The Fur Market

This year there are large stocks of turs still on hand. The strike of the fur workers forced manufac- turers to shut down, thus shutting off the big outlet for all kinds of American furs. Consequently, the dealers are still carrying large quantities of the furs they bought from the trapper, and these at an enormous loss. Another reason was the over indulgence in specu. lation which caused values to be- come inflated to such an extent as to interfere with the healthy pro- gress of the fur industry and rem dered 1t unsafe for those who wished to operate in conservative and legitimate manner. The foreign markets have also been badly crip. pied owing to the low value ot money in the different countries. These have all contributed to bring about present conditions which are not what had been hoped for.

The marriage of Miss Florence Mae Billion, and MT. Lewis Carlton Scribner was solemnized Monday afternoon at 2:30 by Rev. H. P. Corser.

While a student at the Wrangell high school, she was treasurer of the Junior Red Cross, and has been serving as secretary of the Presbyterian Aid Society of which she is a member. Sheis a beauti- full girl and has held a prominent place among the young people with whom she has associated.

Matrimony Is Committed
 Under Difficulties

Mir. and Mrs. Ole Johnson, strangers who came from the States to be married, and MT. and Mrs. l.. c. Scribner of Wrangell who were anxious to go south on the Jefferson, found considerable difficulty in setting a definite time for their respective we'd dings. The law states that a mar riage license must be issued by a United States Commissioner,
 and Wrangell is without one at present, Judge Thomas being in Oregon for the holidays. On Sat- urday the state of affairs was cabled to Judge Jennings, but even judge is helpless at times.
 However, a territorial law pro- vides that the contracting par ties in making application for a license, may make proper affi- davits before a notary, and this provision was compiled with by both couples. The U. s. Com- missioner at Petersburg agreed to issue the licenses when the proper regulations had been met here, and so the two weddings followed one another on Monday.

Forest District For Alaska
 Is Created
Headquarters Will Be in Juneau With Charles H. Flory in Charge as Dis trict Forester.

In order to get the administra- ton nearer to the ground, Secre- tary Meredith, of the Depart ment of Agriculture, has just ap- proved the establishment on Jan uary l of a new National Forest District, for Alaska. This will be known as the Alaska District, with headquarters at Juneau, and will be in charge of Charles H. Flory, as District Forester. Mr. Flory has been Superintendent of Alaska National Forests for the past two years. with headquar- ters at Ketchikan. The new Dis trict headquarters will remain at Ketchikan until July l.
 Colonel w. B. Greeley, the chief Forester, of the Forest Service, spent some time in Alaska last summer, securing frst-hand in- formation on conditions there, and as the result of his trip rec commended to the Secretary Mere dith the establishment of sepa. rate National Forest District. Accordiug to information given out at the Portland office, there are two National Forests in Alas ka, the Tongass in southeast Alaska and the Chugach in the Prince William Sound country. These Forests are now included in the North Pacific District and handled under direction of Dis trice Forester George H. Cecil, in Portland.
 Assistant District Forester Waha of the Portland office states that the Alaska National Forests now become a separate district because of their increas- ing importance as source of pulp material and mainly to get the administration of Alaska forests as near to the ground as possible, a policy, Mir. Waha emphasizes, which the Forest Service has fol- lowed since 1908, when District headquarters were established in six Western cities to handle on the fround the protection and administration of the National Forests.
 The announcement of the es- tablishment of the new district is made at the Portland office al- most simultaneously with the news from Washington that the President has authorized an h. ter-Departmental Alaska Com- mittee to coordinate federal ac- tivities in Washington having to- do with Alaska. MT. Waha brought out the point that the Forest Ser vice was in entire accord with the idea of the Inter-Department- al Alaska Committee in Wash ington and that this move is con- sidered as the most important one yet made by the government to correlate its efforts to develop the territory of Alaska. E. A. Sherman, Associate Forester of the Forest Service, who spent some time in Alaska, represents the Department of Agriculture on the new Alaska committee. l
