BY STEVE RICHARDS

- The first Of December brought
the spirit of Christmas to Santa
Claus today.
Postmaster Jim Martin donned
his fuzzy stocking cap and pre-
pared for his role as Santa Claus.
Through eleven months of the
year he is hamlet storekeeper,
but as Christmas nears, he be-
comes st. Nicholas to thousands
of children as he handle their
pleas for toys.
Martin fits well into his role.
He is of medium height and
slightly round.
His face is pleasant, and he
smiles broadly Townsfolk and
rural visitors like to stop in to
chat with him. He is friendly and
obliging, well acquainted with
residents for miles around the
village.
When Christmas play is given
at the Methodist church, perched
on hillside above his store, Mar
tin sometimes acts as Santa
Claus.
His general store hustled with
activity today, as helpers cleared
dust covered merchandise from
the shelves to make room for
mail.
A LPEADY more than 3 500
L n letters have passed through
Martins hands. They are stamped
with the Santa Claus cancella-
ton mark, and sent on their
Christmas errands.
Thousands of the letters are
from children requesting dolls,
toys, sleds and all manner of
things that youngsters delight in
at Christmas.
Many are from poverty
stricken boys and girls, who in
variably ask Santa to send some
thing to their brothers and sis
ters before filling their own re-
quests.
IF Santa doesn't come this
year there won't be any Christ
mas in our house" wrote a little
girl from New York.
If we had some new clothes
and something for baby who
never had a toy, we would all be
happy. My father is not here
any more. I help mother with
the washing. Please, Santa, try
to remember us this year"
TINE first letter addressed to
Il Santa Claus this year came
from a boy in British Columbia.
Il am writing far in advance
of Christmas SO if you don't have
time to come way up here you
can mail my things he wrote.
Il would like a sled, paints and
a train.
"All I have to play with now
are some milk cans that I roll on
the floor"
Jim tries to read all these let
tiers himself. Then he turns them
over to charitable institutions or
individuals who attempt to keep
their authors from losing faith in
Santa Claus.
Martin has turned to his task
with new vigor this year. His
postofflce rating has been adj
vanced from fourth to third class
because of the rush of Christmas
mail.
NTORKING side by side with
w Martin is his oldest daugh-
ter, Helen, who is 20. Her work is
to grind the cancellation ma
chimes. Before Dec. IS she will
have handled nearly a million
pieces of mail.
More than half the villages
population will be employed in
Martins Office during the last
week before Christmas.
After the mail is ready for de-
livery it has to be hauled BY
truck to the nearest railroad sta
ton at Lincoln City, twelve miles

Our Old Friend O'Malley.

Henry O'Malley, Commissioner of Fisheries, who spent the sum- mer in Alaska, returned to Wash
 irgton a few days ago, after an official visit to Washington, Ore |gon and California, to which section he will return for a short visit in November. Commissioner |O'Malley expresses great delight
 at the exceedingly gratifying catch of nearly four and a half
 million cases of salmon in Alas
 ka during the past season, parti- cularly when number of the canneries were closed down. Tie pack of f1rst-grade red salmon
 was exceptionally large, with the result that the tax to be turned into the Territorial treasury will relieve what was feared would he a distressing situation when the legislature meets to make appropriations next March.

during the national political campaign" he further declared.
 It might be of interest to the several politicians in Alaska that the Executive Committee of the Alaska Native Brotherhood is directing just such a policy this year in regards to the candida cies of the politicians in Alaska For twelve years the Brother hood fought with and for the Republican Party and for it's returns was chastised politically and economically by the nation al administration while those who benefit in Alaska looked OF with indifference. Last year at the Yakutat convention was a. dopted policy which broaden ed the scope of the political work of the organization and which refused to bind that or- ganization to any one party in Alaska.
 Just who the organization is going to support, when and how has not yet been determined al this writing. But the Executive Committee expects to meet short ly when it will go into the why's and Wherefores and then make a report to the severa. camps their decisions. No doub; this will be of interest to many politicians!

