WORDEN RESIGNS
 AS POSTMASTER
Is Seriously III and Must Un-
 dergo an Operation

Postmaster ]. E. Worden wired his resignation to Washington Wednesday morning. Mr. Wor- den is seriously i'll and unable to continue in government service. At present he is suffering acutely from a nervous trouble and year of rest will be necessary be- fore he can be restored to health. AS soon as he is relieved from duties connected with the local post office he will leave for Se- attle. Mr. Worden has been Postmaster here for nearly sev- enteen years, during which time he has never made trip south. He has been faithful servant and his popularity was evidenced recently when almost 100 per cent of the leading residents of Wrangell signed a petition for his reappointment.
 Naturally there is some specu- lation as to whom the President will nominate as Mir. Worden's successor. The name of John w. Stedman has been mentioned in connection with the position. It is also reported that MT. Stedman sent in a petition some time ago. This is not true. He has never applied for the office. But MT. Stedman is man who could fill the office most efficiently. He is progressive and would keep the office abreast of the town. The people of Wrangell would be for tunate indeed if he should receive the appointment. It is with much pleasure that the Sentinel pre- diets that Mir. Stedman will be Wrangells next postmaster.

AN ENJOYABLE TRIP
 ON STEAMER AFOGNAK
Captain Hyrvarinen Has the Sen
 tinel Man in Tow for Two Days

Through the courtesy of Su- perintendent l.. E. Schott of the A. P. A. the publisher of the Sentinel this week had a most delightful trip on the steamer skfognak to the company's fish traps south of Wrangell.
 As a host Capt. Hyvarinen of the Afognak is a prince, and it is certainly a treat to travel in his company.
 The first stop was made at the company's floating trap at Sunny Cove, 36 miles south of Wrangell. Another floating trap near Point Warde was fished, as was also a third trap near the mouth of Anan Creek. Very few fish were going up Anan Creek, although the fishermen in this vicinity seemed to be doing fair ly well. Just before the arrival of the Afognak at Anan creek a fisherman at that place shot one of his competitors. The compet- itor that was killed was a half grown black bear.
 The Afognak brought in 19, GOO salmon taken from three traps that had not been fished for two days.
 The run of salmon in the vicin- ity of Wrangell has been light so far this season, but the catches are increasing daily, and the month of August may witness a heavy run. All reports from north of Rake are that fish are more plentiful than for several years and the canneries north all have more fish than they can possibly handle.
 In addition to the interest one finds in visiting the fish traps of this region, there is the charm of the scenery along the route. From Ketchikan to the Kenai peninsula we have not seen any section of the Alaskan coast that compares with the Wrangell re- zion in scenic beauty. The nu- merous small islands with thelr dense growth appear like sub- merged vases with only the flow CTS above the water. The nu- merous fords, waterfalls, and snow crested mountains all go to make a vista of indescribable beauty. And the best part of it is that it is right here at home ours to enjoy any time we will break away long enough to get out on the water.
 It is unnecessary to state who looked after our interests while we were out of town.

