NEED FOR ORGANIZATION
Now that the thin edge of the wedge has been of
fered with respect to securing greater home rule for
Alaska, through the petition of the Cook Inlet 1 rap
pers and Game Protective Association for elected re
presentatives on the Alaska Game Commission, a gen
eral movement along this line is looked for, with the
fishermen falling into line with an organization- Al
ready the movement is gaining headway.
A general plaint has gone up that much danger
lurks in the present system of delegating to one man
the authority to change regulations overnight. It is
claimed that chaos reigns instead of security; that it
is impossible to tell at the end of one season what will
be permitted next.
Among the matters being noted is that of seek
ing to have sufficient advance information of what is
to come in time to prepare; such as getting out trap
piling, pupchasing gear and equipping boats.
Possibly the trappers have started something that
will bear ripe fruit, namely organization for the pur
pose of presenting Alaska’s side of the question instead
of leaving it to the politicians and bureaus.
SENATORS IMMUNE
In a recent Washington news letter Wm. L. Daley
of the National Editorial Association comments on the
violence with which presidential nominees for appoint
ive offices are frequently attacked by Senators who op
pose their confirmation, and says: '‘Senators are im
mune from civil damages for their comments in the
Senate regardless of how far it approaches blackguard
ism.”
In other words a Senator may make the most reck
less and untruthful statements concerning anyone with
out being held to account, no matter how much these
utterances may unjustly reflect upon and injure the
persons so attacked.
The wholesale immunity which legislators enjoy
works a grave injustice to many honorable citizens.
And, unfortunately, it appears that some of the politi
cians who make a specialty of reckless talk find no dif
ficulty in securing re-election.
There was a time in Nevada when a small sampl
ing works started many a small mine on the road to
real production. We earnestly recommend this to the
attention of the Alaska Railroad management.

ON
(Continued from Page Onel
ing recent years; in 1916 this
| search was given up. The vein !
found on Popoff, Mr. Bradford j
| states, measures thus far 24
feet in width and the side walls
have not yet been encountered.
The ore assays $17 which, in
comparison to the Alaska-Juneau
! mine’s $2 ore, tells a story with
! out need of elaboration. Located
four miles from Squaw Harbor
and a tidewater proposition, with
ample water power available,
there is just cause for exultation
both throughout the Westward
and Seward area. The quartz is
extra high in silver, lead and
zinc, aside from the $17 gold per 1
; ton. Thus far the lead has been
1 traced on the surface for a dis- 1
tance of 600 feet ample assur- !
ance for a tremendous tonnage. '
Work thus far has consisted of
cross-cutting and drifting in to
a depth o£ 50 feet and a solid
i block of ore eight feet in width
was uncovered. Two shifts will
be kept on the job all winter, Mr. j
Bradford said, until spring when !
the development should be so
far advanced to warrant a huge
investment and actual operation.
It has been a common report
among Alaska mining men that ,
a couple of million of dollars ’
in tailings, from the Appolo i
mine, has been laying on the bot- j
tom of the sea since operating j
I days and that if the present day !
oil flotation method had been j
known at that day, the Appolo 1
would have been in operation j
today.
Mr. Bradford, a guest at the
Sexton hotel, accompanied foy j
a number of his cannery employ
ees, departs for Seattle on the
S. S. Alameda.
MATT ALRIGHT AGAIN
Matt Seferovich, who was in- j
jured some weeks ago when he j
fell down a couple of decks on !
the Taiyu Maru, .suffering bad j
bruises, returned Wednesday from i
the government hospital at An- ]
chorage where he was confined
for 18 days. He returns feeling
O K M N X.
It is reported that a couple of
cow-moose and a calf have been
! seen at Mile 14.
H. O. ROBERTS HERE
H. O. Roberts, Uganik cannery
man, arrived in Seward yesterday,
a passenger on the S. S. Redon
do, and was accompanied by mem
bers of his staff and crew. They
depart for the south on the S. j
S. Alameda. Among the arrivals
were P. F. Dybwad, Anton Strum '
and Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Horn and
daughter June.
Rev. W. R. and brother Charlie
Macpherson made a trip up Res
| urrection the other day but the
j high water and swift current,
j five miles up, discouraged them i
from continuing.
