 If there is anything that ap- peals to your interest, boost it. If there are features you do not like, state them. Cooperation a. lone will bring to all the great est measure of satisfaction and knowledge of energies directed toward bringing to Petersburg in particular medium of public expression that meets with the demands of the times.
 You have part to play in the making of the paper-play it.. You have a share in pushing Petersburg to the front as one of the major cities of Alaska don't shirk that share. You ac.. cept the benefits of the town, accept also the responsibilities without any evasion. Do your duty as you would have your paper do it's duty.

 Even should a suitable cable be
 available the cost of such an in-
 stallation, together with suit
 able repeaters and auxiliary
 equipment would far exceed the
 expenditure necessary for the
 establishment of a satisfactory

 however, promises that the OT-
 ficer in charge of the Signal
 Corps personnel at Seward is in communication with the people at Homer and will give every
 assistance in the establishment Of locally owned radio station
 to communicate with the exist ing public service station at SeldOvia.
 One of the old pioneers of
 Alaska who is now living in the
 East wrote an interesting letter
 to the Delegate the other day
 and sent him a sample of pra- .sumably rich ore, stating among 'other things: This ore comes
 from Alaska and from a place
 where the proSpector has not as
 yet ventured. It looks like a real find. I am gathering all data concerning this district and ii all turns out as it is expected we will have another KIondike which will help end the depres- sion. As soon as weather will permit an outfit and men who are seasoned prospectorS will be sent in" This sounded so inter eSting that the ore was analysed, and alas, was found to contain only metallic lead, which cannot likely be prof1tably developed.
 Delegate Wickersham has ad- viSed with Secretary of Agri- culture Hyde as to what support he could get from the Depart ment in urging a deficiency ap- propriation bill for the main tenance of the Matanuska eX- pertinent station. The Secretary takes the view that "it would hardly be consistent to request the Bureau of the Budget to ap- prove an estimate for a defi- cjency appropriation for con- tinuing the work of the Mata- nuSka station without making similar requests for numerous other meritorious projects" AS tO the disposition of the experi- ment stations it is expected that the Agriculture appropriation oill now in conference will au- jhorize the transfer of the pro- oerty to some Government de- oartment or local institutions. The Secretary says: "There have oeen> several requests for the MatanuSka station. If authority S granted for the disposal of the property first consideration na- urally will be given to the needs ,f Governmental agencies such ls the Alaska College of Agri- 'ulture and School of Mines, he Alaska Railroad, and the ndian School at Eklutna, all of which have applied for the pro- erty."

Our Sins of Omission

This paper gives you consider able for your money but there are something's that it will not give to you.
 It will not give to you an edi- torial policy that is dictated by corporate interests for the bene- fit of those interests.
 It does not make any apolo- gies for the sins of political parties or their leaders.
 It is independent, belongs to no party, is under no obligations to any party or politician.
 It does not believe in the doc Urine of might is right.
 It does not defend the morals Of the rich and powerful nor condemn the poor and loWly for being wrong and immoral because of positions in society.
 It does not believe in hero worship.
 It goes along trying to tell the truth as we see it. We are damn ed if we do-and We are damned if We don't. So we go on being damned in many instances by men who have not the nerve to stand up to those things they demand of us. But we go on our way doing our little best in the only way we know how.

A MATTER OF RECORD

We have been asked Who ;s
 is MT. Dimond, the democratic candidate for delegate to Con- greSs. We turn back and look
 into his record and here it is: MT. Dimond is a member of the firm of Donohue and Di- mond, lawyers of Cordova and Valdez. This firm is attorneys for the Alaska Packers Associa- tion and the Northwest Fish cries Company, a subsidiary of the Booth Fisheries.
 These men have exerted con- siderable influence upon the Democratic party. They had the power to direct the candidacy Of MT. Boyle of Juneau who enter ed the race for delegate to Con- gress back in 1926 only to with draw to leave the field open for Tom Marquam-Independent.
 It appears incongruous to any right thinking citizens that an attorney shall sit in the terri torial legislature and represent the people while yet receiving a retaining fee from corporations which have a complete mono poly in Bristol Bay and which it is generally admitted by Alas kans cognizant with fishery matters, control the regulatory policy of the Bureau of Fish cries. No man can successfully serve a monopoly and the people at the same time, faithfully. It is never done successfully. Nor honestly to both interests.
 The record of MT. Dimond will be pointed out by his oppon- ents. It will be made plain enough. Already his supporters in Juneau and the Westward are muttering threats of repriSal in event he is defeated and ] there is no question, he will be : defeated.

