A FIXK TKSTIMOXIAIi
The re-election of Judge Bunnell
as President of the Alaska Agricul
tural College and School of Mines
by the unanimous vote of the Board
of Regents was a fine testimonial to
j the efficiency and ability shown by
that educator in organizing anl
conducting that institution, says the
Juneau Empire. The motion that
he be re-elected was made and sec
onded by the two members who had
voted against him in the first in
stance.
The obvious conclusion is that
those who know believe President
Bunnell is making good as the head
of the only school of higher educa
tion in Alaska just as he made good
on the Federal bench.
The Territory was very fortunate
in securing this eminent Alaskan to
direct the laying of the foundation
of its first college.
A.»IATEIrli RADIO OPERATOR
lAAJILK SERIOUS CHARGE
14 Year Old Juneau Boy Said to
Be Responsible for Sending
Out S. O. 8.
An S O S distress signal and
other messages sent out from an
unlicensed amateur radio set In
Juneau, and picked up by the local
radio station and the IT. S. Coast
Guard Cutter TTnalga at intervals
from 6:30 until 7:35 o’clock recent
ly, was tihe cause of the arrest of
an amateur operator. 14 years of
age, by the city police last night.
The boy is liable to punishment of a
fine of $2,500 and two years’ im
prisonment for sending out an S O
S sdgnal without cause and a fine of
$500 for operating without a license,
ir .the charge is pressed by the De
partment of Commerce.
thief nr Police t. k. Keegan
was informed from the local wire
less station that the SOS signal
and other messages were being sent
out by some amateur station. The
signals and messages interfered
with the gtatio-n, which was operat
ing at the time. At the same time
it was learned the SOS signals and
other messages had been picked up
by the Unalga. Chief Keegan got in
comunication with officers on the
Unalga and shortly after the boy
who is alleged to have been respons
ible was arrested. The set whicih he
is said to have operated is crudely
constructed and has little power.
Chief Keegan said.
"The offense Is serious and I can
not state what action will be taken."
Chief Keenan said.—Juneau Empire
ESKIMO COMMUNITY
IS SELF GOVERNED
Natives of Point Hope Anticipate
Prohibition by Three Years.
An unusually interesting stor> of
a self-governing Eskimo community
at Point Hope. Alaska, was brought
to public attention recently by the
Rev. William A. Thomas. Episcopal
missionary at Point Hope, when he
returned to his headquarters in Chi
cago. In his report Mr. Thomas
states that, under the tutelage of
been established among the Tigara,
who annually, in town meeting, elect
from themselves the Omalik. or
council of leading men. who in turn
make the local laws and see to their
enforcement. These natives of the
frozen North even have their own
prohibition law. which they adopted
three years before the prohibition
amendment was put through In the
United States. Their venture in
self-government was undertaken six
years ago. after the breakdown of
the autocratic rule of a tribal chief.
In speaking of the Omalik. Mr.
Thomas said
“Originally, this body was com
posed of seven men. but it was
found later that five was a better
number. From the beginning of
the experiment the right of suffrage
was given to men and women alike
In the selection of the council.
Christmas was fixed as the day of the
election, because on that .day all of
the tribesmen come into the settle
ment for feasting and merry-making
and we are able thereby to get the
fullest expression of the sentiment

I of the people. The names are writ
ten on a blackboard, and the five
obtaining the greater -number of
votes are declared elected, while
that one of the five who receives
the greatest number of votes become
the chief councilman. Because of
the fact that the Eskimo is singul
arly orderly and law-abiding, the
work of the Omalik is largely confin
ed to the enactment of routine muni
cipal regulations. There are no
police and no courts. I could cite
many quaint illustrations of the
manner in which Eskimo self-gov
ernment works. For example, the
Omalik has a regulation against any
gossips. Any person, male or fe
male. found guilty of gossiping, is
called before the entire community
and publicly rebuked by the chief of
th«> Omalik. A11 forms of lying are
frowned upon, but particularly by
the young. A young man caught
lying to hiis parents is sentenced to
carry a certain amount of water for
the public use. or. as an alternative,
to give a day's time to assisting some
nged pair in cleaning up their igloo
or hut.”—Exchange.
