 Tie trappers are catching very few furs and indications pint to a bad winter for tas Indians, as fur signs everywh where are scarce. In t,.e- the Indian trappers say that prospects for trappers this winter are the worst that they remember in this district.
 There is 8 lot of Illness among the Natives g. present. and the medical missionary has 2 patients under his care. he told ne recent ly. He said that 1t resemblei Spanish influenza but that 1t was not this epidemic.
 Yesterday the first winter mail arrived; the first mail since navi gation e4oseG on the Stikine. which was on October 7Ih. Really. you people in Wrangell are fortunate in many ways. Here. We are isolated for about seven months after the boar service on the river has ceased. In fact one would rather live among the Mornons.
 The copy of the Wrangell Sent incl dated October 31, was indeed very welcome. Of course other subscribers to the Sentinel here received their copy. and the Sent incl was the only paper showing q complete list of passengers on the iII-fated Princess Sophia, that reached anyore or us- You know that the amount of mail during the winter Is very limited. to Telegraph Creek. ana consequent ly few papers and parcels reach us through the mail in winter.
 Wishing you success for the New Year,

tie Chance of Immediate
Wage Reduction.

An appeal TO the country to get
sounded by Secretary of Labor Wilson
last night in a statement declaring
that labor organizations are in a
better position to resist reductions in
wages than they have been before and
asserting that it would be Short
sighted for any business man to run
the chance of destroying his industry
for the opportunity of brief period
of lower wages and cheaper material
Defnobilization of the military forces
and return to normal industrial
basis would be easy, Mr.. Wilson said,
il every business man were filled
with the idea that he should get his
establishment running on as large and
effective a basis as it was prior to the
war.
THE workers are in a position to
resist wage reductions" said Mr. Will
son, in directing attention to the fact
that they have laid by reserves from
their high war pay. Il fear that if
any attempt be made to force down
the wages of the workers to any con-
siderable extent there will be a re-
sistance long enough to prevent it's
accomplishment"
If we have any large amount of
unemployment, however. we will have
period of industrial unrest and there
is no one who can tell where the
social upheayai would land us,
whether we would have a repetition
of the French revolution or of the
Russian bolshesik movement or
whether good or evil would come out

Shortage of Sugar
Beet Seed Predicted

A serious shortage of sugar-beet
seed is predicted for the spring of
1921 unless arrangements are made
this year for a larger increase in
sugar-beet seed acreage in the United
States.
The situation for 1921 is serious
because of the shortage of sugar-beet
seed in Europe as compared with
former years, and because of the in
creased activity in beet-sugar pro-
duction in European beet seed on
I'D and Of the European produc-
ton this year and next. The most
recent information in regard to the
sugar-beet seed supply for 1920 in
dicates that there is at present a
shortage of from $4,000 to 10000
bags.
The department of agriculture
urges that every effort should be
made to produce in this country dur
ing 1919, and especially in 1920, all
the good quality sugar-beet seed pos
sible up to the American require
ments.
