These visitors are doing nothing but raising particular hades upon their return to Washington.
 The great Northern empire continues to suffer from excessive Government paternalism.

MORE MINERS THAN FISHERMEN
 RESIDE IN ALASKA.

People of Alaska are so accustomed to the fact that, measured by the value of the products, the fisheries constitute her leading industry that many will be surprised doubtless to know that the 193o census returns show that there Alaskans engaged in mining than in the fisheries In bull letin recently issued by the Bureau of the Census, showing the number of those residents of the Terri tory engaged in ganful occupations it is disclosed that 4,7S7 of Alaskas population are engaged in extracting minerals and ATS in fishing The diff ference is small but mining leads. Most Of those engaged in mining whites and most Of those engaged in fishing are Indians.
 These figures do not include those who reside else where and to Alaska to work part time in mining or fishing. If they were counted there would be- Of course greater number recorded as engaged in the fisheries.
 The lesson of these figures is that mining brings more permanent residents in proportion to the capital invested than fishing

INDIAN AFFAIRS
IN NEW HANDS

Social welfare on a big scale is
to be the job of Robert T. Lans-
dale, who has just been sworn
in as assistant commissioner of
Indian Affairs in charge of hui
man relations.
Mr.. LanSdale is the first of
two special assistants to Com
missioner Charles ]. Rhodes. The
other specialist will be in charge
of property and will be named
at a later date.
Appointment Marks Change
Appointment Of Mr.. Lansdale
marks change in the admins
tration of Indian Affairs. For
more than so years the work of
caring for the Indians has been
conducted largely on clerical lines
and has been generally cumber-
sum. Under the new scheme the
work of the Indian Bureau has
been divided into five field divis,
ions, namely health, education.
agricultural extension and indus
try, forestry and irrigation.
Mr.. Lansdale's work will deal
primarily with health, education
and agricultural extension and
industry.
Mr.. Lansdale has been associ-
ated with the Indian Service for
about year. He formerly was
executive secretary of the Council
of Social Agencies, Montclair,
N. j., and a member of the staff
of the New York School of Social
Work.
To Visit All Agencies
The new human relations ex-
pert of the Indian Service plans
to do some extensive travelling
within the next few months. Dur
ing his tour he expects to visit
all of the II Indian agencies, the
20 nOnreServatiOn schools and the
six sanitOria.
Speaking of his work, Mr.. Lans-
dale estimated that he is respon-
sible for the welfare of 221 900 In
dians, who are listed as wards of
the Government. The Indian
population is placed at approx
mately 340.000, Mr.. Lansdale said,
but about 10000 are not Govern
ment wards.

has purchased 659,146 acres of
land within the exterior boun-
diaries of the reservation.
The land, according to Director
Albright, has been owned by 27
individuals and as long as it was
not controlled by the Government

NEW LABOR DAY
IMPROBABLE

A proposal to change Labor Day
from the first Monday in Septem-
Der to a date about the middle Of
that month met with discourage
ment from the American Fedora
ton of Labor yesterday.
. The shift was requested by 40
chambers of commerce in the Fin
ger Lakes section of New York,
popular resort area. They de-
scribed the plan as:
"a means of extending the
employment of hundreds Of
thousands of persons, and Of
adding millions of dollars to the
amount put into circulation by
tourists, campers, park and re-
sort patrons"
Federation officials, however,
pointed out that it would be nee
essary to pass legislation in every
one of the 48 States to change the
legal holiday, and for Congress
itself to pass a similar act for the
District of Columbia and Terri
tories.

DR.. Howard at present is prin-

his retirement from the chief
tain's post, he said:

full credit, but his friends and
his work speak for him.
He is the man who is credited
with initiating "the swat-the-fly
crusades," which have done much
to eradicate the household pest.
He also is said to have been the
first man who brought the world
face to face with the menace of
insect life, dramatizing mans
struggle against the bugs as a con-
tinuous warfare in which human
ity is doomed to destruction unless
increasingly on the defensive. Con-
corning that, DR.. Howard said:
81 don't want to scare people,
but the insect menace is a world
problem"
Witnessed It's Growth
DR.. Howard entered the Gov
ernment service when the Bureau
of Entomology was in its forma-
tive stage. He was one of three
workers when he began his duties
in June, 1878. He says he has
witnessed the growth of the bu-
reau practically from it's birth.
Naturally, after spending so
many years in one line of work,
DIR. Howard does not expect to
relinquish it entirely when he re-
tires, and he is looking forward
with interest to the International
Congress Of EntOmOlOgiSts, which
will meet in 1892 at Paris.
DR.. Howard is a native of Rock
