WIRELESS STRIKE Is ON

The wireless operators on the A!ki report that the strike ol wireless smen on the coast is on and will be fought out to a fin- i.h. The men are confident of winning as practically every man on the coast capable of passing the government eXan:- nation in securing a license Is a member of the union. The government requirements are that no steamer carrying pas cengers may leave without li- censed men in charge of the wireless plants. This gives the operators the advantage in tte fight. The Northland Sit amship company, operating Hue Alki is the first company to .ercede to the demands of the men. And this by a company ! londed in the public print as la >eabn concern.

Leo. Mccormick, president of the Chamber of Commerce, is in receipt of a letter from the Alaska Road Commission advising the Chamber to the effect that the Com mission has favorably considered their petition for the construction of a trail from Pt. Rotsoy to the Stikine river, a distance of ten miles.
 Owing to the scarcity of funds available for this purpose the board states that they will be una ble to build the trail this year, but believing fl a worthy project and one requiring immediate attention, they promise their earnest support.
 The Stikine trail is much needed and when constructed will elimi- nate untold hardships heretofore encountered by belated travellers to and from interior points.
 Each year the Stikine exacts it's death toll either through drowning or starvation, and if a good trail with a road house at each end will bring comfort to those who are compelled to use the Stikine river in winter months, by all means let Us have 1t.
 The newly organized Chamber of Commerce is already sending forth proofs that they are a live body and mean business. Let the good work go on, each one whether businessman or laborer shoulder ing his share of the work.
 Alaska Is on the eve of mar velous development. She is about to open to the world her enormous natural resources. The next ten years will see the population ot Alaska doubled; capital will be in- vested and millions will be spent

in mining, fishing, numbering and farming.
 It is true the people who are here today should be preparing tor the future and endeavoring in ev- cry way to bring people and capi- tai to our doors. The Chamber of Commerce meets tonight at the town hall at 7:3o, and two important topics will be discussed, viz: the need of a local bank and the publishing of a new prospectus of Wrangell and vicinity.
 These are two very important and necessary requirements for a growing city like ANraugel. There are many banks in Seattle, Port land and Tacoma which would be glad of the opportunity to estab- fish a branch in a town with such wonderful possibilities as we pos sess. \ new prospectus is much needed, as with the advent of more modern methods of transportation and increased fishing and mineral development the old prospectus, while good in its day, Is now some what antiquated.
 A banking institution will be a great boon to Wrangell and es- pecially to all the business inter- ests which are compelled to do business with banks in Oregon and Washington. A good prospectus well distributed, will be productive of good results and will bring pros- perity to our door.
 These things can only be accom- phshed by unitdd action in the form Of united body like the Chamber of Commerce. II is there fore the duty of every citizen Of Wransell to make a special effort to be present at every meeting.

Former Editor of Sentinel and Con- missioner of Wrangell Honored by Children and Grandchildren.

The Polk County Observer of Dallas, Ore, observes:

No Place Like Alaska.

After all, there's no place like Alaska, and if you don't believe it just ask Al Osborne. Led away by the vision of sitting in the shade of his own orange trees in sunny California, he went south, spend- ing few weeks in and around Los Angeles. Finding nothing that appealed to him there he came up to Turlock where he purchased 20 acres of that celebrated irrigated land and proceeded to settle down tor life. After about I6 months,
 however, he discovered that in- stead of its being land of oranges it turned out 10 be lemons, and the call of the north being too strong to resist he concluded to answer the call and with his family re- turned to Wrargell on the Jeffer- son. Welcome to our city, Al. [

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Dull Tone-Sentiment Favor
able. but Outlook Uncertain.

The significance Of the action OF the
stock market yesterday seemed TO be
that traders had no decided belief re-
garding the immediate outlook. Inc
bears were afraid to sell stocks and the
optimists were scared from making
new commitments. Altogether, the
market was chiefly noted for It's dul-
ness. with moderate degree OF hrln-
ness. Weakness was notable in some
issues. particularly the industrials, al
though i'm the tobacco group there was
strength manifested. which carried
those issues to points of gain on the
days trading. Canadian Pacific showed
some recovery. while Union Pacific was
quite strong. and Southern Pacific pre-
served a firm tone There was con
siderable strength in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Inter Metropolitan, par
ticularly the preferred issue. New
strongest of the specialties. No en-
enlargement was sent over from
abroad. as apprehension regarding the
Balkan settlement still holds the stock
markets of Europe in a generally dis
turbed condition. Among the traders
there appeared to he a little better
feeling regarding the outcome of the
Pujo investigating committees work
during the week. 1t was generally eX-
pressed that the atmosphere had been
somewhat clarified by the testimony of
Mr.. Dawson, and TO many il seemed
that the investigation business had ar
rived at a point where a turn toward a
betterment would be logical if other
disturbing factors were removed from
the stock market The rise in the
traction shares yesterday was due 10
the improved outlook regarding the
settlement of the subway contracts,
which are expected to be closed soon
upon practically the same general plan
as arrived at in their preparation. The
news of the day included a report of
the Atchison Railroad. which showed a
gross gain for the month of December,
1912, of 81 Dol 600 and net increase
of $4,000.

PROBE DEEPENS

Washington July THE time has
now come to turn OF the lights
completely on the lobbying activi-
ties of the special interests to il
iumine every nook and corner of
the labyrinth of subtitle and insid-
uous forces which seek to direct
the course of legislation,
Now comes the amazing Mulhall
revelation, showing the corrupt al
lance between the labor crushing
Manufacturers Association and
Hitherto respected members Of
Congress.
1t is evident that even this latest
sensation touches only a corner of
the entire situation. The Manufac-
tueer's Association is relatively u
small group interested in only cer-
tain phrases of legislation. Every
important measure touches some
powerful interest. which has it's
lobby at work.
1t is time to turn on the light.
Even if it takes year of investi-
cation, let US trace the trail of the
serpent through Washington and
national legislation. Let us follow
it's ramification no matter where
they lead. 30 that the people may
know what men, methods and mea.
sures are honest.
The country is approaching the
most important legislation period
of recent history. Old abuses are
to be ended by legislation; new re.
forms which the people demand are
TO be put through. This Is the
Democratic program which. under
the leadership of President Wood.
row Wilson, will be carried
through in the next two years.
w meet the general assault on
ptnege, the forces of privilege
are silently gathering. Their meth.
DDS are new, but far more danger.
Gus than ever before. BY misrepre.
sentation and falsehood they foster
poisoned public sentiment. Cor.
tain legislators belong to them body
and soul. Others will be reached
