CORDOVA PROTESTS
Last week Cordova business men,
cannerymen and fishermen, alarmed
over the increasingly small run oi
salmon, got together and after pro
longed discussion of ways and means,
sent a lengthy protest to the depart
ment of commerce against continua
tion of fishing in certain waters
through which the salmon are forced
to pass on their way to the Coppei
River spawning grounds. The people
of Cordova fully realize that the fish
ing industry is being threatened witt
extinction and are taking the onb
way of securing remedial action.
After voting their objection, thej
declared “Nobody objects to competi
tion under fair and similar conditions
and we being all fishermen depen
dent on our catch for a living, are
ready to concede that the other fel
low has the same right to live as we
ask for ourselves.. However, if the
fish are exterminated none of us car
make a living here. This will hap
pen if stream fishing is continued
make a living hert. This will hap
in the Copper river, no honest man is
acquainted with conditions can deny.’
The entire territory is not free
from the same danger that threatens
the fishing industry of Cordova. Anc
even if Cordova were the only place
in danger, it would still be a mattei
of concern for the entire territory
Any encroaching on the material re
sources of the territory is of vita'
concern to all of it.
Cordova’s only source of help lies
in Washington. If its protest is suc
cessful, restrictive action for protec.
giounds may be taken next spring
tion of the Copper river spawning
hardly earlier. The damage if it is
being done and it is reasonable tc
suppose that it is, will continue at
least through the present season.
Therein lies the evils of long-dis
tance government. It takes too long
'O get action when immediate action
is needed.
I his is not the greatest of the evils
under the present system of Alaska
administration. Lack of knowledge of
conditions primarily produce situa
tions such as that against which Cor
dova now protests. As long as the
present system is continutd so long
will these situations exist and con
tinue to arise. Only when Alaskans
are allowed to have control of their
natural resources, of which fishing is
by no means the least important, will
abuses be corrected and injurious
practices be eliminated. Cordova’s
protest is timely, and it is probably
the forerunner of similar action by
other communities wherein the cen
ters of the fishing industry are lo
cated.—Juneau Empire.
Mr. Bryan had no business carry
ing his heart to any political con
vention.

ALASKAN APPOINTMENTS
Federal office holders in Alaska
who have failed for confirmation,
including Judge Bunnel and U. S.
Attorney Roth of the fourth divi
sion, are threatened with short lease
of official life in case of the suc
cess of the republican national tick
et this fall.
It has become known since the
two national conventions closed that
there is a concerted plan to prevent
any more confirmations of Mr. Wil
son’s appointments by the senate.
The Republicans, of course, do not
wish to let the president name his
favorites to long terms in fat pub
lic offices overlapping the most of
the tenure of Senator . Harding,
should he be elected. There is
nothing unusual about this feeling
on the part of the Republicans.
Eight years ago when Woodrow
Wilson was elected the Democrats
permitted no Taft nominations (o
be confirmed during the short ses
sion of congress, thus holding over
for Democrats a large number of
good places, including a federal
judgeship in Seattle.
!
The situation at this time is dif
ferent, however, because there ap
pears to be a general agreement
among some Democrats in the sen
ate that all Wilson appointments
should be held up in order to allow
Oox, if elected, to reward the faith
ful .
Three nominations to the inter
state commerce commission arc
among those which will be stopped
and President Wilson is expected
soon to fill two vacancies on the
shipping board, one of which will
go to a northwest man. The lat
ter also will be held up.
A postmaster is soon to be named
for Portland, Oregon., at $6,000 a yeai
to fill the vacancy caused by the
summary removal of Frank S
Myers some months ago, but the
appointment is not likely to be
worth the paper on which it wil
be written by the present occupant
of the white house.
The Republicans are convinced
that it would be a mistake to let
Mr. Wilson give important seats it
the executive administration of the
nation to men who are sure to be
at odds with the policy of Mr
Harding. And strangely those whe
surround Cox seem to feel the same
way about it in regard to the;,
candidate.
YAK CROSSED WITH
GALLOWAY CATTLE AT
EXPERIMENT STATIOf
t
Cross breeding of yak with Amer
ican cattle will be attempted this
year at the Fairbanks government
farm. This experiment was proposet
two years ago, but lack of funds ant
other drawbacks forced its postpone
ment for the time being.
A cow and bull yak recently passed
through Whitehorse having beer
si ipped from the Canadian herd a
Banff, Canada, to Fairbanks. Tin
Fairbanks farm recently acquired £
small ’herd of Galloway cattle from the
Ivodiak station and this strain wall b<
ciossed w'th the yak.
