the first place-the eagle is not by any means as near extinction as folks in the States seem to i'm agine. A few days ago, along that bit of shore line between Ideal Cove and Point Frederick, in Frederick Sound, a matter of ten miles of shore line, I counted from the boat, fourteen eagles. There were no salmon as yet this season along that shore but there were no salmon in other places, so it could hardly be charged that this shore had more than it's normal quota of eagles. And I did not shoot any of them either, although I have la fox farm on Coney Island ap- prCXimately midway of that ten

 Dear Sir: I have your letter addressed to the Editor of The Alaskan, also a clipping of your letter to the Seattle Times, in regard to the eagles of Alaska There are one or two phases of this matter on which I might take friendly is sue with you, but let us agree be- fore hand that a good natured discussion, or even honest differ ence of opinion between friends can do no harm. In writing this to you, I take full cOgnizance of the fact that I am addressing a man who missed more outbound boats than I have and who has at least as good a right to his opinion as I have to mine, but I would not hail you as brother beachcCmher after reading your remark about the rest of us. And you should not insinuate that Alaskans are unpatriotic, but mere words cannot refute that charge. '. About this eagle business, it seems to me a lot of Well-mean- ing folks in the States are per mitting themselves to get "all het up and bothered" over a purely imaginary calamity. In

If after you have tried at home and found that you can 0o better elsewhere, which we very much doubt for our mer- chants are ever on their toes to give the people of this commun- ity good value, then is plenty of time to seek other places to spend your money.
 Home-spent dollars remain here and work for uS-a fact that has been proven time and again. Anything that we can do individually to make this community more prosperous will help to increase our own prosper ity. When We spend money at home we are, in a way, eating cur cake and keeping it, too.
 Without this town as a trad ing center, it is doubtful if we would have the schools, the churches, the good roads that are an active part of our every day community life. To retain them and increase their scope of influence, it is necessary that we maintain the town that has made them possible.

 Alright Editor Stone. Quit talking generalities and start on a specific proposition of patron izing home industry-and labor
 Down in the Ketchikan dis trict are employed some 5000 Filipinos and Orientals down to wage as low as $80 and a place to sleep and a questionable diet of food. Hire more local help labor with a standard that re- quires more than $80 for three to five months labor.
 Every saWmill hires the same kind of labor in the spring of the year to batter down the wages of resident millmen; they hire Wash ington millmen in preference to residents who, by force of cir cumstances are thus compelled to work at the lower wage or not at all
 Home earned dollars are home spent dollars. 1t does not only mean that the dollars give the storekeepers their profits but it means building of permanent homes, meaning more cutting ot lumber for the homes, more en- ployment of other labor and ar increasing circle of prosperity.
 Without the population you have no trading center. Without industry labor centers diminish and labor follows it's market Look at the ghost cities of Neva- da-What good all the past glOr- ies of the hectic mining days ot that section. In some of those old towns may be seen speci- men of humanity that might have been just as aggressive in a business way as anyone in Alas ka. They probably hung on with the hope and expectation of bus mess to come. But trading cen ters without population are not worth ten cents on the dollar.
 Yes, begin at home. Nothing sentimental or begging about that request for' the industries of this country to employ local. resident labor, ito trade with home town merchants. If you have tried and found the cheap imported labor more profitable hire more steamers and bring them in by the carload lot. Any thing we (you) can do individu- ally to make President labor) more prosperous will help to in- crease your own prosperity. When you employ resident labor you are eating your cake and keeping it.

O'MALLEYS EXCUSE - CAPT. HUNTERS AFFIDAVIT - THE
 LOG OF THE "BRANT"

