LEGISLATIVE MAJORITlEs

The plunderbund press of Ju-
 neau is making much fuss over the House maj ajority of the re-
 cent legislature on the presump- tion that this majority is right. We quote the following by Ar
 thur Brisbane in the Hearst press: "A legislative majority is
 not always right. The size of the majority adds nothing to the evidence on that score. Le- |islatures reverse themselves on
 many occasions, yielding to req
 sons and counsel conveyed in a veto message. Disappointing re-
 suits do not call for a change
 in system that has been found generally satisfying and just"
 The House majority took it's
 orders from Joe Murray who took his orders from representa- tives of the mining and canning interests. In spite of campaign pledges they opposed every pro- gressive move with the end that
 the people should rule their
 own affairs in the territory.
 Rather they preferred the pres ent federal bureaucratic ma chine to elective officials and
 fought for it's perpetuation un-
 til forced by the Senate to change front or lose some pet legislation.

DO YOU SELL FISH
 TO JUNEAU??

MT. Troller, do you sell your king salmon to the Juneau Cold Storage? If you do, the next time you sell there, ask MT. Wallis and MT. George what their representative MT. Bert Faulkner was doing before the legislature when the tax on alien fishermen was before that body? MT. Faulkner opposed the tax on alien fishermen at the instance of the Juneau Cold Storage. He was so darned ig- nOrant of the question he was trying to present that the legis- lators before he got through with his presentation, refused to give him any further serious consideration. He wanted the competition of alien fishermen in order that they might lower the prices on salmon to a point where fishermen cannot make a living.

To be Continued
WHAT IS THE BIOLOGICAL
 SURVEY FOR?

Last summer an old time AL askan was out at Port Alexand- CT. Wandering around the bays in that district he noticed fresh
 deer hides floating about the bays. Examining 8 number of them he found them to be all doe. Taking another man with him he went scouting one day and saw several boats up on the beach with no owners pres ent. L ater after the boats were gone he found seven doe hides floating about the bay. (The men who were hunting were alien fishermen from Oregon and Washington.) He reported
 the matter to a fish warden with the request that 1t be forward ed to the Biological Survey. This
 was done but no action came of lit. Later both men protested in
 the office of MT. Terhune at
 Juneau the lack of action on the part of that office and depart
 ment. The reply was eve did
 not have anyone We could send
 down there One of the men re- lplied You could at least have lsent one of these women down there. I am sure she would have done much better than any of lyour men," Still with all of the
 evidence, photographs and wit

FREE TIMBER TO BE ALLOWD TO SETTLERS

same for logging and clearing operations. The ruling with re- Spect to reserving timbered areas for the settler was securd by MT. Ohlson while in Washington.
 While as pointed out, the best farming land contains birch, there are large areas so situated that they would not be required by the settler, at least for number of years. It is from these areas that timber and pulp wood organizations may secure raw material by purchase, from the government, while at the same time purchasing additional timber from settlers.
 This very plan has been advo- cated in the immediate past by this paper in articles by E. s. Hungerford. That MT. Ohlson sees fit to try such a program in Western Alaska will be pleasing to all Alaskans. Better yet, the same plan should be carried on throughout the entire Alaska and settlers be given immediate benefit of the same plan. That the plan is worth while and feasible along the railroad no one can deny; that the First Di- vision would benefit through the same plan is not open to ques- tion. The Anchorage division and the railroad belt are not en- titled to any more consideration than other divisions. If the plan of allowing settlers to sell or hold timber holdings on home steads is permissible in one di- vision, it certainly is proper that other divisions should be grant ed the same relief from the au- tocracy of the forestry service.

worker, Crazy Jack" In his de-
 mented senility was tickled pink with the lures of the tempting
 Anna. Twas all one with Crazy
 Jack" whether she wanted mon ey or would listen to reason" and
 this liaisonic Kidnapping start ed on high gear! Crazy Jack at this very first meeting with an utter stranger, embraced the enticing Anna and the oppor-
 tunity to foregather with a white siren. Immediately they embarked in the taxi for Oke-
 nah, the county seat of an ad- joining county, where the fast
 working Anna sought a marri- age license in order to marry this demented bit of male senil- ity whom she had never before seen. But Crazy Jack" was too we'll known at Okemah and the authorities would not fall for Anna's license to annex him. Anna then proceeded with her
 prize to Holdenville, Oklahoma,
 where again the officials would
 not give her license to wed the
 doddering old imbecile.
 In the meantime-a the alarmed meantime it was for the designing Anna-O'Hornett, the guardian of Crazy Jack" had learned of the sirenic Anna's do- ings and compelled her to return his ward to his wickiup and his caretakers. Also O'Hornett per- Sonally interviewed her in detail ing Anna, notified her in detail as to his wards condition, that he was incompetent and under the guardianship and warned her to cease her enticements.
 Ostensibly Anna acquiesced but really her determination to clip the golden fleece from Crazy Jack" only hardened. Tn about three weeks she again Surged into the scenario at night in a high-powered automobile from Tulsa, Oklahoma, driven by Alvin L. Morehead of Tulsa, accompanied by his wife. Again Crazy Jack" fell for her entice- ments, entered the automobile and was swiftly driven through the night about 150 miles to Coffeyville, Kansas-beyond the Oklahoma state line where guardian O'Hornett and Okla homa courts had no jurisdiction. | From there she went to Inde- pendence, Kansas. There she wheedled the authorities out of l a license, to wed the demnted Indian and returned to Coffey- vile where a pretended marri- age ceremony was performd. She had her talons fastened to her prey.

