ONE thing Wrangell needs badly and her citizens should take up the matter and work for as a unit. That is cable. With telegraphic communication we would be placed in touch with the out side world and be that much nearer civ ilization. Another thing that every shipper and every man who travels up and down the coast needs and should be deeply interested in, is the improvement of the Dry Straits. These are two things that we should all pull for-conyention or no convention, exposition or no expo- sition.

CANNED SALMON.

Ut is reported that there has been fully 7j0.0)0 cases of Alaska reds sold at 85 cents, and orders are still coming in. With such
 heavy sales by the principal packer it seems as if they will be cleaned up before long. So far as can be learned some of the indepen- dent packers are not selling for less than 95 cents and others at 92! cents. The pack this ycar is much less than has been figured on.
 Take as an instance Bristol Bay. It was claimed that the pack there would be 1, ,5OO,- 0Oo cases or more, but it is now given out that it does dot go above 100000. The pack of Alaska of all kinds is placed at 600, DUO. This is big falling of, and ought to make itself felt after the term of 1906. So far as can be learned there is very little do- ing in sockeyes. the trade confined to Alaska reds. Since writing the above Griffith-Dur- ney Co. report that they have met the Alas kl packers cut in reds and that at the re- duced prices they have made very heavy
 sales. Tie firm estimates the total pack of Alaska ct about 1,S50,000 cases. of which aoout 100000 are reds. Regarding sock 'es they say that tails are weak an can not be sold in straight lots at S1.35, but with al assorted cars of flats and halves, it can be had. This is owing to a comparatively light pack of the latter.-!S. r. Trade Journal, 2d.

THE WATER QUESTION.

Wrangell Alaska, Sept, Is, 1905.
 EpiToR SENTINEL:-After reading the arti- elss in your valuable paper regarding the proposition of a permanent water supply for our towp, permit me to say few words as a representative of those who are renting property in the town and who desire to re- main ornament citizens. Wrangell is one cf the oldest towns in Alaska, and is prac- tically without water. except seepage or as stated in your article, from the beSmeared roofs of houseS,o which is certainly not fit 10 drink We have now an opportunity of getting good water, and why not get it3 What ma. ters if il i capitalists who propose to put it in? Bel,er that than none aU all. A few prupelty holders here have private supply; but what of the general public-are they not to be considered at all, or is their presence aid their personal property of no value and worthy of no con. iteration? Our sewerage it is true, is not very extensive" but we had running water, and every property holder was made to sewer in con- necton with his buildings, those living in other cities and drawing down large.rentals every month would be compelled to add l1 tho health of the place by removing the filth from the premises owned by them thro q sewerage system. The presen. is the time. and not wait till we are old and grey. Ten fire plugs at S2 per month would mean &24e p;r year, which would not more than pay night watchm Il, and would be far safer, besides making i, possible for people to get insurance on th,ir property. Our mayor says we can save 5,e0 in three years; and in another artc!. - your paper one-half oi the license InoEty IS asked for for school purposes. How, then is anything to be say cd. ;n conclusion. lei I.e s8y that as our [ wE is bound to 70 forward, ic. Us have all t.!e advantages possible, and h. uP to date.
 Respectfully. c. DENNY.
 The SENTINEL believes AEr. Denny to be right except on one point, and that is the saving of money after booking to our school fund \ like atnonnt as that asked this year went to thc s.hools the two previous years, wheg aa the mayor says, enough WAS saved to build $4,090 school house. Ii is through fund, which, through judicious management the SENTINEL believes could be saved, that we base our hopes for the purchase by the town in three or four years of plant put in now by outside capital uE- der franchise that would allow the town to purchase the plant at any time.

FEW people in the every day walks of life ever give thought to what little judicious advertising will do for town or community. But listen; A couple of weeks ago a descriptive article of Alaska in general and Wrangell in par ticular, appeared in the Salem (Oregon) Statesman, from the pen of Geo. c. L. Snyder. By the next mail came several letters from parties who had seen the article, enquiring of the chances for making homes, the possibilities of the country, etc. This little item, alone, shows how country may be pushed to the front.

CORRECT, B'GOSH.

