DR. TRUBEY INSPECTS
 LOCAL DAIRY HERDS

Dr. D. w. Trubey of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Sacramento, Cal. has been in Wrangell this week inspecting local dairy herds, and left on the Rogers today for Ketchikan to finish his Alaska in- spection. Out of IT head examined here, Dr. Trubey found only one re- actor, or condemnation; and that reaction existed in only very slight degree. The total number of cattle examined so far on his tour of Alaska was $40 out of which 25 were condemned. Dr. Trubey states that it is a comparatively easy mat ter to control disease in cattle in the Territory owing to the fact that dairymen do not as a rule transfer cattle from one Alaskan locality to another but ship them in from the states where they are examined be- fore they are sent out. Only the Ketchikan cattle remain to be ex- amined at this time.

COLD STORAGE PLANT FOR INTANGIBLE;
 WILL BE IN OPERATION THIS SPRING

He offered to put up two-thirds of the money required, and the local people lost no time in subscribing the other one-third.
 Although young man, MT. Leet has had both engineering and busi- eness experience which specially fits him for the cold storage busi- ness. After leaving college he had charge of the engine room and later became assistant manager of one of the largest creameries in northern Ohio. In 1919 he went with the Phoenix Ice Machine Co.,, of Cleve- land, Ohio, and since that time has been connected with this large manufacturing concern in the ca- pacity of refrigeration engineer and erector. He is also financially in- terested in a going business con- cern at Conneaut, Ohio.
 MT. Leet has the financial back ing of his father, Dr. w. H. Leet, who, in addition to being we'll known surgeon, is a director in the Conneaut Bank and Trust Com pany of Conneaut, Ohio, and also president of the Conneaut Creamery Company, which is hundred thousand dollar concern. Dr. Leet is an ex-service man, having served overseas during the World War with the rank of Colonel. He is also former mayor of the city of Con- neaut, Ohio.

GOLD CAMP
 COMING BACK TO LIFE

Nome, famous bonanza camp of
 he early days, which in late years
 eemed on the verge of falling into
 hat state of decay which has over
 aken so many of the early day
 amps, is now on the threshold of a lew stage of development and bids fair to again become a great gold producer, according to James P. Daily, Nome agent of the Alaska Steamship Company. in a statement to the Seattle press.
 Nome's prospective comeback is to be the result of the advent of the Hammon Dredge Company's entry into the dredging field last year. The company has already installed two mammoth dreges on ground on the famous third beach" formerly owned by the Pioneer Mining Com pany and is preparing to add four more to the fleet during the next two years. The program outlined an expenditure of close to four million dollars during that period. Daly predicted that the gold production of the camp would be close to million dollars this year.

GUS GELLES LAUNCHES
 CAMPAIGN FOR TARIFF
 BRITISH COLUMBIA COAL

Gus Gelles, one of the best known commercial travellers in Alaska, and who recently became sales manager for the Evans Jones Coal Company, has addressed the following letter to the Anchorage Times:
 Gentlemen: Kindly give public ity to the fact that a campaign was recently launched by Gus Gelles, sales manager of the Evans-Jones Coal Company, for a tariff on inn ports of foreign coal into Alaska of at least $4.0O per ton. Such a tar if would automatically drive Ca- nadian coal out of Alaska and give Alaskan coal operators a market they are justly entitled to. Gov. Scott c. Bone has endorsed the movement and the aid of Delegate Sutherland is pledged. Congress man Charles F. Curry and United States Senator Wesley L. Jones have been appealed to and word will undoubtedly come from both in the very near future that/they will cooperate.
 It is to the interest of all Alas kan coal lessees to supplement the work already done in this matter with letters to as many Senators and Congressmen as possible. The writer will gladly furnish all inter- ested parties with full particulars as to why the duty should be at least $4.00 and all other statistics pertaining thereto.
 Driving Canadian coal out of Al aska would mean the hauling of at least 100000 tons of coal over the Alaska railroad and the employ ment of many hundreds of miners and additional train crews.
 | The coal mines of British Colum- bia are worked with Chinese and Hindu coolie labor and yet Alaskan coal operators employing American labor that is we'll paid are selling cheaper at the mine than is onr un- fair competition. With the large margin of profit that those foreign mines have, due to this difference in labor cost. what is to stop them from greatly reducing their price whenever our competition is fac tor in the Alaskan commerce. and thus putting us out of business over night With such a condition confronting us, it is up to every body to unite and keep hammerina away until we are protected by g tariff wall ample enough to enable the infant Alaskan coal industry tt become a grown-up.
 Very truly yours,

BIG SAW MILL
 DEAL PENDING
(Sitka Tribune)

Arthur Marsden, who has been spending the last two weeks in and around Sitka choking up the timber resources with a view to erecting a larger saw mill, will leave on the Rogers for Seattle en route to New York. To representative of the Tribune, MT. Marsden stated that he had secured an extension on the Mills Corporation Mill in order to complete some details in Seattle, but if market conditions justify, the erection of a larger sawmill atSitka will be started without delay.
 Every angle of the timber business has been thoroughly investigated at this end and so far MT. Marsden has found everything very satisfactory. All the reports from MT. Simpson have been verified and it is due to the latter that matters have pro- gressed so favorably.
 Time and money have been spent by MT. Simpson during the past two years in gathering data to present to those who might be willing to invest in this business in Sitka. and in se- lecting him to handle the Sitka end the management put the right man in the right place.
 MT. Marsden appreciates the many courtesies shown him by membersof the City Council, Commercial Club and residents, and has let it be known that he wishes ito grow up with the community" With this end in view the labor situation was dis cussed and it is the opinion of these gentlemen that a bonus should be paid to the employees and a personal interest taken in all that are employ ed.
 The option from the Mills Corpora tion calls for far better deal than was anticipated, MT. Mills realizing that the establishment of an industry of this kind will be benefit to the whole section.