The idea was conceived by Prof
C. C. Georgeson, head of the Agri
cultural department’s stations ii
Alaska. It is his belief that success
ful cross breeding can be accomplish
ed. He is convinced that a hard}
strain of stock will be produced thai
will not only be able to withstand the
rigors of the northern winters bet
ter, than the ordinary cattle bu
will also prove profitable to theii
owners for dairy as well as butcher
ing purposes. The experiment will be
carried out under the personal super
vision of M. D. Snodgras, superinten.
dent of Fairbanks station. If it if
successful, ranchers in the Fairbanks
dstrict will be supplied with stock a<
a nominal cost to carry on 'the breed
ing on a commercial basis.
SUMMER CAMP FOR
CALIFORNIA KIDDIES
COLFAX, Cal., Aug. 6 (by A.ssociat
ed Press).—A quart of milk for each
one daily, fresh eggs, fresh fruits,
slcepinig in screened bedrooms and
unlimited room in which to play, is
the lot of forty-five children brought
from Sacramento to the summer camp
established one and a half mlies west
of here. Most of the children are
from poor families and many have a
tendency towards tuberculosis.
After three weeks of out-doors life
the children will be returned to their
homes and others brought out to oc
cupy the camp, and this will continue
until late summer.
The camp is owned' by the Sacra
mento County Tuberculosis Associa

EXPEDITION TO I
«
ALASKAN DOGS
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6 (by As
sociated Press).—Alaska dogs are
wanted by a party of British explorers
who are planning an expedition to the
Antarctic, according to a letter re
reived by C. E. Barling of Berkeley,
former Nome dog raiser, from Captain
G. H. Williams, a member of the pro
posed expedition.
John L. Cope, surgeon and biologist
of the Sir Ernest Shackelton expedi
tion to the South Pole, is to lead the
party, the letter said. The start, it
added, will be made from Wellington,
New Zealand, next fall.
Dogs of the breed wanted by the
British expedition are from the same
stock as the animals sent to France
from Alaska during the war by Darling
and A. A. (“Scotty”) Allen, another
Nome dog breeder. The two men de
veloped a team that won the annual
Nome all-Alaska sweepstakes dog
derby four times.
SURVEY BOATS WILL
FREQUENT OUR WATER
SAYS COL L. E. JONES
That a vessel of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey and numerous
launches will be permanently located
in Alaska as soon as he is able to
carry out the plan he is forming is
information imparted by Col. E. Les
1 ter Jones, director of that service
who is in Juneau with the Lydonia.
j Col. Jones says this is necessary in
| order that the Coast and Geodetic
Survey may give to Alaska the ser
vice that conditions warrant.
It is the contention of Col. Jones
that whenever there is a discovery
of a hidden rock or reef it should
be on the charts as soon as possible,
and he proposes to have a survey
boat in reach so that it may proceed
immediately after such a discovery
to secure the necessary data for the
charts.
It is Col. Jones’ purpose to visit
the work in Alaska every year. He
is convinced 'that it is only in that
way he and the Coast and Geodetic
[ service can be of the greatest ser
vice to Alaska. Col. Jones is a firm
believer in the merit of first hand
• information. He believes that cabi
i net members or heads of bureaus
, which have work in Alaska should
I visit the territory frequently and be
[ coine acquainted with the people and
. the resources and needs of the coun
try that they may understaudingly
rule- on matters that are brought be
fore them, and so they may be able
to bring things to Alaska instead of
, compelling Alaska to go after them
all the time.
Col. .Tones has been one of the
, most consistent and persistent friends
of Alaska in Washington for many
years, according to those who have
visited the capital in the interest of
the territory. He has freely given his
wide acquaintance and influence to
advance the material welfare of the
Northland.
WOMAN COUNTS AGE
FROM TIME STARS FELL
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 (by Associ
ated Press). Anne Prater, colored, of
ficially recorded by the census taker
here as 115 years old, has just re
ceived a visit from E. M. McCown of
Darlington, S. C., grandson of “Marse
George” McCown, whose “mammy”
she was in the days of slavery.
The woman said that “when the
stars fell,” which was in 1833, “Marse
George” told her to remember she was
} 29 years old.
“I count from then,” she said.
“Marse George promised me my free
dom on my next birthday, but was
drowned "before it came.”
Since the Associated Press carried
the original story about her last Jan
uary, the old woman has been the sub
ject of many newspaper articles. Mr.
McCown read the original story and
came to Los Angeles to see his grand
father’s servant.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 (by Associ
ated Press).—A free corn clinic will
be provided for residents of Los An
geles under provisions now being
worked out by the city council. Free
treatment will also be given for
bunions, broken arches and other foot
trouble.
