped the
ceremony would take place in this
city. One Of the young ladies re-
marked the other day that she didn't
like it a bit that Joe should get mar
ried without saying anything about
it to her.

which increases the charms Of this
well equipped home.
J.. B. Cain, on North Bozema1

himself, one of the finest cottages in
the city. It is beautifully designed

By the washing away Of an en-

could not carry the usual amount of

An o pen Letter
to the People Of Ozeman


Comparing other places with our own, we find that Bozeman is by
far a most prosperous business center.
During the past three or four years, this growing prosperity has
attracted many foreign commercial interests, who are sufficient only to
themselves, many of whom do not even patronze our local banks. These
have become so numerous as to result in many instances in almost fatal
competition; wholesale and cut prices often prevail.
At first thought, the buyer is apt to think this an advantage; but do
you recall those days just after the great war, when prices were high and
yOu didn't know whether your few dollars were safe even in our banks,
and when our crops were burnt brown and ruin followed the wake Of
devastating hail?
Who helped you weather the storm under crushing burden Of credit?
Then, by perseverance and sacrifice, your home merchants and your
selves working together, have again built up a comparative era Of good
times. We have built good roads, better FARMS, new schools and bought
new cars.
Get in your car and travel down the Belgrade road, or up the Ganahn.
and think seriously why you are able to own a car; and as you travel our
beautiful roads, look about you at the comfortable farms, and deeply con-
slider who has made all these blessings possible.
No branch of large corporation from another state, nor hy-bynight
cutrate store, nor beautifully decorated cheap price cataog has con-
u1buted, and q little careful thought and you win realize the fact.
Yourselves ana your home mechats-WorEngh hand IN hand over
smooth and difficult pahs-are responsible for the welfare and prosperity
of Galtn Valley and our home city Of Bo1sman.