The captain apparently defending his chief because of the entry HOO pm. slow bell awaiting tide" says: "On leaving Ketchikan l estimated about two hours would be required at Anan Creek x MT. O'Malley being in a hurry stayed about an hour at Anan Creek and as we had good luck with tide and wind 1t put us about two hours ahead of time I estimated it would be favorable to enter the NarroWs."
 Did Captain Hunter learn for the first time at Anan Creek that O'Malley was in a hurry? Apparently so because he now excuses the stay of only 55 min utes by saying that MT. O'Malley was in a hurry whereas Hunter had figured two hours.
 The tide from Anan Creek to Wrangell via Zimovia Straits would be fair virtually all the way.
 figured before I got the log hat the Brant would arrive at Anan Creek at ' pm, showing that my estimate of her speed
 5 very nearly correct since the
 3rant arrived there at 7:05 pm. So that I figured that the Brant would arrive at Pt. Alexander (entrance of Wrangell Narrows) yoing at normal speed at l am.
 July 4th.
 Bear in mind that O'Malley avs he hurried away from Ket- ,hikan because he wished to | make Wrangell Narrows. When
 lid he enter Wrangell NarroWs? He was under "SlOW bell' at II o.m., which would put him just n front of the town of Wrangell n line of Woronofski Pt, fully t9 knots from the NarroWs. But even under slow bell, he would arrive at Pt. Alexander Light at 3 am, which I take it is the | meaning of Capt. Hunters entry
 8 am. full ahead"
 What was the condition of the tide at 3 am?
 The tide was ebbing and at the strongest stage of the ebb tide, % strong that the waters run ming south thru the NarroWS resemble a river. Low tide that morning was 4:36 am, on a minus IA tide. .. Hunters log now says the Brant was running full speed 9head bucking probably 5 knot ebbing tide. This would bring him to the worst point in the channel at extreme low tide.
 What does MT. O'Malley mean when he says he was hurrying to catch the tide at the Narrows? He actually arrived there at the very worst stage of the tide ev- en after he had slowed down for four hours under "slow bell" Was it NECESSARY for him to inspect the weir at Anan i Creek?
 Was that duty more important than the meeting at which 35 boat owners, employers of 150 men to whom some 500 women and children were looking for their bread and butter, were try ing to exercise their right of pc tition to an officer of the United States Government, right guar anteed under the Constitution of the United States?
 He inspected the weir! ! What did he find? What importance was it? I maintain that even if the President of the United States had been on the Brant and he wished to inspect" a fish weir, the Presidents curiOs- ity should give way and be sub ordinate to the rights of the 35

struck at their very right to earn living-a property right in deed; to protest a regulation which was so f1agrantly wrong and indefensible that MT. O'Mal- ley himself reScinded it in his re- gulations for 1880, which act of reScinding is used by his sup porters in Congress as a proof of his fairness and desire to be fair" That defense is like the burglar who, when caught red handed, in his crime should seek to escape punishment by offering to restore the goods.
 I think you should inquire of Mir. O'Malley concerning the ab- sence of l0g entries from 8 pm, of July 3rd to 5:43 am, July 4th taking in the distance from An an Creek to Mitkof Pt., or about TO knots (80 statute miles,.
 don't believe the log book is silent on that.
 |. If it is right, there must have been collision between Hunter and O'Malley because it is con trary to the practice of naviga- ton. I am very sure that the Lighthouse Service will tell you that every light in the NarroWs is noted by the navigator, and should be noted; that LemeSurier Pt., Neal Light on Vanks, Pt. Alexander, are lights that are noted even by amateurs.
 The only period in which Hunter fails to mark the usual log book entries is from Ship IS- land to Mitkof Pt., covering the only area in which we are inter ested, and the only area involved in O'Malley's excuse for not at tending our meeting of protest Every other area is minutely not ed in the fog book.
 A fair hearing by you, MT. La mont, under conditions wherein our poor people could testify would readily convince you and every other reasonable man that we. the Natives of Alaska, have been wronged by Henry O'Mal- ley; that we are the object of his studied discriminations; t h O'Malley's defenses are but af- terthoughts or red herring which seek to take your attention from his crimes by calling attention to my political sins, those sins themselves born amidst the tra- vail and hunger of my people driven from their ancient fish 1 ing grounds, all in the name o1 conservation" and Robert P Lamont.

These conditions must spring out of the deception prac- ticed upon you by Henry O'Mal- ley.

