Wrangell Is In The
 Very Front Rank

In going to or from the mining prospects or developed areas one passes by and through the timber that covers the whole of Southeast ern Alaska. It is one vast forest not all merchantable timber but here and there patches that will hand log 100, GOO feet upward, and for the most part these logs can be dropped directly into salt water.
 The timber comprises spruce, hemlock, red and yellow cedar. The spruce is used mostly for building purposes. Hemlock is the best for finishing as it does not shrink evel if put in wet. It makes the best piling. Red cedar is used for boatbuilding and shingles. These go from this point everywhere for the quality gives this product preference.
 There are various mills located in this section and others are prom ised. Those that are in commission have all the business that they can

handle with their present equip ment.
 All this promises we'll for the logger for 1t insures him a market for his product and the best possi- ble prices. A hand logger can make from $. % per day up, many making $ % which is considered good pay.
 Then there is logging the yellow cedar-one of the finest timbers anywhere-good for making Il g finest furniture and decorating. It is much sought after and mills pay an exceptionally high price for good logs. But this timber is gen. orally little way from salt water and it cost more to log, takes a bigger plant and so no systematic effort has been made to secure this valuable wood. But some one will come spying out the land and see this neglected opportunity and make several fortunes out Of the chance.

Nineteen Candidates
 For Town Councilmen

It looks as though there were go- ing to be no difficulty in getting candidates for Town Councilmen, IS the names of no less than 10 have been mentioned as likely timber. There will probably be at least two tickets in the field, besides one or two independ- ents who will paddle their own canoes. The names suggested thus far are P, (. Mccormack, Donald Sinclair, Ed. Weber, F. Matheson, James Wheeler, Chas, Nelson, Nels Ronneg and Al Osborn whom are mentioned as Regulars. while the Insurgents are F. C. Miles, Nels Moen, Dr. Shurick. T. J. Case, Joe Ensley, Mickey Pres colt, Al Spader, Bert Tucker, Hans Nelson and Adolph Eng strom, while Vim. Lewis will pro- bably appear on both tickets.
 The point at issue of course is the management of the water sys- tenn. The Regulars are credited
The Wrangell sentinel., 1911-03-23

with the statement that all is being done with the system that is possi- ble at this time, while the Insur- gents are not backward as a rule in saying that such is not the case.
 A plan of increasing the taxation of the town for couple or three years for the purpose of putting the water system on cash basis has been proposed, which meets with the approval apparently of the greater number of the town taxpayers.
 Then again, there seems to be an idea preYalen{ that the town should make water connections free of charge for consumers, and that the water rates should be overhauled.
 The caucus tor the purpose of nominating candidates will be held next Wednesday evening, and it promises to be an interesting one.
 There is to be nomination for School Clerk at the same time as

A dim light swinging suspended
from the ceiling Of the great wide hall

time, and his face remains memory.
Standing with his back to the stair
railing, revolver grasped tightly In
either hand, his eyes burning, his
countenance flushed with anger, and
clouded by doubt, he appeared almost
like one distracted. At sight Of me
he gave up an attempt to control his

The lower hall, having no windows
in it, was the only safe place in the
building, and here light had been
kept burning. The door which, as l
judged, must lead into the back par

Faiths fairest stars come peeping
through;
Our paths lead down by the meadows
fair,
Where the sweetest blossoms nod
and smile,
And we lay aside our cross of care,
Once In while.
Once in while within our own
We feel the hand Of steadfast
friend;
Once in a while we feel the tone
or love, with the hearts own voice
to blend;
And the dearest Of all our dreams
come true.
And on life's way is a golden smile.
Each thirsting flower ID kissed with
dew,
Once in 4 while.
Once In while in the desert sand
We find spot Of the fairest green;
Once In a while from where we stand
The hills Of Paradise are seen,
And perfect Joy in our hearts We
hold,
A Joy that the world cannot detile:
We trade earth's dross for the purest
gold,
Once in a while.
