PLEA FOR NATIONS
HISTORIC MARKS
Architects Would Protect
Monuments and Landscapes
From Disagreement.

Plans to save the Nations historic
monuments and to prevent 1.-The dis
figurement of our landscape by the in
trusion of billboards and other equally
unsightly structures on the country
wayside" were announced at the con-
vention of the American Institute Of
Architects at the Mayfower Hotel.
In many States the architects have
successfully attempted to thwart the
destruction of landmarks and construc-
tive steps have been taken to restore
notable structures. it was reported by
A. L. Kocher of the committee on his
An Example Cited.
"An approved procedure in restoring
the eighteenth century town of Will
Harrisburg, Va, has been the subject of
extensive study by the architects for
the undertaking. 1t is proposed to
bring back in as convincing a manner
as possible picture of an early colonial
village, scrupulously preserving the
existing old buildings and restoring
many more of which only the founda-
tons or records exist.
There are naturally many difficulties
that result from the intermingling of
new structures with old work, but every
possible effort is being expended to
make the restored buildings as nearly
like the originals as possible.
New materials, where used, are to be
Of a character approximating the old,
with no attempt made to antique
them by theatrical means. The in
tention is to show, not an old town, but
one restored as the setting of great his
toric events and as an object lesson in
early town planning"
Bay State Law on Billboards.

SALMON INDUSTRY IN
 OREGON

W1sen the commercial fishing season opened on the Columbia River this spring approximately 10000 persons residing in Astor- ia and environs turned their at tention to the intensive quest of capturing the Royal Chinook salmon and his cousins.
 The salmon industry in the ,, ,WebfOot State is it's third larg- est industry and is centered in the first metropolis of Oregon. Seven thousand fishermen are to be found combing the Co., lumbia River and nearby ocean for the silvery horde; 2,O0O gill; netter's boats may be seen
 weaving all night, every night over t1Se gloomy river; 1000 trolling boats are to be seen pac- ing up and down tn Oregon and Washington coasts searching for the schools of salmon and 1000 cannery workers found sharp ening their knives and stacking tin cans preparatory to packing the spoil of the fishing vessels. If the season is productive, mil lions of dollars will flow into the pockets of the 1000 fisher men and cannery workers to feed 10000 Astoria mouths dur ing the next year.

ANOTHER SLANT AT THE
 PROHI QUESTION

The following taken from the
 Seattle Times gives another slant at tlSe prohibition ques- tion:
 "One wonders whether there has not been a change in pub lie feeling about prohibition.
 From the time the state of Washington originally w e n dry" up to just a few years ago, periodically the matter was sub jected to reasonably indicative tests at the polls. Every time the matter came up, the dry vote was larger, and the wet vote was smaller. It would seem as though the state of Washing ton and Seattle itself believed thoroughly in Volsteadism.
 Therefore, today one wonders that the active fight waged against prohibition by the chain newspapers makes so little im- pression hereabouts. It any se- rious resentment is caused, noth ing happens to show it.
 One wonders whether the dries have become more tolec- ant, less militant or have merely shrunk to a minority.

THE POWER TRUST IN B. c.

There seems to be a feverish haste on the part of capitalists from the United States to buy up municipality owned electric light plants on Vancouver Is- land and in British Columbia generally.
 Many of the municipalities are accepting offers made. But won't we wake up five or ten years from now and find we were fools to peddle these rights?
 The difficulty seems to be that the cities and towns standing by themselves, are un- consultations In the Pacific
The Alaskan., 1929-05-31

every night except Sunday night, from May 1 to January, thousands of gillnet fishermen will drift back and forth across the Columbia playing out their lnets and hauling them in, in quest of the Royal Chinook. True sportsmen, these gillnet- ters! They stake their lifes and their wealth in t1seir gamble. Lying out on that black expanse of the Columbia with a tiny light for their only safeguard against being run down by ocean bound steamers and the putt putt" of their gasoline motors as their only companions in the darkness, they risk their lives in their work. And, not infre- quently does a gill-netter fail to report at the cannery the next morning to claim reward for his catch. Remains of his boat may be found in the surf.
 The Well1being of their fam flies depends upon the luck and skill of the gill-net fishermen. If this happens to be "gill-net year." the fishermen will be we'll paid. Debts will be settled, new homes will be built, old cars will be swapped for new, and the city of Astoria will prosper. If the year happens not to be a
 'gill-net year" the sportsmen's stake is lost and another season will be awaited while the gill; netterS and their families tide over on money borrowed from the big packers.
 The above is taken from the Portland Oregonian as a descnp tion of what the fisheries mean to Oregon and what 1t could mean to Alaska,

 l. Bui'l more schools and Whenev4: possible arr ange for attendacre of Indian children in publi schools.
 2. Do c,way with the policy of making all Indians mechanic; and lab 'rerS. Encourage them artistical'y and fit them for pro- fessions. Also teach them vo- cations that can be of use in the environment and surroundings from winch they come and are pest suited fol.
 3. Buil1 more hospitals and increase he medical Sc vice.
 4. Put as employees in the 1n- dian Ser rice, men and women who are of high calibr. and in true sympathy with th. Indian. Do not rake these civil service position.

 '. Establish librarie 1nd re- creational activities on tie ie- .servations.
 8. Add four years high school course to the Indian s:llools.
 g. Establish employment bu- reaus.
 10. The Indian does cN as}. cr arity. All he asks is a square deal and we look to Colnnis- sioner Rhoads to see that We get 't T1Se Indian Leader.

THE DAMN JEW"

Not so long ago, Henry Ford got into a controversy with the Jewish race in which he charg- ed those people with about ev- cry thing underline sun. Aaron Sapiro brought suit against Ford in the sum of $1,000,O00 which was settled out of court. Now the other day, Ford was at a lunch con given by President Hoover at which time he eulogised the Jewish race. His about face on the matter come from under standing the aims and efforts of those people. So long as he did not under stand, he condemned. Which is true of every race un- der the sun.
 Ford said: am happy to come here tonight to pay tribute to my old friend David A. Brown, and through him to the great race which is proud and fortunate to count him among it's own. Da- vid A. Brown is a shining ex- ample of the great benevolence of the Jewish people, their phil, anthropy, their eagerness to make this world better, to edu- cate the untutored, to heal the sick, to care for the orphans; their intense and intelligent participation in all that makes for civic righteousness and so- cial justice stamps them 8 great people-and David A. Brown is one of their greatest and finest sons"
