WHITE MAX'S CONDlCT
IS CRIME OF ALASKA
Washington, Jan. 26—One of the
most scathing arraignments direct
ed against the "white man's con
duct'" lu Alaska towards the na-1
lives ever hoard here was made in I
a report just submitted to the presi
dent and Secretary Redfield by Dr.1
E. Lester Jones, United States com- j
missioner of fisheries.
He charged wholesale and contin
ued violations of the liquor regula-'
tions; and wholesale violations oi"
the law pertaining to tlio pi-otec- ,
tion of fisheries and fur bcai'in" j
animals.
The report says that the "while
man's lack of caro and regard of
the sanctity of the home of the na
tives is the crime of Alaska.
"In many sections," he continue^'
"wives and daughters of natives aro
dishonored, and auy resistance from
the father, brother or husband is ov
ercome by either threats or briber,
of liquor.
"Wherever the white man has set-|
tied the saloon prevails. Liquor in j
the hands of the white man hsi
bad more to do with the ruination !
of the Indian natives and the Aleut j
than all other causes."
Considerable more of the report j
is devoted to this phase of the que.;- j
tion.

MANY TOURISTS ARE j
MAKING RESERVATIONS
Bearing out all predictions as to
the effect of the European war in
diverting tourist traffic to the ra
cific coast and Alaska, fifty-five res
ervations for the Alaska excursion
season >vere received this morning
5>y the Pacific Coast Steamship com
pany. Tills brings the company's
reservations for the 1915 season
close to the 200 mark, an un
precedented record for so early In
the year. Prominent eastern and ^
middle west capitalists figure heav-j
ily in the list. As the Alaska ex
cursion season does not open until
June, the number of reservations
booked by tourists shows that east
ern pleasure-seekers expect a rush
westward and ar» uot taking any
chances.
At the rate at srhich the reserva- j
• ions have been received in the last
few weeks, Hairy Brandt, general
agent Of the steamship company's |
l-assenger department, predicted this
morning that it will be difficult lo !
r&tain reservations for the South- i
eastern Alaska excursion after I
April 1. The company operates the
liners City of Seattle and Spokane
on that route.
The reservations received this
morning were made for fifteen Ne>v
Yorkers and forty Phlladelphians,
the latter comprising two parties j
of pleasure seekers that will tour
the west before making the norlh
?rn trip.
As a result of the war, eastern
tourists began to make reservations I
as far back as last August. Five
rt-eeks after the war broke out, Sam
uel R. Weed, a capitalist of New
York City, reserved accomodations
for the Southeastern Alaska tri.i,
but, although he was far-sighted,
be did not look ahead so carefully
as a party of Boston residents, who
made their reservations August 29,
iess than four weeks after the be
ginning of the military conflict. The
Bostonians reserved accomodations
for next July.
"Inquiries aro coming in at an as
tonishing rate from all Beotions of
the country," Baid Brandt recently. I
"The annual meeting of the Imperii
Council of the Mystic Shrine, which
will be held in Seattle In July, is
one of the contributing causes. Many
of those who will a.ttend the meet
ing are filing reservations for the
Alaska excursions."—Seattle Times.

Skagway tomorrow morning at *J
o'clock, with 13 passengers and 32

FXISTS OX CLAMS FOR
NEARLY TWO MONTHS
Ketchikan, Jn. 26—As the gas
boat Alert was passing Duke Is
land last week, Capt. Steers disco\
tred a boat near the beach that
didn't look just right, and found !t
<o be a gasoline eloop of about 30
feet in length, from Prince Rupert
owned by Emel Alfred Norman, .i
Swede fisherman. Investigation
showed that Norman, who was on
board at the time, had nothing to
tat, and had been on the island, his
engine having broken down, for sev
eral weeks, but Just how long the
man did not seem to know, the
hardship he had undergone having
apparently affected his memory. It
was with difficulty that he was per
suaded to go on board the Alert
and get something to eat, fearing
that someone would wreck his boat
if ho left it. At las-t, however, lir»
consented, a line was made fast to
bis boat and ho and it were brougl.t
to town. His mental condition was
looked into at once and the conclu
sion arrived at that a few days of
rest and proper food would make
him all right again. During his stay
on the island he seems to have cub
sisted on clams and crabs and such
fish as he could easily catch.
