FORESTRY DEPARTMENT

Citizens of Alaska are realizing more and more that Alaska is in the grip of the Forestry Depart ment If you wish to camp along the beach in southea stern Alaska, you must ask permission from the Forestry Department. If you wish to homestead a piece of land and there is little swamp land in- cluded in your proposed home stead, altho there may not be a single tree thereon, the Forestry Department will refuse to release the land. If you with others have a fox island under permit from the Forestry Department, and if the present heads of that depart ment don't like you, they may reissue the permit and you. will find yourself deprived of your fox farm without recourse.

 Questions
 In answer to questions, MT. Wagner said that the Bureau of Education had asked for $6OO,- 900 for Alaska for the year 1926 from Congress. Of this $12,5O0 would be for the reindeer service and perhaps more. The balance of $45O,OOO would be for education Of this amount one-sixth would be spent in Southeastern Alaska, which division receives more money than any of the other six divisions
 MT. Wagner admitted that Met lakatla had about the same enroll ment as three other towns in south eastern Alaska and that Metlak atla had seven employees against three for the other towns. He would not admit however that there wac oDv discrinoin atiOn He a1So stated that Metlakatla had three years of high school, service not given elsewhere However MT. Wagner said that the Bureau was planning to improve the service at other points. This was we'll received by the delegates.

 THEREFORE BE TT RESOLVED that the Natives here assembled in annual convention protest to the Secretary of Agriculture, to the Chief Forester at Washington, and to the Congress of the United States against this injustice to the end that this form of tyranny which is entirely due to the biased and prejudiced employees of the Forestry Department in Alaska.

MASONIC EMBLEM SAVED
 MANS LIFE

NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 2O.'- How a Masonic emblem once saved the life of white man captured by Chief Sitting Bulls Indians was re- called today with the death of David Weinberg of Brooklyn.
 According to the story, Weinberg was travelling by stage coach to Deadwood, s. D., October 22, 1876. Indians took him prisoner. The red skins told him he would die in the morning. He was taken before Chief Sitting Bull.
 Sitting Bull, so Weinberg's story went, noticed a Masonic watch charm on his prisoner and informed the white captive that he, too, was a Mason.
 Sitting Bull produced a gold Masonic ring bearing the square and compass insignia and gave it to Weinberg as a token of friend ship and released him.

get his logs from the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. When he answered, "What is to prevent me if I want to go in and make my bid?" He was answered, "We will find way to make you sorry" He realized that under our present laws and with our present officials in that department the Forestry Department is the Supreme Law of the Land.
 It is not without reason therefore that the Indians who met in convention at Hydaburg passed resolution protesting against the tyranny of the present heads of the Forest Department witE the hope that the liberty loving people of the United States will demand that hrrn"n beings rather than autocrats be sent to Alaska.
 The resolution speaks for itself and is very mild ito what the real conditions are.
 RESOLUTION in re Forestry
 Department
 .-.There are certain departments of the United States government in Alaska who either are needless or else they are strongly preju- diced against the Indians of Alaska as such. The worst offender in this respect is the FORESTRY DEPARTMENT as at present con- stituted.
 For example: Thru the power given to said department by law, the present officials of the said department have drivHn the Indians of southeastern Alaeka from their homes on many islands. This occurs where the said department gives permits or (eakes granting the entire island to rank outsiders for use as fox farms The clause in serted in the permit by the Forestry Department reserving the rights of Indians living on or using the island is mere pre- tense for in practice it has ALWAYS BEEN HISREGARDED.
 Tn practice the pre- sent employees of the Forestry Department sell dom make an exam nation of the desired island, or else some un- friendly and preiudiced forest ranger is sent to moke an exami- nation. The result is the same, towit; that great wrongs are conn mitted by or with the actual assistance of the United States government. The home of at least

