The Wrangell sentinel., 1920-05-13

Barnes stated that while he was not opposed to the Council grant ing any increase in electric light rates that the circumstances might warrant he nevertheless felt that before. passing on the question the Council should look into the matter at least enough to find out what percentage of increase in rates was being ap- piled for.
 By comparing the rates asked for by MT. Palmer with those stipulated in his franchise it was found that he was asking for an increase of 21s cents per kilowatt. A little figuring showed the per centage of the increase asked for to be as follows:
 From From $ to to 200 K.W..Increase 20 20 per per cent cent From 200 to 300 K.W... Increase 22 s-ll per cent Over 300 K.W........Increase 25 per cent
 One of the councilmen ques- toned the propriety of the coun- cil taking any action toward changing the rates stipulated in the franchise. It was therefore thought better not to consider the matter in the light of a pro- posed raise in rates, but to pass upon the matter simply as ques- tion as to whether MT. Palmer should be granted the privilege of collecting a temporary bonus which would cover the difference in the price stipulated in the fran chise and the proposed advance in price quoted in his letter of May 5 which was then before the council for action.
 A motion was made that MT. Palmer be granted the privilege of charging a bonus that would correspond with his proposed in- crease in rates. In discussing the motion one of the Councilmen brought to the attention of the meeting the fact that any tenn porary arrangement that this council would enter into with Mir. Palmer would not be binding any

 May 7th, 1920 Mir. O. C. Palmer,
 Owner and Operator,
 Wrangell Electric Light and Power Company,
 Wrangell, Alaska. Sir:
 Your communication dated May 5th was presented to the city council on May 9th at their regular meeting, and 1 am in structed to say that the Wran- gell City Council is willing to give you a temporary bonus to cover the difference in price agreed upon in your franchise and the advanced price quoted in your letter of May 5th. In other words the council is will that you should make the ad- vanced charge quoted In your communication with the under standing that this advance in your electric light rates may at any time, at the option of the Wrangell City Council, be reduced to the former rate; that is to say the rate estab- l,shed by Ordinance No. 42 passed by the Common Coun- cil of Wrangell, Alaska, on the 23rd day of July, 1914, shall not in any way be affect ed by this temporary raise in rates.
 You are authorized to charge advanced rates, as per your letter, for the present month, May, 1920, but these advanced rates should be entered in separate item and added to the regular rates. Your future bills should be made out in the usual manner charging old or regular rates with bonus or temporary increase added at the bottom of each monthly statement of your account.
 Respectfully,
 J. E. WoRDEN,
 City Clerk.

A New Ordinance
An Unfavorable Report

At the April meeting of the council a committee from the Parent Teachers Association composed of H D. Campbell, J. G. Grant and H. w. Gartley waited on the council and urged the importance of increasing the area of the school playgrounds and reported that the vacant lots which join the school property on the west were for sale. Mayor Pritchett appointed a committee composed of Councilmen Dalgity and Cunningham to report on the advisability of buying the lots in accordance with the recommenda- tion of the Parent-Teachers' as- sociation. When Mayor Grant called for report on this matter the committee stated that owing to the heavy expense the town is under at this time and the need for improvement in the school building they could not recom- mend the purchase of the lots at the present time. On motion the report of the committee was ac- cepted.
 Fishermen's Float Again Under
 Consideration
 The matter of a float for the fishermen was again brought up. The Mayor appointed a committee to look into the matter composed of Councilmen Dalgity, Cunning. ham and Nussbaumer.
 Townsite Boundary May Be
 Enlarged
 The matter of enlarging the boundary of the Wrangell town site was brought up, but as the hour was late it was decided to leave that for consideration at a future meeting.
 A Precautionary Measure
 After hearing the report of the Board of Health the council deemed it advisable to keep guards employed for a few days longer.

CRE0S0TE FOR FENCE POSTS
Best Preservative Treatment Consists
Of Boiling Wood in Liquid for
Short Period.

Five cents worth of creosote ap-
piled to q fence post will prolong it's
life many years. Posts that will Inst
ordinarily but four or five years in the
ground can be made to last 20 by treat
ing.
Woods like beech, birch, maple, ash,
poplar and others that are not ordi-
narily used for fence posts, can be
made as durable as locust or cedar by
a preservative treatment with creosote
This treatment does not consist simply
in painting the post with creosote or
in dipping it in creosote. While these
treatments do some good, they do not
insure deep penetration Of the creosote
into the wood or the filling Of the
cracks and season checks.
The best preservative treatment con-
sists in heating the posts in boiling hot
creosote for 80 to 60 minutes, then
leaving them in the tank until the
liquid has cooled. The creosote will
be forced deeply into the wood and
thus fill all checks and cracks and
form an exterior shell Of treated wood
that will prevent rotting. An old, dis
carded gasoline drum with the top cut
out, set up so that fire may be built
beneath, makes an excellent treating
tank at little expense.

MAKES
"a POUND GAIN
Iowa Manufacturer Makes a
Statement to the Pub
lie About Tanlac

J. d. Wilson, secretary and gen
eral manager of the Algona Brick
& Tile Company of Algona, Iowa,
called at McNerney's Drug store in
Des Moines, recently, and made a
statement regarding the benefits he
has derived from the use of Tanlac
that will be of interest throughout
the entire state.
In relating his experience with the
Master Medicine, Mr.. Wilson says he
has not only gotten rid of case of
nervous indigestion from which he
had suffered for three years, but that
he has also gained twenty-four pounds
in weight. Here is his statement:
81 have been benefited even be-
yond my belief and feel that it is
time for me to talk for the benefit
of others. 1 had suffered from nerv-
Gus indigestion and general run
down condition for three years. My
stomach was so weak and upset that
I could not retain and digest enough
of what ate to keep up my strength
and I was gradually losing ground
all the time. My food would sour
almost as soon as had eaten it
and the gas from it would press on
my heart causing palpitation, short
ness of breath and intense pains. My
kidneys were also in bad shape and
I often suffered with severe pains in
the small of my back.
''No kind of treatment or medicine
did me any good and as a result of
my condition I was continually losing
weight. was worried constantly
with the fear that my case was be-
yond the reach of medicines. But I
finally began taking Tanlac on the
advice of an old friend and not only
have my troubles been relieved, but
I feel like I have been given a new
lease on life. At the time I began
taking this medicine I only weighed
one hundred and eighteen pounds,
but now balance the scales at one
hundred and forty-two, making an
actual gain of twenty-four pounds.
I can now eat just anything set be-
fore me and never feel sign Of in
digestion. Why, only yesterday I
ate steak and onions for dinner, thor
oughly enjoyed them, and they did
not hurt me the least bit. am now
able to eat cabbage and pork and
digest them as easily as I can milk.
In fact, neither my stomach or kid
neys bother me any more. I am ab-
solutely free from all pain and am
in better shape physically than I have
been in a long time. A medicine
that will do what Tanlac has done in
my case is certainly worth recon-
mending to the public and am glad
to give this statement to be used
in letting others, who are trying to
find relief, know about it."
=; Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the
City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs.
R. Sterling, in Blackduck by French
& Moon, in Baudette by J.. Williams
and in Thorhult By p. II. Swanson.
