Qean-uD
 Paint-up

There is no "sure sign of spring, but spring should be a sure sign" of the arrival of that time for the community to clean up. There is no superstition or prophesying about this cleanup sign
 When warm weather has come to stay (until cold weather re- turns in the autumn) every owner of property and tenant should make it his first duty to remove the evidences of win ter's ravages and to aid nature in her work of rebeautification.
 Every spring cleanup pro gram should include disposal of winters accumulation of litter and decayed vegetation, repair ing and repainting of buildings, and landscape gardening. Land scape gardening is no longer associated with large estates alone.
 Cleanliness about the person or the home costs nothing. A community cleanup need in- volve no expense, except of a moderate amount of labor on the part of the householders. If there ever were excuses for un- cleanliness they were removed long ago.
 What is the compensation of community cleanup cam paign? It improves the gen. eral health of the community by removing deposits that are breeding places of disease germs and disease carrying insects. A clean town is a better place in which to live than one that is unsanitary and unsightly. And the best community advertising is the appearance of being "cleaned-up, painted-up and planted-up"

THE POOR INDIAN

The Jackson Barnett case is one that smells to high heaven. An incompetent Indian, an idiot" he has been declared by the courts. Commissioner ChaS. H. Burke, sworn to protect this ignorant, incompetent, idio t., used legal talent of the Indian department and others to sus- tain a gift of $55O,OOO to Mrs Barnett who in the inveStiga- JlOnS was described as being a cheap white adventurous; and another gift of similar amount to the American Baptist Mission Society. It was shown that MT. Burke who was presumed under the law to protect the Indian, ordered payment of funds to at -Orneys trying to sustain the gift; that he used his depart ment to foil the efforts of the Department of Justice in it's eff forts to protect Jackson. Burke charged Senator Pine with con- spiracy to discredit him Burke but he had to withdraw his charge. Burke resigned (they are never dismissed from the Indian service) and has been given another responsible post by President Hoover.

Declares Sea Lions a Menace

Sea liins are increasing in numbers on the Alaskan coast to an alarming extent and troll CTS, familiar with their depra- datiOnS on salmon runs are concerned over the situation, ac- cOrding to Tom Wakefield, for many years engaged in troll fishing in Southeastern Alaska, says a recent exchange It is impossible to estimate the Quan- tity of salmon destroyed by these animals, but the total every year is declared by trollerS to be enormous. Estimates of the number Of sea lions between Cape Spencer and Dixon En- trance r~lge from few thou sand up to 50,00O, and extrem- iSts say as high as 100000. They actually destroy more salmon than all the fish traps and other gear take during the season, Mr. Wakefield declared. In re- cent years the Canadian auth critics have been Waging active warfare against sea lions off the coast of British Columbia as a means of protecting salmon runs from their depredations. At the same time the American governmnt threw the mantle of protection around them. The result, according to those with some knowledge of the situation has been a large increase in the number of animals to be found in local waters.

Fish Bureaus Oppose Dams

At the recent conference of American scientific fishing ex- perts" with Canadian EXPERTS, all were agreed, except certain hydro interests that the fishing industry could not be best serv- ed by having salmon streams damned for power. It was ev- en stat edthat development of en stated that development of Pacific Coast rivers is proving a menace to salmon runs, and has already depleted hordes of prime Sound.
 Henry O'Malley, for the Unit ed States, and Major J. A. Moth erWell, for the Canadian gov ernment fisheries department said it is imperative that scien- tific investigations be made at once to discover means where by fish may get past power dams.

it Needs a Lot
 Of Explaining

Testimony of Attorney Gen. eral Sargent and former Secre- tary of the Interior Work re- garding their part in stopping prosecution of Indian Commis- sioner Burke falls far short of clearing up a serious matter. Fair minded citizens will with hold judgment until all the facts are known, but will insist that those facts be uncovered as quickly as possible
 Sargent and Work told the Senate Committee on Indian af- fairs ysterday they had inter fered with grand jury action in order to protect Burke from al- legged persecution by Assistant Attorney General Parmenter Sargent added that he had not intended to drop the Burke pros ecution if investigation sub stantiated charges against the Indian Commissioner in the Jackson Barnett case.
 But what reason had Sargent and Work to think that the grand jury proceedings, which they halted, would not properly sift the charges?
 An uncomfortable public feel ing has been produced by the apparent ease with which two Cabinet officers, behind the scenes, can manipulate lega proceedings.

 The memorial is eight pages in length stating that the pow CTS granted Alaska were based on the principles of the ConSti- tuition of the United States af ter the type organized in terri tories of the West which gave their people a full territorial form of government and fitted such Territories to later form and adopt state constitutions and be admitted as State. into the Union.

Stubborn Fire In
 Benson Residence

The fire alarm called the fire laddies out Tuesday morning about ten o'clock to put out a blaze at the Benson residence. The fire had taken hold from the interior of the building prob ably from the fire f1ue.
 No trucks were handy so sev- eral men grabbed hold of one hose cart and two chemicals and started the long trekke up the hill. Before they reached the top of the hill the Old Boys were somewhat winded and their legs not so light as in former years so they had to fin lsh the long uphill hike at Q walk. When they got to the burning house they made every effort to extinguish the fire and succeeding only after the most of the roof was burned out. The water pressure on top of the hill was anything but satisfac- tory making it thatmuch hard CT for the boys to put out the fire.
