EDUCATE SMALL HERRING TASTE

Aside from the question of possible depletion of AL aska herring by utilizing the undersized fish for fertilizer oil and fish meal there is another feature in connection with the industry which must be dealt with later ThiS is the question of whether it is sound economically to discard unstable the smaller fish while preparing only the most choice for marketing.
 Were this principle applied in all lines of commerce 1t would eventually mean bankruptcy In this case if it Is allowed to continue 1t the eventual desrcton of herring The California Fruit Growers association and the United Fruit company, handling citrus and decdious fruits and the other controlling the banana in dsty and two of the largest marketing agencies in the United States would not think of scrappng understood fruit would the rule apply with respect to farm products It is true that the American taste has been educated to demanding the best yet it is true that the ast majority of of staples is satisfied to buy according to strength of purse. Hence undersized edi nier class that there is sale for these commodities This has been the claim of the herring packers.
 The condition obtained with respect to the oys CTS of the Atlantic coast before population increased to where the demand sounded warning It only after millions of tons of small shell oysters had been dredged ut and burned for fertilizer that steps taken erve the supply against depletion. Now there are few rec beds In the Oysterbeang waters of the South Atan ic coast
 The people of the North Pacific coast were satisfied 1th the small Olympia oysters until became fashion ble to have New York counts the table, yet Olympia ysters are still consumed in large quantities.
 It would seem more logical for the herring interests
 take leaf from past history and revert to the system tpacmg upon the market all sizes of fish, give the rank nd file chance by giving lower prices for smaller fish, stead of making of this great staple luxury only ob
 unable by those able to for the choicest of all things
 the market As fish no longed sold by the bunch It by the pound, 1t matters not whether a herring eghs quarter or a half pound and sx-inch herring stes as good if not better than the larger size.

Red Cross Life-Savi1lg
Service Is Nation Wide

Scarcity OF water apparently has
no effect on interest In water rescue.
Arizona, popularity associated with
wide desert stretches and cactus, has
gone in with enthusiasm for the Red
Cross IAfe-Saving program.
The building of new irrigation
dams is rapidly transforming Arizona
into swimming State despite popu-
lar conception OF. that country.
In more than 800 swimming insti-
tutes conducted by the Red Cross the
last summer. life-saving instruction
was given by the Red Cross.
During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1925 7,145 men, 5,4O8 women, and
1918 juniors passed the rigid tests
OF the Red Cross Life Saving Service,
and were awarded insignia. The to-
tai for the year OF 1926 represents
an increase Of 6,S74 over the previous
year. The total membership OF this
corps at the close OF the year was
1O2, 076.

very acute after the Primary election in 1924. A bunch of Federal officials and hangers on Democrats sought to nom- mate a Republican ticket in the First division, and lost out in every instance. They then turned their attention to defeating that ticket and rais- ed the Indian question to such an extent that the average vot- CT began to fear almost for his life, and hundreds were persuaded that safety and re- lief could only be secured by the defeat of the Republican ticket. And the great victory of these marauders was the election of one member of the House.
 One of the most disgruntled fighters in that campaign was the Governor. He gave some semblance of substantiability to the racial issue and per suaded most of the Federal Brigade to follow him in knif- ing Dan Sutherland and all other candidates on the Re- publican ticket. To-day Dele gate Sutherland stands forth as Alaska's foremost and honored citizen.

 But, notwithstanding the ed ucational advantages that the Natives have had for these many years past, the subsidiz- ed press and the Dem.- m.-Rep. political junkers send broad cast their false and malicious islander that illiterate Indians are running the affairs of the Territory. They warn the world against coming to Alas ka because the political condi- tions here are so dangerous that the only safety lies in the formation of a White Mans Party to drive the "Illiterates" from the throne of power.
 Yet these same Lily Whites are ever ready and willing up on the least 'provocation to denounce any law-abiding man who even dares intimate that there is bootlegging going on in Southeastern Alaska and that some mighty important gentlemen have been connect ed with it. Of course the court records will frequently prove this to be truism, but that is ignored by the slander- CTS who seek to bring forth a racial question and alarm the people in the states who may contemplate coming north to reside.

INDIANS AND EDUCATION
By Will A. Steel

z hear this contemptible talk of "One thousand illiterate In- 'dians" running the affairs of the Territory of Alaska. And particularly so after all these years of effort and millions of dollars expended in educating thousands of young Natives.
 With an Indian population of less than 25,000 the only wonder is that more of the competent and literate Indians do not avail themselves of casting ballots at our elections. At no time has any attempt been made to induce men or women of the Native element who could not read or write, to cast their ballots.
 The Alaska Native Brother hood is composed in the var ious camps of men who would be credit to any public gath ering. They seek to inform themselves on the questions of the day and they have a broad and comprehensive viewpoint that permits them to grasp conditions and issues even more readily than many of the white organizations. They are the kind who ask WHY?
 Many of the young men and women who have grown up the age of maturity have re- ceived a good common school education, that has been afford- ed them thru the efforts of the government. And many have also attended higher seats of learning in the States. But the matter of voting has been something new to them and they have been somewhat re- ticent about availing themselves of the privilege which is now theirs as much so as it is the Lily Whites, who vote on orders.
 The records show that for the 1924-25 school year there were 2,822 white pupils enroll led in the Y schools of in- corporated towns and 1,28O in the mixed schools outside in- corporated towns. This makes a total of 4,102, but slightly more than the 3,979 pupils en- rolled in the 85 Native schools, with 154 teachers employed, inc111dinU S11nerintendents and
