A question involving the rights
of a homesteader in the Anchorage
country who had been committed
to Morningside hospital, had been
raised and was considered by the
General Land Department at the
headquarters at Washington. The
Assistant Commissioner gave an op
inion, in which he said:
“Under the provisions of the Act
of June 8, 1880, a party who has le
gally initiated a claim to a tract
of public land as a settler thereon,
according to the preemption or the
! homestead law, is not required to
reside thereon or cultivate the land
after he becomes insane, so long as
the insanity continues, provided
he complied with the requirements
of the law up to the time he be
came insane, and proof in support
of the entry may be made by his
duly appointed guardian, nor is he
required to furnish evidence of cit
izenship.” In the case at issue the
homestead application was allowed
as an entry.

TOURISTS TO GET”
SAMPLES ALASKA FISH
Educating tourists and visitors
j to become “salmon minded” is the
mission of B. D. Blackwood of Ket
! chikan. says the Chronicle.
Swinging in the middle of the
! street is a sign which says, “Ket
’ chikan cans more salmon than
; any other city in the world.”
Inside of his “office” is a min
iature salmon trap ,and the shelves
will be stocked with various brands
of salmon. Labels are now on dis
play and literature about salmon
and how to prepare it in many dif
ferent forms for the table is be
ing prepared.
Mr. Blackwood believes that tou
rists from every part of the
United States, in fact from nearly
every part of the world, pass thru ;
| Ketchikan during the summer !
I months. Therefore, this is the lo
| ideal place to call their attention ,
j to the food value of Alaska fish.
Salmon is offered in souvenir j
j packages so that visitors can put!
them in their grips and try them j
out when they return home.
Mr. Blackwood says that he is j
getting splendid co-operation from j
the packers in furnishing him with
special brands.
