 ! REINDEER E

W. T. Lopp, former chief of the Alaska Division of the U. s. Bureau uI Hducalion upon returning to Se- attle reported that after a fifteen months investigation of Bafinland it was unsuitable for grazing land for reindeer.
 MT. Lopp is in the employ of the Hudson Bay Co. which had stocked the island five years ago with 500 reindeer. MT. Lopp found that the deer had died of starvation or had been killed by wolves.
 MT. Lopp left Seattle early in July last year. When the vessel PAyeskimo was wrecked last year le was stranded on the ice for 16 hours before he was rescued and taken to Baffinland.

SALVATION ARMY DAY NURSERY

One of the most extensive pieces of Welfare Work ever undertaken iE Petersburg is that which Capt. and Lieut.. McEckren of the Salva- tion Army are doing in behalf of the native children whose mothers work in the shrimp cannery.
 Their Day Nursery is composed of nine babies, ranging from one to four years of age. These children are brought to the nursery about 6: 30 a. m. where they are cared for until about 500 pm. or sometimes later. Each receives all the atten- tion a mother could give child and has the benefit of a we'll governed home. Besides the care of these younger children, these two women have taken on the added work and responsibility of serving hot lunches to the school kiddies whose parents cook lunch for them.
 At present the entire responsibili- ty and expense is carried by Capt. Kenny and Lieut.. McEckron as they

PENSIONS

A report from Washington just made public showing the interest in old age pension legislation. Ken lucky is the latest States State to such a law Other States are con- sidering the subject. Tn Oregon the past election an old-age pension bill was voted upon.
 Montana, Nevada, Wisconsin and Alaska preceded Kentucky in auth orizing this method of caring for aged dependents. In Massachusetts, Virginia and Indiana official com missions have reported in favor of establishing old-age pensions by law, but the legislators have not yet taken any action in the matter. New York recently appointed joint le- gislative committee with an appro- priation of s5,O00 to survey and re- port upon tn situation of the aged poor in the State. Similar commis- s;ons were appointed in 1925 by Colorado and Minnesota.

 CARNIVAL

The Parent-Teachers Association of Petersburg put on very success full Carnival in the Sons of Norway Hall on the evening of October 30. The total receipts amounted to $258. One hundred and seventy-eig of which were netted by the booths alone, the balance of which were from door receipts and the jitneq dance. Altho the expenses have not as yet been paid, the committee hopes to clear approximately.
 The program consisted of a trio cmposed of MT. and Hrs Schoettler and Bert Elstad; a clown dance cleverly executed by Miss Eloise Lickens and Miss Morrow; a selec- tior by the ladies chorus; a vocal duet by Mrs. Andrew Johnson and MfS. .. JOndnSOn.
 Miss MacKecknie, as Madam x abl foreto1d the future to all who ed to listen, while any one who so desired might have his picture taken at the Red Cross Booth. The other usual attractions of a real carnival netted big results and kept the crowd in an uproar. The clitt- zeps turned out loally and are to complimented upon their liberal pa trouage.
 The committee in charge ci tue gre to be congratulated uut1 tbe success of tae whole affair.

It was recently announced from Washinton that about 80 subpoenas for witnesses have been issued at the instance of the House manag- CTS in the trial of George w. Eng fish for the Eastern Districe of H. linois, on articles of impeachment adopted by the House of Repre- s<nt ntatives. The homes of witness Is subpoened has not been made public. It has been stated that J. Hamilton Lewis will be counsel for for defense.
 It has not been the custom in the more recent impeachment trials to make reimbursement for expenses ether thon for witnesses and ex- penses of the representatives of U. S. marshals in servin subpoenas. It was pointed out that in the trial of Charles Swane, Judge of the North ern District of Florida, Congress ap- priated $1O,0O of which onl $6,80O was expended and that in pament of the United States Marshals office through which the subpoenas are hahdled The balance of that fund being returned to the U. s.

The rturns for the First Division todate give the Republican candi7 dates in the First Division made a clean sweep at the election polls on Tuesday the 2nd. Delegate Suth- erland was returned to Congress and without the need of any Indian votes. The representation that he he owes obligations to William. Paul and his 1000 illiterate votes' is knocked into a cooked hat. The victory is complete vindication of the record of Delegate Sutherland and a repudiation of the 'Indepen- d:nt" party. The work and effort of Delegate Sutherland during the past six years is the will and the wish of a decisive majority of Alas kans. He stood on his record and promised the electorate that if re-, turned to Congress he would contin- ue the effort of the past. With tho entire press of the Territory against him, the majority of electors in no

