CHAMBER COM. RE-AFFTRMs
STAND ON FISH TRAP QUESTION

Action by the Wrangell Chamber
of Commerce in the matter of pro-
testing the Smith memorial which
last week passed the lower house of
the Legislature, was opened to dis
eussion Monday at the luncheon
meeting by President F. S. Barnes.
The Coffey memorial to Congress
asking for the gradual elimination
of fish traps in Alaska was with
drawn from the house two weeks
ago and the Smith memorial asking
for immediate abolition substituted
in its stead.
The matter of protesting the
Smith memorial was brought to the
attention of the Wrangell chamber
at its meeting ON February 20 by
VIM. G. Wies, but action was tabled
until the following meeting.
When the subject was opened
Monday Wies reiterated his state
ments of the previous week. that
the memorial while claiming to be
a fishermen's measure in reality was
bill sponsored by the big can
ming interests; that the fishermen
were committed to adjustment over
a five-year period knowing that a
measure for immediate adjustment
would have no chance of passing
Congress. Wies again said he thought
1t only consistent for the chamber
to wire the legislature protesting
the Smith memorial in view of the
fact that last December the organi-
cation had supported the seiners'
petition asking for the elimination
of fish traps over a fiye-year period.
Sides were sharply drawn in the
discussion which followed but when
put to a vote only eight of the fif-
teen members present voted. Of this
number two voted against and six
for the motion which was made by
Leo Mccormack to the effect that
the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce
wire both branches of the legisla-
ture that I'VE re-affirm our position
that we are in favor OF gradual ell
limitation of fish traps"

WRANGELL CHURCHES DEVOTE
SERVICE TO AMERICANIsM

Aceeding to a plea by George L
Gunderson, Exalted Ruler of Lodge
No 1895, B. P. o. E, that all clergy
men of Wrangell pray for the sue
cess of Americanism Week and ask
their congregations to do the same,
the general sermon theme in Wran-
CELL churches next Sunday will be
Amerieanism.
"Elks lodges all over the country,
together with hundreds of local
groups are cooperating in this week
long program to encourage a more
vigorous Americanism," Mr. Gunder-
son said today. Churches, schools,
business men, professional men s
groups. and many other public spir-
tied and patriotic bodies are aiding
in this campaign.
I'VE believe that the prayers of
all the congregations in Wrangell
will be given cheerfully that this
movement may achieve its true end
the creation of a vigorous Cod
fearing Americanism. 1t is partic-
ularly necessary today when God
lessness is as widespread in other
countries that we in America should
approach our problems under the
inspiration of prayer and the guild
ance of religion.
Citizens of many other nations
are today denied the freedom of wor-
ship that is one of the keystones of
American liberty. In many foreign
lands the complete destruction of
religion, and the perversion of re-
ligion to the ends of the state are
accepted as logical instruments of
national policy" asserted Mr.. Gun
derson.
ut is the more fitting, therefore,
that we here in Wrangell enter up
on our celebration of Americanism
Week with the prayers of all denom-
nations for our success behind u.s."

NEW FISHERIES C0M11ssI0NER
PROBABLY NOT BE WESTERN

Speculation continues as to who
the next commissioner Of fisheries
will be, states the Ketchikan Ghron-
iele Repeatedly. many names have
been presented. Among these, the
best known in Ketchikan is Senator
Norman R. Walker. who has been
recommended by Democratic Com
mitteeman Connors. by Delegate Di-
ond, and by members of the legis-
lature.
However. private advices from
Washington have limited that the
new commissioner probably will not
come from the Pacific coast, and
that he will have no connection with
the fishing industry or allied indus
tries.
The current Pacific Fisherman
quotes "a prominent member of the
administration as saying the next
commissioner will not be appointed
for some time and as saying. He
will be a man of character, intelli-.
gence = and tough"
Some reports say the next com
missioner will be a friend of Speak
er Bankhead's from Alabama. 9th
ers that he will be a friend OF Cot
ton Ed Smith of South Carolina.
others that he will be elevated from
a lesser post in the bureau. And the
Pacific Fisherman's report is that
Secretary Hopkins Us seeking a re-
tired business man of Independent
means" to handle general policies OF
the office
Frank T. Bell, who resigned in
January, is not to leave office until
latte next month. Most reports agree
that Secretary Hopkins will be in no
hurry to name a successor. Actually
the commissioner is named by the
President, though he probably will
follow the recommendation of his
new secretary of commerce. The ap-
pointment must be approved by the
senate.

