KETCHIKAN USES WPA FUNDS
ON IMPROVEMENT OF STREETS

KETCHIKAN - During a special
council meeting called Saturday at
ternoon to consider WPA projects,
the council authorized a project for
sayles street entailing reconstruc-
ton of the street between Lund and
George streets and a Millar street
project.
The action was in response to a
telegram from Governor Troy in
forming the council $1,000 could be
used on one of the street or play
ground projects or the city could ac-
cept s7O5O to be used on a womens
sewing project.
One of the main reasons the street
projects were favored was because
the WPA grant for these would be
about $4,000 more than in the sew
ing project. The mayor and council
men also computed that the city
would need 800 women on the pro-
ject to use up the $1,000 within the
time specified by the WPA. There
are not that many women in Ketch-
kan qualifying it was believed.
Mayor zeigler pointed out that
$500 of the 5000 grant can be
given by the city for women's re-
lief, permitting two projects with
the one allotment while the $1,000
fund had to be used excluively for
the sewing project.
Use of the unexpected WPA grant
for the playground project was dis
missed.
This project provides for three
new tennis courts, a swimming and
skating pond and the cleaning and
grading of other playgrouds. The
WPA allotment would not be suf-
ficient to carry out this project, it
was decided.

contributed $3.50 each whilst indi-
Yidual miners and prospectors viii
lingly did their part toward the
fund As a result Captain Jackson
was presented with dog team and
sled together with food and blank
cts for his return trip He left ju-
neau in January 1894 and arrived
back there the following March.
Some trip; And something to crow
about too!
Because OF his intimate knowledge
of the Territory and the conditions
to be met with on the trail through
out the winter months Captain Jack
son acted as Indian guide to the
then $500 Rev. H. A Cody, M A.
on his visitations to the various out
lying settlements. This was at the
time the reverend gentlemen was

lot on the Golden Star when her

wards master of the str. White
horse for many years brought the
Golden Star up river to the site on
which is now located the town of

Captain Jackson is proud of his
many years experience navigating
the Yukon river and of the doeu-
mentary evidence which he still pos
sesses of his activities during those
times. Discoloured and somewhat the
worse for wear and tear these
treasured documents are mute test
imony to the faithful service which
Captain Jackson rendered as a navi-
gator on the Yukon river. For about
fourteen years he was in charge of
the boat operated by Messrs Taylor
& Drury Ltd.
Although Captain Jackson has
now passed the allotted span of three
score years and ten, he is still phys
ically fit although occasionally suf-
fering from the amenities of old
age. His time now is mostly taken
up either in trapping or fishing

THE 00L0RFUL CAREER
OF CAPT. JIMMY JACKSON
A HERO OF FORMER DAYS
(Whitehorse starr

=
We have in this community. in
the person of Capt Jimmy Jackson.
a resident of many years standing
and one who in the early days play
ed an heroic role in the life of the
north
Born at Taku seYenty-one years
ago full-blooded Alaskan Indian
the son of Chief Onaklosh Jimmy"
as a boy suffered many hardships
wandering around in the Cassiar
country. He tried his hand at min
ing for a few years and also worked
in one or two sawmills before he was
employed for a time by the Hud-
sons Bay Company He finally left
the Cassiar country for Juneau
where he succeeded in securing a
mail contract with the T. s. A. gov
eminent.
As a L. S. mail carrier in the
early days between juneau an Circle
City Captain Jimmy Jackson was the
hero of many adventures. He first
earned fame in 1894 when he made
City, a distance of over a thousand
miles. in midwinter, by way of Ia
ku and the Yukon river. Starting
out from Juneau in January 1894
with a dog team and four compan-
ions Captain Jackson eventually
reached Circle alone with the mail
on his back after having been forced
to eat off the carcass of one of his
dogs for food. His companions con-
sisted of two white men-W. G.
Hodges, a printer, and Ed. MeNal-
lis, young Irishman, both of whom
strongly advised not to make the
trip-and a couple of Indians. The
two white men soon dropped be-
hind and lost the trail made by the
mail carrier. Both their bodies were
recovered by prospectors the follow
ing summer in the Atlin country.
The two Indians were left behind at
Carmacks, Y. T. and finally made
their way to Fortymile where they
remained until the river opened up
the following summer. They then
worked their way back upstream.
Captain Jackson was under con-
tract to deliver mail and he had
plighted his word to Juneau citizens
to prove the value of the Taku route
to the Interior If that were humanity
possible. From Carmacks he hit the
trail alone with his mail and his dog
team. He camped in the open wealth
er and without any blankets. To
make matters worse his dogs be-
gan to give out and the last one he
had to kill for food before he reach
ed his destination