The Governor Objects

Press dispatches from the states indicate that Governor Parks of Alaska is advising citizens to stay away from Alas ka. That there is not sufficient room for those who might wish to come to Alaska. That there is not even sufficient employ ment to take care of local labor.
 How m uch influence t h e Governor or any other official has in the matter with the can- ming interests is evidenced by the number of imported Oriental and other labor which is clut- tering up the steamers which are now travelling north.
 While these imported riff-ratf scum and vomit of the water fronts of Seattle's Skid Road, Portland's Burnside Street, and San Francisco's Barbary Coast come to Alaska and are given preferential employment, those who live and labor in Alaska throughout the year stand a. round the docks waiting for the few days of employment which are thrown at them as one would throw a bone to cur Alaskans are satisfied they should belt is their own fun eral.

room and not With the playing field. Hotel life never palled with it's drap monotony when the Chief was around. They never knew when or how he would break out next. "The Chief roomed next to Ira Thomas and me, said Plank, land one night about midnight, as I lay there sound asleep, I heard a blood curdling screech. I thought 1t was a night mare at first. My light had been turned on; there was withholding figure in a blanket with red stripes parad- ing the room. I sat up and rub bed my eyes.
 Tt was Bender. He had rum pied his hair, donned his blanket and was carrying a big knife in Cne hand and a revolver in the ether. And he was doing an h. dian war dance. Say he was the most alarming looking figure ever saw. You know the Chief was impressive enough even in repose. But there he was, bent half forward, doing the mincing steps of that awesome dance. And at every step he would cut loose with a fearful 'ki-yi.'
 Come out here and dance" :" he commanded I lay down a. gain. Then he came up to me land thrust the wicked-looking knife against my fifth rib and repeated his command. I came lout there and did the best I could at an Indian scalp dance. You're a bum dancer the Chief commented in disgust.
 "Then he went to the bed of Thomas and ordered him out to do his turn. Of course Thomas was awake by this time. The Chiefs 'ki-yi's' would have a. wakened the dead. But Thomas Ipretended to be sound asleep. His pretenSe did not deceive this Chippewa, who, was tread ing the midnight war trail.
 "The Chief pierced the de- lception with the point of his knife and Thomas yelled bloody murder and leaped to the cen ter of the room. 'Dance!' com handed the laconic violator of our room calm. And Thomas danced. Rotten was the Chiefs verdict, and then he stalked from the room without another word. He was a great Chief and we were all very fond of him.

