NOME. ALASKA, JAN. 212, 1910.
1 ne slimy hand ot me Least Is again
brougut lo view through the effort to
wrest away Horn Alasaa Uie rlgfft to
doi.ve some uonetll tnrougu mo medi
um ol .oaaiicu Horn llial greatest ol
ml her mart clous resources, the tisli
eiles. Not content witu paying a pit
taucu out ot me vast wealth annually
piuuueieu troin the waters of the ter
ritory, they ure now, with the con
nivance ol me department of com
merce, ol which the bureau oi tlsher
ies la u branch, piepunug to strip the
territory of the lust prospect of de
riving a revenue from the fishing in
dustry. Also, us if in an effort to add
insult to Injury', the same corporation
controlled department, wishes to take
away from Hie territory all control ot
the fur bearing animals of the district.
This Is going the limit and indicates
Hint the plunderbund are commencing
to fear timt ihe people of the terri
tory ure about to wake up and learn
that they ure entitled to something out
of the vast wealth that Is being reaped
by this aggregation of law protected
pirates and will shortly demand that
i hey shall have a share in the millions
that are being taken from their bays
and rivers and streams. The enact
ment of the last legislature placing a
tax, a pitifully small tax on the pro
ducts of the fishing combine, evidently
set that trust by the ears and they are
now attempting, not only to nullify
the objectionable legislation, but are
also preparing against a recurrence of
such Iniquitous doings In the future
by having their tools In the department
of commerce take away all rights and
privileges of control which might give
them trouble In tho future. Delegate
Wlckersham has apparently forstalled
the plan for the present by having
(he measure referred to the committee
on territories where it is more likely
to receive different consideration from
that which would be accorded by the
committee on fisheries, of which Rep
resentative Alexander, who Introduced
ihe measure at the behest of Secre
tary Redfleld, and who Is undoubtedly
in sympathy with tho Intention of the
department, Is the chairman. The In
ti oductlon of two bills, one of which
is designed to centralize control of tho
fisheries In the department and the
other to take from tho territorial leg
islature all authority over the fish
eries and fur bearing animals and par
ticular the right to tax the fisheries
in any way Indicates plainly that the
LCtion Is part of a well developed plan,
which was probably conceived by the
fish packers themselves and is doubt
less so framed that the packers will
practically control the fisheries of Al
aska through their henchmen In the
department, one of whom Is tho secro
tary himself.

Bane to tell stories. He spoke of the

two hunters had been killed by them.

The building of the board walk along
the beach at Scow Bay was completed
last Saturday, and Olaf Arness has
notified C. J. Hays, of tho road com
mission, that the job is ready for in
spection. The walk is 5,820 feet in
,ength.—Petersburg Report.
Rust year Canada was in hard luck.
An over extended boom in town and
city iota in tho northwest had weak
ened the financial position, and tho
banks were drastically restricting
credits when the war broke out. Then,
to put tlie cap sheaf on the dominion's
weight of woe, the crops failed at the
very time when all grains commanded
fancy prices. This combination of dis
asters forced the dominion and pro
vincial governments to take etraordi
nary measures to relievo tho distress
of business men, and moratoriums
were declared that afforded temporary
relief, but Injured credit because sol

Former Senator Roden, who has
traveled through interior Alaska dur
ing the past summer, visiting nearly
Bvcry camp In the territory, says hr
believes Iditarod is tho best placet
:amp per capita In Alaska. Ho pre
dicts that it 1915 output will total
>3,000,000—within $500,000 to $1,000,000
bf the total for the so-called Fair
banks district, and the latter draws
from several camps 100 to 150 miles
a.way, while the Iditarod output Is for
the district in the immediate vicinity
bf the town. "Of course," said Mr !
Roden, "Fairbanks is the leading town
in tho Interior of Alaska, but that Is
^ not because It is a better placer camp'
j than Iditarod. It is because it is the
commercial and official center of the
.riterior country, and as such draws
from the whole Yukon and Tananla
valleys,”

L 1\ Protzman, clerk of the federal
court for the fourth division of the
Alaska district, gives the following in
. urination concerning labor conditions
lti the vicinity of Fairbanks. "Alaska
is no place at present for any one with
out means to carry them through at
least a year, as there Is no employment
of any kind to be had, and there are
plenty of old timers to do the railroad
construction work who depend upon
what they can pick up during the sum
mer to enable them to carry on pros
pecting during the winter.” The Tan
ana valley, Mr. Protzman says, will
support 1,000,000 people when the rail
road reaches it and opens it up
