OF LOCAL INTEREST

The extreme high tide this week did no damage in Wrangel owing to the absence of wind. At Ketchikan the high tide was backed by a stiff southeaster and flooded the engine room of the Ketchikan Power company on the water front, putting out two of the fires in the engine room, near the water and f1oated sawdust and timber about in the yard before rece ding. Work was stopped at the mill for about two hours until the fires could be rebuilt and steam gotten up to start the machinery going again.

ISKOOT TO COME INTO
 ITS OWN

George A. Clothier, Esq.,, dis trict mining engineer for District No. l, which embraces all of northwestern B. C., returned last week from a trip up the Is- koot river on the Hazel B III. Owing to the snow Mr. Clothier was unable to go over the coun- try to his entire satisfaction. When seen by the Sentinel re- porter MT. Clothier said:
 ''The country along the Iskoot looks entirely satisfactory to me. 1 am coming back next May or June with a crew of six men and will then go oyer the country thoroughly and find what it's min eralization is. The country looks similar to that of Portland canal where such good showings have recently been made
 When 1 come back am going to put in all the time l can spare on the Iskoot and Stikine rivers. The talk we have heard so long about the Iskoot not being a nav igable stream is all a delusion. There is al, ol tely no question that ore could be shipped down the Iskoot with little or no difficulty"

WAR
 ON WRANGELL
Oscar Weston Given Six Months for Wilfully Firing Into the Popu-
 lated District of Wrangeu

War was declared on Wrangell Saturday night by Oscar Weston, who, after mixing drinks too freely, became enraged over inn aginery offenses.
 Weston went aboard a gas boat tied to the slip of the Colum- bia & Northern dock and opened fire on the town with 280 Ross high power rife. Fortunately he aimed a little too high to do any harm, but the whistling of bull lets overhead was not very well come music. The officers, know ing that Weston was insane for the time being, and wishing to take him alive, permitted Charlie Olesen, who knew Weston pretty well, to undertake his arrest. Through a clever subtrifuge
 
 Olesen succeeded in getting aboard the boat and disarming the madman.
 Monday morning Weston was arraigned before U. s. Commis- sioner Weber on a complaint sworn to by H. J. Wallace, charging him with firing into the populated section of Wrangell. At the trial Weston appeared sober and contrite, and freely plead guilty to the charge.
 The Commissioner gave Wes- ton the light sentence of six months.

CONTROL OF PRESS.
Seems to Be Given Michaelis By New
Regulations.

Copenhagen, Sept. The Berlin press
is decidedly non -committal as to the
promised blessings of the press bureaus
which are to be established in connec-
tion with every departmenteof the gov
ernment
The system OF Chancellor Michaelis
is based upon the idea of enabling news
paper reporters to obtain news direct
from the information bureaus of the
various ministries, all of which are
placed under the direct charge of the
chancellor's press chief Baron Won
Braun has been selected for that post.
He explained to newspaper men that
the chancellor of course had no thought
of attempting to influence the press,
and desired merely to guard against un
founded criticism under which the gov
ernmcnt had suffered often in the past,
and to keep control of the whole publci-
ty organization in his own hands.
The chancellor was responsible, the
baron explained, for the entire policy of
the empire, and therefore, was entitled
to demand that all the press departments
of the various ministries should instruct
the press along the lines of his policy
