the roundtrif on iiame steamer an opportunity to see a generous
portion of Interior Alaska scenic offerings uuring layover of the
boat at Seward—and is tremendously worth while. Excursion

travelers ample time to oonnect with steamer for return to
Seattle. For details of trip see agent at Seward Dock.

Speaking of affairs local:—Bill
Worth should sail out of here with
a big majority on election day. His
opponent, if elected, would repre
sent this neck of the Territory about
the same as he high hands it in Pe
t tersburg. Worth is for open and
^ fair discussion; Locken for steam
| i oiler tactics. Political power, to
Worth, is an opportunity to aid the
Territory and its people. Political
power to the Independent (?) candi
late means just what the fish trap
^interests, the herring killers, the
packing combine and the high lords
of exploitation decree. No matter
what he thought, personally, he’d
| have to grind as the big machine

no grinding for us common people.

“Oh, well, the Indians at Kake
will fare well enough. The U. S.
Bureau of Education will finance
another store for them and give
them other handouts.” This bit of
conversation, anent the Kake fire
and the conditions of those burnt
out, was picked up off the street re
cently. Now there’s some misunder
standing bearing on what the educa
tional bureau has done in Kake or
in other Native villages. Not, so far
as we’ve been able to find,—unless
it is in Metlakatla, alone—has the
U. S. Bureau of Education handed
out a nickle in financing any of the

Both refine Union Oil products. The one was an experiment
of fearless oil pioneers—the other, which now turns out Union
Gasoline and Aristo Motor Oil—is the result of research and
development covering four decades.
OU say that you can’t tell the
difference in gasoline—that
is, that the difference is so slight
that it is hard to distinguish it.
But there is a difference in good
gasolines. And there is a way in
which you can judge the fuel you
give your motor.
You can find out how long and
bow well it has stood the test of
the years.
Time has a habit of weeding
out all the unprogressive, ineffi
cient things which cannot “make
the grade.”
An article has to be good to
stand the test of time.
And this is true of non-deto
Bating Union Gasoline.
When you buy Union Oil
products you get
confidence from
the knowledge that
Union has been re
fining since the first
refineries on the
Coast turned out gas
oline for the first
crude automobiles
overtwent y-fi v e
years ago.
Even before that, when the few
struggling California plants were
not making gasoline Union Oil
Company were refiners of kero
sene and naptha, the popular
commodities of pre-auto days.
The first refinery in the West
was a crude litde one still affair
built by the Hardison and Stewart j
Company (which a few years
later became Union Oil Com
pany) at Santa Paula in 1887*
Almost forty years ago—and
now there are seven huge Union
Oil refineries. In each of them
scientists and chemists are ever at !
work with painstaking care test
ing each step in the process of
refining.
These four decades of research i
secure tor you tne
greatest improvement
in the quality of the

and general town building was car
l.ed on by village money or through
funds obtained by sale of stock to
village people. This stock selling
proposition was strenuously pushed
by the Bureau representatives, in
the villages named, under glowing
promises of fat dividends, soaring
Ivlock values and low prices for home
commodities'. However, the Bureau
didn’t burden itself with any stock.
It was “educating” the Natives.
What the Bureau did at Kake is
practically what has been done in
the other towns that have stores,
mills and so on under Bureau super
supervision.” Taking Kake, in this
instance, because it’s near at hand
and in the glow of its embers, we
find that several years back, one
Sidnor, Industrial Director, U. S. B.
E., in Kake at that time, worked
hard to start a so-called cooperative
general store and mill. In this labor
he followed a schedule of the Bu
reau. In one way the idea was sup
posed to be educational; in another
the Indian owned stores and mills
were to protect the town folk from
beng “gouged” by floating stores,
trading posts and cannery commis
saries. On top of all this, however,
i.he big thing was the great god
PROFIT. There was to be great and
rich melon cuttings. Promises of
juicy returns didn’t seem to be han
dicapped, by the way, in the sadly
small returns of the other profit
sharing outfits. This woful feature
wasn’t made a part of the argument
to purchase stock. In all these stores
and mills, owned by Indian share
holders, the Bureau held a sort of
supervision over Native manage
ment. Outwardly, the schemes were
good. There were several flaws, in
wardly. One of these flaws was
that the Bureau, as a business su
pervisor, didn’t know anything of
merchandising nor milling except
in a wide flung, theoretical way.
'ihe Industrial „ Directors,—Bureau
employees—as a rule, knew less. |
Witness the miserable botch and
loss of money in the Hydaburg Trad
ing Company affairs in^l918-1919,
in Klawock about the same time and
in Kake in 1925-1926. It couldn’t
have been worse under absolute In
dian management and supervision.
There was another big flaw in the
selection of Industrial Directors—
and this same bad streak often ex
tends into the engagement of the
teaching staff. Seemingly there is
no effort to hold efficient men and
women. On the other hand there is,
apparently, a rather firm desire to
retain some who aren’t worth any
where near what their salaries are.
Anyway, it is all Indian money in
the stores, in the mills, in the halls,
in the lighting plants—in every
thing. The Bureau cash-backs the
schools, school hospital supplies, the
text books, and in some villages has
nurses on the payrolls. The Bureau
hunds out no money, nor does it
give material aid in town enter
prise. In the big stock selling game
in Kake nearly $7,000Jfcwas realized.
However, this wasn’t sufficient to
build store and purchase machinery
and merchandise by nearly $2,000.
But, as it was thot that the neces
sary funds could be obtained by a
more determined stock selling cru
sade, the Bureau supplied the mill j
machinery on a mortgage drawing a
tat rate of interest. Indian money
eventually cancelled this obligation
that was questionable in its incep
tion. On the subauthorizations there
is $25. for the indigent.

President Coolidge, through the
political bosses S. J. Presscott and
E. F. Colliday, has requested that
Fred A. Fanning turn in his resig
nation. Who is this Fanning, and
what was he? For a long run of
jears he was directly connected with
insane war veterans under the title |
of Commissioner. He has bled his
a self appointed committeeship of
charges continually in several dif
ferent ways, and in some years his
fP.chings ran to $20,000 annually.
Why Fanning is requested to hand
in his resignation instead of being
bodily kicked out and prosecuted is
for President Coolidge to explain.
