URGED
 TO FIGHT INDIAN
 RESERVE ORDER
Nabesna Mining Man Says Native Fur Farm Idea
 Is Ridiculous E

CORDOVA, Alaska. = Protest against federal bureaucracy's latest maneuver to assert despotism over Alaskan domain is registered by Carl Whitman, president of the Ma besna Mining Corporation, who has appealed to Cordova to act quickly and aggressively against the estab- lishment of a reservation for the Indians of Alaska in the neighbor- hood of the Nabesna River. MT. Whitham's communication follows;
 The forming by executive order signed by President Hoover of an Indian reservation in the region around the headwaters of the Tan ana River and the Nabesna River district is a matter that vitally con- cerns all Alaskans.
 Areas of Vast Extent
 "The purported area withdrawn from settlement entry and develop ment is stated to be 625 square miles. The boundaries of the area of the reserve take in vast re- zion, of over 2,000 square miles in area, a considerable portion of which is known to be mineral bear ing land, in particular that portion of the reserve from the Tok River in a southerly direction to the sum-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-10-10

Two hundred Tetlin Indians have a reservation of 1000 square miles of land set aside for them. The 35, ,OOO remaining Alaska natives should be entitled to as fair treat- ment at the hands of the govern ment. This will mean placing 350,000 square miles of Alaska territory into Indian reservations, considerably over half the area of entire Alaska. It-is very doubtful that Alaska con- tains 350,000 square miles of land suitable or desirable for Indian reservations but possibly we might buy some from Canada or else make another land deal with Russia.
 Stagnation and Decay
 "The Indian reservation program for Alaska, is, I consider the big gest and rawest land sovereignty grabbing plan ever attempted by any autocratic bureau at Washing ton, D. C., and will if carried out as planned mean stagnation and decay of Alaska progress for all time to come.
 q am, as are the vast majority of Alaskans, full of sympathy for our natives and anxious to help them in any feasible way to better their condition of life. Vocational training schools they surely should have. Teach them to keep and value their independence.
 Helped By White Man
 "The interior Indian of Alaska makes his living easier and sustains himself 90 per cent better since he has come into contact with the white man. The natives will gain more in one years association with white civilization and personal con- tact with whites than they would in ten years time isolated on some Indian reservation.
 "I respectfully petition you, The cordova Chamber of Commerce to usc all efforts to defeat this In-

nit of Bear Creek and from there to the divide of the Alaska Range around the head of the Nabesna River. Prospectors are working in this section of the reserve at the present time in total ignorance of the Presidents reservation order.
 "Thc object for forming the re- serve is so natives living in the vii clnity of Tetlin Lake may be taught fur farming, it is stated E Plan Is Called Absurd
 Tt is absurd to think that a reservation is necessary to provide room for native fur farms, practi- cally all the land embraced in this reservation is and has been at all times free and open to the use of the natives with no encroachment by white settlers or trappers, save two or three trading posts located in the native villages. Fur farm ing is an intensified. industry and ten square miles of land would be more room than the Tetlin natives will need for fur farms for genera tions to come.
 The number of fur farms posSi- ble to maintain economically in this district will be small, the cost of transporting food from distant sources to feed fur animals will be prohibitive and the supply of fish and game available for fur food in the reservation is limited. The greatest calamity that. could hap pen to the development and ad- vancement of the Alaska native would be to place him on a reser- vation.
 Traders Might Benefit
 N "The few established trading posts located in this new formed Indian reservation may profit by having a monopoly on the reservation fur trade, but the Tetlin Indians will reap neither benefit nor profit from being isolated on a reservation.

The United States Census figures reflect ten dency that becomes more and more marked in mod ern civilization. The rate of the increase in the population sackens and the rural population dim inshes relatively to that of the towns which depend on industry. Americas rate of incerase is still, of course, high, very much higher than that of this country. The preliminary estimate of this month S census, 122 698 190, represents an incerase of l61 per cent. 1920 but with the exception of the decade from 1910 to 1920 (when the war checked immigration it is the smallest in the census his tory of the United States. Tn the decade ending in 1880 the increase was as much as 30 per cent, in the following decade 25 per cent. The days of fev- 'ershly expanding population spreading itself over vast unsettled plains over. America is witness ing the beginnings of the reverse movement, by which the country gives up its sons to industry and a town civilization. As yet the balance has only just dipped the side of preponderant urban population; less than 60 per cent. of the people of the United States live in towns, as com

The two States with largest percentage gains California (which has added GAG per cent) and Florida (which has added 51 per cent) To some extent perhaps this represents the wealth of the United States, which has created large leisured class able to retire to the deectable parts of the country but in California it is also the result of the growth of very modern industry, the films.

