LOOKING BACK IN into Tt the M I,.ss
Forty-nine Years Ago
The Ely Times
From Issue of July "a, 1891.

About ten days ago, Mr.. Olson, wh(
resides on the corner of Fourth avenue
and Harvey street, discovered that some
stranger was making midnight preda-
lions on his chicken coop. He made
q continuance that would ring a bel
in his house when foreigner entered
the chicken coop At u o'clock, Thurs
day night, ding-dong went the bell and
Mr.. Olson speedily went to the coop
He did not get quite to the door (there
was good reason for his not doing 500
for no less a parsonage than Mr. Bruin
himself was at the door, reclining at
ease, while partaking of Mr. OlSon's
imported chickens The night was dark
and the revolver in Mr.. OlSon'S hands
would not behave and Mr.. Bruin walked
off with indifference. The news reached
Al Bedford, who procured L. w. Kemp
ton and Sam Oaks as comrades, and
maintained a nightly vigil in a two
story building at the swamp end of
Fourth avenue. Last night the bear
returned and the firing with two Win
cheSterS and a shot gun started. We
are not informed how many rounds of
ammunition were fired by each but from
the reports, Gettysburg had nothing to
brag of. The bear is one of the largest
killed in Minnesota and is on eX-
hibition in Brownen and Company's
meat market.
McMahan'S lumber office was deSig-
mated as the polling place for the bond

DoIIyvarden Removed from Market Lists
All Commercial Trout Fish : ing in Southeast Alaska
 Is Now Prohibited

Commercial fishing for all trout will be prohibited in 1940 in South east Alaska, according to the newly issued fisheries regulations, Deputy Warden Clarence Olson announced today.
 Taking of any trout commercially, cutthroat, rainbow or Dolly Warden had been permitted prior to 1885 when all troout other than Dolly Warden fell under restriction laws. The new regulation taking Dolly Warden from the commercial lists in Southeast Alaska now prohibits taking of any trout commercially in Southeast Alaska.
 In recent years there has been an increasing commercializatio tion of Dolly Warden fishing in Southeast Alaska with a number of Petersburg and Wrangell residents, principally, engaging in the seining of Dolly Warden at stream mouths in the spring for fresh shipment to Seattle markets.
 Sports fishermen had raised con- siderable protest to the practice on the grounds that cutthroat, steel- head and rainbow trout also were taken in the Dolly Warden nets.
 As the 1940 regulations now stand, the only commercial Dolly Warden areas remaining open are from Yakutat to the Westward, out of which areas little has been shipped commercially in the way of trout.
 Deputy Warden Clarence Olson has also found in perusal of a weighty tome describing 1940 regu- lations, that most canning dis tricts in Southeast Alaska have been given an extension of season of one day, which single day. though on the face of it would appear to be of no. import, actually may mean the difference for a number of can- ners between a successful and an unsuccessful pack, many canneries taking enough fish in the last day or so of fishing with which to put up several thousand cases of fish.
 The fall fishing season, princi- pally for the taking of chum salmon in Souotheast Alaska, has been given a five day extension this year, op- ening on October and closing on October 25, instead of from the first to the fifteenth of October as pre- viously.

The approaching basketball game
getween the Kappa Alpha Psi and the

ment. Expecting to place Kappa in

Haskins one must say, wife Of Prof.

was in New York and the affair was
called Tag Day for the NAACP. DIR.
Haskins secured permission from
Police Commissioner Valentine to tag
the town. So, she and her committee
of one hundred and one women took
the main downtown street intersections
where they stood singly or in groups
selling "Stop Lynch" buttons to that
famous New York public known to be
so indulgent and so entirely accustom-
ed to being tagged for every imagin-
able good cause. In fact, hardly a
day passes which does not see some
charitable committee sending out its
ambassadors to tag the passersby for
some good cause. DIR. Haskins raised
the neat sum of three hundred dollars
through the efforts of her committee
who sold the little red buttons at 72nd
Street and Central Park; 59th Street
and Columbus Circle; 42nd and Fifth

arrived at Jordan Hall to see Ozark

with music which was to have been
presented by the Aristo Club. A large
crowd was expected, therefore, the
club regretted having to call the affair
off but since transportation was not
available it was unavoidable.
When the announcement was made
of the postponement people in small
groups were still arriving. The club
wishes to urge all who were present
to keep their ticket stubs which will be
good for the coming performance.

