THE INDIAN SERVICE

As The Gateway commented several weeks ago, the transfer of Indian affairs in Alaska to the Indian Service from the Bureau of Education, is no doubt proper and harm at all be in the future der the Indian Service administration; rather, an i'm provement
 There may be other Alaskan papers with a similar viewpoint but have thus far failed to observe sin gle favorable comment other than ous of the change However, have noted many busting out into tears over the transaction Why, ye don't profess to know
 Nor do mean that the Bureau of Education has not carried on its Alaskan functions properly. Hand capped most Territorial bureaus, we believe they have carried forward their activities admirably
 But the Indian Service conceived for one pur- pose to administer to the American Indian through the they to know the ways of the Indian none other possibly could; and they have facilities far greater in scope than the Bureau of Education
 The fundamental principle of the Indian Service is irrefutabe and they adhere strictly to that principle 10 per cent welfare of the Indian which now includes the Eskimo.

 Venice promoters, who vision casino here and one at Venice, are discussing the advisability of asking Frank Jay Gould, who created Pins on the French Riviera, to try his wand on the City of Lagoons.

100000 NEW ALASKANS

The unemployment problem is no thing; it is as old as the evening star.
 But, why do those poor souls in the States hotly compete with another when they can come to Alas ka and live the life of Riley?
 Immediately many will ask how in the dickens will they get by up here? In reply The Gateway asks How in heck they getting by in the States? They Outside but who ever heard of an Alaskan starving excepting through accident?

OUR FEDERAL PRISONERS

Captain Hobson of Spanish War fame, is waging war narcotics Although have been outlawng this traffic for more than decade, Captain Hobson says:
 "Ihe largest group in the population of our Fed era prisons is not the liquor group but the narcotic group, and the Commissioner of Health of great American city has told me that stream of youth pour ing into the underworld today with few exceptions are travelling by the drug road"
 And so the government concentrate every effort to wipe out the liquor habit They chase rabbit instead of wolf.

Believed to have come from the wreckage of the Alaska Washington Airways plane in which Robin Renahan and two companions perished last winter, a collapsible rubber boat was picked up last week near Dun das Island, in the neighborhood of where the plane is believed to nave sunk.
 The boat was probably part of the planes equipment, accord ing to Ross Cunningham, man ager of the company. He said hat he expected other portions of the plane and it's equipment would be showing up soon near Dundas Island, as the wires and metal parts of the sunken plane lusted away.
 Later report stated that the Renahan plane was painted a gray color while the boat found was yellow.

Statistics On Alaska Fisheries

The Bureau of Fisheries, un- der the Department of Com has just issued the off, cial figures on the fisheries of Alaska for the year 1880. Dur
 ng that season 5,032,326 cases, or 241 ;551 ,648 pounds, of salmon were packed, with a value of $29,694, ,898. The by-products, fertilizer and oil, from the va rious varieties of fish, aggregat- ed in value $2,O63,527. The saln1- .cn canned in the different Di- sions we're as follows: South east Alaska, 2,977, 1886 cases, with value of $15,174,234; Central
 Alaska, 1,618,545 cases, valued at s9,62b, ,234; Western Alaska, 436,- 495 cases, valued at $4,896, ,536. The total number of persons en- paged in fishing numbered 27,- ,568. (*) Vessels and boats fish ing and transporting, scows, etc, T ,395. The total value of fish products prepared for market was $37 ,679,049. That included salmon, herring, halibut, cod, trout, sablefish, smelt, founder, rockfsh, lingcod, clam, shrimp, crab, whale. The value to fish, fishermen of the 611, ,285, ,l08 pounds caught was $12,285,31S, not including the 355 whales caught in Alaska waters, with a weight of 9,416,475 pounds, val ued at $470,265. |. @ It is probable that cores pondent is wrong in this figure and that total number employ led" rather than fisherman is meant by this figure.

There has been considerable speculation in Washington as to whether the penitentiary doors will ever close behind the ema- ciated form of Albert B. Fall, who was convicted of accepting a bribe of $1OO,OOO of E. L. Do- heny in the leasing of the ELK Hills oil reserve.
 There are two avenues oy which he may escape. The dls- trict court before which he was tried, may suspend the senten"e when he appears before 1t 1ol commitment this month, leaving only the fine of $100,O00 to bf paid or President Hoover mcy pardon him.

