FLORY EXPLAINS SET-UP

In explaining his position on the
CCC matter today, Charles H. Flory,
Regional Forester, said it was not
a record of definite instructions
but rather a general understanding
in both the Forest Service and the
Indian Bureau that the CCC was
to handle only whites and the In
dian Office to care for the Indians.
He explained this situation had
arisen at the very outset of the
CCC undertaking. At that time,
Mr.. Flory said, the quota for Alaska
was only $50. This was not enough
to handle the situation as then
existing, and it was later that the
quota was raised to 1875 for the
Territory.
During this period of the CCC,
the Regional Forester revealed that
actually $4,000 was expended by
the Indian Service for relief work
amonc the Indians and it was
under.;tood that this fund to the
Indiar Service was countering the
work of the CCC among the whites.
Mr.. Flory showed letters from the
Alaska Native Brotherhood which
revealsd that organization was of
the same mind. The communication
was sirned by Judson Brown, as
Grand Secretary.
1t was in February of 1884, vir-
tually year later, the Regional
Forester said, that he received a
communication from Frank Heint-
zleman of the Washington office
which suggested that IF ECW
Emergency Construction Work. is
extended another year, and if the
Indian Service plans no ECW &C
tivities for Alaska suggest you try
to get our quota increased by at
least ITS to allow us to care for
Indian situation" 1t was obvious
from this Mr.. Flory stated, that
Indians were not considered prev

WATCHMAN IS FOUND SHOT TO DEATH
Steele Is Real Champion,
Declares Harry Smith, in
Juneau, Who Vas Ringsider


has already more than repaid Col
onal Jake Rupert the big cash
paid out for him in the increased
crowds he has drawn to the Yam
kee Stadium. He is the new idol of
the New York fans have put up to
fill Babe Ruth's shoes, and when
ever he plays, Italians, who don't
even know how many ends base
ball has, turn out in mobs. There
are two fans from Mussolini-land,
one behind third base and one in
the rightfield bleachers in the home
park who break out big Italian
flags and wig-wag the good news
to their fellow countrymen when
ever DiMaggio goes to bat. The
youngster has popped up the other
San Francisco Italians on the Yam
kee squad, Crosetti and Lazerri,
and not to be outdone by him, they
are playing their best ball in sew
eral seasons.
Football Dope
On his return to the Pacific
Coast, Smith dropped off at the
University of Minnesota where he
got the impression that the Uni
versity of Washington football team
will be going up against something
when it meets the Minnesota lads
in Seattle next fall. Back there
they figure the 1896 Gophers to be
stronger than last years team,
mainly because of strong reserves.
There is also a tackle that is real
ly supposed to know how to play
the game
Seattle Has Rank
When Smith left for the East,
Oakland was figured to be the up
and coming squad in the Pacific
Coast League this season, but right
now most of the teams figure Sc
attic is the hardest club to beat.
The League is playing to the best
gates of many years all through
the loop and is staging a great race,
with lots of interest.
1t is mighty pennant battle,
said Smith, and either the Indians
or the Oaks should come through,
but there are lot of ball games
to be played between now and Oc-
tober-even the New York Yankees
may crack, as they did last year,
and not come through to the Amer
lean League pennant "Undoubt-
eddy the playoff series to be staged
tbs year in the Coast League will
be a big gate attraction" said
Smith But there are many who
do not think it fair to the top
team in the regular schedule; the
old split season would satisfy them
better"
Comes North to Rest
Sports writer Smith is on his
second vacation trip to Alaska.
When he was in Juneau last sum-
mer he appeared on The Empire
news broadcast over the radio and
gave Juneau residents some very
interesting comments in answer to
questions of announcer Walt Wood
ward. Il find Alaska very beauti-
full and interesting and the trip up
here very restful. Rest. is what /
want. 1t is a relief to get away
from the hot summers of the States
into the cool, clean air of Alaska, !"
declared Smith, II regret that our
stay in Juneau does not give me
more chance to meet my friends
here this trip, but I expect to be
back again"
