Ranger 4 Goes on
 Rocks Near Scene
 of Mariposa Wreck

The gasboat Ranger 1, owned by the Forest Service, was wrecked at Strait Island at 3 o'clock Tuesday. The boat struck the reef on which the Mariposa was wrecked, and was almost submerged at once. The only persons aboard at the time the boat was wrecked were E. P. Clark, R. H. ..Runyan and Will liam Brown. These men set out for the shore in row boat which they reached with some difficulty owing to there being a stiff cur rent against them.
 The accident was reported to Forest Supervisor Gardner at Ketchikan, and it is possible that he will send the Tahn to take the place of the Ranger No. 3 tempo rarily. It is also possible that the lighthouse tender Fern will be sent to the scene of the wreck in an effort to salvage the Ranger No. 4.
 R. H. Runyan. one of the men who was aboard the boat when she was wrecked barely escaped being drowned. He was sitting on the stern of the boat, and when she struck the rect he was thrown overheard. Not being able to swim he would have drowned had he not been rescued.
 Forest examiner R. A. Zeller and a party of 10 men have been busy for several weeks cruising timber along the north end of Prince of Wales Island and also making a topographic map of that section. Less than one per cent of the total area of the Ton gass National Forest has been thoroughly cruised.

He says there are number of pupils who are planning to leave Sitka next month to attend high school in other places which means an additional expense to their parents and a loss to the town generally.

That a battery is never us eff

II Is more difficult for the self
