 All the visitors are delighted with the Alaskan coast, and will go away to bear glowing testimony to its beauty and alluring comfort.
 Wrangell citizens will be glad to have another visit from such genial travellers.

Suratt Gets More
 Pictures in CasSiar

Richard Suratt, the we'll known cinematographer of Wrangell, recently returned from a triI into the Cassiar where he SC. cured 450 feet of remarkable films for the Pathe News.
 On the road between Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake, MT. Sur. ratt secured pictures showing how the most primitive methods of transportation are being re- placed by strictly modern meth ods. The pictures show cater pillar in operation on the same trail with a fifty-horse pack train belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company. Another section of the film shows the caterpillar meeting an Indian on the trail with 10 pack dogs loaded with beaver skins.
 MT. Suratt was fortunate in getting a most picturesque back ground which also emphasized the success with which transpor- tation difficulties in the Cassiar are being overcome. He also se- cured a number of closeups that were full of human interest. This is probably the last year the pack train will be in opera tion between Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake.
 MT. Surratt says that accord ing to history primitive people have always looked askance upon the introduction of modern methods, but that such is not the case with the Indians of the Cassiar. They are far seeing enough to realize that modern transportation methods will open up the country and make plenty of work for them. They are even more enthusiastic over the cater pillar and the Fordson tractor than are the whites.

Sister of Judge Thomas
 Celebrates 84th Birthday

A few days ago Judge Wm. G Thomas received some interest. ing photographs showing the happy scenes of a reunion of the family of his sister. Mrs. Cathe. rine Morris of The Dalles, Oregon
 The family reunion was held on the occasion of Mrs. Morris $ 84th birthday. She is the mother of nine children-five daughters and four sons. One of the pie lures received by Judge Thomas shows his sister surrounded by a group of fifty of her descendants, and even this number does not represent her entire progeny. She has one son who raised a family in the Province of Mani toba, and none of her grandchil- dren and great grandchildren re- siding in Canada are represented in the picture.
 Mrs. Morris crossed the Plains with her parents in the early fifties and spent the greater part of her life in the Tigh Valley near The Dalles. Her husband died about fifteen years ago. Several years later she moved to the Dalles. Mrs. Morris was one of nine children only three of whom are now living.

Water Shortage Has
 Hindered Industries

During the weeks that the water has been shut off tor power pur- poses the Sentinel has omitted a number of legitimate items of news. This has not been through choice but necessity, as the past few is- sues have been published under a tremendous handicap.
 The water situation has been acute, and the town council has had no easy job in coping with con- ditions.
 The shutting down ot the saw mill for want of water at the height of-the season has been jolt to the town. The cutting off of water from the cannery and the laundry and the printing office has also been unfortunate.
 Bu. the situation could have been even worse. Fortunately there has been no fire. However, ar- engagements were made a few days ago that in case of fire salt water could be pumped into the city main under sufficient pressure to sue cessfully combat the flames under any ordinary circumstances
 However, we are glad to report that weather conditions today are such as to cause the belief that we are about to enter upon a rainy spell that will bring an end to the water shortage for this year al least.
