II interest and enthusiasm count
for anything, McCone county All

teams at the county contest in
August. One hundred seventy of
the 226 club members in the county

county contest.
A short judging contest which
was held at the close of each meet
ing, included some of the articles
to be judged in the county con-
test, and at the Billings fair, and
scoring of a complete costume for

spirit was Gods reward for
his faithfulness. Try it. Attend

there were 726 bank failures, or Gn average of 76.2 per year. From 1921 to 1930, inclusive there were 7,16O bank failures and 1881 saw 2,298 banks fail. January alone of 1882 totaled 334 failures. The period of re- verse prosperity-1911-1 there was an average of 716 bank failures. The total failures 1921- 1882 was 9,458 or an average of 9458 per year.
 In the face of such disasters, where millions and millions of dollars invested by small wage earners and small business op- orators, the loss is sufficient to destroy the financial structure of any country. The wonder is that the people of the United States have any faith in the banking system.

PREPARE FOR THE WINTER

Spring days are coming on We address this urge mostly to the Indian people of the Divi- sion-others may read it and follow it or not-it is timely advice.
 One year ago we predicted an era of famine in Alaska for three years and the year has borne out the correctness of our statement. Next winter will oe worse. To alleviate some of the hardship which will be due to scarcity of food We urge the na- tive people to immediately start he seasonal preservation oa food. Halibut season is now on Cs-dry it as did your fathers, salmon, clans, meats, berries will be in season-dry them, smoke them, salt them and can them as did the old grandfathers and then use also the modern canning methods,-hot and cold packs. In season, start your gar Gens and plant potatoes, ruta- bagas, turnips and other vega tables which can be kept through the winter. Only in this way will old Man Hardtimes be licked. To hope for help from want and distress through the kindly action of the salmon in dlstry-to hope for even fair treatment from the salmon packers and their henchmen in the Bureau of Fisheries is hope less. It is not human interest that they care for it is dollar interest and common Alaska citizens do not add to the inter est dividends of the packers.
The Alaskan., 1932-03-25

the territory would grow by leaps and bounds for the ham pering restrictions of the 57 varieties of bureaus with their 5,36O employees would be out of tho way and citizens would be able to log, fish, mine, farm, etc without fear of having sor'e petty official trying to get him ia the hoosegow.
 We are interested in the de- velopment of Alaska and the de- velopment of it's resources. The fisheries are now the property of special privileged interests So that the resident fishing popula : tion are beggars who subsist up- on the crumbs which drop from the over-f1owing tables of the salmon packing interests.
 We do know that the Cana dians are managing their fish cries in manner which meets with the favor of both packing and fishing interests. That their laws, not dissimilar from the American, yet their administra- tion is eminently more fair than the American administration in Alaska. Those AlaSkans who arc starving for an opportunity to earn a decent living in Alaska will welcome the opportunity to earn their living under the Ga nadian government.

WAR SCARES

The good Mayor of Seward re- gently had broadcasted in the Associated Press his fear that in event of war between the United states and Canada, Japan would open her campaign of aggression Jn the United States via Alaska.
 Perhaps all very true. We re- fuse to become jingoists and to oc stampeded into war talk. We gre not pacificists but we just cannot see anything to talk WET about.
 However, we offer a sugges- tion to the good Mayor of Se- ward: If the United States will sell Alaska to Canada and take in exchange some of the Great Lakes Territory in exchange, perhaps the Japanese will not have reason to attack the United States via Alaska.
 The scare of war jingoists will be passed out of the picture, America will be in one unit un- divided by waters, Canada will be the buffer between the Orient and the United States and the Alaska fishermen would earn considerably more than they are Incidentally the population of

STANDS ON ITS MERITS

Delegate WickerSham intro Guced a bill which would pro- hibit the Wanton waste of Salm- on and other commercial fish. The Juneau Chamber of Com Elerce quotes him as follows: He, WickerSham, "did not know when he introduced the measure tEat, it was not favored by Com- missioner O'Malley. He has since learned of the Commissioners position and informed tn e Chamber he does not intend to press it for hearing and paS sage."
 This bill stands or falls on it's merits. It's merits are not guaged by the favor or disfavor of Henry QMalley. It is a good bill or a bad bill and it is supported or opposed on those sole grounds. The Pacific Fisherman indicates the opposition of it's trade and advertisers and the opposition of the Bureau of Fisheries. The Petersburg Chamber of Con- merce and the Wrangell Cham Der of Commerce are on record in the office of Delegate Wick efsham as being in complete support of the measure.
 Any bill opposed by Henry O'Malley indicates a bad thing for Alaska; any bill favored by O'Malley is so full of triggers in the wood-pile" that it is a bad thing for Alaska. Any bill for Alaska opposed by OMalley is a bill for the general good of the territory and for the honest conservation of the fisheries and population; any bill which he tries to force on the territory is bad for it is viciously discri-- minatory and only to strengthen the special privileges to cor porationS.
 There is no possibly 'har- n1ony" between the people of Alaska with Henry O'Malley, the vicious tool of a plundering fish trap system. There are syco- plants who bow and koW-to to him in Alaska but they are in . great minority. When O'Malley gives Alaska fair and honest ,reatment, he will make many tliendS-but so long as he op- pcsed the wishes of AlaskanS, he nas no possible chance for sup port.
 There is no compromise with O'Malley. The bill to prohibit ehe Wanton waste of herring is good or bad. If it is good, the support of Delegate Wickersham IS urged, regardless of O'Malley's attitude; if it is bad, his op- position is urged without any thought of O'Malley. After all, it IS Alaska-not O'Malley that is most effected by passage or failure of passage of such mea- Sures. And already, political material is being made of this Jill.

BANK FAILURES

We have had eras of prosperi- ty and eras of depression since inception of the American gov ernment. The eras of prosperity saw bank failures as well as failures in other commercial fields and the eras of depression multiplied bank failures to as founding figures. Look at the following and weep:

ASK TRAP PROHIBITION

Charles Greenaa, owner of the Sanitary Market, suggested re- gently in a Commercial Club meeting, that the organization go on record as favoring the closure of all salmon traps this year in order that resident fist- ermen and labor may have op- portunity to earn a living. Which action would tend to alleviate the stress of financial depression.
 After considerable discussion it was decided that the Club would not take action on this as it was believed that the idea is presented too late for favorable consideration by the Department of Commerce, in re the salmon packing interests.
 Trade journals already ind;- Cate that price of pink salmon will not exceed two cents per fish-15 to the case-30 cents worth of fish per case. The aver age catch these past several years has been 25,OOO. At 112 cents per fish, the total earnings of the fishermen would average $375 for five men-six shares including the boat or $62.5O pe1 share for fishing operation from July through the 2Oth of August. Out of which the fisher men must pay an average of $50 per share for grub and personal supplies. Leaving him minus double nothing to feed his family and children on.
 Abolition of the trap system for the one summer, putting up ordinary packs, would permit greater eScapement spawning areas; permit greater earning power by the resident fishermen; would permit payment of bills at nlercatile stores; permit educa- tlonal advancement which is be- ing retarded by the present sys- tenn which has driven out pri- vate independent trap operators and has left only a few scattered seiners in the field. Unless the fisheries industry and the Bu- reau of Fisheries does something this year, the Editor of this publication predicts that next year will be the worst in Alas ka's financial history-not even barring the hard days of Cleve- lands administration.
