WRANCELL VISITED
 BY SERIES OF FIRES

Perhaps at no time in the history Of Wrangell has the fire department been called out to so many fires within few hours of each other as on Saturday and Sunday of the past week, says the Wrangell Sentinel The clear weather with sunshine and wind that has prevailed for some time has dried the roofs thoroughly the cold has made it necessary to Keep the stoves going and the result has been series of small fires that kept WrangelI fire-fighters exceeding ly busy for time The most serious blaze occurred Saturday evening. when the party given by the Elks was about to begin, the fire-beu sounded. The blaze which had a big start was in the upper story of the Chester Warrington house and 1t looked as if the members of the department could not possibly cover the distance that lies between the stations and the burning house in time to be of help. The men lost no time, however, despite the fact that most of them were in party togs, and soon after their arrival on the scene of the fire, the big flames died down. The task of getting the hose from the hydrant near the cleo tric plant to the Worthington house, which stands back on the hillside and is rather inaccessible, was no small one. The damage to the house was considerable, the roof and the upper story being badly burned.

MINE WILL
 UP ORE TRAM
 TO TIDEWATER

RYDER, March 28.-It is authorita- lively announced that an aerial tram will be built from the Premier mine to tide water as quickly as the work can be done, a contract having been let to the Riblet Tramway Company | of Spokane. The tram, when con- pleted, will be the longest in British Columbia or Alaska, and one of the longest of the kind on the American continent. The distance from the mine to the wharf is Il miles. Ore bunkers will be constructed at the wharf, into which the ore will be dumped from the tram buckets by an automatic unloading device, the un- loading operation requiring no atten. tion. Three angles stations will be necessary in the construction of the line-one at Nine-mile, one at Fish creek, and one at Hyder. Material for the tram is all ordered and will arrive here as fast as delivery can be made. Contracts for clearing the right-of- way will be lot in short sections of not over one mile in length Right of-way has been secured on both sides of the international boundary line for a width of 100 feet. The center fifty feet of this will be i cleared and all brush and refuse hnrnp6 All felled into the cleared space and similarly disposed of. It Is expected that this clearing will be completed within 30 days. Minute details as to the tram construction are not now available, but may be secured when the Riblet representative arrives here.
 The caterpillar tractor which last Friday night went over the. wharf into the harbor is now on a scow awaiting the arrival of the Albert, when the ships hoisting apparatus will be used in hoisting the ma chine onto the wharf. The tractor seems to be little the worse for it's bath.
 The work of salvaging it was per formed by Captain Swanson of Ru- pert, who arrived with the provincial and a diving suit Monday night. He went down and fastened lines to the machine which was then raised to the scow by blocks and chains.

Over a Hundred Years Of
the Methodist Episcopal
Church

In 1906, Rev. John Travis a young Methodist minister, raj sent out
to the Western Conference" which then embraced the Mississippi Valley,
from Green County, Tennessee. During that year MI. Travis organized a
number of small churches. At the close of his conference year, he reported
the result of his hbors to the Western Conference, which was held at
ChIicothe, Ohio in 1870 and showed an aggregate of one hundred and six
members and two circuits, one called Missouri and the other Meramec.
In 1908, two circuits had been formed, and at each succeeding year the
number Of circuits and members constantly increased, until 1872, when
what was called t- Western Conference was divided into the Ohio and
Tennessee Conferences, Missouri falling into the Tennessee Conference.
In 1910, there were four travelling preachers and in 1920, fifteen travelling
preachers, with ovr 1000 members. In 1910 there was u travelling
preachers, TT local ministers and 1892 church members. In 1856, the
membership of the M E. Church was over $4,000, and during the succeeding
ten years the church prospeEed rapidly. Today the church membership in
Missouri is approximately 100000.
The Methodist Church in Audrain County and in Mexico has had a

GAVE IMPRESSIONS
OF HENRY JAMES

DR.. C. L. Kjerstad read the follow
ing paper on the novelist, Henry
James, before the meeting of the
Faculty Club on April Is. The sub
iect Of that meeting was the Modern
Novel and Novelists."
1 firmly believe in the saying that
ga little learning is a dangerous
thing" and want you particularly to
keep this in mind with reference to
what / may say about Henry James
and his work. The reading criticism
Of novels is rather far from my field
of endeavor, even if it were not the
task of properly characterizing the
work of a man, the enumeration OF
whose writings alone would fill book
Of several hundred pages, seems q
rather prodigious one. However, !
have some consolation in the fact that
the worst ! may say about him and
his work cannot be worse than the
statements Of critics who dispise him
and the best that / may say about him
can not be more laudable than the
statements of the critics who adore
him.

