WHY WILL STREET
DEMISED FIRING
OF BEN B. MOZEE
(Continued from page two)
j the world, altho palliated in such
I quarters as Porto Rico, the Virgin
! Islands and the Philippines by edu
; cation and political freedom,
j Thru importunities by those in
| charge of the natives and the rein
deer industry the old tub Boxer,
j capable of handling 700 carcasses
j of reindeer at a trip, was assigned
| to offer an outlet for surplus rein
, deer meat- Its inadequacy gave but
i little return to the natives for their
year’s labor in herding deer.
At this juncture it was proposed
in Washington that these market
ing facilities be enlarged. The
matter dragged along, while the
Lomens Corporation captured the
market with its 78,905 herd of rein
deer. leaving the natives with 459,- j
638 animals on their hands and j
no means of securing revenue
therefrom.
Pressure exerted on Washington
I resulted in the scrapping of the
Boxer and placing of the North
Star in the Indian Office Service,
. after the reindeer service had been
turned over to the Department of
, the Interior for exploitation.
Under the Bureau of Education
the industry was governmental
i philanthropy of a practical nature
i and one which promised self-li
• quidation. Under the Department
of the Interior it became a prag
i matic football for Big Business to
scramble for, as pointed by Mr.
, Linderberg in his conversations
; with Mr. Shields, as did the tie
cutting contract when the Alaska
Railroad was switched from the in
corruptible War Department to the
Interior Department under the
reign of plundering just dethroned
by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Every piece of literature distri
buted from Washington teems with
alleged correct statistics on the
reindeer industry and its import
ance to Alaska natives. Investi
gations within the past four years
reveal that the only question of
markets was the transportation of;
reindeer meat to the States in a
j proper state of preservation and on
j the hoof to sell every pound pro
1 duced.
But read paragraph 5 of the
summing up in the Kendrick-Leav
itt report:
(5) With the present day un
developed markets for the reindeer
product it is evident that consid
i erable time must elapse before it
; can become more than an item of
| food and clothing for the natives.
I (6) The government should not
purchase existing reindeer mar
keting facilities or establish com
petitive agencies.
(7) While it is believed that the
market requirements of the natives1
may be served adequately with
proper co-operation between all
parties? this does not mean that
the government representatives will i
be delinquent in inquiries as to the
relative price paid by existing mar
keting agencies (the Lomens Corp
oration) to insure a fair value for
the native product.
(12) Because of lack of native
capital or governmental funds with
which to compensate the Lomen
company for abandoning their
rights and facilities on the Teller
range, and the improbability of
finding another available range
suitable for the Lomen stock, a
separation of the Teller herds is
not feasible at this time.
Here is the old spoils system
which has hung like a mildew over
the native since its introduction
in the prairie West.
The eskimo is told to eat his
459,638 reindeer or sell his surplus
to the Lomen Corporation—at $3.00
per head when they will buy them.

CEDAR WON BALL GAME
Stepping up to the tee, the Cedar i
baseball team took-off under full!
power against the Seward “Slick
ers” and when the mud was clean
ed out of the eye followng the last
touchdown, the score stood 21-8 in
favor of the seaman who throw a
mean stroke. Baskets were made "
early in the opening cantos but the J»"
wickets were plied furiously and to j
good purpose throughout the en- »
tire match. Some excellent sprints i
were indulged in between bases, J
as well as high jumping in nailing J
Texas leaguers. s
NOTICE
The Ladies Aid will meet at;
Mrs. E. E. Reisner’s at 2 p. m. on ■'
Thursday. A good attendance is ■
requested.
He is told to step forward as a
trained financier, without money
and training, and establish his own
markets; that the Federal govern
ment washes its hands of his fu
ture.
When a call went out for aid to
the hungry and distressed the
eskimos of the Arctic contributed
200 head of deer for relief of na
tives and whites between the north
and Ketchikan!
These are only high lights of the
reindeer scandal, which evidence
supports as equal to any affecting
the past three administrations in
that it despoils wards of the gov
ernment for the benefit of big
business.
From all over the north have
come letters to The Gateway ap
plauding its stand in bringing the
Mozee case before the public and
corroborating what has been pub
lished to date.

ON THE
FUTURE
IT’S easy to assume that “everything will be all
right”, and though that is a comfortable philos
phy it is apt to lead disasterous consequences where
the disposal of your estate is concerned* Don’t
leave this important matter^to chance and the kindly,
though possibly misdirected offices of some friend.
