Had Not Seen Him
 in Twenty Years

One day this week Earl West heard some one rapping. When he opened the door of his cottage he stood facing a stranger, but the visitor did not long remain a stranger. Earl looked him over for a moment and then said: Hello, Guy! What are you doing up in this country?" The visitor was G. E. Craig, a boyhood friend of MT. West, whom he had not seen in 20 years. MT. Craig is district manager of the marine department of the Fairbanks Morse company. His headquar- ters are at Seattle.

LINDMAN HOME AGAIN
Returns From Juneau With a Re-
 markable Geological Collection

Councilman E. A. Lindman re- turned on the Jefferson Saturday from a trip to Juneau. It was not business that took Mr. Lind man away, and it was anything but pleasure. Last month he was hurried to Juneau in a speed boat to be operated on for appendicitis. The surgeon decided that his ap- pendix needed some attention, but that that was not the princi- pal cause of his suffering. After two or three incisions were made it was possible to open a door to the interior department of his anatomy. It was then found that the rock pile inside the patient had become so large that he was not equal to the agonizing task of carrying it around any longer. Two hundred and fifty-nine gall stones (some of them boulders) were removed. After the opera tion the nurse said that she then understood why the surgeon had hesitated before beginning the operation-he was simply trying to make up his mind whether to cut or to blast.

Name of Local Citizen
 Becoming Known Outside

The 1919 edition of Who's Who' contains a brief, crisp, per sonal sketch of a we'll known cit izen of Wrangell.
 Who's Who" is a biographical dictionary of notable living men and women. It contains the name of every living American whose position or achievements make his personality of general interest, and tells just the things every intelligent person wants to know about those who are most conspicuous in every walk of life. In the pages of Who's Who" is mirrored the national life in all its phases. An attentive read ing of the life sketches of this volume discloses many extraordi- nary examples of industry, many deeds of noble and benefcent achievement, which are over- looked in cursory reading, but which, nevertheless are full of valuable suggestions for the thoughtful mind.
 The Wrangell citizen whose name and biography appears in this standard volume of reference is none other than Rev. H. P. Corser, rector of St. Philips Church, and author of Totem Lore. The only other citizen of Alaska whose name appears in "Who's Who" is Governor Thos. Riggs, Jr.
 This week we learned that Mr.. Corser's fame has spread beyond the pages of Who's Who" and his name will probably soon ap- pear on the roster of one of the most notable organizations in America.
 On Tuesday MT. Corser re- ceived an invitation to join the Authors League of America, Inc, of which Rex Beach is pres ident, and Booth Tarkington, vice president. Among the members of the executive council are such notable authors as Winston Chur- chill, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Ida M. Tarbell, George Barr Nc Cutcheon, Upton Sinclair, Ger trude Atherton, Charles Dana Gibson, Rupert Hughes and George Ade.

THE FUR MARKET

ST. LOUIS-The strong de-
 mand for furs of practically all
 kinds that has prevailed quite steadily since spring still contin- ues. The available stocks, par ticularly of~the American staples, are probably the smallest ever known in the history of the trade.
 The Russian government re- gently placed certain restrictions on the shipment of furs out of Russia, which will naturally cur tail the quantities expected from that source.
 Now that peace is practically declared and the embargo on shipments to Germany and her allies lifted, a new source of de- mand may be expected from those quarters, and as the principal supply will be in this market, there is reason to expect liberal orders from that part of Europe which has been closed to our SUD- ply for the past five years.
 This year there has been some complaint on the part of shippers of raw furs regarding slow re- turns. In very few cases has this been the fault of the fur house, but due to slow traffic con- ditions. If any shipper of raw furs finds that returns are not being made promptly after the furs are actually received he should consign his future ship ments to some other house. The of the fur houses are prompt in making returns because they realize that that is the only way in which they can keep the trapper satisfied and receive his future shipments.

Pedro Rodriguez Dies

Pedro Rodriguez, a Mexican, aged A years, passed away last Friday afternoon, after a pro- longed illness. Mr. Rodriguez came to Alaska from Zacatecas, Mexico, in 1908. He worked for a time in Ketchikan and Loring. In 1914 he came to Wrangell where he lived until his death. He was a quiet, peaceable man, and earned his living by honest labor. During the last few months of his life he was unable to work. About a month ago his funds became exhausted. As soon as this fact was learned by the Spanish. speaking people of this locality they raised a fund for his relief. Medical attention and care was provided for him as long as he was alive, and after his death the remains were given a Christian burial. The majority of the Spanish.speaking people employed by the local canneries are not Mexicans and were never in Mexico, but the tie of language in a foreign country is stronger than people generally realize.

Fred Becker Laid to
 Rest at Ketchikan

The funeral services over the remains of the late Clarence F. Becker, who was accidentally killed at the Karheen Packing company plant at Craig last Thursday, were solemnized at the M. E. Church in Ketchikan at 2 o'clock this afternoon, the Rev. F. R. Falconer officiating.
 Clarence F. Becker was 27 years of age, being born in Se- attle May 31, 1892. He was mar ried in 1913 to Miss Margaret Reid, and was blessed with three children, Carl, a son aged 5, born in Seattle, Frederick, a son of three years, and Jack, a baby of Il months, born at Craig.
 The deceased was a mechanic, having served his apprenticeship with his father in machine shop at Anacortes, Washington, and later at the Acme Iron Works at Seattle. At the time of his death he was associated with his father, c. G. Becker, and his brother. D. s. Becker, in their machine shop at Craig. The deceased was well known throughout the vicin- ity of Craig as being a first class machinist. Last Thursday he was called by the Karheen Pack ing company to assist them with work at their plant, when the ac- cident occurred. MT. Becker was not only popular among his co. workers, but with citizens as we'll. He was secretary of the Commercial Club at Craig, secre- tary of the Loyal Order of Moose, and the representative of Alaska Labor Union No. 5. After the services at the church, the re- mains were taken to the local cemetery for interment. Times