LIPTON'S CHALLENGE WELCOMED.

Sir Thomas Liptons announcement that he Will make another attempt for the Americas Cup IS gratifying news Immediately after his recent, un- successful effort to lift the trophy he declared he never again would compete for the international yachting honor which has been retained in thls country ever since requirement from England in 1851 For the last 3l years of the 79 during which the coveted prize has been held by the United States he has been the only challenger. His re- peated trials it is said have cost at least S5 000- O0O Taking into account monetary outlay in the past and certainty of heavy expenditure in the future his change of mind with respect to enter ing the competition again with scant prospect of success may seem i-advised. There are other considerations.
 Lipton is q bachelor 81 years old, of immense wealth At his age sometimes impeled to continue the activities of lifetime to insure the economic welfare of immediate relatives, to satisfy an nordinate desire for greater riches or to enhance personal power He long since retired from participation in commercial pursuitS-the tea industry he founded and built to huge proportions being conducted independently of his direction. He has no prospective heirs dependent his bounty. With cessation of business endeavor, he yielded dominance in trade-the only field he sought to influence
 Without effecting the expectations of descend- ants, in wealth far beyond all necesSous or luxurious wants for the remainder of his existence and disdainfu of distinction in the realm of com merce he is free to indulge in the costly but laudble ambition of regaining for Britain eminence in yachting.
 Of course yachting, typifed by the races for the Americas Cup of no practical value Wind driven vessels are virtually obsolete utility craft Perhaps for this they are of slight interest from sporting viewpoint. Either foi service amusement, they not of much greater consequence than bows and arrows. Craft witf dependable power and speed demanded fol business and pleasure Deprived of Lipton's en- gazing charm and personality, the historic cur races would attract but little attention, and might be abandoned entirely.
 Lptons genial persistence, his fair, generous sportsmanship his lovable character, wholly devoid of pretense have endeared him to the American people. Far and large, he is the best ambassador of goodwill that Great Britain has ever sent tC the United States. In greater degree than al plenipotentiaries, he has promoted friendly rela tions between the two Englsh-speaking nations Any victory he might have accomplished on wate could not have approached in importance the tri umph in international comty he has achieved iron sailboat defeats.
 Certainly, Americans are glad of his promiseC determination to contest for the yachting troph again Not a few entertain the hope that in tn next trial he will be successful Win lose, ham in greeting is extended him, an honest friend

CORONATION ISLAND DISASTER EMPHASIZES THE NEED FOX

That was very serious catastrophe that sent ten fishing boats to the bottom at Coronation Island and resulted in the loss of the life Of Rudolph Bernhort of Ketchikan. It one of those things only more than usually severe, that call attention to the hazardous life led by fishermen and argues strongly for the justice of large re- muneratve rewards and every possible safeguard for those who farm the seas
 The storms that have ragged along the Alaska coast eliminating in the Coronation Island dis aster, emphasize the need for quick action in re- stationing a Coast Guard cutter at Juneau. The Unalga left the post she filled so well for many years several months ago, and we are now rushing headong into another long winter without the re- placement that is vitaly necessary. The Juneau Chamber of Commerce has been calling attention to the need for cutter here, but thus far has been unable to get anything more than promises

Changing Dry Sentiment.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Senator Wesley L. Jones' of Washington, strange ly enjoy at this time of changing public sentiment with reference to Prohibition policies has informed the Associated Press that he was not the author of the mediaeva measure which bears his name.
 Never until has Senator Jones denied par entage of this fearsome legislative offspring On the contrary, he heretofore has appeared to be proud of his generally recognized paternity.
 The Washington statesman informs the public that the idea of the bill not his, but came from the Department of Justice He asserts that he merely introduced the bill and says that he does not, necessarily, favor such severe penalties for violation of the Prohibition Act
 Which to indicate that Senator Jones de- sires to remain in public life. He already has Mrs Mccormick, of Illinois has announced that If the people of Washington decide against Pro- Ihibition, he will obey their mandate, and for the same reason that impeed her to do so Which seems also to prove that individual moral convic- tons quite consistently may be subordnated per haps wholly changed and transformed, by the lexgencies of political situations Certain it is that Senator Jones, an extreme type of uncompromisng fanatieal reformer, unblushingly is less dry than at any time in his heretofore intensively dry hcareer. But it seems from press diagnosis and analysis that Senator Jones and Mrs Mccormick are far from being alone in their new confessions of faith.