Attuck and Democracy
By MUNROE MASON
By MUNROE MASON

Historical controversies arise when
there are compelling reasons to cite
them. Alleged records have been found
IN the archives of the Commonwealth =
that Crispus Attucks fell under an as
sumed name-"Michael Johnson. This
belated and interesting information
hasn't any bearing on the outstanding
human sacrifice this man made during
the pre-Revolutionary periods to pre-
serve Democracy.
1t would be just as superficial to use
the same argument about Frederick
Douglas, also an ex-slave, whom a few
historians claim was named Bailey"
There are other great men of fame in
American history whose real names
were never revealed. Their great
achievements were the features that
solidifed their popularity and thrilled
posterity to an acclaim which will never
die. Their names are emblazoned on
the records never to be erased, regard
less of latelr esearch. It is very poor
Judgment on the part of any individ-
ual to befog the minds of present and
future generations with puerile
thoughts. Attucks and Douglass are
the victims of historical attack regard
ing their true names. Monuments have
been erected to memorialize them for
their heroic deeds. Historians accept
ed and recorded them as noble and true
examples of courage and valor. To
launch an attack on the names they
bore is a feeble attempt to gain pub
licity. AS far as Attucks and Douglass
are concerned to date history has not
been distorted Citing Douglass as an
illustration, we are willing to prove om
case that a mans name is not the issue
Attucks' name has been besmirched and
historians needlessly rebuked. America
has accepted the record. We will &c
on and forget this sudden outburst
Crispus Attucks was one of the many
exemplifers of Democracy before
America was founded. He openly
bIazed the trail of Democratic princi-
pies in defiance of monachistic rule.
Although a colored patriot, he decried
his ancestry to combat the tyrany of
British oppression He injected his
robust manhood into a cause that seem
ed hopeless. On that memorable day
The guardian., 1940-02-17

on which he fell, Democracy's cause
was emblazoned on a new world hori-
zon which has never ceased to shine.
The apparent recklessness of Attucks
was aggravated because Of mounting
taxation problems with which America
in a supposed era of freedom is suffer
ing today. He could not conquer the
opposition that haunted his brain, to
combat a system of undemocratic mis-
management by decree of royalty. At
tucks and his compatriots who fell with
him, were made matyrs because of an
urge to cure evils which had enveloped
the people. They could not be curbed
only by viole nee. The individual, pa
triotic Drawn of those stalwart Ameri-
camp ioneers was remarkable when
compared with the weaklings who are
espousing the cause of Democracy in
America today. The loud cry against
.subversiveness which the brazen hypo-
critics are uttering has its counterpart
in the actions of the pre-American Re-
volutionary tories engendering bitter
ness of the colonists which never died
until independence became a fact.
Attucks still lives. His memory has
become a capstone upon which a Ma
tion was built and a Democracy that
should be exemplified for all. In many
instances the methods of keeping it un-
tarnished have been questionable, but
our leaders through the ages have tried
to keep the faith in humble obeisance
to their forefathers. Attucks made the
sacrifice of his life as one of the Incl
denst to perpetuate a strong bulwark
that should be impregnable and always
safe from hypocracy.
The villanOus tory element which ex-
listed before and after Attucks fell is
rife today. The difficulties of measur-
ing its serpintine length have become
nsulmountable Our organized lead
ership in all walks of life, especially
civic, political and social, are saturated
with mdemocratic reactions. Amer
ica's economic scheme has veered far
away from true Democracy. Its futile
minority distinctions have overtaxed
the patience of strong leaders who try
to defend and promote strong Demo
cratic entity of Government that should
never fall.
