The Alaska fisherman., 1925-03-15

March 26, 1923, when Senator Hunt was travelling on the West Coast taking pictures for the Pacific Fisherman, he was on the dock of the cannery where DeGelder was superintendent. A Norwegian told him that DeGelder got after him because he had caught no fish so the fisherman said, q can get some fish, I know where to get some fish," Supt.: 'Then get the fish," Fisherman: "But who will take care of me if I get into trouble ?" Supt.: "We will see that you are not hurt" So the fisherman went into the creek and got a load and had just come in when MT. Hunt spoke to him.
 In order to enforce the laws, there must be full cooperation of fishermen and cannerymen.

 Therefore Be It Resolved that we ask the Territory of Alaska, through it's legislature and the United States Government to see to it that the natives of Alaska be provided with a fully manned and equipped school system, and also in addition thereto that Industrial or Occupational schools like that of Chemawa be established in each of the four di- visions of Alaska.

INDIAN GETS TROUSERS
 8 FEET AROUND WAIST

MAYFIELD, Ky, Noble Harris, d clothing salesman, has sent an or der to his company for what is re- puted to be the largest pair of trousers ever sold by any clothing manufacturer. The trousers were ordered by an Indian chief in Okla homa, and the waistline measured ninety-six inches.
 The chief has been a customer of MT. Harris for several years, but he has gained several inches in the last few months.

EDUCATION
What the Natives Plan

QayS on the subject Of schools, wherein the effort is made to make the White people feel that Indian children with contagious diseases, sores, filth and dirt are to be forced into the public schools generally for a chance to sit in the same seat with some lovely girl or even to the time when the degenerate shall as- pire to marry the beautiful angel child, 1t is we'll to consider what the Natives themselves are saying about schools.
 Students of history know that their statement in the first para graph is correct. That whereas the United States purchased the Louisi- ana Territory from France, never theless the United States has fol- lowed the policy of buying the lands actually held by the Indians from the different Indian Tribes. In this way the Sioux Indians, Nezperce, Chippewas and others have felt sat isfied that the United States was not robbing them of their property. Millions of dollars have been paid cut in this way all in addition to the price paid France. The parallel in Alaska is strong, for like the case of the Louisiana purchase the United States paid Russia for AL aska, but unlike the former case the lands and other rights which the Alaska natives had were never paid for, although their property right is just as strong as in the case of other Indian tribes whose lands have been purchased.
 In this resolution the Natives of Alaska point out this fact and in sist therefore that inasmuch as the United States has not paid for these rights which have been taken from them, therefore the Alaska Native has the right to demand adequate provision be made by the govern ment to educate the Indian children in this Territory, and that occupa- tional schools like Chemawa and others be established in each of the four divisions of Alaska The h. dians as a class do not wish to go to the Territorial schools, but they insist that they have a right to do so, and naturally resent the opposi- tion which refuses even the very pick of the Indian race when that little one approaches the great pub lie school and asks for admission on the same terms as are granted to Whites, Negroes, Japs and Chinese.
 RESOLUTION
 During the history of Alaska the natives have never asked for any special benefits, nor have they asked for pay for the vast lands and other rights which these natives houo c,,rrorJorod Alec ;p +I,o fooo

BAcKUs AND HIS DAMS.

From every section of the state
protests are being voiced against the
granting of the application of the
Fort Francis Pulp and Paper Co. for
the construction Of system Of IL
dams on the International boundary.
From every angle, the proposition
presents mighty steal on the part
Of the Company. Not content with
denuding the country affected of
forest of every kind on this side of
the border, the proposition is now
to rob the settlers along the lake
shores from BURNSIDE Lake, Bass
wood and other lakes directly in our
line of vision, of their shore rights
and practically ruin the Superior
National Forest of its outing and
recreation possibilities besides ruin
ing the fish and game paradise OF
the section.
The people have BECOME aroused
over the E. w. Backns engineered
scheme. Backus when appraised of
the fact that his scheme had de-
veloped opposition, laughed and
said shat all damages done would
be paid for besides that no applica-
ton of that nature had been fled"
The application has been filed and
in regards to payment Of damages
for flooded lands and timber. the at
titude of Backus on the damage
claims in the Kettle Falls basin can
be cited. We are reliably informed
that not one cent has been paid the
poor people ruined in that section
although the courts have deciled in
their favor.
Committees have been named in
all parts of the state to look into
the matter and 60 before the COM