KIDNAPPING FOR A MILLION

Three years ago, Sam Clark leditor of JIM JAM JEMS pub
 lished the following story of the
 footing of Barnett Jackson's es- Itate. Last November, 1928, the
 United States Senate Committee ion Indian Affairs investigated
 this same case, almost four years ilater and the evidence introduc- ed SubStantiated the story as
 written by "Jim Jam JemS, Jr."
 Clark is now with Whiz Bang
 Bill, running another JIM JAM
 JEMS. The question this pubG-
 cation asks is What will he say Tiff he reads the Senate investiga-
 tions and the mass of evidence introduced to show the crooked ness of the Indian Bureau from
 reservation mules" to Burke,
 recently deposed head of that
 Bureau.
 This is a true tale of how a
 sleek adventures put the sigh" l in siren and cashed in on It. slicker than an eel in barrel of soap suds.
 The siren was Anna Laura
 Howe, made in Missouri, and
 she cashed in on Jackson Bar net a seventy-year-old dement, ed, millionaire Oklahoma Indian. In our issue of January 1925 under the title of The "Pill' in Pillage we casually mentioned the Jackson Barnett case. It fascinated us. We made further investigations and here are the results of as slick a schme as was ever pulled in slick oildOm. Jackson Barnett is an old il- litter e, demented full-blood Creek Indian originally parked few miles out of Henryetta in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma. He can neither read nor write and his signature he affixes by thumb print. When your Uncle Sam was allotting land to his copper hued nephews he handed Jack son Barnett a rough bit of val ueless looking real estate in what Is now Creek County, Oklahoma. But fate ripped off the last syl- liable from valueless and the Barnett bit of roughage proved to overlay a lake of liquid gold Geysers of oil spouted from an oil company"s' drilled holes and Barnett's royalties alone landed him in millionairedom with a rush. Crazy Jack" Barnett,
 as he was commonly known, was so notoriously demented, imbe- cile and incompetent that the oil company didn't dare take a chance on his lease and on the petition of his half brother he was judicially declared incompe- tent and Carl J. O'Hornett of
 Henryetta, Oklahoma, was ap- pointed his guardian.
 Crazy" Jack and his fabulous wealth and his huge holdings of
 Liberty Bonds became front page stuff" in the daily press. His accentricities were exploi t. ed and he was dubbed the 'Indi- an Rockefeller" Anybody could and many smooth gentry did, obtain checks, notes and other obligations galore from Crazy" Jack"-all of course repudiated by his guardian.
 Then undulated into the scen- ario as slick a bit of femininity as ever sharpened manicured
 claws of predacity for mazuma hooking. What she lacked in pulchritude she made up by per Sfsfannu and what Sha lacked in

St. AuRustine's Chair

The wonderful old chair Of st. Au-
gustine, In which the new archbishop
Of Canterbury sits on the occasion Of
his enforcement, has had a long his
tory. Tradition asserts that 1t was
formerly the throne on which the old
kings Of Kent were crowned, but II is
generally agreed that It dates, at any
rate, from the commencement Of The
Thirteenth century. II Is composed
Of three pieces of Purbeck marble in
the design Of a Roman state chair
and stands in the chapel Of the Cor
ona in Canterbury cathedral. Each
archbishop of Canterbury is en-
throned in this chair, thus signifying
his assumption Of the primacy Of
England.

unsuccessful in this the unnatural

Many English Words
Are Arabic In Origin

The Arabs have given the English
speaking people more words to express
their thoughts than any other of the
Semitic, Asiatic or African groups.
"When in summer you wear your
'mohair' or cotton suit, avoid 'alco-
hol,' enjoy "sherbet' with candy and
coffee with sugar. or lie on sofa
or mattress reading a magazine, you
are drawing on that vocabulary" Prof.
Philip X. Hitti of Princeton told the
Linguistic Society Of America.
''In a complete English lexicon,
Arabic would figure in no less than
1893 entries under the letter A alone
Many Of these words have come into
English indirectly through the romance
languages, he said, but Arabic also has
served as a medium for transmitting
a number of words Of Greek, Latin,
Persian, Sanskrit, Egyptian, Turkish,
Coptic or Hindustani origin, such as
apricot, azure, borax. camphor and
ebony.
