A DAYS
WALK
-Wnh jim RING

While solmen speakers inveigh
against class hatred and racial
predujice. a story like the fol-
lowing, told by q recent speaker
at a Rotary Club luncheon in the
Willard, will do much more
toward showing the public how
ridiculous it all Is:
An enterprising merchant In q
Southern town, to capitalize upon
the prejudices Of the toWnspepole,
one day displayed on the front
OF his store d huge sign, reading:
am 100 per cent American.
/ hate Catholics, Jews and colored
people,"
A new competitor had just es-
tabIished himself in business
across the street from the go
getter's store and. observing the
throngs going into his rivals
place, asked native to explain
this commercial phenomenon.
ooh, I see-the sign, eh?" he
commented, when wisdom had
been poured upon him. well,
he can't trump me! Watch my
smoke!"
And the next day, from the
store front Of the new merchant,
there hung a sign even larger
than the other. It read:
II am 200 per cent American.
/ hate everybody
A plague upon these local an.
clients, say we, who insist upon
remembering, to visitors, when
pigs ran around on Pennsylvania
avenue; when the inhabited Sec
ton of North Capitol street was
a damp, malarial center, and
when the city was a sordid den
of local politics.
Why don't they leave the past
to itself, as far as visitors are
concerned, we ask, and tell these
strangers instead of the new Ar
lington Memorial bridge, of the
proposed park treatment of Penn
syIVania avenue, of the public
utilities merger that Wen have
some day and of the plans that
will make Washington the ma

BIRCH TIMBER DESIRED FOR
 VENEER WORK
FOREST SERVICE RECEIVES IN QUIRlES; DEVELOPMENT IS
 FORcAST IN FUTURE

Exploitation of the birch forests in the vicinity of the westward is likely to be the outcome of recent activity in this direction. An inquiry has been received at headquarters of the Gnu zach national forest from Willing &s Company, Seattle timber exporters, asking to be put in touch with an Alaskan firm which will secure birch for veneer manufacturing.
 The greater part of the birch in the territory is in the Susitna valley, trib- utary to the Alaskan railroad. It is known to be equal to the New Eng land birch for making veneers. A small amount of furniture has been turned out from it and the govern ment railroad has substituted birch entirely for flooring on it's trains.
 John E. Ballaine of Seward has a large birch concession to the west ward and is arranging at the present time with Seattle and San Francisco firms to take 5OO,OOO feet a year.

LAST GAME OF BASKETBALL AT
 GYM TONIGHT
VISITORS AND LOCALS CLASH FOR LAST TIME TONIGHT-
 BIG CROWD EXPECTED

The prevailing opinion among local basketball fans is that tonight, the final game between Anchorage and Seward, will see the fast young Inlet athletes come out in front. On the other hand there are many who think that Seward will clean up the Anchorage can be depended upon to send over another team, selected from the three-cornered league, con- posed of the high school, the city and the soldiers, in an attempt to win back their lost laurels, for with the second defeat of the Anchorage ag- gregation last night, Seward came into her own once again, and are once more, the champs of South western Alaska. Anchorage defeat ed them last season.
 Contrary to general belief, instead of Seward journeying over to Anch- orage, inasmuch as Seward has won the local series, another representa- tive team from the Inlet metropolis should be sent here to play off an- other series. At least that is the average thought of local fans Hav- ing as few players as there are it is doubtful if Seward could send over the same team which is now under fire, and other players, con- ing up to the present standard, are not available in the town.
 The attending throng at last nights game was considerably larger than the afternoon previous. Excitement is running rampant and tonight, the final game is expected to bring out the biggest crowd of the three games. The management of the s. A. c. is in receipt of many compliments with reference to comfortable seating and warmth of the gym. Good views of the game is available from every seat location. The game will start at 8 o'clock tonight A few changes in the lineups are expected.

The Gene, a gas boat belonging to Eric Nestos, is once more afloat after having met with disaster. MT. Nestos left the craft tied up at the ocean dock and went up town. Upon his return all that was to be seen of the boat was the hawser. Apparently something had come between it and the float and pushed hole in the bottom, after which the vessel filled and sank.

DAN SUTHERLAND
 MAKES SPEECH WRANGELL TOWN
DISCUSSES THE FISHERIES STU ATlON AT LENGTH-DE-
 NOUNcES DEPT. COMMERCE

Delegate Dan Sutherland spoke at Wrangell about two weeks ago, says the Sentinel of recent date. The house was packed, in addition to many white persons the attendance of na- tives being unusually large.
 He considered the game and fish bills the most important legislation enacted. and expressed belief that the White bill is as good a measure as could be passed. It is identical with the British Columbia laws and with those of a number of the States, as we'll as other fishing countries. He declared that any criticism of the operation of the White bill should be directed against the administrative powers and not against the White Bill itself
 Regarding the proposed spacing of traps one and one-half miles apart, Mr. Sutherland said that the law pro- vides that there shall be a space of only 500 yards between traps. He ad- vised those who might be injured by the proposed regulations to take their case into court and learn whether the laws of Congress or the Commissioner of Fisheries is supreme. In his opin- ion the spacing and driving out of re- gently driven traps would constitute the establishment of exclusive or sev- eral fishery rights which is forbidden by the White Act Independent fish ermen, he said should unite in pro- test against regulations which place the entire burden of conservation on the portable gear operators and do not attempt to reduce the efficiency of the large fixed appliances.
 Mr. Sutherland is opposed to any attempt to place an embargo on hali- but landed by American fishing yes sells at Canadian port. He quoted statistics that had been presented to the tariff board at the recent hear ing in Seattle by representatives of the commercial bodies at Ketchikan which showed the unsual prosperity that has come to Ketchikan during the four years that the tariff on hali- but has been in effect and the fisher men selling their fares in the open competitive market at Prince Rupert During these four years the increase of business in Ketchikan as indicated by bank deposits, etc., was apprOXi mately 100 per cent The effort to close the port of Prince Rupert he characterized as supreme selishness on the part of a few business men at Ketchikan.
 The Indians, he held, are the only organized element in Alaska that fights for human rights in the fisher ies. He believed the whites should join with the Indians to prevent inde- pendent fishermen of all races being peonized by the cannery interests. Congressman Free of California said tha the could "see nothing for the poor man in Alaska but to work for the corporations" and the Department of Commerce is assiduously working to bring that condition about, declared MT. Sutherland
 'The Indians in their organized eff fort to resist discriminatory fishing regulations are bearing the white mans burden to a certain degree. They are the most exploited people in all Christendom and an all conquer ing and superior race should render service to humanity by defending and protecting the weaker race"
