A meeting was called at the assembly room of the schoolhouse Monday evening to organize a choral society under the leader ship of Mrs. Towers. Only a few ladies responded to the call owing to the great number of activities which are keeping Wrangell peo- pie busy at present. It was de- cided to wait till after the holi- days to organize, in the hope that a number of people can be inter- ested meanwhile. A choral club would be an asset to the com- munity and those who are inter- ested in it are anxious to get in touch with anyone who is suf- ficiently fond of music to wish to enter. It is not necessary to be a soloist in order to qualify for membership. While a ladies' trio or quartette may be organized by the few who have already signi- fled their intention to join, it is particularly desired that a mixed chorus be formed and it is hoped that. the men of the town will be- come interested. Wrangell should have a chorus of 30 voices. This chorus could be relied upon to furnish good music for any occa- sion that might arise. Those talk ing part would be amply repaid by the enjoyment which they would derive from the meetings of the society.

The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth grades, and the High School arranged their own work, displaying it on the walls and tables. The Senior High Schools work contained short stories written by the pu- pills, and a newspaper, the "Wrangler.' George Gunderson acted as managing editor of this paper, Marion Myers collected the news, Alfred Royalty told of the sports, and Helen Hofstad edite. the society page. Original and clever cartoons and slogans, drawn by various pupils, decor ated parts of the walls.
 The program included a talk by Rev. H. P. Corser, a play, ''The Trial for the Murder of the Kings English, and contrast in spelling matches. The one was a spelling match of about a hun dred years ago when words were spelled by syllables, which was staged by the Seventh grade. This was entirely original, one of the actors taking the traditional part of a scholar by tormenting his teacher. The modern spell ing match was given by the Sen for High School vs. the Freshmen. This was original in so much as it took so short time for lines to diminish. Aftera short strug- gle, in which both sides suffered heavily, the Seniors were victori- OllS

WiCkerSham Being Boosted
 For Governor

CdSu OOlt Ol JullSdu was IL Wrangell in the interest of the appointment of James Wicker. sham for governor of Alaska. Shortly after Mir. Coles arrival in Wrangell Alex Vreatt began circulating a petition for the ap- pointment of Judge Wickersham as governor.
 Almost 200 residents of Wran- gell have signed the petition. .
 James Wickersham was born in Patoka, H., August "A, 1857, and received a common school education. He was married to Miss Deborah s. Bell, of Roches- ter, H., October 27, 1880; was admitted to the bar in 1880; pro- bate judge, Pierce county, Wash. 1884-8; city attorney, Tacoma, 1894; member Washington House of Representatives, 1898. In 1900 he was appointed United States District Judge for the Third Dis trict of Alaska. After holding the judgeship for seven years he resigned. He is the editor of Alaska Territorial Reports Claw. ) He has written many articles on ethnological subjects. In 1908 he was elected delegate to 61st Con- gross from Alaska. He was re- elected to the 62nd, 63d, 64th and 65th Congresses.
 In 1916 the election of delegate from Alaska resulted in a contest between Judge Wrkersham and the late Charles A. Sulzer. MT. Sulzer was seated, but before the close of the 65th Congress the contest was decided in Judge Wickersham s favor. In 1918 the election resulted in a contest be- tween Judge Wickersham and Hon. George B. Grigsby. The contest is still pending in the 66th Congress with MT. Grigsby hold ing a seat there. Should the con- test be decided in Judge Wicker. sham's favor he will draw pay for the full term, the same as he did for the 65th Congress when Mir. Sulzer was seated.
