PRESERVING THE RESERVE

Secretary Mellon of the treasury department is afraid that the poll iticians are going to corrupt the
 federal reserve system. We wonder just how that's going to happen.
 Can it be made any worse than 1t is? Was it ever within a thousand tleagues of what it started out to be?
 We have always looked on the fed- eral reserve system as a bit of weird
 financial jugglery in which private
 banking institutions are we'll hook
 ed up at the expense of the govern ment
 Many people have an idea that
 the reserve system is government
 owned and controlled. Isn't so,
 quite. Tn truth the government is , but a minority stock holder in a gigantic private concern that takes
 upon itself the illegal privilege of coining money-federal reserve notes.
 ! President Wilson's idea of finan- cial stabilization may have been all right on the start off, but he fell under the spell of the banking trusts of New York and Chicago and the federal reserve chick was hatch led. Naturally, all of those institutions known as " national banks" were drawn into the federal reserve. They just couldn't help themselves. The private banks, or banks other than national, held aloof for the greater part and against these out side banks the federal reserve has l pulled many string, political and ! otherwise, to break 'em. The sys- ! tenn has cut the farmers dollar 50 | per cent, it has drawn the nations | money channels from Washington | to Wall Street and it dictates the l money policy of the country Mellon | is afraid that the control of the l country's finance will drift into l the hands of "agitators. We'll, let | it drift Let it break up. The ! money system cannot be in worse ]! hands. In fact, has the federal l reserve accomplished single worthy l object? Since the big cry of Mellon ! seems to us to be a father to wish i we are all the more skeptical. Talk | about corruption of the country's | finance! What and where are the 1 country's finances. In the hands of l the federal reservests, to be sure. and as much out of the hands of | the government as they could well be. Mellon is crying because he is afraid he is going to lose something.

NEW WATERFRONT FLOAT
 JUST ABOUT COMPLETED

Though apparently small in size yet the new city float, just about com pleted by an Alaska Railroad crew,
 is really the same length as the for mer one. They differ, however, in shape. Where the old one was almost square the new one is long and nar- row and is said by boat owners to be an improvement over the former. A new incline, or walk, has also been built; so constructed and reaching out so far that the steepness has been re- duced considerably. And above all else the entire structure looks solid.

CONVENTION REPORT PIONEERS OF ALASKA
 AT KETCH|KAN
PRESERVATION VALUABLE HlS TORiCAL DATA CONSIDERED
 AT SESSION
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

Alaska was formally opened Friday morning, March 16, in Pioneers Hall by H. R. Shepard, grand president. As George V. Love, grand secretary and several other delegates had not arrived, only a short session was held.
 Saturday morning with all of the delegates or their alternate present, many important matters were dis cussed and resolutions passed that immediate action should be taken to carry them out.
 Ways and means for improving the living conditions of Alaska's insane now being cared for at Morningside sanitarium again were taken under consideration and resulted in some constructive suggestions.
 The sanitarium Is now conducted by the corporation on a commercial basis and strictly for profit, it is al leged by members of the order who have investigated the matter. As the five-year contract contains no clause compelling the officers of the institu- ton to consult with physicians other than those employed by themselves in regard to the mental condition of the patients, they may keep them con- fined there indefinitely should they so desire, 1t was pointed out.
 It was decided to bring the matter to the attention of the Secretary of Interior and the Secretary of the Trea- sury through the Governor of Alaska and urge the appointment of mem ber of the U. s. health service of Port land, Oregon, as "discharging off, cer" for the Morningside sanitarium until the present contract expires. It Is hoped better means of caring for the insane of the Territory will then be found.
 The resolutions also urge that this discharging officer be given authori- ty to discharge Alaskan patients from the institution when he considers them cured.
 Historical Records
 Another matter of interest consid- cred was the collection and preserva- tion of valuable historical data of the Territory. AS the Arctic Brotherhood has disbanded, steps are to be taken to secure, if possible, the records col lected by them and have them pre- served in the museum of the Alaska College.
 To this end 1t was resolved to se- cure the names of the last grand of ficers of the Arctic Brotherhood and enlist their interest and assistance in preserving them for posterity. The matter is also to be brought to the attention of the president of the col lege.
 MEMBERSHIP RULING
 Letters were read from pioneers protesting against any alteration in the qualifications for membership in the order of the Pioneers of Alaska, which now requires a man to have been a resident of the Territory since 1905. A resolution was passed that the present requirements, passed by a two-thirds vote of the members, should remain unchanged. There had hocn considerable agitation over the

To Make Sketches
of Park Indian

Winold Reiss, celebrated painter Of
racial types, accompanied by q group
OF students from his New York art
school,, has invaded Glacier National
park for the purpose OF completing q
book Of character portraits OF the
American Indian which critics say Will
become q monument to the North
American Redskin. These drawings
later will be included in a travelling ex-
hibit which is to be sent to the art IN
stitutes all 0ver the United States
Nj. Reiss already has quite an extern
sive collection OF drawings OF Indians OF
the Blackfeet tribe of Glacier park and
many other tribes of the west. and some
the Aztec and zapoteka Indians OF
Mexico as we'll. He has studied the abb
arts of America to the extent
that he is recognized az the artistic In
OF North American types. He
has drawn from practically every ma
tionality, and his drawings OF the Pas
sion players of Oberammergau have at
tracted wide attention in the art world.
Among the older trtbesmen surviving
on the Glacier park reservation MIR. Reiss
found some OF the best types OF the
fast disappearing bow and arrow Indians
he has been able to locate in all his jour-
neys over the oNrth American continent.
And, he says. he Ia going tc get them into

Next summer the airplane will take
over some Of the work Of the pack
horse in this region, 1t was learned
when Earl Il. Vance, manager of the
Vance Air service, disclosed plans for
taking parties to mountain places now
reached only by pack horses or on
foot. The first definite arrangement
In this direction has been made be-
tween the company and the Ralph Al
Ian ranch, which Is six miles above
Gibson lam.
Vance planes will take vacationists to
the Allan resort, operating on a regular
schedule Ii business Is sufficient. There
are two ways In which the 80-mtle trip
from Great Falls can now be maue. One
is to motor to the dam site and then
pack the six miles to the III camp. The
other is to go by train to Augusta, by
motor to Gibson dam n by pack horse
from there on. At times road conditions
are such that the Allan place is virtually
inaccessible.
There is enough open country near the
Allan ranch for a landing field, accord
ing to Mr.. Vance. With a plane the trip
will not require more than an hour from
Great Falls.
The next step in removing much OF
the isolation OF favored mountain re-
gions In the Rockies west OF Great Falls
will probably be. Mr.. Vance indicated
dying over the divide into the South
Fork country, one Of the Widest and
most picturesque regions In the United
States. This great basin Of cumberland
contains much game and is a fsherman's
paradise.
To reach the South Fork country by
methods now In use one must pack from
the east side of the Rockies across the
| divide and for some miles down the
| west slope, q horse trip Of about 80 miles
and a loss Of considerable time because
OF the slow travel, not to mention thu
| hardship for those unaccustOmed to thii
kind Of travel. With q plane the ares
will be reached In les than W hours.
