admitted their ignorance of Alaskan
conditions and the resources of the
Territory and all a-surel him tha
they would aid in giving publicity
t.> the possibility for development
in the North. "It was a splendid
occasion and its success is largely
due to the efforts of Charles i). Gar

of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
and his assistants,” slid th- Gov
ernor.
The five days he had in Seattle,
lie said, were busy ones. He met a
number of people interested in the

Seattle 1s showing considerable at
tivity at present and conditions then
are much improved over those pre

There is little noticeable unemploy
ment. The business men there ar ■

Indians Seek "Compensation
for Alleged Disposses
sion of Rights.
D 'daring lint >‘.he Alaska Indians
have been “dispossessed of their
■els, hunting grounds. fisheries,
si nling rights and other rights" with
out compensation, the Alaska Native
M otherhood has adopted a resolution
i sking (' ingress to set aside all of
tin lease money from fox Islands
tttd part of the revenues from th
■til fisheries and fox farming on j
Pribiloff Islands for the benefit o:
the Indians. The movement we
st rted iby the Sitka camp of the or
iniz.ithin and unanimously ad.ip; -I
l>v Cite entire brotherhood, seal Wil
llatn I.. Paul, secretary of the Oran.!
Council.
The resolution declares that it has
always been the policy of the United
States to compensate the Indians fur
all lands that are taken from ta-un.
but that it has failed to do so in the
present instance. It alleges that the
India-m of Alaska "have be -n dispos
sr ot-;l of their lands, hunting|
grounds, fisheries, sealing rights anil j
ititnr rights possessed by them front!
their ancestors, until all Indians, e
pccially those of Southeastern Alt:
ha. are now suffering for the bar
meins of support"; that by the ays
ten of leases, "the UnitPil Slates
government is talking away all of out
re maining hunting grounds for fox
farming": -that the Territory, while
providing for the maintenance* of its
needy pioneers or aged by a pension
vstem. “lias expressly forbidden by
law that any help shall bo given I >
tit! needy Indians of the Territory."
If contends (hat the “United Sta- •
government In justice to these na
tive Indians of Alaska should pro
vide for the needy aged and provide
t fund for the advanced education
of the voting sine-* the Federal gov
ernment has taken away the most
lucrative source of income without
compensating the Natives as by th
British. Japanese and Russian gov
ernment a in 1he case of their pelagic
sealers."
The resolution concludes by r.
solving "that the United States gov
eminent set aside all of the lease
money received from fox islands, an I
as much of 111- income for the fur
seal fisheries as shall be necessary
for the purpose of providing for Idi ■
car- of Indigent or disabled Indians.
>tid also to provide for the high -r
il.ii ation of the young peopl - of In
I (lion descent in Alaska."
The resolution has been mailed to
I>' legate Sutherland with the request
that he draw up the necessary bill
to accomplish the desired purpose.
