AN INTERVIEW WITH CARL
 STRONG


 ests not only in Ketchikan but also on the Pacific Coast. He is a man of very strong dislikes and perhaps very strong likes as well, but we are only acquainted with his dis likes. However, we do not want our readers to think that in this fight we have undertaken against the policies he advocates, we have any thing against the man personally. He represents a system, and Ii the day ever comes when he becomes a convert to the "better way" we will not be the last to commend him.
 Heretofore we attacked his incon- sistency in that he appeared on his own accord before the Committee of Congress and opposed the repeal of section 27 of the Jones Act, which prohibits a British vessel from car rying freight from Canadian port to an Alaskan port if the freight originated in American territory. This discrimination applies only to Alaska and as consequence the American town of Hyder has splendid weekly service by Cana dian steamers which are not per mitted to carry a pound of freight from Seattle if it be destined to the American side of the line. His inconsistency lay in the fact that altho he opposed the repeal of this discrimination, yet he himself slipped tens of thousands of cases of his canned goods in the very channels which he said should be prohibited.
 The columns of this paper are open to every one. Thinking that Mr. Strong would like to put his views before the citizens of Alaska we approached him and invited him to write an article promising to print it as written. We were cut off short with "No, l won't," anl then followed a flood of abOuse wherein we learned just what we are. "I am surprised, Paul, that a man of your ability should so per vert your intelligence that you seek to tear down all that I have tried to do. You could be a power in this community and help build it up just as I have done. Instead of that, you and other politicians have made a mark of me. That is all the thanks I get. I worked hard. came to this country a poor man. i labored and saved, and l have built this community up to what it is and I have never hurt anybody I had nothing when 1 came here, but by work and saving I have suc~ ceeded in building up this place. Mo- sir. I won't write an article fol you"
 Mo thnn asked him WRnt dOn'f

is only by laying all the facts be- fore the public that we can get the truth"
 "No," he said, 'I cannot under stand how man like you would de- liberately attack me and make state ments that you must know are not true" I at once interjected, "No, MT. Strong. You can question my judgment, or my knowledge of facts, but you cannot attack my honesty or sincerity. And as evidence of my desire to be fair, I again ask you to submit in a single article your en- tire program"
 But again with the set of that determined jaw of his, he said "No" and passed on to view the incoming of the vast fleet of halibut boats that now come to his dock refuting by their very coming in increasing numbers his statement that fisher men will not come to Ketchikan un- less an embargo was placed on Prince Rupert MT. Strong's plan was to compel the halibut men and other fishermen to come to Ketchi- kan by passing law thru Congress forbidding their selling fish in Prince Rupert. We advocated a free open and competitive market Who was right?
 There is no difference in the end which we seek to attain, to-wit, the upbuilding of a bigger and greater nfObil P,,+ o+oi, 4LO1 there is difference in the purpose for which citizens wish it. We wish to attain it only if the greatest measure of prosperity and wealth is distributed among the men who actually create the wealth, that is, the men who fish and toll, facing the uncertainties of storm and perils of the deep. When that object is attained, then, we say, let those who hold real estate, middle men, and others add to their wealth.
 As the most necessary step in this direction we insist that all traps must be abolished, for by so doing we will then distribute among the real producers of wealth the re wards of their labor. Also we will then remove the greatest cause of the depletion of our fisheries.
 Is it true that MT. Strong has hurt nobody? His traps caught hun dreds of thousands of salmon yearly. He embodies and represents the spirit of nearly all Ketchikan can nerymen who continually plan to BUY NO FISH FROM SEWERS. These men would be the last to ad- init driving our resident population away, but they do this very thing and also destroy our fishing streams for fish cannot get past trap that

HERRING

His EXcellency,
 George A. Parks,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 My Dear Governor:
 I am afraid I did not make plain to you in letter of August 1st, that it is a disastrous waste to make any herring into fertilizer. The wanton methods were only cited to show the criminal incompetency, and utter in difference of the trustees of our fisheries of our interests, or the pre- servation of a national asset of priceless value. In view of the fact these herring are the natural feed of our salmon from the time they leave the creeks until their life is completed, the stupidity and eco- homie folly of allowing this prac- tice to continue, is only too apparent.
 Towards the close of the last ses- sion of the Legislature, the crime of making fertilizer of our herring was discussed at some length in the House, and there was practically unanimous approval to pass a law taxing fertilizer so made, $2O per ton, or prohibitive, but it was found probable that the predatory interests would muster enough strength in the Senate to defeat it, and failing that, our "Conservative" Governor would veto it. So the matter was dropped.
 1 trust you will believe we are not unduly prejudiced-without cause
 # 4lo1 of L rI but intimate contact with their man. agement and policy for the past 25 pears warrants the general belief they are hopeless Unless we in sist on a general reorganization of the whole rotten, idiotic system, ele mentary reasoning will show that our fisheries, and our whole eco- homie and social system is doomed. You will find that not single prac- tical constructive or protective idea, or a single helpful act on their part as trustees of our estate, has ever eminated from that source in all that time. Quite the contrary. Their record is record of appalling waste, progressive decrease, and be- trayal of trust. The mere fact that a non-descript weakling, to put it mildly, like O'Malley, ever respon- sive to the Masters" voice, exe>- cises despotic powers over our live lihood and destinies, is revolting to every American instinct. We cannot retain our self-respect, let alone our future welfare, if we allow this sys- tenn to continue.
 You will find that traps have been outlawed in about every prog ressive state, on account of their destructiveneSs to the fisheries. The

A FUTURE FOR
A CITY BAND


Redwood Falls now has boys band,
something that has been neglected
here in former years. In the past
the Redwood Falls City Band has
been. made up of musicians the most
Of whom were trained outside of Red
wood Falls. Such material cannot
be depended upon, for all the most of
them need to do is to close their
packs and move, and when several
people move it almost wrecks the
band The only salvation is to have
group of boys between the ages
OF and II taking work on band in
struments to fill in the places of the
older members as they drop the work
because of business reasons. A
number of the boys now in the Boys
Band will be in the City Band next
winter. This group of boys rehearse
in the city hall from seven to eight
o'clock Monday evenings.