''The Alaska bureau of education at Wash 'ngton is largely farce. The reindeer ia. dustry is halt, lame and blind for the same Seas n, and so it will continue as long as its atIa s are directed by the purblind incompe. tents who spend thirty days in Alaska and the rest of the time writing reports in Wash ington. The government schools ill Alaska and the reindeer industry need capable in teIligent men to direct them. That there has been so much complaint is largely due to the fact that the government from Wash ington has been always failure and will always continue to be failure. The mis- sion must be divorced from the reindeer and therein is the rub. The unsuitable maw oi men of the Jacksoniar stripe is never satis- fled. They are like the daughters of the horse leech. These men who have miSdi- rected the reindeer industry will rot let go until congress compels them to do SOL Nom Nsgget.
 There never was more truthful ut terance. And yet, how can Alaskans help themselves? With that powerful Home Missions lobby hanging about the national capital to gather all Alaskan af- fairs within its tentacies, the people can shout themselves hoarse without avail. There is but one thing to do, and that is to separate church and state,

BULLY for Alyce Anderson of Juneau She taught the native school for several months, and the government refused to pay her. Then Alyce pre-empted the school grounds and house, and when an- other teacher was sent to take charge oi the school told her to go to some warmer cline; but instead they sent her to Tee Harbor; and Miss Anderson is still mis- tress of the Juneau situation. They will have to get the Board of Home Missions after her,

When a party becomes so strong that it's leaders think it invulnerable, that the masses will rally to the support of any men or mea- sures they may put forward, then ii is sure to fall and fall hard. It was with the nomination of Furnish, whose only qualification for the governors chair was the banker's "har'l" that was be- hind him, that the party trouble began ]; and it will continue just as long as such foolishness is attempted to be thrust down the throats of the people,

IT IS said Sitka gets from the govern ment $3,750 this year to spend on her schools. That's good; SENTINEL likes to see the schools of Alaska well maintain ed. But it does object to making fish of one and fowl of another" Simply be- cause the governor and school super1n- tendent reside at Sitka, should not give the town any precedence over her sister towns and school districts. Last year Wrangell received sl,57G33 for school purposes, of which she spent $1,3S0.5s, and the needs of Sitka are certainly no greater. Say! just wait till we get a governor of the Home Missions style at Wrangell, and we'll show you trick or two. Just watch us.

Senator Dryden to be Called by
New York Authorities Linda
bury Counsel.

NEW YORK. Oct. 30:-United
States Senator John F. Dryden of
New Jersey, president of the Pruden-
tial Insurance company, is to be a
witness before the insurance i~nvesti-
eating committee, and the affairs of
his company. although its head Office
is in a neighboring state, are to be
gone into as thoroughly as those of
the New York companies to which
the greater part of the committees
time has been devoted so far.
This information came Saturday
from counsel for the investigating
committee. 1t was learned at the
same time that the Prudential Life
and the Metropolitan Life have to a
certain extent pooled issues in the
investigation by employing Richard
V. Lindabury of Newark as their
counsel.
There has been some question
heretofore as to whether the Pruden-
tial would come in for such a raking
over as the Mutual, New York Life
and Equitable companies are receiv-
ing for the reason that it is in anoth-
er state. 1t appears, however, that
the authority of the state insurance
department to revoke the license of
any company to do business in New
York will be made the basis for de-
manding of the Prudential as com
plete information as the committee
has deemed it necessary to obtain
from the other companies.
This may open some interesting
politico-insurance history, for the
Prudential has long been as intimate
ly associated with certain phases of
legislation at Trenton as the Mutual,
the Equitable and the New York
Life have been at Albany. Financial
deals of great Importance, including
one which the Massachusetts insur-
ance department EXPOSED two years
ago, whereby it vas proposed to
transfer the control of the Pruden-
tial to the Fidelity Trust Company of
Newark, will be s%earchingly re-
viewed.
The Prudential and the M|etropoli-
tan Life both, as we'll as the John
iidnNoSh bile, VIII De pretty tHOl-
ougnly canvassed on the subject of
industrial insurance, which all three
companies feature in their business.
/ his is a topic to which the Arm
strong committee intends to give a
good deal of attention, following
somewhat the developments in the
investigation held in Massachusetts,
a few years ago, which resulted in
legislation insurance. 1t is the be-
lief of members of the committee
that serious abuses have grown up in
the system, particularly as the result
of the freedom that the companies
enjoy in writing policies on children
of any age, and upon persons suffer
ing from diseases which render them
improper ricks.

Outing. This brought to my attention
the necessity of raking off the dry
seaweed in the autumn and replacing
with stable anure. Since this was
done they have become more luxuri.
ant than ever. incidentally this dry
seaweed has covered the reads where
the brush. which had heretofore been
Il only relief, had worn off, and has
brought 10 my attention a final and in
valuable use for seaweed.
Up to this time the most practicable
road that has been found for these
hills is a thick covering of the bay
and huckleberry bushes which abound,
cutting them green and allowing them
to dry upon the road. This, however,
in time would render the surrounding
country unsightly, as it must be re-
newed every year, and an acre of
brush scarcely sufices to cover 200
feet of roadway. Therefore in the au-
tumn of the year we cover the roads
deep in seaweed. This stops the wash
from the winter rains, SHOWS and
thaws and encourages a slight growth
of turf toward spring, when a light
covering Of brush can be put on to give
that cleanliness and the russell color
which is charming between the green
