That proviso is mandatory and
’he Legislature may not invali
date it. So any further qualifi
cation enacted to disqualify
voters will be to the hurt of
voters other than Indian.
With the rapid strides educa
tionally being made, with an in
creasing number of Indian chil
dren graduating from grammar
and high schools, that vote is
being augmented just that mucn
each year. As legislation is en
f.cted with a desire to eliminate
that vote, a solid phalanx is
created and instead of being
eliminated, it is augmented and
strengthened. The measure,
then which is intended to hurt
the Indian voter, becomes a
political boom-a-rang and hurts
only those who would cripple a
large portion of the voting popu
lation of Alaska.

The Open Forum
“WHAT I THINK”
By Henry Aitch
-x
The day of the small l.*CR«
is practically over. The time has
been when our logging was done
by hand and with oxen and
horses. In those days, a yoke of
steers, a length of chain, an ax
and a man were sufficient to
start a logging operation.
But that was a time when
mills were close to their markets
and the timber near the mills
and the mills were small.
But those times have passed—
lumber mills ship their logs
great distances and haul their
logs great distances. The loggers
have been forced to keep the
pace:—i.e., their operations are
on a large scale and they em
ploy costly and efficient ma
chinery with the possible ex
ception of operations in a very
few extremely valuable woods.
Alaska never was a hand log
gers paradise. The only timber
available to them being (appar
ently) exposed beach stuff, sc
full of wind shakes, growth
checks, conky shots and knots
as to be scarcely worth the wat
er to float them. Certainly they
are not worth the labor to put,
them in the water!
We have a lot of idle machine
ry, but that is not the fault of
<he Bureau of Forestry. The
blame must fall on the loggers
themselves, and (mainly) the
mill men. They, the mill opera
tors, in their efforts to get cheap
logs have dealt mainly with
hand loggers and men with small
rigs. And these loggers in order]
to make a lot of money easily
have picked the easy logging |
with the result that the mills (
have had to pay for and handle
. o much trash which couldn’t,
in any possible manner, be con
verted into merchantable lum
ber so that they have simply
starved out and the loggers, as
c.uch, have died a natural death.
Our beaches are hedged with
a growth that might be pulp
wood but certainly isn’t any
thing more. And the small log
ger apparently neither sees
through nor beyond it. Of course,
this is not the only reason that
our mills are idle, but- it has
been one of the chief contribut
ing factors.
It was this same greed or lack
of knowledge on the part of log
gers that broke most of those]
who were operating in yellow
cedar. They simply could not see
that it was good timber—not
easy logging that was essential
to their success. There is an
abundance of good timber to be
had here, forestry regulations,
notwithstanding. And I cannot
see how it would help any to
throw the country wide open to
homesteaders. That would simp
ly mean that every man with
logging aspirations would rush
out and start a timber claim,
with the expectation of making
a stake on his timber.
He would of course select a
claim convenient to water and
with an eye for a good harbor
and a good beach. As a result,
the market would be flooded
with logs offered for a little or
nothing and not worth even that.
I feel that the lumber indus
try would be strengthened if all
our beach growth was donated
to the pulp interests, and so
he forever eliminated as a men
ace (which it is) to the mills.
I repeat, there is any quanti
ty of good timber here—but it is
not within reach pf the small
logger. He might as well forget
it.
Except for the few that might
connect with the very few small
mills still intermitantly operat
ing, they might better dig clams.

The Women’s Civic Club de

of interest by members, others
leaving for Seattle is the cause
of the Club being unable to se

This Club was organized in 1913
and did many worthy deeds for
the town and its betterment.
Methinks the City Library is
quite a monument to this or

somebody will sit on a tack and
put enough vinegar and pep to
bring the Club back to life.
