HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

River Falls came out with flying
colors in the league debates helt
last Friday night. The affirmative
team won from New Richmond will
a two to one decision, while the mega
tive team also carried home a two *
one decision from Ellsworth. These
victories permit the two teams to de
bate with the winners from some othel
district in the near future.
Too much credit can certainly not b.
given to Mr.. Mason for his work, in
training the winning teams. For two
years the River Falls High School has
lost in the district contests, but un-
der his efficient coaching the debaters
were given the preparation needed to
win over both opposing teams. The
credit for winning the debates GER
tainly belongs to the coach, although,
the Individual members of the teams
have also put in a great deal of hard
work.
A good sized crowd for mere de-
bate - attended the local debate
against New Richmond. This speaks
well for the interest held by the
towns people in the outside activities
of the students. The school certain
~ appreciates such interest. When
the next debate occurs, we hope that
all who are able and interested in
such activities will turn out and help
support River Falls.
The Ia Ia Pochen Camp Fire girls
served refreshments after the debate
to the debating teams, coaches, and
judges, in the library.
While waiting for the returns Of
the debate at Ellsworth, a social hour
was spent by dancing in the gym.
In one of the most thrilling games
seen on the local floor in recent years,
the Gold and White defeated Ham
mond by the close score of 27-20.
The game was very holly contested
Throughout the first half, ending I'LL.
All the members of the local team
played fine game with Captain Rich
ardson staring. He Gagged five field
baskets and three free throws. Nc
Kinnon and Follansbee played a stel-
lar floor game while Driscoll and Daw-
son played great defensive game.
A committee of T. N. T. girls en-
tertained the two teams after the
game Wednesday night
Friday afternoon we lost to Hud-
son % to %. We contested the bas-
ket that won the game for them but
the referee did not see it our way and

Something should be done to arouse more interest in the Wrangell Fire Department It seems that it is only when there is a fire that the boys are given a thought. There is no doubt that if the boys had a cozy room to meet in, some place where they could spend their evenings, in- stead of the barn like room they now have, there would be more interest taken in the department by the boys themselves. Benefits are given here for this organization and that organ izatiOn, which is all very good. but why not give few for the Bremen, so that they may fix up their hall and make it a place which they will like to come to. They have money; yes, small sum put away in case any of the boys are injured while on duty. but they hope they will not have to touch that Something should be done to help them.

The proposed Hydro Electric power plant will enable us to heat by electricity. Five dollars a month for cook stove is the usual flat rate. This means some saving to home.
 The idea of bringing the current by cable is no untried experiment. Bremerton is furnished with power by cable from Port Angeles. Like wise Vashon island is furnished with power. The plant when install ed should be run by three men, one at the power house, one at the trans former in town, and lineman. The Council has assurances that new industries will flock to us as soon as power can be had here reasonably

Wrangell Red Cross
 Work Acknowledged

The following letter received by Hrs. Josephine Mason, refers to work allotted the local Red Cross women ast spring for convalescent hospitals. Twenty-two suits of pajamas and twelve conyalescent robes were made.
 The materials for the garments were shipped direct from whole sale house and the expense borne by the local chapter. The cutting was all done here and the findings pur- chased here. For weeks a few women remained faithful to the work. sac rificing home and social duties that the work might be finished in the all lotted time.
 The letter of acknowledgement reads as follows:
 "The report of production on your August 1040 and also your letter mo- tifying us of your shipment, safely at hand.
 We want to tell you how very grateful we are for this wonderful work for our disabled men in Port Townsend Hospital. I think the men will be especially appreciative that this work was done in Alaska by your workers. Please believe that every garment will be delivered to some ex- service man who is not yet getting his compensation and so has no means with which to buy such ne- cessities.''

Regarding Mail Service

At the Commercial club luncheon Monday there was considerable dis cussion of the mail service. or rather the lack of mail service. This subject has been up for discussion on several previous occasions. Every merchant in Wrangeil knows the inconvenience of receiving a shipment of goods, and having to wait until the next boat for the invoices. When two boats are leaving Seattle on the same day the jobbers know enough to get their shipments on the faster boat, but all most invariably the Wrangell mail is put on the boat that reaches Wran- gell one or two days after the other one was in port.
 The Commercial Club is sending out several letters with the object. of getting relief from the present prac- tice. Local merchants are also taking up the matter with the wholesale houses of Seattle. asking that they interest themselves in the matter the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has also been asked to use its influence with the postal authorities. It is be- lieved that if the postal authorities would appoint as superintendent of Alaskan mail some one thoroughly familiar with Alaska a great inn provement in the service would be noticeable at once. ..-.-.----.-.----

the tired hungry man as does the
NANNY kind
The ungodly time of arrival Of the
trains-3 a. M.-which seems to be
the agreed hour up and down the
length and breadth of the Eastern
Shore, is awful enough, but when one
considers the cooking, it is not to be
wondered at that an old hotel man

planned that he only had transients'
Salisbury is a splendid little city.
The metropolis of the Shore, her peo-
pie say, she is receiving black eye
for the want of q modern hotel.
During the World War $250,000 was
in the pot for the construction of
one that would advertise the place
The tWO-time cost of everything
jumped the estimated cost to $3.50
900, ana the project was buried. For
some reason the corpse cannot be
brought to life, so Salisbury is sim
ply grieving over the loss and try
