EXCHANGE OF ALASKA IS NOT NEW TO
 ALASKA RESIDENTS

The Gateway is informed by news agencies that 9 proposal has been made by officials of the Rome-New York Chamber of Commerce (what ever that isl {, to trade a certain part of the Panhandle of Alaska, Southeast ern Alaska, to Canada for some area south of the St. Lawrence waterway.
 However, no immediate deal appears probable as it is con- tended that the Panhandle of Alaska is too valuable to be giv- en away for anything less than the whole of Canada.
 Incidentally, the Ketchikan Chroncile is said to have quoted fKetchikan business men that there is no immediate need fcl any concern whatsoever as ii has already been planed to give $tlle country back to the Ill.,

A DOLE FOR ESKIMOS

Reporting to the. secretary of tne interior, Governor Parks of Alaska outlines the needs of the Northern territory He asks for Isktmo schools, enlargement Of medical services to the natives, and federal relief for the poor.
 Federal poor relief is a dole, whether it be doled cut in Alas , Ea or Ashtabula. But since the natives do not know what " dole means. they can not be demoral- i7ed by it.
 They have come to arief thru the blessings of civilization. ln tkeir aboriginal pursuits, they were able to take care of them selves. Then came the civiliz'ng influences .of trade and the e'evating reaction of hooch, and tie natives were well on thc path toward culture.

NOT A BAD IDEA

The idea of selling the Alaska Panhandle section to Canada is not a new one by any means. It has even been entertained by Alaskans. But there will probably be not much chance to get rid Of any part of it to Canada or anyone else.
 The Ketchikan Chronicle is wailing that there is deal on to sell the country back to the Indians" Just who or what is going to do the buying and sell ing they don't say. But the Chroncile always did have thc Indian complex anyhow.
 It might not be a bad thing if the idea of Rome, New York were entertained more fully. We don't believe that there would Dc much local opposition to it-and from the Wetness of some of the papers-or is it editors, the idea of getting under the Canadian system of liquor disposition should be more than welcome They are asking for such a sys- tem-why not the Canadian syS- tenn which has been tried and is just a big failure as any other.
 And then there would be thc change from the domination of Henry O'Malley in the fisheries to the management of the Cana dian fisheries by Major Morrow and there is a difference. Un- der the Canadian management, every resident will have an equal opportunity to earn decent living and three times as many as now operate in Alaska will be able to earn a living under the Canadian system If the Cana dians can make a better country of Alaska to live in, after the fifty or more years of failure on the part of Americans, why not give Canada a shot at at it and let New York have the country it wants along the St. Lawrence River.
 If other editors do not wish the Canadian government in the Panhandle country, then they might just as we'll recognize the evil institutions under the A. n.erican system and join our

 The Torrance went to Juneau and Skagway and brought ur the basket ball teams. White Horse was not represented as the high cost of living with the loW industrial conditions made traval impossible to the tournament. The tournament lasted four days at Haines and Chilkoot Barracks and those who saw the games declare them the best they have seen in many a moon. Thanks to Colonel Miller and Lieutenant Mckee of the Barracks, the tour nament was we'll planned and carried out without a hitch. They gave enthusiasm to the entire tournament with their personal ity and life.
 The Girls Hi School Cham pions are Juneau; Boys Hi School Champions, Douglas; Senior Champions, Skagway, (Whita Pass); Lynn Canal Champions, Skagway, (White Pass).
 The final game for champion ship of Lynn Canal was the most hotly contested game of the series. The teams playing were Douglas Hi and Skagway White Pass Athletic Team. Many times was the score tied and with the score IS to IT in favor of the Islanders and with only 40 5e- ccnds more to play, the Rail roaders tossed a wild shot into the basket and thereby went to the long end of the 18-19 score. The hall was packed-Haines and the Barracks yelling for the Islanders while SkagWay had a large bunch of rooters for the Tie Walkers of SkagWay.

w think in terms of doles.
 The fishing industry, if pro rerly handled, will give to the entire population and several thousand more, sufficient earn ings to live in comfort. But so long as the fish trap system is allowed to prevent resident labor from being gainfully employed, just so long will it be necessary 10 think of doles for the laboring classes.
 When the editor Of the metro po!itan daily thinks that the Indians dc not understand what coles means he displays a woe full ignorance. For the past sev- eral years the threat has been made in conventions of the Alas ka Native Brotherhood to de- mand of the government sub sistence" or "doles" in order that the youth might grow up with a better opportunity to live The thinking members, how lever, prefer to starve rather than be benefciaries of a charity that should never be necessary 5in Alaska. It matters not, how educated or uncivilized a people may be, they will be demoralized 1 by such a system and as far as
 Alaska Indians are concerned, it would only be adding insult tc injury to declare that they can
 not be demoralized by the dole lsystem.

 Dole Them to Death
 The dole system might be al- right with the Engisilman or it might work out well enough With the average American. But the system as represented in the various reservations throughout the United States has demon strated the fact that there is na better way to destroy moral ard mental fibre Of the Indian than the dole system. It is un-AmerI~ can in principle and it destroys all self-reliance.

Reason for their attitude is the
forthcoming state convention OF
the Indiana Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, Nov. 16 and II, which has in
the past proved to be the incubator
for all sorts Of proposals for gov
ernmental notifications and i'm

This time there is anticipation
that the federation may adopt
resolutions condemning the public
utilities gouge and demanding that
there shall be no more delay in
passage Of personal and corporation
income tax legislation.
Added to this is the belief that a
real fight will be waged for adop-
ton of a luxury sales tax plank.
Proponents of the movement
under way for consolidation of
governmental units through aboli-
ton of the township, and perhaps
some counties, as a means of
the high cost of govern
ment, are expected to be on hand
to wage a little war Of their own.

Expression of the convention on
these points is of major Importance
to all party managers.
With $4,000 members, and prob
ably influencing a like number of
men and women having their
homes in the rural districts, the
note struck in the resolutions can
not be ignored.
Plans started some time ago for
an appeal to Governor
Harry G. Leslie to call special ses-
sion of the legislature to pass tax

Armours of Chicago.
That started him on his way.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-The

effect of a 70-mile- an-hour gale
upon the Empire State building.
A group of bureau scientists and

building in the world, took 3,700
observations in ten days.
A whistling, blistery artificial
wind from four blade propeller
was directed against the model at
various angles and from all sides.
The scientists hope to compute
from the readings a formula to
determine the amount of pressure
a tall building will resist. Tt is ex-
pected it will require a year before
results can be announced.
