also are prone to forget that point. Are they making a proper move in our interests? Let us look up a few figures of our own In our everyday business deal ings we don't generally accept the other fellows word if there is any way of verifying his fig ures. Why not use the same sys- tenn here?
 The Year Book of the Depart ment of Agriculture tells us that the TongaSs National Forests in Southeastern Alaska contains approximately 20 million acres How big is that? A little figuring gives us 31,250 square miles. We are still curious and dig out the Worlds Almanac to look up the area of the smaller States in the Union for comparison. It takes the combined areas of Massa- chusetts, Connecticut, New Ham shire, New Jersey and Delaware to foot up to a total of 31,369 square miles. South Carolina comes the closest with .3O.495 square miles. Well, we'll! We say Quite a hunk of land to turn over to 160 million dollars worth of corporations. 85 Billion feet of timber at ten dollars per thousand is $50 million dollars. Runs into money, our timbe re- sources! Pulp companies in the east are paying the neighbor- hood of S2000 for pulp wood too The question enters our mind How can we have pulp compa- nies and still profit by our tim Der reSourceS?"
 Nothing is simpler Have Con- gress pass law providing for supervision of cutting to elimi- nate waste and provide for re- forestation. Cut this 20 million acreas up into parcels of 160 acres each and invite 125,000 of those homeless men in tht Stat es who are looking for a chance to make a start in life to come and take them.
 Let those sixteen pulp com panies come. The owners of our land will be glad to sell them timber. Let bunch of Forest Inspectors earn their pay by see ing that no timber is wasted and proper provision made for re- forestation. Let the pulp com panies own timberland if they want to.

 have anything to say as to how the taxes paid to the Territory shall be appropriated.
 i Further, there has been every thing done to prevent the h. dians from incorporating their towns under the laws of the Territory, even before the Act of 1926 was passed Apparent ly, all that is really necessary to stop a community from taking advantage of the Municipal Act lis for some cannery, or corpora tion to enter a protest.
 Those Indian villages are now opers ting under a law that is ob- solete, void, and otherwise inn possible for any town to work under and do any good; such as the law which makes the Indian subject to the ordinances of the town while exempting the white people.
 The present Attorney General the Hen. John Rdstgard, has de- clared that law void, because it discrininates against certain titizenS of Alaska and proper ly. Whereas, this proposed amendment, introduced at the request oi Attorney General Rustgard and others, would tax rthe Indian lands same as others. in the incorporated towns, it still makes it impossible to have the right of franchise denied them.
 We, who have the right to vote and otherwise exercise the du- ties and privileges of citizens of the United States and Alaska, have no quarrel with the propos- ed law. But I believe that those who have not, or are not allowed to exercise those rights, ought to be exempted from the obligation of paying those taxes.
 Again: the pensions which are appropriated for the relief of the pioneers of Alaska, are 1 largely paid to white residents regardless of whether they were citizens or not; and when they are paid to Indians they have been smaller than that allowed others.
 The road money has not been allowed Indian communities un- til recently: and then, only iii small amounts. The funds for i the education of illiterates have been used only for the white communities. There are Hitter ates among our people who world re glad of the opportunity 0f getting the rUdiments of an education. The only action talk en by the legislature in regard 1 10 adult Indian education has i been to try to keep them from voting altogether, not so much itecause they were illiterates, as because they might vote for the vr7ng party.
 This amendment was offered presumably because the law of 1926 was partial to Indians in certain ways Let us see if this fairness is carried out to the ex- tent suggested The canneries located in, or near villages, | (rather, all canneries) pay 10c la case to the Territory on can ned salmon: or it is returned to the town, if it is incorporated. i These people who live near the town and in the towns, work in the se1f-same canneries and helr ito earn the money which enables the canneries to pay their tax es. They would appreciate get ting some of the money in the way of taxes to incorporated towns. But the canneries have always filed a protest, or had their attorneys at the courts tc embarrass citizens trying to in corporate a town. WHY? And worse: these same cannerieS which dodge taxes. hire foreign labor under iron-clad contracts have the resident fishermen sigr

