GREAT MENAGE
VALDEZ, Oct. 13.—Dr. L. H.
French, who has been a resident of
the Bristol bay country for several
years, brought up the subject of the
terrible conditions now existing there
on account of the large number of
semi-wild dogs which run at large
over the country.
Not only are they a detriment to
the country in preventing the keeping
of more useful animals, but they are a
menace to the lives of women and
children.
Dr. French conducts a government
hospital for natives at Kanakanak and
states that he has treated a large
number of cases of severe injuries
caused by the wolf-like teeth of the
savage and vicious half-starved dogs
of that country.
Merely as an illustration the follow
ing case was described:
During the past winter at the Gogi
ung government school one of the pu
pils, a little native boy aged eight
years, left the schoolroom for a mo
ment and just as he stepped down
from the steps at the other door he
was attacked by a band of dogs and
almost fatally injured.
A man who happened to be near by,
seeing a bunch of dogs engaged in a
free for all fight, ran over to stop it
and found the little native boy in the
bottom of the heap. The dogs were
beaten off and the boy picked up and
carried into the school house where he
was tenderly cared for by Mr. and
Mrs. Nash, the teachers. A dog team
and sled were immediately requisition
ed and with two natives the injured
lad was started for the Kanakanak
hospital over 90 miles away and over
a very rough country without a trail.
The Jittle fellow was placed in a
lynx-skin sleeping bag and the team
started on the long trip. On account
of very bad trail conditions the trip
required five days and during the en
tire five days the poor little boy was
not taken from the bag.
How he survived the ordeal is in
deed a miracle, as the entire inside of
the sleeping bag was wet with the
urine and wound discharges, which of
course caused a terrible irritation and
inflammation to the wounds and hor
rible suffering to the little chap. When
he was taken from the sleeping bag
at the hospital it was found that the
entire back part of the body, includ
ing the head, neck, back, buttocks,
thighs and legs were literally torn to
ribbons, some of the wounds being
large enough to lay the hand into and
extending through skin and muscles
and down to the bone. These wounds
were sticking full of hair and dirt
from the inside of the sleeping bag.
The little patient was in a maniacal
condition and struggled and cried out
wildly as though he were still suffer
ing the terrible mental tortures of a
pack of veritable wolves at his vitals.
After hovering between life and
death for seven or eight days the lit
tle fellow rallied and the long period
of healing the wounds commenced.
Several weeks later he was able to
again be removed to his home, his
body terribly scarred and deformed as
a result of the merciless fangs of these
bloodthirsty brutes.
Another case almost parallel was a
little white child, Mildred Nicholson,
her flesh torn and cut by dogs. She
was removed to the hospital over a
50-mile trail in a sled where her in
juries were dressed and cared for.
Such cases as the above are quite
common and many could be cited. But
not so fortunate were Mrs. Hugh Dev
lin and daughter of the well known
resident Peter Nelson, both of whom
were tom to death by the dogs at Dil
lingham.
Mrs. Devlin was a mother and left
four small children, and the little Nel
son girl was nine years of age at the
time she was killed.
No living animal can exist in this
country—nothing but huge bands of
dogs, the weaker ones always being
killed by the stronger. Hogs, chick
ens, sheep or any domestic animals
must be securely barred in and kept
from living on the abundant growth
of vegetation which, the vast ranges
'of the country afford.
Moose, also, are driven from their
feeding grounds by the bands of dogs.

The interpretation of the territorial |
law which provides for an eight-hour |
day in mining operations in Alaska §
having been called in question, Rep- |
resentative C. K. Snow of Ruby re- I
quested Acting Territorial Attorney §
General J. H. Cobb to write an opin- 5
ion covering /the more important g
points about which inquiries had been |
made. He has received the following |
reply: a
“Hon. C. K. Snow, Ruby, Alaska.
“My Dear Mr. Snow: I have the |
honor to acknowledge receipt of your S
letter, in which you asked me for my s
opinion regarding the enforcement of I
the eight-hour law passed by the first J
legislature of . Alaska, and amended .
by the legislature of 1915. *
“The eight-hour law is one of the
general laws of the territory of Alas
ka, and stands upon identically the
same basis as any other general law.
It is wholly immaterial as to whether
this law was enacted by congress or
by the Alaska legislature.
“All the territorial laws that were
enacieu Dy congress were so enacted
by congress in its capacity of a ter
ritorial legislature. In 1912 congress
created the Alaska legislature to per
form identically the same functions in
making laws for Alaska that up to
that time had been performed by con
gress. It will therefore be seen that
it is the duty of the judges and dis
trict attorneys to enforce the penal
provisions of the eight-hour law ex
actly as though the law had been
passed by congress. This is true of
all the penal laws passed by the Alas
ka legislature, with the exception of
the penal provisions of the revenue
laws, which by special provision con
tained in such laws and in the amend
ment of 1914 to the organic act are
to be enforced by the counsel of the
territory, and afterward by the at
torney general of the territory, when
one shall have been elected.
“The eight-hour law is not one of
the revenue bills, and it is the duty
of the district attorneys to enforce the
penal provisions of it exactly as it
enforces the penal provisions against
murder, robbery, theft, or any other
penal law of the territory.
“You further inquire as to who can
make the complaint for a violation of
the eight-hour law, whether it must
be one who has been injured by it or
otherwise. Anyone can make the
complaint, whether injured by it or
not, or the grand jury may indict the
same as in any other violation of a
penal law. The complainant need not
be one who has been injured by it.
“You further ask as to whether or
not the workingman can be prosecut
ed for a violation of it. Section 3 of
Chapter 29 of the Session Laws of
1913, reads in part as follows:
“ ‘Any person, persons, body cor
porate, general manager or employer
who shall violate or cause to be vio
lated any of the provisions of this act
shall be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor.
“I am of the opinion that the lan
guage quoted is broad enough to bring
within its penal provisions the laborer
or employee as well as the employer.
It is hard to see how it could be
otherwise. The law cannot be violat
ed by an employer without the par
ticipation therein by the employe; and
generally all persons who aid or abet
in the commission of a misdemeanor
are principals.”
