That five members of the Senat" Indian Committee will visit Alaska this summer to investigate reported injustices against the Territorys Indians, has been disclosed at Wasn- ington, D. C., by Senator Elmer Thomas. Democrat of Oklahoma, who will be in charge of the junket
 Thomas Talks
 "There are 25,a1O Indians up there whom we hear are gradually being driven back from the rivers by whites. and whose fishing and hunting have been gradually reduc- ed in this manner Delegate A. j.. Dimond of Alaska has complained of these conditions for several years and a subcommittee was named t2 investigate the condition among the Indians" Senator Thomas told re- porters. This committee has de- cided to go up there and find ]. for itself. It will take testimony and make a report to the Senate next year, at which time probably 1t will suggest remedial legisla- tion."
 The bureau of Indian Affairs was accused by the Senator as having paid little attention to Dimond's report" that the Indians are being deprived of their fur-bearing ami mals and fishing grounds. "The whites" he said. "are interferiL z wit h the merchandising business generally"

THE DOUGLAS CONVENTION
Valdez Miner)

(ValdeZ Miner)
 Representations from the Republi- can convention held at Douglas the middle of April, show that little good will rebound from it for the Republican cause. Delegates sent from t h e northern divisions were denied seats, ana their proxies cut by the Juneau delegation. which had everything cut and dried for gaining control.
 As a result the party is badly split, with many of the voters turn ing away from the ranks.
 It is too bad that some of our would-be politicians can never learn by previous experience. When dele gates are elected and sent to far off point, at considerable expense. it should be understood that they are entitled to vote their proxies with out being hampered by a de- sire to control things.
 What might otherwise have been 2 fair chance for sonh of the Re publican candidates to get in office has been kicked in the discard Ly ill-advised greed for publicity.

With a bounty of two and one half cents paid on all tails submit ted, the catching of predatory trout in the Kanatak and Egik districts has proved profitable to many fisn ermen during the winter, some of the men making as high as $2,000, according to H. N. Evans, who re- gently left the Territory for a trip to the states. At present the fish ermen in that district are getting ready for q season which, accord ing to reports made by Mr Evans, will be unusually prosperous. The trappers in the Kanatak area have done only moderately well this win ter, he said, but with the bounty fishing and fur trapping combined have realized good paydays and the district is better off than in the past Mr. Evans has been located at Kanatak since the oil boom days. Finding fortune hunting for oil too uncertain, he engaged in trading and storekeeping.

Things did not look promising
for South when the trump suit
failed to break in today's hand. He
had needed not only a trump
break, but a successful 1inesse and
favorable distribution Of third
suit to make his contract. Failing
all three. 1t appeared that he would
have to go down.
However, South. mentally berat-
ing himself for his optimism, went
to work to make the best of 1t. The
way in which he found path out
of his difficulties is interesting.
While South held several aces
and kings, his distribution was I'M
favorable for a slam, If the best
response North could find to his
opening bid was a mere raise of
