2. Report of S. R. Nettleton. 
St. Pau IsLanp, ALASKA, July 31, 1890. 
DrAR Sir: I have the honour herewith to submit my annual Report of the condi- 
tion of affairs on this island during the time in which I had charge, to wit, from the 
23rd September, 1889, the date of your departure, until June of this year, and also 
to comment briefly upon the condition of the seal rookeries and hauling-grounds of 
this island during the season which closed on the 20th instant. 
I have found the natives of this island an exceedingly easy people to govern and 
control, The Government Agent in charge, being the sole representative and execu- 
tive of the law, is, as you are aware, necessarily brought into very close and inti- 
mate relations with these people, having to do with the minutest details of their 
everyday life. 
My comparatively brief experience in governing them convinces me that a policy 
of kindness with firmness, and an appeal to their manhood and womanhood, hold 
the best promise of good results, having in view their happiness and their advance- 
ment to a higher and a better civilization. 
I believe that it would be difficult to find anywhere within the jurisdiction of our 
Government any people so easy to control, considering that they are kept in enforced 
idleness ten months of each year. 
I regard their readiness to comply with any and all Rules and Regulations of this 
Office tor their government as testifying to their manhood and good citizenship. 
In this connection, it affords me great pleasure to report that during the time that 
IT have had immediate charge there have been but three instances of violation of any 
Rule or Regulation. These were mild cases of partial intoxication during their 
holiday festivities. 
There has been no drunkenness or brawling in the village streets or in the homes 
of the people, not a single breach of the peace. 
It is a source of gratification to be able to state that the journals of this Office 
show that in this regard the winter just closed presents an exception to those of any 
of the preceding twenty years.
