I appeal to all Liberal Alaskans to support
my candidacy as a direct expression of opposition
to the continued mis - ruling of Alaska through a
$ combination ol politicians and FEDERAL BUREAUS
i My record at the Legislature is my recommendation
I
^ diminution of ducks and it was
recommended that the season
| again be restricted to twc
^ months. Paul G. Redington,
|; Chief of the Biological Survey,
| gave a lengthy dissertation on
the subject and expressed the
| view that possibly it would suf
\ j flee this year if the season were
\ fixed at two months. It is ex
£ pected that whatever the cur
| tailment of the shooting season
there will be two periods in
y Alaska, as in the Southeastern
section the birds do not appear
• until a couple of weeks later
than they do in the northern
section.

He is also recommended for ap

INTERIOR DEPT.
APPROPRIATION
-x—
When the Interior Department
appropriation bill passed the
House is carried an appropria
tion of $50,446,432 which the
Senate ordered its Appropria
tion committee to cut 10 per
cent, with the result that a re
duction of $5,047,760 was sub
mitted. Alaska is affected to the
extent of $97,500, as follows:
Operation of Alaska Railroad,
$50,000; Education of Natives,
$40,000; Geological Survey, $?,
500.

SLASHING APPROPRIATIONS
-x
The slashing of Departmenl
estimates continues. The Wai
appropriation bill is now bein§
considered by the House Appro
priations committee througl
sub-committees, and with in
structions “to cut to the bone.’
A member of the committee in
forms Delegate Wickersham tha
many appropriations are bein*
cut more than he would like t(
see, but that it is inevitable a
this time. He adds that it h
I doubtful that the Alaska Roac
Commission will be allowed more
than $500,000, although $650,
000 was stipulated by the budget

F AVORABLE REPORT
WELCH BILL

A favorable report has been
made by the Committee on Fish
eries on what is known as the
Welch bill, which requires that
floating canneries in Alaska
must indicate by December in
which waters they will operate
the following season. A minority
report is being submitted and an
effort will be made to defeat the
bill on the floor of the House.

REPORT
FAIRBANKS DISTRICT
-x
A manuscript report on the
Fairbanks district, by James M.
Hill, has just been issued by the
U. S. Geological Survey. This is
one of the reports resulting from
the special study of mineral re
sources in the area tributary to
the Alaska Railroad that was
carried on during the field sea
son of 1931. The Fairbanks dis
trict has produced nearly $80,
000,000 from placer deposits in
the years 1904 to 1930. It is es
timated that dredges or other
mechanical devices, reworking
the same streams and others
that could not be worked by
hand methods, may produce an
even greater amount during the
next 25 years. It is believed that
the lode gold deposits, which
produced nearly $2,000,000 from
1910 to 1930, can produce in the
next 25 years, under adequate
financial support and skilled
technical and administrative di
rection, an amount of gold that
will compare favorably with that
so far yielded by the placer
deposits.
Platform His Record
-x
CASH COLE
-x
Cash Cole, present Auditor is
asking the electorate to elect
him once again. The opposition
to his renomination comes from
, the crowd of federalists who
have long ruled the Territory.
He declares: “My record is my
platform.” And a good platform,
sincere and consistent, it has
been. Those who know his re
cord do not worry as to wheth
er he is representing the people
or not—they know that he IS re
presenting the people. Which is
all the endorsement that any
candidate could ask for.
He is opposed by Mr. Lucas
and Mr. Charles. All due credit
to those men—they have ad
vanced no good reason why they
should be nominated in place of
Mr. Cole. Until they do, they are
not worth a second thought by
the electors.

Legislative Ticket
-x
On the Democratic legislative
ticket are several men—twc
distinct tickets from Juneau
and Ketchikan. Joseph Barano
vich, J. W. Kehoe, F. J. Peratro
vich and J. K. Green being th*
Ketchikan nominees. All these
men are pledged to the support
of the fight to retain the pri
mary election law. On the other -
hand, the candidates named or
the Juneau ticket in the mair
are opposed to retention of the
primary law.
Those men who desire thal
the voice of the people shall ce
heard should receive the support
cf every voter, it bespeaks ig
norance of even the primer ol
politics to nominate men whc
are pledged to take political ac
tion from the people by abolish
ment of the primary law in or
der that the political gang car
gather in a backroom where thej
trade off political support anc
principles at the expense of the
public.
KETCHIKAN
-X
The returned delegates from
Hydaburg, Annual Convention of
the Christian Endeavor and
Presbytery, report a wonderful
and satisfactory convention.
Several local canneries are
now getting ready for summer
operations. Superintendents ant’
crews from the south are here
and they all report curtailed
operations this year.
Most of the trolling fleet has
left for the fishing grounds.
Price of mildcure kings are
down to around 8 cents a pound.
This is a very low price for this
(time of the season and it is ex
pected that the price will run
clown as low as two cents per
pound—when the Cape Flattery,
Columbia River—West Coast
Alaska operations all get under
full sway.
The gasboat “Lincoln,” Capt.
Robert Ridley with his family
returned home after a ten-day
trading trip on the Nass River,
B. C. They brought home a
large supply of “oolichan oil,”
and smoked oolichan. The peo
ple are loading up for winter
supply of food.
The local camp of the Alaska
Native Brotherhood is again
making an appeal to Dr. F. 3.
Fellowes, Medical Director in
Charge Public Health Service,
Indian Department, for medical
service in Ketchikan. The situa
tion is worse than in the history
of these people. No money, no
medical service. If an epidemic
comes along these people will I
die like rats—thanks to the
economic and political system
which forbid these people earn
ing a living from the fisheries
i industry.
Primary election is right cn
our heels. Much interest and ex
citement. Lots of fault finding,
lots of heated arguments as to |
the worth of various candidates,
character and principles or lack
of principles. As good citizens it
i3 tha duty of every person to
vote on Tuesday, April 26th. We
will do our duty. By the way,
Dimond sentiment is not strong
down this way—Grigsby and
Ziegler will do the battle.

IS
WASHINGTON
The Defender of his Country, the Founder of Liberty,
The Friend of Man.
History and Tradition are explored in vain
For a parallel to his Character.
In the Annals of modern Greatness,
He stands alone,
And the noblest Names of Antiquity
Lose their Lustre in his Presence.
Born the Benefactor of Mankind,
He United All the Qualities necessary
To an Illustrious Career.
Nature made him Great,
He made himself Virtuous.
Called by his Country to the Defence of her Liberties,
He triumphantly vindicated the Rights of Humanity,
And on the Pillars of National Independence
Laid the Foundations of a Great Republic.
Twice invested with Supreme Magistracy
By the Unanimous Voice of a Free People,
He surpassed in the Cabinet
The Glories of the Field,
And, voluntarily resigning the Sceptre and the Sword
Retired to the Shades of Private Life.
A Spectacle so new and so sublime
Was contemplated with the profoundest Admiration;
And the Name of WASHINGTON,
Adding new Lustre to Humanity,
Resounded to the remotest Regions of the Earth.
Magnanimous in Youth,
Glorious through Life,
Great in Death,
He lived the Ornament of the Eighteenth Century,
His highest Ambition the Happiness of Mankind,
His noblest Victory the Conquest of himself,
Bequeathing to Posterity the Inheritance of his Fame,
And building his Monument in the Hearts of his Countrymen,
He died regretted by a mourning World.
*The author of this composition is not known. It has
been transcribed from a manuscript copy, written on the
back of a picture-frame, in which is set a miniature like
ness of Washington, and which hangs in one oF the rooms
of the mansion at Mount Vernon, having been left there
some time after Washington’s death.
