MAKE IT LAWFUL
Although it is probable that no
action has ever been taken a
gainst them it appears that
every fur rancher is a law
breaker when he catches salmon
out of season to feed his foxes
or mink. And although his
charges have a natural right to
live off the country, the fur
laiser is a technical violator of
the fishing regulations and he
resents this since he does not.
like to feel himself in the sha
dow of the law.
Some Kenai Lake fur farmers
have carefully figured it out and
find that it only requires about
half a pound of salmon per day
per fox for the fish ration or a
quarter of a pound of salmon
per day per mink, and that all
the pen stock in the Territory
would not aggregate any parti
cular drain on the riches of the
sea.
Therefore, representatives of
the fur farmers waited upon Re
presentative-Elect Cal M. Brosi
us just before his departure for
j The Outside and thence to the
legislature asking that the Fish
'bureau so amend its regulations
as to make the catching of fish
for fur animal feeding lawful
at all times. It appears that this
is only right and proper and it
is understood that Mr. Brosius
promised to do all he could to
see that the matter be set right.

RAW FUR SITUATION
-x
Raw furs have not made
much change one way or an
other in the past month. A slight
advance has taken place in
badger, grey fox, muskrat,
choice wolf and fine dark mink.
Lynx cat, oppossum, racoon and
skunk are lower. Fine heavy
coon from Northern sections and
best square handled full furred
coon and of good color are in de
mand. White and brown weasel,
civet cat, ring tail and otter no
change—good seasonable, well
furred peLts are best sellers.
Prices are materially lower
than last year. Not only the fur

trade, but all other lines of
business the world over are so
unsatisfactory that no kind of
merchandise whatever can now
be bought or sold except at far
lower prices than have prevailed
for some years past.
There is sure to be a recovery
in some degree sooner or later,
but how long it will take for
uch improvement to develop is
the biggest riddle now facing
the business world. It is guess
work and your guess is as good
as ours.

CANCEL THOSE WAR DEBTS
-x
The financial powers that be
in Europe are still agitating can
cellation by the United States
of war debts owed her by Europ
ean World War Allies. Says one
of the high financiers of Europe:
“The gain to the United States
as a great exporting country
would be immense through hav
ing solvent customers and thru
an increase of their purchasing
power. Looking at it as a purely
business proposition there can be
no doubt that it would pay.”
As a matter of fact the United
States has cancelled about all of
the debts incurred prior to and
during the World War. But she
is insisting that those loans
mode European nations after the
World War should be paid.
Instead of cancelling these
European war loans they should
be so funded as to allow com
pensation payment to the meni
who made Europe safe from
Germany.

WOULD DIE A FREE MAN
Nathaniel Palmer, 58-year-old
hermit of Colville, Washington
is in such a poor way financially
and in health that his friends
would have him taken to the
poor farm. Gravely ill, lying on
a bed of rags with a feather
mattress over him, he told the
county authorities that he would
rather be left alone in his ca
bin to die than be removed to
the poor farm.
The spark of independence of
the colonials of 1778 still exists

States.

SEND HIM TO JUNEAU

Recently Fremont Willis of

18 MEN TO 1 JOB

“Labor” a national weekly
publication published by the
Federated Brotherhood of En
gineers, etc., gives the following
story:
“Indicating in a striking man
ner how serious and widespread
the unemployment situation is
at present in Chicago, 18,000
men have applied for 1,000 jobs
as underground construction
workers. The job is a municipal
operation and wage rates are on
a union basis, ranging from $5.40
to $10.80 a day, according to the
kind of work done.”

STATE INSURANCE ON
AUTOS FAVORED
Representative Brown, Spo
kane, recently introduced in the
house a compulsory automobile
liability insurance bill.
The measure was identical
with the one introduced in the
senate, providing for compulsory
insurance, to be administered by
the state.

NOT SURPRISING
“A drunken pow-wow” was
the term applied by Senator
Staples of Multonomah County,
Oregon, recently when he oppos
ed a resolution providing ap
pointment of an Oregon com
mittee to meet with a Washing
ton Committee to confer on joint
Cblumbia River fishing legisla
tion. The resolution carried de
spite Staples protests.
If that description had been
applied to the canners conven
tion held each year it would not
be surprising. But that is a part
of the convention that is never
published by the “paper which
publishes all the news all the
time.”

UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES
William Green, president of
the American Federation of La
bor, has stated that 5,700,000
wag? earners were idle early in
January as compared with 5,
500,000 in December. The figures
did not include farm labor or
office workers, he said.
At the same time, the head of
the Federation of Labor warned
against employers dropping
completely wage earners who
have been given p&rt-time em
ployment.
He said the unemployment in
crease was attributable largely
to complete layoffs instead of
part time work.
This decrease in part-time
work and increase of unemploy
ment sounds a warning to the
American business world,” stat
ed Mr. Green. “When a man
has part-time work, he at least
has credit and money for bread,
lie has a job that is about the
most important thing in the
world for a wage earner.”

HYDABURG
Much is said about the air
plane service between the West
Coast and Ketchikan. A mighty
nice thing when it can be gotten
and not so good when life and
death hangs in the balance and
fog and storms prevent the
mercy ships coming from Ket
chikan.
Chris Sewall of Craig becom
ing very ill, he was put aboard
the gasboat “Audrey” which im
mediately started for Ketchikan
but she became stormbound at
Cape Chacon for three days. An
SOS call was put in to Ketchikan
and a plane went out searching
for the Audrey and found her at
Hydaburg. They picked up Se
wall but too late to save his life.
The other day a wire was sent
to Ketchikan urging a plane to
make a rush trip to Klawock
as a mother in a maternity was
nigh unto death. Fog held up
the plane so that it was unable
to land at Klawock.
However good the airplane
service may be, the need of a
road between Klawock and Ka
saan cannot be denied. What is
[the few dollars of expense to
' build it compared with the value
of the lives it will be possible to
save when air service in unable
1 to make connection between the
two towns. The Whole West
Coast is united in this request
for a road between Klawock and
Kasaan.
