CANNERIES ALARMED
Delegate Sutherland’s amendments
to the White Bill, known as House
K. s 143, has tluown a bomb into the
organized cannery interests oi t.te
Pacific Coast who see ultimate re
striction of li'.eir monopoly hi case
th-“-e amendnnots are adopted. Last
year the Bureau of Fisheries under
the so-called reserve system granted
piivileges to me larger companies
whore by th«■> practically obtained a
monopoly of the fishing gtotinds, tne
smaller concevns being practically put
out of business in a lew css°s. As
an index of the true workings of the
rastern larger packs were made than
formerly, and new' cannerms wei>
piwn permits, instead of the number
being decreased.
Alaskans w re of the opinion that
if the fish-vies buieau were sincere
in its efforts to preserve the fish it
would have r. fused to allow oiler
companies to enter a crowded field,
and would m ve held down tc the
packs cl the larger companies to at
lee-a a fiii * e!tv basis, allow in— lilt'
per cent of me fish to escan lor tu
ture propagation, instead the larger j
companies were better protected than
formerly, as the small operator was
prohibited from encroaching on their
fishing grounds.
The cannery interests are fighting
desperately in the last ditch lot con
trol of the Alaskan fisheries. i
fight has been precipitated by Dele- >
gate Sutherland, unexpectedly, which j
has left the cannery association with
out ready ammunition, consequently
they are appealing to business inter
ests of the States to nuliifj the acts
ot Alaska’s delegate.
Until such time as Alaska can gain
control of her resources, our streams (
and bays will be looted by mercenary j
interests. If the time ever comes,
when Alaskan concerns can exploit j
Alaska’s wealth, it will bo much bet-;
ter for all concerned. Until that
time we will have to stand behind

our representative in Washington, re- j

WE SHOULD S-A-A-Y NOT!
We should like some oooster for
John Ruslgard to give one cogent
reason why he should be re-elected
:o the office of Attorney General. We
do not believe it can be done. For '
years he has used his office as a
smoke screen for verbal barrages
against the steamship companies and
now since Delegate Sutherland has
come out against the fish reserves,
John tails along in the dirty political
water, fins waving and tail flapping
whenever fish are mentioned. John
is a good old scout, but he and his
kind have kept the Territory back
a quarter of a century. Why not re
tire him and get a new brand of dope
before the next election?
SITKA EMBARRASSED
Sitka is experiencing the embar
rassing problem of being governed by
two Indian councilmen. touted by
John Rustgard as more able than
the whites. Mr. Rustgard’s paper,
the "Examiner, brags about the effi
ciency of the Indians and points with
pride to the fact that an Indian boy
won a prize for the best essay on
Immigration. It is true that many
Alaskan Indians are above the av
erage in intelligence. Wm. Paul, edi
tor of the Alaska Fisherman, is a
man of more than ordinary ability,
personal magnetism and executive
shrewdness. To a man like Mr. Paul
we believe every right should be
granted that is granted to any other
loyal American citizen; but the aver
age Indian has not the mentality nor
the training to take up abstruse prob
lems of civil government. In time
they may be our best citizens, but
the time is not yet. Mr. Rustgard is
making trouble for the whites and
misery for the Indians by backing
their political aspirations.
If John Rustgard believes that an
Indian makes as good an official as
a white man why not turn the office
of attorney general over to one. \\ e
will admit that Wm. Paul would be
a tremendous improvement over the
present incumbent.
It is said that thousands of dollars
were lost in the Ketchikan fire, the
owners of the money having no faith
in banks. Had this money been de
posited in a bank it would have
been safe today. When it burned the
equivalent of that much labor and
earning power were destroyed. The
banks are safe, sound and secure.
Fable—He cleaned up ten millions
but the scandal left him without
friends.

SITKA EMBARRASSED
BY INDIAN VOTERS
- (
The question of the Indian vole is I
one that is being threshed out at this :
time, anil the town is said to be very
much embarrassed over the situation i
' according to the Sitka Tribune. The
City of Sitka derives of $5,000 in- ;
come from its taxpayers and but
$670 is paid by the Indian popula- I
tion. There are approximately 140
Indian tax payers on the tax roll.
Under the present law these Indians,
their aunts, uncles, cousins, and i
friends all vote and naturally over |
whelm the vote of the whites who j
pay 86 per cent of the revenues.
NEW CITY TO BE BUILT
CONCRETE, April 16—A force of
150 men will start work April 20 on
the dam and power site of the Puget
Sound Power & Light company, ac
cording to information, received here.
The buildings for housing the men are
being rushed, provisions and supplies
are being hauled in and other inci
dental work is being forced so that
everything will be in readiness for the
big crew. According to reports the
| force will be increased to 300 or 400
later in the summer, when the water
in the Baker river is at its lowest ebb.
The camp buildings on the hill north
east of Concrete constitute a consider
able “city” in themselves. Water
mains and sewers haev been laid and
a lighting system nas ueen msianeu.
