EXCURSION UP STIKINE
 FOR WRANGELL PEOPLE

The people of WrangeIl are never afforded a greater opportunity for really enjoyable trip and outing than when Captain Sid Harrington runs an excursion up the Stikine for the especial benefit of local peo- pie.
 This year the trip includes an auto trip beyond Telegraph Creek along the scenic canyons of the Sti- kline and Taltan rivers The low excursion rate seems almost too good to be true--only $35 for the round trip, including meals, berths, and the automobile tour. The ex- cursion leaves here Tuesday, Au- gust 26 and will return on Friday.

The Wrangell Red Cross Chapter was organized in April, 1917. Act i've work began at once. Benefits were arranged, membership drive was inaugurated, goods and sewing materials were ordered, and the To- cal people assumed their share of the war work cheerfully and en- Enthusiastically. Since the war many garments have been made for the convalescent soldiers in the hospitals and last year Wrangell followed the lead of other progress i've communities and established a Red Cross Health Center with a Public Health Nurse. This is in
 line with the peace time program of the Red Cross. The value of the Nursing Service to the commun- ity has been of far reaching good. It has been widely varied in char acter and has ministered to the re- lief of the community in many ways The value of the Nursing Service has been so amply demon strated that it should have the backing of every man, woman and child in the toown. It should be a matter of pride and good citizenship to say "I belong to the Red Cross.' '

 To All Concerned:
 Inasmuch as Congress has passed a law requiring the Secretary of the Interior to give his personal consent for all Alaskan Indians to enter this school after January 1, 1925, yet up to January 1st next we are privil- eged to accept pupils who can re- main until their courses are com pleted, therefore I am advising that we will be glad to accept students from Alaska for enrolment now.

 Frank S. Barnes, J. G. Grant and A. E. Gurr were appointed a con- mittee to finance the trip of the committee to Juneau.
 The meeting then adjourned.
 On Monday J. W. Pritchett, sec retary of the Commercial Club, re- ceived the following cablegram from the committee:
 Held interview yesterday
 with Governor Bone and Dis
 trict Attorney Shoup. Both
 parties have wired O'Malley
 requesting extension be grant
 ed if possible
 Another cablegram was received cn Tuesday which was as follows:
 Gable office advises today
 that all messages sent O'Malley
 are being held at Cordova.
 Present wherea bouts unknown.
 Your committee believes no re-
 lief can be expected for ex-
 tension closed season. Terri
 torial authorities here in sym
 pathy with our appeal, but
 powerless to lend further as-
 sistance.'
 Last evening the following cable gram was received from Commis- sioner O'Malley who is now at Cor dova:
 Cannot consider recom-
 mending extension fishing sea-
 son Wrangell area. Small catch
 that district to date would in-
 dicate that district needed all
 protection possible"
 Had the committee which went from Wrangell to Juneau been able to take up the matter with MT. O'Malley personally his answer might have been different.
 The wording of the Commission er's cablegram shows plainly that regardless of how sincere he may be he is not familiar with conditions in the Wrangell area as they actu- ally exist. The light catch of fish up to the present time is in reality not the slightest indication of a she rtage of fish There is merely a late run this year, and if the closed season had not gone into effect there is little doubt that all the can- neries in the Wrangell district would have been able to put uI their normal packs. And this would have been done without endangering in the least the future supply of salmon.
 However, the failure to get an extension of the season this year does not mean that the effort is wasted. In view of the vigorous protest that has been entered through the Governors office and that of the U. S. District Attorney it is unlikely that the Wrangel district will be subjected to such g serious and unnecessary hardship another year.

Extension of Fishing Season
 Not Granted

A public meeting of citizens was called by the Wangell Commercial Club last Friday morning for the purpose of taking whatever steps seemed advisable in an effort to get the time of the closing of the fish ing season extended. H. w. Cart ley presided at the meeting.
 It was pointed out that the order for a closed fishing season from August 20 to September was un- necessary for the conservation of fish, and furthermore that its en- forcement would mean hardship for the fishermen, the merchants, and the cannerymen. None of the canneries in the Wrangell district would have half of their pack on August 20, and the closing of the fishing season on this date could mean nothing but heavy financial loss or bankruptcy for the canner- ies. The merchants would also be hit hard, because when the fisher men are not permitted to catch fish they are not able to pay their bills
 After some discussion as to the most advisable course to pursue it was the concensus of opinion that the best way to reach Herbert Hoo yer would be through the Governor of Alaska and Hon. Henry O'Malley Commissioner of the Bureau of Fisheries. On motion a committee of three was appointed to draft a resolution to be delivered to the Governor and to MT. O'Malley. The chairman named the following com mittee: Capt. J. J. Reynolds, c. w. Russell, J. G. Grant.
 The meeting then adjourned un- til two o'clock in the afternoon.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1924-08-21
Afternoon Meeting

The attendance at the afternoon meeting was much larger than it had been in the forenoon.
 The committee offered the fol- lowing resolution which was adopt ed:
 WHEREAS, Regulations were promulgated by the Department of Commerce as set forth in Section s of Department Circular No. 251, un- der Laws and Regulations for the Protection of Fisheries of Alaska, dated June 21, 1924, closing the waters within this district from August 20 to September g, and
 WHEREAS, In reviewing the statistics of previous years and par ticuarly of this year, we find that the date of closing as named for this locality will not permit of sufficient fish being taken by any form of gear to enable the canneries to put up half their normal pack for which preparation had already been made previous to the date on which Cir cular No. 251 was promulgated.
 In an effort to determine the course of migration of salmon en- tering this district, the Bureau of Fisheries carried on extensive opera tions by tagging salmon at Point Ruins, on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, during the month of July. It may be stated here that a considerable number of these tag ged salmon have been taken in this district from five to twelve days af- ter being tagged at the above named point, and coming a distance of ap- proximately 75 miles. Therefore be
 RESOLVED, That in view of the unusually light catch of fish to date together with the facts set forth showing conclusively that the sal mon enter this district later than on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, we feel that we are fully justified in earnestly request ing that the closing date for this locality be extended to conform with the date which applies on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, namely, August 25.
 We are heartily in accord with the Department of Commerce in it's efforts to conserve the salmon of Alaska, and in making this request we are sure that we are not asking for anything that is in the least in consistent with the Departments conservation policy.
 The interest and influence of the Governor of Alaska and the Commis- sioner of Fisheries is earnestly sought in bringing about the relief prayed for.
 Someone present proposed that a committee be sent to Juneau to take up the matter personally with the Governor and the Bureau oi Fisheries officials. This sugges- tion seemed to meet with unani- nous approval. A motion then prevailed that a committee of three
The Wrangell sentinel., 1924-08-21

be appointed to go to Juneau to do whatever they could in an effort to get an extension of the date on which the season closes. The fol- lowing committee was appointed: Jorgen Roaming, representing the fishermen; c. w. Russell, repre- senting the merchants; and Capt. J. J. Reynolds, representing the cannerymen.
 Frank S. Barnes, J. G. Grant and A. E. Gurr were appointed com mittee to finance the trip of the committee to Juneau.
 The meeting then adjourned
