"Your letter of January 4 to the commanding officer
asking for particulars concerning your son's death came yes
terday and was given to me.
"Aubrey, joined the company just before the Chateau
Thierry fighting. I was in command of the company then
and continued in that position until after the armistice, so I
knew him very well.
"During all the fighting Aubrey did his part well. He
' was afraid of nothing and the others all looked up to him.
I do not remember a time that I met him that he was not
smiling, no matter how trying and terrible the conditions.
He was a friend of everyone; everyone liked him.
"In Bellau Bois, which is north of Verdun about 20 kil
ometers, the Bosche put over a small counter attack on Oc-
tober 28 and drove back some of the men from another com-
' pany who were trying to hold the line. The companies were
very small there, so small that a battalion was not as strong
as a full strength company. I went to where our battalion
was staying in support, and called for volunteers to help in
getting the old line back again. I was nearest our own com
pany at the time and Aubrey was the first man to reach me
with his chauchat (French automatic) ready. In a few min
utes we were rushing the line, Aubrey beside me. A ma
chine gun bullet struck him and. he dropped. I could not
stop then, but just after the affair was over and the line
retaken, 1 went back to look for hirrt and found him lying
where he had fallen with a bullet hole through his chest.
As the fire was too heavy there he was not buried until two
days later, when Chaplain Rollins and Father O'Connor of
the regiment buried him with prayers in a little cemetery
near where he had fallen.
"Your son was a brave man and besides my knowing
him well, he attracted my special attention on several occa
sions by his action under fire. I should have promoted him
had he only come through this action. He was cited in orders
three different times for bravery in action.
"Aubrey was a straightforward, brave little man at all
times, and I feel that J cannot praise him too much. I have

To the many opinions as to what
is the matter with Alaska is now
added that of E. A. Sherman,
assistant forester, who was sent
to Alaska early last summer by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
on a special mission ot investiga
tion. Mr. Sherman's conclusion
is that the same thing is the mat
ter with Alaska as with the rest
of the world that it "is suffer
ing from nothing more than its
share of the world-wide hard
times." Indeed he finds that all
of its industries are faring at
least as well as the same indus
tries elsewhere.
The recent decline in popula
tion, which has caused some dole
ful comment, Mr. Sherman ex
plains, has not greatly affected
the native-born white population.
Of the loss of 9457 during the
decade, 6377 was of foreign-born
whites, 1326 of native-born whites
1153 of Chinese and 601 of Jap
anese. "Everybody I met on my
visit," says the forester, "was
worried about the territory ex
cepting the people who live
there."
This is reassuring, if not very
constructive. The territory doubt
less must wait with the rest of
the world for the resumption of
activity which will make practi
cal demands upon its rich resourc
es of mineral deposits, of fish
and of timber and .make possible
the development of the latent
new industry of raising reindeer
for the market. Eventually the
means of communication, the ad
vantages of well-ordered commun
ity life and the machinery of gov
ernment must receive vigorous at
tention if the region is not to lie
dormant. It Is a good time to be
getting ready for action.

Editor Statesman: I am sur
prised that nothing has been said
about the action of some commis
sion In deciding to remove Mr.
and Mrs. Gilbert from tho state
boys' industrial school. As a wo
man I am glad to see that one
state official opposes the change
for which no one has ever given
a reason of any sort whatsoever
All who. have ever visited the in
dustrial school and become at all
acquainted with the work Super
intendent and Mrs. Gilbert arG
doing with the 10 boys give it
the highest commendation.
It seems it has been decided
that the school should be run on
the cottage or seggregation plan,
and that is given as the only rea
son for a change in management.
To bring this into operation an
expensive commission travels all
over the east to visit industrial
schools and bring back a new man
and his wife, as though this were
a new idea. Now, what are the
facts, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert have
been advocates of seggregation
and in fact have seggregated the
older and the younger boys. Mr.
and Mrs. Gilbert were trained in
the same Iowa industrial school
at Eldora where the proposed new
superintendent and his wife come
from. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert live
in the same building with the boys
ana ne gets stouu a year and
Mrs. Gilbert gets 1600, or $2100
a year. Tne new suoenntendent
who has been chosen and his wife
are to get $5000 a year. At pre
sent I am informed he gets $2500
a year, and bis wife is not em
ployed. A home is to be built for
them when they come to Oregon
that will cost several thousand a
year for upkeep. Is this a fair
proposition?
Governor Olcott has come out
for cutting down expenses in ev
ery department. The site selected
we understand was at first severe
ly condemned by Dr. Steiner as
unfit because it has the tubercu
losis institution on one side of it
and the asylum cottage farm just
beyond where insane patient3 and
convicts are worked, and the old
reform school is to bo used for a
home for dope fiends. The site
is also condemned by the report
of a federal official who makes
a special study of reformatory
wor kfor boys.
Why have they changed over in
favor of the condemned site? Is
the commission afraid that the
architecht will not get his $15,
000 fee on the new building if
it is not rushed through before
the next legislature? If thev
wish to evonomize why do they
not keep Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert and
build one or two bungalow cot
tages and try seggregation on Its
merits It may work well here
and it may not. One thing is cer
