town for his street cleaning stunt,

continue to go on. Grass and
shubbery are all very we'll in their
place. but that place is not block

the first time on record, the school

An Up To Date Cannery

Manager Barnes of the Lake
Bay cannery was a local visitor the
latter part Of last week, While
here he informed the Sentinel man
he expected to practically remodel
the Lake Bry oannery for the sea-
son of 1911. At present the can
merry is using the ordinary machin-
~ and methods of canning. The
contemplated Improvements will
include two rows of the latest san
itary canning machines, and the
fish will be put up entirely with
out the use of solder. BY this
method fish can be put up cleaner,
and the perplexing problem of
Asiatic labor will be done away
with. This will be the first can
merry in Alaska to be equipped in
this manner although there are
many of them on the Columbia
and in Washington.

The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1910-09-01

Some people say that Al. Osborn
did some lively stepping around
when he had his conference with
Lemieux' bull last Friday. He
denies that he climbed tree.
Maybe it was only sapling.

Two Men, a Boat And A
Sand Bar

more about the flats at the mouth
of the river now than they did a
week ago. We are not going to
mention any names, but one is in
charge OF the local cable office, and
the other is the Sentiael's editor.
They were headed for home last
Sunday evening after day pleas
antly spent among the islands at
the rivers mouth. The engine in
the boat was chug- chugging along
finely, when suddenly, without a
moment of warning, it stopped.
Just about this time a comber
struck Capt. Mack in the counter
ance, and getting rid Of a mouth
full of salt water he wanted TO know
"W-h-a-t-'-s the mat t-e-r-?'
and the launch losing headWay,
dropped into the trough of the
waves. Up and down and round
about the boat swung while the en-
gineer- editor hunted for the trouble,
and located it at last-a broken
wire from the coil to the timer.
This of course took time, and wind
and tide carried the two troubled
mariners into the mouth of the big
slough between Browns and Farm
island. Off came the retaining nut
from the spark coil, a little bit of
of round brass about as big as the
end of your little finger, and just
as it was put on the seat, while
the wire was scraped to make
good contact, a sudden roll of the
boat sent it spinning along under
the engine, clear out of sight. An
other half hour or SO was spent
looking for the pesky thing, and all
the time wind and tide were push
ing them steadily along up the
slough. At last it was found, the
wires were connected, a turn given
to the engine wheel. and off she
startedr Then the momentuous
question of which way to head came
up. Capt. Mack was of the opinion
that up the slough and into the
main river would be the easiest
way home, so the bow was turned
upstream and away we went.
Suddenly when we thought that
there was water to burn il necessary
under the boat, she grounded, and
we made the discovery that the
tide was falling and we stood no
more show than jack rabbit to get
home, so we made the boat secure
for the night and waded ashore, to
look for Al. Spaders camp. Mack
claimed that he could pilot us to
the place, and notwithstanding the
fact that we had lost faith in his
ability to do much else in the pilot
ing line except find sand bars, we
agreed to follow his lead and
Try Digesto, and everything
