the salmon to increase? They
can put in all the weirs in the

er will the salmon be depleted.
Abolish the fish traps, and save
what few fish we have left in
the creeks.”

► SITKA
* The Native fur sealers were in
1 structed by the Fish Commis
sioner to nna out n iur setu c<u
salmon. The boys after consid
erable observation, came to the
conclusion that the seal do feed
on salmon. They sent to head
quarters salmon fresh from the
stomach of a fur seal.
The trollers from all over are
here and not catching enough
king salmon to eat.
The operations of the big her
ring smoke boats has interfered
with the trolling operations in
this section. They are taking
big loads of herring away for
fertilizer. Those trollers who
are interested, have called a
meeting to be held Sunday for
the purpose of considering ways
and means of stopping the big
“stink plants” from operating.
The meeting will be held in the
A. N. B. Hall. As a gentle re
minder we refresh the reader’s
mind by reference to the Decla
ration of Independence which
declared petitions were ignored
by the king and as a last resort
! came the Declaration of Inde
, pendence.
One herring seiner caught as
many as 400 king salmon among
the herring. These herring fish
ermen sell caught king salmon,
having paid a license of $25. but
the non-resident troller hds to
pay $250 to sell the same kind of
salmon which he catches on his
trolling gear. “All men may be
created equal” in the sight of the
law but they do not share equal
burdens of government.

“BLOCK VOTE IS BROKEN”
.. So begins an editorial in the
Juneau Empire.
..With this we agree for the
figures indicate that the Empire
candidates received 725 votes out
of a possible 887.
Of course, the “block voting”
that the Empire talks about is
not the Juneaii Feds, but the In
dians.
The Rustgard Appeal
Proof of continued “block vot
ing” not based on reason ac
cording to the Empire is that
Mr. Rustgard appealed to the
Natives without result.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Rust
gard failed to get the Indian vote
because they were more intelli
gent than he thought.
He appealed for their votes by
telling them that he would sup
port Henry O’Malley, the one per
son who is responsible for their
great misery and poverty.
Mr. Rustgard told the Indians
that Henry O’Malley was doing
the very best that he could, and
the way to get something from
O’Malley was to “cooperate” with
nim, and that nothing would ev
er be gained by “fighting” for
their rights.
Well, the Indians knew the
story of the Boston iea raity
too well to fall for the bait pre-, £
pared by the Empire, but handed £
out by Mr. Rustgard. £
If the editors, of the Empire £
would read the Declaration of £
Independence written by their }•{•
professed great leader, Jefferson,, *j|*
they would realize that petitions j*
and diplomacy are as nothing £
when directed to tyrants be they jf
King George III or King O’Mai
ley I. We believe that the spirit (£
of Patrick Henry is more truly. £
lepresentative of the 100 per cent £
American, than the editors of||*
the Juneau Empire with their £
soothing syrup of “diplomacy.” j|
|
The “Norab” big Deisel yacht,***
from San Diego, owned by a Mr. j*
Baron, took on “40 spuds of,*{*
smooth, even size if you have to,
open 40 sacks of potatoes to get
them; 40 onions of even size, not, %
too large nor too small; pork £
chops from the large end, ex-jjjj*
actly one inch in thickness;
steak not less than one inch *{*
thick, never mind the cost on- £
ly give us the best.” Af- j*
ter enjoing a parade around the *j*
' town enjoying the hick sites, $♦
they returned to their yacht for £
' dinner. After dinner they took £
| in the show at the Coliseum in |
tipajamas and other do-dads—the £
party, not the Coliseum. The £
Norab pulled out for Juneau at £
night to enjoy their spirit of in- £
dependence in the capital city. £
* It is wagered along the water £
‘ front that neither the Depart- £
ment of Justice or the fron t
Unit—or the Customs depart- £
ment ever present their calling
cards to visiting yachts which £
pass through Prince Rupert. •£•
The yacht and party will re- |
turn to Petersburg after making £
: the trip to Skagway, and they £
will make a trip to Laconte Gla
icier. |