Washington News Letter
By Will A. Steel

On March 23rd Delegate Wick
 ersham appeared for an hour be- i fore the Senate committee on
 Indian Affairs. in support of 3
 bill similar to the one he intro
 ouced in the House, conferring jurisdiction upon the Court of
 Claims to hear, adjudicate and
 enter judgment upon any claims
 that the Thlinget and Haida Indians of s. E. Alaska may
 have against the United States.
 At the completion of the hearing the Committee decided to report
 the bill favorably to the Senate,
 which was done the following
 day, and it is now on the calen-
 dar.
 {! The Postof1ce Department has
 reestablished the post office at Ugashik and named Frank s.
 Schneider as the postmaster.
 The postmaster at Tonsina,
 James J. Echles, has resigned and removed to Valdez, and his successor has been named in the person of I. N. Woodman. The postmistress of Mile Seven, near ! Cordova, has removed from that section and Mrs. Eleanor L. Van Wey has been appointed to suc- ceed her in the office
 An airplane company h s
 written the Delegate to ascer-
 tain why that company was not given an opportunity to bid for carrying mail this season be-
 tween Nenana, Holy Cross and
 St. Michael. Assistant Postmas~
 ter General Glover explains the reason thusly: Service on the Yukon River in summer is re- quired by steam or other power boats and is paid for out of the appropriation covering that class of service. Mails carried by any other means could not be properly paid for. During the in veStigation of the service to be provided the coming season it l developed that the only suitable l boats available are those operat- cd by the Alaska Railroad A satisfactory rate was secured for carrying the mails by such boats and the contract awarded"
 Tn compliance with the desire of the people of Homer and Sel- 6ovia, an effort was made by Delegate Wickersham to secure more direct communication be- tween those sections. But that l. the Government will furnish this service does not seem likely, af- ter an investigation by Major General Irving J. Carr, Chief Signal Officer of the Army. He says: Tt does not appear that 1 there is sufficient possible rev. enue at Homer to pay for the { establishment of a Signal Corps IC Radio Station at that place, and t hat there is no surplus deep l 'ea Cable suitable for the install V atiOn of a telephone circuit [

Echoes of Fame

Eddie Plank, one of the twelve inmortalS of baseball, lives quietly at Gettysburg in Penn sylvania-his old home town where he has a big garage ana lives in a nice home on a nice street across from Gettysburg College. He was drafted from the Gettysburg College team by Connie Mack back in the early 1o00's. Plank fits into the life of Main Street in a small town, cbservant, shrewd, all of his long years of fame spent in the big cities of the major leagues cid not succeed in applying one single coat of veneer to his small-toWn personality.
 Moral: Beware of the small town guy with his simple dress and manner and guilelessneSs. He fills your car W..,l gasoline and chats with you about the weather and the spring garden truck, and he appears to know nothing beyond the reaches of tine limb of the old apple tree. But he may we'll be an Eddie Plank, who has lounged in most of the great hotels of the coun.- try and was a pitching hero before the throngs of a dozen years or more.
 Symbol of Reliability
 Plank was the peer of any pitcher who ever threw a ball.
 We make no exception even though we are most partial to his old teammate, Chief Bender. A few famous pitchers may have eXcelled him in a few pitching ways, but in the main, as an all- around asset to his club, year in and year out, over a long course of time, Plank never had a superior. And remember, he left the game while still more effec- tive than three-fourths of the hurlers in his league. The last game he pitched was against Walter Big Smoke" Johnson of Washington in a To affair.
 His fame unimpaired, t h e cunning of his arm unquestion- ed, his supremacy unchallenged by the hardest batsmen of them all, Plank elected to turn in his uniform, lay down his glove and leave the game. This was ill 1917 when he was 42 years old with sixteen major league years behind him. During his period, he won seven World Series games and seven seasons did he come through with more than twenty victories for his team. CoIorful Teammate
 Plank is one of those men who co not talk about themselves, but he talks of other men who made up that wonderful ma chine which kept Connie Mack S team to the fore. Plank the serene, nonchalant type warns up when he tells of Bender his pitching mate. The Big Chief was a striking contrast to the mild and placid Plank.
 It was Bender's turn to pitcn in the Series of 1910 but he re- fused to warm up even, before the game. He was moody and preoccupied and Mack knew him we'll enough not to insist on his going into the game when he did not wish to pitch. Plank who had pitched two days before was thrown into the breach and though he knew it might mean the series, Plank stepped out on the field to warm up.
 T went out there and began to warm up," said Plank, "and I knew was not at my bset for I had pitched two days before. I knew the Chief knew so Il watched him as he sat on the bench, head down, poking at the turf with the toe of his shoe. IL came close to game time, and Bender began to get nervous and fidget around and then Il knew I would not pitch that day. But I kept on shooting them
