Rabbi Stephen $. Wise and family were passengers aboard the Jefferson Tuesday afternoon. Rabbi Wise is one of the most noted churchmen of America. He is the founder and rabbi of the Free Synagogue of New York and is a national figure by his prominence in civic and phi lanthropic activities as we'll as his literary attainments.
 The Rabbi is man of won derful personality and is intense ly interesting to meet. He is a personal friend of Woodrow Will son and in speaking of the presi- dent said:
 President Wilson is one of the great figures of Amer ican history, misunderstood and misprized for a time but certain to take his place with the inn mortal makers of America.
 The Sentinel reporter asked Rabbi Wise for his opinion con- corning Alaska. His few but expressive words appear at the head of this column.
 While the vessel was in port Rabbi Wise and family were shown the various places of in- terest in Wrangell by MT. F. E. Bronson and family. Rabbi Wise is friend of MT. Bronson's brother-in law, the Rev. Dr. Samuel McChordCrotherso Cam bridge, Mass, with whom he has exchanged pulpits.

Destroyer in Port

The U. s. s. Moody, Capt. Olson in command. arrived in port at 6 pm. yesterday and re- mained here until 1 o'clock this afternoon.
 The Moody is one of the six destroyers that came north with Secretary of Interior Payne, Sec retary of Navy Daniels and Ad- miral Rodman.
 Capt. Olson stated that the voyage to Alaska is more or less in the nature of a junketing trip after having operated pretty strenuously for almost year in the vicinity of San Diego. The Moody is 314 in length, has IF torpedo tubes and carries four 4-inch guns and one anti aircraft.
 The other five destroyers now in Alaskan waters are: Sinclair, McCawley, Meyer, Henshaw, Rathburn.
 The Idado will come north to Anchorage and take the high officials back to the States.

SEATTLE - Word was re- ceived by the Department of Az riculture today that local agent of the Forest Service at Portland has entered into a contract with a California paper and water power company. for the sale of one hundred million feet of pulp wood timber situated at Port Snettisham. Representatives of the concern when negotiating the deals with the Forest Service officials, stated that their com pany would invest two million dollars in the venture.

utmost benefit to Alaska and the Yukon, for it will be the first step in a campaign of advertis- ing such as has never before been dreamed of. And adver- Using is what we need. We have the undeveloped resources, but it is necessary that we con- vince the skeptical capitalists who are now holding aloof, that in the immense domain there are today greater opportunities for profitable mining investments than anywhere else in the world.
 From the time the aeroplanes leave Wrangell until they arrive here and pass on toward Daw- son, Whitehorse will be a place of absorbing interest to count. less human beings, and the mem- ory of it's location will remain long after the story of the aerial flight that brought it into being has been relegated to the past, unless, as seems quite probable, a permanent aeroplane route be established on the course fol- lowed as now laid out, in which latter event the advertising would be continuous and far more advantageous to Yukon and our neighbor on the south than the short campaign above outlined, although the benefits that we are likely to derive from that will doubtless eventually prove of inestimable value.
 According to late press advices there will be regular aerial pas senger and mail service estab- lished early next month between Seattle, Cordova, interior Alaska points and Nome. Now whether we accept this statement with reservations or as being absolut- ly true, it is impossible to ignore what seems to- be as certain of accomplishment in the near flu ture as that the sun will rise to- morrow, and that is that fer pas senger traffic and the rapid trans portation of first class mail and express the airship will be the mode of conveyance.

F. E. Gingrass returned on the Jefferson Tuesday from a trip to the States. MT. Gingrass re- ports that traffic to Alaska is so heavy that he could not secure passage to Wrangell until August 20.
