 Decoration Day passed off in fitting manner at Wrangell The day opened with threatening clouds, but the rain held of and allowed every one who wished to go to the cemetery to return with dry feet and clothing The stores were all closed during the exercises and flags were displayed at half staff in all parts of town. The exercises on the wharf came of at about the time sched- uled, and were very ably conducted. Manager Claud Hanthorn of the Santa Ana csnnery volunteered the use of the Taku Jack and the big cannery lighter for transporting people to the cemetery, and there was room for all without any crowding or inconvenience. The even ing exercises at Red Mems Hall were carried out as planned, and the day was closed.
 Wrangell haa az yet made no arrange. ments for the celebration of the Fourth of July, and as it is trihe late to begin arranging for an elaborate celebration, SENTINEL rises to suggest that the Wran- gell people go over to Jack Collins farm at the mouth of Mill Creek and spend the day in the cool shade of the trees, rowing on the lake and fishing in the streams. An appropriate program for the day could also be carried out. We believe that a number of launches could be secured by simply furnishing the gasoline, and this could be got by contribution of 9 cents from each man or boy over 12 years of age. A basket picnic is new departure for Alaska, but if u-nuId ha 'nn ideal way to GDnDd the Fourth. What say you?

AN EASTERN IMPRESSION
R. Q. Yoakun1, of St. Louis, enthused Advocates Publicity and Home
 seekers Rates.

R. D. Yoakum a prominent business man of St. Louis in company with Harry Gray of Los Angeles and E. J. Bennitt of Phoenix, were in the city Monday the guests of pr. Chandler, While here they took a trip in the doctors auto down 10 one of his ranches to see irrigation on the pump ing plant plan.
 MT. Yoakum expressed himself as being very favorably impressed with Mesa and vicinity and decidedly en- thusiastic as to the Salt river valley climate Mir Gray. however, who was just as enthusiastic, but he has spent several winters in this section of the territory, was not so visibly affected while MT. Bennitt is always favorably impressed-he's a real estate man.
 NIT. Yoakum who is indirectly con- nected> with the railroad interests in the east and is here Tor the purpose of looking up suitable locations for investors, gave out few ideas for the good of Mesa which are worth consid- ering He said in part: One of the things which the Salt river valley must do is advertise. You have the finest country here that I have ever seen any
 
 back east don't know about it. When the National Irrigation Congress meets at Albuquerque you people must make it a point to be there with some of the various products which you are able to grow in this rich soil. Have the goods there to show for themselves There are hundreds or people in the east looking for locations. but they don't know what you have here. I know of one road in the east last year that carried one hundred thousand hOmeseekers and they located thirty five per cent of them This led the interview up to the subject of home seekers rates. "I am surprised that you do not have homeseekers rates in- to this section" continued MT. Yoak- um. 'It is essential that you should see that you do get them. You have a country here which you can show of to a good advantage. The real homeseeker in every sense of the word naturally wants to go to a place and look it over carefully before he moves or takes his family. If he is getting the advantage of homeseekers rate he will avail himself of that opportu- nifty when otherwise he would never change locations"
