 We contended then that It made all the dlnerence whose OK was gor- ed and on whose side the Indlans voted. A case in point. $
 Proponents of the bond issue Il Wrangell declared last tall that vii. nam Paul dictated the voting ot the indians. When they found that op- position to the bond issue was get ting too strong, they wired to Rep. raul at Juneau for an opinion on the question. Naturally as every good citizen would, he expressed himself as being in favor of the ls- sue. He also wrote to the Wran- geu Camp of the Alaska Native Bro therhood urging them to support the issue as good citizens.
 Last fall when they thought that they would lose by having the In- dian vote against them, they de manded that the Indians do not participate in the election; when they wanted to be sure that they won on the bond question, they asked and urged the Indian to vote "on their side.'
 Honestly now. These points o1 principle swing from no to yes so fast and often that it is making our poor heads whirl. Will the gentleman from Virginia, Il oz., and the gentleman from "Gawgia" the white stroller, please tell us when it is right for us to vote and when it isn't.!! ??

tive policy.
 The present fisheries law does not prohibit such use of food fishes, and there is now one plant, that of the Alaska Oil & Guano Co., at Killisnoo, in s. E. Alaska, engaged in the industry. This year this plant caught 59,O00 barrels of herring, with an aggregate weight. roughly, of 11,SOO,0O0 pounds. or these all but 13O barrels which were pickled for use as bait, were converted into fertilizer and oil.
 It is easy to conceive of com mercial uses to which fishes arc put which take precedence ovea other uses with respect to public advantage. Thus the manufacture of fertilizer and oil from fishes is "a lower use, inferior to the bus mess of preparing food products from fishes, or even to their use as bait for food fishes. Thus the menhaden ranks lower than the herring. Such a view in par grows out of the fact that these fertilizer and oil products, quite legitimate in themselves, do not depend entirely on fishes for their raw material. Furthermore even fish fertilizer and fish oil do not depend upon the herring, for var ious nonedible' fishes, as the men, 'ladcn, are available. The general view of higher use denoted by +he appropriation of fishes for , numan food has widely obtained and is evidenced by various legisla- lion prohibiting the lower use | where it has conf1icted with the higher. The dependence of a high y prized food fish and a cores pondingly valuable fishery upon an- other fish as food for the former, as in the case of the king salmon upon the herring, may be classed with the higher uses. This in fact is one of the most important aspects of the value of the herring fishery, if not its chief use. An important food of the king salmon is herring, and as the catching of king salmon by trolling now forms one of the most important and profitable of the fisheries of s. E. Alaska, no condition that adverse iy affects it in a material degree should exist unless by justification of 3 paramount right and import ance.

INTANGIBLE VOTES DOWN
 SCHOOL BONDS

No incorporated town in Alaska needs new school building mora than does the town of Wrangell. The old school building has been added to from time to time to take care. of the growing school popula- tion and while caring for the pre- sent needs could be and should be improved. The high school build ing was built about twenty-five years ago. It is totally unfit for modern school purposes and is un- sanitary as we'll as delapidated. Yet in spite of the knowledge of all these conditions, the tax payers re- fused to obligate themselves for a building to cost approximately $50, eco.
 The objection of the voters of Wrangell was not to the building of a new school building but to obligating the town to heavy indebt~ edness when already it was in deb. $15,000. incurred within the past three years.
 The tax rate is not any differen, from that of Petersburg at the pre- sent time and with less industry to add to the revenue. That the debt should be allowed to multiply three times it's original size in as many years shows a short sighted policy. That the Council should permit fred warrants" in the sum of $15,000 in violation of law is rather a sur prising matter.
 The old regime under ex-Mayor Grant is at an end. The new Coun ell now managing the affairs four neighboring city is making effort i to wipe out the debt and will find
