The orchestra, while fully adequate
in the strings, favors the trumpets,
trombones and woodwinds in the big

DR HUGO RIESENFELD'S score
- accompanying the production of
Cecil B. De Miles motion picture
epic, 1.-THE Ten Commandments,s is
said to mark an advance in the art
of combining symphonic music with
pictures into a form of operatic ex-
preston. Much interest should be
aroused among music lovers in the
Washington premiere of The Ten
commandments at the National
Theater tomorrow night, not only
because of the novelties of the Ries-
enfield score, but also because the
music will be performed by an orches-
ira of 20 pieces, headed by Frederick
Arundel, who had charge of the music
for this production at the Woods
Theater, Chicago, and the Pavilion
Theater, London, England.

THIS PAPER HAD LONG
 RIDE FOR ITS PENNY

PAONIA, COLO.-"East is East and West is West,
 And ne'er the twain shall meet"
 But they did meet, for a fleeting visit, when a copy of Editor T. 0. Garretson's Paonian eclipsed Jules Verne's famous Tour of the World in Eighty Days" and strayed to far-away India.
 F. L. Stone of Pendleton, Ind, father of o. J. Stone of Paonia, is a reader of the Paonian. Late in March he missed a copy of the paper, and here is why:
 The Paonian's addressograph simply failed to print letter "n'' so the address appeared on the wrapper in this fashion: IF. l.. Stone. Pendleton, India a."
 Bearing only penny postage the Paonian started on its journey round the world, showing up at Bombay, India, on April 12.
 Obviously failing to find a town of Pendleton in the land of the Hin- du, some British postal clerk passed the paper on to the dead letter of- flee, for 1t bears the stamp. "D.L.O. Bombay IA Apr. 24."
 There, somebody with a Sherlock HHolmes bent solved the mystery, discovered that there was Pendle- ton in Indiana, and sent the paper on, with a red-inked inscription, Indiana, U. S. A."
 In due course of time the paper reached it's original owner, who sent the wrapper back to Paonia for his son and the Paonian pub fishers to see.
 A penny's postage carried the paper approximately 25.000 miles.

Local Man Opposes
 Municipal Ownership
To the Sentinel:

lO lue Oeulluci.
 The old franchise for electric | light is about to expire and the town is anxiously asking what is the Council going to do about it !? The town must have lights.
 Of course the ideal would be for the town to own the light plant but is that practical? The town is small. Hiring responsible men to run town plant would make our electricity cost more than it does now. It would take two men with aggregate wages of at least $350 a month. Add to this cost of oil, wear and tear on machinery etc., and the total cost per month could not be less than $650. This could not be met without nearly doubling the cost of light. AS light user, the writer says: Please excuse me.
 There are two men who are seek ing a franchise who are so situated that they can furnish light cheaper than any other persons.
 O.D Leet, manager of Wrangell's fine new cold storage plant, has ap- piled for a franchise in his own name, and undoubtedly he is in a position to successfully handle a proposition of this kind.
 H. w. Gartley has applied for a franchise in the name of the Will son & Sylvester Mill Company. and I understand that this corporation has power up to 300 horsepower free 16 hours day, justs when the town needs it. We would be sure of service there adequate to the needs of the town, and at reasonable rates.
 I have no desire to even suggest to the Council which applicant should be granted a franchise, but in view of the fact that the Palmer franchise expires next week, think the Council should make a de- cision on one of the proposed fran chises at once, and give us a chance to vote on it without further delay.

Willoushby Bartlett Drowned Here This
 This Afternoon

The community was shocked this afternoon wheh it became known that Willoughby. the twelve year old son of Glen Bartlett, had been drowned.
 The boy was walking on a boom of logs near the shingle mill when log turned, causing him to fall in to the water. He was wearing heavy rubber boots and these filled with water making 1t impossible for him to save himself. Some boys who were some distance away in a rowboat rowed ashore and reported the matter.
 M. Mckinney and o. c. Palmer hastily secured a pike pole and row. Cd to where the boy had disappear ed. They soon located him lying on the bottom of the bay. The body was brought ashore and Dr. Shurick and Mrs. s. D. Grant, Red Cross nurse, were summoned. A considerable time was spent in untiring efforts to resuscitate the boy without avail.
 Willoughby Bartlett was the son of Glen Bartlett, a we'll known ho- tel man of Seattle who was formerly ill charge of the Gastineau hotel at Juneau and the Revilla hotel at Ketchikan.
 The boy arrived in Wrangell sew eral weeks ago to spend his school vacation here visiting his grand mother, Mrs. Georgia Clark. who is spending the summer here. Will oughby was a most likable boy, and his passing is a tragedy which will be felt deeply by many hundreds of sympathetic hearts.
 The body will be shipped to Seat tie for interment.

