HAINES
After a lingering illness cover-'
mg a year, Rose Brown, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. James W.|
Brown, passed away in her homej
(.n the evening of 23rd. Rose
was 6 years old and during the
Haines Convention of the Native
Brotherhood, was the little gir1'
that, brought in the A. N. B. ban
ner for presentation. Since
both of her parents were good
standing members of the loca1
Brotherhood and Sisterhoor
Camps she was buried in the
local A. N. B. and A. N. S. Ceme
tery. The funeral was held on the
25th. She was honored as a re
gular member by the Sisterhooi
Camp. Death was due to leakage
of the heart which could not be
remedied by any of the promi
nent doctors in southeastern
Alaska as Mrs. Brown had con
sulted them about Rose but at
in vain. The best that could be
done for her was to give her reel
and that she received up to he:
death.

The Open Forum
“WHAT l KNOW”
By “Billy the Logger.”
Recently “Henrv Aitch” told
as through your good paper
what he 11;'n1 s. ‘Let me tel1
Henry Aitch “y rivit I Know.”
What in aitch does he mean j
when he says “there is no timber’j
for the small operator and unless j
they connect with the small
mills which operate intermit
tently “they had better dig
clams.” Right now, I can go back
over areas I logged back in the
early !900’s and get out from
three to five million feet of logs
with a decent logging machine
or better yet, with a caterpillar
tractor, and make a good living.;
When I logged, the mill men:
threw out any log that did. not
show enough solid timebr to cut
at a profit—that was my profit
for I sold that cull, lotten timber
to the woodmen and we a'l made
)oney.
Remember, at that time the
mills paid us five to six dollars
per thousand feet for “first
class” timber. Their selling price
to the market was in proportion
and the market got on an aver
age, a better grade of lumber
than the mills turn out to lay.
Still we all made money.
But the Forest Department
came along and forced us to fool
around cutting limbs on sticks
up to a ten inch top and take it
from me, there is much waste
effort in lopping off limbs on
99i/> per cent of Alaska spruce
in oi*der to get a ten inch ton: I
had to take out hemlock when
the mills had no use for hemlock
at any price; I could not take
out yellow cedar unless I took
all the “merchantable” spruce
and hemlock when my orders
ealled for yellow cedar only; I
had to take out “conky, check
ed, rotten, knotty logs” even if
they were 50 per cent rotter, be
cause the Forest Department
agents declared that we could
not waste ‘merchantable timber.’
I saw the handwriting on the
wall. I saw that I was facing
financial ruin and bankruptcy,
would perhaps lose my home and
all my little accumulations if I
continued to operate under the
direction of the Forest Bureau
agents. I quit while I was ahead.
of the game; I quit owing no
money to any business house for
my logging operations. I was
not forced, like the McDonald
Bros, were on Vanks Island to
leave the merchants and loggers
holding the sack for over thirty
thousand dollars; like Gordon
McDonald, whose rafts were just
sold by marshal’s sale at Wran
gell and whose equipment wa
taken up by creditors to satisfy
judgement for debts incurred b
his operations; nor was I forced
to take stock in the Juneau and
Ketchikan mills in order to pro
tect their indebtedness to me, a:
they have with Sawyer-McKa:
and Sawyer-Reynolds; and dur
ing those days, the mills never
for a moment thought of “float
ing bends” or selling stock to be
able to continue to operate.
Right now. if there was a mar
ket for average good timber, at
.east a hundred men could be
employed with jacks and o^hei
small equipment, getting out
timber. I have cruised along the
shores, hunted along the beachei
and back as far as the ordinary
mall gear needs go, and I statp
light here and now that Henry
Aitch does not know one thing
about what the logger can do
these days. Right between here
•and Wrangell, today with the
right equipment and two other
men, I can take out a million
feet of timber in short order,
which any mill would be willing
to buy. And what is true of this
much logged section, is also true,
of other sections.
But let us get down to some
specific debatable question. Let
Henry Aitch defend the regula
tion of the Forest Department
which forbids exporting of tim
ber other than that which has
been cut in our mills. Or let him
defend, if he can, the rule which
declares a “merchantable tim
ber is any log that is at least 50
per cent sound and ten inches at
the small end.” Or let him defend
the policy which says that I
must take out hemlock timbei
along with spruce when there
is absolutely no market for hem
lock, or that the principle of
exporting timber is wrong.
Then when he justifies this
policy, perhaps he will convince
me that the Forest Department
g building up the lumber and
logging industry of Alaska—
perhaps.

MILKER GETS KAYOED
Jack Horsfall, Toledo, Oregon
high school student, decided to
stop his cow switching her tail
while he milked her. He tied a
brick to her tail. She switched
lhe tail anyhow and the brick
struck Horsfall behind the ear.
He fell unconscious. When he re
covered, he untied the brick. The
brick tied to the tail is the cause
of this short tale.