Arriving In Juneau in '96
 By James R. Little

When I arrived at Juneau, in June of 1896 and the steamer City of Topeka docked, it was about ten o'clock pm. There was a beauty all around us. A new world seemed to open it's portals to me. Here was splendor and around US t h e pinnacles of beautiful mountains were like blazing banners in the low west ering sun. The clouds swept a. bout the mountain tops envelop- ing Juneau in a nebulous world Of shimmering, opalescent col ors. And when lingering day seemed done, the God of the North spread open His treasure chest of colors; with wanton

Walkers Statement

Year after year it is becoming more evident that the opportuni- ties for local fishermen and seiners to earn a living from their chosen vocation is beconl- ing increasingly difficult.
 In addition to the men who fish, a general dissatisfaction exists among the people due to the manner in which our fish, cries are being regulated.
 The people of Alaska feel that their rights are being abridged by special interests who are non- resident, and if we are to hope to have 8 large and permanent population, the present methods of taking fish under the Fish Trap System must be drastical- ly curtailed at once. with the ultimate view of ridding our- selves of the system entirely at the earliest possible date.
 I am firm believer in pro- perty rights, but when Federal control of our fisheries becomes so bad as to take from the resi-. dent fisherman and seiner his chance to earn a living, it is high time a change should be made. Radicalism as generally
The Alaskan., 1932-09-30

understood is repulsive to me,
 but one cannot stand idly by
 and see the class of men, who constitute our largest class of workers, and their families, made dependent on charity for
 a living when they are perfectly willing to work if given the op-
 portunity.

 FOR PAUL'S PROGRAM
 1T have always contended that all jurisdiction of Alaska's na tural resources should be trans ferred from the Federal Gov ernment to the Legislature Of the Territory Of Alaska; that the present system of Federal re- gulation of Alaska's natural re- sources is wholly un-American.
 That Alaska's natural re- sources are amply sufficient to insure Alaska's development, when the Federal government can be induced to release it's strangle-hold on the same; that Alaska cannot develop or be developed under bureaucratic dictation and carpet bag rule; that present conditions cannot be effectively remedied without an amendment to the Act of Congress approved August 24, 1912, better known as the Or ganic Act, and the Act of Con- gress approved July 30, 1886, re- !ferred to and made a part of the Organic Act of Alaska; that such an amendment can be had Iby proper memorials and peti- tions properly addressed and presented to the Congress of the United States. T believe in a primary elec- tion law, to the end that the voters shall have the right to choose from the many offering tkeir candidate, or candidates, to be voted for at a general election to be subsequently, holden.
 T also believe in Alaskans for Alaska in all appointive offices in Alaska; in equal rights for ali especially the natives of Alaska, ,and special privileges to none;
 "a new deal," square deal, and a fair deal, in Territorial govern ment affairs; that change Of Territorial officials, at this time, is necessary to a more legal, lib- teral and better Territorial gov- ernment."

 Let me here enumerate some of the Louvre dance hall girls who worked in 1896 and 1897 springs. These cash registers are as follows: Edith Gerald, Minnie Rivers, Lou and Ray Keller, Lil- Han Milton, Eva Taylor, Ray Lyle, Nina Fairbanks, Abbie Win ters, Dottie Dimple, Daisy Ben hardt, Trixie and Viola Fawcett, Fiossie Williams (15 years Of age) and her two older sisters, Nfaude and Lule, Hattie Nichols, Mamie Breen, GusSie and May I.amore, Dollie Mitchell, Blanct. Warren, Lyda, Maude and Violet Raymond, (No relations), Fannie Parker, Maude Biggs, Flora Mc- Neil, Freta Maloon (hoola danc- er), Lottie Cavanagh and Dollie St. Clair. Some of these girls did a ham and egg act" on the Louvre stage but all circled and filled in with the dancing.
 After week in Juneau, there were never such enchantment such as that when the moon rose over Mt. Juneau. When all tf.e Alaska land was hushed ii isWung like signal rays and the lstars came near and bright like angels Of heaven waiting. FaF and near the jagged silhouettes ot mountain peaks were like sleeping monsters against the sky. Tn an Indian house "Chiei Johnson's' I heard them in deer tllroated chorus singing in a primordial chant; sometimes sinking into profound silence as at unheard command. Across tic deep, silent, silvered water, to- wards Douglas Island, wild and inaccessible lofty m o u n r peaks lowered silver and white against the soft light of moon and stars. Oh!

