PUNT AI KODIAK. IN ALASKA
The New England Fish Company
one of the largest concerns of Its
kind on the American continent,
plans a large cold storage planti&t
Kodiak, in the island of Kodiak,
Southwestern Alaska, according to
advices from that town this week
There was talk of this big company
establishing a cold storage plaint
there two or three years ago, but
there were obstacles in the way, at
that time, that had to be removed
before construction could be initi
ated. One of these obstacles was
the fact that a part of the site for
the proposed plant was on an old
native burial ground and the
graves of the sacred dead could
not be disturbed at the will or
caprice of a fish company, or any
other private concern. There was
a legal way and that was the route
pursued; but it took time. Otto
Kraft, a pioneer merchant of Kodiak
was named agent of the New Eng
land Fish Company, and it was his
business to acquire possession of
the ancient cemetery for the site
for the plant. This Kraft accomp
lished by getting all the living des
cendants of the buried dead to con
sent to the removal and reburial
in the Russian orthodox cemetery
NEW ANGLE TO MURDER CASE
Counsel, for defense in the Gaines
murder case pending before the
Washington Supreme Court, has set
forth the contention that the body
declared to be that of Sylvia Gaines
-was that of another person altogeth
er. That at no time in the trial
was any proof offered showring con
clusively that the body discovered
was of different proportions and
because of difference in height and
weight could not be that .of Sylvia
Gaines; the fingers were more
Hunt and the chin receding while
that of Sylvia Gaines wan not. It
is believed by attorneys (for de
fense that Sylvia Gaines is not dead
based on evidence gathered dur
ing the past winter.
The Gaines trial will be remem
bered as one of the most sensational
on the Pacific Coast with evidence
presented the court that newspapers
refused to print. The murder was
alleged to have occurred around
Green Lake, Seattle, last June.
NEW HYDRO .ELECRIC PLANT
FOR MET1AKAIA
Contract has been awarded by the
U. S. Bureau of Education to P.
Manson and Son, Seattle contractors
for the construction of a hydro-elec
tric plant in the town of Metlakat
la, on Annette Island. Hubbell
and Waller are acting as engineers
for the contractors on this project
and will have active charge of the
installation and construction work.
A 250 h.p. hydro-electric plant
will be installed which will furnish
the town with lights and power.
The contract price being approxi
mately $35,000 and is to be com

ANNOUNCE DATE FOR
NAVAL CONFERENCE
The Three Power Nftval Confer
ence of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan will convene in
Geneva on June 20, the governments
of Great Britain and Japan have
been informed by the Secretary of
State, Frank B. Kellogg.
The notes sent to the two gov
ernments and made public by the
Department of State recently is as
follows:
In accordance with informal con
versations on this subject, I now
have the honor to confirm the ar
rangement that the Tjiree Power
Naval Conference at Geneva will
open at 4 o’clock on Monday, June
20, 1027.
:
there. The attorney-general had
pointed the way and the United
States commissioner at Kodiak re
ceived the presentation o£ the veri
fied consent of the living relatives.
Forty-one known and five unknown
skeletons wtre duly disinterred and
i
re-buried in fitting manner.
This particular site was the only
one available in Kodiak, on the
shore of a well-protected harbor,
save one owned and occupied by the
W. J. Erskine Mercantile Company.
Kodiak advices say Mr* Erskine is
now in the East financing a cold
storage plant for Kodiak on his
own account.
Kodiak is located in the center
of a great fishing ground. It is
near to the great Alaskan halibut
banks; is close to the cod banks;
and salmon and herring are in the
immediate vicinity. It is not a mat
ter for surprise that the New Eng
land Fish Company plans to estab
lish a big cold storage plant there;
it is rather to wonder how Kodiak,
located as it is in the heart of
<such a great fishing ground, has
so long been denied cold storage
facilities. For Kodiak was found
ed in 1797, when Seattle was but
a howling wilderness.

WHAT OF CHINA
Ask the average citizen on the
street “What of China” and What
is all the fuss about and he will say,
“I don’t Know.”
say I don’t know.
We ask in turn “Are the Chinese
making effort to drive foreign mis
sioners out of their country?” Are
they trying to break diplomatic re
lations with other countries or are
they fighting for their own self
preservation? Senator Borah is
quoted as saying that the movement
in China was “her declaration of
Independence.
Is our United States keeping the
faith with China in sending her
missionaries to convert her “heath
en” or is it using the church for the
advancement of the causes of com
mercialism. Are the European coun
tries and the United States doing in
China and to China what they would
have China do to them were their
positions reveresed?
China has appealed for help and
cooperation in her internal troubles
and the world has replied with gun
boats and soldiers. Where is the
vaunted Christian s civilization that
on the one hand supplies mission
aries and on the other supplies the
torch to a conflagration which may
in the end be far greater than the
late World War.
After the policy of “open door”
to America was instituted through
Secretary Hays Jhe traders of
America were welcomed by the
Chinese with the educational move
ment by and through missionaries
preaching the gospel of the Golden
rule, new life was instituted in
that nation. Shall the United
States now step in and undo that
which It has preached. The Chinese
or any other nation is amenable to
reason and kindness. Blind com
mercialism succors hate and envy
and. selfflshness, undoing all the
precepts of Christianity of religion.
Would it not be a better idea to
have our battle ships and soldiers
give succor rather than to have
them destroy in China?
ILLEGITIMACY
The children’s bureau of Wash
ington, D. C. estimates that there
are about 58,000 children born out
of wedlock every year in the Unit
ed States. As a rule, these children
lack normal homes, their mothers’
care and adequate support. About
30 percent die the first year. “Quite
an army to be inadequately housed
and eared for. Why ilUgitimate?
These children are heirs to the
kingdom of Nature and their spon
sors should be made responsible
for them, by the government. This
traffic in souls by irresponsible men
and women is a crime and tshould
be punished by law.”
The mother and the child pay
the bill while he who is as much
at sin goes home, washes his face,
puts on a clean collar and goes out, to
church and is absolved of his sin
by the single standard 'society. He
probably goes off and marries some
clean souled girl and is the father
of her children while his own ”il
ligitimate” children bear the stigma
and shame put upon it by society.
58,000 children born out of wed
lock each year in the United States,
50 percent of whom die because of
lack of proper care and adequate
housing. Who is responsible for
such a condition?
