Gangsters for gold—criminals in exchange for the
twenty million dollars in virgin gold and the forty million
dollars from the gold mines or fisheries of the sea. This is
what it would amount to if the government adopts the bold
proposal which one Colonel C. A. Seone will suggest to At
torney General Cummings at Washington, according to re
cent press dispatches.
Colonel Seone would colonize the Rat Islands of the
Aleutians with all the criminals—convicted cutthroats, gang
-ters, paroles, dregs of America, and after seven years he
would transfer them to the main-land of Alaska for dissemi
nation throughout the territory. Alaska has something to
say tbout this. And Alaska’s prompt and emphatic answer
is “No.”
“This is the law of the Yukon, and ever she makes it
plain—
Send not your feeble and foolish; send me your strong
and your sane—
Not your dissolute, damned or despairful: not your crim
inal class and your stained—
You would send me the spawn of your gutters? Go, take
back your spawn again.”
And the law of the Yukon is likewise the law of Alaska.
The criminal never thrived in these parts. Alaska and Yu
kon have been especially crime-free. Short shrift ever was
made of all that ilk who come into the Northland. The con
sequence is that it has been the boast and pride of this coun
try that the latch string always was open and keys have
been unknown in home doors of the North. It will be dif
ferent if the hordes of criminals be sent to populate this land.
Alaska welcomes with open arms the hardy sons and
daughters of America such as are coming in person of the
Matanuska families, to carve out homes and grow up whole
some and honest and to build here a race of which the nation
may be proud. , , ,
But Alaska does not intend to be and will not be a
dumping land for the criminal element of America. If
courts and authorities are too weak to cope with the crimi
nal in the centers which are responsible for them—let them
keep them, not foist them upon this land which has problems
and barriers enough, let alone coping with vicious cut
throats. . , , , , ., ., .
If there is anything in which Alaskans take pride it is
in the high integrity and the honesty of its citizem y and the
fact that there are fewer criminals here per capita than in
any state in the Union. Let Alaska continue her unsullied
record in this respect and stand as an example for the rest
of America and tell others to clean up their own crime intest
ed nests without befouling a land which knows them not.

Writes of Prospecting And Fur En
terprises in the Bristol Bay Region
Frank H. Waskey, Alaska’s first
delegate to congress, now fur trad- ^
er with stations at Aleknagik and
Mulchatna, and business headquart
ers at Dillingham to the Anchor
age Times on April 15, says:
I “I know you will be interested in
learning that the Waskey family
! are all quite well. School at Pump
kin Centre will be out this week.
“Immediately thereafter, Deo Vol
ente, we all leave our home at the
‘fur’ end of beautiful Lake Alekna
gik, some twenty miles nor’west of
the bucolic village mentioned.
“Some few weeks of beaver trap
ping will then ensue, after which at
least one member of the tribe will
be firmly attached, alternately, to
the business end of a Washoe pick
and a Number 2. That is when we
are not walking to or from camp,
and the festive geese bedecked (we
hope) board, ensconced in the spruce
feathers or taking our weekly day
, of rest.
“Returned not long ago from over
Togiak way and now know two
more good places to dig when time
and means allow.
“Otto Kroehle is at work prospect
ing on a good looking creek near
the mouth of Togiak river. Chas.
Thorsen (Tomcod Charley) and part
ner are digging on Kwik or Kwig
ame creek, ten miles or so west of
Togiak village. Sure as shootin’
one of these days Togiak will be a
word with which to conjure.”
