BY FEDERAL PERMISSION

Three men were fishing for salmon in the creeks near Ju- neau, delivering their fish to the Taku Cannery by truck.
 The matter was reported to the U. s. Marshals Office and that office took the matter up with Captain" O'Conner with the request that he make inn mediate investigation.
 Two days after the matter was brought to the attention ot the Captain He acknowledged receipt of the information. BUT the fishing continued unmolest- ed by the trap protection bureau and it's mannikinS.

MIGRATE

Was reported from Juneau last week that at great hazard to thenslves, John Hunter and Willis George put a line on the Widgeon and with two boats Traveller and Frances-pulled the vessel off.
 Captain" O'Conner upon his return to Juneau scoffed at the story as told by the crews of the two boats. Belittled the account and denied that they (the buric lats) were in any danger from the clements.
 It was just too bad that the crews had that spark of man. hood and humanity to go to the aid of such as Captain" O'Con- nor. Any ingrate should be left to the tender mercies of the ele- ments of Chatham Straits when aroused in it's fury.
 Personally We know Captain John Hunter, who has been lonored by the people of An goon by electing him it's mayor; and our contact with the Cap tain" has been since 1918 when we typed out some of his fishery reports at Fort Seward. As be- tween the so-called captain and Capt. Hunter, we will take the word of the latter.

CLEANING OUT WASHINGTON

announcement comes the kbvg
 George Remus, Jess Smith & Company along with higher-ups in Washington did a landoffice business in the liquor business and peddling of liquor permits. Jess Smith committed suicide" and Remus, after salting down over seven million dollars in a Cincinnatti bank, was jailed and convicted on a charge of wife murder.
 Recently in Washington comes report from Seattle that the old Olmstead liquor ring, with con- nivance of federal officials. smugg]ed into Seattle between 90 and 100000 cases of liquor reaching figures approximating six million dollars.
 It appears that the powers that be do not want honest off, cials and that they appoint to office men who are known guz- zlers of booze and were or are more or less connected with the booze ring.
 Arrests are made of petty lar ceny operators or those com pines outside of the favored and protected rings.
 Men who are honest have ev- cry influence thrown in the way of their efficient service and political pressure is brought to bear to secure dismissal of such officials.
 In another genaration, at the present rate. we may expect a government by super bootleg gers. The little fellow will have to get off the earth.

THE WHOLE ROSTER

A number of years ago, so the story goes, a number of men from Fort Seward were out on g hunt. Tn the party was a Ma jor, Lieutenant, Sergeant, Cor poral and a couple of buck pri- yates, along with Mister O'Con- nor.
 Said one of the men: "We have every rank of the Post here represented save Captain" Up- on which the Major retorted There's the captain" pointing at Mister O'Connors.
 And he has been captain ev- CT since.

THE PRETENSE CONTINUES

Before his election to the presidency, MT. Hoover wrote an article on hatcheries and which was published by the Isaac Wal ton League. He questioned the worth of the hatchery system at that time. Long before that the Alaska Native Brotherhood declared the government owned and operated hatcheries nothing but farce and the privately owned hatcheries a tax dCdgin2 2 proposition, in that the operat- CTS received rebate of four cents the case on the finished product.
 In 1927 Senator Hickman, ap- bearing before the Territorial Legislature declared he would not invest eleven cents of his own money in any hatchery sys- tenn.
 Recently over five million sal mon eggs were shipped from Seward to be matched out in the various hatcheries of Oregon and Washington.
 Thsy shipment is from Litnik

IGNORES REPORT

A report was sent from Rake to MT. Captain" O'Connor that one of his stream watchmen (?) was fishing illegally in a closed area-the stream in fact. The ineflciency of the Captain" is emphasized by the fact that he has ignored the complaint.
 Is it wonder that more than one-half the streams are now barren of salmon?

the homes of neigtbors to learn the cause of the confagration, without a single exception, they refused to speak to him, shut ting the doors of their homes in his face.
 The origin of the fire was clearly that of a f1rebug. He re- ported the matter to officials, land they hoped" to establish incendariasm and to make an arrest.
 The savings of a lifetime was represented in the little home.
 After all, the veneer of civil lization is pretty thin and it is easily scratched off and exposed by racial contacts. The religion of the bible is for heather and the colored races-not to be practiced by the so-called su- perior races.

IN FIVE YEARS

Tn five years there will be on ly trap fishing. Regulations will be so arranged that seines will be entirely eliminated" so spoke a representative of the United States Bureau of Fisheries to a salmon packer.
 Likewise this publication pre- Gicts in ansWar to the represent ative of the United States Bu- 1eau of Canneries, Ltd:
 The year following promulga- tion of such a regulation will see angered Alaskans retaliat- ing by destruction of property and perhaps human life. It has ever been thus that when the overlords become so greedy that they try to force labor off the earth, labor girds up it's Joins and takes the law into it's own hands. A good recent example of which are the textile mills of the Carolinas.
 This is not a threat It is a statement arising from expres- sions made by white fishermen and Indian fishermen. Let the buyer beware"

PLAIN SKUNK

During the recent fishing sea- son a Petersburg man was fish ing in stream at night. While his net was in the water, along comes a hi-jacker and copped the net with fish. He sold the fish and turned the net over to the Bureau of Fisheries agent and
 then tried to spread the report that the net was cOnfiscated by

REFUSED
ZON|NG PLEA

The petition of Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee, to have
his former residence in the $500
block of Connecticut Ave. ". w,
placed in a commercial zone was
turned down by the Zoning Com.
mission yesterday.
Smoot told the commission at a
public hearing Wednesday it would
be impossible for him to recapture
his investment unless the property
was rezoned.
The commission was told that
Smoot had arranged to sell his
home for $4,000, contingent on
his ability to have the property re.
zoned and was actuated by purely
selfish motives. Smoot now lives
in Wesley Heights.
The Utah Senator said he bought
the home 20 years ago because it
seemed a nice quiet place in the
country. A year ago. he testified,
traffic lights were placed on the
corner in front Of his home. Since
then the residence has been an i'm.
possible place in which to live, he
declared.
The commission granted petitions
to reZone lots on the northwest
corner of Fessenden and Forty-sec.
ond Streets Northwest: five lots on
the southeast corner of Twenty.
seventh and l. Streets Northwest:
four lots at Fifteenth and Usher.
wood Place Northwest: a. lot on the

Third Street Northeast: property
bounded by Bunker Hill Road, Shep.

erty on the corner of Elvans and

refused, but the Commission con.
scented to rehear the petition Of
Frederick J. Rice for rezoning his
property on Fourteenth Street. be-.
