Federal Prohibition Director How

some Embossed delegations which
came here with doctors prescriptions
fo: those accustomed to an eyc-open-
cr or a night cap. He notified drug
gists not to fill any such prescrip-
tons.
The popular pollings indicate that
tho people want General Wood or
Senator johnson or Mr.. Hoover. But
a majority of the convention does not
want any OF them.

convention of 1880 when the favor

When he arrived home his many friends were surprised to learn that he had not returned alone, but had brought an attrac- tive young wife with him. Mir. and Mrs. Wyatt will make their home in Wrangell. The Sentinel extends congratulations.

A Rare Musical Treat
Mrs. John T. Towers of Seattle Sings at Concert Given by
 St. Philips Guild

Music lovers were given a de- cided treat last Friday night when a concert was given at the gym nasium for the benefit of St. Phil ip's Guild by Mrs. John T. Towers of Seattle. From the first piano solo to the closing song, the pro- gram was received with delight by those who were fortunate enough to hear it. Judging by the spontaneous applause which followed their rendition, the Southern melodies struck a re- sponsive chord while the Barcar- ole from Tales of Hoffman and the stately rhythm of the Pilgrim Chorus were equally enjoyable. Mrs. Towers beautiful voice and charming personality made the lighter song numbers irresistably appealing while her wonderful technique was very evident throughout. Ma Curly Headed Baby" was a gem and it and the Arditi number were evidently the favorites. MT. Upshaw added much to the success of the even- ing by his mandolin accompani- ments in several of the selections, the obligatos in some of the vo. cal numbers being especially ef- fective.
 The Guild realized nearly $55 from the evenings entertain ment for which it is greatly in- debted to Mrs. Towers and Mir. Upshaw. The money will be used for the new walk on Church street.

Wrangell Man v Builds New
 Type of Boat

Probably the most unusual boat ever built in Alaska was launched Sunday afternoon by Otto Vieweg, the owner and builder. Sylvia is the name that has been given to this new craft which is entirely out of the ordi- nary. While it is modelled some what on the lines of a sea sled it is mainly Mir. Vieweg's own idea of a craft suitable for traffic on the Stikine river.
 The boat is 30 feet long and has five tons capacity. It could be made to accommodate 20 per sons if used for passenger ser vice.
 The boat is equipped with a 125 h. p. four cylinder opposed engine which is expected to de- velop a speed of 12 miles an hour. The most unusual feature of the boat lies in its being driven by an air propeller, the propeller having direct connection with the engine. The Sylvia draws only Az inches, and when in mo- ton skins the water with scarce ly any displacement.
 MT. Vieweg is a young man who has recently attained his majority. He is employed as a machinist,in the Wrangell Ma. chine Shop. He has constructed his boat by working after hours, and his friends hope to see his new departure in boat construc- ton turn out to be a success.
 There were quite a number of spectators on the dock when the Sylvia was having its first try-out Sunday evening. When it was skimming over the water it looked like a flying machine that was apt to rise from the water at any moment,
 It is reported that Mir. Vieweg will have his boat out on the wa ter again during the Fourth of July celebration.

A Card of Thanks

Editor Sentinel:
 On behalf of the local Shriners 1 wish to thank the citizens of Wrangell for the splendid show. ing they made in decorating in honor of the visiting Shriners Tuesday.
 The arrival of the boats at an earlier hour than was expected made it necessary for the decor atingto bedone at an outrageously early hour, but it was done new ertheless, and done we'll. AS a result the visiting Nobles who came from all parts of the United States will carry home with them a favorable impression of Wran- gell and it's people.

 The arrival of the Jefferson a the more respectable hour of l. was entirely different from tha of the other boats, and was SOMI event.

Crab Cannery Is Latest Project
 For Wrangell

land who was here last week work ing on the proposition.
 Mir. Range recently patented a machine for extracting crab meat from the shells by means of compressed air. One of these machines will do the work of 15 hand pickers. This invention puts the crab canning business on an entirely new basis.
 Several local business men met with MT. RangeT Thursday evening to go over his proposition with him After he had outlined bis plan one of the gentlemen present asked C. NJ. Coulter, the local fish buyer, if he thought there was a plentiful supply of crabs in this locality. MT. Coulter replied: II hshed crabs in these local waters for more than two years, and l consider WrangeIl the center of crab supply in Southeastern Alaska. The fish ing grounds within radius of so miles contain a supply of crabs that is practically inexhaustible."
 MT. Range stated that before be- ginning operations he would have to sell another block of stock, and that he would like 10 give Wran- gell people the first chance at it. He said he believed it good policy to have local business men inter- ested as stockholders, as the com pany would thereby be assured of the cooperation of at least the rep. resentative citizens of Wrangell.
 The following local citizens then showed their faith in the feasibility of the proposition by subscribing for stock:
 Hon. P. C. Mccormack. presi- dent of the St. Michael's Trading company.
 Mayor J. G. Grant, proprietor Wrangell hotel.
 Donald Sinclair, owner of the City Store.
 George H. Barnes, of the Alaska Sanitary Packing Co.
 H. D. Campbell, contractor.
 All of the above gentlemen, with the exception of Mir. Mccormack, are members of the Wrangell city counil.
 MT. Range stated that he would leave the subscription list with Mayor Grant in order that any others who might become in- terested in the proposition would have an opportunity to subscribe for stock.
 MT. Range was asked to read the complete list of the stockhold- CTS. He gladly responded to the request, and among the stockhold- CTS we noted the following:
 F. P. Kendall. district manager, Northwestern District, American Can company.
 D. L. Carpenter, president of the Canoe Packing company.
 H. D. Gill, practical cannery- man who has spent several seasons in Alaska.
 MT. Range stated a number of facts concerning crab canning that are not generally known. He said that in the past Japan has been the worlds largest pro. ducer of canned crab, and that the United States has been the greatest consumer of this pro- duct. Owing to the intensive fishing in Japan for many years the crab supply in Japanese wa ters has been depleted to a con- siderable extent. In order to prevent this industry from being lost entirely the Japanese gov. ernment has recently imposed severe fishing restrictions. It is therefore plain to be seen that during the next few years Ja- pans crab output will be so L
