Judge Wickersham Here

Among the passengers or board the Cottage City Sunday, was Re presentative James Wickersham. making a tour of the district. He is on his way from Fairbanks to Washington D. C., and called on the faithful here in Wrangell. It is not known positively whether or not he is candidate for re-elec- tion, as he apparently, as in the last campaign, is waiting until he sees who is in the field before he announces himself.

Northland Brings Coal

The steamer Northland arrived up the latter part of last week, and left coal for the local fuel dealers, During the time that she has been laid off the run she has been over hauled and considerably remodeled with the result that she is now able to carry in the neighborhood of two hundred tons more cargo than before. The management of the Northland reports that in spite of the cut in the old line freight rates they have business enough in sight to warrent the change in the boat.

Preparing For Christmas

The different local religious or ganizations are making active pre- parations for their Christmas ser vices. At the Catholic church, a crowd of volunteers are getting the edihce in shape for the initial ser vices, beginning Christmas Eve, the expectations being that the bishop in Seattle will send priest up from that city especially for the occasion.
 At the other churches special services will be held, in which the children will be an important fig ure, and of course the Salvation Army will hold their regular servi- ces for that day.

Tommy Was Auctioneer

Tom Dalgity made quite an inn posing auctioneer at the sale of the Norton estate last Saturday after noon, securing good prices on practically everything offered. Ol course interest centered on the sale of the real property, consisting oi lot, upon which the cabin stands, I6x5o feet. There were five bid- ders, Messrs. Wheeler, Churchill, Lemieaux, Engstrom and Ludecke. The latter was the successful bid- der, the property being knocked down to him al s2o7. .oo. It was reported on the streets later that 'Lu" was bidding for Engstrom, and the latter can be looked upon as the purchaser of the property. He will reconstruct the building now on the lot, and will move into it, probably about the first of the first of the year, with his stock and barber shop.

Lighthouse Changes

Robert Warrack, assistant en- gineer of construction work for the lighthouse service of this district, came up as far as Lincoln Rock on the Cottage City, and after look ing over the damage done by the big storm of November 2S, caho up to Wrangell on the Antelope. He has given the necessary in- structions for temporary repairs on the buildings at the lighthouse on the rock, and formulated his plaas for permanent changes in the spring,
 According to his plans the entire lower story of the lighthouse vii. be constructed entirely of concrete, which should make the building absolutely secure in the future.
 Speaking of lighthouse natter in general as regards this locality. Mr, Warrack said that in his opin- ion the year 1910 would see many changes and improvements in these waters. The present plans of the department call for single station tights being erected on Vanks Is land and at Round Point, Zarembc island, Then the beacons il \Vrangell Narrows will be repaired several new ones constructed, an. the main ones fitted with lanterns. Two keepers will be installed or he narrows to take care of the lights, each equipped with gaso- line launch. One man will work from each end of the narrows. Ii IS thought that If all this be done, the Narrows will be navigable al at night as easily as by day.
 The lighthouse tender Manzanita lis expected to sail from Seattle with the supplies for Lincoln RocL light, to take the place of those lost'in the storm. within the next day Or two.

the aspect of far green hills, and the

on various ant-like errands, give you

When he next lit it was in a little
prairie city, just like other prairie
cities, as seen from the depot. Upon

able, because men are so bad. This
town owns it's public utilities. That's
nothing" you say and smile knowing
ly. Wait a minute, they are SO well
administered that they are paying for
themselves and will ultimately earn
dividends. One branch will do so
very shortly. An example of the en-
terprise of the town management is
that the public and some of the pri-
yate buildings are heated by the waste
steam from the lighting plant.
The place is in the possession Of
a real lid. There are no saloons, no
pigs" no complaisant drug girls.
The police force is a sort of munich
pal tradition, a mere formality here.
That's all right" | hear you say,
the little burg is just dead, that's
all" See here. the simple villagers
have raised a fund of $4,000 for a
place of entertainment for the young.
The aggregate wealth is greater than
any place in the Northwest of equal
size, and the amount of water mains,
sewers and curbing is greater, per
capita. than in your big city.
That's the material view of it.

Listen some more. AS you probably
inferred, from the remarks concerning
public utilities, the town is the pos
SCISSOR of some Of the most public spir-
tied men possible. For this reason
perhaps, it is also the beloved abiding
place of a surprising number celebrat-
ed for intellectual pursuits. Here, for
one, lives the man who went to
China and toiled and suffered in the
desert of Cobb to discover a variety of
alfalfa suited to his native state. He
found it and came home. He did not
call any one a liar, nor adorn the
bridge of any ship, or the observation
end of any car; he went back to his
chosen occupation. Not to be person
al anymore, but there are several
more. who have resisted the call to
what we chestily call larger fields of
usefulness, to remain by the work
they had started. The cleareSt light
of all on the spirit of the place, was
gained at the opera house. Here, as
in similar places, in the big city, were
types of every stratum of the town
life. The young men were bronzed
and clear-eyed, as all out-of-door men
are, the girls sweet and wholesome as
are the girls of the fresh air districts,
but best of all were the faces of the
elderly folk. A place where people
grow old with a smile on their faces is
a good place. The weary and cynical
mummies on the stage must even have
felt something of this, for the smut
that passes for wit, in the big city. was
cut out so literally that the hole left
by it's amputation showed clearly, at
times.
After the show no cigarette sucking
heavy-eyed young men stood in the
door or on the sidewalks to leer their
fostering thoughts at those who came
out. Evidently insulting girls and
women was not one of the town amuse-
ments. The stranger, walking away
to bed, under the w~indswept star,
thought and turned the thought to
extract all it's sweet meaning, this is
a home town.
All good things end, but all the way
back to the big city the stranger said
to himself, Il will go back to Brook
ings and others with me- However,
when he stepped out of the depot of
his city into the roar and turmoil of
the streets and a world weary little
child sold him a paper and short
changed him without the culver of a
muscle while so doing, he realized that
