CRAIG

At Craig we asked several per sons for the latest news and they all told us the same thing = that the sawmill was going to start up in a few days. Everyone seemed to realize that it will mean much to Craig and the West Coast to have the sawmill running for the next six or seven months. c. E. Hibbs & Company are still branch ing out. They have built float ing dock and have bought An drew Gunderson's warehouse. They are also preparing to open a drug store in the building for merly used as laundry. A. L. Brown is building ar addition to his store, and while we were there he was busy installing a steel vault. Mrs. Tom Butler has taken over the restaurant known as Wright's Cafe and has changed the name to the Butler Cafe. We also found that H. Burton had made considerable improvements in his restaurant and bakery. L. K. Halvorson, J. Kinkela and others will engage in mild curing the coming season. The Craig school closed last week. On the evening following the close of school a big surprise party was given Mrs. N. H. Lambsop, the principal. Mrs. Lambson has done splendid work in the Craig school during the past two years and it is greatly regretted that she will not return.

West Coast Is
 Ready for the
 Canning Season
ManyImprovements of Va rious Kinds Have Been Made During the Past Few Months.

Last week the Sentinel man en- joyed a pleasant trip to the West Coast on the Princess Pat. The first port of call was Point Beau claire. Here we found an addi- tion being built to the cannery and much new machinery being installed, a new Anderson cutting and filling machine being one of the latest additions. Practically all of the machines are driven by electricity, the Beauclaire power plant being about the same size as the one at Wrangel. We found a small sawmill in opera tion where lumber for local build ing needs was being supplied. Two lines will be operated the coming season. MT. Matthews, the superintendent, states that the cannery is prepared to put up 50,000 cases if the fish are to be boJ

At Bayview we found new dock and also noted a number of handsome new residences that have been built since our last vfSit six months ago. Bob Perat- ovich stated that there were lots of fish in the vicinity of Bayview, but few buyers at the present time. MT. Peratovich further stated that during the coming season he would put up a hand pack of about 100 cases.

HYDABURG

Nowhere on our trip did we find more evidences of progress than at the Native town of Hyda- burg. The Hydaburg Trading company has just moved into its new store building which is a modern two story structure 42x82 feet with a basement for an Ideal heating system.
 A number of new residences have been built during the past

SHAKAN

At Shakan we found consider. able preliminary work being done at the cannery of the Anacortes Fisheries company. Over 300 piles have been driven for the purpose of strengthening the dock and cannery foundation. In the cannery we found that much new machinery was being in- stalled. We noticed one crew busy making cans and another crew busy making boxes.
 At Shakan we also found that the Bradley interests had re- sumed work on the molybdenum property just back of the town. Thomas Mcdonald, who recently went from Juneau to Shakan with a crew of men, is busy with the work of installing a compressor after which producing operations will be begun. Molybdenum is a metallic element which in steel is very similar in appearance to graphite. It was only during the recent great war that it's real worth was discovered and appre- ciated. There are only five known allowing elements that can be successfully used in making steel. Of these five molybdenum is by far the best because molybdenum steels can be described as tough er' than any other alloy steel. In their greater strength and greater "workability" lies the secret of their success. Molybdenum steel has been found to exactly meet the requirements of automobile manufacturers who have long felt the need for a lighter and tougher steel in automobile construction. With molybdenum it is possible to produce an alloy steel of light ness and strength hitherto un- known. With molybdenum steel it will be possible to change the architectural design of buildings, mills, automobiles and almost ev. erything constructed wholly or partly of steel. The copper mar ket sometimes gets so low that the mining of copper becomes un- profitable. But there is every in- dication that for great many years to come the demand for molybdenum will be greater than the supply, which will mean a stiff market for the product. There are only a few known de- posits of molybdenum on the American continent, and the dis covery of a vast molybdenum de. posit at Shakan during the war was something that will mean far more to the future of Southeast ern Alaska than was realized at the time. Molybdenum value is not conjectural. It has been tried

MEXICO CITY-General Car

MEXICO CITY-General Car ranza who, with his followers has been a fugitive in the mountains of Puebla was killed at Tlaxca- lantenge last Thursday morning according to an official announce ment received here. His con- panions were also killed. General Rodolfo Herrera directed the at tack which resulted in the death of the fugitive President and his followers. He belonged to the forces commanded by General Mariel who accompanied General Carranza in his flight from this city, but who later joined the revolutionists

KARHEEN

At Karheen we found every body busy but Guy Chapin. Much new machinery is being installed in the carnery of the Karheen Packing company. A crew were busy making cans, and other preparatory work was being done about the premises. The pack at Karheen this year will probably be 50, ,O0O cases.

