Ernest L. Sawyer of Elizabeth City

LAW GETTING THAT WAY
This is not the first attempt of the
law to pcnalize the indirectly guilty
as well as actual murderers. Only
few months ago all Ohio husband
was held for the suicide of his wife
on the charge that he tainted her
and goaded her into it.
It is an encouraging sign of the
times when even the legal world, the
very anatomy of which is definite
black and white reality, is inclined
to stray a bit from the exact letter
Of the law and fit the individual case
to the law.
II, however, all husbands and all
wives whose impulsive bitter mo-
mcnts lead to fearful disaster to
someone or other may be indicted as
accessories to crime, our courts will
surely become fearfully cloggcd ami
the wheels Of justice will grind more
slowly than ever.

USELESS CATCH

Was listed in a recent fur sale by West Coast Fur Company in Seattle, six mink with a bid of $1. and no takers. This at a time when prime mink on the grounds bring a bid of $40. for an average lot. (each fur).
 An economic loss is suffered all around. One dollar for a lot of six pelts is not worth even the labor of skinning the animals; seed stock is destroyed to the tre territor. The industry will eventually be destroyed. To even buy such unprime pelts is to in vite violation of the laws.

A TERRIFIC INDICTMENT

A large fur buying company in Seattle recently sent out a booklet entitled Preparing Furs for the Market" It should be of interest to every citizen of Alaska, be he fur buyer, trap per or just a resident. We there fore quote parts of it:
 First of all, if the maximum of advantage is to be obtained, it is of the utmost importance to know the proper time for talk ing animals, in order that the pelts may be in what is known as prime" condition.
 If it could be possible to have every pelt taken in prime condi- tion the value of the fur catch would each season be increased by millions of dollars. Unfor- tunately this condition has nev- CT been attained owing to the lack of Knowledge. in some es- sentials. MORE THAN ONE HALF of the pelts of some spe- cies prove blue" on examina- tion, in other words, unprime, land grading not higher than No. 2 in quality. There seems no reason to doubt that if pro- per care were given by individ- uals to their trapping enterpris- es, the pelts taken might be nearly 100 per cent prime. ,
 There is not a trapper but knows that no fur is prime in the early fall. Yet, did the fed eral bureau wish to, it could have checked up on a consider able number of trappers out as early as October. Granted their operations are curtailed by a lack of funds. We maintain that did they keep their swivel chai1s less warm and move about the country more as they are sup posed to do, their work would be 100 per cent more efficient.

the forestry department, will ex- pend no less than ten million dollars in erecting pulp mills and developing water power.
 The GATEWAY'S contention has always been that the piO- neers of this Territory should have shared in the emoluments from timber claims when it passed to larger interests. That they should not stand aside while great and powerful inter ests and the government Wrest from them their patrimony. Alaska has no antagonism to the entrance of capital. Rather the Territory is anxious to vel come capital with open arms land extend to it every safe guard and a fair deal through it's laws.

GOODBYE MINK

"There is hardly a section of this Division that does not have at least two trap lines out for mink. There are so many trap perS out I could not find a place to set my traps," so said an old timer last week.
 AS a fur producer Alaska does not rate very high-not so high as many believe. Intensive trappin without provision for re- stocking of the species will mean the complete destruction of that industry. Fore sight is much better than hind sight.

DEER INCREASING

Pennsylvania is a much small CT state in point of size than Alaska is a territory. The game protection of that state is under the management of the State; management of game in Alas ka is under the management of tine federal biological survey.
 A few years ago Pennsylvani- ans could well say that deer in their section was about extinct. Today it is estimated that there are over a million deer in the game country of the Keystone State.
 Tn Alaska investigations point to a steadily decreasing deer supply.
 Last fall the Pennsylvania game commission gave permis- sion to hunters to kill doe and ir some sections of that state farmers are asking that z bounty be placed on the deer al they were jumping fences anC destroying crops.

The Federal Children's Blu reau calls attention to the fact that, while Philadelphia as a whole has a large percentage of delinquency among negro boys, almost no cases come from the Wissahickon district of the city.
 This gratifying situation is believed due, in large part to the influence of an adequately if nanced and splendidly equipped negro boys club with a member ship of 1,200.

 Science Makes Discovery
 A professor of psychology re- gently put an English Sparrow in a cage with some canaries. After two weeks he found that it had learned to sing as did the canaries. His "discovery'' made a considerable of a stir.
 This theory is not a new one and has been proven in Alaska and elsewhere. A young Alas kan Indian was sent to China and raised among Chinese. Tn language and racial character istics he returned to Alaska a Chinese.
 During the World War a big Sioux Indian, in full Indian re- galia, stepped into a bookstore in Philadelphia. The clerk ask ed what he wanted. Picking up a book the Indian asked, How much?" The clerk turning to the proprietor, said in German: "This Indian asks the price of this book. What shall I charge him The reply was, in Ger man, Charge him double the price marked" Turning to the Indian the clerk stated the price plus and was astonished when he heard in German from the Indian: Keep your book and try to get double price from some one else"

CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION
"There is no christian civiliZa

There is no christian civiliZa- tion," said an old, illiterate Inl dian. Christianity, there is a little; civilization, as far as research and knowledge is con- cerned, there is plenty. But christian civilization, there is none. Look at the wars Waged in the name of God; God is with us, said the German; our preachers prayed to their God for victory over the Terrible Hun They used poison gases; committed unreliable crimes against man and waged war on defenceless women and child ren. All in the name of christi anity."
 And as we review recent ev- enCS, we WOnQer not d llCIle Il the old Indian were not right. Before the Kellog peace treaties to abolish war are dry from the ink with which they are written we see England, Japan and the United States wing with each other in a naval program which will carry with it a supremacy of the seas. Science bending it's every effort to discover new and more terrible instruments of war. All while our governments the people-go to the church es and pray for peace.

GETTING CIVILIZED

A young Indian recently re- turned home from trapping. Not finding his wife home, he asked his little boy where the mother was. Reluctantly the informa- tiOn was forthcoming. Going to the house of a white CD man, the Indian asked where his wife was. The reply was, T have not seen your wife today" The hus- band stepped into the bedroom and there found the wife. He dragged her out, threw her into the corner and then beat up the trifler of his Wife's affections. His wife attempted to make a getaway while the husbands $ attentions were centered on the man and for her pains got a se- were beating up. Knocking the white man senseless, the Indian picked up an ax and had it up- lifted with a downward swing to complete the job when some friends going by stepped in and grabbed the ax in time.

COMPARED WITH ALASKA

Alaska fisheries far surpass the fisheries of Canada in point of value. Her halibut fisheries alone equals the total catch of the Canadian fisheries. Yet, the Canadians employ more than three times as many per- sons as do the Alaska fisheries. Probably one reason why Cana dian population grows while the population of Alaska recedes- with it's fisheries.

An Indian woman deserted her Indian husband and left with a white CD man of whom she had become enamored. They left for the trapping grounds. Finding a deserted fox ranch, the man threatened the woman and her daughter that unless they helped rob the place with him he would kill both of them. A considerable number of val uables and belongings were talk en. They left for Sitka. To make ends meet, the woman of fered to sell a white woman some baskets, etc. While dick ering over the prices to be paid, the buyer saw some monogram ed silver ware.
