§ JUNEAU, April 12.—Speaking of
the people of Alaska to show that
they are ready and w illing to do their
part in the convict which now con
fronts the nation this territorial legis
lature yesterday passed the follow
ing resolution:
The legislature of the Territory of
Alaska in session assembled herewith
extends to the president of the United
States, the senate and house of repre
sentatives its approval of the passage
of the resolution “that a state of war
. exists” between the United States and
tlw German empire; and we the peo
ple of Alaska, pledge our unfaltering
support and signify our readiness,
loyally and patriotically to stand in
line with the American people in
maintaining the country’s honor and
defending the principles, of civiliza
tion.
The attitude of the people of Alas
ka is clearly expressed in the words
of our governor, spoken upon the dec
laration of war.
“This is a time in the history of our
country which calls for self-sacrifice
and devotion to those democratic in
stiutions and ideals that have been a
beacon light to the oppressed of all
nations; and now, in obedience to
those principles of right and truth
and justice, in the struggle now being
-
waged between the forces of democra
cy and autocracy, the citizens of this
great republic may be depended up
oiv-to act well their part. There
should be no division of sentiment,
but each and all, laying aside every
consideration of partisanism, should
i remember that they are called upon
to defend those great truths upon
which this republic was founded, and
should uphold and strengthen the
hands of the president and his admin
! istration in the international crisis
I that has been forced upon the coun
I try. The time for action is here, and
I am sure that the people of Alaska
I stand ready to do their part and to
i do it well. The fires of patriotism
'have been kindled anew, and Alas
| kans are ready to respond whenever
j duty calls.”

MBTI.AKATLA NATIVES
TO HAVE A CANNERY $
' (i
- ;
(Juneau Empire.)
Rev. Edward Marsden was the re
cipient of a cable yesterday from Mi. ;
Lopp, head of the bureau of education
of Alaska Natives, stating the depart-11
ment of the interior gave its approval r,
to the Smiley lease proposition. ■)
In speaking of the arrangement. M>\ j;
Marsden seemed greatly pleas* I aid j J
stated that it meant a great deal tojjj
Metlakatla. The arrangement Is that j (f
a lease of live years is granted to the! r«
Smiley canning company to tin- Met la-! a
katla fishing and canning rights, giv- I ,
ing them the privilege of building a | •
cannery at Metlakatal and fishing in a
the waters in that vicinity, which had "
been reserved for the use of the na- q
tives, and at the expiration of that £
time the cannery and works are to re- f
vert back to the natives, to belong to t
them in lieu of rental.
The cannery means a great deal to S
the natives not only because of the s
cannery eventually becoming their 5
property, but because it will give the
people of the district all the. work they
want right in their own village, being . j<
the means of keping the people at ;
home, and encouraging a lucrative in- -
dustry in their midst.