TO BE INCORPORATED FOR $30,000
Oliver D. Leet, a Refrigeration Engineer Who Is Also One of Incorporators,
 Will Be in Charge as Manager

It is with considerable pleasure that the Sentinel is able to report that cold storage plant for Wran- gell is now certainty.
 o. D. Leet, who has been in cor respondence with members of the Wrangell Commercial Club for sev- ral months, arrived here a few days ago. He was present at the Con- mercial Club luncheon last Monday and laid his proposition before that organization. He announced that after Investigating the local situa- tion he was convinced that there is a good opportunity here for cold storage, and that he was willing to put in a plant if local people would go in with him on the propo- sition. He estimated that it would require s3O,0OO to put in a plant that would be adequate for local needs. He proposed the organiza tion of stock company. and offered to put up two-thirds of the capital required. The mem oers at the luncheon were so well pleased with the proposition that meeting was called for Monday evening to further consider the matter.
 At the meeting Monday evening MT. Leet's proposition was repeated for the benefit of those who had not been present at the luncheon. The chairman then called for an ex- pression from the members. It re- uuired but a few minutes to find that the Commercial Club and citi- zens generally were strongly in fla vor of ac epting MT. Leet's proposi- tion.
 Leo Mccormack stated that he believed the next thing in order would be to raise the money. The chairman then called for subscrip- tions, and in less than five minutes over $S,OOO had been subscribed.
 The chairman appointed com mittee composed of Leo Mccormack, o. Gunderson and A. B. Gurr to se- cure additional subscriptions and also to find a suitable site for the location of the plant, and report at a call meeting on the following evening"
 At the meeting of the Conner cial Club on Tuesday evening the committee reported that $11, 200 had been subscribed to date. The committee also reported that it would be possible to secure site for the plant from the Mccormack Dock Co. The chairman asked if any one present had in mind any other site that he wished to have considered. Four or five other sites were suggested. none of which met with general approval.
 A motion then prevailed that the Cold Storage Committee be increas- ed to five members and that the committee be empowered to act for the stockholders in deciding upon a location, and also in dealing with MT. Leet. The chairman named Geo H. Barnes and c. w. Russell as ad- ditions to the existing committee composed of Leo Mccormack, Ole Gunderson, and A. E. Gurr. Lee Mccormack stated that inasmuch as a site offered by the McCormacl Dock Company was under consider ation he would prefer to bt excused from further service on tht committee. However, the request o MT. Mccormack was not granted al the stockholders saw no impropri ety in his remaining as chairman O the committee.
 The committee spent a good DOT tion of the following day investiga ting the several proposed sites, ant finally decided upon the one offere,

| An agreement was then signed with the Mccormack Dock Company for a twenty year lease, with option for renewal at it's expiration. This is, of course, equivalent to a perpetual lease, should it be desired
 This new enterprise will be known as the Wrangell Cold Storage and Ice Company and will be under the personal management of o. D. Leet who will return to Wrangell in short time accompanied by his wife. The company will incorporate for $3O,OOO. The subscription list is not yet closed. Any one who wishes to subscribe for stock may do so by calling on the committee. Those who have already subscribed may secure additional stock if they wish. At least forty citizens will hold stock in the new corporation. They are

Harvie, S. W. Jenkins, Fred Bevier. | Before leaving on the Admiral Rogers Thursday MT. Leet stated that construction work would begin about the middle of February, and that the plant would be in opera tion about the first of April.
 The company will supply ice and bait, and will have refrigerator space available for fishermen, mer- chants, or any one else.
 The coming of MT. Leet to Wran- gell to establish a business that is greatly needed here is an example of how the tourist business may be- come a means of developing the country. During the past summer Dr. w. H. Leet, a prominent sur geon of the Buckeye state, accompa- nied by his wife and daughter made a trip to Alaska. While their boat was in port in Wrangell. the Doctor became engaged in conver- sation with member of the Wrangell Commercial Club. The Doctor expressed his pleasure at finding such a we'll kept little city. The Wrangell man not knowingthat he was talking to the father of re- frigeration engineer, casually men ltioned that one of the towns most urgent needs was cold storage. When the son heard about the opening for a cold storage here he became interested and entered into Correspondence with the Conner ciaI Club. Leo Mccormack, who is chairman of the advertising con- mittee, attended to the correspond ence and after the exchange of sev- Ieral letters MT. Leet became inter- Iested to the extent that he came to Wrangell to personally look over ithe field. After his arrival here it required only couple of days for him to decide that Wrangell offers an unusual opportunity for a cold storage.
 Like any good business man, MT Leet fully appreciated the import ance of having local people inter- ook od with him in tho ontarnrfao
