"A little girl named Katharine
Byrd" said Daddy, grew up into q
grOwn-up person, as little girls are
very apt to do.
But when she grew up she never
forgot she had been young. Some
people do that. And oh, what lots
and lots of fun they miss.
For" Daddy continued, II feel like
singing a song like this at times:
" Boys and girls, you're often scolded:
Boys and girls you're often bad!
But really, boys and girls,
You do lot to make us glad!
"Hurrah" shouted Nancy.
Cheers for Daddy" said Nick.

Regarding Proposed Library

A meeting was held at the City Hall Monday evening to discuss the possibility of starting a li- brary here. Five hundred books were received from the Juneau library last month and enough interest had been shown in the movement to warrant calling a meeting to formulate definite plans. The attendance at themeet- ing was very small but an inform al discussion was held and it was the concensus of opinion of those present that a library would be a benefit to the town and that 1t could be maintained by a proper amount of cooperation. c. A. Carlson, who was made the sec retary of the meeting, was ap- pointed to ascertain if the City Hall may be used as a library, and an attempt will be made to enlist the active interest of the Woman's Improvement Club.

Fox Company
 Organized By
 Local People
Four Islands Have Been Leased in Pybus Bay, Frederick Sound, and Will
 Be StoCkedWith Blue Foxes

Three more Wrangell men have entered the fox farming business.
 Peter Behrs, Cliff Baker, and Henry Lutro recently organized the Pybus Bay Fox company. These gentlemen have leased a group of four islands in Pybus Bay, Frederick Sound. The is- lands are near the coast of Ad- miralty island, and are on the opposite side of the Sound from Cape Fanshaw. This group of islands is admirably suited for fox farming, being so close to each other that the foxes may go from one island to the other at low tide, but there will be no danger of the foxes getting off the group.
 Pybus Bay is becoming a fox farming center. There are al- ready three successful fox farms in that vicinity.
 The new firm will stock their islands with blue foxes which they will obtain from the San Juan Fur company, whose farms are located on the Sisters islands. which are also located in Pybus Bay.
 Messrs. Behrs. Baker and Lu- tro are all outdoor men and will no doubt succeed in their new undertaking. They have already put up 800 smoked fish which will be used as feed for the foxes dur ing the coming winter.
 Although located almost 100 miles from Wrangell these new fox farmers will have a good mail service. There is a post office at the cannery of the Pybus Bay Fish & Packing Company, and mail is received regularly once a week in summer and twice a week in winter.
 For the first year or two it will not be necessary for more than one member of the firm to be on the ranch at one time.
 The members of the new firm believe they have a good proposi- tion, and expect within three or four years to have a fox ranch that will yield large returns on the efforts and money expended.

Trail From Garnet Ledge Up the River Will Be
 Repaired at Once

Forest Examiner Kline has been a recent Wrangell visitor and while here made trip up the river with Forest Ranger Me Kechnie to look over the trail that was made from the garnet ledge several years ago. It has grown over since made and is almost ob- liberated in places. Frank Spauld- ing will brush it out so that it can be used by trappers and other travellers this winter. Mr. Spauld- ing will also build himself a cab in at Four Mile Creek, which is four miles above the garnet ledge, and will occupy it. Travellers over the trail will be welcome to stop there on their way. Four miles further up is the govern ment cabin, which makes it pos sible to find shelter again.
 Mr. Kline also visited the city dam while here and granted the city a right of way of 50 feet on either side of the pipeline and a right of way around the dam. The application for this grant had been made to the Forestry De- partment previously.

Is Given Forty
 Days In Jail
Jury Finds "Scotty" Frame Guilty of Having Fur nished Intoxicating Liq- ors to Indians.

Forty days in jail," was the penalty assessed against Jack ("Scotty') Frame. an 18-year old Scotch lad who with code fendant was tried in the United States Commissioners court on Monday on a charge of furnishing intoxicating liquors to other per sons.
 The case was jury trial. l, M. Green and "Scotty" Frame were jointly charged with furnishing liquor to other persons. The complaint was sworn to by Jo- seph Johnson, an Indian, and among the "other persons re- ferred to in the complaint as hav- ing been furnished with whiskey was the complainant himself, and his wife-all Indians.
 William L. Paul appeared as counsel for the defendants. MT. Paul exercised his prerogative in the matter of the jury and Messrs. George H. Barnes and E. A Lind man were asked to step aside on a preemptory challenge made by Mr. Paul.
 Joseph Johnson, the Indian who swore to the complaint, was the principal witness. He swore that he had often obtained booze from "Scotty" who had frequently come to his house peddling booze. This testimony was corroborated by Johnson's wife and others. All of the witnesses for the Gov ernment were Indians with the exception of Earl West, the city marshal. Walter Shadesty acted as Indian interpreter. The only wit nesses for the defense were the two defendants themselves. They both denied having furnished Jo- seph Johnson or any other h. dians with booze.
 After the evidence was all in MT. Paul addressed the jury for a few minutes in behalf of the defendants. The case then went to the jury. After deliberating for about half an hour verdict was returned finding the defend ant, Jack Frame, guilty, and the defendent, 1. M. Green, not gull ty. It is not unlikely that the jury were of the opinion that "Scotty" had been a tool for others who were perhaps more guilty than he, for the verdict stated that on a vote of the jury the leniency of the court was recommended in the case of the defendant, Jack Frame. This young man is practically a stranger here and had the jury not believed that there were ex tenuating circumstances in con- nection with his case the leniency of the court would surely not have been recommended. Inas. much as the court had the power to impose a fine of 5000 or one year in jail, or both, the penalty of 40 days in jail which was as- sessed against Frame may be con sidered as exceedingly light.
 Mr. William Paul, who ap- peared for the defendants in this case, was admitted to the bar in Ketchikan last December. He has been absent from Wrangell much of the time during the past year, and this is the first case in which he has appeared in Wran. gelI. He is the grand secretary of the Alaska Native Brotherhood and will leave some time in the near future for Washington, D. c. where he will spend some time in the interest of the Alaskan