Jackson was literally rewarded for
his feat. A fund was started for his
benefit to which the big concerns

FLORIDA BEGINS SEASONAL
CLAMPING DOWN ON GAMBLING

Now that the vacation season in
Florida is about over, reports are
current that the Attorney General of
the state, at the direction of the
Governor, has clamped the lid down
tight on gambling. The Governors
order is a repetition of the history
of last year about this time. Many
believe his orders would be more
impressive and more to the point if
they were issued in the late fall and
and very early spring. At any rate
it is claimed that the swanky winter
resorts as well as the backwoOds
"joints" are obeying the suggestion
of enforcement officers at this time
and are closing down.

1t appears that legal action
brought by five ministers against
10 persons, including a County Sher-
riff, caused a large gambling estab-
lishment near Miami to hang up its
shutters. and that lately the men,
bers of the gambling fraternity
have had to go to Palm Beach to
carry ON their sport.
According to a report to the At
torney general from one of his az
sistants, ten gambling establish
ments in Jacksonville and Duval
County were operating openly. The

Empire require that we go on help
ing Japan to exterminate, by the
methods she is daily employing, the
gallant Chinese soldiers with which
she is confronted-not to speak of
the civilian Chinese population that
she is engaged in terrorizing? Is the
condition of our craftsmanship so
pitifully inadequate that we cannot
devise the simple means of inter
national cooperation which would
stop our participation in this
slaughter? l for one do not think

CAPPER's SENATE RESOLUTION
ON ALIENS

Senator Capper of Kansas has
again introduced his resolution in the
Senate proposing constitutional
amendment to exclude aliens being
ing counted when determining mem
bership in the House of Represent
atiyes. There are more than s mil
lion aliens in the United States and
nearly one million four hundred
thousand foreign porn persons in
New York State alone who are not
citizens.
Senator Capper shows that the
National House Of Representatives
has 80 members who represent these
aliens. The cost to the National
Government of these 80 representa-
tives. including salaries to them
selves and their secretaries and
other expenses is upwards of $780,
600 annually.
The useless expense and useless
addition in numbers to our already
unwieldly national House of Rep
resentatives is farcieal, to say moth
ing of the utter absurdity of main
tanning a situation in that body
where aliens are, at least in theory,
represented. AS pointed out by Sem
ator Capper, these Representatives
of aliens may in close contests in
the House, hold the balance of pow
er ON vital questions This alien pop
ulation is mainly in New York, IL
linois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and California Not having sworn
allegiance to the Government such
aliens should not be represented in
Congress, the Senator declared
To those who look to precedent
for every reform the following states
according to Senator Capper, already
exclude noncitizens from consider
alton in their state legislative bod
les: New York, Maine, Massachu-
sets, North Carolina, Tennessee.
Kansas, Idaho and California.
Certainly Senator Capper's pro-
posed constitution am n ment
should be submitted to the people
but first the people must be SUI
ficiently aroused to force their Rep
resentatiyes and Senators in Con-
gress to give them an opportunity
to vote on the amendment. This is
not as simple as 1t appears as a
block of 33 members in the House
has considerable power. Inaugurate
a movement to reduce the present
total representation of 1877 members
from New York, Massachusetts, IL
linois, Pennsylvania, and California
any one of whom might be affected
by such a change, and each Repre-
sentative in these states forgets that
he is a statesman and proceeds to
save his own scalp.

Christian Church pastor, Rev J. E.
Barbee, who received commentator
for leading a successful fight to have
slot machines outlawed, is reported
to have sent Governor Cone sworn
affidavits concerning the locations
and equipments of Jacksonville
gambling resorts. He obtained de-
tailed information by touring the
establishments disguised as vendor
of racing newspaper.
1t was stated at Tallahassee that
the gambling at Tampa is not the
problem it was This is especially
true of the numbers racket, which
was popular in the Latin section
before the business men of that city
began their successful education
campaign against all forms Of
gambling.

When the house of represent
tatives closed its doors last Sun
day night after the first Sab

any bills except appropriation
measures could be introduced
without consent of tTo-thirds of
the house members.
Among the new measures
were two to license gambling,
two relating to proposed chang
es in the highway commission
system, a few seeking changes
in administration of fish and
! game laws and a large number
designed to change duties and
operations of other state de-
partments and boards.
Among the house bills passed
on the third reading during
the session were ones to sell the
state fairgrounds to Lewis and
Clark county for 81, permitting
women to serve on jurieS and
fixing eight-hour work days in
laundries, hotels and cafes. The
