The cannery tender Irene Barnes of the Lake Bay cannery caught fire early yesterday morning, Wednesday, and ex- ploded, splitting the boat wide open, and seriously burning Cap= tain M. L. Burke and slightly in- turing E. Chryton, who worked as deckhand on the boat.
 The explosion occurred as Mir. Burke was lighting a gasoline stove to prepare hls breakfast early in the morning. It seems that the gasoline tank was leak ing and had filled the bilge with gasoline. and as soon as a match was struck the whole inside of the boat took fire, with a loud explosion which split the boat wide open.
 Capt. Burke barely escapeG with his life, reaching the ladder as the boat started to sink, and in almost an unknown way he climbed up the ladder to the dock where several persons had gathered to learn the cause Of the explosion, who took the lines of the wharf, and pulled the boat up to shallow water where she sank and in all probabilities the engine will be skved.

John Planning of Ketchil.an, came in from the lower end of Etlin Island last Friday nigl. to get the returns from some sam ples of ledge of ore that he had dis covered during a prospecting trip early in the summer, and had taken to ketchikan and sent to 5. P. Stoles of Spokane. and was to re- cieve the returns here. He was reeably surprised to find the city that he has. The returns recieved on the last boat show a percentage of 4o:45 in gold. The ledge is eight feet across and is close to the beach. Besides this he has located several others that are promising, although there h. s been no assay as yet, MT.

 M. S. E rke is well known to everybody in Wrangell and is one of the most popular boat men in the country, havng many friends who are grieved to hear of his accident. Mr. Burke came hers in the winter of 1907 in company with MT. Tate, the local con- tractor and painter, and for the past five years has been em= ployed dnring the season with the Lake Bay cannery. The tim | ely assistance of Mrs. MacDon aid, a trained nurse who was at Lake Bay. and dressed the burn of the two men, relieved their suffering greatly.
 MT. Burke was brought to town on the gas boat Crockett and is in the local hospital under the care of Dr. Dawes. MT. Chryton was not burned very seriously, and his burns were dressed without having to con e to Wrangell.

Corn is quite small for the time

Dear Editor: If you will al
low me space in the best little
paper in the world l will write
a few lines from this part of the
backwoods. This is a kind of a
lapland. Arkansas laps over
into Oklahoma, but that don't
make it any worse. l guess Ar
kansas is a better state than
Oklahoma any way.
Cutting oats, plowing and
chopping corn is the order OF
the day here now. Oats are
right good, corn looks well but
is needing rain very badly at
present.
There was a children's day at
Owl Creek schoolhOuse last
Sunday. There was large of
crowd of people there and plen-
ty of dinner on the ground. The
writer had the pleasure of meet
ing one of his cousins, Albert
Watson, and wife.
You California writer ought
to comet O Oklahoma as you
would not have to walk so far
to get a job. have walked un-
til l have worn my shoes out,
but l was not hunting a job.
I was trying to get shut of one.
My overalls look like a map of
the United States or a crazy
quilt. l have spent all of my
money and now / am doing like
the rest of the people in Okla
homa, am spending someone
else's money. That is the way
the most of us people do out
hee, borrow money and pay big
interest, pay up in the fall and
the first of next year borrow
again. Lots of men are raising
their family on a credit, and
there are many people living
awful hard out here.
This is a good country for the
CRATER and educated people
and the farmer, if he wants to
do lots of hard work, pay high
taxes, $3.50 to $500 on the $1O0,
go bare for clothes, have but
little to eat and do many other
things that a man don't like
to do. You people who came
from Tennessee to Oklahoma,
don't think I am homesick and
am doing no good out here for I
guess / am doing as we'll as any
of you all. a mworking hard,
trying to make an honest living.
Tennessee is better place to
live than Oklahoma. Back
there you have plenty of good
water, and there are not so
many insects to desroy crops.
If the people would work and
try in Tennessee like they have
to in Oklahoma they would do
well. Don't you all get mad at
my writing for | am telling the
truth, and you know it.
/ have bought me a farm out |
here, 100 acres, and guess I will
spend the balance of my life in
Oklahoma, and suffer with the
rest of the poor people.

FAIR COMMISSIONERS
PUT PLAN ON EXHIBIT

After preparation covering a PEE
Rod of several weeks. the Hawaiian
Fair Commission has installed an ex-
hibit in the upstairs lobby of the
Capitol building, which consists of a
number Of designs for the proposed
Hawaiian building at the San Fran
cisco Exposition in 1915 Together
with sketches, drawings, blue prints
and colored Autographs is data sett-
ing forth the reasons why Hawaii
should be properly represented at
the exposition given in celebration of
the opening of the Panama Canal.
H. p. Wood. chairman of the COM
mission, has been preparing for this
exhibit for the past few weeks, and
among the various exhibits shown Is
one of the finest bas-reHef maps of
the Panama Canal ever seen here. I'm
der the provisions of an act passed
by the legislature in 1911, the Gov
ernor was authorized to appoint a
commission consisting of members
from each of the Islands to suggest
ways and means for the proper rep
resentation of the Hawaiian Islands at
the fair in 1915. A great deal of work
has been accomplished by the COM
mission in the past two years. and
already the reports from the various
chairmen have commenced to come
into the Office of Mr.. Wood. The data
now on hand will be submitted to the
legislature and reasons will at the
same time be set forth as to the ne
cessity of that body appropriating lib
orally toward the building and furn-
ishing of an Hawaiian building.
That Hawaii will be greatly berle-
fitted by the opening of the Panama
Canal is one of the reasons given for
the urgent need of such building.
Plans are already being made by
great shipping concerns to send pas
senger steamers from the Atlantic,
into the Pacific VIA the Canals out to-
the Orient and return, stopping at
Honolulu and Hilo. Honolulu has al
ready been benefited to the extent
of millions q dollars through Che
tourist travel and now Hilo will have
a chance to come in for her share. J
The recommendation of the COM
mission have been received by Gov
ernor Frear, who will transfer them
to the legislature II Hawaii Is to
have an exhibit, it will be necessary
for the 1913 legislature to make the
necessary appropriations for the erec-
tor and maintenance of the building,
and the next legislature does not con-
vent until 1915, the year in which the
SAM Francisco Exposition opens.