HEMLOCK SALES DOUBLE IN
STATES IN RECENT YEARS $
-X- |
West Coast hemlock is grow- $
mg popularity not only in thej|
domestic market, but also in for- J $
eign countries and its import- y
ance to the North Pacific Coast,
is revealed in figures compiled , ;j
and released by the lumber di- 1
vision of the Department of
Commerce. j
Hemlock lumber exports from; ;i
the United States have doubled
since 1923. Included in the ex- ;i
port customs statistics is East
ern Carolina, mountain and
West Coast, but the greater part ]
oi the shipments consisted of ]
West Coast hemlock, handled by ^
exporters under the name of Pa
cific hemlock, the department
says. Exports of hemlock in
creased from 168,000,000 feet or
7 per cent of total lumber ship
ments in 1923 to 354,344,000 feet
or 14 per cent of lumber exports
in 1929.
THE TIMBER STAND
The stand of Eastern hemlock
timber in the United States is
about 30.000,000 feet. That of
the West Coast is 150,000,000,000,
of wnich 60,000,000,000 feet is in
Washington; 25,000,000,000 in
Oregon and 63,000,000,000 feet in
Alaska. Alaska’s annual output
is 8,000,000 feet, while that in the
Pacific Northwest in 1928 was 1,
1550,000,000 feet furnishing 70
per cent of the total hemlock cut
in the United States.

ADVERTISING ALASKA
-x
Led P. Bolts, Jr., of the Bott
Advertising Agency, Little Rock,
Arkansas, well known for his vis
its to Alaska, and his work in his
own home section, has again giv
|en Alaska some splendid public
ity.
The June issue of THE SOV
EREIGN VISITOR, a fraternal
magazine of the Woodmen of the
World, published at Omaha, Neb.
has a ten-page center spread ar
; tide with illustrations under the
title of “Blazing a New Trail to
! the Top of the World.”
! " The Woodmen of the World
are planning o nopening offices
in Alaska within the near future.
Mr. Rott’s feeling on Alaska is
expressed by him in the article
which states:
“T heword ‘Alaska’ itself re
I
^X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X
sounds with allurement, charm,
mystery, adventure, romance,
nature, beauty, magnitude, to i
those who know or would know ,
Alaska. <
“It is an exquisite country, and <
one f**els that true lure or sp.ll. <
Its beauty is so fascinating—it.‘ <
charm is so entrancing. And the ]
people who are there—Ameri-j
cans all, from the United States ]
and the modernized natives—are |
fine and friendly folk, well versed <
in .every-thing-u-pto-date—it’s i
just like another ot' our States, 1
and those who will lead the way 1
ro popularize the W. VV. W. in 1
Alaska .will .have an .enviable ;
task, fortunate people that they i
will be.” :
This is not Mr Bott’s first ar
ticle on Alaska, as he has had11
considerable work published in
Nation’s Business, Popular Me- i
chanics, Log of Circumnavigators ;
Club, etc.
He has also done considerable
work for the Fairbanks Chamber •
of Commerce, designing and pre
paring in its entirety the beauti
ful gold covered booklet which
has created so much favorable j
national and international com-1
:nent. International Highway,
Alaska Guides, Inc., of Anchor
age, Hotel Alaska of Fairbanks,
Richardson Highway, Parsons
Hotel at Anchorage, Golden
North Hotel of Skagway, and
many others have been or are
being served by “that Fellow
Bott.”
He has made four trips to Alas
ka, and expects to return again.
He recently suggested that the ,
Alaska official flower be changed
I to the Fireweed.
BLAME THE BUREAU
Says an Alaska paper: “The
Wrangell mill was closed last
veek and the Ketchikan Lumber
ind Shingle Mill has also ceased
•utting. Lack of orders was as
:igned as the cause, but no reas
,n was given for the trop in busi
ness.
“The closure of the mills has
eft a nomber of the small log
ging outfits with a considerable
quantity of timber on their
lands.. Realizing the financial
oss that would be occasioned to
;hem if they had to carry the
ogs over for another season, the
h’orest Service has consented to
PERMIT the exportation of these
docks, it was announced.
“Negotiations have been open
ed with Powell River, B. C., and
t is believed that the affected
an clean up without suffering
iny losses. This DOES NOT
MEAN that the Forest Service's
aolicy of prohibiting the expos
ition of logs has been abandan
id, but it has merely been sus
pnded to reileve the existini sit
ation, it was explained.”
The above quotation states in
plain words that the Forest Bu
is discriminating and has dis
crimnated against the Alaska
loggers. Without authority of
any law the Forest Bureau over
tides the express wishes of Con
gress and FOREBIDS the ex
portation of logs to foreign mar
kets. All the while they discrim
inate against the Alaskan log
gers the Pacific Coast benefits
:y the discrimination. So much
50 that exports from that sect ion
ncreased 7 per cent in as many
^ears.
