TIME T OMOVE THEM.
(Anchorage Times. 1
There is the nope that the calamity
v\h'ch recently befe] the na; ives along
Ttho Bering Sea coast when they were
washed from their homes by a tidal
wave, will speed the plans of the
♦Office of Indian Affairs to move its
•charges from that inhospitable region
ito a more desirable location in the
.Interior. For some time past there
thas been talk of establishing the
•coastal natives in the Stony river
•district, where there is timber for
•comfortable cabins and abundance of I
jgame for food, and fairly good trap
ping areas when furs are plentiful.
Almost any locality away from the 1
istormawept Bering coast would im
prove the condition of the aborigines
who are now scattered over the low,
(flat country north of the mouth of the
-Kuskokwim river, many of them liv-i
ing in the ground under conditions j
tthat almost beggar description. It is I
.a waste of money and effort to at
ttempt to do anything for them so
long as they remain where they are,
-exposed to the full fury of the ele
ments, but they might become less of
ji liability if they could be indhced to
imove inland, away from the danger
•of flood and the constant menace of i
ffamine and disease. I

POWER ISSUE TO BE MAJOR
QUESTION COMING CAMPAIGN
! WASHINGTON.—A group consist—
i ing of 15 Senators.and 22 Represents^
. tives, representing both the Repub-.
I lican and Democratic parties, issued
! a joint declaration .yesterday saying .
l the power question will be the major
issue in the fall campaign and that
I the “power trust” is trying to influ
ence the nomination of presidential
candidates. The statement was .issued
through the National Popular Govern
i ment League.
Speaking of presidential possibili
' ties, the statement said if President
i Hoover is re-elected he would , remain
i “a power trust president.”
Garner and Roosevelt are consid
ered favorable to public development
■ of power. Smith is regarded as diffi
» cult to classify on the issue. Gov.
• Ritchie of Maryland is considered to
■ differ from Hoover only in 'party
labels as regards banking and public
’ utility interests. I
COUNSELS SMALL
TOWN ADVERTISING
Commenting; on the depression, one
of the country’c greatest publicists
: counsels merchants and dealers every
i where to advertise, including those in
. the smaller communities possessing a
local paper. Continuing, he says:
j “In many places, notably the small
. er communities, the newspaper is
; having a hard struggle for existence.
!It may be a live sheet, ably edited,
• but the local merchant in many in
■ stances feels that “everybody knows
- him” and that it is not necessary to
i advertise; that he “does about the
; same amount of business anyway.”
“He fails to appreciate what it
' means to Jus community to spread
. the news abroad of its doings, of its
achievements and of its opportunities
for business and newcomers.
“Every new family drawn to the
' community means at least $1,000
! more spent in that community yearly.
1 Every merchant gets his share of it.
| “In supporting the newspaper by
: advertising the merchant both .hejpf*
in his own trade and encourages en
1 terprise on Hie part of the publisher, *
and the greater publicity given the
' town and district the more rapid the
1 growth.
The local newspaper is the chamber
1; of commerce and publicity bureau
j combined. It should have the support
j of everyone, to the end that the great
est amount of good may -be accoro- .
! plished. Thousands of dollars’ worth 1
| of free advertising is given away ev
ery year by the local newspaper.
Every little thing is boosted, and peo
’ pie abroad .are told what .a line place
your town is.
“Only in advertising can the local
newspaper find reward for its effort*.
The subscriptions do no more than
I pay for the cost of publishing and de
| livering the paper.
“In supporting the paper by adver
j tising the merchant is contributing'
| not only to the relief of business de
pression and to his own direct benefit
| but to the future of the community.**
In the Probate Court for the Bethel
Precinct, Fourth Division, Territory
of Alaska.
