We need the support of tn'

with other kinds of gear to our towns and other industries.
 We need the support of all of the labor used in the fishing in austry-the twenty-five thou sand non resident workmen who flock here each summer for the cannery season.
 Tn supporting and carrying through the second measure, we will be in a fair way to realize this also. We will likewise check, before it is too late, one of the gravest injustices, if not outright steals that has ever been attempted in these United States: towit, the pulp sales.
 Our Delegate to Congress must be instructed to insist and we must back him up in that in .Sistance by every means at our disposal, on every measure which will allow the lands of Southeastern Alaska to pass to .he hands of bona f1de settlers as timber claims in tracts not to exceed 160 acres.
 Recognizing the fact that nearly all of the land here is timber land, and the value of forest practice, it would be as well to ask that such a measure should carry a rider which pro- Vides that all such lands not used for agricultureal or other commercial purposes be under the jurisdiction of forest offlc- CTS, insofar as the cutting of timber is concerned. Not the time of cutting or the amount Of cutting,-demand should and must regulate that-but to see that destructive deforestation Idoes not take place.
 This would offer an induce Iment to our fishermen and can nery help to stay here. It would ing thousands of settlers here, It would eventually mean that there would be no occasion for lthe canneries to import all of their help. It would also place our timber resources on the market in such a manner that they would be a paying asset. < I cannot see where this latter
 measure can meet with much opposition. It is a departure from existing land regulations to be sure, but changing condi- tons call for concessions. We must recognize the possibility ot damage to our forests, which un- regulated cutting methods en- tail. That is common sense. If this is proided for, I can see no just reason why the title to the land should not pass to the in- dividual nor why Alaska should lie denied the right to offer homes and recompense to any Icne desiring to settle here. All of our land is not more valuable as timber land than for other purposes. Settlers who come here to take up timber claims will some of them branch out into other industries. The bulk of the land may eventually pass to the hands of pulp com panies. What if it does? It will be taXable-forest practice will be provided for-people can own homes on it-develop it.
 Many will use the income de- rived from the forests and fish cries to support them in an eff fort to start fur farms and other industries to which this coun- try is adapted. Think what the results of these two measures would be.
 Very truly yours,

,andicaps, notwithstanding the

handicaps, notwithstanding the fact that the industry has in creased to large proportions 8. q that there is an equally large iL- vestment in that production.
 All through the States where there is production of anything that is large enough to bring it to the public's notice, you will find that they have much assist ance to work out their problems Problems that must be worked out not only from a rough ranch standpoint, but also from a sci entif1c standpoint, and many such points cannot be worked out by the ranchers, as they have not the equipment or knowledge to do so.
 The working out of these problems to a certainty, spells the assured success of this fur ranching game.
 Tn visiting the different fur ranches, or in talking to the men who own and run them, you will find that there are al- most as many different ways of handling and feeding of the an- imals as there are ranches, and it stands to reason, that all those many ways cannot be all right, in fact it proves itself out that many of them must be wrong, as some of the ranches in question do not show the re- suits that they should show. The rancher cannot be blamed for this, as without help from some source on which he can depend, he must go ahead and try to work out the problem for himself. and naturally this de- velopS into many ways of trying and consequently many mis- takes.
 These years of trying, and many times unsuccessful, are
 very expensive to the fur ranch
 CT, in many cases are the cause
 of his making a bare. existence. instead of making money on the venture as he is justly entitled to make.
 It follows then to my mind
 that this source of information which will put the fur +raneher
 on the right trail, should come from the Government, through
 experimental fur farms, oper-
 ated by men who know not only the practical side of the ques- tion, but also who can work out the different problems from a scientific standpoint.
 There is no production that ] know of which more richly de-
 serves such assistance than do the fur rancherS, and I believe We would find that fur ranchers would do all they could to CO., operate with such institutions, and owing to the fact that the fur industry is so widely distri- buted, would like very much to see a real experimental fur farm established at central point in Southeast Alaska and also another in a similar place in Southwestern Alaska
 The conditions in localities so liar apart would naturally be different, and would have to have individual study, and then the experimental farms should be where each locality could reach it as easily as possible.
 I firmly believe that if Alaska as a whole, knowing the neces- sity, will take hold of this move, that We can have these experi- mental fur farms established, and that within a short time.

A WORD TO THE WISE
Petersburg, Alaska
 March 1, 1880

March l, lSoU The ALASKAN,
 Petersburg, Alaska.
 Gentlemen:
 It is time for AlaskanS to rally round to do something in sup port of our delegate in Congress. If we expect to be worthy ofgbe- ing called American citizens, We cannot sit back and allow Dan Sutherland'S efforts on Alaska's behalf to go unsupported.
 If We cannot muster up cour- age enough to talk as we vote if we are afraid of the conse- ouences which an open cam paign, publicly expressed by our commercial bodies might bring down upon our individual heads If We let our personal, petty fears and jealousies stand in the way of joining and helping a movement for the relief of Alas Ia, we are not worthy the name of man.
 History tells us that practical ly every State in the Union has had to make it's own fight and has been the victim of political profiteering and misrale in one form or another. Attempts have been made before to take away the rights of sparsely settled countries without representa- tion. History also tells us that in no case was relief extended by Congress unless a strong fight was put up by the people of the oppressed territory
 Alaska stands today at the point where people have either got to join hands in campaign of publicity with a view of elim- mating Bureaucratic misrule of Alaska or forever go down in the pages of history as the only Ter ritory in which the residents did not have backbone enough to stand to the defense of thei~ country's heritage.
 There will always be disagree ment as to the means to an end; there will always be men on both sides of an argument and many on the fence.
 In my estimation there gre at the present moment, two meas ures vital to the welfare of the Territory For these the people of Alaska should stand with an undivided front, regardless of their own petty jealOusies or per sonal interests for the good of their country.
 First of these is the abolish ment of fish traps as a means of catching salmon or other fish.
 We are justified in this stand for the reason that the regula- tions on fish traps as they now stand, constitute a support and maintenance of the rankest kind of special privileges. One man or corporation cannot be allowed to fish trap in our Alaskan waters and his neighbor or busi- ness competitor be denied the privilege of fishing one on another location no more detri- mental to the free passage of fish. In justice the country must be thrown open to trap fishing on every available loca- tion or the trap must be abol- I ished altogether
 The country cannot be thrown open to traps without grave danger of over fishing and re- gardless of what has been said and printed regarding the self seeking and greed of Alaskans, yet think that we have at heart the seriousness of the respons-
