Two weeks ago Mrs. Helen w. Caskey, and her daughter, Miss Carol Caskey, of Skagway, visited in Wrangell for a few days. On their return home Mrs. Caskey re- ceived a cablegram at Juneau con. weving the dreadful news that Dr. Fred Wishar1, brother to Mrs. Caskey, and his wife and daughter, were the victims of an automobile accident, which resulted in the death of Dr. Wishard and perhaps fatal injuries to the other members of the family. The accident occurred in Pasadena, Cal. This is the fourth death to occur in Mrs. Caskey's immediate family within the past few months.

Flag on Mount Dewy

Old Glory is now in evidence in Wrangell as never before. AL. most every house has its flag. But there is one mammoth flag which represents the town as a whole. It is 10X20 feet in size and was hoisted last Friday on Mount Dewey. A tall spruce tree was trimmed of its limbs, and Old Glory now waves proudly several hundred feet above the town.
 The flag was presented to the town by Blind Tom, an old h. dian doctor, who, with his crip- pied wife, lives near the power plant.
 It was no small job to climb a large tree in the cold wind and convert it into a flag pole, and the party O1 young men who ac- complished the difficult task sure- ly deserve great praise. It was only another expression of the patriotism which every one feels.
 Passengers on boats coming in- to this port since the flag was raised have commented upon the pleasing impression it gives one t)see the stars and stripes way ing in the breeze from the sum- anit of Mount Dewey at whose base is the peaceful little town of AVrangell resting like a favorite child upon a loving mothers knee.

SUMPTUOUS BANQUET
Retiring Mayor Entertains Mem- bers of Old and New
 Administrations

J. G. Grant. who was mayor of Wrangell the past year, surely made a good fellow of himself last Thursday night when he gave a most sumptous banquet to the outgoing and incoming coun- cilmen and town officers.
 Following the organization and adjournment of the new council 1 Nr. Grant extended an invita- tion to the members of the old and new councils to accompany him to the Wrangell hotel dining room. The hospitable invitation was cheerfully accepted by all present. Every one knew that there was something good in store, but no one expected such an elaborate banquet as was served. The very best had been provided with all the trimmings.
 Mr. Pritchett acted as toast master. The first toast was drunk to Our New Mayor. ' And another toast was drunk to the health of Mir. Grant, the re- th'ing mayor.
 Mayor Matheson was the first to be called upon for a speech. The new mayor declared that af- ter dinner speaking was mot his forte. but the cleverness of his re- marks tended to disprove his es- timate of his own qualifications. From Mayor Matheson's address it was plain that he has his heart in the task ahead of him in ad- ministering the affairs of the town for the coming year
 E. P. Lynch, aged S1, and a member of MT. Grants family, was the only guest not connected with the municipal administration except the Sentinel reporter. A toast was drunk to the health of MT. Lynch.
 L. C. Patenaude was requested to nespond to the toast @'The Old Council y He was very modest in his praise of the did council, but eloquent in his prase of their retiring mayor.
 H. D. Campbell spoke on be- half of the school board, his re. marks beng well received.
 Mrs. NJ. 0. Johnson. the new member of the school board, was 'unavoidably absent on account of being on the bird day program. A toast was drunk to Mrs. John- sons health.
 Before the evening came to a I,elose every one present had spoken. The spirit of good fel- lowship was very manifest, and felicitations were the order of the evening.
 In closing the chairman pro- posed a toast to the health of President Wilson, everyone drinking to the bottom. This toast was followed by the singiug of America. In bidding their host goodnight all expressed their thanks to Mir. Grant for his ex- ceptional hospitality and the most pleasant evening they had spent Iin a long time.

PATRIOTIC PARADE
 SU N DAY

under the auspices of the Red men was a magnificent express sion of Wfangell's enthusiasm. loyaltyand patriotism.
 At 2 o'clock the Redmen, in regalia, marched from their hall to the dock where the parade was formed. Arthur J Downer was was requested by the Redmen to act as marshal of the day.
 The parade was formed in the following order; bo, scouts, 1m- proved Order of Redmen, ladies, men. No previous arrangements had been made to have the boy scouts march as an organization, and it was not possible on a mo- ment's notice to muster out but a portion of their membership.
 There were between three and four hundred persons in the pa raae.
 A number of flags were ear ried in the parade, and in order to give the affair something of a military aspect A. R. Hanson heat time on a snare drum dur the march.
 As the procession passed down Front street it passed a number of colored people who had arrived in town the day before and were standing on the sidewalk. That these people recognized the flag of their country, and are loyal to it, was very noticeable when all of then took off their hats and stood with baned heads as the procession, which moved under the national colors, passed by.
 The procession marched down Front street beyond the machine shop, then north to the Episcopal church: thence west on Church street to Mckinnon avenue; thence south into Front street and east again to the Rink where a mass meeting was held.
 F E Bronson acted as chair man, and after few remarks in- troduced F H Gray, the speaker of the day.
 MT. Gray's address was that of man whose advanced years have added strength to his loyal ty and devotion to the govern ment of the United States and the principles for which 1t is founded. As he spread out his hands over the flag on the altar before him and told how his grandfather had died for that flag, and that he therefore had a blood interest in that flag, he made his hearers feel that they were looking upon an emblem as sacred as the lives of those who had died that it might continue to wave over a free people. Then recountlng the laWless operations of Germany, Mr. Gray said: We will suffer in silence nc longer. We are now ready to fight until German autocracy and German militarism are overthrown, leav- ing the Kaiser's throne to crum- ble to dust The speaker was frequently interrupted by en- thusiastic cheering of his patriot ic Itterances.
 Following the address by MT. Gray the chairman introduced Mir. Arthur J. I,owner of the United States Army, who has patriotically consented to act as drill master.
 MT. Downer explained that at the rousing mass meeting held at the Redmen's hallon Monday night,of last week more than one hundred persons signed a Resolu- tion for the organization of a home guard. Bnt owing to a numDer of the signers being over .forty-five years Ofage if was nec-

 order to form a militia that would Ifbe available for active service, and thereby place Wrangell in the ranks of the nations war forces.
 Upon concluding his remarks. Mir. Downer requested those de- string to enlist for active service to line up. Forty-nine men un. der forty-iVe signed up for ac- tive membership, while there were twenty one signing up for the reserve list.
 There was little surprise on the part of some when two local Japanese came forward and en- listed in the active list. By this act they expressed their attitude toward their adopted country with more emphasis than they could possibly have done by any spoken words.
 The enlistment was made in the presence of a large number of spectators. and was impressive, but was devoid of anything of a funeral aspect.
 As one saw gallant young men. willing to die. if necessary, for their country. walk proudly for ward lwith nothing of the bra vado spirit>. and in a dignifed manner calmly place their names on the military roster resting on the flag, one naturally thought of the signing of tine Declaration of Independence. while at the same time a rebirth of American ism of 1776 was being enacted before his eyes.
 At the conclusion of the enlist ments the members of the militia and the reserves and the specta- tors sll joined in singing the Star Spangled Banner. This grand old song, which is an inspiration in itself, came like a spontaneous expression from the patriotic gathering as voices rang, ont with the words:
 And the star-Spangled 'banner
 in triumph shall wave, Der the land of the free and the
 home of the brave.'
