Rasmus0n a Good Booster
(Anchorage Times)

E. A. Rasmuson, president of the Bank of Alaska, who arrived on the special Sunday train, speaks -opti- mistically of all the coast towns of Alaska, none of which he says ap- pear to be going back.
 That Wrangell has mad the best summer it has experience during tho last twenty years, is the opinion of MT. Rasmuson. The cold storage plant there has done a splendid business, and the lumber mill there ran full blast all summer. This mill has a capacity of 75,000 feet day.
 MT. Rasmussen believes there will be quite a rush into Wrangell next spring, when miners and prospectors will arrive there en route to the new placer gold strike in the Cassiar re zion. He said conservative miners 
 who have visited the mining proper ties there believe in the future of the camp. They say it is virgin ground, which looks good, but has not been proven yet. There is a good auto road for 70 miles from Telegraph Creek en route to the new diggings.
 That the Fairbanks section will come forward this next season which will be benefit to Anchorage as some of the trade must come through here, is the firm belief of MT. Rasmuson.
 "One thing that looks good for the future of Alaska" MT Rasmuson said, "is the number of women and children coming to the territory which means new and permanent homes. More women and children have come into Alaska this last year than at any previous time in his tory
 MT. Rasmuson, who is a guest at the Anchorage hotel, intends re- maining in Anchorage for at least a month.

 building to be vested in a body of seven members known as the Board of Control. These members shall consist of two members elected by the Parent-Teacher Assocation, two members from the City Council, one member elected by the Legion, one member elected by the Auxiliary and the Mayor of the town.
 To finance such building, the committee outlined the following plans as being practical and advis- able under the circumstances:
 Board of Control incorporate for 1000 .OO.
 The PIT. A. and American Legion with the Auxiliary place to the cred it of the Board of Control s2,000. %
 The PIT. A. contributing s1,O0O. and the other two organizations do- ing likewise, jointly.
 Sell to members of the American Legion twenty s1OO certificates.
 Sell to the parents of school chill dren and the public spirited citizens of the town forty s1O0. certificates.
 Stock not to carry any interes' payments for first year or two and after that date interest not to exceed six per cent.
 This indebtedness to be paid of from the rental and revenue of the building, and through the activities of the Parent-Teacher Association the Legion and the Auxiliary,
 The City Council, American Le zion and the Auxiliary to pass reso- lutions, copies of which to file with the Board of Control, agreeing that so far as the gymnasium is concern ed, the first consideration should be for the school children at all times provided that such children must be in attendance as an organized body or under supervision. This restric- ton being considered advisable SC that there would be no damage in- flicted upon the gymnasium or it's equipment.
 Discussion following the report submitted, resulted in a motion which prevailed that the Pr. A. en dorse the report and recommenda- tions of the Central Committee.
 This committee was then dis charged and the chair empowered to appoint another Central Committed with similar duties in relation to the changed plans, The chair i'm mediately re-appointed the original committee.
 A. E. Gurr and J. G. Grant were appointed Pr. A. members of the Board of Control.
 A committee from the Legion will now present the Community Hall pro- ject to the Legion and Auxiliary as the Central Committee presented it to the PIT. A. and action is expected to be taken by those organizations very shortly.

Community Hall For Wrangell
 Is Planned

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- mittee represented many concessions from both groups. He said that the Central Committee found that the lot adjoining the playshed on the Grade School grounds where it had been proposed to build a new gymnasium was too small to put up a 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 a 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 sometime and it is under stood have now about a thousand dollars saved for that purpose. While the Legion would naturally 1;frh of ho, realize that a building which would amply serve their needs and which would be possible for a Post of 31 members to build, would not ade- quately serve the community. In offering to turn over their lot and relinquishing their own plans for the best interests of the community they are certainly setting a fine ex- ample of unselfishness
 The lot in question lies 40 feet from the Presbyterian church and extends S5 feet eastward on Church street and back to a depth of l10 feet. Its east line adjoins street as yet unopened extending up the hill parallel with Greif street.
 Briefly the report of the Central Committee and it's recommendation were as follows:
 LOCATION: American Legion lot next Presbyterian church.
 TITLE: Lot to be deeded to Board of Control.
 BUILDING: 65 90
 GYM FLOOR: 4s X 80
 SEATS: Running parallel with length of floor on each side which will have an incline providing un obstructed view of the floor from all points.
 SEATING CAPACITY: 45O to 500
 STAGE: Extends within the north end of the building ten feet and an additional ten feet built on the end of the building and covered with a "lean-to"
 CLUB ROOM: Built on the face of the gymnasium giving it a finish cd aDnearance The ground floor will be utilized for shower baths and other facilities for the patrons of the gym.
 The second story to be devoted to a club room with arrangements for eventually installing a kitchen and banquet hall.
 The club rooms to be used by any

is to be given for the benefit of the new gymnasium.
 Every program on the course, from first to last will be first class in every respect. There will be no two pro- grams of the same nature. In fact the committee has taken special pains to plan a series of programs which cannot fail to please every taste for clean entertainment.
 The first program will be given on the evening of Saturday, Novem- l Der 29th, at the Redmen's Hall, be- ginning at s o'clock sharp. This program will be in two parts. The first part will consist of readings by Mrs. G. A. Shumway, assisted by Mrs. L. M. Royal at the piano. Mrs. Shumway is an exceptionally clever speaker and has done a great deal of this type of work in public. She is at the head of the Dramatic Art work at the high school. At the October meeting of the PIT. A. she gave two readings which brought 1 down the house. and established a to<s ,ah her a place in the front rank as an entertainer. The second part of this program will consist of short play given by the high school class in Dramatic Art, under Mrs. Shum- ways direction.
 The second program of the series will be given on the last Saturday evening of December and will take the form of high class minstrel staged by the ablest male talent of the community. A program that will raise the roof is guaranteed. 
 The January program will consist of an operetta, "The Windmills of Holland''. It will be presented by the best musical talent of Wrangel under the direction of Mrs. L. M. Royal, assisted by Mrs. D. N. Lemieux and Miss Nellie Hagerty, director of the school music. The Windmills of Holland is standard operetta and is considered one of the very best available.
 The fourth program will be given the last Saturday evening of Febru- ary and will be a recently copyright ed play hit' adapted from a well known book by one of America popualr authors, but will probably be presented under a different name as a concession in lessening the royalty cndrSe.
 The last of the five programs oi ] the course will be presented the last Saturday of March and will be of diversified nature representing the best talent in the schools, musi- cal and otherwise
 Each of these programs will be presented twice. The first program will begin at 2:30 in the afternoon for the children in order that more seating accommodations will be avail able for the grown-ups at night The charge for the children at the afternoon program will be 25 cts All tickets for the evening program will sell at 50 cts. both to children and adults, except that children held held on the lap will be admitted free.
 A reserved seat may be had at an additional charge of 25 cts. by pre- senting your ticket at the Wheele, Drug Go. No seats will be reserved before Tuesday noon, Nov. 25th. To purchase a ticket in advance will in sure you a seat and a reservation will insure you a desirable one Tickets will be on sale by a student committee or may be purchased al Wheeler's after Tuesday noon.
 By attending these programs you will not only get more than your moneys worth of entertainment bu. you will also be helping the young peopel of the town to get their new gym.
