During the last week of Jan
uary and the fore part of Feb
ruary the Sitka Camp of the
Alaska Native Brotherhood en
tertained about seventy visiting
brothers from Hoonah and An
goon, including their basketball
teams. The visitors were taken
into the several homes and three
times daily was the innner man
taken care of in the A. N. B.
grillroom by a well-chosen com
mittee.
In line with its policy to de
velop four-square men, the or
ganization has encouraged
sports—particularly basketball
and the results were obvious.
Good sportsmensliip was evident
at all times and the will to fight
even though defeated is indica
tive of the spirit of the organi
zation. Hoonah, outplayed and
defeated nine times up, never
faltered nor offered any alibi,
but they gave their best at all
times.
During their stay, the Broth
ers made clear that basketball
was not all they came for, as was
expressed by one visitor: “We
came to see, hear and learn
what might be in Camp No. 1
that we might add to our Campj
and membership. We know all
the good things we learn here
will out-last any honor which
we might gain in any physical
contest.” So is pictured the
spirit of the Brotherhood and
its motivating power in meetings
encouraged by the annual con
ventions.
Mr. Hufiesen, Seattle contrac
tor and seven carpenters arrived

completed the plant will have a

crusher and chute are to be in-!
stalled on the dock capable of(
delivering 30 tons of crushed (
ice per hour to boats. Cost of re-!
constructions estimated at $30,

an increase ift shipments oi
fresh, frozen and canned fish
over the previous year, are en
couraging figures noted in the
i annual compilation of the com
merce of Alaska for 1931 as
made by this Custom’s office and
the Department of Commerce at
Washington.
The total shipments of domes
tic gold and silver for the past
year amounted to $9,018,378; or
an increase of $1,206,335 over
shipments for 1930. Shipments
from the First Division of do
mestic gold and silver amounted
to $4,000,819, or an increase of
i $759,504. Third Division ship
ments amounted to $677,820; or
an increase of $487,408. Fourth
Division shipments amounted to
$3,282, 051, or an increase of
5.47,265. The only decrease in
.shipments was noted from the
Second Division where total
shipments were made amount
ing to $1,057,688, which was a
decrease of $118,292.
Heavy losses are shown in both
pounds and value of copper ore
shipments during the past year.
Total shipments amounted to
22,055,271 pounds valued at $2,
080,338. This is a decrease of
15,719,698 pounds and $3,260,679
in value from the corresponding
period in 1930. A large per-cent
(f the decrease in value may be
attributed directly to the lower
average price of copper in 1931
than in 1930. The low price also
acted to restrict operations in
copper production. The average
selling price of copper during
the year, as computed by toe
Bureau of Mines in Washington,
was 8.3 cents, against 13 cents
in 1930. Loss in tonnage was also
due to the closing of the copper
mine at Latouche which had
been in operation for a number
of years.
Increases are noted in the
shipments of fresh and frozen
halibut and salmon, also in can
ned salmon. Shipments of fresh
raid frozen halibut amounted to
13,634,083 pounds at a value of
$1,462,778, which represents an
increase of 2,053,733 pounds and
$60,509 in value. Shipment of
fiesh and frozen salmon a
mounted to 8,060,972 pounds at
a value of $838,568, or an in
crease of 1,068,178 pounds and
$27,640 in value. Total ship
ments of canned salmon a
mounted to 267,293,021 pounds
valued at $31,161,504, fhich was
an increase of 28,084,451 pounds
and an increase of $1,077,176 in
value. Total shipments of fish
and fish products for 1931 a
mounted to $36,322,861, or with
in $396,568 of the total ship
ments for 1930. The slight de
crease was caused principally in
'he falling off of shipments of
fish fertilizer, meal and oil.
The total commerce of Alaska
for the past year amounted to
$76,125,410. Of this total amount
cf trade, $52,850,660 represents
merchandise, gold and silver
shipped from Alaska to the
United States and foreign coun
tries; while $23,274,750 repre
sents the value of shipments to
Alaska during the same period.
The balance of trade in favor of
Alaska for the year 1931 a
mounts to $29,575,910.

All ALASKA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
-x
The last legislature appropri
ated $5,000 for the All-Alaska i
Chamber of Commerce, provided
the organization reached a total
of five hundred paid-up mem
bers. The officers of the Cham
ber recently asked for $1,000 of j
the amount stating that its op- ;
orating dues from member j
chambers was depleted. The
Governor agreed to sanction a
warrant for $250.
The functions of the chamber
since its creation has been, says
the Seward Gateway, “along the
line of the League of Nations.
It takes up political and semi-,
political questions, protests on
rules issued from Washington—;
provided all the remaining
chambers have sanctioned pro -
tests or approval.”
Its president, Senator Allen
Shattuck was used recently to
protest with the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries
in Congress, against the bill in-f
troduced by Delegate Wicker
wwwwwvvmvvvvvivvuv «
sham providing against the
“wanton waste and destruction
jf salmon and other food fish.”
We hold that the organization
is without power to voice any
sentiment over the protest of its
chamber members. That Presi
dent Senator Shattuck had no
light to voice objections to the
bill in view of the fact that the
Petersburg, Wrangell and Ker
chinan Chambers had expressed
end re-afirmed their ideas on
this subject before congress, if
the direction of a few Juneau
members is going to over-ride
the will of the majority, it is
fime that the organization was
sent to kingdom come.
The question also is asked:
Has the All-Alaska Chamber of
Commerce compiled with the re
quirements of the enabling act
! which provides the money to its
j expenditure—full quota of pari
up membership? If not, by what
I a uthority has the governor the
power to sanction any issuance
of warrants on the treasury for
any sum of money?

“Well, I want a second hand

She needs that new hat and

fifteen or twenty dollars! Sure,
there’s a depression—a little pri
vate one right in your own head
— and it depresses more and
more every time you deny your
selves something you need.
Sure, money’s scarce and it takes
plain, downright courage to go
and spend it. But courage is
needed today as never before.
Just think—if everyone, who
possibly could, would get up
enough nerve to start spending
normally, there’d be no depres
