activities, came near spoiling the
season.
Territorial Government
“It seems appropriate that I should
repeat an observation made in my
last report:.... That one of Alaska’s
greatest needs, if not her greatest
need, is a wider measure of self-gov
eminent... No people are so inter
ested in their , commonwealth., as
those who live there and none so
well qualified to determine govern
mental problems. . Alaska should
have a full Territorial" form of gov
ernment, including authority to es
tablish counties or other local or
ganizations to control local matters.
Government should be brought
I closer to the people than is possible
] under the present system.
Due to the adoption of the so-call
ed ‘conservation policies,’ through
j which were withdrawn from priv
ate appropriation timber lands, and
other natural resources, which re
main the property of the Federal
Government, the duty devolved up
on the country. If private enter
prise had title to all these resources,
they would be contributing taxes to
the Territorial treasury which
would be used for local develop
ment and government. The Feder
al Government must assume respon
sibility that would fall upon private
persons if resources had been allow
ed to go into private hands.
“Development under the so-called
‘conservation policies’ is not only
possible but it is proceeding. Fed
eral bureaus are striving for pro
gress and to be useful to the people.
But the bureaus and other govern
mental agencies in Alaska must be
furnished with money to do things
that the Territory would have been
able to do for herself if people had
been able to acquire resources asj
the pioneers of other frontiers were
able to do.
“After a year of persistent inves
tigation and thoughtful considera
tion, I am convinced that a proper
solution of the Alaska reindeer pro
blem demands the extinguishment
of white reindeer ownership, if that
can be done legally and with reason;
able consideration for private inter
ests. The principal end to be served
through the breeding and use of the
reindeer is the welfare and benefit
of the native races in Alaska. This
should be given first consideration
in the administration.
“Of course, reindeer should be j
available for the use of prospectors,
trappers, and other residents of the
reindeer country, who ought to be
able to procure them under prac
ticable and fair regulations. But at
tempts to base a profitable industry
of considerable proportion in breed
ing and marketing reindeer have
failed. Surplus reindeer should be
sold to the best bidder and paid for
on the spot in cash for the benefit
of the Indians and Eskimos, instead
of disposing of reindeer on consign
ment as has frequently been done in
the past. The Government should
furnish such ^ata as it may have
and otherwise encourage private en
terprise in the development of the
limited reindeer markets. The breed
ing, herding and care of reindeer
and the, marketing of reindeer pro
ducts ought to be treated as separ
ate matters.”

Karl Theile, owner of the Dia-j
mond “K” Packing Company of
Wrangel, former Secretary of the
Territory, was in Washington for a
number of days recently. He was
appointed representative of the In
dependent Canners Association to
appear for them on the question of
maintenance or elimination of traps
in view of the announced purpose of
Delegate Dimond tb endeavor to se
cure the passage of a bill calling for
the abolition of ail traps. Mr.
Theile advised the Delegate that in
his operations at Wrangell during
the past summer he packed more
than twice as many seine caught
fish as trap caught fish and that he
never refused to take any seine
caught fish from the fishermen for
the cannery and never placed any
of them on any sort of limit and
that, in fact, he took fish from other
seiners where they could not find a
purchaser.
The Delegate has been quite well
convinced that in the bill which he
proposes to introduce for abolition
of all salmon traps it will be nec
essary, in order to protect Alaska
seiners, to include in the bill pro-!
visions forbidding the use of larg
er gear, for if the waters of Alaska
were Opened up indescriminately to
seine fishing with all types of boats
and gear the Alaska fishermen
would probably be crowded out by
the very large boats and enormous
amount of gearbrought in from the
States. In order to find out the
views of Alaska Seiners on this
question the Delegate wired rep
resentatives of the Alaska Seiners’
Association, the Alaska Resident
Fishermen’s Union, the Alaska Nat

ive Brotherhood and a number of
others requesting their advice. Tel
egraphic replies to date show un
animity of opinion that the present
limit of 50 feet in length of seine
boats and 125 fathom of gear should
be maintained and be included in
the bill. Mrs. Mellick of Sand
Point advises that in the Shumagin
Island region, the seiners wish the!
gear of a boat limited to 75 fathoms
as was provided by the regulation.
With the allotment to the City of
Fairbanks of a loan and grant of
$50,000 by the PWA a few dyas ago
all of the applications for loans and
grants by the various cities of Al
aska have been approved by the
PWA and the funds allocated ex
cept as to the city of Douglas in
which the requisite plans and en
gineering and other details have
not as yet been furnished by the
city. The amounts of the various
loans and grants and of the cities
receiving the same are as follows:
Skagway, $40,000
Wrangell, $47,000
Juneau, $100,000
! Seward, $118,000
Fairbanks, $50,000
In the case of Seward above listed
the application of the city of Se
ward was for $60,000 only, but the
engineers of the PWA decided that
the engineering plans submitted by
the city were impractical and so
they made entirely new plans call
ing for a loan and grant of $118,000.
This amount has not been set over
to the city because Congress at the
last session failed to pass the nec
essary legislation authorizing the
city to incur indebtedness. One
other loan and grant application is
on it’s way, that of the City of
Nome for $100,000 for the construc
tion of public works made necessary
by the rceent fire irf that city. It
will be recalled that the situation
at Nome was examined by Col. E.
W. Clark of the PWA and his re
port has been made to Administrat
or Ickes.
Among the visitors at the Dele
gates office this week was Jesse
Growden, a brother of Hon William
N. Growden of Ruby, elected to the
Alaska Legislature last September.
Mr. Jesse Growden was formerly
employed at the Government Print
ing Office in Washington and expects
to resume work at an early date.
His native state is Tennessee.
