ALASKA NATIVE
BROTHERHOOD
CONVENTION
Mctiakathla Xoucmber
22 to 24 1915
Sixth and Seventh Sessiona
The convention once more held a
popular meeting on Tuesday even
ing, Nov, 23, and was presided over
by the Secretary, Rev. Mars den.
The meeting had been well adver
ted and again a large crowd of the
Metlakahtla people were present,
as were also some of the Govem
j ment teachers.
Th general subject on the pro
cram was the Alaska native citixen
. ’.ip. and this was treated acording
to its desirability for the natives,
how the same could be secured and
v hen, and also the requirements of
the new law on the subject.
The chair: “The subject that en
iges our earnest attention here
' tonight is one that is new to us
today, and one that was utterly un
known to our fathers of a few years
ago. Like any of the other de
mands of this present life the call
of our country for the exercise on
air part of the ordinary duties of
good citizens is pressing, and we
cannot shirk it whatever. Let us
be humble and wise, and at once
. familiarize ourselves with this, and
then under the guidance of our
American friends let us try to ful
: fill its requirements for the good
. of our northern country and our
native people. If we commit bad
mistakes let us be very willing to
have them corrected, and then try
again.”
“Tlie law books tell us,” contin
ued the presiding officer, that in
' the olden times, a citizen in the
Roman law and government seems
io have designated a person who had
fthe freedom of any Roman city, and
i the right to exercise all political
and civil privileges of the govern
ment. There was also at Rome a
partial citizenship including civil
| put not political rights.
“The citizen under our flag and
' •-vernnient today is one who owes
*o government allegiance, service
and suport, and to whom the gov
ernment in turn grants and guar
ntoes liberty of person, of con
science, of human society, the right
of acquiring and possessing prop
erty, of suit and defense, and se
curity in person, estate and repu
tation. This is but a plain and simple
’• finition of the American citizen,
and I trust that it will help us to
'light to understand the important
-uhject before us.”
The deliberations that followed
were led by Messrs, Price, Walton,
Worthington and Mercer. In the
| course of the proceedings the new
law was read and examined, and
its requirements noted and explain
ed. At the end of which the
brethren concluded that the ordin
ary rights and privileges of the
American were desirable to such of
the natives as were qualified; that
; there should be no favoritisms al
lowed in the matter; that no party
pol: . a should mar the struggles
; of the natives, and that as fast as
the natives who were able to do
so to : omply themselves to the new
law.
V. uen at the next morning ses
sion, Nov. 24, the president, Mr.
Peter Simpson, asked the question
from the program, what business
tailings did the natives actually
engage in ? the answers were many,
interesting, instructive and amus
ing.
There was a long list made out
from actual practice. It is sur
prising to find out that in spite
of the competition of the intelli
gent American business men, quite
a number of the natives in Alas
ka are today engaged in many hon
orable business callings other than
mere hunting and fishing, year in
and year out. Many failures and
(their causes were noted and these
were much regretted.
Mr. Charles Jones, an elderly
delegate from Wrangell, concluded
one of the series of discussions
with the following: “Young gentle
men and friends, I cannot help m.v
i self. I must conform myself to the
conditions of the day in which I
live now. So many white people
have come to our country, and
some of them have brought us the
clear light of a better life. Why
should I hold back? It is not right
for me to do this. There was a
time when the wild seal used to
plunge into the waters at the
slightest disturbance in the air.
Now he has become used to the
bright flashes of the government
Light on his native rookery, and he
does not flee so easily any more,
if he can do that surely I can al
so conform myself and life to the
new requirements of this present
j day.”

EARTH CRUMPLING WHICH ..
FORMED THE MOUNTAINS
In the region now occupied by
tlie Wasatch Mountains a number
of parellell faults were developed
close together and the broken pieces
of the earth’s crust between them
were pushed up, the rocks on one
side, of each crack riding up over
those on the other side until a
great mountain range was formed
where once lay a plain. During the
long period of slow earth movement
which made these mountains, flat
lying parallel beds of rock were
locally turned on edges, crumpled,
and folded in a wonderfully intri
cate manner. These upturned and
crumpled rocks are well exposed in
Ogden Canyon. The west face of
the Wasatch Range is believed to
mark the plane of a normal fault
at a nearly vertical crack in the
earth’s crust, the rocks on the east
side of which went up or those on
the west side went down. The
forces which have raised these
mountains are still active, for
movement along this fault has dis
turbed the surface recently. (Oer

Survey.)
