VAST SUMS GOLD LOST YEARLY IN
 FAR0FF LANDS

NEW YORK Jan 3O.-What be- comes of all the gold produced by the mines of the world, is frequent in- Quiry, particularly with the growing importance of gold shipments, and the question may be answered as fol- lows:
 Coinage among civilized nations, which accounts for about One-fOurth of the production; use in industrial arts; waste, a five-dollar goldpiece, for example, losing 1k per cent in weight after one years use; boarding, by which millions of dollars are mys- teriously swallowed up annually among primitive peoples; and loss, as through fire, shipwreck and similar causes.
 Gold mining in this country has fallen off because the industry has found it hard to turn profit at post war prices. The price of gold has long been fixed by the government at S2O.67 an ounce. Year in, year out, re- gardless of supply and demand, it re- mains begged" up at this figure.
 The purchasing value of gold, mean while, varies, fluctuating with price levels. An ounce of gold, economists compute, purchases perhaps only 60 per cent as much now as before the war. Mine costs, in consequence, could not be realized on many lower grade workings and many have shut down
 Yet gold the world over continues to come from the earth at a rate esti- mated in 1923 at about $20,O00,O ,OOO, ,0OO worth year.

incorrectly. The mother tongue is perfect.
 We suspect that when the New York Times reporter interviewed Miss Falldine she fell into the mis- take that many Alaskans make in this; she hated to reveal to the re- porter her ignorance of a thing that is really interesting to the Eastern people, namely: The history, the old customs, and the transition from such customs to the new civilization by the aborigines of Alaska. Rather than say "I do not know," she made an answer which only shows how superficial her study of the Indian people has been. We have suspected as much for a long time, but it re- mained for her to travel to New York City to prove the case.

ERICH ALASKA"

In recent issue of one of the papers of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, there was contained report on "Rich Alaska" made by Roy Soren- son when he returned to that city. This article excited the wrath of an Alaskan pioneer sojourning in Mil waukee. He complained that what we need are boosters for Alaska. It seems to us that Roy Sorenson has hit the nail on the head, and has rendered Alaska real service by tell irg the truth. He spcaks of Valdez Blooming like a ghost on the shore" He mentions canneries whose "Work- CTS flock back to the states when winter hears, taking with them their money, while the towns, showed in, half deserted, listen over the radio to the world outside" He speaks of the Fairbanks College with it's "twenty-three students" that com mands it's biennial appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars or more. The article follows:
 ERICH ALASKA CRIES FOR MEN
 Alaska, land of magic contrasts, where peaks rise to stern, forbidding heights, where petals of flowers push through the white blanket of the snoWs to startle with their beauty, where people welcome chance visitors from the world outside!
 Alaska! Huge, laundering giant that holds forth gold in it's hands, and is starving!"
 These are the impressions of Roy Sorenson, Y. M. c. A. boys work secretary, who just returned from Alaskan. "A wonderful country" said Sorenson yesterday, "a most wonderful country. But with hopes so slender, so tragic, it's people eking out existence at the edge of the World."

"POLYGAMY PRACTICED BY ALASKA INDIANS"
Interview by Miss Marie Falldine

We are SlVlng attention to the interview given by Miss Falldine to the New York Times and reprinted by Stroller's Weekly, in order to show how little some good people can learn after being several years in the Territory. The informed res idents of Alaska will readily see how badly Miss Falldine misunderstands the people among whom she has dore some work. Perhaps we should say at this time that we had high regard for the lady, and ac- knowledge the enthusiasm with which she works for all classes who need the services of a Red Cross nurse.
 She is reported to have said: Alaska Indians in some instances still have two wives, an elder one to do the work and younger one to bear the children. The practice of having two wives is no longer common, but is an old-fashioned GUS tom and is done under cover. The residual effects are seen in the fact that the Alaskan native generally marries a woman older than him. self" Miss Falldine entirely mlsun- derstands the reason for the prac- tice which formerly obtained. In the olden days when a man died his heir under Indian common law was his sisters son, the unmarried eldest of whom would assume the leader ship of the family vacated by the deceased. The uncle's widow would be married to his nephew, who, by this ceremony, because the uncle's heir. Of course, the widow would nearly always be much older than the nephew. And as time vert on the old lady would select from her immediate family young woman to be the wife of her young husband. In a sense this is polygamy. But in another sense it was provision by primitive people to take care of their old people.
 The practice above referred to has not been followed during the last sixty years. As missionaries have come into the Territory and worked among these people they have per suaded all such couples to separate and allow the man to select the wife that he would marry, which would be dore legally.
 Referring to her further state ment, as follows: "Alaskan natives in the southeastern part of the Ter ritory live in villages of huts rudely built, and in many cases in tribal huts," Miss Falldine has no com prehension of what tribal hut is, TOT has she seen tribal hut in Southeastern Alaska at any time.

dle uSeu Dy any person, WnlCe or otherwise, holding the same station in society. Among the finest resi- dences in Sitka you will find sev- eral belonging to so-called illiterate Indians, but actually owned by graduates of the Sheldon Jackson School. And so it goes.
 She says: "In the region where l have been working the tribal mar rlage customs are very strict. No member can marry a woman in his own tribe. An Eagle may marry a Raven or a Bear, but he is for bldden to mate with an Eagle" Miss Falldine has not learned that the Eagle and the Bear belong to the same phratres, to use the Smithsonian phrase. Perhaps the term "clan" is just as good and better understood. This law, how ever, was a very strict one. The children in family take the clan of the mother. No intermarriages are allowed, for the reason that the Indian considered such a marriage was interbreeding and a marriage between blood relatives. They are getting over that idea, however, and "oon we expect to see them follow the practice occasionally seen among the civilized races of cousins marry ing cousins.
 She said further: "The Alaska native is stoical and almost morose. The natives are notably kind to their children, however, and discipline them so little that the task of the teacher in the native school is a diff flcult one." Miss Falldine touches upon a truth that is we'll known among the natives. Their realization of this fact led them in former times to take away from the parent all the boys as they reached the age of twelve years and give the child to the brother of the mother, who raised him with truly Spartan se- verity in order that "he might not bring disgrace upon the name"
 Speaking of their language she says, "They have no negatives in their speech" It is impossible to know where Miss Falldine could get such information, for the language of the 1ndians in Southeastern Alaska is a language that is almost as we'll developed as the Latin language It iS nore highly developed than the English language, having declensions and conjugations that are unknown to the English tongue, making it possible to express ideas that would be impossible even to such a cul- tured lady as Miss Falldine.
 Another thing that should be told is the fact that, even though the
