GLADYS TAMAREE PASSES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
The many friends of Mrs. Tillie
Paul Tamaree will learn with sor
row that her youngest daughter,
Gladys June Tamaree on August
23rd, 1924, passed away, at 7 o’clock
in the evening.
She was nearly sixteen years of
age and just entering high school.
She was buried at Wrangell. She
is survived by her father, William
Tamaree, her mother, her sister,
Frances, and three half-brothers
Samuel K. Paul of New York; Louis
F. Paul of Petersburg, and William
L. Paul of Ketchikan.
God loaned her to us; she has
finished her work and God has taken
her back to Himself. It remains for
the living to honor her memory by
striving to carry on her ideals of
love and goodness. She knew that
she was departing and she was not
afraid. At the last moment, she
asked for her sister-in-law, and said,
“Where’s big Frances.” This sister,
Mrs. William L. Paul, took her hand
and she closed her eyes for a mo
ment. Her father then came in,
and the young girl, with one final
effort, looked at him and said “Don’t
cry, Daddy.”
I think that should be the senti
ment of Christians. Our loved ones
go on before us, to prepare a place
for us as it were. Soon the time
will come for each of us, one by
one, to take that last step that will
unite all those who die in the Faith.
" DANGEROUS”
Pa. II. R. Ordered to Reinstate
Working Man
The Railroad Labor Board order
ed the Pennsylvania Railroad to re
instate to his former position with
full rights and pay, Joseph Greek,
general chairman on that system of
the Brotherhood of Maintenance of
Ways Employes and Railway Shop
Laborers.
Greek had criticized the “Pennsyl
vania System Fraternity,” a com
pany union organization, and was
dismissed.
The Board rules that the dis
charge of Greek was unjustified in
asmuch as it is not against the
laws of the state or nation to be a
member of a bona fide union, even
when employed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
Intolerance is the crime of the
ages.
It has led to the crucification of
the prophets—by the churches and
the “better element.”
QUIET MEETING
The Ketchikan Commercial Club
had a “quiet meeting” the last week
of June when they appointed a com
mittee to communicate with the
Bureau of Fisheries with the view
of securing the temporary with
drawal of the regulation which re
quires a 25 foot opening in all
traps.
It will be remembered that during
the consideration of the White Fish
Bill, the Ketchikan Commercial Club
went on record opposing the regula
tion of the trap system. This would
be voice of the people of the Terri
tory again is opposed to a regulation
which will compell the absolute clos
ing of the fish traps.
The construction of the floating
trap is such that it will not be pos
sible to comply with the law. It
is rather difficult to see how these
traps can be constructed to comply
with the law. But inasmuch as the
regulations are now in force it is
to be hoped that the department
will rigidly enforce the regulation.
We have watched the operation of
fish traps for many years and it is
our observation that the trapwatch
man’s home is put on top of tlie
trap for the explicit purpose of
evading the law. That they allow
the trap to operate in violation of
the law and when a strange boat is
seen approaching there is much rush
ing around on the trap anti by the
time the boat gets up to the trap
it is, legally speaking, closed. Prac
tically speaking it is still fishing
from the observation and knowledge
of fishermen. With the 25 foot re
quirement it will be practically im
possible for the trap watchman to
lush around and fool the deputy fisn
warden and therefore it will be of
the greatest benefit to the industry
that this regulation be not tempor
arily withdrawn.
This rule has been on the statutes
since 190C> and the packers have
been aware of it but they never
made any effort to construct a trap
that would comply with the law.
Now that the law is to be enforced
they desire further time to change
the construction of the trap. They
have delayed the enactment of any
law for the conservation of the in
dustry and now they desire the fur
ther delay in actual conservation.
It is to be hoped that the Buieau
cf Fisheries will see to the rigid
enforcement of the law.
At a meeting of the Republican
Club of Anchorage, Harry I. Staser
denounced William L. Paul for cei
tain political sins and declared that
he had to be put out of business.
To do that, the legislature had to
adopt a litercv test bill. The Club
then appointed a committee to “in
vestigate” the question and appoint
ed Harry to do the investigating.
That is what we call “Fair play.”
★ ★ ★ ★
If Harry I. Staser ever had an
idea of his own, he did not display
it during the 1923 session of the
legislature. He always voted with
the other reactionaries, Joseph H.
Mur lay, Tom Price and Frank Fos
ter. As a reward for his “single
mindedness” the Governor got him
his present job of Deputy Marshal
at Anchorage. It pays to be a leg
islator providing you know on which
side your bread is buttered.
