MORIBUND ORGANIZATION COMES TO LIFE
A Washington dispatch of yesterday states that
the interdepartmental committee appointed some years
ago with the avowed intention of bringing Washington
government nearer to the Territory of Alaska by placing
responsible heads of departments in the Territory, is
about to meet at the request of Secretary Wilbur.
The Secretary of the Interior apparently appreciates the
fact that there is something wrong with the Indian De
partment as it functions in Alaska. One does not wonder
at this when we discover from the records of vital sta
tistics kept at Juneau, that more than one third of all
deaths among natives and mixed bloods are caused by
tuberculosis, this being 20 times the death rate from
that cause in the States. Furthermore it would seem
that the Bureau of Indian Affairs gets but meager re
turns for the amount of money spent for education
among the natives.
We suggest that the Territoiy of Alaska is best
equipped to care for the schooling and sanitary condi
tions of these people. If the U. S. Government will re-:
turn to the Territorial Treasury all the income taxes;
derived from Alaska as they do in Porto Rico, will give
back the fifty or sixty thousand dollars a year they j
take from our fur industry and turn back the hundreds |
of thousands of dollars they derive from the Alaska
fur seal industry, we will handle our native schools and
sanitation and we believe, will do a much better job than j
the Federal Government has done.
RAIN AND SUNSHINE
The other day we heard a friend crying about
the cussed snow; yesterday we heard another good
friend moaning about the rain «md wind. He didn’t like
it because everything was so dull and gloomy; the sun
did not shine and the rain made everything miserable.
Personally, we like the rain. Did you ever notice when
it rains how sidewalks, roofs and auto tops shine?
We are thinking of a time when we were almost
down and out and there was nothing for the “rainy day.”
We suddenly n< ic ed then that our real friends seemed
to shine more brightly than ever before and if it hadn’t
been for the rain perhaps we never would have known
how brightly a friend can shine when rays are needed. j
A little adversity in a fellow’s life rarely does him
any harm. But while he’s down he certainly lias a fine
chance to discover a few truths; the things worth while.
Anybody can have fiends "Tdrilc ho has money or
luck. It’s easy to tell a r an not to worry when he is
down but not worrying i0 something else again. So if one!
doesn’t enjoy a rainy day the next best thing to do is to
look for the glistening spots on the sidewalks, roofs and
auto tops and work like the dickens.
AVAST THERE!
We have just had the opportunity today of making
the acquaintance of Captain A. A. Anderson, master of
the S. S. Redondo, of the A. S. S. Co., and in him we see
another of the younger generation of Alaska mariner's
who have made good. Captain Anderson has sailed the j
seven seas for over 20 years yet still has some distance j
to go before he reaches the age of 40. Captain Anderson 1
wil be with us for about six months so we can claim him
as one of our new citizens; and they don’t make ‘em any I
better than both of these skippers named Anderson,
Captain C. E. of the S. S. Starr, and Captain A. A. of j
the S. S. Redondo.
The treasury department has ruled that it will not j
demand income tax on the inflated fortunes made in I
Wall Street. Let’s all swear ours is stage money.

A French investigator discovers that 35 per cent!I
of children between 6 and 15 tell lies. Which presents l
the percentage that grow up as perfect love makers.
One of the advantages of woman’s emancipation is i
that the old gag about friend wife frisking her hus- I
band’s breeks for his bankroll has not been reversed. I
President Hoover issued an executive order barring
parrots from entry to the United States. Now Herb

fox ms Bi
Fill, BID ISM
Poachers raided a blue fox farm
on Baird Island, in the vicinity
of Chichagof, recently, and made
'vav with 20 animals, according
*o a ’etter received by the Alaska
Game Commission from C. L. Dur
een. owner and operator, it was
announced in the Empire. There
was no clue to the identity of the
ranchers.
Mr. Durgen said all the stolen
animals were marked with one
Quarter inch round holes in both
pars. A patch of fur four inches
I souare was also shaved off each
side of the foxes. This is the
pourth time in as many years that
the Durgen ranch has suffered
’osses from the operations of
poachers
While this is the first authentic
"euert of such losses this year,
the commission has heard rumors
of other raids. From these, it
-earned apparent that the poach- j
er3 were operating rather exten- i
sively in the Icy Strait district, i

The Gateway:
I Just a little social news.
| The Campfire Girls of Valdez
of which the .school teachers are
the leaders, entertained the peo
ple of Valdez March 14, with a
bazaar and circus side-show. The
first on the program was a
shadow picture, of which I en
close a urogram. It was a very
clever little act and well carried
| out. There were fortune tellers,
{a great fishpond where you
Jcaught anything from a sucker
i to a diamond, and you could get
hats, dogs, and chicken with fit
j tie dressing. In fact, you could
: buy anything from a needle to
a ticker, providing you had the
mazuma. They even had a train
I run over a boy, and he is still
j alive to tell the story. There
1 were fakirs and soiders like you
! see in the good old circuses and
bazaars. And consider, it was
the first show given by these
pretty Campfire Girls. It was a
success from start to finish.
Next on the program, and may
be the last for this winter, is J
the Valdez Dramatic Club play.
With all these social affairs
and that rich gold strike of Do
heny-Dolan I think we will all
enjoy another and better year
1930. Let’s hope so, for the only
packers in Valdez will be left
packing the gold out of that rich
ore.

Valdez, Alaska.
A regular meeting of the City

On the 10th the old and new
