Dispatches from Washington state that Congressman Wooten is working hard with the pesident on the question of Alaskan legislation and that he has called on the pres ident several times on the matter. Mr. Wooten says: What Alaska needs is, first of all, land law that will give the actual settler home stead. Next, wagon roads and trails by which the country may be opened up for exploration; and then a railroad in American terri tory; that will enable Americans to travel over their own country and bring in their own supplies at reasonable prices: The mineral re- sources of Alaska, in gold copper, coal, oil and all other mineral pro- ducts, surpass anything today known in the world, and there is a tract of country in Southwestern Alaska as large as Texas, peculiar iy adapted for stock raising, and for the production of wheat and oats.

FRANKS OF THE WIND.

Old Boreas shook his hoary locks in great shape last Friday night and made it very lively for things that were not securely fastened at both ends, and some that were. Loose boards, signs,- etc., were scattered about indiscrilninately. Capt. Wilson's big scow "Garnet, that was tied at the east end of Reeds wharf broke loose and was pounded up consid- erably before being secured. MT Svind- seth had hard time to keep his liltle launch, the 'Lorenz' from going on the rocks; other boats dragged their anch- ors, but suffered no injury. Merchant Carlyon was the greatest sufferer. The large panes in his new glass front were not securely fastened in, and two of them were forced in and broken. The front was braced, averting further trou- ble. It is said it was the fiercest gale in years.

The Pie Social.

Collins Hall was comfortably filled last Friday evening. the oc- casion being the Pie Social for the benefit of our public schools; and like every laudablc purpose in Wrangell it proved 9 great success. In advance of the sale of pies, an excellent program was rendered, which may be mentioned as fol- lows:
 Song, My Kitty,' was beauti- fully sung by nineteen little folks of the primary department.

 Leonard and Ernest Campbell are fine in dialogue, and excelied themselves in giving Mental Ar ithmetic
 Anything that brings out the stars and stripes always enthuses ah Wrangell audience, and when the primary class marched tv the front, each with flag in hand ,and sang Our Flag" they were cheer ed to the echo.
 In a monologue, His Wedding Morn,n Prof. Beattie got pretty badly mixed up, and it carried many a man back to that eventful day when he was liable to get his sock around his neck and his col- lar on his foot.
 "The Bulldog" by the male quartet closad the program.

A Good Suggestion.

MR. EDIToR:-You were right in suggesting that the burial grounds should be given some attention. Some have been talking of remov- ing the cemetery to some other quarters but it appears to me that a more suitable place cannot be found. It is a point dry for this country and easy of access by boats and would be a beautiful spot if properly cleared up and some at- tention paid to it. I am glad you have brought this matter before the attention of the public.
