REV. CORSER WRITES
 ABLE ARTICLE FOR A
 PROMINENT NEWSPAPER

A very able article by the Rev. H. P. Corser, rector of St. Philips church in Wrangell, appeared in a recent issue of the Living Church, bearing on late theological contro- versies between Modernists and Fundamentalists.
 In Rev. Corser's opinion the re- cent outbreak of doubt among churchmen is due to an obsession brought about by too great an ab- sorption in the triumphs of physical science, and to the lack of consider ation of ones own powers and the fact that man is, according to his own power and ability, a first cause The article advocates service as the one best remedy of doubt concern ing religious teaching.
 MT. Corser has received a letter of thanks, for the article from a prominent worker for Christian Union.

FOX INDUSTRY INCREASES

The Cook Inlet fox farming indus try is doing thriving business this winter according to Judge J. L. Wal let for the trade, and Judge Waller ity. Seldovia is at present the out let for the trade, an dJudge Waller stated that there were over sixty farms located within radius of fifty miles near that town. This winter these farms have shipped forty pair of live silvers, and thirty pair of blues to Seattle, while most of the furs sold find ready market either in Seattle or Juneau. Judge Waller said that about one hundred prime skins had been sold by the farmers this winter.-Anchorage Times.

FUR AND GAME SCARCE
 IN ANCHORAGE DISTRICT
Anchorage Times)

Fresh from 30-day trip of inspec- tion of the greater portion of the trap lines in this district. during which time he covered an approximate dis |tance of 400 miles on snow shoes and with team of nine dogs, Al Hardy, fur and deputy game warden, return led to his Anchorage headquarters on Wednesday. The trip was made for the purpose of observing the closed season on fur, and though small number of beavers were confiscated by the warden, he found that most of the trappers were living up to the recently created closing law In all Mr. Hardy visited apout 35 trappers on the trip.
 Practically all of the trappers are complaining of the small amount of fur catches this winter, especially so on marten, of which there appear to be very few. In previous years an in- |diyidual trapper during the season would gather in from 10 to 50 mar ten, but this winter the highest mum Der trapped by any one of the trap pers MT. Hardy visited, was three.
 There is, however, a considerable amount of mink. and wolverine are plentiful. Of game there is none, and therefore on this score the trap pers in the district covered by MT. Hardy are complaining of the scar city of meat. The country is over run with rabbits and on these the main supply of meat is being ob- tained by both the whites and na- tives. Where formerly there were ample moose roaming over the hills and valleys, and it was no effort at all for trapper or prospector to go itno the woods short distance and knock down a moose now it is a very rare thing to catch a glimpse Iof the animal
 To certain extent, MT. Hardy says, the situation in this section is |similar to that at the present time in the Kenai peninsula district The large herds of moose, which former ly thrived in the Yentna river basin are believed to have sought new foraging grounds over in the Happy river country.

 The Wrangell Hotel, when the ad- dition is completed, will be ahead of the town, but there is little doubt that Mayor Grants confidence Il the future of WrangelI will be more than justified, and that still fur ther additions will be necessary within the next five or ten years.

Bit ter words were spoken against the church during the late war. Were those words justified? Peerless op- portunities now lie open to the church to bulk large in preventing another war. Is the church alive to this opportunity? It is hoped that the men of the community will turn out in considerable numbers, to hear an unsparingly frank discussion of a matter that still rankles in the hearts of millions of citizens of every land.

HARPER REED DOWN
 FROM THE BOUNDARY

Harper Reed came down from the Boundary the first of the week MT. Reed reports having had an ex- tremely hard trip. The absence of shelter cabins and the almost inn passable condition of the trails are a disgrace. It is up to Wrangell to go after the Road Commission to i'm prove the present shameful condi- tion. If the mouth of the Stikine River were in Canadian territory the necessary trails and shelter cab ins would be there. It is true that the business that comes to Wrangell from the Stikine during the winter months is negligible but there is no likelihood of it's increasing under the present condition.

CHILKOOT BARRACKS KEEPS
 IN LINE ON SNOW SHOES
First Parade Ever Held on Snow Shoes in United States Army Takes Place at Chilkoot Garrison, Haines. Alaska.

With high fur hats glistening 2 with a slight sprinkling of snow, with black shoe pacs polished until they shined like patent leather boots, the new gold buttons on their long overcoats gleaming, the troops of this post recently staged what is believed to have been the first pa rade ever held on snow shoes in the United States Army.
 The success of the Chilkoot garri son in drilling on snowshoes durin& the week just past led the command ing officer, Major F. M. Maddox, to announce that parade on snow shoes would be held. It was be- lieved even by the most optimistic that the first parade of this kind would be somewhat ragged and 2 perfect line would only be attained after several such efforts. Such was not the case. The companies passed in line which could not have been bettered on a smooth parade ground under normal conditions. Even the step was kept, no easy task when it is remembered that to each foot was hitched a snow shoe some six feet long and from eight to twelve inchc wide. Major Maddox complimented both companies. the Medical De- tachment and the Color Guard upon their eXcellences.
 Among the notifications in drili to adapt the regulations to use when snow shoes are worn are: CD For. nation of troops in single rank fours executing movements as would the front rank of squads; CD at command to dress, men extend both arms laterally and close until fingers touch those of next man (instead of raising left hand to hiI as usuaD this interval being pre- served; (3) about face is executed in quick time, somewhat as is pre- scribed for double time.

BASKETBALL GIRLS ARE
 HOSTESSES AT NOVEL
 PARTY SATURDAY NIGHT

Last Saturday night the basket ball girls entertained the three boys basketball teams at novel and in- genious party at the gym. The af- from invitations to refreshments was in Chinese effects.
 The gym was gaily decorated with spruce boughs, Chinese lanterns and dozens of bright-colored bal looms. Burning incense added to the Oriental atmosphere.
 The hostesses were charming as Chinese maidens. The guests upon arrival were provided with "be- |queued" caps and sufficient news papers for costumes of their own de- sign. The results they obtained however, were wholly American. The entertainment started with games and finished with dancing The Bronson Orchestra furnishing the music. At eleven o'clock the guests, squatting or pillows ar ranged on the floor, were served with Chicken Chow Main and tea. For a special feature Edna Mae Bid we'll gave charming dance and sang Hong Kong for an appreciative audience.

Troops at Fort Smelling, Minnesota, then under command of Colonel Bjornstad, did great deal of pioneer work in this direction. but no information is available here as to just what was done.