MEXICO HOLDS
INTEREST FOR
GOLD SEEKERS

Ell PACO, Tex, Aug. 21-Mexi-
co is today a land of unsurpassed
interest and gold mining opportu-
nifty that is attracting great deal
of earnest attention from American
capital SITS and investors, says A H.
Byrant, prominent El Paso min
ing man who has been ident fled
with mining in Mexico and else
where for many years.
The immense production of
wealth from the mines of practi-
cally every state in Mexico during
the past, for hundreds of years has
amply proven the richness of the
mineral resources of this southern
republic, and there are still many
isolated regions, rich in gold, sill
yer and other metals, that with de-
velopment with ample capital and
the added advantages of modern
methods should prove as prolific
as many of the well known mining
districts that have made Mexico fa-
nous for it's mineral wealth for
several centuries, in the opinion of
Bryant.
"The riches Of the land of the
ancient Aztec have lure that is
irresistible and perhaps unequalled
elsewhere today" says Byrant. "The
richness, immensely and persistence
of ore bodies in the mines, together
with low operating costs even in
isolated regions, makes Mexico ideal
fo- mining profits. The automobile,
new highways and other modern
means OF transportation, including
ar transport, is rapidly opening up
or making more accessible many of
the rich, virgin regions that have
heretofore been neglected because
of their isolation.
Governmental regulations per-
tanning to mining are, in my opin-
ion, more favorable IN many fea-
lures than those prevailing in the
United States" says Byrant, land
Mexico is now free from uncertain
labor conditions and internal dis
turbances that have frequently
greatly hampered mining opera
tions. I look for greatly increased
activity in mining in Mexico, and
especially in gold mining"

MAMA SNAKE, 20 BABIES
KILLED ON STATE HI-WAY

Some autoist ran over a big rat
tlesnake last Sunday near the long
bridge on the new state highway
The snake was about five feet in
length and when the writer drove
by the road was literally covered
with small snakes about SIX inches
in length. Some were dead but lots
of others were full of scrap and
struck at anything held near them.
After killing all in sight it was
found that the mother snake and
20 little snakes had passed on, and
others of the youngsters might have
escaped before the writer arrived

WOOdbine Sand
Oil comes from what geologists
know as Woodbine sand, in this
particular field. The fact that
this sand occurs at almost the
same depth in all parts of the
field, has contributed in large
measure to the sensational ex-
ploitation, as drilling costs are
thus considerably lower.
The thickness of the Woodbine
sand varies from few feet on
the eastern SIDE Of the field to 60
or 70 feet thick about two miles
west of the eastern limit of the
field in the Lathrop pool.

HAM TASTES BETTER
WHEN BOILED.OR

Sugar Combines Ideally with
Salty Tang of Smoked
Ham

There are few meats that can
surpass ham in taste-appeal and
popularity. When it comes from the
oven glazed with sugar and dotted
with cloves, it is tantalizing to have
to wait for a pink. savory-sweet
slice.
To develop the flavor of ham to
the utmost, put half a cup of sugar
and half a cup of vinegar in the
water in which your half or whole
ham SINNERS. Then after the ham
Is tender let it remain in the water
until cool. The result is a delicious,
savory flavor.
Ham, however, is but one of the
many foods where sugar can be
used to advantage. In seasoning
meat stews and pot-roasts, canned
or fresh vegetables, a dash of sugar
to a pinch Of salt greatly improves
the flavor. Salt by itself merely.

that "brings out" the flavor. Most

A|RMEN STRESS
PARACHUTE
NEEDS
Workable, Automatic Type Is
Sought to Avoid Crashes
Such as Tragedy of Rockne

One of the greatest present day
needs of commercial aviation is
the development of a workable,
automatically opening parachute
which will give passengers protec-
ton in just such accidents as oc-
CURED to the Western air express
plane in which Knute Rockne and
seven others plunged to their
deaths in Kansas, Commerce De-
partment officials said today.
But thus far, they added, no
such chute has been perfected.
Aircraft manufacturers and eX-
perimenters have been working
for some time on the automatic
parachute and demonstrations
have been made indicating its pos
sible practicability, but a device
of this character has not been
used commercially.
OF Little Avail
On the basis of reports avail
able to the Commerce Department
so far, some officials expressed
doubt that parachutes would have
been of value in saving the lives
of ROckne and his fellow paSSen-
gers. The reports indicate that
whatever it was happened to the
plane, it happened so quickly and
at such low altitude that para
chutes might have been valuelesS.
One of the difficulties present
In the use of parachute is that
o ship must be at sufficient alti-
tude when the jump is made to
give the parachute an opportunity
to open.
Another difficulty is for the
bumper to clear the plane and to
prevent any part of the para
chute from becoming fouled.
The present 'chuteS are manu-
ally operated, it being necessary
for the jumper, after clearing
aircraft, to pull ring that the
apparatus may open to carry him
safely to the ground.
Frederic j. Nicely, Of the Blu
eeau of Aeronautics. says:
"Types of passengers who
ride airplaneS have a wide

range from children to old men
and women. They also include
many persons in the air but
infrequently. The present para
chute would be useless to them
because they would be unable
to use it, if, in fact, they were
able to clear the plane.
''It would be impractical to
train passengers in the use of
a parachute before starting on
a flight. The opinion among

seems to be that the parachute
is virtually useless except for
experienced airmen."
A parachute weighs about IS
pounds. In a plane carrying from
10 to IS persons the question of
weight becomes a factor, although
this was held to be a minor con-
sideration to safety.
Statistics show that by far the
largest number of accidents occur
on take-off and on landing, where
parachuteS would be without
value.
