IMPROVEMENTS ARE PARTLY MADE
Wraneell Schoolboys Carry Sand to
 Fill Up Mud Holes

Acting on the suggestion of the SENTI. MEL of few weeks ago, Principal Nash proclaimed 6 half holiday last Friday afternoon, and the boys of the school spent the time; in carrying sand from the beach to i'll up the unsightly mud puddles in the school yard.
 Every boy entered into the work with 6 will which demonstrated their pride in the appearance of the school play ground, and all afternoon, until stopped by rain, a steady stream of sand was travelling between the beach and the grounds. A gang with sacks and shoyele worked on the beach, others took the filled sacks on wheelbarrows to the ground, while another gang dump ed the sand and spread it evenly over the ground, ,, About an hundred aackful5 of she'll like sand from the beach was put on the lot, covering about half of the grounds,
 and making great improvement, This improvement will be permanent, as the
 sand will pack and remain there, except what little is carried away on the shoes of the school children. The boys say that the balance of the grounds will be covered as soon aa possible, which, it is hoped, will not be long. This simply shows what great deal can be accom-. plished by concerted action, and the ex- ample set by the school boys might be emulated to advantage by others in more advanced stages of life.

CAPT. BENSON SPEAKS UP
Signifies Intention to Place The Steamer srGata On Run
 tO Alaska

4 dispatch from Tacoma dated Octo- Der 10, says: .Before the beginning of 1907 Tacoma will have it's own direct steamship line to Alaska. It will be known as the Arrow line. Seattle will not be port ot call, either going or coming Announcement that the line l is to be established and first class steamer placed on the run within two months was mais yesterday by Capt. S. J. Benson, gene,al manager of tue Far ragut Bay Fishing Company. AZ fast as the business warrants, other vessels will be added, and the promoters of the new line believe thei win soon be operating a large fleet between this city and the north. Capt. Benson and his associates have secured an option on the steamer Arcata, now at San Francisco. Within month MT. Benson will leave for San Francisco to take charge of the vessel. She will be given sn oyerhauling and, if necessary to put her in first class condi. ton, alterations will be made. As soon as this work is completed, the Arcata will be brought to Tacoma and be placed in commission. Her first voyage, Capt. Benson states, will be made within two months, and perhaps sooner, depending on the amount of work which will have to be done. In common with the boats of the southeastern Alaska lines, the Arcata will make three round trips north each month. She is a ten-knot vessel and will have no difficulty in maintaining the schedule. She will make all of the Alaska ports of call on the route, and others in addition.
 1 The Arcata is we'll known on the coast. She was formerly in the San Francisco Alaska trade and has been running since between San Francisco and Coos Bay. For eight years she was commanded by Capt. N. E. Cousins, now master of the steamer Queen. She is staunch packet and very suitable for the run. Her gross tonnage is 5t0 and her not tonnage is 1l5. She is 80 l feet in length, 26.2 feet in beam and 6.6 feet depth. She has accommodations for forty-fve first class and sixty second class passengers. She will carry 600 tons of freight.
 She and the other steamera that will later be added gre to be known as the Arrow line, states Capt. Benson. He is retired sea captain and was formerly in command of one of the vessels of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company fleet. He and his associates have pros. pered from Alaska investments. He has been a resident of Tocamo for years and has boundless faith in the fnther ot the city.

A side light was thrown on life in modern AIaeka by single incident that happened recently in Seattle, Seven thousand five hundred cases of canned cream, fifteen freight car loads, was or dered by one Seattle firm for shipment to Alaska from single cannery in Kent, Q town in White river valley, lying just south of Seattle. The entire order went north on ths frat departing steamer. This condensed milk is the kind Alaska uses. The milk received at the canneTy in Washington is reduced to little less than half it's volume. The product is called cream, and bears various titles, according to the cannery turning it out, as Carnation cream, Primrose cream or Chrysanthemum cream, All steamers, trains, camping parties, prospeetors' mining and logging camps an the North Pacific use it. All Alaskans drink it AS freely as they eat bacon.
