For example, we all realize that tuberculosis is shockingly prevalent among the natives of Alaska and that heroic measures must be taken to elim- inate it; yet it is my considered judgment that if the economic condition of the natives was raised sufficiently to enable them to provide themselves with suitable houses, clothing and food and to live under sanitary conditions, tuberculosis would all but disapp It is this thought which leads me to believe that the Indian Reorganization Act, if made use of by the natives of Alaska and if sustained by ade- quate appropriations from Congress, may in the long run mean more for them than any other one thing which may be done But we must not, shut our eyes to the fact and the needless employes quietly squeezed out of the| p; Rae Lillian, Carlson, local op- {public service.

Possibly the whole truth will not be revealed by a of the wreckage found with the bodies of ngers in mountain passes, but enough in the way of enlightening evidence may be shown to throw some light on the causes of these tragedies. Perhaps there is an unwarranted defiance of adverse weather con- ditions for the sake of maintaining schedueles.

It is very gratifying to know that not only is the size of the job fully realized by the officials of the Indian Office. but that they are energetically working to accomplish he desired ends and working with an under- standing and a sympathy that augurs well for success. | The problems at hand must be solved largely by the natives themselves with such assistance and financial aid as can be readily COMMFBCIAL and SAVINGS PHONE 226 A copy will be sent you IMMED- IATELY by SPECIAL CARRIER.