With the revision of the postal rates two
months ago several changes were made which
are hard to understand. Several of the news
papers of the state have been trying to fig
ure out the inconsistencies of the whole affair
and some have become quite heated in con-
domination. Some of the absurdities of the
new rates are shown.
For instance, if you desire to send a
magazine to friend at Winton, and it
weighs 8 ounces at the new rate it will come
to cents, but if the magazine weighs twice as
much, full pound, you can send it to the
same friend for z CENTS cents postage and
2 cents service charge.
Meanwhile as the foreign postage rates
remain unchanged you can send an ounce
magazine to London, Capetown or Singapore,
half way around the world, for cents, ex-
actly half the cost of sending it to Winton, a
distance of six miles.
Most American magazines weigh more
than ounceS-Some weigh more than a
pound If you wish to send one weighing i
pound and one ounce to Warsaw, Berlin or
Rome, the postage will be cents. But, if
you want to send the same magazine to
Chicago the postage will Ibe Ia cents, or to
San Francisco, "a cents.
If you desire to register a letter to Bonn
bay, India, you must pay 10 CENTS cents
postage and 10 cents registrationSfee But if
you register one to Tower, you must pay II
cents-2 cents postage and 15 cents registra-
ton fee. Distance of % miles.
More yet. Under the old rates it cost 10
cents to register a letter, and if you wanted
receipt you simply wrote Receipt request
ed on the envelope. Now the cost is 15
cents for any letter, however, small the money
value of its contents, and if you want a re-
ceipt you must pay an additional 8 cents, or
18 cents in all. Meanwhile seeds, scions
plants, cutting, bulbs and roots are still be-
ing carried at the old rate of two ounces for
a cent. You may thus send an onion to the
Philippines for cent, but if you desire to-
send a picture postcard to Governor Chris
tianson, you must now pay, not cent, but 2
cents III u go

ship, always alert for the good of the COM
munity, to keep Tuesday, next, August 25, in
calls, to get onto the American Legion En-
dowment Fund Honor Roll. Save a few dol
lars, or as much as you feel able to give to
such a worthy object and have it ready for

of those who gave their all are worthy of this

sired quota and over the top as far as possible.

Ten pairs of Chinese pheasants have been
liberated on the Superior National Forest as
nucleus towards stocking the Forest with
these handsome game BIRDS The birds were
released near the Halfway on the Ely-Fmland
road and travellers have on frequent occasions
caught glimpse of the birds in passing
These birds were secured and planted by the
IZaak Walton League, which organization is
also arranging for securing car load of elk
from Montana for the Forest for stocking pur-
poses. Elk have been stocked in the Itasca
State Park in Minnesota and are doing well,
much better by, reason of abundant winter
and summer food, than they are doing in Mon
tana What we want to get at in our edit
orial comment is, that the poacher with his
gun, lay off the pheasants now, and the elk
when they come A list of in-and-out-o f-season
hunters is being compiled by the game war
dens and members of the League. Don't try
to alibi yourself with the statement, Il
thought it was grouse. So far there have
been no grouse seen in that section of the
country. Grouse stick around near farming
and cleared sections These pheasants will
be in the forest.

A Milwaukee artist blew out his brains
because he said "this world is too noisy for
me-" This is surely an effective way for
stopping noises but kind of hard on the per-
be used not on the innocent bystander but on
the maker of the offensive noises. We sug-
gest that it be tried on the driver of the car
who races up and down Harvey Street at 2
A. M. with his eut-out wide open; or the
hotorcyclist who tears along the streets with
his explosive machine-gun accompaniment.
Then there is the fellow who says "is it hot
enough for you and the fellow who peddles
the gossip and the town "crab" who knocks"
everybody and everything. The classified
ton of offensive noises can be further aug
mented by the addition Of cow bells in the
city limits and the fellow who smashes noisy
holes in the atmosphere by turning in fire
alarms every time he sees bright light.

The drunken car driver continues to hold
first place in the list of dangerous damphools
and for destructiveness has the man with the
gun backed off the boards. There is some
chance of getting away from the sight-distort-

of escaping the moonshine loaded driver of
car. The smoothly working scheme of
things slips cog insofar as the loaded driver
is concerned. He never kills himself, but woe
to anyone who comes within his blearyeyed
vision. This fellow should be picked up and
taken out of circulation just as he is stepping
into the car and before he starts on his ramp

In the passing this week of Captain Mar
tin Trewhella and Capt. Harry Tregillis, two
picturesque characters are removed from
mining circles. Both men were of the old
school of Cornish miners; men who gave much
toward the mining development of the country
ing districts Their efforts were not alone
confined to the ranges stated but the silver
mines of several districts, the copper country
and mines in Nova Scotia and Mexico have
felt the presence of these men of the fast
dwindling type of which only few are left
and in the harness. They will be missed, not
only from mining circles but by staunch
friends made during their eventfu and his
tory-making careers. Their home towns, Hib-
bling and Eveleth, will also mourn the loss of
two excellent citizens
