N-RE HOSPITAL.

EDITOR SENTINEL: The question has been asked, Docs Wrangell need hos pital?" From a more or less intimate observation extending over one year it appears to the writer that it does, and sadly. We have population Of perhaps 800 souls; are the distributing center for large and important outlying dis trict that is rapidly developing; and are, we believe, destined to be of some im- portanee in the future. As individuals we are not wanting in hospitality, kind ness and charity. Yet the fact remains that, as community, Wrangell has but little to offer the i'll and injured other than spiritual consolation and fire pro- lection. Isolated as We are and to a great extent dependent on our own re- sources, we should command the best facilities for treatment when sick, just as We demand the best commodities for sustenance when in health. As 1t is only by combining our interests for mu- tual strength that we are protected from our own indiscretions, and in measure from external misfortunes, so also any movement for the betterment of com munity is best accomplished by the uni ted efforts of those to be benefited. For any considerable number of people to com bine or incorporate themselves into a unity-town-and provide for al- most every possible contingency except that which concerns them most, their health, is not only cul pablo, but extreme ly selfish. Not considering the pecunl- ary possibilities of hospital, and assum- ing every white family to be situated favorable for successful treatment when | i'll; that every household is properly adjusted for the care of its own afflicted, and that every home contains an eff cient nurse, which is far from true, we have still to remember our duty to those less fortunate. We have considered the natives as worthy of being taught the niceties of higher civilization, sic, yet when their constitutions refuse to longer stand our pace and they become Ill, VIC graciously allow them to choose between committing crime that they may be un
 der government care in the jail, anc
 shifting for themselves as best they ma!
 in some filthy shack. Many ot these
 are willing to pay for proper treatment
 which under the present condition Il
 simply impossible.
 r Wrangell does need hospital not ;
 private institution where ones purse |
 carefully inspected at the front door nor one whose benefits are chiefly foi
 those who believe as We do; but hos
 pital owned and maintained by ever,
 resident, open to any one at any time and cheerfu' fly supported by a trifilnl
 monthly ass s'essment. An institution o
 this kind would probably be seli-sup
 porting after the first year, and, voul' I certainly t Q worth while. C1TIzES.

A NEW INDU STRY.

The prediction of many that the gar net lodges near here would some day he of value aside from merely furnishing the stones for curios, is about to prove true. 4 company to be known as the Alaskan Ruby Mining and Development Co.,, has lately been organized by Chicago capitalists, with a capital stock, paid up, of sl 100000, and is is expected that ac- tive mining operations will commence early in the coming season. Harry W. Overman, who was here last summer and took such an interest in the lodges, is president Of the company, and as he is hustler, there will be something doing when operations are begun. P. A. Lewald is vice-president Oryal J. Stephenson, Secretary; Harry F. Par sons, Treasurer; and Alex Vreatt. who owns the lodges, viii be superintendent at the mines. It has been found that these stones can De cut at nominal cost, and will bring fancy prices in the markets. It is even thought that they are real rubies, and we hope it will prove true, and that the new company will be successful.

The Prof. is master of the dancing art, and his work on this occa sion elicited the applause due it.
 At the conclusion of the program the floor was cleared and dancing was in dulged in.

The Wrangell Drug Go.

Capt. B. F. Hand, of the Baker Island Mining Co.,, arrived up on the last Cot tage City. That he means business Is evidenced by the fact that he brought a force of men with him to commence de- yelopment work at the mines. The Co. also brought gasoline boat with them. to be used in knocking about.
 Robert Reid, F. L. Bronson and son, Frederick, C. |. Weber, \. J. Svindseth, Wm.

THERE WILL BE
TARIFF REVISION
THIS DECISION WAS REACHED
BY PARTY LEADERS sATuR.
DAY AFTERNOON.
PRESIDENT MAY CALL EXTRA
SESSION BUT THAT IS NOT
DECIDED YET.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-After a
two hours conference at the White
House Saturday afternoon between
President Roosevelt and nine leading
members of both houses of Congress,
the President authorized the follow.
ing announcement:
These gentlemen have come here
to discuss various matters of policy
before Congress, Including the tariff
and the Interstate and Federal incor-
poration laws. but they are not ready
yet to announce any definite conclu-
SION
The conference had been on special
invitation of the President. Those
who participated are the following:
Senator Allison, of Iowa, chairman of
the appropriations committee; Sena-
tor AldricI. Rhode Island, chair.
man of the finance committees:
Senator Spooner, Wisconsin, member
of the finance committee; Senator
Plat, Connecticut. member of the
finance committee and chairman of
the judiciary committee; Speaker
Cannon, Illinois: Representative John
Dalzell, Pennsylvania, ways and
means committee and rules commit
ties; Representative Serene E. Payne.
New York. floor leader of the MAORI
ty and chairman of the ways and
means committee; Representative
Charles H. Grosyenor, Ohio. ways and
means committee; Representative
Tawney, Minnesota, ways and means
committee, and party whip in the
lower house.
Upon the highest authority the
probable outcome of the conference
can be summed up as follows:
There viii Be Revision.
The tariff schedules are to be re-
vised
Congress may be called together in
extra session.
How great revision and when it
will be made is to be determined at
later conferences.
A joint congressional commission
of the finance and ways and means
committees may be selected this ses-
sion to sit during the recess and in
vestigate the entire subject of revi-
sion.
This decision was not formally
reached.
But those who came from the con-
ference are firmly convinced that
President Roosevelt is determined
that his party must this year stand by
the pledges made in its last national
platform.
There is very slight prospect that
the National Legislature may be call
ed together in the spring. II so, the
session will be for the express pur-
pose of considering the tariff sched-
ules-
Didn't Talk Rebates.
The President said little on the
subject of freight rebates and federal
franchises for corporations engaged
In interstate commerce, but what
slight expression he made convinced
certain of his visitors that he might
deem It essential that legislation
along these lines should be taken up
