NAUGHTY ALASKA
The favorite indoor sport at
Washington, D. C. these hectic
times seems to be venting an
over abundance of spleen on poor
old Alaska. It seems that our Ter
ritory is a veritable hot bed of
vice; is inhabited almost exclus
iveiy by bootleggers and kindred
spirits; that our politics is in aj
sad state of corruption; and that
entirely ioo much money is being
squandered in developing oi.r|
natural resources — money that j
i
could be used to much better ad j
vantige to furtuer the political
ambitions oi "some of these lam
pant senators.
Ti.e Press of Alaska has un
ited in resenting and refuting
such unwarranted attacks. We
resent having our wrist slapped
and told that we are such a bad
bov. Ahtska is no more infested
with bootleggers than any of the
States, which is a condition made

February, 12, 1920.
The Executive Office of
the Alaska Game Commission
has received reports of recent
cases in the Cordova and Nenana

keep record of furs purchased,
and to pay Territorial pelt taxes.
Mr. Leen was fined the sum of
$21. th.it being the amount of
the irregularity in pelt taxes

On February 1, 19:16, Warden

before U. S. Commissioner C. C.
Hyde, charging him with deal
ing in furs without a license.
Mr. Matich was fined $25. and in

bear, 7 lynx, 2 red fox, 1 marten,
and 1 muskrat were seized.
Pr®ceedings have been started

possible by a piece of legislative
lolly. The chinches of Alaska
declare that, considering the Iron
tier conditions of Alaska, she is
si gularly free of vice, more so,
in fact, than almost any point in
the States per capita.
Wnen we read the drivelings
of these over-zealous few, we are
always inclined to wonder if the
thooret cal condition of vice is so
abhorrent or whether it is just
a fine opportunity to make polit
ical capital. Possibly they like
the noise of their own thunder

they do not speak authentically,
