Wransell Wins The Basketball
 Championship

The Wrangell basketball team ac- |companied by Supt. of Wrangell schools, w. L. Gross, and Ed Lynch, coach, left on the Curacao last Sat urday for the big tournament at Ju- neau, scheduled for Monday, Wed nesday and Friday of this week, double-header each night with one of rest between. The Ketchikan team went north on the same boat.
 According to advices received here, a meeting of coaches took place at Juneau following the arrival of the visitors, and it was decided to elimi- nate the days of rest to enable the visiting teams to return on the Northwestern. Harry Sperling of Juneau was unanimously chosen to referee all games unassisted. The games were to be played in the A B. hall.
 In order to give an equal advan- tage to all. the schedule as originally planned provided that the visiting teams be matched on the opening night. There was great rejoicing among Wrangell fans when the news came Tuesday morning that Wran- gell had taken the first game of the tournament from Ketchikan on Mon day night, 24 to 10. Douglas trimmed Juneau on the same night, 32 to 16. On Wednesday morning the second victory was announced. Wrangell had beaten Juneau 15 to 3 in the double-header Tuesday night and Douglas took the game from Ketchikan by 2S to 22.
 The message received from Supt. Gross at the Wrangell hotel in re- gard to this event read:
 Douglas won from Ketchi-
 kan 2S-22. Wrangell won from
 Juneau 15-3. Much excitement.
 Wrangell plays Douglas tomor-
 row night. We will leave on
 Northwestern"
 Further details indicate that the double-header was a hummer. ketchikan gave the Islanders stiff fight all through the game but the lead of six points which Douglas snatched before Ketchikan hit the proper pace could not be overcome. In the Wrangell-Juneau game. the score at the end of the first half was 1 to for Wrangell. Juneaus de- fense crumpled in the second and the Hilltoppers failed to score while Wrangell blithely took g.
 With these figures to work on. To- cal fans were not unprepared for the final victory, news of which came this morning. Neil Grant cabled as follows to J. G. Grant:
 Wrangell won from Douglas
 IA to 12 on final Juneau won
 from Ketchikan 29 to 20. All
 Alaska anxious for team to go
 to Seattle. Tell Board business
 men here say Alaska must go on
 map"
 That Wrangell will give the cham pions a royal welcome on their re- turn goes without saying.

CLOSES SECOND TIME WITHIN TWO YEARS

Cubertson, Jan. 1S.-Owing to
constant withdrawal of funds during
the fall and winter the State Bank
OF CulbertsOn did not open its doors
on Monday, January 14th. A repre-
sentative of the State Banking De-
partment is making a thorough ex-

as soon as the examination is COM
pleted.
This is the second time within the
past two year that the above bank
has closed its doors.
On the day following the closing
Of the State Bank. the Citizens State
Bank did not open for business and
as a result, CulbertSon is left without
banking facilities. Business proceeds
as usual but business is very much
incOnvenienced by the sudden stop
page Of the general flow of currency.
Owing to a heavy run on the bank,
the Citizens State Bank Of Culbertson
was forced to close its doors en- Janu-
airy 16, 1924
The representative of the State
Banking Department will take charge
and the affairs of the bank gone ov-
er thoroughly and such plans for re-
organization or liquidation to the de
positors will be arranged on the COM
pletion of his report.
Culbertson has been hard hit by
this sudden failure of the two banks
of the town and many people are
wondering how they are going to
meet their obligations for the rest of
the winter. Business has received a
hard blow as a great amount of the
cash money of the town was carried
in the banks and is now tied up or
sunk in those institutions. None of
the depOsitors are able to see the
great Republican cry of four years
ago, Back to Normalcy."

The one things that appears to me
to be the predominant in the different
letters written to your paper by
House and Moe is that House is will

is demanding a guarantee, and it ap-
pears to be very substantial cne at
that.

FIRE AT THE CONCRE-
CATIONAL CHURCH
Heat From Pipe Causes Ceiling to
Catch on Fire-Prompt Work By
Fire Department Cuts Down Loss
Damage Estimated at S35O.OO.

Last Sunday afternoon the Plenty
wood Fire Department was called cut
to fire in the Congregational church
at about 200 o'clock.
The firemen responded to the call
OF the siren in double quick time and
the hose cart and chemical engine
was on the scene a few minutes after
the whistle shrieked its warning.
The fire was found to be in the
basement and as soon as the big hose
let loose its stream of water the fire
was soon out. although it smoked for
a long time afterward.
A fire had been made in a stove. in
the basement of the church for Sun
day school and it is thought that the
heat from a pipe which runs quite
close to the ceiling had caused the
boards to catch on fire.
The blaze was put out before it had
done any great damage, but the loss
by water and smoke is quite heavy,
it being estimated at $3500O which is
covered by insurance.
Rev. Boone was not at home dur
ing the fire as he was at Antelope
taking care of his duties of the Con
gregatiOnal parish in that community.
