rorant of the law, have often gone out into storms seeking shelter in the dark.
 On the last day when fishing was allowed THIS YEAR in Kla- Wock Bay, an old Indian, kuin Charley by name, man who has
 not made his salt for three years, caught ten thousand salmon. He
 loaded his boat. It was small and could only hold 5000 fish, The stream watchman went out
 to him and told him that he had to have his fish DELIVERED to the cannery by FIVE o'clock. Tho Ipoor fellow did not have time to run to the cannery and back so he started to tow the balance of the salmon to the cannery in his
 rursed-up seine. About half way, he struck a Snag and lost not only his fish but part of his
 net. Of course my poor Indian
 does not own a cannery and have money enough to go to Seattlt and meet Henry O'Malley or to Washington and see you, so he tells me his troubles add pro- test to Dan Sutherland, to the
 newspal!e !ers, to your or to your

Henry O'Malley and the Bureau oI Fisheries. All I want is a chance to prove it before an inn partial judge.
 Take the matter of closing the Chilkoot River.
 This is one of our ancient fish, ing grounds, and yet MT. O'Mal- ley has closed that small river Jo a point SIXTEEN BILES from it's mouth. The only gear that is practical in that locality is the gillnet. Because of that unjust regulation, our gill nets are not effective, because Is miles below the mouth forces us into clear, phosphorescent waters except in times of heavy rains when the lKatzehin River diScolOrS the water. I call your attention to the fact that Henry O'Malley permits fishing WITHIN the streams around Yakutat even tho it is contrary to law, and he permits it on the grounds that | it is the only practical fishing Imethod. We think that the real reason is that the great firm of Libby, McNeil & Libby wish it cone. But in the Chilkoot dis i itrct, he has closed us down 16
 miles below the rivers mouth 1 We have asked him to move the
 line to a point seven miles from the creek. Even this is unfair
 but our people are in sympathy
 with conservation; we rebel only
 cnly against carrying the whole load.

 On Monday morning, August 27, 1928, three crews of natives were awaiting the hour of six to begin fishing. Seing the stream near by, the nearest crew hailed him and said, What time is it noW?" This en- ployee of your department, Jas. Ross, said, "The Hell with you. Fish by your own time" The se- cond crew likewise asked your employee the time and received the same answer These two crews thereupOn looking at their clocks and finding the time to be C::20 began fishing in the pre- 6ence of the watchman. The third crew followed suit think ing it was all right since they saw two other crews talking with the watchman. The stream Watchman thereupOn arrested f.ll three boats and crews for fishing before six o'clock. The trouble was that the natives were using cannery time which was Seattle time or Pacific time-One hour earlier than Standard meridian time. Since this can I1.ery time regulated all their business (they quit fishing Sat urday by cannery time) they thot they were within the law This mistake cost each crew $4O( IpluS costs.

 Hon. Robert P. Lamont,

 Washington, D. c.
 My dear Secretary:
 You will find in your files a great deal of matter against me in the form of criticisms of Se- i cretary Hoover and the Bureau of Fisheries. I don't believe you will find any reference to MT. Hoover since he became Presl- Gent.
 But you will not find a single thing to indicate that l have been wrong in anything that I have said.
 All that my people in Alaska (and there are over 5000 of us banded together in the ALASKA NATIVE BROTHERHOOD ask for is a FAIR hearing. This Henry O'Malley as Fish Commis- sioner has never given us, and as you know, the law makes the Se- cretary of Commerce responsible for the sins of the Bureau of Fisheries-When MT. Hoover was Secretary it was MT. Hoover, and since you became the Secretary, you are the one. MT. HoOVer's attitude to this department that has the power of life and death was much the same as yours appears to be, namely, it to Henry O'Malley.
 My contention is this-that when a group of citizens feel they have a grievance, especially against a Bureau that has the extraordinary powers of the Fisheries Bureau, hey have un- der our Constitution a right to be heard.
 WE HAVE NEVER BEEN HEARD
 When Henry O'Malley was Lassing thru Ketchikan on his toat, the Brant, the secretary Of the seiner's association, consist ing almost entirely of Alaska natives numbering about thirty boats and employing over one hundred seiners having an av- craze family of three, invited MT. O'Malley to our meeting so THAT WE COULD DISCUSS THE FISHING REGULATIONS WITH HIM, particularly the Hook of" rule; but MT. O'Mal- ley refused to come and depart cd from town while we were gathered in a meeting waiting for him. His only message to us was this:-"If you are going to talk to me about the rule against he hook of, it is no use any way because I won't change it"
 Still we are entitled to our day in court.
 The injustice of the rule against holding a hook with cur Seines is this-the fish trap is nothing but hook which Op- crates 24 hours a day and which has an automatic trap which can t.e lifted and cleaned of fish without disturbing the HOOK CFF which is made by the LEAD to the shore
 Henry O'Malley permits the trap to use the "Hook-off," but forbids it to us with our form of moveable gear.
 The situation is this-virtual- ly every bay that is suitable to our form of gear for catching fish has been closed by Henry servation Hmm I'm: atE eta eta O'Malley under the plea of "con- servation." This has driven us into the open channels and wat CTS where salmon do not school and hence our gear is a failure To force the salmon to school, oe4

The clothes worn by little boy, be-
tween two and three years old, may be
made to help train him in self-reli-
ance if carefully designed. If he Is
obliged always to run to some older
person to be dressed, buttoned and un-
buttoned, he does not develop the in
dependence that he should have as he
comes into contact with other chill

oneself is a great source of self-con-

any mother to have her child able to
dress himself without her help and go
to the toilet alone. He soon begins
to take pride in selecting what he
wishes to wear, and at this stage can
be taught very readily to take care of
his clothes, both when he wears them
and when they ought to be put away
or laid out, ready for another day.
In the past, one of the greatest OBJ

the complicated system of buttons and
belts around his waist. There seems
to be no reason why boys trousers