Departmental Budgets

The various departments Of the Federal government have
 submitted to the Bureau of the
 Budget their estimates of ex- Lenditures for the period from
 July 1, 1888 to June 30, 1884. This year the Bureau eliminated |submission of preliminary esti- mates and called upon the De- |partments to submit final esti- mates. Those are now all in but
 arc not revealed or discussed
 publicly by the Bureau. Confer Iences have started and will con-
 tinue between the Bureau and
 departmental budgetary officers
 each morning until the budget is
 ready to go before the Decem-
 Der session of Congress. Alaska is vitally interested in the final conclusions that may be reached by the Budget and the final &C., tion in appropriations by the House and Senate. It may be stated now that most of the De- rartment heads are agreed that the allowances for the next year will not exceed those of the pre- sent year. The Department of the Interior is now appearing before the Budget in justification of the appropriations asked for. Many of these items concern Alaska. as may be understood from the appropriations passed at the last session of Congress as follows: For the education of Natives ir Alaska, $65O,0OO; fer the Alaska Road Commission. $494. .0O0; In dian medical relief. $28l 300; in

Term of Probable Delegate.

It is altogether probable that the Delegate to Congress from Alaska to be elected on Nov 8, as well as all Congressmen, will cnly serve g months of the term of two years for which they will be elected. What is known as the "!ame duck" amendment to the constitution provides that Con- |gresSmen shall take office on Jan. 3, following their election. To make this amendment effec., tive 36 states must, through their legislatures, ratify the amend ment. The other day Texas re- corded favorable action, making
 v states, and as many state meet in January
 next it is now expected that there will be sufficient ratifica-
 tionS to make the amendment
 defective in 1883, so that the 4members elected this year and
 who take office March 4, 1883.
 would retire, January 3, 1885.

 Alaska Building Projects
 i The recent appropriation pass ed by Congress for building and ether projects to stimulate en- Irloyment throughout the coun-
 try, in the sum of $332, ,560,000, vas ordered slashed to the eX-
 tend of 10 per cent under the
 economy act. For optional public
 buildings $1OO,OOO,OOO was pro- vided and Comptroller General
 McCarl informed Secretary Of
 the Treasury Mills the other day that this amount will be reduced
 to $90,000,000. Previous to this session of Congress a building program had been decided on and many contracts awarded. But there was still allOcated, to be appropriated, $154,345, ,000 which included buildings at An chorage and Ketchikan to cost $4O0,O00 each. Under the new appropriation the Alaska build ings can be taken care of, if the Secretary of the Treasury so de- rcides. There is not sufficient funds to provide for all the buildings allocated but the Dele
 gates office has kept in close
 touch with the Secretary and
 has urged that the Alaska build
 ings be selected for construction,
 because of their urgent public necessity and also to give en-
 ployment to the many unem- ployed now in Alaska, a large part of whom have gone north flom the various states. For some days past the subject Of new construction has been con- sldered by a joint interdepart- mental committee of the Trea- sEry and Post Office depart ments and on Oct. 9th the Dele gates office was informed that Ia report had practically been de- clded on and was in the hands of Secretary Mills and PoStmaS- ter General Brown, who will de- eide which buildings are to be Iconstructed. It was further stated that the dire need of em l pioyment in certain localities will prove an important factor in making the selections The dis patch sent to the Alaska news. papers on August 27, stating that the Anchorage and Ketchikan buildings were to be included in the new construction and that bids would be called for within 30 days, was quite misleading. No selection has as yet been an : nounced and so far as the Alas ka buildings are concerned no rlans have as yet been drawn, | to a statement from the Treasury Department, but it l is altogether probable that the plans will include provision for jails. although some of the Ket-
