AN INDICTMENT

The failure of the Forest De- Eartment to place bids for con- stl ucJion in Alaska of it's new pa1rcI boat, bids for which they nave let out in Seattle, is in fact a d.4ect assertion that there are no competent boat builders or va Gs in Alaska. Even the forest departments marine ways iil Ketchikan not excepted. AnG still that yard a year or so ago turned out a vessel for the de- partment of which it is proud.
 There are several boat yards in Alaska and any number ot qualified boatbuilders who have not even been given a chance tC bid on the new boat. Why? Is Ii because the regional forester is able to get a nice vacation in Iowa at the expense of the gov ernment.

INDIAN SERVICE PROGRESS

Reorganization of the Indian Service during the past year was characterized recently by the Board of Indian Commissioners as a conspicuous accomplish ment" in the governments deal ings with the red man.
 At the same time the boart in irs annual report was sharply critical of "tne abruptness which characterized a number of dis charges, transfers and demo- tons of employees" in the process Of reorganization.
 "This sort of administration, J the board said, lis necessary in the Indian Service: it is provo cative of bad feeling; it breeds discontent and a sense of dis may at every unit which it af- fleets; it lowers morale and weakens loyalty.
 The board reported that h. dian health and education, points where the Indian Service las most often been attacked, were decidedly on the upgrade.

CHAMBER HAS PROTEST
 FOR B. C.. CUSTOMS

Protests were made in Victoria, B. c. by a special committee of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce against the new ruling of the Canadian customs authorii- ties whereby all baggage of pas sengers from Seattle bound for Vancouver. B. C., via Victoria, must be examined in the latter port.
 The new ruling means that Vancouver bound passengers must remain aboard ship to open their baggage for inspection, causing unnecessary inconveni- ence and preventing them from going ashore in Victoria. In the past baggage of Seattle passen- gers bound for Vancouver has been examined only at destina- tion.
 The committee consisted of Henry M. Cady, American Mail Line; Arthur L. Ives, general a. gent of the passenger depart
  ment, Union Pacific System, and c. L. Townsend, assistant general passenger agent, Northern Paci- fic Railway Company.

indicates, Sawyer said, untold riches in the precious metal still remain to be mined. In the Fair banks district four lode mining are milling gold ore and others are beng developed.
 The Ryan lode, it was esti- mated, contains over 100000 tons of ore carrying from $4 to $5 gold per ton. This is owned by John McGinn of Burlingame.
 In the district of Eva creek, 100 miles south of Fairbanks, the report revealed, a mine has re- gently been opened disclosing from 25,OO0 to 50,000 tons of ore worth $20 per ton. This it was said is the first in the districG. Other little developed sections touched upon n the report in cluded Copper Mountain, Valdez creek, Chulitna, GirdWood and Willow creek.

RAW FUR SITUATION

At time of going to press with this issue it is still somewhat early to give concrete informa- tion on the raw fur business Some dealers are optimistic, others not so enthused, but nevertheless it may prove one of the big fur seasons for some time past.
 Furs, of course, will be low, in fact most of them lower than the opening prices of Q year ago but prices on some of the more important articles should be maintained and in some in- stances, possibly higher than last year.
 A careful study of fur condi tions practically everywhere shows that stocks of raw furs carried over from previous sea sons are only normal, which in- GicateS that manufacturers stock are very low, which is the eventual outlet for raw furs; therefore any demand for any prime fur is almost certain to stimulate prices of such.
 Our first price list of the 1931- g raw fur season is published in our "Trappers and Fur section of this issue. Comparing various lists and soliciting first hand in- 'ormation on the coming season in connection with our oW'1 knowledge on the subject, we gre giving as reliable quotations as possible. Next months issue will give the trapper a more even and concise list, as it is possible for us to get.-Hunter- Trader Trapper.

ONE OF THE BEST

One of the best funeral ora tons of modern times was de- livered recently by an American Indian standing by the grave of his chief. We quote it from Good Housekeeping. Here it is, beautiful, simple, true:
 You have merely lost the man. You still have the world ill which he lived and which he so enjoyed. You still have its beauty and it's lovelineSs, and you still have the blue skies to which he looked; you have the wind and the rain and the sun and the silvery moon. The stars still glitter in the skies at night; |the corn still will ripen; the deer will roam the forests of your fathers, and the fish will Heap in the stream.
 "The Great Spirit has only taken to Him the man. You lose Cnly that. He will be happy there in the happy hunting grounds of our fathers. The Great Spirit leaves all the other things and leaves the memory of the son He has taken to His tepee."
