Strange But True
Los Angeles, Calif, is about h

secure a crew.
Prices of halibut ranged a
round 5 and QV2 cents, swinging

YAKUTAT
-x
For the first time in the his
tory of Yakutat, the natives are
suffering from the effects of the
economic depression. We find
our credit cut off at the stores.
An act that has not occured be
fore. Needless to say, this helps
to promote the suffering among
the natives. Even the elements
have worked to rob us of earn
ing a dollar by sweeping the
ground clean of snow. If this had
not happened the natives might
have had at least three or four
days work shoveling snow, which
would temporarily have bettered
conditions. It seems to us
that a big corporation, such as
is established here, and is mak
ing profits off the backs of these
natives, they should find some
means of relieving conditions
that exist. Especially when they
claim to be a friend of the na
tives.
The latest report of the New
England Fish Co., is that they
are not going to run this season,
due to the uncertainty of prices
in the canned salmon market.
This leaves Libby without com
petition. And in complete con
trol to do as they please in re
gards to dictating to the fisher
men just what is what, when
and how.
inul so iung ago memoers oi a
native family were camped on a
fox island taking advantage ol
the minus runouts to dig a few
clams for themselves. While thev
were thus about their peaceful
business, they were approached
by the fox ranchers, who were
under the influence of intoxi
cating liquor, and told in abusive
and profane language, to get ofi
the island as they were disturb
ing the foxes. This was done
The Indians were surprised af
this attitude, as the previous
owner of the foxes on that is
' land had been accustomed tc
letting the natives camp there
On this island is an Old Indiar,
burial ground which the natives
hold sacred.
When one takes into consid
: eration the example set by some
of our white neighbors who ar«
: supposed to be whitemen yel
; who behave in a manner such
; as mentioned above, it is nc
; wonder that we natives some
[ times fall short of adopting thf
11 higher methods of the so-callec
I' civilized world.
Miss Marie Johnson who ha^
been in Juneau, the past feu
months in the hospital returnee
on the last boat, very much im
proved. Her many friends wer<
glad to welcome her back to he)
home town.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Watson alsi
returned on the last boat. The;
I spent the winter outside on
• vacation. They brought bad
with them a Ford car which the;
0 intend to take with them to th
>, beach where they operate
| placer claim.
Mr. Sheldon James who has
been to the Marine Hospital in
Port Townsend, Wash., for treat
' ment the past four months, re
turned on the last boat and his
condition has improved since he
! left us last fall. All the people of
Yakutat were glad to see him re
1 turn for he is one of our out
standing members who has
fought in behalf of the A. N. B.
He was also the second president
of the camp.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charlie White a baby girl was
torn on the 6th of April at 1:30
a. m. 1932.
Dave Willard, A. N. B. presi
dent of the Juneau camp, A. N.
B., arrived on the Watson, but
will only remain with us a short
while. He only wanted to gather
his belongings to take to Taku
Harbor where he intends to fish
for the Libby Co. this summer.
The local A. N. B. will miss him
this year for he has contributed
his good efforts for our camp.
We would be honored to have
more like him in our midst.
A reception will be given him
by the A. N. S. before he leaves.
The A. N. B. will participate . We
hope that he will enjoy himself
while he is with us.
Value of Halibut
Catch on Decline
-x
A bill to make more effective
and more stringent the rules,
protecting the extensive halibut
fisheries of the Pacific north
west, which are contained in the
convention entered into by
Canada and the United States
on May 9, 1931, Senator Johnson
Republican, of California, chair
man of the Senate commerce
committee. Senator Johnson
said he expects immediate fav
orable action by the senate.
An identical bill was reported
to the House several weeks ago
by Representative Davis, Demo
crat, of Tennessee, chairman of
the House committee on mer
chant marine, radio and fish
eries.
Fisheries Extensive
In his testimony urging enact
ment of the legislation, Federal
Commissioner of Fisheries O’
Malley pointed out that the
halibut fisheries have extended
till they now cover a stretch of
more than 2000 miles along the
Pacific coast and enter the
Bering Sea.
“Fishing effort has been tre
mendously increased,” he said,
“as shown by the fact that in
1910 the fishermen made 200,
000 sets of gear and in 1930,
1,000,000 sets, in order to main
tain the level of production.”
He explained that the catches
have dropped from 60,000,000
pounds in 1912 to 17,500,000
pounds in 1930. The value of the
catch to the fishermen has drop
ped from about $7,000,000 to less
than half of that. He said that
the international fisheries com
mission provided under the old
convention of 1923 and continu
ed under the new one of 1931 is
I well aware of the seriousness of
the situation and needs the
new regulations to divide treaty
waters into areas, to control the
catch in those areas, to regulate
the gear used, to close areas
populated primarily by small
halibut and to collect statistics
as a guide to the trend of the
fishery.
Canada to Prosecute
Under the terms of this bill to
uphold the convention of the
halibut fishery, “every national
or inhabitant and every vessel,
boat or other craft of Canada
found violating the said conven
tion or this act shall be deliver
ed as soon as practicable to an
authorized official of Canada
at the nearest point to the place
of seizure or elsewhere as the
officials of the United States
1 seizing the same and the auth
orized officials of Canada may
l agree upon, and the witnesses
■ and proof necessary to the pro
! secution of said persons and
vessels of Canada shall be furn
ished with reasonable prompti
) tude to the authorities of Cana
j da having jurisdiction thereof.”
i The bill was introduced in
c congress at the request of Sec
/ retary of State Stimson. At the
3 state department it is reported
i that Canada is as anxious as this
country for the legislation and
!has introduced a similar mea
sure in the Dominion parlia
ment.

