GOV. SCOTT C. BONE
The Ketchikan Examiner, in its
last issue says some very harsh
things about Gov. Scott C. Bone,
whom it accuses of nepotism and oth
er mi>demeanors, which, to quote
John Rustgard, of transportation
fame, is all “Bosh.” Governor Bone
has given Alaska one of the best ad
ministrations it has had since the
universally beloved John G. Brady
administered our affairs. He has
been eminently fair in his appoint
ments, and has invariably consulted
his people before naming any man
for office.
It is true that he has left demo
crats in office, but this is apparently
no crime, as the marshal’s office, and
every office in the territory has kept
such Democrats as were unusually
good men for their position. And nu
merous democrats are holding post
office jobs in the territory where Re
publicans could fill the positions, so
why pick out Gov. Bone? While our
preference is for republicans in pow
er wherever possible, we believe that
where a man is invaluable in his
place it would be folly to place a
poorer man in office for the sake of
politics.
The governor’s son-in-law was one
of the most competent and courte
ous gentlemen we have ever met, and
his appointment to a minor office
was aceptable to most persons ac
quainted with him. If he lived in
the governor’s mansion it was a
matter of home ties rather than eco
nomy as Mr. Star’s income was suf
ficient to keep several families com
fortably. We have considerably more
respect for the Governor for looking
after his relatives than we would if
he had turned them loose to shift
for themselves. Personally we hold
family ties above every other thing.
The man who loves his family is gen
erally a good citizen, while the man
who has no use for his home folks
can generally be found an undesir
able, unable to get along with any
Personally we know that Governor
Scott C. Bone never sought the of
fice of governor, but was induced to
accept it after Mr. Wickersham had
made it impossible to elect George
Hazelet, an Alaskan, for whom the
editor of the Examiner appears to
have a predeliction. Had Mr. Wick
ersham withdrawn when he saw he
had no chance for the appointment it
would not have been forced onto Mr.
Bone.
Knowing Mr. Bone for a long term
of years we can say that he was one
the best loved and most likeable
“boss” ever at the head of the Post
Intelligencer, and had the respect of
the “bunch,” from stereotypers to
galley boys. He is without deceit
or guiles and would come nearer giv
ing his worst enemy a square deal
than any man we have ever met. He
has been in Alaska many years and
traveled over far more of the coun
try than has the editor of either the
Examiner or the Gateway. This con
stant harassment because of politics
is unbecoming any Alaskan, who
stands for a square deal. Gov. Bone
is not alone in his belief that the
Territory should be divided. Every
intelligent citizen knows Alaska is so
big that it is unwieldy and that bet
ter government could be obtained by
centralization. Those who oppose its
division do so for political purposes
and not with the idea of the better
ment of the Teritory.
Those who are intimate with the
governor love him for the kindly,
courteous gentleman he is and not
for his office. No man can truth
fully say that he has not worked to
the best interests of the Territory at
all times.
INFORMATION WANTED
Information is wanted of the
whereabouts of Daniel Dowd, a car
penter by trade, about sixty years of
age, 8 feet 2 inches in height, well
built broad shouldered, blue eyes and
had black wavy hair. The informa
tion is requested by his sister, and
should be sent to the Governor’s of
fice, Juneau, Alaska, for transmittal
to her.
WHITE MAN’S MALADY IS
FATAL TO FIJI ISLANDER
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8.—Civi
lization was today the conquerer of
Jim Brown, brown-skinned Fiji Is
lander, the victim of a fate that car
ried him from the waving palms of
his native home to die of white men’s
diseases in the charity ward of a
local hospital.
Jim Brown—whose real name was
Matanaba, ‘broad eyes,” to those who
speak his language—died of tubercu
losis following an unsuccessful strug
gle against ways of which he knew
little.
Matanaba had a few friends to
mourn for him as the plain casket
was lowered into the Potter’s Field
—brown-skinned, like himself, most
of them, although there were one or
two white persons who had tried to
aid him as he tossed in delirium in
the little room where he was found.
In November, 1922, Matanaga ship
ped as a member of the crew of Fiji
to San Francisco and return.
But there was no return.
The crew was paid off in San Fran
cisco, and Matanaba ,unable to un
derstand the language, had difficulty
in finding work. Weakened from lack
of food, he hurt himself when finally
did find a job and died in the County
Hospital, crying for the land of his
birth. 14
POLITICAL LIFE AROUSES
INDIANS OF MONTANA
HELENA, Mont., Sept. S.—Montana!
Indians, apparently aroused by the re
cent enactment of the Indian citizen- j
ship bill, are taking an increasing in
terest in politics. Several Indians,
educated in the reservation schools,
have filed this year for county offices,
while Robert Yellowtail, three-quarter
blood Crow Indian, of Lodge Grass,
on the Crow reservation, has announc- j
ed his desire to attend the white
man’s congress at Washington as a
representative from Montana.
Yellowtail, who is 35 years old, i
completed his education by private j
tutoring after his graduation from i
the reservation schools. Encouraged;
by his tribesmen, he recently filed
for congress from the Second dis-1
trict, subject to the primary election
in September. He is opposing Con
gressman Scott Leavitt, of Great
Falls, who is completing his first
term.
Montana’s Indian population is es
timated at 13,000, of whom 7,000 live
in the Second congressional district.
More than 2,500 Indians from the
six reservations will be allowed to
vote this year. Yellowtail, who gives
his occupation as a rancher, announc-!
es he will base his compaign on his i
knowledge of Indian problems.

Ancient Spanish Armor
Is Found in Nebraska
COLUMBUS, Neb., Sept. 9.—An
cient Spanish armor and military
equipment unearthed near Genoa,
Neb., and the discovery of an his
torical American manuscript by a
French editor in French archives,
telling of a Spanish expedition up
the Loup River valley in 1729, brot
E. E. Blackman, curator for the Ne
braska Historical Society, Lincoln,
to Columbus, on his way to Genoa,
to spend several weeks, if necessary
in an expedition of exploration and
excavation to the Loup River valley.
Blackman, after a short visit with
Captain L. H. North, Columbus pio
neer plainsman, left for Genoa, de
claring the purpose of the expedition
was three-fold.
The first is to ascertain more of
the Spanish relics, locate the place
where they were found and exca
vate for more evidence of a Spanish
military expedition. Blackman de-1
cV.ved that in 1720 a Spanish expe
dition came from Santa Fe to the
mouth of the Loup and went up the
river some distance in earch of
lead mines they believed, from some
French reports, they would find in
this section, along with gold and
silver.
LADY ASTOR LIKES TO
PAY HER INCOME TAXI
LONDON, Sept. 9.—Lady Astor
has a new sport. It is paying taxes.
Opposing a proposal to reduce the
income tax, Lady Astor intervened
in a lively Hcuse of Commons de
bate to declare:
“I like paying taxes. I am very
glad to have the money to pay
taxes."
Influential as Lady Astor is, how
ever, it is very doubtful if she will
be able to popularize the pastime
which gives her such a pleasure.
