STRESS COLORED
HEALTH WEEK

With emphasis on colored
treatment in National Colored
Health Week this week, DR.. ]. B.
Parramore director of the Mon
roe County Health Unit reports
that colored folk in Key West
have cooperated wonderfully in
health aims.
In the colored schools children
have been inoculated for diph-
liberia, tuberculosis and typhoid
fever. A significant feature of
Key West colored health was re-
vealed in the physical examina-
tons which are being given by
the Health Unit when il was
shown that very few cases of dis
eaSed tonsils were noted here due
to the sunshine and open air ex-
erciSe. In other parts of the
state this is always a great prob
lem of public health authorities.

LOCAL INDIANS FORM ASSOCIATION
TO OBTAIN GOVT CREDIT LOANS

Indian At one time, it is said. child
rem Of but one-sixteenth Indian
blood were admitted to Government
schools and all Indian privileges.
At the present. until the consti-
tuition OF the Wrangen Cooperative
Association IS ratified. membership
is gained simply by signing the roll
call book
The type of Indian admitted is
one who is industrious, Paul ex-
planned. who will contribute to the
benefit of the association.
After ratification of the eonsti-
tuition members are adopted by vote
of the council, a governing body
of the Association elected to func-
ton as does a corporation board
of directors. This council will also
have power TO expel members who
are dishonest or who work against
the best interests of the association.
Several plans for the Wrangell
Cooperative are being considered
said Paul, but nothing can be done
without the consent of the Credit
department of the Department of the
Interior. A constitution has been
submitted to Secretary of Interior
Ickes for his approval. If that is
gained the Association, after rati-
fication and obtaining a charter
will have the status of an ordinary
business corporation with the excep-
tion that under this charter the
credit funds set up for the reorgan-
ization of Indians under the Wheel
er-Howard Act. become available.
Besides loans for a cooperative
industry, such as a cannery, for in
stance, individual loans may be
made. These. young Paul believes,
will probably be made in the form
of building new boats.
Smaller Than Metlakatla
Speaking again of the proposed
reservation Paul said, at is not 60
ing to be nearly as extensive as
Metlakatla and we don't want fish
ermen to feel squeezed out, and as
in other reserves the Bureau Of
Fisheries will still exercise super
vision SO that a conservation pro
gram will be maintained.
Into this Association" he con-
tinued, sit is planned to utilize ey-
erything graduates of Wrangell In

tional departments of the school"

Young Paul graduated last June
from the University of Washington

KETCHIKAN - The grand jury
completed it's work Wednesday with
final report to Judge Alexander,
urging early construction of the
Saxman hospital, higher pay for
jurors and witnesses, better chairs
for the grand jurors, and other mat
ters.
The report follows:
In the district court for the Ter
ritory of Alaska, Division number
one, at Ketchikan.
TO the Honorable George F. Al
exander. Judge o fthe district court
for the Territory of Alaska, First
division:
I'VE, the grand jury, impaneled
for the special September, 1889
term of the United States district
court for the Territory of Alaska,
division number one, held at Ketchi-
kan, Alaska, and composed of five
women and thirteen men, beg to
submit the following report:
I'VE have been in session seven
days, have considered seven matters
and returned six true bills; we have
examined "a witnesses.
I'VE make the following recon-
mendations:
Il. That the work on the proposed
native hospital at Saxman be started
as soon as possible.
Better Chairs
%. We call attention to the fact
that the chairs in the jury room are
not in keeping with the new build
ing and recommend that they be dis
posed of and that suitable chairs be
purchased.
"3. We feel that the facilities of
the new federal building are already
overtaxed and recommend that an
addition be built to take care of
present and future needs of federal
offices.
"a. We feel that the pay of jurors
and witnesses is inadequate and that
it should be restored to its former
level at once.
IS. 1t has been called to our at
tention that the pay of United States
Commissioners, particularly in the
outlying sections, is entirely made
quate and out of proportion to the
important work which is entrusted
to them.
Jail Criticized
sc. We have inspected the federal
Jail and find 1t very clean and well
kept, but poorly arranged. This ap-

the Jail is now full The women's
ward is entirely too small, and no
quarters are provided for the ma

the prisoners.
In conclusion, we wish to thank
the various officers of the court for
their cooperation, courtesy and as
sistance during the time we have
been in session.
1T is requested that copies of this

ment of this session. Following that

Vim. L. Paul Jr. came down from
Juneau Saturday on the Aleutian to
act in an advisory capacity to the
Wrangell Cooperative Association
organized under the Indian Bureau
Reorganization Act Organization is
not much different. said young Paul,
from the Territorial incorporation
act except that upon investigation
by the government the association
may obtain credit.
Wrangell Indians formed an as
soeiation two years ago but did not
follow through to the ratification
of a constitution as the association
was not formed on the basis they
desire which is TO organize purely on
association. They could organize on
residence or occupation, Paul ex-
planned, but the Wrangell men want
TO pick only members who are re-
sponsible and sober minded and not
have 10 take every body in the
country as would be the case ON the
basis of residence.
There is some talk about a res
eryation,9 said Paul, but right now
none is being asked for but in case
a reservation is asked, it will be
purely for fishery purposes"
Reserve Site Selected
A site for a reserve Is picked out
at some distance from Wrangell,
stated Paul The reservation. he
says. will probably embrace trap
fishing if it ever reaches that
point. but it is not contemplated
that the association will ever at
tempt to operate traps itself. How
ever. it is planned to reserve trap
sites so that they will be in line for
traps on the basis that prior occu-
pancy of trap site be accorded
preference when application for
traps are made.
Mindful OF the protests now be-
ing voiced by various Alaska Cham
Der of Commerce groups against any
further reserves of fishery resources
being set aside for Indians. as has
been done at Metlakatla and Hyda-
burg. Paul said, I'VE want to es-
tablish this: that we plan no whole
sale exploitation to the exclusion of
other residents of the Territory; for
use of this fishing area by non men,
bers of the Association a reasonable
price will be charged which for the
ordinary fisherman will be but
q nominal amount.
For other types of gear (traps) d,
the privilege will be let out in a
manner similar to Metlakatla and
Hydaburg, though we are not bound
by such precedent"
Eligible To Membership
Asked as to who are eligible to
enter the Wrangell Cooperative As
ISOLATION, Paul replied that there is
no definition in Alaska as to what
constitutes an Indian; that is, at
what point of racial mixture he
ceases to be regarded as an Indian
with the rights and privileges of an