DEMOCRATS TURN
 GUT FOR CAUCUS
Attendance Is Biggest Feature Of
 Saturdays Meeting
Especial to the Herald)

Newington, Sept. Is - That the efforts of the leaders of the reorga- nization of the democratic party have borne fruit was evidenced by the numbers that turned out to the caucus Saturday night As one prominent democrat stated more voters turned out to this caucus than had turned out to all the combined caucuses held in the past five years.
 The meeting was called to order by the chairman of the town com- mittee. Walter L. Morgan, who asked who the choice might be for moder- ator.
 The names of John Fish and George W. Firth were presented.
 It was then moved that the ballot be taken by rising and names checked on the check list. This was carried and the result was that Mir. Firth received 24 votes and MT. Fish received 23 votes. MT. Morgan de- clared Mir Firth to be the choice for moderator.
 MT Morgan then called for clerk and several names were presented with MT. Morgan, but all declined the honor and MT. Morgan was voted In as clerk.
 In taking his place as moderator, MT. Firth called on Merle E. Nor rison, delegate to the state conven- ton to give an account of the work at the convention.
 MT. Firth then called on pr. Ed ward G. Dolan of Manchester State Central committeeman from the fourth district to address the voters.
 Dr. Dolan said he was pleased to see such a large representation at a Newington democratic caucus as in past years when invited to speak here he rarely had more than a dozen or 15 to speak to. He con- graduated the party upon the type of men sent to the state convention.
 He called on the women to form a Federated Women's Democratic club of which there were six already formed in the state.
 He stated that the candidate for governor on the democratic ticket represented everything any person can call for. He said Dean Cross walked miles, when in his teens, to school to get his education, then went to Yale.
 He declared that MT. Cross would not be a rubber stamp type of gov

OpuoiuS Shda Dr. Dolan's advice was again sought and he stated the chair had the right to prcsupposing that the electing of a new town committee came under the head of unfinished business.
 MT. Morgan said that at the last caucus held in August he stated he was willing to give up the chairman ship and Committeeman John F. Walsh asked why no meeting of the committee had been called so as to take action on the matter.
 The following were then elected as members of the town committee: George w. Firth, J. Edward Car ragher. John F. Walsh, John Black L. L. Reddick, Mary E. Hayes. Mary G. McCusker and Daniel J. Kerr.
 Mir. Reddick expressed the desire to decline the office of committee man as he did not feel he could at tend many meetings as he lived too far away, but MT. Firth stated that MT. Reddick would have very steadying influence on the commit tee and begged him to reconsider. l Mir. Reddick then consented. Moderator Firth asked that power | should be given the town commit 1 tee to fill any vacancies that might occur between now and election. | This power to fill such vacancies was granted.

 On the office of library director the name of Mrs. Mary E. Hayes was placed but Mrs. Hayes stated she was elected to that position last year to serve three-year term so she still has two years to serve.
 Miss Ida L. Kellogg was then placed for library director Miss Kellogg had been librarian for 20 years and only recently resigned. No opposition. was made to her nomination.
 James M. Mulligan received the nomination as the first member of the finance board. Mir. George ". Firth's name was placed but declin- ed and asked that MT. L. L. Red i dick, who is now a member Of that board, being appointed by Select man Gilbert to fill the position left vacant by the death of Thomas Holt, be nominated
 No opposition was made to this Daniel J. Kerr and Peter E. Me Guinness were nominated on the town plan commission and Merle E. Morrison as fire commissioner. Moderator Firth then stated that all the business called for was fin- ished.
 But he added the fact remained that at the caucus held last year the meeting adjourned before the new democratic town committee was elected and he considered that un- finished business and should now be taken up.
 Reference was made that the year book of the party called for election
New Britain herald., 1930-09-15

written in on the ballot would make the ballot void, received the reply that that would be up to the moderator of the election.
 The charge was made that two names had been taken off the cau- GUS list but MT. Morgan assured the caucus that it was not intentional.
 MT. Morgan stated he had been registrar of voters for 10 years and also town committee chairman and had called many meetings for cau- GUS and no interest was displayed and what few did show up ad- journed to a neighbours veranda and drew up the slate.
 John r. Walsh asked for the floor and stated a few facts in regard to the caucus held on August 2S and said the party had no leader and no registrar.
 He charged the chairman of the democratic town committee with be- ing lax.
 On the nominations for members of the school committee, Mary Hayes received 80 votes against An na Kellogg's 12. and Jean Finnegan received 27 votes against Anna kel- logg's 10.
 Claims Harmony
 Mr. Fish stated there was har- mony and the new crowd was out in larger numbers and had every thing their own way. Mir. Kerr re- piled they were organizing demo- cratic party in Newington and if the old crowd did not like it that 1t was just too bad.
 Mir Morrison stated that the old crowd started harmony by electing MT. Morgan registrar of voters over
