Honoring an Old Indian

The United States Geographic al Board has named a mountain on Baranof Island "AnnahOOtzs.' 7 The mountain is situate near Nakwisina Pass and is not far from Katlian Mountain named after Katlian, another Indian.
 Katlian and his people never recognized the authority of the Russian trader government un- der Baranof or any other. They defeated the armed forces of the Russian American Company and forced the Russians to retreat.
 Annahootzs, leader of the Ka- guam tahn clan served in Sitka as a policeman by appointment oy the Naval department. It was Cnly recently that he received compensation for his services.
 Governor Bone gave Anna hootz an autographed picture. inscribed ITO my friend Chiet AnnahoOtz." The inscription was read to Annahootz. He returned the photograph to Gov, Bone and said: T am citizen and not chief. All that I put away from me when I joined the Alaska Ma. tive Brotherhood"

Bootleggers Where
 You Find Them

Bootlegging is not an industry Indigenous only to the United States. According to the pres o1 seattle, England is having it's own troubles with home brewing which it is said is being one on ;. large scale.
 Official figures show that dur Ing the past 16 years the annual consumption of legal beer has decreased by 67,952,286 gallons Cellar and kitchen breweries are held largely responsible for this cimunition.
 Beer is exciseable if it contains he alcohol equivalent of 2 per cent proof spirits.
 Home brewing eliminates pay Inent of the duty now enforced py the government. Legitimate treWerS' associations are up in arms against the underground liquor traffic and it is probable that a government inquiry will te made and some form of na- tiOnal control suggested.

but the late run of fish.
 In re 3rd: The weekly closed plan guarantees a uniform es- exponent of salmon throughout the entire season. With the ab- olishment of the fish trap there would be a positive gain in the escapement of salmon to the spawning grounds approximat- ing ten million salmon.
 In re 4th: The great common wealths of Oregon and Washing ton to protect their resident po- pulation, have deemed it wise and necessary to permit only re- sidentS of 12 months standing or more to fish in their waters. If it is good for those States, it 1 is good for Alaska. If the United States is really wanting to stop the flight of white population from Alaska, a measure of this kind must be adopted. In re 5th: Herring is a food fish and even under the present law, it's use for fertilizer must be held to be wanton waste and therefore unlawful.
 1 In re 9th: This rule would place seines and traps on ar
 equal basis in this respect. 1 Adopted this 18th day of Mo-
 vember, 1929, at Haines, Alas

Regarding Alaska
 Fisheries

Practically every Indian resi- lent of Southeastern Alaska is a fisherman of many years ex- perience, having been born to the business and making living fishing, and
 There is no person or group of persons to whom the business of fishing is more important, for which reason we affirm that the .atives of Southeastern Alaska Ire qualified to speak and have the right to speak on the sub lect of fishing and fish regula- CiCns;
 Therefore, We Hereby Resolve That the saving of the fast dis appearing salmon and the fast decreasing white population of Alaska can only be stopped by .he adoption of the following principles and rules:
 First. Foremost and ne- cessary. the fish trap must be abolished;
 2nd: The seasonal closed pc riod must be abolished;
 3rd: Escapement of the salmon must be provided for by a weekly closed season plan either of the same duration as at present, to- ait, 36 hours, or by an extension of the same;
 4th: A discrimination must be made between resident Alas t.ans and nonresident fisher
 uen following the regulations sdopted by the States of Oregon and Washington. 5th: The use of herring fol fertilizer must be prohibited; 9th: In the event that the trap system is retained, no tray should be permitted to hold ol l have therein any fish whateve. after any closed period takes eff feet.

AlaSka's Mineral
 Production

Washington advices state the final tabulation of the U. s. Ge- clogical Survey of mineral pro- duction in the Territory of Alas ka for 1928 shows the total val 1e of the product of the mines to be $14,061, ,OOO for the year. Which is s9OO,OOO greater than for the proceeding year. The pro- duction of copper showed a de- decrease of $1,285,OOO. The prin- cipal items in the production for 1928 are as follows:
 Copper :. :. :. .. .. 5,965, ,OOO
 Silver .. :. .. :. .. j.. 266, ,OUO
 Coal 662
 The total production of min erals since mining began in the Territory is approximately six billion dollars.

