The Cottage City came in from the north through blinding furry of snow, at ? p. m. Sunday, and an hour later was followed by the City of Seattle from the south. Both vessels had fared roughly in the gale of the night before, the Cot tage losing an anchor near the Taku and the Seastle losing two anchors trying to remain off Mary Island.

A.V. R. Snyder, who some months ago went to Alaska as deputy col- lector of customs, has thrown oif the burdensome yoke of Federal of ficialism, and again entered the newspaper field. He has just es- tablished the SENTINEL, at Wrau2ell Alaska. ''Ap cant quit the news papes business any more than ne average man can quit the use oi to- bacco; and his latest move goes to prove the assertion; "Once a print CT, always q printer" His grienis in this section wish him abundant success.-North Yamhil (Or.)

 A. V. R. Snyder, a former we'll known editor and publisher in Ore gon, late of McMinnville, has com menced publication of the ALASKA SENTINEL, at Wragell, which has a population of 500 people. MT. Snyder is a veteran in the newspap- CT business, and will no doubt make a newsy and interesting newspaper for the residents of that little city and Alaskans generally.-Dayton (Or.) Herald.
 A. V. R. Snyder, a former Oregon boy, and many years ago an em- ploye of The Reporter office, has started the publication of weekly paper at Wrangell, Alaska, named the ALASKA SENTINEL, the first number of which was issued Nov ember 20. The subscription price is $2.OO per year.-Ogle County Qllinois) Reporter.

 There is a certain class of news that does not belong fo the public, except so far as general gossip cas- ries it. The SENTINEL begs to be excused.
 Attorney Rodman left for Ketch- ikan by the Cottage. The accounts of Reid and Sylvester and Wilson and Sylvester are in the hands of an accountant and as soon as they are strengthened out, MT. Rodman will return and look further into the estate.
 The two Georges-Looker and Edson-and Elmer Prescott came sailing into port Friday evening just one day late to enjoy Christmas festivities. They tried to make it by Thursday, leaving Carter bay Sunday; but head winds held them back, besides they had to lie in shelter one day, The boys have been working hard and have a nice raft of logs in to show for their labor. They will spend New Years in town, and the first favorable wind will see them off again.
 c. H. Munro and Peter Mckay reached towu Christmas day, from Etolin Island where they have been logging. They had quite an exper- fence in getting out. The bay was frozen over and they had to impro- wise sled upon which to haul their boat for some distance over the ice. And the worst of it was they ran out of provisions, having not enough left for one hungry man when they reached port. But they were good-natured at being alive and we'll.
 The people of Wrangell are good natured and seldom complain un- less there is good reason for it; but one of these days there will be the blamdest kicking and shaking up of the old dry bones that has late ly occurred if there is not an i'm provement in mail and freight matters. It is no uncommon thing but almost regular practice for boats to carry sacks of Wrangell mail by here in going north, dump | 1t off at Juneau and let 1t get back when it can. This often causes great inconvenience, many times damage. Uncle Sam pays a good sum for carrying the mail over this route, and expects good ser. vice to all the people; and the cit izens of Wrangell should act as a unit in insisting that the careless handling of their mail cease.

Christmas day at Wrangell prov

Christmas day at Wrangell prov ed very pleasant one. The air was full of frost, but It's crispness seemed to put life in the people, and the "Merrw Christmas" greetings on every hand were spoken with a fervor that showed that all meant it. The Band was out and sere- naded few of our many business houses. As far as the reporter was able to see everyday was on their good behavior and orderly. There were plenty of turkeys and chick ems in town and there was no need of any one passing the dinner honr in hunger. The SENTINEL believes all enjoyed the day.
 The Christmas by the Sunday schools Christmas night was one of the neaest little affairs ever en- joyed in Wrangell. The Church was crowded with gathering who were deeply interested in the program furnished by the bright-eyed little children with their smiling and cheerful faces, and all carried out well their part. And the beauty of the program was it was carried through with snap rendering it less tiresome than is usual the case. There were presents for all scholars of the schools and Santa Claus swelled the list and pleased the lit- tie folks. It was good to be there.
 In the British Colonist of Victoria B. C., of Oct. 4th, 1876, handed us by T. J. Case, we find Fort Wrangel mentioned conspicuously in several places. At that time from the way the items read the Casslar country was booming, and Wrangell seems to have been enjoying her share of prosperity made possible by the richness of the up-river section. For instance, the Colonist chronicles the fact that ths steamer Glenora had arrived with 30 white passen- gers and 35 chinamen on board and reporting that the Gussie Telfair would soon be down, bringing 200 men from Fort Wrangel. Later the Gussie Telfair arrived down with 119 passengers and $150,OOOin gold dust, and the purser reported that things were brisk at Wrangell." On Oct, 3rd the steamer Grappler reached Victoria with 60 passengers and a considerable amount of gold dust. This paper of 26 years ago must indeed prove interesting read ing to old timers of thes section, who would have many familiar in- cedents and names brought to their midas.
