Afognak Letter.
vice of the Russian government or
in the employment of the compan
ies, selected Afognak island as a
very desirable place for establish
ment of their homes.
In those days, tinder despotic
rule of Russia, the people were con
tented and happy; and.when there
was no “government by the people
for the people," all encouragement
and assistance was given to settlers
in building of homes and develop
ment of natnral resources without
restriction on Afognak island.
In those days, when the people
were not living in the era of “stren
uosity,” l>y utilization of natural
resources various industries were
maintained on Afognak island.
They were cutting wood, manufac
turing boats, barrels, and various
utensils of wood; they raised cat
tle, hogs, potatoes, turnips, cured
tish, and sent all surplus to other
parts of Alaska.
Now when the stars and stripes,
the emblem of freedom, is waving
over the island, and since the es
tablishment of the forest and fish
reserves on Afognak island all is
changed; no inhabitant is permit
ted to cut for sale fire wood from
timber that is uselessly maturing
and decaying, nor catch for sale
fish that uselessly perisli—created
by ail all wise providence for the
tanefit of men.
Ao means, w hatevv•», by which a
living could be made for themselves
and their families are available to
inhabitants of the island; they are
compelled to seek employment
hundreds of miles away from their
homes to obtain necessaries beside
fish for their little ones, und arc
often unsuccessful.
In the name of common sense
aad humanity, is it right that peo
ple should he in want in the midst
of plenty?
Is it right that the present in
habitants—over 400 souls—should
i lie deprived of the rights enjoyed
by their fathers and forefathers—
the right to toil to sustain the lives
of themselves and their families
on their own island?
They are not asking for material
government aid, hut. permission to
sell fish from Afognak island under
certain regulations. A. F.
