the townships in the Tana
na Valley should be reserv
ed for the agricultural col
lege and school of mines,
now known as the Univers
ity of Alaska. This amend
ment will, if approved,
make reservation of sec
tions numbered 33 in each
township thruout the Terri
tory for the support of the
University, instead of lim
iting the reserved land to

H. R. 9866, to extend cer
tain provisions of the Whee
ler-Howard Act to the terri
tory of Alaska, was intro
duced by Delegate Dimond
on January 7. Incorporat
ed in the bill is a section
authorizing the Secretary
of the Interior to designate
as Indian reservations, the
lands occupied by the In
dians and Eskimos in Alas
ka and other public lands
adjacent thereto, providing
the residents of the areas
so to be designated as reser
vations vote in favor of the
creation of such reserva
tions. This proposed legis
lation has been approved at
the recent convention of
the Alaska Native Brother
hood.
Dr. Vilhjalmur Stefans
son, noted Arctic explorer,
called on the Delegate last
week and discussed the con
nection of the work he is
now engaged in with his
northern experience. He
explained that he has been
commissioned by the War
Department to compile a
hand-book of information
for Army use on living in
the North. Dr Stefansson’s
experiences as given in his
lectures and books have
done much to correct many
old established fallacies as
to the means of avoiding
and meeting emergencies
in the extreme cold. And
it is understood that his
selection for this work was
made on a non-competitive
basis, because he is the on
ly man capable of giving
direct information on tjjis
subject.
William L. Paul, Graijd
Secretary of the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood and for
mer member of the Terri
torial Legislature, arrived
in Washington Jan. 6th.Mr.
Paul is vitally interested in
the extension of the Wheel
er-Howard Act to Alaska.
He is also attorney for the
Alaska Native Brotherhood
in the suit to be brought in
the Court nr Claims under
the n”ovisions of the Public
Lav; No.152, 74th Congress
authorizing such action by
the Thlingit and Haida In
dians of Alaska, passage of
which was secured by De1^
gate Dimond last session.
Mr. Paul said he favored
the passage of the Dimond
Bill (H.R.8213), calling for
the abolition of fish traps
and limiting seining to res
idents of Alaska and also
limiting the size of seines,
boats and gears; and said if
requested he would be glad
to testify before the Com
mittee at the hearings to be
held on the bill introduced
by Hon. William I. Siro
vich, of New York.
H. R. 4159, introduced by
theDelegate during the last
session, to authorize pay
ment of $307.21 to the An
chorage Commercial Com
pany for supplies furnished
by the company to the Bur
eau of Indian Affairs, bu^t
on which payment was dis
allowed by the General Ac
counting Office, passed the
House January seventh.
January 8th, Delegate Di
mond introduced a bill, H.
R. 9959, for the aid of the
Eskimos and other native
reindeer owners of Alaska.
The bill authorizes the Sec
retary of the Interior to ac
quire by purchase or by
condemnation under the
right of eminent domain,all
reindeer not owned by the
natives as well as all equip
ment used in connection
with the reindeer industry
not at present owned by
the natives, and to hold the
same in trust and use it for
the benefit of the native
Eskimos and Indians of the
Territory. The bill further
expressly authorizes the
Secretary to finance or aid
in the financing of the mar
keting of the surplus rein
deer through the native co
operative associations, or
otherwise, so as to furnish
an outlet for the deer not
used by the natives for food
and clothing.A further pro
vision of the bill forbids
the acquiring of reindeer
by any who are not natives
of Alaska, thus preventing
the recurrence of any dif
ficulties which might arise

through the ownership of
reindeer by other than na
tives of the Territory.
Under the bill the Secre
tary is authorized to charge
grazing fees for deer own
ed by others than natives,
but express provision is
made that the natives of A1
aska and their associations
and organizations engaging
in the reindeer industry
shall be exempt from the
payment of all grazing fees
The opening paragraph of
the bill declares it to be the
policy of Congress to estab
lish and maintain for the
natives of Alaska a self-sus
taining economy by acquir
ing and organizing for and
on behalf of the natives a
general reindeer industry,
and by encouraging and de
veloping native activity
and responsibility, and by
preserving the native char
acter of said industry.
The passage of this meas
ure would guarantee to the
natives of Alaska, absolute
and full control of all rein
deer in the Territory by
and with the aid of the Gov
ernment. The bill author
izes an appropriation of
$2,000,000 for the use of
the Secretary of the Inter
ior in carrying out its pro
visions.
