Running Short on Potatoes
 at Telegraph Creek

w. E. Parrott received a letter yesterday from A. Everson of Telegraph Creek. MT. Everson states that he had the misfortune to get burned out on January 22 when the temperature was 34 be- low zero. He reports that his wife and little ones are we'll and that two of the girls and Johnny are attending school regularly.
 MT. Everson complained that he is not receiving the Sentinel regularly. He says he has heard that there are four sacks of pa pers for Telegraph Creek in the office at Atlin, but that they might as we'll be in h. for all the good they are doing him there.
 That better transportation fa- cilities between Wrangell and Telegraph Creek would be to the mutual benefit of both towns is again indicated when MT. Ever son says:
 "I wish could send you a good fat moose quarter and you could send me a sack of your potatoes in exchange. Potatoes are a com modity that will soon be a thing of the past here. I have the promise of about 20 pounds which will have to do myself and family from now Heb. IF until naviga. tion opens between here and Wrangell."
 Regarding the weather, Mir. Everson says: Tt has been a nice winter here except about two weeks in January when the mer- cury went down to 36 below. That was the coldest weather we have had."
