ure. “There are 365 days in a j
, year. You work eight hours a
I day, that makes 122 days that
' you work. Dere are 52 Sundays
! vich leaves seventy days. Dere
! are 14 legal holidays and two
Jewish holidays vich leafs 54
oays. You get one hour for
lunch vich makes 40 days dat
leafs 14 days. Den I give you
two weeks vacation every year.
So ven in the hell do you vork?”
—Hulla-Balloo.

tives and has held their inter
ests at heart, is doing a real mis
sionary work. She is not only
j caring for their medical needs,
but she is constantly going
i amongst them giving every help
I needed. She is living in the
i
midst of a white population that
is very much prejudiced against
our people but she has succeeded
in gaining, from a few of them,
more fair consideration for the
natives. Her quarters, a very
small house she has arranged to
be a clinic room and a small
room for herself.
The government has been pay
ing a rgular salary for years to i
a Doctor Chase, who practices in !
the city of Cordova, to look after
the health of the natives in this
section. I learned from the na
tives that he has been thru their
country only twice.
Years ago a priest from the
Greek Orthodox Church was
through this country and held
services with the natives. They
are following, to this day, the
instructions he' gave them. Their
education is very limited, only a
few of them being able to read
and write and yet they are keep
ing up th good work the priest
brought to them.
Trapping on which they de
pend to provide the necessities
for their families, was a failure
this winter and the natives are
aware of a hard year ahead of
them. The great need is a source !
of steady employment, at least
through the summer months. In
the past, this has been lacking.

steady employment In this dis
t r i c t through the summer
months, and thanks to Superin
tendent Shepard, after inter
viewing me he promised to use
every effort towards employing ;
all the native help possible thru'
ihe coming summer.
I visited in their homes, talked
and ate with them. Everyone
was anxious to teli me their
needs and asked me if I knew of
anyway to improve their condi- I
tions. One man came to me!
and told of his brother being j
sentenced to a term of six i
months in jail by the Commis
sioner at Chitina, for having
beer in his possession, and also
told of how a white bootlegger
was fined fifty dollars and turn
eci loose oy tins same commis
sioner. On another occasion a
young native girl, a minor, was ;
put under the influence of liquor
by a white bootlegger but when
relatives reported the matter to
the Commissioner he advised
them that it was impossible for
him (the United States Commis
sioner) to do anything because
the girl was a minor.
The school superintendent of
that district has been there only
once in two years—and then
only stayed overnight at the ho
tel. Jonathan Wagner, Chief of
the Alaska Division of the Bu
reau of Education, has never
been in this district and natural
ly they do not know of the great
needs of these people.
I held a meeting with them
and friends to prove just how
eager these people are to better
their conditions; they came to
attend this meeting from all
distances. I remember two
men in particular who travelled
sixty miles to be at the meeting.
I explained to them the gener
al work of our organizations and
\ ointed out the benefits to be
derived from such. I urged them
to send representatives to our
J convention at Ketchikan next 14
I November and gave them my as
surance that I would report
i their condition to the ALASKA
| NATIVE BROTHERHOOD.
J I left two copies of our Const!
| lotion with them, one with the
i present chief of the tribe, who
can read and write, and the oth
er with the Bureau School;
teachei. It is the plan of the
teacher to conduct night school
for the benefit of the older na
tives to teach them to read and
write and to drill them on the
Brotherhood Constitution. These
natives have never heard of our
organizations and they have
never voted in their lives.
I talked BROTHERHOOD and
SISTERHOOD every place I
came in contact with our peo
ple—some at Cordova and some
at Valdez. One young man
from Valdez, who received his
education from some of the
schools in the States, promised
that he would attend our con
vention in November.
I am submitting these facts in
the hope that we do not lose
sight of our people in other sec
tions of this Territory that are
in dire distress. Let us send
organizers to other parts of
Alaska, and not delay in spread
ing our good work thruout this
Territory. It may be a good
idea to furnish transportation
for one of the men from the
Copper fiver district We roust
forever strive to educate our
people so that wt i ay carry on
our worn more eim* ently lor
the general betthir. ■ :t of the.
race and the Ttc- Wy.

“Pappa was hanging, a picture
and it fell on his toe,” sobbed
the son.
“But that is nothing to cry
bout,” replied Mrs. Smith. “You
should have laughed at that.”
“I did,” sobbed the boy.
