As hosts the A. Bs. did them selves proud at their monthly so- cial gwen at the Redmen's hall last evening.
 Progressive whist was first on the program ard was played with a lively interest. Prizes were awarded as follows: ladies first prize, Mrs. J. G.

VISITS WRANGELL SCHOOLS
Prof. L. D. Henderson, Territorial Superintendent of Public Instruc-
 struction In Town, Last Week

L. D. Henderson, territorial superintendent of public nstruc- tion, arrived from ketchikan on the City of Seattle and spent Friday visiting the Wrangell Public schools. MT. Henderson left Sunday for Petersburg, from which point he returned to Ju- neau on the Spokane Wednesday.
 Since receiving his appoint ment last year MT. Henderson has visited nearly all the schools in Alaska which has required him to travel thousands of miles. The trip from Juneau, his home, to Nome is like crossing the conti- nent.
 Mr. Henderson is Alaska's first superintendent of public instruc- tion. Heretofore the Governor has been ex- -officio school super intendent. In our opinion this was a very poor arrangement. The interests of the school are too vital, and the duties of the office to great for it to be handled by the Governor whose manifold duties make it impossible for him to give school matters the atten- tion they deserve. Mr. Hender- son is giving his whole time to the work of making the schools more efficient. The bulletins we have looked over during the past few months indicate that MT. Henderson's work is effective and that the standards are being raised in the schools throughout Alaska.

The WrangelI Sentinel was in trouble agaia this week. We smashed up a press, and there would have been no paper today had it not teen for our friend,
 Mir. Gingrass of the machine shop who sent Dave Lewis to the Sentinel office to take care of our grief. The machine shop is one of Wrangells best assets. In fact the canneries, loggers, fish ermen and printers would be out of commission at times were 1t not for the machine shop. Con- sequentIy the machine shop is building up a good business. AL though this is the dullest season of the year there are now three machinists employed in addition to Mir. Gingrass, the owner, who is also: on the working force. Collis Green is foreman.

 ing cleared the atmosphere, as MT. Grant is now ab- r. solved absolutely from any
 responsibility or connection
 whatever with the matter" ;"
 Through a conversation we had with MT. Grant the next day after his trial we learned that he considered that it was the rankest injustice to have under taken to hold him responsible for liquor having Leen found in a house that he had rented out and had nothing to do with further than to receive the rent, he being the owner.
 The U. s. Commissioner in- formed us that at the time the raid was made there was no one in the house, and the officers believed it to be a vacant house. To be more explicit, they considered it a partly fur nished house with no tenant.
 It seems that during the past year several men, including Jim Matheson, who are out of town most of the time would occupy the house when in town and each pay his pro rata of the rent. When MT. Grant was on trial he went on the witness stand in his own behalf and swore that the house was rented at the time the seizure was made.
 At the trial of MT. Grant the jury stood three for conviction and nine for acquittal. While this showed that the unequal division of opinion was in MT. Grants favor it did not finally dispose of the case and was very far from being as satisfac- tory to him as a verdict of ac- ouittal would have been. But the turn that affairs have taken since the trial have placed Mir. Grant Tn a different light.

MAY DREDGE CHANNEL IN
 DRY PASS
Territorial Road Con- mission Has Matter Under Consideration Canneries Willing to
 Stand Part of Expense

The members of the Alaska territorial Road Commission, T. E. P. Keepan. E. C. Hurlbutt and H. T. Tripp. have lately been visiting the Coast states. confer- ring with parties interested in improvements to navigation in Southeastern Alaska, of whom the cannerymen represent the most important interests. The Road Commission is permitted under the law to use part of it's funds for improving the water ways, and plans for such im- proVements are now being per- fected.
 The matter of dredging a channel in Dry Pass, on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, was recently discussed with those interested in that section, includ- ing the Northwestern Fisheries company, Karheen Packing com pany, Swift Arthur Crosby com pany. Columbia Salmon company, North Pacific Trading < Packing company and others. and it was proposed to appropriate $500 for the work if the private interests would contribute $1.00O In View of their ready co operation, how ever. it has been decid ed to raise the appropriation to $250O, and endeavor to have $1200 or $500 appropriated by the interests most affecte and the canneries appear willing to contribute ti:eir share to the larger fund. The dredging will be of great Eerefit, as at present boats can only go through on a medium high tide, while with the proposed channel it will be possible to go through at half tide. Permission of the War Department must be secuted before the work can proceed, but it is believed that this will be readily granted.
 The Road Commission is also considering the clearing of the channel in Rocky Pass between Kuiu Island and kuppreanotf ls- land, which will also be of great assistance to canners operating in the greater part of Southeast : ern Alaska. A plan has also been under consideration for some time to build a road from the head of l\lawack Inlet across Prince of Wales Island to karta Bay, but it is impossible to tell how soon this work can be started.

FINED S65O ! FOR HAVING ! BOOZE IN HIS
 POSSESSION
Jim Matheson Volunta- rily Admits Owner ship of Liquor Seized by Officers and There
 by Solves a Mystery

7 E /
 Saturday afternoon U. s. Com missioner c. E. Weber fined Jim Matheson $650 and costs for hay ing intoxicating liquors in his possession. The fine was paid.
 Saturday forenoon MT. Mathe- son arrived in town and volunta- rily went to the court house and informed the U. s. Commissioner that the liquor that had been seized by the officers in a cottage on Cow alley early last week, and which had caused a com plaint to be made against J4 G. Grant, was his (Matheson's) property.
 Before considering the issuance of a complaint the Commissioner askedMr. Matheson several qqes- tions under oath, after which he was excused.
 Later in the day a complaint was sworn out against MT. Math- eson and Marshal H. J. Waaace brought him before the I S.. Commissioner. The complaint was read to the defendant, and he plead guilty to the charge.
 MT. Matheson's answers to the questions that were pro- pounded to him by the Commis. sioner before the complaint was issued made up a statement about as follows:
 II have lived off and on
 for the past two years on the
 premises from which twelve
 boxes of liquor were taken
 this week l was living in
 the house late in November
 or early in December. With
 in the past six months 1 have
 had access to the premises
 at any time. 1 stored 15
 boxes each containing one
 gallon of whiskey, more or
 less, some time in October,
 1917, and removed two of
 said boxes early in December
 1917. Therefore, had thir-
 teen boxes of liquor, more or
 less, on said premises on or
 after January 1, 1918. These
 boxes of liquor were my per
 sonal property and no one
 else Was interested with me.
 The liquor cost me about
 $5.50 per gallon or box.
 In disclosing the above infor- nation MT. Matheson with his own words convicted himself of having violated an act passed by the 64th Congress "To prohibit the manufacture or sale of alco- holic liquors in the Territory of Alaska, or for other purposes. . Any erson violating this act may be fined in any sum not exceed ing 5000, or sentenced to jail for any length of time not ex- ceeding one year, or both. As stated in the opening paragraph the amount of the fine imposed on MT. Matheson was $650 and costs. Mir. Matheson left town Saturday evening and the report CT did not get to see him. But one of MT. Matheson's friends quotes him as having said;
 q am not the man to see
 some one else under a cloud
 of suspicion for any act of
 mine, and just as soon as 1
 learned that Johnny Grant
 had been charged with be-
 ing the owner of booze that.
