ed the way to almost certain in
ternational difficulties. Certain
ly the State Department of th^
United States should intervene
in the matter with a view to
establishing clearly the rights of
American vessels in the waters
between the United States and
Alaska.
A Canadian View
In discussing the Supreme
Court decision, a Canadian at
torney has said: “The judgment I
of Mr. Justice Lamont reads lit3
a piece of special pleading, in
which he has accepted the ev
idence of the Crown witnesses
and ignored the evidence of the
men on the seized vessels. A1 o
both on the lav/ and on th:
facts the only judge who rend
ered a judgment has accept'd
thefindings of the judge in ad
miralty, so that for the purposes
for which the appeal was takei
the appeal has been useless, and
you have no further light as to
the law on the question of tin
application of the treaty.
“You will note that the court
has not dealt with the question
of the continuance of the Am
erican rights on the Pacific
Coast as they existed prior to
1818.
The matter really should go tj
the Privy Council, where a
question of such importance as
the application of an imperial
Treaty and the extinguishment
I of ancient rights of a friendty
nation would receive considera
tion from a court which is con
stantly giving consideration to
questions of international law.”

A party of mighty, and well
satisfied hunters, returned to
Washington last week after a
very successful outing cn Kodiak
Island, under the guidance of
the Kodiak Guides Association
of which they speak in high
praise. The party hunted in
the interior of the Island f l»m
May 1 to the 16th, and secured
six fine Kodiak grizzlies. The
largest was killed by Assistant
General Seth W. Richardson,
and measured 10 1-2 feet. U. S.
Senator Frederick Hale, ol
Maine, not only killed his quol'i
but also secured three live cubs,
which he brought eas* and pres
eniea io bne wasnuigiun zjuj.
They are five months old and
weigh about 12 pounds each.
Samuel Stern, of the Elks Na
tional Executive committee, also
killled two of the big bear, and
thinks that the hunters of the
east who have not taken ad
vantage of the fine hunting in
Alaska are uist too unfortunate
ioi anything.

the farewell ball that was given
to the Class of 1931 by the Clas*

cises. Mr. and Mrs. Felix Gray,
parents of the young Midship
man, as well as Miss Edle Hol
brook, one of the popular school
teachers of Douglas, were also
in attendance at the exercisea
and festivities. After gradua
tion the resignation of Midship
man Gray was accepted because
of a defect in one of his eyes,
received while engaged in a suc
cessful wrestling match last. |

that a photograph of the event
still hangs in Banfroft Hall.
After spending a week in Wash

the coast and soon after se;
sail from Seattle for Alaska.

Last Tuesday afternoon the
first public ceremony was held
on the magnificent new Mem j
orial bridge, in commemorating
the death of one of Alaska’s old
est pioneers, Capt. Conrad Siem.
who died in Washington on May
30. The deceased had made a
written request that his remains
be cremated and from the new
bridge thrown to the waters of
the Potrmac river. His wishes
were carried out and in the
pi esence of a few Alaskans and
other personal friends the Dele- j
gate from Alaska, Judge Wick-,
o’.sham paid a fitting tribute <o.
the sturdy character and un '
selfish work of the man who
had done much for his adopted
land in its early days. Early in
life Capt. Siem, emigrated fro.M
Germanv and became a natur
alized American citizen in San
Francisco. In the early part of,
1890 he located as the manag -
ing owner of a trading post at
Point Barrow, the extreme
northerly part of Alaska, and
first conceived the idea of ex
porting reindeer from Siberia,
which was later carried out by
Rev. Sheldon Jackson, general
agent of the Bureau of Educa
tion. Capt. Siem was a promin -
ent character during the early j
days of the Nome developmen1,
and lived in various sections of
the territory until about fifteen!
years ago, when he came tn(
Washington and died here at
the age of 71 years. He leave-!
a nephew in this country.

The Associated Fishermen of
Alaska, by President A. H. Brad
ford, have been concerned abou
the attitude of *he Bureau of;
Fisheries in connection with j
their plan of operation for uliej
coming season. They requested!
that the Delegate take the mat- j
ter up with Commissioner O - j
Malley, which was done and as;
a result a wire reading as fol
lows was sent to President Braa-,
lord: “Have had conference wru
Commissioner of Fisheries ana
he states that i f you are going j
to employ white and native re; I
idents of Nushagak or Bristol
Bay as fishermen or to work in
canneries it will meet with his
hearty approval He is opposed
to going outside the district and j
bringing in numbers of people j
who have never been in Bristol1
Bay before, as he considers them
in the same class as people |
brought ..from the states. He is
emphatic, .however, that all A!-|
sskan whites and natives should
be given employment.”

The Juneau Guides of South
eastern Alaska writes a letter
opposing the suggestion of Ste
wart Edward White that Chi
chagoff Island, north of Sitka,
be declared a National Park ana
Game Reserve. It is contended
that Chichagoff is not only a
splendid brown bear section buo
Is highly mineralized with pro
ducing mines, has numerous |
canneries and sites, great lum
ber possibilities and that the
residents of Southeastern Alas
ka, sportsmen and businessmen,
do not want to see it turned in
to a reservation, particularly as
there is Glacier Bay National
Monument about 20 miles from
Chichagoff Island.

William Roberts, who has 320
acres of good homestead land
across the Matanuska river, and
160 acres close to Palmer, feels
that he is getting pretty age i
and wants his nephew, William
T. Hughes, to come over from
Walps and help him to care for
the property. But when the1
young man applied for a pa-;- j
port at Liverpool he was refused \
because of failure tc give sub-!
stantiated evidence of his in-1
Mention. The matter was referred
;o the Delegate, who took it up
vith the State Department, and
t is expected that soon William
;v*ill be crossing the Atlantic.