er remarkable statement: "For the

Often you feel as though you were
wandering about in mud up to your
knees with absolutely no chance Of
getting out, yet you must go on. One
writer characterizes it by saying that
"James spends lifetime in saying,
Boo! to a goose"
Another and very significant char
acteristic in his novels is that he
avoids the usual appeal to the feelings
and emotions of his reader. There is
no sentiment in his novels. He pic
lures human life without its passions.
Feeling and emotion has no part in the
play of his characters. Only once, if
ever, in a novel do you find gush of
tears or an embrace. When James is
able to leave out this fundamental
element in human experience and still
entertain his reader it is clear that he
is more than an ordinary writer. III.
this he is somewhat like Dickens, ex-
cept that Dickens achieves by vivid
description and an appeal to the
imagination.
1t is these characterist of the
American man and woman that meets
with such opposition ard enmity on
the part of the American reader. The
usual reaction from the reader is
characterized by VIM. D. Howells in
the following: "Many Of his readers,
are also his enemies. They read him
in condition of hot Instruction
against all that he says and is, they
fiercely question his point of view
they object to the world that he sees
from it, they declare that there is no
such world, and that he does not paint
it truly. They would like to have the
question out with him personally; such
is their indifference Of opinion that
to hear them talk, you would think
they would like to have it out with
him pugilistically." 1t is this ability
to stir up the reader to hot antagon-
ism that shows the genius, it seems
to me, in the work Of Henry James.
1t is this that shows that he can not
be ignored. His novels are difficult in
that they are different from those of
any other novelist and it will no doubt
ever be to his credit that he does not
try TO please or to amuse his reader
in the ordinary way. That he is read
at all shows that he gets the attention
of his reader through other than the
ordinary means. He uses extreme skill
in handling his characters and their
conversations. While you may have
no patience with him he still has the
power to fascinate you. He trusts
your intelligence. He puzzles you. He
insists that you shall use your mind
when you read his novels. You have
to reflect, speculate. and reason.
You must be alive, you can not go to,
sleep. While you detest his details
they still stick to you and fascinate
you such tbat YOU will not give him
up.

VIRGINIA

THE real origin of Virginia is Gu
l. rious and somewhat unexpected.
1t means ''hourishing" and comes from
an old Latin gems who called them
selves Verginius. Their name was de-
rived in turn from vireo, meaning to
flourish, and was connected to the
word ''ver," translated as spring. Vir-
girio was the name of the far-famed
Orsini family.
The more popular and prevalent be-
lief regarding the origin of Virginia
has always been that she came from
the Latin virgo, meaning "a virgin"
Indeed, the first instance Of her use
in England was in the time of Queen
Elizabeth when Sir Walter Raleigh,
named his American colony Virginia
in shonor of the Virgin Queen.
1t was under similar belief that
Bernadin de St. Pierre called the hero
inc Of his tropical Arcadian romance.
Virginie. The widespread popularity
Of this story in England, France and
Germany brought Virginia into enor-
NOUS vogue throughout Europe.
France still adores her Virginie, and
her popularity in England is assured
forever out of sentimental memory Of
the famous queen.
The first American colony estab-
lished the name in this country. Like
wise the first white child born on
American soil, and named Virginia
Dare did much to spread it's vogue.
The South has always abOunded in
virginias, which, unfortunately has
been contracted to unmusical ''Virgies"
and "Jinnys."
The emerald Is Virginia's tails
manic stone. 1t promises her wisdom,
prophetic vision, long youth, and
charm. The hawthorne bud, England's
spring flower. is Virginia's flower.
Wednesday is her lucky day and 8

ary world.
To the saying that VIM James
wrote psychology like fiction and that
Henry James wrote novels like psy-
chology Phelps has given q more lucid
characterization by saying that VIII
liam made the reading of metaphysics
easy while Henry made novel reading
difficult. His novels are difficult in
more ways than one. They are merely
dipped into the maelstrom Of life
which is for the most part the life of
the wealthy traveller and the elite So
ciety Of Europe. As such they have
neither beginning nor end. There are
no heroes nor heroines, at least there
are no heroic actions. There is no
plot and no logical order Of events ~
In fact no unity at all. According to
James life is not orderly and the ex-
pected usually does not happen. For
this reason he simply forces things to
happen in certain ways and places.
James is not interested in the story
his interest is in the technique Of tell
ing it. It is probably for this reason
that his novels seem to lack en-
phasis upon the significant. The trivial
and seemingly unimportant gets as
much attention as the more important.
The shadows are to him the same as
the depths. He has no sense Of proper
ton and to him nothing is trivial. He
thinks Of his material rather than his
reader. It is his extreme attention to
detail that so exasperates some OF his
readers. When you wish you could go
on with the story you find yourself
enmeshed in trifies. After reading
long paragraphs you find yourself try
ing to guess what it is all about.
