ing was ordered by the Secretary of Interior.
 Basis of Claim
 The case was reviewed interest," ingly and informatively by Asst. Secretary Dixon at the time he rendered final decision in May, 1929, a year after the original hear ing. So far as the Interior Depart ment's position is concerned, it makes clear that it will not consider claims of ownership based upon the common use by the aboriginal tribes of lands and waters of Alaska for hunting and fishing.
 George Johnson, claiming to be hereditary chief of the Raven clan, in the original hearing at Ketchi- kan in 1928 asserted his ownership to all the land on the Carroll h. let drainage. He claimed the hunting and fishing rights of all the lands and streams surrounding the inlet and the land as far back as it was convenient to get game for food purposes.
 He said the basis for this claim was the fact that he is now the chief of Raven tribe which in times past had used the lands and

 Talk on Gardening
 Here's something else. Besides the address on indoor comfort and adornment, there will be talk on outdoor diversion. Gardening will be the theme of discourse. To persons who have never made a garden, the present may not seem to be a propitious time to con- slider such activity. They need en- lightenment. Successful spring culti- vation necessitates fall plans, not the least essential of which is the requirement of new seed catalogues for later study. These publica- tions, filled with illustrations of all varieties of flowers and vegetables in colors that challenge the spec trum glories of the rainbow, can turn into joy and happiness 8 win- ter that otherwise might be period of gloom and discontent.

retary Dixon who held it was a proper function for the Interior Department to determine fir m evidence submitted at a hearing < whether an inhabitant of AL aska, or his assignee, is entitled to the possession of land claimed by him or his assignee not by title thereto but by reason of use and occupation or claim of right of possession" adding If not used and occupied or possession is not rightfully claimed, then the land is a part of the public domain and subject to the laws enacted for the control, use and disposition there of"
 That the treaty did provide for protection of Alaska's inhabitants in certain rights was conceded and it was further said it was necessary that the United States government to maintain this provision. The Secretary, however, pointed out: "The term their property reason ably construed. must have been in-. tended to mean such property as that to which they had title or in which they held some estate, and not to include those vast areas which they, in common with other inhabitants, used for hunting and fishing purposes"
 Construction by Congress
 This view was held by Congress in it's enactment of 1884, and other laws extended to Alaska, Asst. Sec retary Dixon declared, citing mining and homestead enactments in par ticular by which citizens of the United States and inhabitants of

Improvement in Homes and Benefits of Gardening
 to Be Explained

How to improve the living room of the home? That's the question. Opinions differ. The ban against dogs and cats should be lifted, &C., cording to little children. The piano on which the elder daughter practices her music lessons ought to be moved into the wood shed, says her grown-up brother. She contends that he should enter the house by the kitchen door and go noiselessly up the back stairs to bed on the night every week she wants to hold hands with her boy friend. Mother ought not to be so antago- nistic to the odor of tobacco smoke in curtains and portieres. Dad de- clares. She insists that his habit of sprawling himself in an arm chair with his feet hoisted upon the upholstered seat of one of the best straight-backs, as he reads the newspapers and puffs his pipe with never a word to anybody except to ask for a match occasionally. is disgrace to respectable family, and that he should be put outside on the door mat.
 Fifty Other Ways
 But these are not the only ways to improve the living room. There
 IL ' 7 II |. are 50 others, all less controversial and more meritorious in character. They will be explained by Mrs. Lydia Fohn-H Hansen, Assistant Di- rector of Home Economies in the Extension Course of the Alaska College of Agriculture and School of Mines, at a meeting Monday evening in the auditorium of the elementary public school building.
 In this world there is nothing perfect. No matter how well ap- pointed a living room may be, it is subject to im- provement. Mrs. Fohn-Hansen is qualified and anxious to tell every how to surprise and de-

