missionary work undecided as an abstract question, one must admit that in Alaska the effort has borne fruit. Dr.. Young tells just why this happened, and the life story of man who figured so largely in this effort should at least demand reading from every friend of the Alaska native and of Alaska in general.

had lived through every major movement and development in AL aska, and has much to say While what he says is not new to a student of the Northern territory, to the general reader the book will be er Tightening.
 First Real Missionary
 He was the first real missionary which Alaska had; he was the first American missionary in the Klon- dike; he arrived at Nome when the first great rush to that bonanza started he started religious work in Fairbanks, and built the Presby- terian Church in Cordova, when copper and railroad had temporarily displaced gold as the mecca for the prospector and fortune hunter.
 To this reader the most interest ing part of his book is the story of Dawson. One reads with gratitude a true description of the famous Northwest mounted police, and learns that instead of being half gods, as modern fiction writers pie ture them, in '98 the "mounties' were human like ordinary police men everywhere with the exception that they contained more than their fair share of grafters and in- dulged in some forms of extortion ths> were particularly objectionable. Dr. Young calls spade spade, ana the story is told that he did likewise at the time the graft was going on, and was requested to leave Dawson for his courageous criticisms.
 His Influence
 The outstanding missionaries Of Alaska have been Father Duncan, Dl. Young, Bishop Rowe and Arch deacon Stuck. Of these, Young has predominantly affected the growth and development of the Thlingets and Tsimpsheans of Southeastern Alaska. They are among the most civilized natives of the North to- day, and many of them remember Dr. Young with gratitude and affec- tion. His life was worth while, and

 good for them. Delegate Suther- land did his talking openly and pub licly on a subject of vital concern to all citizens of Alaska, which was his right and his duty.

 Grover Vim, candidate for the House of Representatives from the First Division, was one of the very few men in Juneau who had enough courage of his convictions to appear on the floor of the legislature in fla vor of the Controller Bill.
 Peter c. Mccormack, of Wrangell, was formerly a member of the legis- ture and won the disapproval of cer- tain interests by his stand on tho fish trap question. He is again run ming for the House and resident Alaskans can count on him as be- fore.
 Charles Darwell of Darwell and Grant, (Johnny Grant of WrangelD is trap owner and new partner ot Karl Thiele in the cannery business. We understand that there is plan to initiate him into the United Sons and use him to double cross William l.. Paul.
 "Dick' Sundquist, for two terms in the House of Representa- tives, has filed for the Senate from the Second Division. MT. Sundquist did excel- lent work in the House and should be nominated in the Primary and elected at the general election in Novembef. It is safe to say he does not stand for Lomenized Alaska.
 
 All resident fishermen and loyal Alaskans of the Third Division should unite to retire Joe Murray into private life at this primary election. This is the time to do it, and along with him Frank Foster of hotel bedroom notoriety, should be kept in obscurity. The presence

ELECTION BREVITIES

Charles Gardner is the gentleman who testified before the last session of the legislature that if the Sawyer Mckay Logging Company of which he is a member was not allowed to get out trap piles, they would go broke, that being their margin of profit. He testified further, having been an employee of the Forestry Department, that in from five to ter years, at the present rate of cutting, all of the available pile timber in Alaska would be gone. Oh we'll, the fish will be all gone then too, if they continue to get out trap piling, so it won't matter to the Cannery owner if the piling is all gone. But how about the residents of Alaska?

 Austin Lathrop, we hear, lost lost enough money betting on Mar quam last election to make him howl What does he want to run in the Republican primaries for and for Republican National Committed man at that? Why doesn't he run for Independent National Commit teeman?
 In the mimeographed letters with which Bartley Howard has been obstructing the mails of the Terri tory the last few months, we notice that he thinks that Delegate Dan Sutherland ought not to have attend ed the last session of the legislature and in an open hearing urge the en- actment of a Controller Bill. Such a Spectacle! But not a word about the we'll paid lobbyists and attor- neys and cannery owners and trap owners who took up hours of the legislators time urging their par

BlantOn Blamed In
Failure of Police to
Get Raise in Salary

Representative Thomas l.. Blanton
of Texas, who has always claimed to
be a friend of policemen. has killed
whatever chance there was for Con-
gress to give these policemen raise
in salary during the present session
Of Congress.
: BIantOD's persistent charges Of
graft and corruption i'm the Police
Department and his activities I'm the
defense Of Orville Staples before
the police trial board. have "sOured'
Congress on the bill to raise the
salaries Of police Dad firemen.
The Texan was one of the chief
proponents of a raise for police and
firemen at the opening of Congress.
He drafted a bill to give all mem.
bers of the two forces a blanket in.
crease of $500 year.
Representative Frederick N. Zihl-
man of Maryland introduced a bill
to provide graduated increases run.
ming from $500 to 81 900 for high
officers. The two bills were COM
promised in committee and a bill
providing increases running from
$500 TO $500 was reported out.
Without B'anton's charges this
bill would have had a rough road
because of opposition from the Ap-
preparation Committee.

able action upon the bill, and lay
plans for its prompt passage by
the chamber , The legislation has
been hanging fire in Congress for
several years.
Its purpose is to place the Won
ans Bureau of the Police Depart

basis, to make Mrs. Van Wrinkle
an assistant chief of police, and to
create a force of policewomen.
The bill also clarifies and to some
extent enlarges the present duties
