SEATTLE LIKES
 ALASKA CRABS

H. ]. Gardner, the crab man, IS as busy as two people, these days, making the arrangements necessary to take care of the bountiful har- vest of crabs promised from this locality for the immense market his concern seems to have control of. The Cottage took south a big con- signment of cooked crabs, all big fine fellows, which looked as tho they were in sufficient numbers to hold the consumers for a while. Then the Humboldt repeated the dose, and the probabilities are that the Jefferson will call in on her way down for the boxes now wait ing for her.
 After various experiments; the plan of shipping the crabs down alive has been abandoned, and hereafter they will all be cooked before they are crated. MT. Gard ner reports that his company has perfected a shipping case, working on the vacuum principle, which will carry meats and fish for an in- definite period in perfect condition. It is his intention to use them for handling the crabs, being of the

Wants to Bug
 Totem Poles

Harlan I. Smith of New York, one of the best informed men on the continent on the habits and customs of the Indians of Wash ington and British Columbia, and the author of several publications on that subject; accompanied by w. s. Taylor, a New York artist of considerable note, arrived from the south on Saturdays steamer, in search for matters of interest pertaining to the natives of this locality. These gentlemen are rep resenting the American Museum of Natural History, situated in New York city, and are desirous of pur- chasing old totem poles for the col lection that institution is gathering together, to be used in connection with picture which MT. Taylor will paint as the result of the trip. The poles desired must not be ov- CT I9 feet long, nor more than 28 1-2 inches wide, and must be of the old stock, nothing recent, or made for the tourist trade. The museum will pay for any such, but must have a clear bill of sale for them, so that there may be no pos sibility of adverse claimants to the poles. Any information on the subject should be sent to MT. Smith here in Wrangell, Or, after he leaves, to 77th street and 8th Avenue, New York, or to The Sen- tinel office.

Wrangell people will be pleased 10 hear that matters in general are looking up for ]. 4. Mason and his proposed cold storage and fish packing plant on Wrangell Mar rows. According to reliable infor- nation he has completed arrange ments, whereby he has a guaran- iced market for two carloads, or 40 tons of fresh fish every week. From the same source comes the news that he has succeeded in f. fancing the proposition, and that there is every probability of the work, so long dormant, being re- sumed at an early date,
 There can be no denying the fact that the location MT. Mason has se- lected is a good one. It commands what is probably the best fishing grounds on the Pacific coast today, as evidenced by the number of can neries and the like within q radius of fifty miles; the water power available would be hard to beat anywhere, and on account of the Narrows being the only lane for steamboat travel, the shipping fa- cilities are unlimited.

Falls Off Log
 Breaks His Leg

Ole Johnson had the misfortune last Saturday evening to fall from log on which he was crossing the creek at Jack Mantel's place, to the rocks below, breaking both the bones of his right leg below the knee.
 Ole had been prospecting on the lead discovered recently by Donald Sinclair, and had come into camp after hard days work, and taken off his boots, putting on pair of stiff soled shoes, Somebody in camp suggested that some of the many big trout so plentiful in the stream would taste pretty good, so Ole got his fishing gear, and with out changing his foot wear started out to try his luck. Some little distance from camp, big slippery log spanned the stream, and this be tried to cross, but slipped and fell to the rocks below, a distance of ten or twelve feet.
 He was able to make himself heard at the camp, and his part ners rushed over to render assis- tance, and seeing the extent of his injuries carried him on board the launch, and brought him to town. Here Dr. Shurick set the broken bones, and on Sunday afternoon the patient was taken en-board the Humboldt. to Juneau where he en- tered the hospital. # s@,.

The Wednesdays Topeka Journal
says: "a complimentary entertain
ment was given last night at the audi
forum by the faculty and students of
the Bissing Conservatory of Music.
The audience of about 2,OOo lovers of
music represented Topeka's most cul-
tured people. A marked contrast dis
tinguished this concert from the gen.
eral run of entertainments given in
this city. Upon entering the wide
open doors, the home-like appearance
brought about by the decorations, upon
which no work and expense had been
spared, the guests were assured that
this would be no ordinary occasion.
This conservatory of music was es-
tablished here only three years ago by
Prof. Kissing and Topeka should feel
proud that her first conservatory of
music has developed to the extent of
being able to produce such high class
entertainment as was given last night.
Some most difficult selections were
given by the pupils in manner which
showed the most careful training by
instructors of unusual ability. Pupils
who have studied under Professor
Kissing but short time were given an
ovation by the audience. A sextette,
the first number on the program, was
treat. The youngest member of the
class played a violin solo, a Mendel-
ssohn concerto andante, and the way
she handled this difficult selection was
a credit to her training as a proof of
her unusual talent.
The vocal department of the conser-
vatory is in change of Miss Walter and
the artistic rendition of the numbers
shows that this department is up to the
standard in the vocal world.
Mr.. Don Wellman, tenor, and mixed
chorus of thirty voices from the voice
gave t'The Heavens Are
Telling" from Haydn's Creation as the
closing number. The volume was pow
erful for the number and the ensemble
work of singers, violin orchestra, pipe
organ and piano under the training of
Prof Kissing, director, displayed his
wonderful control of musicians in this
The general impression left
by the entire program was that of a
entertainment.

he New Train.

The following, from the Topeka Jour
nal, is the latest about the new train:
The wabash Union Pacific trans
continental train, which was originally
scheduled to start next Sunday, and
which will run through Hays, has been
postponed. While not definately stated
the new train will probably be install
led two weeks later on April 18.
The delay in getting the equipment
ready is said to be responsible for the
postponement of service.
This is to be one of the finest, ii not
the finest train in the west. 1t will
consist of nothing but baggage cars,
sleepers and a diner. The train will
carry no mail cars nor chairs cars. The
cars will be electrically lighted. The
Union Pacific will take a step in ad-
vance of all other roads in car lighting.
A regular dynamo will be carried on
the train which will generate all of the
electricity for use in lighting the
coaches. The dynamo will be located
in one of the baggage cars and an
electrician will operate the dynamos
assisted by the baggagemen.
The new train will run from st. Louis
to the Pacific coast, reaching both San
Francisco and Portland No changes
in cars will be made on the entire trip
The new train will go through Hays
westbound about 5 a. M or perhaps 3
few minutes later. 1t will be one of
the last trains to leave Kansas CITY
for the west. The train will make but
few stops in Kansas, Topeka being the
first and then Manhattan. Junction City
Salina, etc. Two of these stops are
made for engine changes. On the re-
turn trip the train will go through
Hays about p, m. and will afford

Coincident with the Inauguration of
this new service. will be the changing
of the running time of other trains on
the Union Pacific. There will probably
be no changes in the local train service
but the present through trains will be
changed somewhat in order to furnish
a better service to the patrons of the

The paint on a house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood is
simply structural under layer. That
Is as 1t should be. Unprotected wood

paint made of pure white lead and

against sun and rain. heat and cold
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with a
complete metallic casing.
And the outside of the house is the
looks of the house. A well-construct-
ed building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack of painting or by poor

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength:
their pictures and Statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact We have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed ON
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Cats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's q matter of food The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
