Alaska sentinel., 1903-03-05

Grouse have been hooting for more than a week, and our hunt CTS are pricking up their ears and cleaning their old bowling pieces.
 Just keep cool, bequiet and don't get excited about the mill. 1t will start in due time, through proper agencies; and perhaps on a more satisfactory basis through the opin ions of the few than the many.
 Cleaning up house, yards and streets appears to be the order of the day in some portions of town. It should become general, not only for looks but in the interest of the health of the town.
 H. Stuart Brindley, of Seattle, a mining promoter, well known in this section, came up last week and with John Sales, took a trip over to Prince of Wales and up Duncan canal, returning to Seattle on the City of Seattle.
 The Cottage City arrived up from the south at ? a. m. yesterday, un- loaded good batch of mail, 17 tons of freight, and left at 4 a. m. Capt. Sears says this will be the last trip of the "Old Reliable" the Spokane to take her run.
 After an absence of about six weeks, M. R. Rosenthalo reached home by the Cottage City yester. day morning, looking quite well for his vacation. A good billiard table had preceded him and is run ming full blast at the U. s.
 Judge A. K. Delaney, an old time Alaskan, and a leading atter- ney of Juneau, has been in town since Sunday on business connect ed with the Wilson and Sylvester estates. The Judge is sound on one proposition: that while we should have territorial organiza- tion, it should embrace only south eastern Alaska-for instance south of Mt. St. Elias-so far as we are concerned.
 The coal strike below has almost caused coal famine in Wrangell, though J. G. Grant, the coal man, is doing his best to keep people comfortable. He expected a good supply up on the Farallon, but it did not come; he persuaded that ship to let him have ton, howev- CT, on her return from the north. AS the strike has been called off, a good supply is expected on the Dirigo, and the Seattle will bring several tons on her next trip.
 SENTINEL takes it back; there was only 1SS pounds of that Schilling's Best that passed along here going to Ketchikan last week instead of "19O" pounds. It came back on the Farallon and brought with it whole consignment of Armour's canned goods all in one lump. Malone and Roberts are travelling together again and we can say they are the whole push in their par ticular lines.
 MT. A. T. Bennett, well and fay orably known at Wrangell, having been employed in the mill for over six years, came up with the remains of Capt. Wilson and stopped off here to attend the funeral and visit friends a few days. He has been in a cedar mill at Fairhaven, Wash, but being unable to work in the cedar wood and dust, will prob ably go to Juneau to accept a job proffered by Mir. Jorgensen. We are all glad to see Mir Bennett.
 Seven of the crew who are to help build the Lincoln Rock lighthouse came up on the Dolphin, and Tuesday the Antelope took them and their supplies, apparatus, etc., down to their camp, which is about two miles from the Rock, on Etolin Island. They expect the contractor MT Caskeek up in short time, and possibly Mir. Worth, the government engineer. It is hoped they will be more successful with the work this year than last,
