would be held on Saturday night for the purpose of passing on the engineers report on Whitney creek, and taking such action in the premises as should be deemed expedient.
 The Council met Saturday night, and after hearing the re- port of the engineer, decided to reject the Whitney creek proposi- tion.
 A motion was then made by Councilman Barnes and seconded by Councilman Nussbaumer that the Town of Wrangell make ap- plication for a power site at Mill creek. The motion carried. The Mayor directed Mr. Worden, the clerk, to prepare the application at once, and mail same to the Federal Power Commission at Washington, D. C.
 Several months ago the Feder- al Power Commission served mo- tice on the Town Council that certain individuals had made ap- plication for power site on Mill creek, and intimated that the Town would be given preference in case it needed power and de- sired to make application for a site at Mill creek. The town took no action at that time for the req. son that there are three streams on Wrangell island which were believed by practical men to be capable of developing all the pow CT needed by the Town at much less cost than would be required should the Mill Creek site be se- lected. However, the report of an engineer shows that none of the streams on Wrangell island are feasible for the development of sufficient power to meet the needs of the Town. Fortunately, the Federal Power Commission has not yet granted a permit for the Mill Creek site to anyone. and it is therefore believed that the Town still has a good chance of securing same.

Town of Wrangell Makes Application for Power Site
 Location on Mill Creek
Town Had Expected to Apply to Federal Power Commission for Power Site on Whitney Creek, But Changed Its Plans After Hearing Report of Engineer.

The Town of Wrangell has made application to the Federal Power Commission for water power site at Mill creek, a short distance from Wrangell on the mainland.
 The purpose of the Council in making this application is the de- velopment of power to be used in operating municipally owned electric light and power plant.
 Last week Mayor Grant called for a mass meeting of citizens to hear the report of Donald G. Campbell, the engineer who had been employed to make a report on Whitney creek. A number of representative citizens were pres ent at the meeting.
 The gist of MT. Campbell's re- port on Whitney creek was that the flow fiuctuates too greatly, diminishing to 50 or 75 h. D. at certain seasons of the year, and therefore that stream could not be considered feasible for a power project that would meet the re. quirements of the Town of Wran- gell.
 After hearing MT. CampbelPs report on Whitney creek no one present saw any reason for urg- ing the selection of that stream for the location of a power site.
 In connection with his report MT. Campbell stated that he did not believe there was stream on Wrangell island that would de- velop power adequate to the pres ent and future needs of the town.
 A discussion followed at which the merits of several streams on the mainland were discussed. Mill creek was considered by far the most desirable of any of the streams on which sites were pro- posed. In fact, all those present who would express themselves were unanimous in favoring Mill Creek.
 At the close of the meeting Mayor Grant stated that a special meeting of the Town Council

Wrangell School Receives
 Copy of Famous Picture

Two copies of Kelly's famous Liberty Prayer of Washington at Valley Forge" have been re- ceived by the Wrangell school and are being framed. One copy will be placed in the high school and one will be given the grades.
 The picture is reported to be true to historic fact in every de- tail. The original bas-relief is on the subtreasury in Wall Street, New York, where Washington took the oath as first President. The picture was painted by order of Roosevelt. The copies which are being received by the schools are sent out from the office of the Territorial Commissioner to keep before the public the secret of Washington's strength in these times when the materialistic as- sumes such importance in the mind of the average American.

,The:o
 American Q. Legion
Armistice Day Duly Observed
 By Local Post

Armistice Day was duly ob- served in Wrangell by the closing of all business houses and the schools in accordance with the proclamations issued by the Pres ident and the Governor of the Territory and the request of the Merlin Elmer Palmer Post No. 6.
 The pupils of the public school reported at the school at 11:30 and the citizens of Wrangell gath cred on the school grounds a little after that time. At 11:45, the bell on the Presbyterian Church began tolllng and shortly before the noon hour, the members of the local Post arrived in a body with the colors and the Post ban ner. While the entire school stood at attention at one side, the Post and members of the Signal Corps on the other, and citizens at the rear, the Presidents Procla- nation was read by Julius Mason. The school bell was rung for a time and then followed the salute to the flag after which all present stood silent for two minutes. The Legion then led the march from the school grounds and the gathering dispersed.
 In the evening, the basketball game between the Legion and Bayview was played at the Rink at 7:30 ana at 9o'clock, the dance given by the Legion at the Red men Hall began.
 The hall was beautifully decor ated in red, white and blue streamers festooned from the center of the ceiling to the cor ners and sides of the hall. Just over the stage. facing the en- trance, hung the Post banner and flag. Miss Coralie Cunningham was at the piano until the arrival of Walter Bidwell and Dick Han son relieved George Scribner with the drums during the evening, also acting as floor manager at the dance. The attendance was unusually large. A delicious SUD- per was served in the dining room upstairs during the evening by the ladies of the Legion Aux Hilary.
 The committee in charge of the affair consisted of Collis Green, chairman; Julius Mason, Louis Scribner, Fred Lewis. Ellery Carl son, William Taylor, Jr., Nick Nussbaumer, George Sylvester and Ernest Campbell.

would deliver the water to a suit able site for the power plant and this would be about four miles distant from tidewater, where low land and large tide flats are available for all building and stor- age capacity necessary for 125 or 150 ton paper plant. The in- tervening valley between the power plant and the beach is very wide and flat, and furnishes an abundance of room for any town site or settlement necessary to a plant of this size.
 The upper regions of this stream find their source in large glaciers which serve to equalize the flow during summer and fall months, and to cut down the flow during the spring months when the precipitation is heavy.
 The 10000 h. p. for Harding creek is based on a very conserv- ative estimate of 108 in. annual runoff, whereas measurements throughout this part of the coun- try show the actual runoff to range from 110 to 150 in. per an- mum.
 Almost simultaneously with the discovery and investigation by the Wrangell Pulp and Paper Company of this project came similar investigations by inter- ests associated with the Guggen- helms. They have in the past year discovered and surveyed two sites having an aggregate capaci- ty of upwards of 10000 h. p. on the other side of the canal within a few miles distance.
 Their plans which are being actually developed contemplate, it is stated, the connection of their sites by a 16-mile transmits sion line with Humpback bay near the southern shore of the en trance to the canal where they contemplate the establishment of a 250 ton pulp and paper mill to produce newsprint and other grades of paper. Itis stated that they expect to continue develop ment and continue on this enter. prise as rapidly as possible, prob ably three years time being ne- cessary for the construction of such a plant, involving an ex- penditure of probably 12 to 15 million dollars.
