Divisional Notes

Game fur catches are reported
as being exceedingly poor. De
pletion of the fur game and the
cold, and strong north winds are
given as reasons for the light
catches.
A number of people are out
logging for the local sawmill. A
more modern mill is planned and
will be constructed in the near
future.
Mrs. George Johnson and Sam

Helen James, nine-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray
James died on the 10th of this
month. She took ill with the
flu last November and it turn
ed tubercular which took her.
She realized that her time to
leave this earth was drawing
near and was not one bit afraid.
Two days before her death she
told her parents that her Lord
was waiting for her. She asked
that the 23rd Psalm be read for
her and then she sang three of
her favorite songs, two of which
were sung at her funeral. Rev.
Webster had charge of the ser
vices and Mr. William Wells and
the faculty of the Sheldon Jack
son School arranged for her
funeral. The students of the
school were present in a body as
a last respect to their school and
playmate. Members of the Al
aska Native Brotherhood were
pall bearers and the Sisterhood
prepared a supper for the be
reaved family in the home of Mr.
Louis Shotridge. Many were
the friends of Helen who gave
words of comfort and cheer to
the family.
Mrs. James is president of the
Sisterhood. Her daughter was

tion.

The Brotherhood and Sister
nood staged an old custom dance
in the A. N. B. Hall, here and
later put on another dance in
the Red Men’s Hall, Ketchikan.
Two of the dances in particular
| were of great interest, the Peace
Dance (Goo-wa-kahn) and the
| other, “Spirit Dance” (Yake
I woo-tee) dance. Charles W.
Brown interpreted the dances
i for the audience at Ketchikan,
j A neat sum of money was re
jalized from the dances.

i DELAGATE EXPOSES FISHERY
MONOPOLY
That every state in the Union
AND EVERY TERRITORY EX
CEPT ALASKA handles its own
fisheries. Even the Territory of
Hawaii handles its own fisheries
and in addition to that when
their organic act was passed,
I they were given the right to de
clare any privately owned fish
eries free (paying for them, of
course).
The Commissioner of Fisheries
1 cannot go against the will of the
interests that created him.
per cent in 1929, proving con
clusively by the Bureau’s own
statistics that fishing privileges
have been taken from resident
Alaska citizens who would build
homes and develop the territory
and given gratis to citizens of
other commonwealths—an in
dustry that produces thirty-five
to fifty million dollars in fish
per year but which produces in
taxes under the present system
only about $500,000.
That during the past ten years
Southeastern Alaska has pro
duced a yearly average of 2,373,
948 cases of salmon with 2,793
men, while British Columbia,
without traps has produced 1,
470,102 cases with 9,322 men. In
other words, if the Alaska pack
had been put up at the same
rate per man as in British Co
lumbia, it would have required
over 15,000 men instead of less
than 2,800 men, yet the fish
were packed largely by the same
companies, and sold in the same
markets at the same prices.
(This represents a difference of
more than 12,000 fishermen).
It is better for the Bureau of
Fisheries to cure its own ills
THAN TO HAVE THEM CURED
FOR THEM.
