THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE Kake-Kasaan Timber Sale Is Now Facing Fight oll_legalily' | If the proposed sale of timber by Kake and Kasaan Indians goes through, they may not be able to ship their timber from the Terri- tory. This was revealed today by {the uncovering of an Act of Con- gress, dated April 12, 1926, which prohibits exporting out of Alaskaj timber which has been taken from ! Public Lands or National Forest 'areas without the permission of | Ithe Secretary of the Department | which administers the land. { In Alaska, National Forest lands are administered by the Secertary | of Agriculture and public lands and Indian reservations are administer-; ed by the Secretary of the Interjor On this basis, until title for the lands in question has been settled, { either the Secretary of Agriculure or the Secretary of the Interior could maké a request to the U. S Customs Service to refuse clear- ance to any ship bound for the States with timber from these areas. Another phase o1 opposiiion :n‘ P%IIJA roreed vor Far FROM A /~ /II/(/”J e)//(l the sale was imtroduced by Rhein- hold Brust, Acting Superintendent of the Alaska Native Service, whu, is in charge during the absem'(‘! of Superintendent Don C. Foster,| now in Washington, D. C. for budget conferences. Brust stated' that his office has never been ad- vised of the proposed sale. ' He said it is customary to re-| quest approval for such moves| from the Secretary of the Interior through normal governmental channels beginning with ANS. Brust also explained that he did | not believe that the sale would be legal because the Kake and Kasa- an villages are attempting to sell claims rather than rights. He said that they do have some rights but that these rights have never been estaklished and that no limitations have yet been determined.

TO ALASKAN HOUSEWIVES As You KNow, most of your food, clothing, housechold supplies and furnish- ings come from Seattle and are transported to Alaska largely by steamer. The fact that cost of each of these items has increased considerably since pre-war is only too apparent. You've been struggling with the problem of meeting mounting household expenses with a relatively constant income for so long it has become commonplace, but you don’t like it, and for very good reason. Our position was exactly the same last spring— costs had advanced so greatly it was impossible for us to resume private operation without an in- crease in revenue. Rates were raised. Many feel this increase is the sole reason for the high living cost in Alaska. Let us test this conclusion by examining effect of new rates on two food items. FREIGHT ON 100 LBS. MEAT, Seattle to Juncau (Cold Storage) - 1941 cost $1.55. Today’s cost $2.70. This i8 a $1.15 increase per 100 lbs. or 5% cents for a 5 Ib. roast which retails for about $3.50 in Juneau. FREIGHT ON 1 CASE (48 CANS) MILK (50 ibs.), Seattle to Juneau 1941 cost $0.2197. Today’s cost $0.3975. This is an increase of less than 3/10 of & cent a can which costs about 16 cents in Juneau. It appears from these figures that rate increase alone is not the major con- sideration in price problem. There are many other factors. Some of those per- taining to transportation are listed below. However, revenue therefrom does not accrue to Alaska Steamship Company. Cost of moving goods from warchouse to Seattle dock. Wharfage and handling in Seattle, incident to moving cuéo overdock to ship’s sling. Marine insurance. Federal transportation tax. Wharfage and handling in "Alaska. Cartage from dock to Alaska store. ‘As stated, the above factors pertain solely to transportation aside from that performed by Alaska Steamship Company. We have not referred to local labor costs or dealer’s markup, to mention but two of the many other influ- ences on the price picture. They are not our business. But we do know and wish it to be known, although the cry-has gone forth far and wide that freight rates are the source of all Alaska’s ills, that is not the case, and we are confident 2 fair examination of the facts will lead you to this conclusion.
