May Contest New Clause In Game Law If It Is Enforced
SEARCH WITHOUT WARRANT IS DECLARED A VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION

Legalized search of personal prop erty in the territory of Alaska was made possible through a measure passed at the last session of con gress, the complete report of which has just been received in Cordova, says the Cordova Times.
 This measure, which amounts to virtual cancellation of personal rights, undoubtedly will be protest ed and fought out in a test case if any attemppt is made to enfoce it, but it is certain that abuses will mark it's presence on the statute books before its ultimate removal. The objectionable clause, which is contained in An Act to Amend the Alaska Game Law" the majority of which is amendable, is contained in section three, which is reprinted in full:
 Sec. 3. That section of the Act is amended by striking out the sen- tence beginning with the word "any" in line 2S thereof and ending in line 29, and by inserting in lieu thereof the following: Any officer or employee empowered to enforce this Act shall have authority with out warrant to search any camp, camp outfit, pack or pack animals, automobile. wagon or other vehicle, sled, or any boat, vessel or other craft, in the territorial waters of the United States, or any boat, ves- sel or other craft of the United States on the high seas when such officer or employee has reasonable cause to believe that such camp, Ccamp outfit, pack or pack ani- mals, automobile, wagon, or other vehicle, sled, boat, vessel, or other craft has therein or thereon any of the animals or birds or parts there of protected bys the Act. taken, pos sessed, sold, intended for sale, or transportation contrary to law"

IN CONCLUSION

With the end of this month the lease under which We have been operating The Wrangell Sentinel expires and the present management will terminate, since no arrange ments to continue have been made
 Six months ago we made our de but among the people of Wrangell as editor of The Sentinel, and asked their cooperation and indulgence while we learned the ropes. nak- ing into consideration the fact that it has been a hard winter for all, we wish to say that the people of Wrangell as a whole have been generous and helpful to us, and we wish to thank all for their support
 We stated at the beginning tha our endeavor would be to give the town as good a newspaper as it would support, and in this respect we feel that we have fulfilled our promise. The fact that this has been done at a considerable addi- tional expense is in some measure repaid by the favorable comments our efforts have evoked The few who admitted they were getting a better paper but could not see their way clear to giving more to the support of a good paper can assure themselves that for once they got something for nothing.
 We have endeavored to be fair in all things, and no one but news paper man appreciates how hard that is to do. We have made our mistakes, and so far as possible have tried to repair them. We have learned a lot about this and that, and have come to realize especially that the town of Wrangell faces some hard problems. Certain it is that a town cannot run itself, and if the people as a whole will not devote the time and effort to run ming it for the benefit of the ma- jority, they can be sure there will always be someone willing to run things for his own benefit. All towns are alike in that respect.
 Whether or not we remain in Wrangell, we hope that our brief residence has made friends for us who will be glad to see us stay, or glad to see us return.

Courage Of Indian Woman Recognized By Legislature
INDIAN MAIDS HEROIsM PRE- VENTED MASSACRE AT SITKA IN EARLY DAYS

In 1887, among the little group which gathered around a hagpole at Sitka to witness the transfer of AL aska from Russia to the United States, symbolized by the lowering and raising of national emblems, was an Indian maid in the bloom and beauty of just fl. She was thrilled by the historic event. To the new sovereignty she gave eager, unreserved allegiance.
 Last Saturday night, in the place of her childhood, she died, aged 80, distinguished as no other person ever has been in the annals of the northalnd. In life she had been honored by formal thanks from the legislature extended on behalf of the Territory for courageous con duct in saving early American set tiers from massacre by members of her own race, and to insure her always against want she had been voted a monthly allowance from the public treasury.
 Soon after the United States came into possession of Alaska, Mary Thlantich married. Her hus- band was a former soldier whose term with the American military force had expired while he was sta tioned at Sitba. They had no chill dren, and she is survived by no immediate relatives.
 Reviewed in Resolution
 The notable period in her career is made the subject of recital and comment in a joint resolution adopt ed by the house of representatives and the senate of the Alaska legis- lature in April, 1925. The resolu- tion reads in part:
 'Tn 1877 the United States gov ernment moved its troops from Sit- ka and other towns in Alaska. For two years following there was no government representative there outside of the collector of customs. The Indians, smarting under imag- mary wrongs, deemed it a very op- perfume time to assert their inde- pendence and settle certain scores. For the loss of six Indians drowned in the Boring Sea during a storm, Katlean and his clan demanded pay. As no pay was to be had, in reprisal they openly threatened the lives of six white people. These threats were not idle, as nightly councils were held by the Indians to per feet the mode of attack upon the white people.
 Mary Thlantich, who was then married to Michael Travers, an ex- soldier, kept the white people in formed as to the intentions of the Indians. She was ever the friend of the white citizens of Sitka. The white people, took what precaution they could.
 Risked Her Life
 Mary Thlantich carried her very life in her hands when she boldly braved the Indians by attending the last night council where no woman was ever allowed to be present. She explained to the assembled chiefs and warriors that were they to car ry out their intention of killing the white people grave results would follow at the hands of the United States.
 However, in spite of her warn ing an attempt was actually made to enter the town at night Luckily friendly clan frustrated the at tempt. In keeping the white citi- zens informed of the impending per il, and by delaying the Indians

TOLD TO CLEAR
UP FINANCES

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2s.-R-
Two fixtures in the Philippine in
dependence picture are the cocoa
nut and the sugar cane.
Their presence might easily have
been In the mind Of Pres. Hoover
yesterday when he said independ-
ence now would mean an economic
collapse for the islands.
He wants the Philippines 10 get
their financial affairs in better
shape before they strike out for
themselves.
The cocoanut and the sugar cam
have been a factor in the apparent
ly growing sentiment for independ-
ence in congress.
Competition Felt
There are Americans who feel
the competition Of Filipino vege-
table oils, made largely from the
meat OF the cocoanut, and sugar
make II harder for farmers IN this
country TO scale economic obstacles.
They have not been convinced by
arguments that there is little COM
petition between Filipino oils and
American butter and oleomargerine
and that sugar from the islands
makes slight difference one way
or the other.
Filipino products enter the Unit
ed States duty free. In 1880, ~ per
cent OF their total Of Sl33. 000. 900 in
export and - 1900. 0O0 in imports
came 10 this country.
The far away islands had a ia
vorable trade balance with this
country last year OF S27. $50 900.
If the island we're freed, most or
their products, sugar and vegetable
oils included, probably would find
a tariff wall TO hurdle before they
we're placed on the shelves OF
American stores. That, at least. Is
the plan Of most congressional ex-
ponents Of independence.
Financial Pains
Dwight Davis. governor general
OF the Philippines. said frankly
last year that a United States duty
on Philippine sugar would mean
the ruin Of that industry.
Among the Filipino r.ii;ical
leaders, even those loudest ~ their
demands for independence-and
that includes the majority-admit
that immediate independence would
give the islands severe financial
aches and pains.
Some want independence to be
taken like the average prescrip-
tion-moderate doses over a certain
period-until the islands have ac-
customed themselves 10 the chang
