Bible precept thut“ it is more
blessed to give than to receive”
Once more we are asked to
contribute 10 the relief of the
suffering in foreign lands, in a
short while the annual dues for
he Red Cicss will becon e due.
Republicans are being ask
ed to contribute towards the
election of a Republican presid
ent, besides which there are ot
her causes asking for help all
of which funds go out of the
country. The Alaska press
is, of course, expected to give
these matters full publicity, in
fact are considered to fail in
their duty if details are lacking.
Millions of dollars have been
voluntarily subscribed by Alas
kans when they have been appea
ed to, but not a dollar ever comes
back; nothing is forthcoming

were it not for private generos
ity and disinterested care, he
might be lying in our streets “a
la Amenian”. As it is he is able
to get round on crutches, drag
ging one useless limb behind
him.
This is only one instance of
the distressing condition of the
Indians in the Copper River val
ley, just a handful of whom sur
vive of the powerful and healthy
tribe of thirty years ago, before
the white man depleted their
fish and game, but brought dis
ease and suffering.
When the local advertising
from the local candidates for
office at the forthcoming gener
al election begins to come in,
the publishers of the local papers
in the various divisions *vill feel
I ke walking on air.
