sian Czar's government denied virtually all rights to woman The husband legally the head of the family and his wife was obliged to follow him wherever he might go. The peasant woman was not entitled to share of land in her right. Wife beatingS common. She was always der the unlimited authority of some one, either her father or her husband.
 Lenine, however, said: We do not leave trace of the old tsarist laws which placed women in a subordinate and humating positiOn,' and such was the fact.
 One may comb the facts from end to end without finding any evidence of discrimination be- tween the sexes, EXCEPT certain protective legis- lation for women employed in industry. The peasant woman is entitled to her own equal share of land which she brings to her husband when she is married and takes away when she is divorced
 It remains for enlightened Alaska to deny wo- men their share of property earned by the joint efforts of the partnership called marriage The fact that the women might have cooked and ad- mlnlstered to the tired body of the gold digging man makes no difference She does her part of the agreement whether she goes with the man or remains away with his consent.

THE THREE COMMISSIONERS

Probably in the name of Democracy, President Hoover has appointed three commissioners to re- commend steps for improving governmental af- fairs in Alaska.
 It will be very surprising if these three repre- sentatives of Bureaucratic government recom- mended anything leading to true American gov- ernment of the people, for the people, by the peo- ple'
 Tt is harmony with that recent act Of the De- partment of the Interior which transferred re- sponsibty for the reindeer herds "f Alaska from the Office of Bureau of Education, in Washing ton, to that of the Governor of Alaska" says the announcement.
 Perhaps it is. But that move mistake and not in the best interest of the Natives of Alas ka, and in time will give forth the stench of another "Teapot Dome' affair. The tendency of this transfer is to "Lomenize" Alaska
 President Hoover would do well to make the elected offices of the Territory (the Treasurer the Auditor, and the Commissions rof Education) his advisors. This would be in line of Amercanizing the country, and their recommendations would have the backing of the people Of Alaska instead of their distrust and suspicious.

I will grant that on the basis of my letter to the Post, our differ ence seems to be a mere matter of opinion in which of course we are privileged to differ. But my opinion, at least is founded on years of experience in Alaska, an intimate knowledge of the sub- ject matter, and an extended and continuous contact with the Bu- reau of Fisheries antedating MT.

 My conclusion that the Bureau is fundamentally wrong in their administration of our fisheries is not mere opinion, but con- clusion that is borne of facts and

 Burlingame, Calf.
 Dear MT. White:
 Let me refer to the subject of the brown bear first, because my interest in them can be disposed of in a few words. You made the statement that Alaska was cre- ating an open season on brown bear. My exception is no quibble as you suggest, because from your several articles your praise goes to the Bureaus in Washing ton and your strictures go to Alaska Every word that a writ CT with the public which you have utters in praise of the Bu- reaus fastens their chains upon us more tightly I felt that you

FOREST FIRE AT NEW

School sHOuse Threatened
Large Area Burned Over

A call came from New Bridge
for the Community Fire Co., on
Monday afternoon, to help
fight a forest fire on the prem
Uses of Charles Steuart, in that
.ocality, that was spreading
and endangering buildings. A
number of the firemen respon-
ded, with engine, but the appa-
ratus could not be used. With
shovels and other implements
the firemen gave aid to the
Forest Warden, Motor Police
and others in fighting the fire,
which was spreading rapidly
through the heavy under
growth toward the New Bridge
public school building. School
was dismissed and taking their
stand at the school house back
firing was resorted to by the
fire-fighters and the building
saved.
The fire spread for a distance
of half mile or more along the
public road and back from it
covering a large area before it
was gotten under control by
the large force fighting it.
1t was undoubtedly of incen-
diary origin, but who set it is
not known.
