SUTHERLAND MAKES PLEA
« • I
TO HOUSE FOR: TERRITORIAL
CONTROL SALMON FISHERIES
* j
WASHINGTON.—A picture of dis
tressed.-condition of Indian and. white
independent fishermen in Alaska was
• portrayed for the house Tuesday by
Delegate Dan Sutherland in his plea
- for Aiaakan control., of. salmon fish
[* eries.
, A virtual monopoly, the Delegate
I < said, has been granted to large can
1 ning interests, and this condition, he
p said,., has been resposnsible for the
| exodus of 20,000 white peoople from,
Alaska: during the last twenty years !
—one-which.-has brought abject pov
erty to the Indians, he said, and the
importation of Chinese and! Filipino
labor tq aid in fishing.
Lheo Delegate assailed, the canner
ies as depriving Indians and whites
of. almost aM opportunities to work.
Sutherland was given unanimous
consent to address* the* House- while
the War : Department bill was under
consideration and the debate swung
at once into^ a .description of Alaskan
i conditions.
Questioned by Representative Ran
kin of MMississippi and Arentz of
Nevada, Sutherland- said the remedy
for the situation is “insistence by
Congress that the fisheries be admin
tered on a fair basis for the distribu
* tion ot fish.”
The bureau of fisheries was as
sailed as “favoring” canning and
„ fishinng interests and with having
given them the “heritage of the In
dians” which they were instructed to
* project. There ara no wfewcr fish
being taken than before the conser

call in words Heard around the world,
live great naval powers consecrated
themselves anew topeafe today at
the opening sesisiori of the conference

CHASE STATEMENT CON
CERNING FUR REFUTED
SEWAK^>.—Previous figures com-’
pile don trapping licenses were con
fined entirely to Seward and Anchor
age. Even aside from Alaska Rail
road points Associated Press repirts
continue to be filed stressing hortage
continue to be filed stressing sortage
of fur.
The Seward and Anchorage figures
are correct and show a large de
crease, not an increase, absolutely re
fvt'n ga statement issued by Dr.
Chase, chairman cf the Alaska Game
Con,mission, at Cordova, in which he
said the number c*f trappers is in
creasing each year and trap lines are
overlapping. The increase of five per
cent which he mentions embraces the
whoole Territory.
In the meantime all ecffortts of
chambers of commerce, a trappers’ ^
association with 200 members, and
newspapers, are being directed in an
endeavor totain relief through the
Game Commission to open beaver
trapping for a few wees in the spring.
There has been ample time since
agitation started to make arrange
ments for opening the eason. Fail
ure to open trapping mean sa loss of
$200,000 anupg a small number of
pioneering folk along the railroad
belt. Trappers claim beaver are plen

REPEAL 18TH AMENDMENT.
WASH1GTON, Jan. 22.—Chairman
Graham of the House judiciary com
mittee announced that hearings be
fore this group would begin on Feb
ruary 12 on seven measures to repeal

BODIES OF EIELSON AND BOR
LAND NOT YET RECOVERED
No news of any moment has come
from Siberia during: the past few
days, reports generally stating that
weather has been most unfavorable,
for which reason no headway has
been made in uncovering the bodies
of Eielson and Borland.
"NUiMK.—A funeral squadron of
four planes will make the 500-mile
flight with the bodies of Eielson and
B^riand when they are found. At
the request of Alfred J. Lomen,
(Jrosson and Gillam will accompany
Reid and Young wH'’>twill carry the
bodies in the big cabin planes. When
they return Lomen asked that they
circle the Nome court house so that
sirens can notify residents that the
remains have arrived.
Lomen wired Graham Grosvenor,
president of the Aviation Corpora
tion, uggesting that Eielson, “the
father of aviation in Alaska,” be
buried in Arlington cemetery, provid
ing the Eielson family is agreeable
to the idea.
Father of Eielson En Route North.
FARGO, N. D.—Ole Eielson began
a long journey to Alaska to claim the
body of his son if and when it is
found.. He intends to bring the body
back to the Hatton, N. D., cemetery
for burial beside Ben's mqther.
Arriving last night from Hatton,
he left this afternoon for Seattle,
from which place he will sail Febru
ary 5. At Seattle he will extend
sympathies to the parents of Borland
and will be met by his daughter Ade
laide, who is teaching at Wenatchee.
Concerning Wrecked Wane.
NOME.—The fact that Eielson’s
plane was 90 miles southeast of the
JNanuk and 10 miles from the coast
indicates he overshot the Nanuk in
fog and circled over reindeer camps
25 miles south of the Nanuk while
endeavoring to find a place to land.
Finding none, he continued to retrace
the route from whence he came. He
was heard by a Russia not over 50
miles from the Nanuk going west
ward. Eiieson evidently endeavored
to fly back towards East Cape and
probably intended to reach Teller,
where it was clear when he left that
morning.
The plane’s wing evidently hit the
side of a mountain not many miles
from a small village half way be
tween Takakokogen and Cape Wan
karem.
At McGrath, during the past week,
Mrs. Ralph Anderson gave birth to
twins, thereby establishing a record
