Governor George A. Parks
gave William Mueller, Boy Scout
of El Paso, Texas. Alaska “Skoo
kum Papers.” “Skookum Papers”
Vo the Alaska Native meant so
much authority to hold title to
waters or lands—meaning just
nothing. The skookum papers to
the Boy Scout might be better
than the old “skookum papers.”

Frank D. Price, deputy mar
shal in charge of the gasboat

Klawock people did not bother
to return to town for Independ
ence Day Celebration. They vi
sioned many eatless days next
winter and felt that it were bet
ter to remain on the fishing
grounds or in the hills than to
waste their sustenance on any
kind of celebration.

pany has been buying king
salmon from the trollers but
have now ceased canning that
salmon and are putting up the
other kinds. Cent and a half per
j humpback salmon and buy your

Nobody expects to make any
money fishing this summer but
they hope to be able to draw
enough food from the stores to
get by for the summer. Wrangell
canneries are offering two cents
per salmon. Ketchikan does not
want any kind of salmon from
the. seiners except sockeyes and
they only pay ten cents per
sockeye salmon. Sockeye open
ing price indicated by P. E.
Harris Company, Hawk Inlet,
will be $1.50 per dozen or six
dollars per case and pinks will
open at 75 cents per dozen. In
dependent canners expect that
they will have to go under those
figures to be able to get rid of
their packs this fall.

BIG ARTILLERY
FIRED IN WASHINGTON
The heavy guns of the next
national campaign are sounding
at this early date with vice
president nominee Garner,
Speaker of the House pointing
his artillery at President Hoov
er’s attitude towards the Garner
Relief Bill.
On the 7th, the House passed
the two billion one hundred
million dollar relief measure
which President Hoover has in
dicated that he will veto be
cause of the clause for loans to
private individuals. The bill
before the Senate and it is ex
pected to be passed in that body.
Garner charged on the floor of
the House that President Hoov
Br desired “a select clientele” to
reap the benefits of the project
sd three billion five hundred
million dollar Reconstruction
Finance Corporation loan fund.
Ihe President in a formal state
ment declared that he did not
propose to ‘‘further increase un
employment by such a disastr
eus action as proposed through
jeopardizing the whole credit cf
the Government and laying our
people open to every kind of in
justice and loss. Both the Garn
Br and Wagner bills contain a
clause which provides $300,000,
000 fund for direct relief of the
destitute. Chicago’s Charles
Dawes, former vice president
under President Coolidge, and
president of a large Chicago
bank now recently resigned
from the Reconstruction Finance
Board after having secured a
lean of $80,000,000 for his banks
cvhich were said to be tottering
ivlth the wrecked financial
structure of the east.
The bill was vetoed and pass
ed over the veto by the House
svith a good lead.

DIVIDENTS REDUCED
TO KEEP ADVERTISING
-x
Rather than curtail national
advertising expenditures, a
mounting to more than $1,000,000
a month, Colgate-Palmolive-Pect
Company reduced the annual
dividend basis on the common
stock to $1 a share from $2.50.
Directors declared a quarterly
dividend of 25 cents a share.
Charles S. Dewey, vice-presi
dent in charge of finance, said

“even at a sacrifice in profits

tions. Convinced that it was he:
