GOODWILL-CANI TT BE ATTAINED?

Every prominent canneryman hopes for the goodwill of the people of Alaska. They deplore what they call "the fight made upon them' by the Natives, and wish for peace and good will.
 We would point out effective way to this than by "wishing," and refer to what occurred last summer in Kasaan.
 This is town inhabited entirely by natives of Alaska. Its men fish in seine boats but make so little money that the women are compelled to work to provide for the winter. In former years these women found employment in the very can nery that exists within tl,eir townsite and usual ly earned somewhere around $1OO.
 But last summer, not single woman was employed for as much as one-half hour. All of this labor performed by imported contract ed Filipino labor who were paid off Gin Seattle" You can't have good will On an empty stomach

Here's Hen That Liued
s Months Buried
In Hay MoU

EAST KuLINGSIEY, Conn,
April Sin the last few days
Otis Chase, q farmer near here,
has been digging into the lower
strata Of his haymow to get
hay for his stock, and yesterday
he dug up a story Of tortitude
and patience under hardship
that the annals Of East XII
lingsly cannot duplicate. The
tale Is entirely one Of inference
since its only character Is Q
white Wyandotte hen, which
cannot describe its experiences.
The hen was rescued from
the bottom Of a heap Of several
tons OF hay In ChaSe'S barn,
where it had apparently lain
alive for more than eight
months, or since the middle Of
the haying season last summer.
The hen was Q year old When
its imprisonment began last
summer, weighing six or seven
pounds, a fine figure Of q white
Wyandotte, fat and feathery.
It's rescuers found q pitiful
spectacle, q hen that could be
held in one hand. tipping the
scales at only n pound and 0
half, most Of which was bone
and feathers.
