GO SLOW ON INDIAN QUESTION
THE Legislature should go slow and know its ground thor
oughly before taking up Indian problems of any kind. For
more than a century the Indians have been regarded as
wards of the Nation, and the people of Alaska cannot afford to
do anything that will give Uncle Sam any excuse to shunt his
guardianship duties toward Northern natives off onto the tax
payers of this Territory. The care and education of the native
races of the North are National obligations, and they must be
performed by the Nation. It recognizes its duty in the prem
ises and has the machinery through which to perform it. Let
us permit that machinery to work. The white people of this
Territory have many problems of their own to solve, problems
that if properly cared for will sufficiently tax their resources.
The list of those who come to the aid of the school board in
its laudable undertaking to build a school house in Juneau will
be an honor roll, and a place on it should be sought. Do not
wait to be asked for aid. See or call up Senator H. T. Tripp, Mr.
Willis E. Nowell or Mr. H. J. Fisher, members of the school
board, and offer them the use of what credit you can afford to
give. It will never cost a cent and it will be a public service.
OMAHA'S SAD PLIGHT
THE result of the tornado that has destroyed hundreds of
lives and ten millions of property in Omaha has shocked
the whole nation, and the sympathy of a. great-hearted
people has been extended to those of that city and elsewhere
that are in distress. Their plight is pitiable, though it is one
that many have looked for. The thought that great suffering
would result if one of those terrible cyclones that frequent the
Mississippi valley should strike a large city has been one that
often has caused people to shudder. Many small* towns have
been almost completely destroyed by them, and once before a
large city?St. Louis?was struck, and 'there, as in Omaha, the
destruction of buildings was followed by fire. Relatively, Re
gina, in the Canadian Province of Alberta, was damaged more
than either of the American cites have been. But such thoughts
as these do not make lighter the burden that is Omaha's. The
people of that stricken city are entitled to the sympathy and aid
that is being freely given.
The institution of an Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska at
Juneau will have a tendency to strengthen the ties that bind
Southeastern Alaska to the remainder of the Territory. This
is an order that was founded in the newer sections of Alaska,
and it is a matter for congratulations that the movement to
unite the older pioneers of the Territory's capital city with those
that have conquered the more difficult conditions of the farther
North has met with such a hearty response.
MAKE JEFFERSON'S BIRTHDAY A HOLIDAY
i
BEFORE passing the Millard legal holiday bill the Legislature
very properly amended it to make the birthday of the Great
Emancipator Lincoln a holiday for school purposes. Other
States have made Lincoln's birthday a legal holiday, and it has
been a just recognition of one of the greatest characters of the
world's history. Now, there should be one more amendment
adopted. April 13th?Jefferson's birthday?should be included
with the 12th of February. Had it not been for the wisdom
and foresight of Jefferson the United States would never have
had a foothold on the Eastern ocean. His purchase of Louisiana
gave his country the west bank of the Missippi river, and his
Lewis and Clarke expedition extended its claims westward to
the shores of the Pacific. Had this Western expansion of a
century ago not taken place, the United States would not have
had any use for Alaska, and there would not* have been a leg
islative body of Americans in session at Juneau. The fact that
no other Western State or Territory has honored Jefferson in
this way makes the obligation on the part of Alaska to do so
greater rather than less.
The House of Representatives passed its third bill yester
day?the Shoup juvenile court bill. The woman suffrage bill
and the compulsory educational bills had already been passed
by the House. Mr. Shoup, therefore, has the credit of author
ship of the first three bills to receive the approval of the branch
of the Legislature of which he is a member.
The Socialists have determined to do their part toward
adding some spice to Juneau's municipal election.
With more than twice as many candidates in the field as
there are offices to to fill the Juneau voters will have no difficulty
in selecting competent officials to keep the municipal ship of
state in safe waters.
The farther we go along with the new administration the
more clearly is it being demonstrated to us that its policy will
be Alaska for Alaskans.
RUBY DISTRICT
LOOKING BETTER
Ninety-six dollars to the pan?
picked dirt?reported to have been
produced on a Long creek lay that bad
been thrown up by Pierce and Lynn.
'Ten- and fifteen-dollar pans are
common. C. K. Snow, of Ruby, writes
to Senator Sutherland, "and the boys
will make big money."
Henry and Miller, operating on the
"Sly Ann" fraction adjoining "Windy"
bench claim on Long creek, are mak
ing good inonyed according to Mr.
Snow.
Dr. Moore and his partner have just
to be used in their operations.
E. Coke Hill and Charlie Hoxie were
out on the creeks recently. They are
jubilant over the outlok.
$61.50-nugget was found at the
mouth of "Fourth of July" creek, and
there is some very rich dirt on this
creek. God pay has also been found
on Bear pup and on the "Mascot"
fraction.
The postofflce at Rumy handled $65,
000 in money orders between Nov. 5
last and Feb. 22 of this year. Ruby
and the tributary creeks together have
a population of about 1,000.

GOLD IS SHIPPED
VIA PARCEL POST
Among the first to take advantage of
the new parcel post regulations was
the Miners' & Merchants' bank of this
city, which sent out a consignment of
gold this week said to approximate in
value $35,000.
It is claimed that the low grade of
Insurance and postage .charged by the
government makes the shipment of |
gold by this means the most econmical |
yet available, and many operators and
others are likely to take advantage of i
the innovation next season.?Tditarod
