Has New Philippines Plan.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, Oct. 3D.
Control of the Philippines by an
international council was propcs.
ed today at the Lake Mollonk
conference of Friends of the In
dams and Other Dependent PEG
pies by A. S. Lanier, of Rich
mond, Va, Assistant Solicitor o.
the United States Department o.
Agricultural. who served in tn.
Philippines for several years a.
assistant secretary for the Bureau
| of Justice.
Mr.. Lanier let it be known tina
he had just submitted his plan t.
President Wilson and to the De
partments of State and War. H,
offered it as solution of a prob
lem which lie considered not only
perplexing but menacing. ant
the one of all others most likely
to embroil this country with
Japan.
The plan provides for a coun.
Gil composed of members selected
by the United States, France,
England. Germany, Russia and
Japan, and possibly other nations.
This body would select a chief
executive. 1t would be the upper
Legislative house of the islands,
with lower house composed en-
tirely of natives.
Its creation, Mr.. Lanier thinks,
would do away with the neces-
sity of keeping troops in the
Philippines outside of the native
forces. Any questions upon
which the members of the coun-
Gil could not gree would be suit
mitted to The Hague tribunal.
Eventually Mr.. Lanier believed
the Filipino would be able to
govern his own country, and
when this time arrived, interna.
tional council could be abolished

STRASBURG

The protracted meeting at the
N. E. Church, in which t se
preaching was done BY Rev. Lee
Starke, closed Sunday night, and
the closing night was one of un-
usual interest. The house was
packed and many had to stand
and some left rather than stand
up during the service. Twenty-I
four joined the church on Sum
day and there are many more
who have indicated that they
will join in the next few weeks.
Mr.. Starke is a rapid worker, a
lightning thinker and fearless
speaker aud he did not fail to
rap the fault finder when he told
them that they had a tact for
fault finding of the sermon and
had fine memories when it came
to picking out the weak points
and peddle them around the
streets, but always failed to re-
member the good points and tell
them to their friends.
Mr.. Starke left Monday morn
ing for Baltimore.
Boss Stickley left Monday for
Marshall, where he has purchas.

eraging 1900 pounds each. He

The hog cholera has been very

Miss Mabel Pick, who for the past two years has seen duty here as Deaconess of the Episcopal church, attached to St. Phillips of Wrangeli, left on the last Hum- boldt for Ketchikan, from where she will probably proceed to a sta- tion in the Interior under orders from Rt. Rev. P. T. Rowe, Blsh- .op of Alaska.
 Miss Picks quiet and pleasant ways and her notable devotion to her duties together with her cheer ful readiness to aid anyone ill or unfortunate, have endeared her to the entire community, and her de- parture is felt to be a real loss to WrangeH.
 Before leaving she was present.. ed with a beautiful gold watch by the choir and attendants at St. Phillips.

WAGON ROAD AS-
 SURED TELEGRAPH
Supt. C. L. Cullen and Party on Way to Scene
 of Action


Supt. c. L. Cullin, of Victoria. accompanied by a number of as- sociates, is in Wrangell awaiting the arrival of Ra boat to take he ann his party to Telegraph Creek from where the government wagon road will be built to Dease Lake, a distance of seventy-fve miles.
 Mr. Cullin is an old newspaper man and formerly conducted a newspaper in Atlin, B. c. He is a very pleasant gentleman to meet, and was not averse to tell ing representative of The Sen tinel a little of what will be done in the way of building a good wagon road through that country to enable prospectors and miners to get in supplies and mining ma cninery.
 Mr. Cullin is confident that the
  building of this road will bring into the country hundreds of prospectors who have heretofore been kept out because of the hardships incident to getting in supplies to last them through the season.
 While the gold in that section is not of a coarse variety. there is in his opinion, miles of good pay that can be recommended by hydraulic process.
 The building of this road means more to Wrangell than one would suppose at first thought. It vii mean that all supplies will have to be landed here and.reloaded or river boats for transportation III | the Stikine.
 Many of the older residents o, Wrangell will remember tht stirring days of '98, when it wa

