Burned And Sunk

Word comes by wireless that at about three o'clock this morning, as the launch J. c.

The district at large will be glad to learn that Messrs. Lowery and Woodbridge have closed their deal with the Vermont Marble Co. for their Ham Island marble proper ties. While the actual purchase price was not made public, still 1t is understood that 1t was in the neigh borhood of six thousand dol lars, which amount has been paid, and the claims, seven in all, have been turned over to the buyers.
 Manager Robinson of the marble company states that his company would open up tie properties at once, and he is already calling for bids on the necessary buildings. The intention is to erect bunk houses and the like, large enough to accomodate close to a hundred men. From this it will be seen that the plant is going to be a large one, and its proximity to Wran- gell will mean much to local mer- chants.
 The marble on Ham Island is particularly suited to interior fin

Hears From Old Timer

L. C. Patenaude was in receipt by a recent boat of letter from an old time Wrangellite, Billy" Richardson, dated at Fairbanks, Alaska. The letter contained the news that the writer had put in the summer at Richardson, and had recently gone from that place to Fairbanks where he expected to spend the holidays, and then re- turn to Richardson. He reports business conditions in the interior in general as being very dull, but thought that times would shortly pick up again, He of course eX- pressed the wish that Pat" would remember him kindly to his many old-time friends here in Wrangell.

The country's greatest need today
is big harvest. Prices Of all food

high. greatly increasing the cost of

he can well afford to do for far,ling
has become much more profitable
industry than in former days, and
there is sure to be ready market
at profitable prices for all the grow
er can possibly produce. Our farm
ers should be shown that it is for
their Interest to strive to the utmost
for large production. At present they
are the most, If not the only, prosper
GUS class in the country today; yet
they cannot Indefinitely prosper at
the expense Of other classesSand their
own progress will be prolonged and
made more permanent by doing, their
share towards reducing the cost of
living. AS that element declines
there will be more to spend in other
directions, other industries win be-
come more prosperous, the number Of
employed will increase. there will be
q larger number Of mouths to feed,
and : consequent better demand FOR
food products. Our monetary outlook
Is IN every way satisfactory. Cheap
rates Tor both call and time funds
are probable for the next SIX months
to come. Loanable funds are. IL any

If the patent of a young man who occu-

office is adopted by the department there
will be great improvement in the time
cards used on letter boxes to indicate the
hours of collections. Business men and
others who use the mails with regularity
and to whom promptness of delivery is of
material Importance, will be enabled to
tell exactly when mail will be collected
from the box nearest their place of bust
ness and when it will be delivered at the
pOstoffice.
William W. Day is the inventor of the
new card. Several are already in opera
ton for test purposes.
Mr., Day card is one that can be changed
to suit the changes in the collection sched-
ule. The card is similar in appearance to
that now in use on the letter box all over
the city, but the numbers indicating the
hours of collection are written on small
paper slides, which can be changed by the
postman whenever necessary.
Moreover, every box will be marked diff
ferently, so that persons using particular
box may know that within ten minutes
after certain time there will be collec-
ton from that box.
Under the present system there is moth
ing definite about the information printed
on the cards, except that within an hour
and a-half after the stated time of collec-
ton the mail will be delivered at the post
office. = Washington Star,

The Rendition of "Mock Trial"

A most unique and enjoyable entertain
ment was given under the auspices of the
Bishop Wilson Bible Class of the M. E.
Church South at Rockville last Friday
evening.
Mr.. R. E. L. Smith, the teacher of the
class. originated the affair and the details
of the trial comported with an ordinary
criminal case in court. One of the young
men was charged with stealing horse on
the 4th of March last, and the defense was
to carry each of four ladies to the Presi-
Dental Inauguration in the same buggy,
and, finding this to be impossible, he in
duced the defendant to steal his horse and
buggy as way out of the predicament,
Messrs. Charles W. Prettyman and Geo
H. Lamar presided as judges; Messrs. Will
liam F. Prettyman and Leroy Warfield rep
resented the State and Mr.. R. E. L. Smith
the defense. The jurors were Messrs. Jas.
F. Allen, foreman. Edwin Monday. George
c. Fry, Warren Choate, William H. Talbot,
W. D. Keene. Winfield Magruder. B. c..
Hughes, Carleton Thomas, Nicholas Brewer,
William Smith and R. C. Warfield.
Mr.. Edgar Reed was the defendant and
Mr. Edward L. Greene the chief prosecuting
witness. The four lady witnesses, who
testified to Colonel Greenes" engage
ments, were Mrs. o. M. Linthicum, as MRS.
Alameda Soporanda Thompson" Miss Mary
Humphrey, as Miss Amelia Lavinia Simp-
kins"; Miss Daisy Magruder. as Miss Je-
NINA Jimson." and Mrs. George H. Lamar,
as Miss Honora OGrady." The other wit
nesses were Messrs. Bache Albert, Griffith
Warfield, Gather Warfield, Elear Smith.
Willie Humphrey and Roy Davis.
The witnesses were costumed appropri-
ately to their respective parts, and the au-
dience was kept laughing most of the time
by the sallies of humor and good acting
which characterized the whole affair. The
verdict of the jury was for the defendant.
Hereafter those who have been accus-
toned to think of Mr.. Smith as a quiet,
dignified and uniformly serious gentleman
must recognize that he is indeed talented
in the realm of humor, and also that he
believes in letting the young people have
a good time
