BASEBALL AT SHINNSToN.

Tn Worthington and Shinnston base.
ball teams played game at Shimston
Wednesday afternoon. The. Shinnston
team was victorious, the final score be-
ing IS to 3. Although late in the sea-
son and, in fact, after the close, the game
was very well attended. Not being able
to play football in that section, these
teams will probably play baseball all
winter.

Robert Reid lives next door to the SENTINEL office Tuesday morning the reporter heard the re- port of a gun at his neighbours and rushed out expecting that murd, r most foul had been committed, and there in his own blood and gol e lay-a monster rat. His ratship claimed the privilege of daily di- viding meals with the ducks and chickens and had paid the penalty with his life. MT. Reid fixed him out of the window with his little gun.
 The full value in weight will be paid by Vim H. Richardson for the return to him or to this office, two gold nuggets "a small and large one fastened together with links, the large one having a hole in it. Lost about Feby. 12th.

 Dispatch: "As most pronoun- ced case of stuck up pride, we mo- tice that Snyder, of the Wrangell SENTINEL, claims to have more than one pair of pants"
 It does look a little strange to a man running paper in any thing but live, progressive town, how such thing can be possible; and more than that Skimmer's pants just fit us and we claim a half interest in them.
 AS big and gigantic concern as the Pacific Packing X Navigation Co. was, that "fourished like a green bay tree" last year, it has passed into the hands of a receiver.

The SENTINEL would most re- spectfully inform the Ketchikan Journal that it is not opposed to anything which it deems will be best either for all southeastern AL aska or for the town of Wrangell. It does oppose the organization oi ALL Alaska into a territory, and it would also oppose the incorporation of the town of Wrangell at the present time, although the boast that i've are incorporated" might sound well on the outside. As a matter of fact, some towns, altho' much smaller than others, can af- ford to incorporate, because their necessary running expenses are very small; but when you come down to business proposition-as every thrifty town should do-and in striking a balance sheet find that your receipts would be $1 ,000 and your necessary expenses $20OO it is very poor business proposi- ton. Too many towns have found this out, too late, and you will please excuse us.

THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1903.

On the 25th of February con- gressman Sulzer introduced a bill in the house of representatives, en- titled "A Bill to create the Territory of Alaska and to provide for the government thereof.n The bill provides that "All that part of the territory of the United States ceded to the United States by Russia by the treaty of March 30, 1867, and known as Alaska, is hereby created into temporary government, by the name of the Territory of Alas ka; Provided, That nothing in this Act shall inhibit the government of the United States from dividing said territory or changing it's boun- daries, in such matter and at such times as congress shall deem con venient and proper" The people of Alaska certainly feel very kindly toward Mr. Sulzer for his interest manifested in their behalf in the introduction of this bill. But we of this section had much rather the changing of boundaries" pro- cess be put in working order at the start than be compelled to prune down the first thing after organiz- ing. Just drop us off at Yakutat bay (Mt. St. Elias, 140), please, MT. Sulzer.

It is now about a year to the time that president making will be in full force. It is quite likely that Theodore Roosevelt will be renom- mated by the Republicans, if he makes no mistake between now and then, although Mark Hanna is by no means asleep and many admir- CTS would like to see him in the chief executives chair. AS to who will be the democratic candidate is a mixed question. w. J. Bryan favors W. R. Hearst; but Bryan stock is likely to be at a low ebb by that time, and it would not be surprising at all if Grover Cleve- land again became the standard bearer. Be that as it may, the man will not win in the next president ial contest. It will be the princi- pies enunciated by the party that will count with the people. The money question has been effectual- ly settled and will be virtually a dead issue. It is generally conced- ed by republicans as we'll as demo- crats that there must be revision
 
 of the tariff. Many articles have been protected in their infancy that are now able to stand alone and from these the tariff must be remov- ed; and it will be done. What then, will be the lines on which the next campaign will be fought out? Two, and two only, These will be the. labor question and the policy to be pursued in dealing with the new acquisitions to the United States. Of these the labor question will stand paramount. It is very delicate question and one that is likely to be the making or unmaking of a president in the 1904 campaign. Looking at it from the present standpoint, the republi- cans have the best of it; but one word in their declaration of princi- ples may turn the tide against them. It is trifle early to fore cast but this is the way a disfran- chised Alaskan looks at it.

The mill started up last Friday, and from this time forward will go on filling orders already given and those to come in, the same as here tofore. When Captain Wilson died, it was feared that this might effect the operation of the mill that has been the main factor in the business of the town. But cool business heads found happy so- lution of affairs. Mrs. Wilson was appointed administrative with Mir. T. c McHugh, co-administrator. A. T. Bennett has been made gen. eral superintendent; Fred Wilson has his old position as yard man. ager and J. T. Wellman is still head sawyer, while the main work ing force of the mill, especially the more important positions will be filled by old and experienced hands, k. H. Lyons being chief en- gineer and Frank Goodrich head planer. All are glad to see this matter so satisfactorily settled and to know that the mill is to go right on uninterrupted. A first-class book-keeper is to be employed, so that everything will be run on gen. uine business principles.
 Regular meeting of Wrangell Chamber of Commerce next Thurs day evening.