DEATH OF ]. E. PRIEST
ANOTHER REDUCTION IN
ROLL OF OUR PIONEERS

With the death last Thursday af-
ternoon of j. Edward Priest Sr., am
other of the .old-timers of Flagstaff
passed to the Great Beyond. The toll
among the pioneers of this section has
been especially high this winter.
News of Mr.. Priests death reached
The Sun last week just after the
forms were closed for the press.
Therefore not much more than the
fact of his death could be noted in
that issue.
Mr.. Priest had been an invalid since
February, 1913, when he had pneu-
monia; but had been bed-ridden only
at intervals, mostly during the last
few months Last fall he visited Cali
fornia, in the hope that a change in
climate would be beneficial
On the Friday before his death, Mr..
Priest moved to the ranch of one of
his sons, Eddie Priest, "a few miles
east of town. He expressed delight
with the change, but soon was forced
TO take to his bed and steadily grew
worse. He lost consciousness a short
time before his death, which occurred
at 500 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
Joseph Edward Priest was born in
New York city May %, 1859. He
came west to Albuquerque 40 years
ago, and to Flagstaff about 30 years
ago For two or three years he got
out ties under contract with the Ari-
zona Lumber & Timber Co., his camp
being a short distance west of the site
of Lake Mary, which then had not
been built. Later he entered mercan-
tile business here. At different times
following that he had wire contracts
with the telegraph company and a
land clearing contract at Blythe,
Calf During the last several years
he had been county court interpreter.
Mr. Priest was married in Santa

SMALL JUDGMENT FOR
WADE IN SMITH SUIT

Jury in the $51 ZOO damage case of
Harry Wade against D. D. Smith on
Friday night turned in verdict for
the plaintiff of $4,000 and jury cost,
the latter amounting to S270. The
case, the climax of the shooting OF
Wade by Smith on the steps of the
pool hall owned by Wade's brother,
Charlie Wade, in Williams, year
ago last Christmas, was prefaced
several months ago by Smiths trial,
which resulted in acquittal.
Following the announcement of the
verdict Friday night, G. B. Wilson, at
torney for Smith, gave notice of mo-
ton to have the verdict set aside; his
grounds partly the form of the YER
dict, which after assessing the dam
ages recited the cause of the assess
ment, ''for carelessly handling pis-
toll which was accidentally discharged
and wounded the plaintiff, Harry
Wade"
The jury, of which Ed Babbitt was
foreman, also recommended to the
Judge that Smith be given ample
time in which to pay.

1t is true that Governor Hunt
strongly intimated in his last special
Spanking" message to the state
solons that he would soon call them
back to Phoenix. But his going away
Just before legislature adjourned and
staying away until most of the mem-
bers had left town, is taken as an IN
dication that he never wants to see
them again.
His measure, introduced during the
last days of the session, to g-ve the
state road department-his personal
political machine-the handling CT ap-
proximately five and half million
dollars, much Of which was to be tax
en- from county control, failed of pas
sage. It left the state highway de-
partment in debt and for the time be-
ing without money to meet federal aid
on various projects. This leaves the
governor in a dilemma. He may decide
to meet federal aid from money to be-
come available to the highway de-
partment. If he does, his state high
way department machine will be pref
ty well deprived Of grease. He may
on the other hand feel that he can IN
duce the legislature to appropriate for
the state highway department suffi-
cient funds to justify calling the ex-
ira session. Apparently just now he's
up stump and don't know what IN
thunder to do.
The reason the state highway de.
partment bill, with five and a half
million dollars to control, failed, was
because it took money that now goes

CHURCH SUNDAY TO BE
OBSERVED BY FEDER-
ATED ON MARCH 20

The Federated church is planning
an extensive campaign of the town in
an effort to reach all protestants and
urge them to go to church on Sum
day, March 20.
This week and next 40 men and
women viii make visits to the homes
of the townspeople. Window cilrds
with the slogan, Lets go to church
Sunday, March 20" viii be given to
everyone for display.
Everywhere throughout America the
habit of having a go to church Sum
day sometime during the year, usually
in spring, is becoming more and more
popular, while newspapers in every
town are devoting many columns OF
valuable news space to church ac-
tivities.
The answer simply is people are
becoming more interested in church
life. Church is becoming as neces-
sarv to men as their sports and busi-
ness. 1t looks as if anyone who does
not go to church has become a back
number.
The local effort will be managed
by T. o. Bellwood, Ray Simpson, Wal
ter Thompson and Austin Brown, who
viii each supervise the activities OF
ten teams, and on the Sunday resig-
mated will make a flying trip by auto
to over 200 homes with the invitation
to 90 eto church and will take to
church all who wish conveyance.
The Sun urges all to go to any one
or several of the five local churches
and make this "Go to Church Sun
day" a real success. The Catholic, the
Protestant Episcopal, The Disciples OF
Christ, the Colored Baptist and the
Federated church are the five repre-
sentatives Of christian effort in Flag
staff.

