SITKA WAITS
 MANY YEARS
 BECOME CITY
(By Rev. A.. p. kasheVaroff)

Sitka, 16 years of age, has become one acquainted with it's history and traditions, this event in her history seems to bear upon the beauty of the old picturesque village. In look ing back some 60 or 70 years I can see the life and hustle of the i'm portant town of the northwest coast of America.
 The castle of the fort stands so prominently before my minds eye. :, Sixty guns are looking at the bay and the Indian village and about eighty-seven guns are stored away in the arsenals and other places. The work about the town and vicinity isNively Flour mills, two in number, are grinding the grain brought from California. Saw mills, buzzing with twenty or thirty saws are cutting out blanks and timbers for the ships and houses and brass and iron foun- dries pour molten metal that is formed into cannons and bells. Men in machine shops are busy repair ing instruments for nautical use or fashioning new parts for ships. En- gines are being repaired for steam boats. Ships are being repaired.
 BEST SHiPYARDS IN NORTHWEST
 History states that the first bell weighing 2O3 pounds, was made for the Kodiak church under the per sonal supervision of Alexander Bar anoff. Other bells, in later years, were shipped to San Francisco. An American by the name of Lincoln built the first ship at Sitka. Later many ships were built and repaired in the shipyard. One steam tug was made at Sitka, in every part to the last screw in her hull. Tekhmenief says that it was remarkable that ''during Baron Wrangell's administra- ton, besides many ships that were built in Sitka, an American ship, Lady Wrangelp was entirely rebuilt there" He says also that from 1929 to 1887 and later there was not a place in the whole northwest coast of America where foreign ships could find a satisfactory place in which to get work done upon their ships except at Sitka with it's first, class shops equipped with all the

necessary skilled workmen and where they could get anything for their ships.
 ICE SENT TO SAN FRANCISCO
 Besides the very lucrative trade in furs, the Russians furnished ice to California. Thousands of tons of ice were cut and shipped to San Fran cisco yearly.
 tals and surgeons and doctors. Sir George Simpson, in his account of his voyage to Sitka says: "In its work, and in short, in all the requi site appointments, the hospital in question would be no disgrace to England"
 sITkA WAS SOCIAL CENTER Society was composed of officials of the Russian American Company whose services required their resi- dence in the town The governor, of course, was the principal parsonage, then his staff, the military and the naval officers with the captains of the ships, the clerks and the rest of the office employees composed the upper classes. There were state din ners at whach as many as sixty per sons sat down at one time Balls were quite stately and numerous. There were grand weddings, and the celebration of birthdays and name days. Baron Wrangell's wife was the first mistress of the governors house who came from Russia. After the transfer of the territory to the Uni ted States the gay life continued only in a milder form, though the old castle was used as the place where the more elaborate affairs were given. During the military oc- cupation and during the United States naval regime Sitka was still the center of society's life in Alaska. When the naval vessels were re. moved from Alaska waters, the civil officers, with their wives, came to continue the traditional elite society of Sitka. Gradually these departed and Sitka lost the past grandeur and became just small, sleepy town, but yet replete with much his torical material Her scenic beauty is still, and always will be, the same