Argument

The primary cause of the de-
 pletion of the salmon fisheries
 is the fish trap with it's 24-hour efficiency as against the daylight efficiency of the seine and the gill net, hence point No. 1 above.
 In re End: The seasonal clos cd plan does not provide a pro per or scientific escapement of salmon and brings a great dan ger to the salmon industry of Alaska as proper escapement for the early run of fish is not pro- yided for. There is great dan ger that iE time, Alaska will have

RESPONSIBILITY OF CONGRESS.

With the two major parties about equally rep resented in each the Senate and the House the leaders in Congress have opportunity to ex- to politicians and mast Senators and Representa- lives were politicians before they were legislators to play politics under existing circumstances IS oo- viously large But before party advantage must come the countrys business and the welfare of the people There must be divided responsibility in Congress for the almost equal party divisions make it impossible for either party to maintain an ascend encv at all times Under the circumstances Demo- crats and Republicans have serious responsibilities to perform They must agree, if that is possible that the country might carry on The fact that a business and industrial depression exists makes more important the need for cooperation for the good of the country There ought to be an agree ment for the modification of the Hawley-Smoot tariff measure and further than that it would be well to keep habtualy partisan measures in the back ground Prohibition is not strictly partisan. There are wet and dry Republicans and Democrats.
 Our Constitution different than the constitu- tions of most countries does not admit of another election at an early date. The Senate and House chosen Tuesday must continue to function for two years and they cannot function without some sort of an understanding Before the two years shall have elapsed it is possible that program might be worked out that will command majorites in both houses without cramping the style of individuals But until then or throughout the two years if that does not occur, there must be give and take ar rangement that will avoid paralyzing deadlock.

COTTON SPINNING.

For the first time in several years North Caro- lima passed South Carolina in cotton manufacturing in September The lead very slight but it was a lead North and South Carolina each produced nearly twice as much cotton goods Massachu- setts and Georgia almost overlook the New Eng land State. New England produced a little less than 2315 per cent of the cotton goods output for September. The South produced about 75 per cent. of the cotton fabrics of the country More spndles were operated in the country during September than in August, but the deficiency from year ago was about per cent. from September 1929. The loss was mostly in New England, New York and New Jersey

Help Alaska Get Air Mail Service.
Seattle t-Intelligencer.


 Isn't it about time for Seattle to turn seriously and untedly to the business of securing establish ment of an air mail route to Alaska?
 An existing commercial line has taken the two preliminary steps necessary to qualify it to submit bids-when and if bids are asked for
 Don B. Bennett Business Manager of the Alaska Washington Airways Corporation said the other day
 Now all that remains is to make the
 postal department understand through let
 ters from local citizens and business houses,
 that the Northwest really nedes and wants
 the service.
 Seattle and the Pacific Northwest do need and do want the service. And the people and business houses of Alaska deserve the service.
 Charles M Perkins Seattle Postmaster has writ ten postal authorities at Washington, D. C., in- dorsing the proposed route.
 This first air mail link with Alaska is planned to have Seattle and Juneau as it's terminals.
 Once it is established, there should be no undue delay in extending air mail service to the widely separated points in the Interior of the Northern Territory
 Winter brings to thousands of Alaska's citizens and business communities an isolation wholly out of harmony with the modern rhythm of this great Nation. But winter also makes Alaska's Interior one vast airport where planes equipped with skis may land the snow at almost any point.
 Even in summer, with more rapid and more widely spread facilities of travel than winter af- lords in the North, there is too much delay in the transit of mail between Alaska and the States ano between Interior and coastal points
 The gap between Seattle and Alaska should be closed with swift delivery of air mail, to be fol- lowed by similar system to all points in the Interior.
 Banishing of isolation would encourage travel and settlement in the North, it would facilitate business, and it would give great impetus to de- veopment.
 This would mean much to Seattle and Seattle should work with determination to bring it about

Is Your
Stomach
A A''Gasser"?

Excessive gas in stomach and bowels
doesn't necessarily mean that your food
is at fault or that you have chronic
dyspepsia. In most cases it results from
gastric neurasthenia-a purely nervous
condition which disturbs the functional
activity of the stomach. Taking medi-
cine TO digest the food artificially is a
waste of time. What you need Is a
remedy to correct the nervous trouble
and prevent the formation of abnormal
gas.
Go to your, druggist, and ask for a
package of Baalmann's Gas Tablets,
which are prepared especially for this
ailment. See how quickly they will
relieve pent-up gas and all it's dis
tressing symptoms among which are