HIRAM CLUB LISTENS TO
INSTRUCTIVE SPEAKERS

At the regular meeting Of the Flag
staff Hiram club Friday, the princi-
pal speaker was Rev. II. f. S0ftley,
who spoke for several minutes on
education He made d splendid adj
dress, outlining the progress Of edu-
cation down through the ages, the eff
feet education has upon the nations Of
the earth in their social and political
standing, showing that education alone
will and is bringing the nations OF
Europe back out Of the chaos wrought
by the World war. He advanced the
theory that with the progress Of edu-
cation, law enforcement and order
come naturally to a nation or CONF
munity.
Ed Oldham was chairman Of the
day and while disappointed in one
of his numbers presented a very en-
tertaining program.
c. t. Pulliam presented the present
status of the proposed waterworks
improvements for Flagstaff and said
that indications are that there will be
quite a number Of bids on the work
SO worded as to require starting the
work about the middle of April
A resolution protesting against the
transfer of money appropriated to the
Maine-Grand Canyon road to other
projects was presented and a commit
tee consisting of Judge f. W. Perz-
ins, Tom L. Rees and j. L. McIlwalne
was appointed to draw up the reso-
luton and forward it to the proper
authorities.
Chairman Oldham said that since
the forestry department would pro
hibit grazing to greater extent year
by year on the watersheds Of the San
Francisco mountains it behooved all
good citizens to use more care and in
every way assist the department in
preventing forest fires in that section
as with no grazing the fire hazard
would become more dangerous.

HOLBROOK GETS A BIG
BOOST IN MOVING OF
NI'NARY LUMBER PLANT

Supplementing the report in The
Sun last week that the w. M. Cady
Lumber Co. VIII move its lumber yard,
planning mill and box factory from
McNary to HoIbrook, the Holbrook
Tribune says:
"The w. NJ. Cady Lumber company
will move most of it's plant here with
in the next few months. This an
nouncement was made last Friday al
ternoon at McNary by Mr.. Cady to
a delegation of Holbrook business
men and other residents Of the town.
It has been definitely decided and
plans for the location of the big plant
are now under way.
"Mr. Cady stated that after the box
factory, planning mill and ether build
ings had been erected, they would
build large lumber mill here, should
matters now under consideration ma
terialize, meaning that should the
company secure a large block Of tim
Der that is being advertised by the
Sitgreaves forest department IN the
vicinity of Pinedale and Heber.
"Mr Cady stated that within the
next 60 days they would have at least
a couple hundred men engaged In con-
structing the plant here. The change
would mean practically throwing
away half million dollars worth of
buildings and other things. The cause
for the removal of the plant to Hol-
brook is that lumber will not dry at
McNary. He said they had a large lot
of lumber which had been cut last
October and which is not dry enough
yet to plane. Thus they are compelled
to move the plant to point where
the lumber viii dry. 1t has been fig
ured out by the government that
there are in Holbrook $40 drying days
q year, while at McNary the number
is cut down to 140. To make a lum.
ber proposition profitable it is neces.
sary that it dry more rapidly.
A large building for the lumber
will be Immediately erected, the size
being about $50 feet by 300. This vii
be among the first structures erected
A large planning mill and box factory
will follow. When asked by the edi
tor of the. Holbrook Tribune if they

sole control of the state department;
also because almost every section OF
the state tried to ride through on the
bill with some pet side appropriation.
The state appropriation for $780,
600 for a bridge over the Colorado
river at Lee Ferry, to meet z like ap-
preparation made a few weeks ago by
congress, died with the highway bill,
with which it was included. Both CO.
conino c0unty's representative Sena-
tor Walter Runke and Assemblyman
Harry Embach, in substance told the
proponents Of the bill to go to he'll.
They refused to be bribed to vote for
The exorbitant and unreasonable state
igaway bill in order to get the $780,
coo fo] the bridge.
In this G.ey did exactly right. It
was a price too high to pay. We can
much better afford to wait.
On the whole, while The legislature
passed no high-cass legislation OF
note, except the new live stock code,
which became a law without the gov
ernor's signature, it passed no bad
legislation. There were numerous
conflicting elements that made for
lack of good nature and toward the
end good deal Of hard feeling had
developed among some of the mem
bers. The state highway department
and administration whips were sore,
of course, and didn't hide it. The
legislature was overwhelmingly demo-
cratic, but it was by no means sub
servient to the democratic governor.
In no case was the governor able to
stampede the solons either for or
against a measure.
