Eskimos Reported
 In Dire Distress

EskimoS living in the district between the mouth of the Yukon River and Hooper Bay, where a tidal wave last December deS- troyed the natives food supplies, are desperately in need of sus- tenance, Pilot Art Woodley of Fairbanks, said upon his return to that town recently.
 Woodley had flown over the district with the e Very Rev. Francis Menager, superior Of Jesuit missions in Alaska.
 The tidal wave carried ice blocks twenty miles inland and destroyed several native villages and food supplies over a vast territory.
 Father Menager said several hundred Eskimos in the region were virtually without food, as their winters supply of fish had been spoiled or carried away. Resources of the missionaries have been depleted, Father Men ager said, and no more help was 1 forthcoming from that source.
 He said sickness was appear ing among the natives and there was danger of floods from melt ing snow. The Eskimos in the stricken area probably are the most primitive people in North America.
 Reports said the National Red Cross had refused a request for $2,O0O to aid the natives after the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D. C., had declared accounts of suffering in the area were exaggerated.

Pick Your Own

Sometime between now and Tuesday, the voters
will be bombarded with various states written by
groups that have selfish interest in selecting public
officials.
The Anti-Saloon League has already made public
the list of those who hope to get into the legislature
by protesting allegiance to the Wright bone dry law
1t does not look beyond this fact.
Very many Of its selections are known agents OF
the utilities and machine rule in this county
The political organizations will recommend those
whom they desire to put into power to strengthen
their influence. The utilities will have their men,
although they will not openly advertise them.
1t may be worth the time of those who want free
dom from utility domination, better tax system,
saner laws and more economy in government to take
an hour off and study the lists carefully
The records of many candidates are known. They
have been in Office before. Some have served we'll.
They can be trusted Others have failed when given
authority They should be kept away from further
temptation to betray the public interest
Write your slate of candidates Pick those
who will serve your interests. And above all, when
handed slate, be you know who wrote it. That
may help you to know who not to vote for, even if
you are puzzled as to the men to trust.
