4LHSE4 SENTINEL.
THURSDAY, APRIL Is, 1903.

The real future of Wrangell de- pends largely upon the mines back of 1t. If they shall prove paying to a degree of certainty, then the future of the town is in deed bright, for it will become one of the very best in the northwest. But the citizens of the town cannot afford to sit down, quietly fold their hands and wait for the de- yelopment of these mines. They know to almost an absolute certain " that the ore is in the ground in paying quantities and what is re- auifed to uneaith it is push, ener- gy and united action, so that capi- tai may be attracted thither. Na- ture has done much for our little town. She has given us the pret- tiest townsite in Alaska, covering several sections In extent, all lElh9 beautifully; she has given Us by far the safest and best harbor to be found between Dixon's Entrance and Unalaska; she has provided at our very door streams of the purest sparkling water; she has given Us  the most equitable climate on the northwest coast;-in fact Nature has done all she can for the town, And now the question arises have the people taken every advantage Of these natural provisions, or are they going to do so, now that they have the opportunity? We shall see in the near future.

It seems that we inland folks are not to get that cable. The route mapped out for is from a point near Fort Lawton, Seattle, through strait of Fuca, west of Vancouver island and Queen Charlotte islands in deep water, to point of Cape Ommaney, which is the extreme southern end of Baranoff island. on which the town of Sitka is situated. At Cape Ommaney the cable will branch into two sections, one of them leading to Sitka, on the west. and the other to Juneau, on the east. As business proposition for Uncle Sam it looks a little strange, as the line virtually cuts off about one-half its business by cutting out Ketchikan, Wrangell and other points en route by the inside pass age. But then MT. Greedy proba- ply knows his own business.

The presbyterz Of Southeastern
 .4ldskd.


 The Presbytery of Southeastern Alaska convened at the Wrangell Presbyterian Church Friday morn ing April 3rd. There were present Revs. Carl, of Hoonah, Marsden, of Saxman, Montgomery, of Howkan, Waggoner, of Klawack, Harrison, of Haines, Condit and Jones, of Juneau, Corser of Wrangell, and Elders Mcintosh of Haines and Young of ketchikan. Reys. Young and Thompson were among the visitors.
 All the churches in the Presby- tery were represented except Sitka,
 The business sessions continued during Friday and Saturday.
 Reports from the different churches were read. The increase in mem- bership was not as large during the past year as during the preceding. The Wrangell klinkett Church showed the largest increase in membership of any of the churches; the Skagway church reported the largest gifts to foreign missions. Morning prayer meetings were held at : a. m. They were led by Rev. Corser of Wrangell, Elder Mcintosh and Rev. Harrison.
 The features of the Presbytery were the popular meetings, The first one was on Friday evening, Rev. Condit preached and Rev. Marsden of Saxman gave an ad- dress on Industrial Work among the Natives. His address was the feature of the Presbytery; and judging from the standpoint of those who have come in contact with the Indian, a most fair indict- ment of a large part of industrial teaching as found in the Indian schools.
 Rev. Jones read a paper on the requirements for successful work in the ministry. His motto was: Trust and you will find people trustworthyn
 On Sunday evening Rev. Harri- son preached. He held the atten- tion of the audience closely for fortv-fve minutes. His theme was Spiritual Power" and the sermon did much good,

What are the people going to do at the meeting Friday evening on the matter of incorporation? Ev- ory citizen and property holder especially should be there and have his say either for or against the proposition. The SENTINEL believes the town should incorporate, for reasons stated before. The paper does not expect to reap one cent pecuniarily except through the gen. eral increase in public business We feel would come to the town thro' incorporation; and We believe this is the way every man feels who ia yors the move. Let Us come toge- ther Friday evening, discuss this question good-naturedly, and if the majority say incorporate, well and
 good; if they say mo-" so be it.

President Roosevelt and party are now speeding across the conti- nent toward the Pacific coast, and the president is telling the people along the route many plain truths, that, coming from a man whom they honor and respect, should have a good effect. The president Is a warm friend of Alaska, and our regret is that he cannot visit the district while on this tour. He will make circuit of 14,0O0. Of course it is presumed he will keep his eye peeled for a vote or two while he goes along.

The UrangeH Drug Co.
Gosh! The Ignorance!

Not long since Fred Stackpole sent an order to a Chicago house for some goods, and received the following reply under date of Mar. 30th:
 We desire to acknowledge re- ceipt of your order and remittance as below. We have to advise you that during the past year We have found that our DOMESTIC business has increased so rapidly and to such an enormous extent that our entire organization and facilities are taxed to the utmost in taking care of the same. We therefore find ourselves compelled to decline further orders from FOREIGN coun- tries. We thank you for your kind consideration and favors ex- tended in the past, and if at any future time we decide to enter the Foreign trade, we shall be pleased to enter into communication with 1 you"
 The above is a fair sample of the knowedge possessed of this coun- try by at least 19-20ths of the peo- pie and business men, who, if they would study the history of their own country, would find that since 1861 the stars and stripes have fioated over Alaska as proudly as over any other part of American soil. We are becoming tired of be- ing dubbed Foreigners" by our people, and further are sorry that our people are so ignorant regard ing their own country.

THE GAME LAW.