To Teach Swimming
Seeking to overcome the ter
rific loss of life by drowning
each year—8,000 deaths being
the 1931 record—Red Cross
chapters throughout Arizona,
California, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Utah are making
preparations to hold lifesaving
and swiming campaigns during
the summer months.
Edwin H. Carroll, assistant
national director of First Airl
and Life Saving in announcing
plans for the safety campaign,
said nine special life-saving re
presentatives from the Pacific
Branch Office in San Francisco
will be at the service of chapters.
These experts will act as in
structors, teaching the beginners
and helping swimmers to im
prove their stroke.
As swimmers become more pro
ficient they are given instruc
tion in life-saving, thus aug
menting the thousands of vol
unteers who have been trained
to render service in any emer
gency.
Safety for swimmers and the
saving of human lives is the
primary purpose of the summer
campaigns, Mr. Carroll pointed
out.
The life-saving and swimming
campaigns will be held in pools
and rivers as designated by the
local Red Cross chapters each of
which will make its own ar
rangements and be in charge of
all registrations.
Salvage Ancient Barge
-x
A third imperial barge has
been salvaged from Lake Nemi,
in which were found two ancient
barges on which Emperor Cali
gula entertained lavishly in the
clays of the Ceasars.
The third barge lacks the or-'
nate decoration of the earlier
two and is believed to have been
a work boat.
The barge was buried in the
mud at the bottom of the lake.
It is in a splendid state of pre
servation except for a missing
part of the stern. The boat has
a double hull. The bow is sheer
ed very much and the stern is
vertical, common characteristics
of river boats of that time.
The boat has been raised from
its long resting place at the
bottom of the lake and placed
on a pontoon. It will be taken to
the museum of Lake Nemi.

Pinchot Gives Warning
A denunciation of wealth con
'centrated through political ma
chinations and a warning that*
the “common people” may rebel
and wrest control of the govern - J
ment from the capitalists,, were
delivered by Gov. Gifford Pin-'
chot in an address before the
City Club, Ceveland.
Facing an audience of influ- j
ential Ohio political and profes-,
sional leaders, Governor Pinchot!
pictured in the offing a political!
revolution as “farreaching and'
as badly needed” as that which
inspired the American Colonists
to overthrow the yoke of Eng
land in 1776. The depression, he
said, is exploding the popular
myth that the mass controls and
v'ealth best guides the destinies j
cf the country.
“For years the big fellows have,
walked arm in arm with poli-;
tics,” he said. “For years these!
men have ordered, bought, and
paid for the government policies
and government practices that
have guided this nation’s course.:
For years the American people
have been lulled into the false
faith that our affairs were best
ieft in the hands of these men.” j
