NAVIGATION MENACE
Jonathan H. Wagner, chief *ef
the Alaska Division of the Bu
reau of Eduiation, is authority
for the statement that the U.
S. Engineers in Alaska and Gov.
George A. Parks have written a
letter to officials in Washing
ton protesting use of the Mason
Homestead site, south Wrangell
Narrows, for an industrial
school site.
According to which Peters
burg is a menace to navigation
and should get off the earth.
THEY ALL DID IT
Ninety-three per cent of the
co-eds of Ohio University ad
mitted that they neck—and
bragged about it. Out of 231
interviewed, 213 admitted that
they indulged in necking part
ies. Probably the balance were
more bashful.
THE HONOR SYSTEM GONE?
According to psychologists at
the University of Utah, at least
50 per cent of the students in
that institution “ride the pon
ies” at examinations.” Crowd
ed rooms make it easier for the
students who believe in cheating
pays, they say.

ANOTHER SLANT AT THE
PROHI QUESTION
-x
The following taken from the
Seattle Times gives another
slant at the prohibition ques
tion :
“One wonders whether there
has not been a change in pub
lic feeling about prohibition.
From the time the state of
Washington originally “went
dry” up to just a few years ago,
periodically the matter was sub
jected to reasonably indicative
tests at the polls. Every time
the matter came up, the dry
vote was larger, and the wet
vote was smaller. It would seem
as though the state of Washing
ton and Seattle itself believed
thoroughly in Volsteadism.
Therefore, today one wonders
that the active fight waged
against prohibition by the chain
newspapers makes so little im
pression hereabouts. It any se
rious resentment is caused, noth
ing happens to show it.
One wonders whether the
dries have become more toler
ant, less militant or have merely
shrunk to a minority.
CANADIAN FLYERS

More than 53,000 square miles

THE POWER TRUST IN B. C.
-o
“There seems to be a feverish
haste on the part of capitalists
from the United States to buy
-up municipally-owned electric
light plants on Vancouver Is
land and in British Columbia
generally.
Many of the municipalities are
accepting offers made.
But won’t we wake up five oi
ten years from now and find we
were fools to peddle these
rights?
The difficulty seems to be
that the cities and towns
[ standing by themselves, are urn
' consolidations in the Pacific
terprises and we have n*> Hy
tl;0, like Ontario, which could
serve the entire province.
This little city with 2,000
people, has just agreed to sell its

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
NEW COMMISSIONER
-Q
Scott H. Peters, president of
the Grand Council Fire of Am
erican Indians, of Chicago, stat
ed recently in an interview with
the Chicago Herald Examiner
that his organization made the
following ten recommendations
to the ne wCommissioner of In
dian Affairs, Charles H. Rhoads:
problems.”
1. Bui 1 more schools and
whenevj. possible arringe for
attendam e of Indian children
in publi; schools.
2. Do away with the policy of
making all Indians mechanic,
and lab *rers. Encourage them
artisticaPy and fit them for pro
fessions. Also teach them vo
cations that can be of u>e in the
environment and surroundings
from winch tney come and are
oest suited for.
3. Buhl more hospitals and
increase ‘ he medical se ‘Vice.
4. Put as employees in the In
dian Service, men and women
who are of high calibre and in
true sympathy with the Indian.
Do not cake these civil service
position..
5. Encourage and devmop the
Indian handicrafts.
6. Do not ban trio il cere
monies.
7. Establish librarie: and re
creational activities on ti:e re
servations.
8. Add four years high school
course to the Indian schools.
9. Establish employment bu
reaus.
10. The Indian does ni ash
cy arity. All he asks is a square
deal and we look to Commis
sioner Rhoads to see that we get
T—The Indian Leader.
The Alaska Native his asked
tor these same things the past
several years for the Iodian ci
tizens of Alaska. Summ..*g up
the ten recommendat’wi t we
would say that the ten recom
mendations above c.tvi say
‘ Treat us as ordinar/ human
beings and we will solve our own
problems.

