Our Own Little Town Is the Best Little
 Town After All

There are fancier towns than our little town. there are towns that are bigger than this. and the people who live in the smaller towns don't know what excite ment they miss. There are things you can see in the wealthier towns that you can't in a town that's small; and yet. up and down, there is no other town like our little town after all. It may be that the streets aren't long, they're not wide nor maybe straight, but the neighbors you know in your own little town all welcome a fellow-it's great.
 In the glittering streets of the glittering town, with its palace and pavement and thrall, in the midst of the throng you will ire quently long for your own little town after all. If you live and you wolk in your own little town, in spite of the fact that it's small, you'll find it fact that our own little town is the best little town after all. Exchange.

Wrangell Chamber of Commerce Is
 Organized

A live Chamber of Commerce for Wrangell promises to be a re- ality.
 During the past month several of the local business men have been talking over the need of such an organization. Last week half a dozen citizens who styled themselves organizers sent out invitations to the business and professional men of the town to attend a meeting in the Wrangell Hotel dining room. Thirty citi- zens responded to the invitation.
 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Grant who announced that the purpose of the meeting was to organize Chamber of Commerce. Leo Mccormack was elected temporary chairman. The chairman called for the reading of some correspondence which the organization committee had had with the Juneau Commer- cial Club. The correspondence showed that the Juneau organiza- tion functions under a board of directors, and five permanent committees, and whatever special committees may be necessary.
 After some discussion in which a number of citizens participated it was decided to proceed with the work of organizing along the same lines as the Juneau body. Practically everyone present came forward and signed the membership roll. A motion pre- vailed that the organizers consti- ute the first board of directors. The meeting then adjourned, sub- ject to the call of the chairman of the board.
 The urgent need for a commer- cial organization in WrangelI has been keenly felt for some time. Now that an organization has been started let every business and professional man in Wrangell become an active member and a booster. Everyone knows that through organization it is possible

There has been considerable difficulty in arriving at the mean ing of certain sections of the new fur law which was published in the Sentinel last week. Espe- cially has there been uncertainty in interpreting the section rela- tive to fur buyers. Judge Thom- as took up the matter with Ter ritorial Treasurer Walstein G. Smith. In his reply to the in- quiry made by Judge Thomas MT. Smith states that "the law makes no attempt to limit the business of a licensee. It re- quires that a stationary fur buyer shall obtain a license, Section IT of the Act defining application of the term and requiring that a permanent, fixed place of busi- ness shall be maintained, to which the pelts purchased shall be shipped before being placed on the market.

Henry Watterson Dead

Jacksonville, Fla.-Col. Henry Watterson, one of America s most noted journalists and vet eran of the Civil War, died here at ' o'clock this morning. Bron- chial trouble was the immediate cause of his death. His wife and children were with him when the end came.
 Henry Watterson was born in Washington on February 16, 1940. Owing to a defect of vision he was mainly educated by private tutors. He was married to Re- becca Ewing of Nashville, Tenn, December 20, 1865. He served as an officer in the Confederate Army during the Civil War his rank being that of Colonel.
 Watterson began his career as a journalist when IS years of age. He worked.as reporter and ed itorial writer on several well known Southern newspapers. In 1868 he went to Louisville, Ky, to assume management of the Courier Journal, and remained editor of that paper for 50 years. He was distinguished as a jour- nalist, author and writer. He is the author of the following books: History of the Spanish-American War, 1899; History of the Man haitian Club; The Compromises of Life; Lectures and Addresses, 1902; Marse Henry Looking Back ward, 1919.

designated or appointed agents. There is no reason to believe that the law contemplates limitation of business of licensee to one small precinct. According to provisions of law the Territory is open to him, likewise to his three designated agents.
 "The Attorney General for the Territory has ruled that the belts or skins acquired by fur dealer prior to August l. 1921, (date the fur license tax act became effective) are NOT subject to the taxes imposed by the provisions of the Act"

The above dispatch was dis tinct shock to the many people in Wrangell and Southeastern Alaska who knew Donald G. Campbell well and who placed high estimate on him not only as an engineer but as a man. Donald G. Campbell was a member of the we'll known engi- neering firm of Campbell, Wells & Elmdorf of Seattle. He was no stranger in the North and had done considerable work in South eastern Alaska. During the past year he has spent much time in the Wrangell district making re- ports on various power sites for the Wrangell Pulp and Paper Company. His untimely death is especially deplored by the mem- bers of this corporation.
 MT. Campbell had the greatest faith in the future of Southeast ern Alaska, and was one of it's best friends and boosters. Just before leaving Wrangell his pro- fessional services were engaged for a few days by several pro- gressive citizens of Wrangell, and he rendered the Town of Wrangell a very valuable service by making a report on two streams on which power projects were proposed.
 Mr. Campbell was a man in the prime of life who had been care fully trained for his profession, and was man of recognized abil- ity and great usefulness in the world. He possessed an unusual combination of qualities. He was careful and deliberate, and at the same time aggressive and fear less. Possessing a high sense of honor he naturally formed some strong friendships. Although an interchangeable worker he was habitually in a happy mood, and was always full of vigor and ener- gy, his very presence breathing such a life current that one is stunned by the reality that he is gone.
 MT. Campbell is survived by a wife and two children.
 Arthur w. Bloomquist, who was drowned at the same time as Mir. Campbell was his class mate at Columbia University. MT. Bloomquist was also 9 child hood schoolmate of Mrs. s. C. Shurick of Wrangell.

What Happened to
 a Town Having no
 Chamber of Commerce
Skaguoay AAaSkanl

The new mail contract to the two American steamship compan- ies has been let, and until June 30, 1922, Ketchikan, Wrangell. Juneau, Cordova, Seward and Anchorage get at least a 10-day mail service each way. If the companies get together on their schedules as the Government ought to make them get together they will get a five day mail each way. But Skagway gets NOTHING.
 Skagway asked for NOTHING and got it as most towns do. Skagway sent no wires to the de- pertinent and got NOTHING She sent no letters, and got l NOTHING. Ketchikan, Wran, gell, Juneau, Cordova and Sew ard will have fresh vegetables once a week, or possibly every five days, while Skagway will eat out of cans. The City Council asked for no improvementin in mail service and got it; the various lodges in the town asked for no change in the mail service and got it; the churches and the other organizations requested no inn provement and got it. Suppose Skagway had put the situation up to the department-no mail except as these two lines may happen to call. No chance to get green food or freight except when some tramp boat may come in. Skagway has lost one resident steamship agent, and is likely to lose another. Why?
 Suppose Skagway had spent five dollars in wires to the post office department. Suppose she had represented the facts as they are, that 800 people in Skagway, 800 people in Haines, and as many more along the Yukon trib- utary to SkagWay would receive benefit, not only Tn mail but in freight service by at least every other boat making Skagway a port of call during the winter. What would have happened? We would probably have gotten it. We asked for NOTHING and got it. It was nobody's business and so nothing was done and nothing was received. tis not expected that the postoffice department is going to sit up nights looking into Skagway's needs. but if Skagway makes the postoffice department sit up and take notice of the fact that she is on the map, some thing will be done. It is supine- ness that eats the life out of town. The road commission had the money for the bridge up near the shops-did Skagway get it? No! Why? Ask the people who know. It's a wonder the bridge did not go out this year; it would have done so-if the ranchers on the other side had not paid for keeping it in. Does Skagway care? Could Skagway get that bridge put in right if she went after it? Certainly she could. Skagway ASKS for NOTHING and GETS IT. Think about it
