toenjoin the Treasurer from
making this payment. The Fed
* eral Court in the First Division
laid it was all right, but the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals said it
■ was all*wrong and required "that
the money be returned to ’the
treasury. And incidentally Ju
neau was told that there was a
Delegate to Congress who was
in Washington to look after
Alaska legislation!
That occurred more than five
years ago but Dr.—yea—Judge
-Bunnell ignored the fact that
the expense of his lobbying at
Juneau and Washington is also
, illegally paid, not to speak of
the many months, or years, of
time that he wastes from useful
. occupation. And he must always t
go himself, for he won't permit
any of his Trustees to enjoy one
of these junketing trips. But"
there must, some day, come an
end to all these soft' snaps.

Alexander F. Guthrie, deacon
of the Episcopal Church of Ket
chikan arrived on the mailboat
to visit his two daughters in the

here he gave a very interesting
address to the pupils on Sunday
morning.
The Sitka Camp is growing in

the Camp; at the last meeting,
a joint meeting with the A. N. S.,
two men and three women were
received into the organizations.
The spirit of the Camps has been
The Brotherhood staged an
rid custum dance in the Hall.
Modern or civilized dances are
getting stale and not less harm
ful than the old Indian dances,
so the change of program. It is
hoped that a neat sum will be
cleared from the affair.
Ralph Young’s return has fill
ed a vacancy that none other
can fill. The Young People’s C.

the school and has made many
friends among pupils and facul

But all hope that the change
will do her good. Though warn
ed by early symptoms, and in
spite of every care by the facul
ty, the disease has taken a hold
on her that will mean only a
lon£, hard fight to break away
from.
February was a nasty month
for weather and with consider
able sickness in town. Snow
enough on the ground all the
time to make slushy travelling,
good since the New Year.
The Once Was or Use-to-beans
played a basketball game in the
A. N. B. Hall. It was better than
a three-ring circus. William
Williams, first pupil in the old
Industrial School (now Sheldon
Jackson School) more than for
ty years ago and Willie was no
youngster then. In spite of age
and beauty, he led his team to
victory by a large score. David
Young, Rudolph Walton, Morris
White and Shorty Williams, all
more or less young, fifty years
| ago, gave plenty of life and pep
l to the game.
The Indian Dance, given by
the Sitka Camps for benefit of
[the Hall, was very interesting
and carried to a succesful con
clusion. Many towns people be
dsides Villagers, were present.
Mrs. Ray James, President of the

fourteen brothers donned trav

and took him to Haines on a sled
a distance of 21 miles. The trip
was one that taxed the strength
and nerves of every man, but it
was made. The Camp has pe
titioned for a nruse but the Bu
reau seems to give scant heed to
our petitions. We wonder, must
we die like sheep in a storm
with a beneficent government
indifferent to our dire need?
We want a nurse at Klukwan
at least during the winter
months when traffic between
Haines and Klukwan is next to
impossible.

Regarding the report of a new
sawmill at Angoon—“There ain’t
no such animal,” nor even heard
of it. No, not in this neck of the
woods. We plead ignorance of
such a thing in our midst as yet.
But since The ALASKAN says to
“be built” then perchance the
Timberman (Portland) may be
right. The only sawmill we can
boast of is the Mayor’s drag saw.
And begorrah. the mayor and
his saw are pretty busy. #
Mr. Wilson, our teacher has
joined Angoon Camp No. 7 of the
A. N. B. I have wondered why?
Of course, we are always glad to
accept some of our white bro
thers as honorary or associate
members, if they really and truly
mean it, and not as a means to
protect their jobs nor to over
look their faults. Nuff sed—

SALAK¥, NOT SfcKVlCi!;, AS
IS JOHN'S AIM
For ten years past, Attorney
General John Rustgard received
a very substantial “hand-out”
from the Territorial treasury,
and largely for doing those
things that he now says stirs up
“antagonism against industrial'
institutions.” This type of citi
zen he now says in his platform
should be eliminated from the
public life of the Territory.” And
John is willing to have himself
eliminated if the voters will only
send him to Washington as De
legate to Congress, and double
his present salary. Ever since
he has been in public office,
John has been seeking higher
salary and rendering less real
service each year.
