Reindeer Meat Is Sold
 At Wrangell, Alaska

The motorship Boxer, which is the Education for it's activities called in this port for a short time says the Wrangell Sentinel w. T. Lopp was aboard and while there disposed of four reindeer carcasses to local meat markets, and a quantity of raw ivory to the curio stores. The government is endeavoring to open up markets for the products of the Eskimos of the far North. The Box CT went from Wrangell to Ketchi- kan where their visit was the occa sion of the following write-up in the Chronicles:
 Describing the work which the Bureau of Education is doing among the Eskimo reindeer herds, w. T. Lopp, superintendent of the govern ment work in the far north who was here on the motorship Boxer, said that a new plan has been worked out to replace the one which has been followed since the inception of reindeer herds in the Arctic.
 Because of the tremendous in- erase in the herds, the question of ownership became quite involved. In herd of 800 beasts there would be as many as 120 individual owners, each with a different brand upon his reindeer. When it came time to mark the calves or lawns, a great deal of dispute would arise as to the actual ownership of the animal. To do away with this problem stock companies were formed, each share of stock representing one animal or it's equivalent in cash. With this plan in use during the past year, in dividual markings have become un- necessary, MT. Lopp said, and only herd mark is placed on the ami mals.
 The greatest difficulty encountered in putting this plan into practice has been the one of finance" said MT. Lopp. At St. Lawrence Island we handled the situation by issuing a quantity of stock to the store which is situated there and in re- turn the Eskimos took supplies"

COMMUNITY Y HALL HALL
 FOR WRANGELL
 BEING PLANNED
(From Wrangell SentineD

A special meeting of the PIT. A. was called at the Grade School on Thursday evening of this week to receive the report of the Central Committee appointed at the regular meeting on November 18th to act in the building of the new gym.
 The committee consisted of A. E. Gurr, chairman, H. D. Campbell, J. G. Grant, Arnt Sorset and N. Nuss- baumer.
 MT. Gurr reported that the com mittee had held several meetings and had spent many hours studying the proposition; that three of the meetings had been held with com mittee from the American Legion and that the report about to be sub- mitted represents many concessions from both groups. He said that the central committee found that the lot adjoining the playshed on the Grade School ground where it had been proposed to build a new gymnasium was too small to put up building of the size required and at the same time provide seating space for spectators; that the local post of the American Legion were willing to join forces with the PIT. A. and to that end would turn over their lot on Church street for a Community Hall consisting of a gymnasium and club rooms.
 It was ascertained that the Legion lot under consideration was being held for the Legion by the Presbyte- rian Board of Home Missions with the stipulation that the Legion with in certain time erect a Community Hall which would also be a Legion Home. The Legion and the Auxiliary have been working for a building fund for some time and it is under stood have now about a thousand dollars saved for that purpose. While the Legion would naturally delight in Home of their own they realize that a building which would amply serve their needs and which would be possible for Post of 30 members to build, would not ade- quately serve the community. In offering to turn over their lot and relinguishing their own plans for the best interests of the community they are certainly setting a fine ex- ample of unselfishness.

WORK OUT PROCESS
 FOR CANNING BUNNY

Turning to canning rabbits from it's routine job of canning fish, the University of Washington College of fisheries under Dean John N. Cobb, claims it has the cottontail in a po- sition where it will taste like the best Maryland chicken.
 Because of it's knowledge of food preparation, the college of fisheries was chosen by Dr. J. P. Clark, a Se- attle physician, to conduct the ex- pertinent which he had planned.
 Sceptical of the result at first Dr. Clark is now convinced that he has invented new industry in the state-that of preserving rabbits provided, of course, that he can get enough rabbits.

Richie Backs Plan
To End Fee System

Baltimore. Attorney Her.
bert R. O'Conor has received letter
from Governor Richie, in which the
Chief Executive expresses the hope
Maryland voters will approve the
States Attorneys amendment" on
November 4.
The letter is as follows:
81 earnestly hope that the proposed
Constitutional amendment readjusting
the financial system Of the Office Of
States Attorney for Baltimore City
will be approved by the voters on No
vember 4.
"This proposed amendment, among
other things, does away with the fee
system, which necessitates the dupli-
cation of indictments, with the in
creased cost which results therefrom
and is otherwise wasteful and unde-
sirable.
"The salary increases provided for
are small when the vast increase in
the amount of work which this office
does is considered and the require
ment that the States Attorneys Office
expenses must be approved by the
Supreme Bench is very proper check
and all that is necessary.
81 sincerely hope the people of
Maryland, regardless of party, will
give their support to this measure"
