Salvage Ancient Barge

A third imperial barge has been salvaged from Lake Nemi, in which were found two ancient barges on which Emperor Cali gula entertained lavishly in the days of the Caesars.
 The third barge lacks the or nate decoration of the earlier two and is believed to have been a work boat.
 The barge was buried in the mud at the bottom of the lake It is in a splendid state of pre- servation except for a missing part of the stern. The boat has a double hull. The bow is sheer Cd very much and the stern is vertical, common characteristics of river boats of that time.
 The boat has been raised from it's long resting place at the bottom of the lake and placed on a pontoon. It will be taken to the museum of Lake Nemi.

MT. Sheldon James who has been to the Marine Hospital in Port Townsend, Wash, for treat ment the past four months, re- turned on the last boat and his condition has improved since he left us last fall. All the people of Yakutat were glad to see him re- turn for he is one of our out standing members who h a 5 fought in behalf of the A. N. B. He was also the second president of the camp.
 At the home of MT. and Mrs. Charlie White baby girl was born on the 9th of April at 1::3O a. m. 1892.
 Dave Willard, A. N. B. presi- dent of the Juneau camp, A. N. B., arrived on the Watson, but will only remain with us a short while. He only wanted to gather his belongings to take to Taku Harbor where he intends to fish for the Libby Co. this summer. The local A. N. B. will miss him this year for he has contributed his good efforts for our camp. We would be honored to have more like him in our midst.
 A reception will be given him by the A. N. s. before he leaves. The A. N. B. will participate We hope that he will enjoy himself while he is with us.

To Teach Swimming

Seeking to overcome the ter rife loss of life by drowning each year-8,O00 deaths being the 1881 record-Red Cross chapters throughout Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah are making preparations to hold lifesaving and swiming campaigns during the summer months.
 Edwin H. Carroll, assistant national director of First Aid and Life Saving in announcing plans for the safety campaign, said nine special life-saving re- presentativeS from the Pacific Branch Office in San Francisco will be at the service of chapters. These experts will act as in structors, teaching the beginners and helping swimmers to i'm prove their stroke.
 As swimmers become more pro f1cient they are given instruc- tion in life-saving, thus aug menting the thousands of vol unteers who have been trained to render service in any emer- gency.
 Safety for swimmers and the saving of human lives is the primary purpose of the summer campaigns, MT. Carroll pointed out.
 The life-saving and swimming campaigns will be held in pools and rivers as designated by the local Red Cross chapters each of which will make it's own ar engagements and be in charge of all registrations.

 Fisheries Extensive
 In his testimony urging enact ment of the legislation, Federal Commissions of Fisheries o. Malley pointed out that the halibut fisheries have extended till they now cover a stretch of more than 20O0 miles along the Pacific coast and enter the Boring Sea.
 Fishing effort has been tre- mendously increased" he said, "as shown by the fact that in 1910 the fishermen made 200,'- 900 sets of gear and in 1880, 1,OOO,OO0 sets, in order to main tain the level of production"
 He explained that the catches have dropped from 60,000,0O0 pounds in 1912 to 17,500,O00 pounds in 1880. The value of the catch to the fishermen has drop ped from about $7,000,000 to less than half of that. He said that the international fisheries com mission provided under the old convention of 1923 and continu- ed under the new one of 1881 is we'll aware of the seriousness of the situation and needs the new regulations to divide treaty waters into areas, to control the catch in those areas, to regulate the gear used, to close areas populated primarily by small halibut and to collect statistics as a guide to the trend of the fishery.
 Canada to Prosecute Under the terms of this bill to uphold the convention of the halibut fishery, "every national or inhabitant and every vessel, boat or other craft of Canada found violating the said conven- tion or this act shall be deliver ed as soon as practicable to an authorized official of Canada at the nearest point to the place of seizure or elsewhere as the officials of the United States seizing the same and the auth orized officials of Canada may agree upon, and the witnesses and proof necessary to the pro- secution of said persons and vessels of Canada shall be furn- lished with reasonable prompti l tude to the authorities of Cana
 da having jurisdiction thereof : l The bill was introduced ic

 retary of State Stimson. At ths state department it is reported

Pinchot Gives Warning

A denunciation of wealth con- centrated through political ma chinations and a warning that the common people" may rebel and wrest control of the govern ment from the capitalists, were delivered by Gov. Clifford Pin chot in an address before the City Club, Cleveland.
 Facing an audience of inf1u- ential Ohio political and profes- sional leaders, Governor Pinchot pictured in the offing a political revolution as "farreaching and as badly needed" as that which inspired the American Colonists to overthrow the yoke of Eng land in 1776. The depression, he said, is exploding the popular myth that the mass controls and wealth best guides the destinies Of the country.
 'For years the big fellows have walked arm in arm with poli-- tics" he said. For years these men have ordered, bought, and paid for the government policies and government practices that have guided this nations course. For years the American people have been lulled into the false faith that our affairs were best left in the hands of these men. :"

