“The House That Quality Frill”
ANOTHER ‘“CENTURY OF
DISHONOR
The dealings of the federal gov
< rnment during the past century
has been well termed a "century of
dishonor.” The “scrap of ,paper”
so-called Belgian Treaty was no less
dishonored by the Germans than the
dishonoring of treaties solemnly
entered into by the federal govern
ment with the Indians.
Now Senator Frazier of North Da
kota and Senator Wheeler of Mon
tana bring to light the machinations
of the Indian Bureau and Secretary
Work in the Jackson Barnett case.
Barnett was being robbed of an es
tate valued at $2,500,000 by and
with the connivance of the Indian j
Bureau. Secretary of the Interior
Hubert Work enters when he induc
ed the Department of Justice to call
off it srepresenatives who were about
ask the grand jury to indict In
dian Commissioner Burke and oth
ers who were looting the estate of
Jackson Barnett, Indian imbecile.
Senator Pine sof Oklahoma i
charged by Burke as trying to dis
credit the Indian Bureau because it
refused to appoint henchmen of Pine
to important positions in the Indian
Service. At present Burke is trying
to sustain this charge in compliance
with the request of the Senate Com
; mittee.
Question was raised as to the cor
rectness of statistics relative to sui
! cide in the United States during the
year 1927. Checking back on the
j authority at hand the figure 14,356,
■is correct; beside this large number
of suicides there were 9,4 70 homi
I tides during the same year—ac
i counted for.
Automobile accidents took a toll
of 23,213 lives, an increase of almost
ten per cent over the preceding year.
Scarlet fever accounted for 2,4 40
while whooping cough took 7,4 45.
Causes due to chi’d birth claimed
14,860 lives—a little more thain is
J claimed by suicide.
IMMIGRATION MAY BE SUSPEND
-o
| Congressman Albert Johnson of
: Washington recently' stated relative
j to immigration: ‘I am now of the
| opinion that we are rapidly approach
ing the time when a suspension of
(
! immigration will be demanded. Ex
Jemption will be made only for the
! closest relatives.
We need no labor except domestic
j servants, and we cannot hope to help
1 the future of the United States by
the arrival of a continuous line of
servants of all degrees. The coun
try wants more and more restric
| tions.”
THE LAW IS FUNNY
A Wisconsin man who killed a
wolf, without a hunting license, is
“I
sent to jail for 40 days, and given
5 30 bounty, both for killing the
wolf. Isn’t the law funny?
-o
Two young men were having real
heavy sledding at Wrangell. They
went out to Pat’s Creek and lived in
a a old Indian cabin, living off the
land and just a jump ahead of an
empty belly. They killed an ordin
ary black dueks-those “ya-ahn-ni’s”
so common of a winter in these wa
ters.
Along came a smart game warden
vho arrested them for killing mi
grator ybirds and the Judge gave
’em 60 days.
‘“Migratory birds!” Some of
those game wardens don’t know the
difference between a raven and a inal
lard, yet presume to arrest honest
citizens who kill black ducks to
keep Trom starving.
WRANGELL HAS HOPES
Ole Nergaard, former superin
tendent of the Alaska Consolidat
ed cannery at Yes Bay was ‘.n
Wrangell recently giving that vicini
ty the once-over with the idea of
taking over the Alaska Sanitary Co’s
properties. He was muchly im
pressed with the idea of combining
a cannery with the cold storage
plant. He is quoted as stating
“the only thing that prevented his
I making definite announcement that
j he was going ahead with the propo
sition was the fish supply.”
i agreements whereby he can secure
; more trap-fish.
| He returned to Seattle on the
| steamer Queen with the hope of be
ing successful in putting the deal
through and returning in a few
j weeks.
BRYANT ON FISH TARIFF
i _
fish enough to operate, which would
Le when the bulk of the fish was pur
chased on the Alaska side; but no
one will be willing to put one on, un
til there is liklihood of the business
being concentrated on this side.
It is claimed that fish can be ear
ned from Ketchikan to Prince Ru
pert on a car ferry for a cost not
exceeding what it now costs the fish
ermen to deliver them to port.
If this i3 the case, and I believe
it is, the fishermen should have the
I same competition of buyers and pric
i es as now.
j If these regulations were put into
effect new cold storage plants would
be built to accommodate the increas
ed business, more men would be em
! ployed, more homes would be built
and business generally would im
prove.
' This can be accomplished by cen
tering the fishing business at Ketchi- i
Ran, and I think it would be to the
advantage of the fishermen and to
e veryone living in this part of Alas
ka. '