Mrs. John Nichols of Mooseheart,Ill.
 Delivers Address
Local People Enjoy Treat When Speaker Tells of the Wonderful Institu- ton at Mooseheart.

Mrs. John Nichols, wife of the resident physician at Mooseheart, arrived in Wrangell Sunday morning on the British steam ship Princess Mary for the pur- pose of Investigating the case of the Osborn children whose appli- cations for entrance into Moose heart are pending.
 In order that the people of Wrangell might have a better understanding of Mooseheart, the local Moose lodge made ar engagements for the use of the Rex Theatre for Monday even- ing, inviting the public to hear Mrs. Nichols deliver an address on Mooseheart, which would be followed by four reels of moving pictures concerning that institu- tion. A large and appreciative audience responded to the invita- tlon and all were more than glad that they had done so.
 Mrs. Nichols lectured inform ally and most entertainingly. She has the faculty of making her audience feel the same sym pathy and tender interest in Mooseheart which she feels.
 It is doubtful if any member of the Moose present had ever before realized so keenly just what protection he had been car rying for his family through his membership in the Monday or ganization, and it was a source of the greatest satisfaction to each brother Moose to know from the lecture and the moving pictures that his own loved ones could also find such spendid shel. ter and care at Mooseheart should misfortune and death overtake him, and his family be left in dependent circumstances.
 The pictures were truly won derful. It would be almost im- possible for anyone to see them and ever again feel indifferent to Mooseheart or to the lodge which makes such an institution possi- ble.
 Mrs. Nichols left on the return trip of the Princess Mary Tues day evening. While her stay here was brief, she won friends readily and left behind large number who were genuinely sorry to see her go, and who are look ing forward to seeing her again, as she says she is too enthusias- tic over our wonderful Northland with it's scenic loveliness and en- joyable climate not to come again.

WARM CHUCK

At Warmchuck we again found preparations being made for the cannery season. The Swift Ar thur- Crosby company have re- gently added a most valuable ad- dition to their cannery in the na- ture of a fresh water system for washing fish. Some new ma chinery has also been added. The estimated pack at Warmchuck will be 10000 cases, with no chums.

few months some of them mod ern bungalows which in appear. ance and architectural design are fully up to the standards of home building in the recognized resi- dential section of the larger cities. An important feature of the Fly daburg building boom is the fact that all lumber used in the build ings was cut in the Hydaburg sawmill, and the construction work was also done by local people-all Natives. There are very few houses in Hydaburg that are not painted. and this liberal Ihse of paint has done much tow ard beautifying the town. Paint not only improves the appearance of house. but prevents it's de- terioration. and the people of Fly daburg have shown that they ! fully appreciate this fact.
 | The cannery building, which is 40x100 feet, is about completed. 1 The boiler and engine are ready for installation. Other machinery will arrive later, and it is expec- ted that one line cannery will be in operation at Hydaburg next year.
 A new dock is another valuable asset to the town of Hydaburg. Alongside the dock is a float, the ] two being connected by an ap- proach ten feet in width. On the lower end of the approach is a pair of trucks which roll back and forth as the tide rises and falls. This enables passengers to come ashore without difficulty and is a great improvement over the old way where the modus oper- andi of landing at Hydaburg was by means of a ladder.
 We visited the office of the New Native, the official organ of the Hydas, and found a print shop that is kept cleaner than many offices in larger towns where the office towel will stand alone.
 While in Hydaburg we enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. Marius Hansome, the government agent. He not only invited us to his home, but treated us to a joy ride in an automobile.
 The leading business enter- prises of Hydaburg are coopera- tive propositions, entirely owned by Natives, and are all successful. It is practically certain that with out Government assistance and Government schools there would have been little of the progress that is so much in evidence in Hydaburg. The Bureau of Edu- cation has helped the Hydas to help themselves by educating them and pointing the way to better standards of living. But the Government could not do it all. The Hydas themselves have had the natural progressiveness to take advantage of their oppor- tunities. Today the Natives of Hydaburg are self-sustaining, self-respecting people who are living in a very different environ ment to what they were 25 years ago.
 The Princess Pat on which we travelled is surely a great inn provement over the lamented Uncle Dan which was so long on the West Coast run. The Prin- cess Pat is not only far more com- fortabie than the Uncle Dan or the GIenora. but is a much faster boat. The Princess Pat arrived in Wrangell on its return in ex- actly 96 hours from the time it left here, although she was an- chored two nights and spent the greater part of one day in Sulzer.