proposed to build railroad from Glenpra 1o Lake Teslin. Thous- anes of people and thousands of tons of freight were landed here and much of the freight was taken up the river to Telegraph Creek and Glenora.
 Had it not been that the con tract for buileing the railroad was annulled a few weeks afterMann x MacKinzie, the contractors, began work, Wrangell would to- day have been the largest and leading city in Alaska. Nor is it too late now for such an event to take place, With good roads by which machinery and supplies can be taken at reasonable cost, hundreds, yes, thousands of gold seekers will flock into that region as soon as conditions will permit. And they must pass through our town en route. Think what this will mean for Wrangell
 Much is being said at this time of the Iskoot country, almost at the door of Wrangell. Several of our citizens are interested in that region, and there is no doubt that before long things will be doing there also.
 Let the. good work goson.
 Although all of these good things are on the Canadian side, Wrangell must first be consulted and benefited before that.lard o1 promise can be reached.
 The Cullin party is composed of c. L. Cullin, F. E. Cullin, A. i E. Belfrey, E. Coleman, W. Nc Naul, A. Y. z. Mcdonald, w. E. .Lennox, F. E. Spriggs, A. Simp ,,son and II. McCortney.

The Sentinel.

The Sentinel.
 The chances for recovery of the dead mans body were, how ever, very small. The men were spread on both sides of the beach from the starting point, and the most experienced woodmen went 7nland. No trace couldsbe found. The underbrush and windfalls covered the ground so thickly ,that;aman might be.only @ few feet away from the body of the dead man without seeing 1t.
 Towards evening the lost mans tent, skiff and other useful be- longings were taken along and the party turned back to Wran- gell.
 It was learned from marks ou the tide table left in the tent, that Shafstad had been in his camp for the last time on April 14th.
 How he has come to his death no man knows. He might have fallen between twoilogs and bre- ken his leg, or;he might have ae- cidentally shot himself.
 Itis reported that a man going along the beach in'that neighbof- hood about four weeks ago, heard some twenty rife shots fired. It is a pity that this, if true, was not reported at the time so search parties might have been formed to look for the lost man.
 A search party consisting of fourteen men went out again last Sunday, but had no more success in it's >endeavOuT than the first one.
 Christian Shafstad was born at Nesue, Nordland, Norway, 53 years ago. He had many friends here who regret his tragic death. He was widely known for his musical talent, and he comes from a'family that was musically He played the violin

 Mourned
Unfortunate Man Meets Unknown
 Fate

About the 17th of March Chris Shafstad, an old resident of Wrangell filled his skiff with provisions, his gun and traps with the intention of doing some trapping. He declared he would be gone about three weeks but did not mention where he was going. As Shafstad, who is an old fisherman, did not appear in time for the run of salmon, his friends began to fear that an accident might have befallen him, but as no one knew where he was camping or in which di- rection he went. any search would, of course, be futile.
 Tuesday last week, however, as Otto Hofstad was cruising in the vicinity of Elephants Nose on Woronofski Island, he saw a large skiff on the beach.

CHANGE OF
 MANAGEMENT

A deal was consumated Satur- day, whereby 1. c. Pruell and T. Berthelson became proprieters of the kirmse Jewelry and Curio store, and took possession on that day. The buy is good ore, as the store has nice local trade in jewelry and curios in addition to the repair work, and captures great deal of the tourist trade. The two new owners are both we'll known in ketchikan as being energetic young business men, Gus as assistant manager at the rongass Trading company with which he has been associated for the past thirteen years. and possesses a host of friends and well-wishers. Mir. Der thelson has been in charge of the kirmse store since it's beginning in the neighbor-hood of a year ago and has made 1t the success il is. Miner.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1913-05-29

Having Shafstad, and the fate which had befallen him, in his mind, he anchored and went ashore. He found Shafstad's tent well hidden behind the trees. His gun was gone and Shafstad was not to be seen. Upon in- vestigation Hofstad decided that the lost man must have been gone at least month.
 He reported his discoveries and arranged for a searching party twelve men strong, which went out the following day. The par ty was made up as follows; Mar tin Hofstad, Capt. Johansen. Ole. Johnson, George Johnson, F. F.. Gingrass, Joe Ensiey, Knute An derson, Richard .Hofstaa, A. R. Hall, Fred Eriksen, Christ Vel voc and Thos. G. Figved, the writer, who went to represent