IS NOT EXPECTED TO
 RAISE ORANGES.

In one of the hotels several days ago, a number of men were dis cussing the future of Alaska. Min eral, timber, fish-all were review ed when the theme of farming came before them. "What could a man do on an Alaskan farm?" said one of them. They all gave it up. Now all of these men have had years of experience in Alaska but it has been restricted to within a quarter of mile from the wharyes of Ketchikan, Wrangell, Juneau, Douglas and Skagway. While at Skagway they had never learned that two market gardeners were supplying the city with vegeta- bles of a superior quality, shipping them to the mining camps of the interior and making their farming pay in a manner that would sur prise the rural people of the south. They did not know that a Juneau butcher was making money at sum- mer pasturing within six miles of the city, and that at every old Russian village to the westward and along Cooks inlet cattle were be- ing raised on the open ranges of the country and that upon two of the islands were numher of wild cattle.
 Thus says the Skagway Alaskan, and the SENTINEL rises to second the motion. Southeastern Alaska is not distinctively an agricultural section; but we have seen enough right here within the confines of Wrangell to convince us that enough good, hardy vegetables grown right here to supply this market and to export. But it will take some work to begin with, and therein lies the trouble in these days of easy money-making.

 Sentinel Readers.

HOW your cOdl plIe!
 The Wrangell Drug Company's ad. appears in this issue.
 Mrs. J. F. Hamilton has been ailing for some days past.
 Owing to lack of water the mill did not run yesterday.
 Joe Nielsen left for below yester- day on the City of Seattle.
 The new machinery has arrived at the Olympic mines and is run ming full blast.
 Hooker, the Juneau rustler, is here with his samples to talk busi- ness with our merchants.
 Harry Raymond, of Juneau, a rustling clever commercial travel CT, has been in town the past week.
 In the absence of the pastor from town next Sunday evening, Prof. Beattie will conduct the servi- ces at the Presbyterian Church.
 It is James instead of George Wheeler who has leased the hotel. The reporter caught the name on a register and made the error,
 Last week Mir. J. F. Collins sold to Robert Reid his half interest in the Collins Hall building, attorney Rodman making the deal. Posses sion is to be given in sixty days.
 The Journal says Ketchikan peo- pie are getting ready to make gar dens. Pretty wet to blow; eh, Gov? But then it'll be all right for 'side-hill" blow.
 The Capella came in Wednesday of last week and remained with us Monday, when she went out in tow of the Tidings, the machinery of the little boat having gone wrong.
 Peter Iverson and Roy Ferguson from the Olympic mines, went to Hoonah by the last boat, for the purpose of taking a rest after sev- eral months of hard work.
 Petitions are out asking the P. O.. department to double the service between Wrangell and Prince of Wales Island points, and to be strictly steamer service.
 Prof. Holt of the Douglas City schools, is quite anxious to arrange a field meet between the schools of southeastern Alaska some time during the coming spring. He has written Prof. Beattie several times regarding the Wrangell school.
 Marshal Grant reached home yesterday after an absence to the north of several days. He was at Sitka last Friday and saw Bird, the condemned murderer, launch ed into eternity, and brought home the rope and belt the doomed man dropped to death with.
 Wrangell would have been in hard lines for fuel during the re- cent cold snap had it not been for the efforts of J. G. Grant. The A. P. A. Co. kindly let MT. G. have coal from the cannery and he has been bringing it around in small boats and supplying his customers.
 Beginning with the last change of the moon we have been having pretty snug weather for Wrangell, mercury being well down toward the zero mark. But today it gives promise of letting up and after this buster we may look for more set tied weather Last year the cold est weather occurred on the Sth and 9th of March, the thermometer in dicating one above zero.
 There were two fires Tuesday, but neither one did much damage further than creating an excite ment and scare and burning a few shingles off the roofs. One of them was at Adolph Engstroms, up on the hill, and the other was one of the Smith houses, occupied by Theo. Thomasen. No general alarm was given for the latter; but on the former the town and department were out in hurry. And again we breathe easier.

Congress has adjourned, and has Alaska secured anything from the hands of the honorable body? No, not even "soup." notwithstanding the fact that promises galore were made. This must certainly arouse the people to a realization of the fact that they must move for them selves. The fact is that in many parts of Alaska giant corporations have an octupus grip upon every particle of legislation that would prove remedial to the general pub lie, and only such measures as will further their particular ends can hope to pass. Therefore the only thing that remains is for southeas- tern Alaska to move solidly for territorial organization. We say SOUTHEASTERN Alaska, because the SENTINEL believes that it would be imprudent, impolitic and absurd for the people of this section to go further. Then let the N. A. T. Co.,, the A. c. Go. and the other Co.'S fight it out in western Alaska and devour each other if they will.

Now then, what are we going to do about it? We have had an in- cipient blaze, and it should set the whole town to thinking "Where will we get water in case a fire occurs in the business portion of town?" Aside from two or three business houses, where a limited supply can be had, there is no water, and if a fire should occur we would be at the mercy of the flames. The town is fairly we'll supplied with appa- ratus, and with water could put up a pretty good fight; but without water-!!