YAKUTAT

For the first time in the his tory of Yakutat, the natives are suffering from the effects of the economic depression. We find our credit cut off at the stores. An act that has not occurred be- fore. Needless to say, this helps to promote the suffering among the natives. Even the elements have worked to rob us of earn ing a dollar by sweeping the ground clean of snow. Ii this had not happened the natives might have had at least three or four days work shoveling snow, which would temporarily have bettered conditions. It SC m S to us that big corporation, such as is established here, and is mak-
 Ing profits off the backs of these natives, they should find some means of relieving conditions that exist. Especially when they claim to be a friend of the na- tiveS.
 The latest report of the New England Fish Co.,, is that they are not going to run this season, due to the uncertainty Of prices in the canned salmon market. This leaves Libby without com petition. And in complete con- trol to do as they please in re- gards to dictating to the fisher men just what is what, when and how.
 Not so long ago members of a native family were camped on a fox island taking advantage of the minus runouts to dig a few clans for themselves. While they were thus about their peaceful business, they were approached by the fox ranchers, who were under the influence of intoxi- eating liquor, and told in abusive and profane language, to get off the island as they were disturb ing the foxes. This was done. The Indians were surprised at this attitude, as the previous owner of the foxes on that is- land had been accustomed to letting the natives camp there. On this island is an Old Indian burial ground which the natives hold sacred.
 When one takes into consid- eration the example set by some Of our white neighbors who are supposed to be whitemen yet who behave in a manner such as mentioned above, it is no wonder that we natives some times fall short of adopting the higher methods of the so-called civilized world.

SOMEBODY HAS BLUNDERED

The law creating the office of Auditor of the Terri tory says:
 "The Auditor shall audit allow all
 which against Territory
 for the which appropriations
 the Legislature"
 When the Juneau School Board having advertised and received three bids for. transporting children to school accepted the lowest and then without adverising for bids ordered and allowed the lowest bidder to increase his bd Auditor Cash Cole questioned the trans action, thereby bringing down the wrath of the School Board, the Governor, the Treasurer and the Attorney General upon his head
 Since the law makes it mandatory for the Auditor to pay out only money (which s) just and true and legal charge against the Territory it would appear that it was the intent of the Legislature that he should have meas ure of authority in saying when claim just This is further indicated by the demanding of bond of S25 900 as protection to the Territory against improper or el roneous payment of moneys from the Treasury, and penalty against hl malone of fine of S1O000 and two years in the penitentiary.
 Interpreting the action of the Governor Treasurer and Attorney General indicating that this authority is not reposed in the Auditor one naturally wonders what would be the situation in the event of these officers a proving claim against the Territory and it should be found to be erroneous or not just Would each and every one of them be subject to penalty or should the Auditor be the "goat?"
 On the contrary, 1t seems Auditor Cole has sought to take safe course by endeavong to ascertain from his associates priority of claims To this the Attorney General replies that the question is purely academic and thus passes the matter back
 The records disclose that the Auditor sought to 80 arrange certain what might be termed fixed demands upon the Treasury to safeguard them against default owing to shortage of funds, and to place demands that not urgent aside until the volume of revenue for the year determined by receipts These matters affected the Pioneers pension funds and the school refund funds
 Thus have the spectacle of the Auditor endeavor ing to safeguard himself against improper payment and at the time injecting human element into the sit nation.
 If the Auditor not accorded the authority say when claim was proper-a power accorded the Control Ter of the U. S. Treasury-why he singled out for penalties alone?
 As matters stand what was believed to have been the agency of home e conceived by those who drew the Board of Control b has developed into situation where under what apparently appears to be pressure by the Governor the full intent of the law has been nued
 It was the Governor who, after affxing his sigma ture to school warrants ordered them returned to him for cancellation of his signature
 It is apparent that the situation has developed into vindictve nternecne battle where cool judgment should prevail
