mUleeman should be so recognized,
knowing that Lathrop would the
man.
Another Conspiracy
V he fact that Lathrop’s creden
tials were not received until after
the Republican convention adjourn
ed was due to another conspiracv
engineered by federal secretary
Karl Thiel, Customs Collector Jack
McBride and their friends. These
men had just as much information
tie day before the convention met
as they did the day after, and yet
they did not wire in the credentials.
THE REASON is this, these men
tho iglit the Alaska delegates would
not be seated WITHOUT creden
tials from the federal secretary of
A’sska, and Karl Thiel did not want

His plan was defeated by the fore

with these, our delegates were seat

years, the Committee DID NOT
meet. If Lathrop is therefore ndt
recognized, Karl Thiel, Jack Mc
Bride and their fellow conspirators
can thank themselves.
Furthermore the people of Alaska
should know how these “servants”
of the people” continue to betra/
them.

There was a time in Alaska when
everybody had plenty. Fish were
plentiful. Game fur were to be
had for the taking. A Pioneer (hon
ored name) could cut a tree of wool
or for sale to carry on. Free born
American citizens could pitch their
tents or build their log houses ANY
WHERE without paying tribute to
Ceasar now called “Forest Super
visor.”

mad quest for profits.
During all this time, seines were
also used. The record is that in all
the years when seines alone were
used, not a single salmon stream
was depleted.
Of course fences were unlawful,
Then TRAPS were invented and it
was found that a fish trap was just
as EFFICIENT as a FENCE.
Then followed many years of pros
penty while the Packers in the i
madness packed the seed fish, allow
ing no escapement.
To save this situation, the BU
REAU OF FISHERIES sought to in
cttase the escapement and prohib
ited the seiners from catching fisl
at the stream’s mouth. Salmon Ba:
was typical. One family was drivei
away from its ancient fis h i n {
ground. Henry O’Malley however
permitted the big fish trap one mil
distant to levy its tribute of 300,00
flrh.
This has remained the policy o
Henry O’Malley. Residents wit
small moveable gear must cate
their one or two thousand salmoi
he says, but foreign trap ownei
may still catch their hundreds (
thousands.
