Stikine District Opens Sat. To Gillnet Fishing
lBy Al Cramer1

On Saturday morning. June 26sh at 6 a. m. Sitka Standard Time. the Sdkine river district opens for gill net fishing Of sockeye red salmon.
 All gillnetters will be on their la vorite spots and as the hour strikes there will be a whlr and rattle as cork and lead lines pass over roll CTS of the boats. And then a watch ful eye will be kept to see how soon the corks will be bObbing. Then tke fisherman must get in his skiff and begin oyerhauling for if he leaves the fish too long. Mir. Seal will be on hand for a good breakfast.
 As there is a large amount of drift logs and stumps this year in the river. a sharp lookout must be kept so as not to snag on any roots as sometimes it means a loss Of from 20 10 80 fathoms of net as well as the fisherman's loss of time in max ing repairs.
 Reports nave 1t there are quite a number of reds seen on the river at present which will likely show some good catches and will mark the act ual beginning of the canning sea son in the Wrangell district, all though the ARB Packing Company has been canning a few spring sal mon for the past two weeks.
 Here is hoping that the fish will be plentiful and fishermen have good year as prices are somewhat better now than in former years
 There is quite lot of activity to be seen along the street and waterfront of boat crews getting un- derway for westward points in ley Straits You see supplies and paints being carried in all directions As a fishermen seldom buys in advance is taxes the merchants at times to have a fall stock on hand. Wrangell has been very fortunate to have merchants who at all times make every effort to keep a full line for the fishermen's needs.
 So, MT. Fisherman, it is up to you; keep your net in the water if you expect 10 make big harvest.

To The Editor. Nrangell Sentinel

To The Editor,
 Wrangell Sentinel;
 Will you kindly give space to the following letter which is addressed to the public as a whole but the Al- askan fishermen in particular:
 There has been a great deal of talk about unions Some think join ing an outside union would hurt iu- stead of benefitting the Alaskan res idents. Others think it would be all right to join up with an outside union
 This year the Alaska Fishermen's s Union. whose headquarters are in San Francisco have already signed an agreement with the salmon paea- CTS of southeastern Alaska. for aI boatmen. trap men, gear men and messhouse crews and the wages have been increased from Is to 42 per cent.
 In signing that agreement they agreed not to discriminate against hiring any Alaskans who did not De- long to that union, but the union h age o1dAG "OuAa De pd4A lO dAls
 think that even though the mem bers of the Alaska Fishermen's un- ion benefited in an increase of wages. the Alaskan residents also benefited by that union.
 But why should not the fishermen Of southeast Alaska also have some thing to say about signing this agreement? There is no one who knows the conditions in Alaska oeJ- ter than the Alaskans.
 believe that our fishermen are very capable of handling their own affairs and doing their own bar gaining. Others believe the same ana as a result the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union was organized, a con- drawn along the same lines as the International Seaman's Union. the Alaska Fishermen's Union and the Purse Seiners Of the Pacific Coast.

In the early days of the last CEN
fury the BEackfeet occupied vast
tract of territory in north-central
Montana and stretching far into
Canada Thousands Of lodges OF
the various tribes nestled along the
watercourseS and lakes, and their
proves IN war made them feared
and dreaded by ali the neighbOring
nations H was at the conclusion
OF one Of their hOrse-stealing for
ages that the narrative picks up
the thread Of Kosat0's life. The
BEacfxfeet camp was on the Mar1aS.
KOsato was q young warrior, the
ideal Of Indian manhood, muscular,
cunning, brave and cruel. The Grow
expedition from which he had re-
turned with scalps and horses ad-
mitted him to the ranks Of the
fighters.
Better than this distinction, great
even as it was from the Indian point
of view. was the fact that his share
OF the stolen ponies would be sufn-
cient TO buy White Fawn, the Indian
maiden upon whom his longing eyes
had for some time been cast.
But Kosato had a rival whose power
was not to be deSpised. 1t was Great
Bear, chief Of the village, and in those
despotic days the chiefs word was law.
A few days later KoSato and Great
Bear, scowling and frowning, one at
the other took their positions as silent
suppliants at the lodge door for the
hand Of White Fawn. At the end of the
first day no answer was made by White
Fawn's father, but the girl, with a
woman's tact, had clearly indicated her
choice Great Bears heart burned with
rage and boded Ill for Kosato. In his
own lodge he pondered how to clear
the path of his rival. Through the open
flap of his tepee he could look down
the rude village street. Near fire he
saw a group of gamblers. Kosato was
one of them. A cunning scheme came
into Great Bears head, and drawing
his blankets about he sauntered slowly
toward the gamesters.
Daylight was sweeping the eastern
hills when the game was finished, and
the sun lighted the two remaining
gamblers-Kosato and Great Bear. Vic
tory was with the latter KoSato had
been stripped Of all his possessions as /
clean as when he first came into the
world.
A few days passed and Kosato's I
ponies were hitched at White Fawn's
lodge, sent there by Great Bear who /
tauntingly called Kosato's attention TO 4
them. The family council was called /
and held, the offer accepted and White I
Fawn, grief-Stricken, was delivered to /
Great Bear to take her place as favor
lite among Great Bears several wives.
But Kosato was not to be so easily /
defeated. In a few months he had an
other weapon another lodge and a /
forage into the Crow country had fur /

horses.

ganized against the Crows. Kosato
joined it, but as his horses were wait
ing before his lodge, the chief sent
and took them away, turning them in
with his own. Inundated and dis
graced, Kosato hid himself in the
darkness of his tepee, while his COM
panions tainted him with bitter, Bit
ing words of scorn. It was the chiefs
command; it was law.
Chief Murdered
When the morning came Kosato
saw Great Bear busy with his ponies
down by the river and among them he
could distinguish the horses that yes
terday were his. Great Bear was alone,
not another was to be seen in the
vicinity. His eyes cleaning with hate,
KoSato for moment watched the chief
come and go through the little clump
of willows, then, as stealthily as q
snake, as noiSeleSsly as a cougar, he
made the circuit of the village, and
hidden by the trees he crept upon his
victim.
Unsuspectingly, Great Bear, his work
finished, turned to retrace his steps
to the village. AS he passed large cot
tonwood, Kosato, like a flash, was
upon him, bearing him to the ground
by the force Of the impact, one hand
6AARRAA6 Vic SAAANA . bAAAO1b W4AAAC bAAI
other held a knife which was soon
dripping with blood.
Pulling the dead body to one side
and covering it with leaves after re-
moving the scalp, Kosato waited for
White Fawn to appear. Soon she came
on her way to the stream for water.
Crafty Kosato attracted her attention
and drew her into the thicket Not
word was spoken until he reached the
spot where he had concealed the dead
chief. Pushing aside the leaves and
brush, he showed the dead body with its
staring eyes and gaping wounds. She
recoiled from the sight, not so much
from horror as from fear for she knew
that in q few hours the remorseless
blood avengers would be on Kosato's
trail.
There was no time to lose; every
was precious. A few provisions
we're secured, two ponies cut out Of the
herd and they were away almost be-
fore the camp was stirring Every trick
and device Of cunning was utilized by
Kosato in throwing the blood-avengers
from the trail. In this he was success
full and pushing their tired animals
night and day, they finally crossed the
mountains into Idaho, out Of the land
of the Blackfeet, and reached band
Of Nee Perces by whom they were well
somed and adopted into the tribe.