Grand Trunk Will Run Boats
 Next Season

John Hooper, president of the Affiliated Tourist Societies, writing to the publisher of the Sentinel from Toronto under date of July 2, says:
 "I have interviewed the Canadian National Railways-Grand Trunk Pacific Steamship Company and you can assure the people of Wran- gell that two fine boats (at least two and possibly three) will be put on the Southeastern Alaska run in 1925, making weekly trips and calling at Wrangell both ways.
 These modern fast passenger boats will be up to date express tourist passenger steamships of the very latest type. One is now under way at Prince Rupert, and two others are being built On the Clyde, Scotland.
 'I have personally seen the ten tatiye schedule now being prepared, and note with pleasure that the service to Wrangell will be on schedule days and hours, with pub lished hours of arrival and depart ure. This will cut the mail and passenger service to the Eastern states and Canada two days at least. If the United States and Canada grant mail franchises you will eventually receive mail service every other day on R. R. fast ex- press service schedule with hours of arrival and departure from Wrangell on all time tables. Wran- gell will be one of three Alaskan ports reached by this splendid new service.'

Live and Let Live

The most unselfish business car reid on in any community is the newspaper business, says the Milton (Fla.) Gazette. The editor has de- mands made upon his time and his space, which is his only stock in trade, that is wholly out of propor- tion to that given by any other business or profession in the com munity.
 If there is an industrial plant to promote, the space of the news paper is devoted freely to the propa- ganda boosting the enterprise. The business men who are to profit most by the launching think it no more than the newspaper should do and he renders the service without pay and without thanks If there is a church edifice to build the news paper is expected to boost the prop osition and to help in every way the movement for subscriptions, and the newspaper does it, and when the subscription paper is passed he is expected to contribute as much in cash as the fellow of like financial standing contributes who has given neither time nor space to the enter prise..
 If there is cleanup campaign on, the newspaper is supposed to boost 1t for the entire season and the editor does this at his own ex- pense. If there is farmers meet ing, church meeting, a meeting of commercial men, or social clubs, or if any firm makes a change in any way the matter is referred to through the newspaper. Besides, the newspaper is boosting every other business, helping the business men make money on their invest ments and yet there are in every community business men yho can. not enjoy life and see the local newspaper prosper. It is one of tho ironies of fate and newspaper mer go on serving the public unselfish ly, accepting the business of those who are appreciative and who art willing to give support to thos' whose whole time Is devoted tt helping build up and boost thu town.

The Scoop
 That Failed
By RICHARD SURATT

Very few of the audience who witnessed the turf classic between Zev and Papyrus at the Starland the other night realized that the most bitter conflict in the history of screen reporting took place before ! their eyes. To the layman there was nothing that would indicate the clash but several who saw the film wondered why the pictures were unsteady and what caused the flashes of light. It is seldom that the public is permitted a glimpse of the whees that move the industry and the operating methods of screen weeklies are unscrutable. The following may prove of interest to Alaskan picture fans.
 Several weeks before the race the editors of the four screen week. lies held a powwow and decided against paying the tribute demand ed by the race promoters for pie ture privileges. A few days prior to the event one company famous for its scoops" secretly (so they thought purchased the exclusive screen rights. Their cameramen were transported to the track under guard. No others were to pass the gate.
 The Outlaw companies prepared to give battle. Field men were call ed in to help the New York staff and free lances were employed. Squads of men armed with small automatic cameras concealed in their clothing entered with the crowd. Anyone who bulged sus- piciously was "frisked" by the po- lice and if his camera were found he was escorted to the gate. A few got by and did their stuff.
 Outside the enclosure men were stationed on high trucks and in trees, with cameras and telescope lens to make the Hong shots'. The opposition used stink bombs to dis lodge them but few that were well guarded succeeded in getting pie lures of the race. The "outlaws" were equally vigilant. The camera men who had been ejected returned with large hand mirrors and flashed sunlight into the enemy lens. One of the mirror men was seen kneel- ing under a tree in the center of the picture as the horses pass. This accounts for the beams of light that flashed across the screen.
 Aerial cameramen scared over head to photograph the race from aloft but an "outlaw" aviator flew below them and laid a smoke screen to conceal the track.
 The pictures shown here were the Outlaw" films.

his church, was called upon to lead the opening prayer and said: "0h Lord, bless our dear pastor as he comes to labor among us. If you will keep him humble, Lord, we will keep him poor" That is the atti- tude that some business men always assume toward their newspaper. We are glad to note that their num- Der is growing smaller with each passing year. The newspaper is considered a necessity and intelli- gent business men know that to have a good newspaper they must give 1t whole-hearted support.
