The Wrangell sentinel., 1919-09-11

There has been a long recog- nized need in Wrangell for a place where sick and destitute Natives might be taken for care and treatment.
 Ensign Carruthers offered to finish the upper story of the Sal vation Army hall for such a pur- pose if funds could be procured to buy the lumber. Mrs. Oscar Carlson circulated a subscription list among the business men and $S0.00 was quickly contributed. This will be used to start the work.
 Any request for the Salvation Army always meets with immedi- ate response from the public gen orally. Wrangell could not have better and more efficient Army workers than Ensign and Mrs. Carruthers. They are tireless in their unselfh service in the work to which their lives are dedicated.

Concerning a Park for Wransell

During the past year certain citizens have from time to time spoken of the need of a park for Wrangell. The first of this week several citizens looked over the little corner of forest beyond the cemetery and decided that it would be an ideal place for a park. Here the spruce trees afford shel- ter and shade; a mountain stream furnishes the purest water that could be desired. while the out look over the bay is sight upon which to feast the eyes.
 This little area which is so filled with natural loveliness is located on the public domain. The town council will be asked to file upon it. It is thought that there will be no difficulty in obtaining a title to the property. The Redmen's lodge found no difficulty in ob- taining title to a nearby tract for use as cemetery, and every one knows that a playground for the living is certainly of as much importance as resting place for the dead.
 When some of the interested parties got talking over the mat ter again the first of the week they were of the opinion that We should take advantage of the good weather and do something at once towards making the grounds attractive. The word was passed around, and on Tues day afternoon about 50 citizens went out to the grounds and spent a portion of the afternoon clearing away the rubbish and underbrush and cleaning up the grounds. It is surprising how much was accomplished in that short time.
 The park site is just far enough from town to make it seem out in the country. and the trip back and forth is delightful whether made on land or water.
 1. C. Bjorge was public spirited enough to make several trips with his auto truck taking people out to the grounds in the afternoon and bringing them back in the early evening.

sources. and exclusion of capital. by reason of onerous regulation or inadequate protection, will not lead to healthy industrial development or to attraction of population in some degree commensurate with the resources of the territory. From what one sees of the people of Alas ka, one can easily believe them now capable ot attending To their own affairs, not only from the mere standpoint of law, order and per. sonal profit, but as trustees tot the generations of Americans 10 come. They are too intelligent, too interested in the future of the territory, too alive to the perma- nent self-interest of their own fam lilies settled in the land to allow those resources to be waslefullv
 v expended. On the other hand, they have the capacity and knowledge needed to develop them so that the people of the whole United States might profit much more largely from this great storehouse of plerty.
 The old Roman poet, Virgil, tells of how the homeless wanderers from ancient Troy, finally landing in Italy, could not resist the lure of the land, it's beautifully tinted sea and snow-capped mountains, and so settled thereon forever. Thus, in similar fashion, the pass ing traveller feels the lure of this land of Alaska. The impressions of beauty and of power that are made upon him must be lasting and the spell cast over him by the mountains and the sea and the charm Of the highly hospitable and home-loving people who lnhablt II, is something not to be forgotten.

Two Indians from the Liard country were adventurous enough to make the trip down on the Hazel B this week. They had never seen a gasboat and the en- zine of the Hazel B filled them with the deepest awe and curios- ity. But that was nothing con- pared to the thrills they eXperi- enced at their first picture show last night. They grew so excited that they stood up in the aisle throughout the performance. This morning when they went out on the dock at low tide they asked in amazement, What the mat ter? River fall fast!' It is doubtful whether Wrangell has many visitors who are more in- terested in her skyscrapers and other evidences of civilization than these men who are spending every minute sightseeing.

FISH WOULDN'T BE FOOLED
Denizens of the Deep Simply Refused

n Made of Cotton.

Even fish knows that when an out
slider tries to monkey with American
business he makes trouble.
1t was decided at Washington by
the powers that you should be coaxed
into raging fish hunger. Pieces in
the papers were written to make your
mouth water for fish; posters showing
beautifully colored fish, lying in beds
of parsley, and cool, fresh vegetables
were stuck up in your town railroad
station and post office. BY all the ex-
pert calculations Of the prOpagandists
you were soon shrieking for fish; you
were turned into a man who would
perish if he couldn't have his fish
every day.
"Righto!" they said. "COttOn isn't

BOLSHEvlK COURSE OF STUDY
interesting to Speculate as to Just
What Would Be Appropriate Uni
versity Curriculum.

The former Danish minister to Pc
trograd is authority for the statement
that the bolsheviki have established
a special revolutionary school at Mos
cow under the direction of Professor
Radek, the revolutionary leader,
where agitators from all parts of the
world are receiving instruction ana
fitting themselves for missionary
work
It would be interesting to receive
prospectus of DIR. Radek's university
and an outline of it's course of study.
Presumably little attention will be
paid to bomb throwing, the handling
of explosives, and the like, these being
purely elementary branches. one
would look rather for special en-
phasis to be laid upon the Theory
and Art of BolsheviZing and APP
proved Methods of Dealing With the
Bourgeoisie and securing their pos
sessions without using physical force.
Advanced students might take up the
Droblems. how to collect taxes with
out taking money away from any,
body and the counter-revolution and
how to counter it.

To Make Statues of Silver.

Charles e. SWEET has discovered a
preparation of silver which may be
made in a plastic form like wax or
CLAW and also thinned down TO the con
sistency of paint, according to the Lit
lie Journal, Cambridge, Mass. Copper
copper alloys and bronzes may be
worked IN. the same manner. by SIM
pie technology the preparation may be
reduced to the pure metal without any
change in it's form or shape.
A sculptor may work it in the rouna
or in the relief, just as he does his
usual materials, or in dilution it may
be applied to a metallic surface with
a brush 1t greatly simplifies the prob
lem OF artistic work of high order,
although, OF course, it is more exper-
sive than stamped ware. Medaiions
and figures may thus be presented in
the original without the need OF cast
ing. and such articles as SILVER sets
may be made of which every member
is original and unique. 1t provides a
new medium for artists. The inyen-
ton has been patented.

aciory" of Old Sailing Days.

Looking forward to a revival OF
American shipping under new condi-
lions. one can cheerfully enough accept
the opinion Of veteran seaman, talk
ing to a young reporter, that the
"glory" of the old sailing days is much
overrated. The billowing canvas was
impressive; but the facts of the case,
confides this mariner, are that the
sailors had to live in quarters that
were badly ventilated, If ventilated at
all, badly lighted and cramped almost
beyond endurance. A steady diet OF
bareback and "salt horse" mitigated
the glory Of the sea, while chanteys,
although they helped things along,
were often compulsory, and little joy
