 While only general in- structions have been received by this office from the Provost Marshal General, it is expected that con- plete instructions and the necessary blanks, etc., for registration pur- poses will arrive at an early date, and this letter Is being forwarded to you in order that you may take such initial steps as may be neces- sarv to carry out the intents and purposes of the seleCtiVe draft or conscription law.

 Get as much publicity as you can without expense as to the age limits. as well as the compulsory feature of the registration. All citizens who have passed their twenty-tlrst birthday and have not yet attained their thirty-frst birth day, are required to register on date to be hereafter named by the President, at the registration office of the precinct in which is located their permanent homes. A wlllful neglect or refusal Of any person who has reached the age of 2l years but who is under 31 years of age, to register on the aate of registration. is a crime punishable by imprison- ment for one year, without the alter native of fine, and all stacker" will be duly prosecuted Persons sick or unavoidably away from home may register by mail by obtaining. in advance, card, filling the same out properly and mailing it to the board of supervisors of their home town or judicial division, so as to reach the board in due course.

BIG DRIVE WEEK FOR
 RED CROSS
Local Chapter Will Do Its Full Share Toward Raising One Hundred Million Dollars Re- quired for the War Fund.

June 1895 has been set aside for the Big Drive for one hundred million dollars for the Red Cross war fund.
 IMMEDIATELY is the great word as we contemplate the week of June 1925, which President Wilson has set aside for the nationwide campaign for one hundred million dollars for the Red Cross war fund of the war council which the President re- gently appointed - All firms, lodges, fraternal organizations, clubs and commercial organiza. tions to fallin line is an important feature of this great Red Cross Rush Drive.
 At present the Wrangell Chap. ter numbers about lS4.
 During Big Drive week there will be a house to house canvass: if we are to favorably compete with our sister chapters in this great work our number of asso- ciatcs must swell into the hun. dreds.
 It is hoped that this committee will meet with the earnest, ready, and willing response on the part of every man, woman, and child, as has heretofore been accorded the Red Cross workers.
 This is .a work that vitally touches every individual in our country.
 The International Conference of Geneva held in 1863, recom- mended That there exist in every country | committee whose mission consists in cooperating in times of war with the hospital service of the armies by all means in it's power. "
 The Geneva Convention of f1864 and the Geneva Convention of 1906, revised the treaty of Gene va (called the Red Cross Treaty. and gave definite status to certain officially recognized volunteer aid societies. These societies, be- cause of the character of the badge, a red cross on a white ground, are universally known as Red Cross Societies. The last week in June will be observed as Big Drive week. In reality this will be a big drive against autocracy. It affects you. Make it a personal matter.
 Shoulder a just share of the responsibility of fraising this hun dred million dollar fund.

and conhne the tidal currents to the dredged channel.
 z. A channel 26 feet deep at mean lower low water, 200 feet on the bottom, with proper eide slopes and easements at bends will meet the requirements of present com me9ce. As the material to be eX- caNated is suitable for filling the protecting dike can be constructed by the deposit ot this material in the form of a broad levee well above high. tiae level. This levee ccnld be protected and preserved by marsh grass and willows such as cover the Stikine River delta. As the tide flats are exposed dur ing the lower stages of the tide and no excessive currents are an llClpated tue DulkneddS required TOT the fill should be simple and in- expensive. The use of a tow bulk head for toe of slopes and fash boards to regulate ahe filling will be sufficient for large part of the dike. but the estimate provides for constructing the ordinary two or three step timber type of bulk head on the channel side of the en- tire ill should this be necessary. The length of the proposed channel will be approximately 47, 800 feet, and of the dike 31, 600 feet.

 ENGINEER OFFICE To: The Chef of Engineers.
 United States Army.
 I. In compliance wlthlnstruCtions in letter from the office of the Chef of Engineers, dated April ,, Io16, the following report, with maps, upon survey of Dry Straits. Alaska is submitted.
 ?. The survey was commenced on May 22, 1916 and completed on August 3, 1916.
 8 s33.srhesohieet ofthe survey was to determine the amount and char acter of material to be removed to provide a suitable ship canal con- necting Summer Straits with Fred click Sound, and the probable char acter and effects ot tidal currents in the channel after completion.
 1. The route of the proposed canal was sounded in detail and the cross sections were extended to cover, in general way, the tide flats in the vicinity BoringS with a water jet were made to investigate the character of material to be re- moved and to determine whether or not any rock would be en- countered in dredging the canal or in it's subsequent enlargement. The material found was fine sand silt, which can be readily eXcaEated by hvdranlic dredge at small cost. No rock was found within the fro- posed canal limits, and 10 indca- ton that it would be encountered in any reasonable enlargement of the canal in future.
 5. The tidal data required were obtained from simultaneous read ings of tide galges in Summer Straits and Frederick Sound. These data indicate a nearly con stant difference of head between Frederick Sound and Summer Straits st about 14 inches both dur ing flood and ebh tides. This head will produce q current through the canal after completion of from 1 to 2 miles per hour.
 The mean tidal range is I3. 5 :eet.
 The maximum tidal range k 25.5 feet.
 The mean tidal level is S.r feel above mean lower low water.
 The highest known tide Is 2I. 5 feet above above mean lower low water.
 The lowest Known tide IS 4.2 feet below mean lower low water.
 6. The results of the survey in- lcate that d deep channel can De dredged through Dry Straits at reasonable cost, and that there will probably be sufficient Current through completed chaHnel 10 re- duce the maintenance cost 10 q mininum providing a dilie is con- struc,ed from Dry to Wilson Islands 10 cut off the di-eharse from Silkine Rivei with its slit.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn LewIs

The market opened active and strong with sales of 36S,7 shares during the first hour. Later a sharp reaction was caused on news of the sinking of an American ship and the closing of the port of New York to outbound vessels The break in the market looked a good deal like drive by floor traders. Stocks were well taken on the decline the market closing with a sharp rally in progress. While reactions are to be expected. the trend appears to be up- ward Copper stocks give promise of higher prices from the present levels and important developments in the cop per metal markets are looked for be- fore long.
 The present market bears a close re- lation to the war markets Of 1915 and 1916. In those years our industries made supplies for the allies at high prices. This year we are making sup plies for the allies and the Uinted States. The prices will be lower, but the volume will be greater Our cor porations will have opportunities not only to safeguard accumulated surplus, but to add handsomely to that surplus and at the same time pay reasonable taxes toNcarry on the war. Standard steels. equipments, sugars and eastern trunk fine rails are des- tined for higher levels, according to re- liable reports.
 American Car & Foundry declared the regular dividend and l per cent extra.

SAVE AMMUNITION,
 SAY CLUB MEMBERS
MESA OFFICE The Orange Blossom
 Phone 25

MESA, June 2.-Since the receipt by the Mesa Rifle club of 200 rifles and several thousand rounds of ammunition considerable discussion has been had regarding a ruling of the executive committee to the effect that each mem Der should have only 20 rounds of am munition to take to his home.
 At the time the $500 was raised to purchase the rifles as a possible neces- sity to safeguard the town, the majority of those present understood that 120 rounds of ammunition went with each gun. Now they are informed that only 20 rounds may be taken home and that under the ruling the entire 120 rounds are to be shot away in target practice. This becomes a serious proposition un- der recent order made by the depart ment that additional rifles and possibly ammunition would not be furnished Last night at the meeting of the rifle club, Mayor Beville brought up the matter of conserving the ammunition supply and was seconded by Judge
