Harry Wallace Passes Away
 Suddenly

The people of Wrangell received ashock Wednesday morning when it became known that U. s. Dep uty Marshal H. J. Wallace had passed away during the night.
 On Tuesday Mr. Wallace ap- peared to be well and in the best of spirits. He retired Tuesday night with no indication of there being anything the matter with him. A few minutes before 2 o'clock Mrs. Wallace awakened to find that her husband was breathing with difficulty. Physi- clans were hastily summoned, but before they reached Mir. Wallace's bedside he had passed away.
 Harry James Wallace was born in MarshalltoWn, Iowa, March 10, 1866. He came to Alaska from the state of Montana in 1890. In 1894 he was appointed United States Deputy Marshal at Wran- gell. He left here for Dawson at the time of the klondike rush in 1897. Later he returned to Wrangell, and was married to Miss Laura Amundsen in Septem- Der 1910. In 1914 he was again appointed U. s. Deputy Marshal, in which position he continued up to the time of his death. He is survived by a widow and several nieces.
 Samuel L. Wallace, a brother of Harry Wallace, died in Wran- gell, March 13, 1917.
 The mother of Harry Wallace resided in Juneau for several years prior to her death and was active in tine work of getting an Episcopal Church started in that city.
 There is scarcely a person in Wrangell who does not feel per sonal loss at the passing of Harry Wallace. Unostentatious benev- olence, no malice, and spirit of good will toward all mankind were qualities that enriched his great big heart of which outward expressions were the very small est part.

lack Skelton Sees His First
 Airplane

When the hydroplane of the Oregon Washington Idaho Air plane company flew over Tongue point Saturday, employees of the Hammond Lumber company were returning from their work after lunch. Jack Skelton, late of Thane, Alaska, was among them, and on hearing the hum of the airplane motor he said to himself: II wonder why they are running the planer at this hour" With that he happened to glance at his companions and noticed them craning their necks heavenward. He did likewise and to him there appeared a new and wondrous spectacle-his first airplane.
 So fascinating was this huge bird that he had no thought for the insignificant vehicles of terra frma and narrowly escaped being run down by an automobile, in consequence.
 Though this was his first glimpse of a heavier -than-air ma chine propelling through the air, Mir. Skelton is a member of the Aero Club of America, having passed the requisite entry exam ination while in Alaska, where he has lived for the past eight years. Mr. Skelton has shot moose in Alaska, grizzly bear on the Aleutian islands, Rocky moun- tain goats in the Wrangell noun. tains, mountain sheep on the trib- utaries of the Yukon, mined gold in Siberia, was a bunk-mate of Rex Beach in the early gold rush of the Klondike, has attended Harvard University, gone sight seeing in London and Paris, and has dined on roast elephants feet in South Africa. where he was at one time interested in rubber concession, but it remained for him to come to Astoria to see his first airplane in motion. Astoria Exchange.

On Stikine Opens
 Next Week
Transportation Company Well Prepared to Take Care of the Com ing Seasons Business.

II IS expected that the f1dZel D No. 1 will leave Wrangell next Tuesday on her first voyage of the season from this port to Tel egraph Creek, B. c.
 lThirty-five reservations have already been made for this first voyage. The majority of those booked for passage will arrive from the south on the Princess Mary next Tuesday morning.
 9When seen by the Sentinel re- porter last night Captain Sid Bar rhgton stated that he expected to go up the river Sunday as far as the big glacier, and that if he found the river clear of ice that far up he would undertake the voyage to Telegraph Creek, leav- ing Wrangell Tuesday afternoon.
 The popular Hazel B No. 4 which operated on the Stikine last season will see service again this year. Of this boat it is not to be said that it is as good as ever" but BETTER than ever. The Harrington Transportation company does not stand still. Each year they become better ac- quainted with the Stikine, and each season they start in better prepared to overcome rapids, rifles ard other difficulties. Ac- c9rdingly, while the Hazel B. No. 4 was in dry dock during the win ter, she was converted into twin screw boat having two tunnels and two engines of 100 h. D. each. This doubling of motive power means that the Hazel B No. 4 is now a boat which for speed and efficiency will surpass anything that has ever gone up the Stikine.
 The Hazel B No. 4 is 65 feet in length, having a 16-foot beam. Two tunnels will make it possible for the boat to navigate in very shallow water.
 The Hazel B No. 4 was built early in 1919 by the Harrington Transportation company and is surely a marvel in river boat con- struction. The hull of the boat is built of fir, while the house is constructed of spruce and cedar. One of the chief aims in it's con- struction was lightness. The boards used for the walls of tie staterooms are only five-six- teenths of an inch in thickness, but the bracing is so we'll distrib- utedas to give all needed strength. Another splendid feature is that it's bottom will bend up and down with the stream to a certain ex- tent, thereby giving tremen. dous advantage over boats pos sessing more rigidity. And yet, through the rare skill of the builder, it is constructed in such way that the springing of the hull does not cause the house to become rickety, the quality of elasticity having been maintained throughout in the construction.
 The Harrington people do not expect any accidents they have had none since they went on the Stikine. However, they believe in being prepared for such pos sible contingencies as more busi. ness than can be handled by one boat. Accordingly, the Hazel B No. 3 has also .been overhauled, and will be held in readiness as reserve boat. This means that the Harrington Transportation company can be relied upon ab- solutely to not only furnish an ex- 'cellent service the coming season, but also to take care of any in- crease in tonnage or passenger traffic.

MUST
 BE PRACTICED
 BY TERRITORY

Rigid economy in the affairs of the territory must be the order Of public affairs during the next two years or plans for the raising of greater reve- nues must be devised.
 At the present time all public monies that come into the public treasury are derived from license fees and special taxes on the output of mines and the fisheries. These have been insufficient to carry on the business of the territory and for the past two years the public busi- ness has cost more than the income. According to the books in the office of Treasurer Smith there is an annu- al income of about $550,000. There is now on hand about $322,000, with about $3S,OO0 of outstanding war rants.
 The large part of the territory monies are derived from the fisher ies business. On account of litiga-
 
 three years ago when it was paid in in one sum and at one time there was nearly a million dollars in the treasury. The last legislature made appropriations to the extent that the outgo is larger than the annual aver age income, and the balance is now as above stated.
 While it is within the power of the legislature to provide a general prop erty tax, many contend that this would involve the making of new valuation and assessment of all the property in the entire territory, and then there would have to be pro- vided in each division machinery for the collection of assessments. It bids fair to be one of the hard prob lens which will confront the coming session of the legislature.