streams for hunting and fishing; that he succeeded to the title after l the death of his uncle, former chief; and that he and two others, his wife's nephew and niece, are the sole surviving members of the clan. He further testified that his claim is based on the claim of his uncle to the land on each side of the inlet from it's head to it's mouth, some 25 miles long, and that he now claims all the land surround l ing the inlet.
 Is Absentee Owner
 The only signs of occupancy on the disputed 480-acre tract is a cabin and anchorage at the head of the inlet. Other than the cabin, about which small area had ap- parently been brushed out many years ago, there are no improve ments. The cabin, itself, is about F feet by l2 feet, of rough lum- Der, dirt floor, board roof, and a vent for smoke through the roof. It has neither fireplace nor win dows
 Johnson admitted he resided at Ketchikan, 40 miles away, and had lived there since he was a young man, some 40 or more years; that he had not lived in the cabin at the anchorage for 25 years; that in 1904 he had, in fact, filed notice of location on another tract of land at Gagh Creek, another Carroll Inlet tributary, by which he claimed fishing privileges; that he had es- tablished a residence at Gagh Creek, but had not resided there in 20 years.
 Sold His Rights
 In 1904 Johnson conveyed to one Bell, by quit claim deed, his claim to ownership of the 48O-acre tract covered by Jones suit. In 1915, Jones entered the scene, acquiring Bells alleged rights.
 Jones now contends that he is the rightful owner and that the Department of Interior, custodian of the public domain, has no right to determine ownership, first by reason of the provisions of the. treaty of cession from Russia to the United ' Estates, and, second, by the provisions of the Act of Con- gress of May IT, 1884.
 From the treaty he cited the following to substs ntiate his con- tention:
 "The inhabitants of the ceded Territory $, they, with the ex- ception of the uncivilized native tribes shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property and re- ligion."
 Congress, he asserted, in recog- nition of that provision as to the property of the inhabitants in 1884 by legislation provided: That the Indians or other persons in said district shall not be disturbed in the possession of any lands actually in their use or occupancy or now claimed by them, but the terms under which such persons may acquire title to such lands is re- served for future legislation by Congress.
 Department Has Jurisdiction
 Jones' contention of lack of juris- diction was overruled by Asst. Sec-

 The meeting Monday evening is under auspices of the Juneau wom- ans Club. The program has been arranged by the Committee on American Homes of which Mrs. David Housel is chairman. She urges every woman, whether or not a member of the club, to be present to hear two entertaining. instructive speakers on two interesting, im- portant subjects.

the Territory might acquire title to or interest in vacant lands.
 His ruling then continues.
 By the provisions of the Act of May IT, 1884, the Indians or oth- CT persons in Alaska were not to be disturbed in the possession of lands actually in their use or occu- patton or then claimed by them It is certain that it was not in tended by such proviso to recognize claims by Indians or other persons in Alaska to vast areas of vacant lands, the only use or occupancy or claiming of which was by virtue of their common use for hunting or fishing purposes. What was re- served to them by the proviso was such tracts of land as were then used or occupied by them for resi- dence and agricultural purposes, for commercial purposes, for fishing rights and the like.
 Was Not Owned
 Tt is held that Johnson or his ancestors did not by virtue of the treaty or by reason of the provision of the Act of May IT, 1884, become entitled to the exclusive possession of the tract claimed by him.
 "As the land involved is includ- ed in the tract claimed by John son, and it is being held that he did not by the treaty or by the Act of May IT, 1884, acquire the ownership or the right to exclusive possession of the tract, it follows that the grantor of the defendant took nothing by the conveyance of Johnson to him, and for the same reason the conveyance by John- sons grantee to the defendant (Jones) was ineffective to vest in the defendant the right to exclusive possession"

when Mrs Ferguson was in the second

nation for the same post. But Mrs.
Ferguson was beaten in the August

declined his nomination and retained
his Federal appointment in Washington.
Had Mrs. Ferguson been the oppos-

have made a vigorous race, and large
elements within the Democratic party
were known to be ready to bolt. His
prospect for success, despite party