“THE DAMN JEW”
Not so long ago, Henry Ford
got into a controversy with the
Jewish race in which he charg
ed those people with about ev
ery thing underthe sun. Aaron
Sapiro brought suit against Ford
in the sum of $1,000,000 which
was settled out of court. Now the
other day, Ford was at a lunch
eon given by President Hoover
at which time he eulogised the
Jewish race. His about face on
the matter come from under
standing the aims and efforts of
those people. So long as he did
not under stand, he condemned.
Which is true of every race un
der the sun.
Ford said: I am happy to come
here tonight to pay tribute to my
old friend David A. Brown, and
through him to the great race
which is proud and fortunate to
count him among its own. Da
vid A. Brown is a shining ex
ample of the great benevolence
of the Jewish people, their phil
anthropy, their eagerness to
make this world better, to edu
cate the untutored, to heal the
sick, to care for the orphans;
their intense and intelligent
participation in all that makes
for civic righteousness and so
cial justice stamps them a greal
people—and David A. Brown ii
one of their greatest and flnesl
sons:”

The salmon industry is in bet

:\consolidations In .the Paclfli
!Northwest whicli have left only
live or six big units to compete
wnn the twenty-nve or tmrty
units at the ena of last year, ac
cording to K. L. Ames, president
oi the Booth Fisheries Company.
This company acquired no new
properties during the period of
consolidations. According to Mr.
Ames, the entire pack of that
company has been sold.
During the past year the com
pany retired $181,000 of the un
derlying bonds and about $140,
000 of tile first mortgage bonds
through sale of vacant property
in Detroit, thereby saving about
$25,000 a year in interest and
taxes.
The company recently report

the fiscal year ended June 30 at
btween $7.50 and $8.50 a share
on preferred against $2.34 a

SALMON INDUSTRY IN
OREGON
-o
When the commercial fishing
season opened on the Columbia
River this spring approximately
20,000 persons residing in Astor
ia and environs turned their at
tention to the intensive quest of
capturing the Royal Chinook
salmon and his cousins.
The salmon industry in the
Webfoot State is it’s third larg
est industry and is centered in
the first metropolis of Oregon.
Seven thousand fishermen are
to be found combing the Co
lumbia River and nearby ocean
for the silvery horde; 2,000 gill
netter’s boats may be seen
weaving all night, every night
over the gloomy river; 1,000
trolling boats are to be seen pac
ing up and down th Oregon and
Washington coasts searching for
the schools of salmon and 1,000
cannery workers found sharp
ening their knives and stacking
tin cans preparatory to packing
the spoil of the fishing vessels.
If the season is productive, mil
lions of dollars will flow into
the pockets of the 7,000 fisher
men and cannery workers to
feed 20,000 Astoria mouths dur
ing the next year.
..Romance? Romance is there
when the fishing season comes!
round. Last night, tonight and^
every night except Sunday
night, from May 1 to January,
thousands of gillnet fishermen
will drift back and forth across
the Columbia playing out their
nets and hauling them In, in
quest of the Royal Chinook.
True sportsmen, these gillnet
ters! They stake their lifes and
their wealth in their gamble.
Lying out on that black expanse
of the Columbia with a tiny
light for their only safeguard
against being run down by ocean
bound steamers and the “putt
putt” of their gasoline motors
as their only companions in the
darkness, they risk their lives
in their work. And, not infre
quently does a gill-netter fail
to report at the cannery the
next morning to claim reward
for his catch. Remains of his
boat may be found in the surf.
The welllbeing of their fam
ilies depends upon the luck and
skill of the gill-net fishermen.
If this happens to be a “gill-net
year,” the fishermen will be well
paid. Debts will be settled, new
homes will be built, old cars will
be swapped for new, and the
city of Astoria will prosper. If
the year happens not to be a
“gill-net year” the sportsmen’s
stake is lost and another season
will be awaited while the gill
netters and their families tide
over on money borrowed from
the big packers.
The above is taken from the
Portland Oregonian as a descrip
tion of what the fisheries mean
to Oregon and what it could
mean to Alaska.