TRAGEDY AT
 UNION BAY

A tragedy occurred at Union Bay Monday night when a Chinaman named Bo Sing was struck on the head with a cleaver by Jose Maria Rosas, a Mexican. Sings skull was cracked for seven and one half inches. Rosas was over powered and he and Sing were brought into town by Arthur Leonard. Sing was taken to the hospital not expected to live, while Rosas was turned over to Deputy U. s. Marshal H. J. Wallace.
 Tuesday afternoon Drs. Pigg and Shurick removed several pieces of fractured skull larger than a 25-cent piece, and cleaned out the crack it's entire length of seven and one half inches. Yes- terday Sing wasperfectly ration al and made a statement before U. s. Commissioner Weber in the presence of witnesses. The statement was taken in writing and signed by Sing. He de- clared that there had been no trouble whatever between him. self and Rosas. He said that he was asleep when he was struck on the side of the head and that as he raised up in bed he was chopped across the top of the head with a cleaver by Rosas. Rosas was then brought to Sings bed and he positively identified him as the man who had chopped his head open.
 Last night Rosas, the defend ant, was arraigned before U. s. Commissioner c. E. Weber. Sew eral witnesses were examined and the fact we'll established that Rosas is the man who committed the crime. Dr. Pigg testified that the condition of Sing is very critical. The defendant testified that he had been drunk and must have been crazy at the time as he had no recollection of the deed. He said he had never had the least trouble with Sing. He stated that he had never been in court before and that this was the first time he had ever been out of his right mind.
 After hearing the evidence U. s. Commissioner bound the de- fendant over pending the death or recovery of Sing. The bond of Rosas was fixed at $10, 900. Being unable to furnish the bond he was committed to the custody of Deputy U. s. Marshal H. J. Wallace who will take the pris- oner to Juneau in few days.

SCOTCH CURED HERRING
Supply Falls Far Short of
 Market Demand

The samples of Scotch cured herring packed fo- Jacob Johnson of Port Conclusion were disposed of in Seattle. The broker who handled them spoke very highly of chem, claiming that the trade de- manded herring of this cure.
 There are at present two New York buyers in Alaska for big her ring companies in the East who are looking for Scotch cured her ring. The latest advices are that the market is almost bare due to the English embargo still in force, and the Alaska pack will fall short of the demand. Scotch cured her. ring in Scotch style barrels brought S14 to ST 5 last week in Seattle.
 Scotch barrels are now in stock at the Western Cooperage Co. at Seattle, and are selling for less than the other barrels. Their ca pacity is 25o pounds, which is 50 pounds more than an ordinary bar rel. The advantages of this seems obvious: fewer barrels for the same amount ot fish, with less ex- pense and less freight to pay, while the price obt ainable is better.
 Herring packed Scotch style sell when others have no market. For advice as to the market conditions, wire the Bureau of Fisheries, or A. H. D. klie, TAO Garden St., Hoboken, New Jersey. lnforma- tion will be furnished gladly.

Train Young Men
u Who Stay at Home
BY A. r. WARE.

1.-The best job boy ever had OF ever
will have is job of attending good
isfchool. We know very well that some
times it is GARD matter to make him
see or believe this statement. This
writer has had pictured to him very
wildly some of the results following
the, four years war between the
states. 1t took from our homes the
best boys ana young men the world
has ever had. Some Of them were
partly educated, while many others
were .snatched away by the cruel hand
'efSwar, totally uneducated and wholly
.pIlprepared to NEE the great duties of
!.ater life, When this cruel war ended,
many Of these brave boys never came
back to their homes and to the moth
.ers WHO buckled on his armor, printed
upon his brow mothers kiss, and he
went forth like grand knight in de-
tenSe of Southern rights. Some of
them returned physical wrecks for
life, while others were mental Grip
Iples. Their time and opportunities for
education were lost during the four
years of war. Disorganized conditions
which always follow the close of war,
render educational advantages al
most impossible.
There will no doubt come to the
minds of our boys left at home now
by age limit, many flattering oppor-
tuhities for making little money,
some great temptations also will
come to parents. But can we allow
our boys at home to be mental Grip
pleB all their days just for little job
that may come there to attempt life's
work totally unprepared? 1t took our
southern people long time to- over
come the results caused by mental
cripples of young manhood following
the Civil War.
yThe young man who neglects his
education now will surely find himself
aimental cripple when the present war
is,over. The young man who has given
UP home and loved ones, joined our
armies, preparing to face an enemy in
a iforeign land has sacrificed much
and may become physical cripple.
But the young man who remains at
home and neglects his education is
facing battle that may leave him a
mental wreck for all after life. The
mental results that followed the Civil
War should teach us an impressive
lesson. H%wI

humanitarian work are striving with