Here is true statement of tie game law as taken from the Treas ury Decisions of March 18th, kind ly furnished by deputy collector Bronson It says:
 "The effect of the provisions found in section 1 of the act of June 6, 1902, may be stated as follows;
 l. To leave the natives in full possession of their former rights to capture fur-bearing animals, except that they are prohibited from sell ing or shipping the skins of large brown bears, sea lions, and walrus, which animals are placed on the game list.
 ?. To permit natives to capture game (large brown bears, sea lions. and walrus included) for their own Us St any time. as heretofore, pro yided the skins are not sold or shipped.
 3. To permit natives as well as whites to capture black bears at any time, and for any purpose. since no close season is fixed for these animals.n
 The Secretary of the Treasury says the above conclusions are reached after consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, who has carefully considered the matter, and by whom the Alaska game law is chiefly administered and adds; In view of the privileges which have heretofore been granted to na- tives to enable them to obtain ami mals for food or clothing, l urgent ly recommend that no unnecessary restrictions be made in the case of fur-bearing animals, as the animals constitute one of the most impor- tant means of support of the na- tives, and if it is cut off the effect must necessarily be disastrous"

Under date of January "A, comes this report from Nome: Nome is a closed town. Not card is dealt nor a wheel turned in the whole city. It is the first time in it's his tory that such a condition has ob- tained, for gambling has been con- ducted ever since Nome became a camp. Notices were served during the past week on all gamblers that they must close. The action was taken pursuant to instructions that were received by the last mail from Washington. The new order ere ated consternation in the ranks of the sporting fraternity, as might readily be expected. The gentle men of the green cloth feel that snap judgment has been taken.- They are left without a means of livelihood and feel that great hard ship will result before navigation again opens. Another effect of the new move will be the depletion of the city's revenues. Thousands of dollars have annually been con- tributed into the city treasury as a result of the wide policy. The closing of the town will be felt in more ways than one.

TURFMEN THREATEN
Matt Gallagher Declares That the
State Agricultural Society Will
Be Forced to Quit.
Says It Has No Right to State Prop
erty and Cannot Conduct
a Fair There.

This Is probably the last fair that
will be held on state property by the State
Agricultural society,""
So says Matthew Gallagher, attorney
for the organization Of race promoters
which has been trying for the past year
to get the fair grounds for summer race
meetings. The managers Of the agricul-
tural society refused to give it up and
last, winter the turf men had a bill in
troduced compelling the authorities to
lease them the fair grounds in the sum-
mer and permitting pool selling while their
races were in progress. A storm Of public
Indignation killed the bill, and it's pro-
moters swore vengeance. ISL. g. e.
This agricultural society has no right
to use state property" declares Mr.. Gal
1agher, land they can be compelled to
vacate on order to show cause. One
will probably be applied for this winter,
and by next fall it will be settled that
it cannot have the free use Of the grounds,
which belong to the state. Neither are
they entitled to any appropriation. The
act passed last winter makes no differ
ence. You cannot make a private cor
poration a state institution just by saying
so. The state government has no control
over the agricultural society, and its gov
erning board Is chosen entirely outside
Of any constitutional body. It is private
corporation, and the courts will say sc
just as soon as they get chance"
| Members Of the State agricultural so.
cfety have no fear that the conduct o.
| the fairs will be disturbed by any sucf
proceeding as Mr.. Gallagher threa tens
| They say that in every sense the society
| is representative Of the people of thu
state, and Is responsible to the legislature

SKIM MILK FOR SICK
Inspector Mccall Finds the City Hos
pital Milk Supply Far Be-
low Standard.
New Dairyman Arrested as a Result
of the Test-Predecessor
Was Fined.

w. D. Mccall, inspector of bread and
milk in the city department Of health,
has discovered for the second time this
summer that the patients at the city hos
pital are not getting milk which Is up
to the standard demanded by the depart
ment and has sworn out a warrant for
the arrest Of Martin Nelson, the nilkman
who has had the concession at the hos
pital.
month ago John Nie1nann, who had
been delivering milk exclusively at the
city hospital for several months, had oc-
casion to submit samples of his goods to
Mr.. Mccall, and the result was he was
fined for selling milk Of a quality below
that demanded by the department, and
incidentally he lost his trade with the
hospital.
| Martin Nelson began delivering milk
at the hospital Aug. 1. This morning
Mr.. Mccall met him at the hospital, took
eight samples from the cans he was de-
| 4ivering and found that they averaged
| 20 points below the; standard set by the
department.. The warrant was thereupon
sworn out. .. .,.a
The health department maintains that
| If any portion of the Minneapolis public
must be served with milk which meets
the requirements for richness, it is the
| patients at the hospitals, and Mr.. Nc
| Call is exercising unusual care in seeing
that they get what they should.
The city certainly should not pay a
good price for skim milk for it's sick y
lis his comment. H.. s.,..s. II.

TICKETS TO CAMPUS
Seniors Are Selling Admissions to
gu" Campus to Registering
Freshmen.
The Old License to Study Hold.
Up shelved for This
Year.

University seniors have found a new
form Of amusement to while away the
hours until classes are called next Tues
day. Instead of inducing the unsuspect-
ing freshmen to buy a license to study as
in former years, the senior now prevails
upon him to purchase q campus ticket"
which entities him to admission to the,
university campus.
Now that the, memorial fence has been
completed the grounds have much more
the appearance Of being a private institu-
ton and it Is not at all difficult to per-
suade the green youngster that a ticket OF
admission is essential The gruff and
burly 1904 man at the gate stopping every
freshman and forcing a ticket upon him,
affords vast anus ment for the crowd.
Many Register To-day.
Owing to the announcement that regis
tration would not commence until to-day,
yesterdays enrolment was less than 200.
This morning, however, a line Of appli-
cants was maintained until the office
closed for the noon hour, 1876 students
being registered this morning.
Most of the applicants have been fresh
men and the Indications are for larger
delegation of frst-year men than ever
before. Most all Of the upper class men
will delay registration until the latter
part Of the week or Monday.
Medical School, TOO.
Instead Of opening Oct. l. as has been
the case in former years, the medical
school will open next Tuesday, the same
time as the other departments.