Ing on February Is before the sub

a vocational school for the natives
of northwestern Alaska, where,
without any change in geographical
or climatic environment they could
be helped in learning to be self-suf-
ficient through development of ma
tive Eskimo industries. Request was
also made for funds for replace
ment of existing school buildings

munities have increased their sales
greatly. The money raised has help
ed defray the cost of itinerant Iu-
berculosis clinics in Alaska since De-
eember, 1886. and has purchased x
ray equipment for use in outlying
communities where X-ray services
could not otherwise be obtained.
Early Diagnosis Important
Mrs Breed stressed the import
ance of early case findings from sv-
cry point of view The disease IN its
early stages can be cured. It's early
diagnosis means that hospital OF
sanitoria care will be shorter and
therefore save individual or the tax
payers money. In its advanced stage,
the patient has not only lost his
best chance for recovery but has in
many instances already transmitted
his infection to others. for disease
breeds disease.
To date the clinics in Alaska have
found that 80 individuals have
minimal tuberculosis, Il whites and
ZIG natives comprising this group.
From X-ray findings, 96 cases have
been classified as tuberculosis sus-
poets. The whites X-rayed number
1850 and natives 2516. The number
of active cases requiring attention
in Alaska, computed by the Fran
ington ratio indicates that there are
162 active cases of tuberculosis
needing attention among the whites
in Alaska, a figure which may be
low.
Health Teaching
Control of the disease is so largely
dependent upon education that edu-
eational work in any community
should be continuous. The program
must be carried on the year around
by health teaching in the schools
and by lay organizations and volun-
tary effort. Charts and films are
available. Mrs. Breed visited the
Wrangell school and enlisted the
cooperation of supt Fabricius who
was present at Fridays meeting, and
materials have been requested.
Hospitals Needed
Mrs Breed spent considerable
time Friday answering questions
about the work in Alaska and its
connection with individual cases.
She stated that the Alaska Tuber-
culosis Association has a legislative
committee whose duty it was to get
legislation introduced for the ap-
preparation of funds by the Terri
tory that would be matched by the
! National government. Hospitals and
sanitoria are needed and they can
be obtained in time If everyone be-
comes awake to their great need
and the legislators are sufficiently
impressed with its Importance So
cially and economically. Meanwhile,
the program of education can be
carried on and clinics will continue
to function, conducted by men and
women who are prominent in this
particular branch of health work.
Mrs Breed, herself was loaned to
Alaska by the National Tubercul-
osis Association and did not cost
Alaska one cent of the Seal funds
raised here, except as five percent
goes to the National for its sadmin-
istration work, supplies, etc. DR.. j.

Jones Gives Totem
Charles Jones. whom many of the
elder Natives look upon as the
rightfuI successor to the late Shakes,
and who would under tribal law have
the right to occupy the old Shakes
house. has expressed his willingness
to forego his claim to the property
if the government will take it over
and restore the house and totems
He also agreed to the removal by
the Forestry Service of the totem on
Graveyard Point to Shakes Island,
provided the government restores
the community house. The agree
ment stipulates that no person,
firm on corporation will ever be
authorized to charge any persons for
the privilege of inspecting said to-
tenn Other members of the Non
ya-ai-yee family who have approved
of the project of restoring the prop
erty under Federal supervision are
James Bradley, Charles BOreh, Mrs
Elizabeth James and Mrs. Eva
Blake.
Restoration
Other Alaska communities have
profited to an unusual extent by the
projects for restoration of historic
sites in the Territory this winter. 1t
is said that the Ketchikan project
is most impressive, the carved poles
from old Cape Fox village and Ton
gass having been brought to the
First City to add to the attractions
for tourists.
Due to the complications which
have arisen in the probate of the
Shakes estate, and the provision that
funds appropriated for restoration
projects in Alaska must be used be-
fore June 80, 1899, funds allotted
to Wrangell may be used elsewhere.
It was announced by District Ran
ger Wyckoff however, that the
Shakes Island project is SO exeep-
tiona1-by reason of its history and
its accessibility to tourists-the
task of restoring the house and to-
TENS may be carried on with funds
provided for CCC workers, but only
after the title is cleared.
Government Interested
The problem of preserving to-
TENS, community houses, and other
remains of the building and wood
carving art of the North Pacific
Coast and Alaska is widespread and
continuing" wrote assistant secretary
Chapman land it might be advanta-
geous in connection with this pc
tition of the Wrangell Camp, Alas
ka Native Brotherhood, to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a
repository for totems, houses and
other valuable chronological remains
where such might be repaired, re-
stored and preserved under proper
chronological supervision, available
to scientists, students, the travelling
public and the surviving Indian fam
lily claimants under communal law
This matter is being investigated by
anthropological technicians of the
Government for recommendations
regarding scientific preservation.
