You have a right to ask: Can
not you get his consent? I leave
it to others to answer that ques
tion. It seems that some can and
feme cannot I recognize the
futility of trying to build up or
get financial backing for a busi
ness which can be swept away at
the whim of one man, who poor
t evil, is merely the mouthpiece,
the puppet who jumps, runs
and speaks when the strings are
pulled.
So you see how the vicious
cycle works If you try to operate
a sawmill in Southeastern Alas
ka, you are compelled to saw
'imber, cut after the most ap
proved timber hog methods from
a forest which has never had the
benefit of a cleansing fire. You
have to use timber, which, in its
entirety is not attractive even
to pulp mills at present. If you
will notice how the two pulp
sales at present laid out are
strung out to include young
growth, green timber with the
least percentage of cull stuff,
even if they do have to make a
tow of a hundred miles, you have
the proof of this. To discourage
local operators from putting in
to operation a much discussed
p an of working up and shipping
to outside pulp mills such tim
ber as was not profitable to mill
here and thus relieve the saw
mill of the burden of trash, the
clause prohibiting shipment
vnthout consent has been tacked
on. The price of pulpwood keeps

vice calls “check” to the local
operator.
When we see what power the
'mber interests wield we cannot
but be impressed. A recent ex
imple was the embargo on im
ports of pulpwood from Russia
\Ve see the futility of one man
standing against them, but the
people of Alaska who have
everything to gain and nothing
to lose should get busy in the
name of Americanism.
It matters not to the string
pullers that a billion dollars
worth of timber has rotted here
in Alaska in the past twenty
five years. They have been re
ieved of its competition in the
market. It matters less to them
that settlement and development
has been checked here. They
have been making good profits
at the expense of the develop
ment of the Territory. It mat
ters not one iota to them thaf
in so selfishly directing the
opposition of a policy basical
ly so sensible that they are un
dermining the foundations of the
most equitable government the
world has ever seen.
It matters not that the har
vest they are reaping in thus
destroying the people’s confi
dence in the truth, honor and
honesty of our officials and lead
ers, thereby making it increas
ingly hard for the average man
to participate in industry on
other than wage basis It matters
not that it is fast increasing the
army of Bolshiviki, atheists
bankrobbers, gunmen and law
breakers of all kinds.
No man feels any respect fo’
a law or ruling which has beer
imposed, or is being taken ad
vantage of, by another man or
group of men for their own per
sonal gain. No government can
long exist which allows its func
lions to be perverted to the wor
ship of the Golden Calf.
Conservation is common sens'
and on the strength of the vi
‘ion of economical administra
‘ion it holds forth has been sold
to the American people. It is
basically sound but unfortunate
ly we have allowed the adminis
trators of the policy to become
class conscious. Alaska and the
! people of Alaska have not shown
i that they are of the class which
; require any consideration.
That which costs you nothing
is worth little to you, be it t
fortune or a feather.

YAKUTAT
As the book tells that Rip Van
Winkle slept twenty years, the,
[people who know Yakutat also
know that Yakutat has yet to
wake up. The mention of con
vention at Yakutat this coming
fall is just the alarm clock that
was needed as we believe that
Yakutat will really awaken bvj
the time that the convention isj
in full swing this fall. In the
last A. N. S. and A. N. B. meeting
we decided to install an electricj
light plant. With the aid of
Libby McNeill and Libby we be
lieve the Light System will bej
completed soon, as the Libby’s
steamer will bring the machin-1
ery up next month. The people!
of Yakutat don’t exactly know
just what the cost will be but
what ever it is we feel sure that i
we can meet it as in the past;
whatever we undertook we have;
never failed to finish.
It seems as though we have
to hand it to the City Team of:
Yakutat, last year’s city cham- j
pions for winning the chamnion
*. hip again this year. The Yaku
tat City team suffered only one
defeat in two years and that
was by the All Stars of Yakutat
by a score of 19-18, but in the
leturn game and other games
the City team won with ease. In
the last game, all the best play
ers from other teams in Yakutat,
were picked and challenged the
city team. The city team accept
ed the challenge and won by a
score of 48-24. Members of the
City team are as follows: Wil
liam Jackson,coach and treasur
er; Harry K. Bremner, coach;
Richard P. Reese, Capt.; Oscar
Smith, Harry Jackson, Peter
Harry and George Bremner. The
City team is now called Mt. St.!

HAINES
Considerable changes in the
weather and other things seem
to be the cause of the midget flu ;
epidemic here the last few |
days. However, no serious cases
have arisen. Mr. Patsy Davis who
has been in the hospital for two!
months after an attack of Die’
months is now up and around.
Here is news. So new we didn’t
know of it. According to the Ju
neau papers, a riot was immi
nent, due to the enmty between
Klukwan friends of Ed Donnelly
and Haines friends of John Fps
sett, suspected of murdering
Donnelly.
j Donnelly had been buried on
January 24th but the body was
exhumed and on March 9th a
second coroner’s inquest was held
Dr. Pigg of Juneau testi
fied, as did Bill Price and E Uhc
i Warren. Fassett, represented by
'attorney Faulkner of Juneau,
I was placed on the stand and
told his story of how Donnelly
died while they were out trap
ping and he brought the b .dy to
j Juneau. A letter purporting to
be a confession of the crime
could not be introduced as Fas
sett could neither read nor write,
and it was proved he had merely
asked a Juneau native to answer
for him a letter of inquiry from
Klukwan.
The coroner’s jury returned a
verdict of death from cause or
causes unknown and found that
Donnelly did not meet his death
by violence. Following this ver
dict, Fassett was dismissed and

/assett, Faulkner, Dr. Pigg Ass’t
'istriet attorney G. W. Folta and
special investigator Mr. Sequoia
returned to Juneau.
Wherever the Juneau paper
l ot the idea of the riot is beyond
all. The boat that brought the
1 ody of Donnelly to Haines from
Juneau was chartered by the
Haines camp. The last rites wTere
performed in the local A. N. B.
Hail. Mr. Donnelly was a charter
member of the local camp and
a faithful supporter up to the
time of his removal to Juneau.
With such a record as one of
the builders of the local cnmp
he well deserved the last help.
The trial was held in the A. N. E.
Hall while the Queen waited un
til it was over. Needless to say,
no such a thing as enmty ex
ists between the Haines and
Klukwan people.