BIOLOGICAL SURVEY TAXES ISSUE

Our attention has been called to an article entitled Protests Tax an the Fox Ranchers," which appeared In the Alaskan on August 27, 1926 This article criticises unjustly the Biological Survey for matters relat- ing to fur farming over which it has no jurisdiction.
 The majority of taxes on fur farm CTS in Alaska are levied by the Ter r:torial Government and not the Federal Government The Territor- i.I Government imposes license
 or fur farmers (fee $1O) and in ad- dition requires Territorial license tax to be paid on all belts sold. Li-
 cense fees for tht pelts taken by fur
 farmers are prescribed by Chapter |Sa of the laws of 1923, an act to impose a license tax on the business
 of fur-farming and trading in pels
 and skins of fur-bearing animals. Tn addition blue-fox farmers are rt- qulred to register a brand, fee, SIC. tnr marking blue foxes and skin
 of blue foxes. This was imposed
 by an act of the Territorial Govern Il, 1923.
 The new Alaska Game Law of
 January 13, 1925, enacted by Con-
 eress requires persons wishing to
 conduct fur farms or to possess fur
 animals for propagation to obtain license, fee, $2. This is the only tax imposed upon fur farmers with which the Biological Survey is di- rectly concerned. This license is not an unjust tax and the fee of $2. is not exhorbitant. Forty-one States in the United States require fur farmers to obtain licenses and the fee ranges from $1. to $25.
 Your attention is also invited to the fact that 50 percent of all li- cense fees is turned into the Terri torial school fund as miscellaneous receipts. Federal appropriations to- taling approximately $75,000 are available this eyar for the enforce lnent of the Alaska Game Law, not 10 mention the sums available for other conservation projects in the Territory. The fees for leasing and lrenting land in Alaska for fur farm ling should not be confused with li-
 cense fees and taxes paid on belts. lThe Federal Government has juris- Idiction over renting and leasing
 land for fur farming and other pur-
 poses but the Biological Survey
 plays very minor part in these matters, only ten islands and the
 Aleutian Islands Reservation being
 administered by the Bureau. The
 Forest Survice has charge of islands within National Forests, and under
 the Act of July 3, 1926, the Gen. Ieral Land Office will have charge of the leasing of public lands fol fur. farming purposes.

, It is stated in the article that De- partment Bulletin No. 1850, Blue fox Farming in Alaska" advises not to bu island blue foxes for the reason that they will not produce their kind in captivity. No such statement appears in the bulletin referred to. On the contrary it sug- gests that, since the number of islands availabse for fox ranching | i'll the business should determine as quickly as possible whether blue foxes might be produced successful ly in pens. The Bureau encourages raising blue foxes in pens for the reason that intelligent breed inn rrovement can only be made when blue foxes are kept in pens and ab solute control is exercised over breeding operations.
 The Biological Survey has con tinuously informed fox farmers of the advantages to be derived from organization and has on every oc- casion encouraged fox farmers to organize associations to foster their cause and as a result four b1ue-fox breeders associations were formed in the Territory in 1922.
 The production of martens and Ininks in captivity is more or less of an apartment and not practical business undertaking. Martens have been kept for long periods of years in captivity but in the major l. ity of cases failed to produce young. Only in few eceptional instances have breeders been successful in their attempts to produce and raise filters of these fur bearers in capti- vity. The gestation period has not yet been definitely proven. We do
 know, however, that martens kept in captivity breed in July and Aug ust and whelp young in April. Whether or not any breeding takes place between July and April has not yet been determined. Many
 martens, although advertised for
 sale as ranch-raised animals, are really trapped in the wild. If these
 animals could be raised in sufficient ly large numbers, a good profit
 might be realized, since the belts
 bring much higher prices on the
 raw-fur market than some of the
 ether smaller fur bearers, the pro-
 duction of which costs as much as
 rrartens.
 Minks are not difficult to raise in
 captivity. The animals breed and produce young regularly when. fed
 and handled properly. They are
 very prolific and produce 6, 2, and
 8 to the litter. The cost of the
 equipmnt, feed. and labor required
 in mink farming is so great that it
 is questionable whether the animals

undecided terms showed their ap- preciation his efforts to continue the fight. The reelection is the ac- quittal of the charge of the "de- famation of the good name of Alas ka. The reelection is the wish of the majority for a cleanup of Ter ritorial palitical affairs that have s, unk to high heaven for a number of years.
 The election is over. The will of the majority is his return to Con will not be hindered and blocked through selfish interes of political ana quasi-political organizations. The united effort of the entire cleo torate behind his effort as their re- pvcsentative will mean the more successful confusion of his labor in Washington for Alaska.
 Speaking for ourselves and for other friends we offer to the Hon. Dan A. Sutherland our congratula- tions for his sweepink victor.
