P TONG PROTESTS ARE BEING MARE
Ai.L OVER ALASKA AS FEARING ON
I RIAN CLAIMS DRAWS NEAR.
The Editor ef the Alaska Life
Magazine has sent in a letter of
Protest to the Court Reporter in
Seattle. Following are portions of
.that letter as printed in the Aloe
Alaska Fishint News.
Should the Interior Department
b' allowed to carry out its peser1*
vet ion rlan, it woul^ be catastro
phic in effect on the Territory.
The hearings have already resulted’
in the delay, if not the loss en
tirely, of the building of the pulp
industry in Alaska, --
No. one. has any protest to make
against the welfare of the natives
of Alaska, nor is this .letter in
any way prejudiced to the rights
the. natives may have, but it is
rather a direct' protest against
departmental officials who are
insidiously instigating a move. ,
i h/t could ' scorecelv work for the
w Ifare of the natives, and would
c rtainly wnhk against the welfare
c.r the whites.-- ..
it na? now been 77 years since

Alaska natives, many of whom have
