s The Dart sailed Friday morn,
ing on her maiden trip to the
West Coast. She was well loaded
having more than thirty. five tons
of freight.
The vessel was in charge of
captain Kenneth Talmage, Mas
ter. Leo Mccormack made the
trip in the capacity of purser
while George Northrope assumed
iIhe important Office of chief en-
gineer.
A number of people were at
the dock to witness the vessels
departure which aroused almost
as much interest as a launching.
The Dart is a picturesque little
steamer and presented a pretty
sight as it steamed out with its
decks full of passengers waving
to those ashore.
Owing to the fact that some of
the passengers bought their
tickets on board the vessel we
are unable to give a complete
passenger list. A partial list is as
follows:
For Craig: A. A. HUMPHREYS,
Roy Tarvinen, J. R. Bender, Ben
Dalzell, Edith Garner, Marie

For Deweyville: Mrs. Charles

The weather the past few
weeks has been ideal for picnic
ing. Gasboat excursions to any
of the nearby points and a day
on the beach with lunch served
in the open, is something very
much worth while. Last Sunday
there were several parties out.
The party which A. JacobitZ
took to Mill Creek on the May "
came near having a bear for their
guest at supper. At 6 O'Clock
the party had a bountiful supper
on the beach. When the meal
was finished the party embarked
on the gasboat and at once left
for Wrangell. Not long after
they left Bert McCay noticed a
bear smelling around where the
supper had been served. Mr..
McCay seized his rifle and put
the bear in a condition to have
his hide removed without pro-
test. Mr.. McCay came into town
the next day and brought some
of the picnicers steaks from the
bear that had followed so closely
in their tracks at Mill Creek.

been ore Of the principal stock
holders in the Wilson & Sylvest
er Mill Co. has retired from the
company.
Fred Wilson who has been
manager of the mill for a num-
Der of years retired as manager
on June l. The management of
the mill is now in the hands of
President H. ". Gartley.
George Sylvester is now vice
president of the Company. r.
Matheson continues as secretary
and treasurer.
When asked how soon the re-
building Of the mill would begin.
Mr.. Gartley stated that the plans
and details for rebuilding are be-
ing worked out as rapidly as pos
sibie.
The boilers at the mill went
through the fire with but slight
damage. They have been eX-
amined and found to be good for
service.
1t is q source of qualification to
the residents of Wran2eil to know
that the mill is to be rebuilt. the
absence of its payroll this season
is being felt by the business men
of Wrangell. The Sentinel hopes
to see the mill in operation again
before the end of the year, in
order that it may be ready for
business at the beginning of next
season just as though no fire had
occurred.