Population
 or Alaska

The Director of the Census has announced the population of the Territory of Alaska class fled by color, nativity, and sex, as returned in the 1880 census, together with the number of persons 21 years of age and over and the foreign-born white po- pulation by citizenship. Tie total population of the Territory on October l, 1880, was 59 PTS. comprising 35,764 males and 23,614 females, or an excess of '2,25O males over females. There were in the Territory 28,64O white personns, 29,983 Indians, z78 Japanese, 164 Filipinos, 136 Negroes and TT other races, in cuuding Mexicans, Chinese, Ko- 1eans, and HaWaiians. As com pared with the number in 1920
 ,27,883) the white population ~hows an increase of 2.7 per cent, while the Indian popula- tion (which numbered 26,558 in l920) shows an increase of 12.9 per cent. The white population included 18,460 persons of na- tive birth and 1O,136 persons of foreign birth.
 The population q years of age and over, number 36,O74, or 60.9 per cent of the total. The foreign-born white popula- tion 21 years and over amount to 9,952 of which 1,411 were re- returned as alien.
 If the rate of increase in the next decade remains at the pre- sent rate of increaSe-129 to 2.7 per cent-the politicians will be hard put to pass legisla- ton of discriminatory nature as they have up to and including this year. The rate of increase is limited only to the rate of development and each year a larger number of Indian youths are entering and graduating from the various schools.

 We may be having hard times n America today, but they are nothing as compared with what might have been had we lost the war. We did not lose, because they put their bodies between the Nation and the enemy. To- day there are thousands of men suffering in our government hospitals and out, they are suf- eering for us and they need our help.
 The poppy is not only a tribute to those boys whom We will nev- er forget, but benefits these men and their children, who are still paying the price of their service. War never calls the wrinkled old, It takes the splendid wound and

 they died, We speak of them with ringing
 pride.
 Can we such sacrifice repay, With just one brief remem-

What t Means to the War Stricken
 When You Buy Keteran-Made Topples

Each year we listen to the pleading of these men that they be allowed to make more peoples but the number they manufac- ture is limited by the sale. Last year on Poppy Day, America bought one million peoples, but England purchased three times that number, surely English ci- tizens are not more patriotic than we, or even more sympa- thetic or generous. It was sim ply a matter of understanding the need of assistance to these men and their children.
 Most of us mean well, some day we plan to do some great thing. Here is our opportunity now, yours and mine to solve one of the big problems of our day and to share part of this great responsibility of welfare for the disabled veteran by so little effort as the purchase of a paper poppy.
 Just stop and ponder, where were you thirteen years ago and where are you today? No mat ter who you are or what you do, if you have your health it is your biggest asset in life, and so while we are honoring the memory of those who fought their last battle, the American Legion and it's Auxiliary are rot forgetting those who must still fgl't for tn 2ir health.

J. ?. Fisheries
 Still Actiue

President F. s. KWapil of the United Pacific Fisheries, who, with J. K. Berg, has just return cd from Juneau, states that the United Pacific is far from being a dead issue and that plans are still being actively prosecuted for the better organization of the company.
 Certain circumstances arose tl1is spring which practically forced our entry into the field before we had intended and be- fore our organization had been perfected" MI. Kwapil said. "We now intend to thoroughly per feet every detail of organization before resumption of opera tions."
 MT. KW2pi1 states that from the beginning the United Pacific encountered unstinted opposi- tion from the "Old line" buyers Un the Pacific Coast, who appar- ently have failed to appreciate the fact, as stated by the United Pacific officials, that their plan of distribution will work to the advantage of all concerned, in cluding the established buyers.
 It was the plan of the United Pacific to merely act as agents for the handling of the fisher mems product to the distribut- ors. thus making it possible for .ne dealers to dispense with 9 widespread buying organization, through which they purchase ash from the individual fisher men, and obtain their supply dl- rect from the United Pacific as agents for the producers.
 MT. Kwapil states that this plan of distribution will be fol- lowed out as before when the organization has been perfected. -Ketchikan Daily Tribune.

Surgeon Stitches
 Boys Heart

A remarkable operation per formed by a Stockholm surgeon has saved the life of boy who rad been stabbed thru the heart.
 Two boys, about Is years old, had been fighting mock duel in a school corridor with knives, when one of them accidentally ran his knife into the chest of his schoolmate and the weapon penetrated the chamber of the heart.
 The wounded boy was hur- tied to the hospital, apparently in a dying condition. A young surgeon, Dr. Ernst Bergenfeldt, at once decided to try to save his life, altho the case looked hopeless. He opened the boys chest, cutting and removing two ribs, in almost record time. He then stitched together the wound in the heart.
 The patient remained in a cri- tical condition for a fortnight, l but is recovering.
