Free Text Books
 For the Wrangeli
 School Next Year

Plans have been perfected by which the pupils of the Wrangell school will be furnished free text books beginning next year. For some time, school reports have des- ignated Wrangell as the only school among the schools of incorporated towns that did not handle the text books; and since the Territory grants refund of 75 per cent on books purchased for the school, and pupils are being requested to turn in the books they have on hand to form nucleus stock, the cost of the initial purchase of books will be re- duced to a minimum. The books will be carefully graded according to their condition when given out in the fall and each pupil will be held responsible for damage done to the books in his possession when they are returned at the end of the school year According to the an nual report of schools for the year 1921-22, thirteen schools furnish free text books; viz, Anch orage, Cordova, Eagle. Fairbanks. Haines. Ketchikan. Nenana. Nome, Peters burg. Seward. Sitka. Skagway and Valdez.

 The strawberry patch looks like veritable deer pasture. with tracks everywhere, some of which indicate there are unusuallylarge deer among the invaders. Even the presence of a dog has failed to keep away the deer which consider the tops of the strawberry plants and especially the blossoms rare delicacy.-Sitka Tribune

+ HEALTH CENTER

Mrs. NJ. o. Johnson, Health Chair man for the local Red Cross chapter has appointed as Chairman of the Loan Closet Committee, Mrs. o. c. Palmer. Mrs. Palmer has selected as her assistants Mrs. P. C. McCor- mack and Mrs. I. c. Bjorge. These ladies will take charge of the furn- ishing of the Loan Closet, a list of the necessities for which has been given them by Mrs. Stephen Grant, the Community Nurse. Donations for the Closet will be sought through the various women's organizations and from interested individuals and will be gratefully received. The con tents of the Loan Closet, which will be kept in the Health Center the Legion Hall, will be available to the community in cases of illness and distress. Few homes have every thing that is neeled when sickness comes and necessary aids for the sick room may be borrowed from the Closet. Already, number of items have been promised and the dispensary at the Government School was transferred by the Bu- reau of Education to the Health Center.
 Another subcommittee appointed by the Health Chairman is the Nursing Committee which will con sist of Mrs. J. H. Wheeler and Mrs. J. w. Pritchett. Another member may be added later. Anyone wish ing the services of the Community Nurse is asked to leave word with Mrs. Wheeler or Mrs. Pritchett. The nurse is also available through the local physicians. While no def mite charge is made for her services, people requiring nursing aid are asked to pay what they can. This money goes back into the Chapter funds, from which, in turn, the sal ary for the nurse is paid. It is in this way that the Nursing Service can be>of the greatest help and bene fit to the community-a service the value of which cannot be estimated in a week or month, but that will be appreciated more and more as results become apparent.

Historic Building Becomes Local
 Health Center
Red Cross Now Has Use of Building That Has Stood for More Than Half A Century and is Relic of the Days of Military Occupation
Mrs. M. o. Johnson Health Chair man for the Local Chapter, An nounces Appointment of Sub Com mittees Community Nurse Busy All the Time

The Health Center is now estap- lished in the quaint old building which has stood for more than half a century on the Government Re- serve near the court house, and which during the past ten years was used for a time as a United States Commissioner office, and later as a hall for the American Legion.
 This historic building, which is constructed of logs, was built in 1867 by Captain Bancroft who built Fort Wrangell. With the exception of the custom house it is the only one left of the eight buildings which comprised the garrison.
 The garrison was abandoned in 1877, at which time the buildings were turned over to the civil author ities.
 In 1914 the building was repaired by order of the district court for use as a court room and recording office, and since that time the building has been more intimately than ever as- sociated with the life of Wrangell. Within it's walls many weddings have have taken place. Under its roof violators of the law have been tried and punished. Here births and deaths have been recorded. Here foreigners have sworn allegiance to the United States, thereby ceasing to be aliens and becoming citizens of the country under whose flag they have made their homes. In 1921 the new jail and recording office was built, but the old building is still used at times as court room. Judge Reed will hold a special term of the District court there during the first week in June for the purpose of again disposing of naturalization cases.
 The historic old building is there fore now being used by the Depart ment of Justice, the American Legion, and the Red Cross. while a neat sign over the entrance tells the world that 1t is the

Captain Foster who recently made a trip through the northern ranges of Alaska, reports that the northern ranges of Alaska were once the natural habitat of the musk-ox. Not only are there large numbers of musk-ox horns to be found on these ranges but there are other evidences that large numbers of these animals once lived in this part of the country. What accident or design drove the musk OK from these ranges is a mystery. He advo- cates their introduction into the territory.

TERRIBLE SWEDE" LANDS
 SECONDLY, IN HOSPITAL
(Ketchikan News) )

The terrible Swede'' and two other gentlemen fell out with the police last night and as a net result Oscar Weston, the former, was talk en to the hospital and his two com- panions escorted to the jail on a charge of refusing to assist an off cer in time of stress.
 What the ruction was all about, no one seems entirely clear: the atmosphere was not clarified after the little tiff had ended and the po- lice are reticent. The charge stands, it is reported, that Weston was ar rested for drunkeness and resisting an officer. The latter charge was quite evident and Oscar will have a hard time refuting it.
