A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The swing of old Mother Earth in her endless round about the sun has brought all the world again to the season of good cheer, good will, jny and hilarity, which marks the anniversaries of the Christia Era, the appearance upon earth of the Man of Sorrows, whose short life, wonderful work and tragic death are written in living letters upon the hearts of countless mil lions, and the gentle inh renee of whose blameless record has gone forther toward the elevation and betterment of mankind than have all others.
 In this cheerful and cheer giving time men and women and children meet all upon the common gronnd of good will and good nature, and, if at no other time in the year, the thought and action to which they devote time and attention are for others, elevating in tendency and lasting in influence, bene6tting those toward whom extended, and beneftting also those who extend benefits in the consciousness they retain of having helped and bene- fitted others.
 And more than to all others this is the children's season-those whom the Master welcomed and cherished and beatified-in who's joyous and hearty appreciation of the great good and happiness the season brings touches the hearts of all. And who would begrudge them the simple hearted happiness, the exuberant joy they manifest? Alas, all too soon they spring up beside us to our own stature and respons- ibility and feel with us, on their own account, the cares and duties of life. But yesterday they were infants in our arms. Today they put on the armor of life's battle, to lay it down only at the portal of the tomb. Then let us give to them all we can of the joy and hap piness of this joyful and happy season, the sustaining recollection will strenghthen them and guide them alright along the thorny trail of time. And to them and to all THE OASIS wishes a

Humboldt Sails Feb. 3rd.

Word comes from the south that the steamer Humboldt will leave Seattle for the north on or about
 ii - February5 ,. While she is laid up she will be given a thorough over hauling, and will no doubt be even more popular than ever on her re- turn. The steamers manage ment has made arrangements with the steamer Bertha to bring north the freight of the Humboldt on the missing trip, so that but little in- convenience will be experienced by Humboldt shippers.

Another Wharf for Wrangeu

At last it looks as though that ''New Wharf, of which We have heard so many rumors, is actually coming into existance.
 During the past few weeks F. C. Miles, Capt. Hotstad, and A. Lem- ieaux have been doing considerable figuring, aud the result thereof was a crew of men under the direction of Nels Moen starting out Tues day afternoon putting up tempor- ary piling to hold the site tor a wharf on part of the ground occupied by the old Collins wharf.
 The present plans of the com pany calls for the erection of a wharf and warehouse and the in- stallation of a cold storage plant in the old Brewery building.
 The actual work of erecting the wharf will be under way within the n ext couple of weeks, as the cor tract for the piling has been let and the expectations arc that John Sales will be here within that time with a pile driver crew,
 The company intends to make special bid for the fish shipping and will install a scow to handle the business. They fig ure that the cold storage plant will give them a big advantage in fish shipping, and entertain the hope that much of the halibut fleet will make Wrangell their head quarters instead of Scow Bay and i'5ters- burg as at present.

Kenig In New Role

Everybody in Wrangell is aware that Capt. Kenig Johansen is versatile man, but the other day he showed a new side of his charac ter while officiating as nurse maid. t appears that some local lady vas calling on Mrs. Patenaude,
 md as her baby was asleep in its carriage when she arrived, she tucked it in and left 1t to finish it's nap. After a time 1t awakened and lifting up it's voice to attract the attention of it's mother, brought the captain to its side. He took it from the buggy and proved so much of success as baby tender that the youngster objected when the time came for it to go home.

Mill Will Start Early

There is every probability that the sawmill will commence opera tions within the next six weeks or so. Orders for material are piling up, and the new wharf will aeed considerable large timbers of which there is not much of a supply on band. There are pro- bably more loggers out hustling logs today than ever before in the history of the mill. The boom is depleted, and big season is ex- pected for Ie11,

rhe following tahulatlons are

Of students to teacher in Gig hty-
one state-supported schools.
The average number of students
to teacher is 10.5. 1t is inter est
ing to note that while no doubt,
in general, the cost of the unit

schools having more students to
