HONOR AMONG
THIEVES SEEMS
ABSENT in JAIL

There were arched eyebrows ana
scandalized whisperings in the I'M
migration tank OF the county JAIL
this morning, as prisoners looked
askance at one Of their number.
The hot breath Of scandal blew
violently through the ranks OF the
prisoners. and finally came sub
dued whisper to Jack Garter, Jaller.
There was a thief in the lmmi-
grafton tank. one prisoner told Car
ter. The man was so mean ne
would get up in the middle OF the
night to steal a can Of milk from
another prisoner. He couldn't ne
handled.
So Garter hastily conferred with
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke, who
was shocked to hear the Hotel DE
Campbell houses a thief. The result
of the conference was a change Oh
lodging place for the suspect.
He was shifted to the center
tank, where cne hard-boiled Gus
toners are kept. Just one slip IN
his conduct and the alleged thief
will suffer the consequences, pre-
dicted jailers after the change had
been made. They tolerate no fool
ishness in the center tank.

as punishment for crimes, but for infrac-
tlonS of the prison rules. None will de-
ny that discipline and strict discipline,
is essential in our PRISONS but it can be
obtained without treating men like ami
mails.
1t is pity that so many prison Off
cials take the opposite view, that men in
confinement must be handled like ami
mails. Usually such men are not in eXecu-
tive positions They are the guards the
turnkeys and minor officers, who because
of their close contact with the prison
ers, are able to inflict cruel injustices
upon helpless individuals, and are not
the least bit averse to doing it.
Thinking people will hope that there
will be something done other than filing
this report, to correct the abuses which
it has exposed We need not feel so hor
rified in reading of the cruel treatment
of prisoners in Siberia under the old
czarist regime, when we have conditions
equally as bad right in our own country.

 The timber of Alaska is a. bundant. The quality is extra fine, therefore in strong demand and favor in Puget Sound mar kets which has been definitely proven lately by the shipment of two Davis rafts of logs carrying two million feet of Alaska spruce to the Puget Sound saWmills.
 Equal Oregon Washington
 Tt is estimated the stand- ing spruce timber in Alaska is equivalent to the entire stand- ing growth of spruce in both the States of Oregon and Washing ton. The man power and ability to produce is here in Alaska waiting to be given an oppOr- tunity to log if the outside mar kets already created and eager to buy Alaska logs were open and permission granted to the lCggers to export a certain DOT tion of their forest products; Which export privilege is given loggers in every other section of the States The Puget Sound markets are anxious to buy A. laska logs and fortunately are in a position to pay cash for their purchases which gives the 4oggers here prompt money pay- ments in return to carry on their operations and would bring considerable source of outside money into circulation in Alas ka which at present, and in the future would be a great financial assistance to the industry and Territory.

 Territory. Tn both the fishing and mining industries a consid- erable part of the wealth de- rived from the products leaves the country due to out~ide in terests; whereas in the logging industry practically all the money derived would return to Alaska to be used and circulat- ed here, increasing our wealth and population.
 Use of Machines
 Below, the loggers are using log splitting machines and ship ping manufactured rough saWn logs after splitting the round logs to any foreign markets who can purchase and pay. There are at present three large log split ting machines in Alaska the same as operated on Puget Sound which are capable of saving in half or into quarters two hundred thousand feet of logs daily for domestic or out side markets One log splitter is operated by the Ketchikan Lum- Der and Shingle Mill and two others are operated and owned by Parks and Selig. They were purchased at considerable in vestment to aid the logging in- dustry in Alaska.
 "If round logs are prohibited and cannot be exported from Alaska due to policy formulat- ed years ago, why not try a con- structive innovation to the poli- cy with conditions as bad as they really are and permit the loggers to operate log splitting machines and to ship out portion of their logs cut as manufactured quart cred and half sawn cants to Puget Sound in order to alleviate this stagnant and dangerous condition the industry is now in.
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-02-15

sent repeated requests for Alas ka spruce logs quartered or halv- cd and would consume as much as the loggers could prepare for shipment. Log splitting machines are already here in Alaska ready to manufacture for shipment. We believe permitting a certain portion of our legs to be manu- featuring by log splitting ma chimes and shipped outside monthly would be progressive movement and a method we'll worth trying if it can bring money back to the industry and Alaska.
 "This method of shipping our timber should be given a fair chance in Alaska as we'll as below and may prove of considerable assistance in these uncertain times when every progressive method available is needed and should be used in order to give the loggers an opportunity to operate for the winter. It will create activity and employment during the winter months log ging and preparing shipments for foreign markets, and bring pack funds which are badly needed to continue operations throughout the entire year.
 "The Alaskan logger needs every assistance and co-opera- tion in order to meet competi- tion and prosper. Let us try that which may prove progressive fol the industry in Alaska
