Wrangell Mill Secures Logs for
 Export Trade

SEATTLE-The Wilson & Syl- vester mill, located in the heart of the Tongass forest reserve at Wrangell, has secured from the department the largest cutting right ever given an Alaskan saw mill concern. The cutting right will allow the big Wrangell Mar rows concern to expand for the export trade, which has been the ambition of Alaska sawmill men for years.
 The Wilson & Sylvester Mill company is the pioneer lumber concern of Alaska. Started over 20 years ago the mill continued until the death of the originators, when it was for several years the cause of expensive litigation in connection with the closing up of estates. Eventually the mill burned and new people secured controlling interest. During the past two years the mill has been run to its full capacity, and en. joys an excellent reputation along the coast of Alaska.

An Appeal for Help for the Good Women of This War-TOrn Land

An Appeal for Help for the Good
 Women of This War-Torn Land
 As there are, in England alone, over one million more women of marriageable age than men, even counting the grand men who have been incapacitated in their upholding the Cause of Civiliza. tion, may I enlist your help to make this movement known to single men and widowers of any age from 20 to 50, men who are willing to marry good, clean, sober, honest, moral and home loving women.
 None of these women possess means but all are capable of giving to any true man, more than all the money of a rich woman can, that is the wealth a true woman gives her husband.
 Any introduction 1 give, will be held personally responsible for every word 1 write.
 The majority of women l am acting for are those that have had, and do now, work to earn their own living. They are not idle or useless, but just the type of women who can make any mans home a little paradise. am only looking for men who would appreciate just such an woman, not those who expect to make a slave of a wife.

Rafael Ruiz Convicted of Petit Larceny; Gets
 Eight Months in Jail

Rafael Ruiz, a Mexican, was on Friday convicted by jury of petit larceny, and his punish ment fixed at eight months im- prisonment.
 On July 16 the store of the St. Michael Trading company was burg larized. Hon. P. c. McCor- mack, proprietor of the store, re- ported the matter to the local officers. On the night of July 23 the officers found a Mexican in possession of a suit of clothes which Mr. Mccormack identified as being from his clothing stock. The man who had the suit of clothes in his possession stated that he bought it from Rafael Ruiz for $15, paying S7 in cash and owing for the balance. Upon investigation it was found that Ruiz left Wrangell for Peters, burg on July 25. A warrant was sworn out for Ruiz and he was arrested in Petersburg and brought to Wrangell. On Thurs day he was given a jury trial be- fore U. s. Commissioner Wm. c. Thomas. The case resulted in a mistrial, the jury disagreeing.
 The Commissioner ordered an- other trial held on Friday after noon. This time the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Ruiz atti- tude at the trial was that of dis. respect if not contempt for the whole proceeding. Upon being committed to jail he proceeded to kick down a door and play the bad man generally. That night he was under guard. The next forenoon he made his escape from the jail, and had the nerve to go to the Mexican mess house at the cannery for his dinner. When it was reported to the officers that Ruiz was at the cannery they went there for him. but by that time he had dined and de- parted. Further search for him proved of no avail. At g o'clock Saturday evening Ruiz was dar- ing enough to again come back to the Mexican mess house and ask the cook for a handout.
 Sunday afternoon Ruiz was seen in the brush across the street from the Presbyterian Church picking salmon berries. Deputy U. s. Marshal Tom Dal- gity, Town Marshal Earl West, Guy Carson and Lin Shields sur rounded the spot where Ruiz had been seen, but the fugitive berry

picker was nowhere in sight. Earl West entered an old house nearby. There appeared to be no one in the house, but MT. West instituted a search and finally found Ruiz in hiding in the attic. The prisoner was marched to the jail where ankle cuffs were placed upon him. He will be taken to Juneau tomorrow.
