BUCHANAN WILL BRING
 BOYS TO ALASKA AGAIN

George E. Buchanan, of Detroit. has announced that there is to be another 'On to Alaska" trip for boys during next month. Buchanan will be remembered in Wrangell from last year when he came north with party of 4S boys.
 These boys sold ash baskets, "On to Alaska" pencils, and did all the thousand and one things that boys will do to earn money. The trip cost approximately s375 apiece. and of this amount the boys furnished one-third, the parents a third, ana Buchanan furnished the other third. It has been announced that the trip scheduled for next month is to be taken on the same plan.
 All the boys last year came back hale and hearty and very enthusias- tic. There was no sickness or acci- dent during the whole time to mar the trip. In fact the two doctors who accompanied the party had very little to do but enjoy them selves
 "The fun of helping boys to de- velop and put through successful, an enterprise of this kind has been compensation enough for me-" says Buchanan.
 The trip is a wonderful education for the boys and it is expected that many will again take advantage of the kind offer of Buchanan. The itinerary last year included Chica- go, St. Paul, Calgary, Banff, Lake Louise, Vancouver, Inside Passage to Alaska making all south Alaska ports, Seattle, Portland. Spokane, St. Paul, Butte, Chicago and back to Detroit

PROMINENT BOSTON
 CLUB WOMAN" MAKES ALASKAN TRIP TO ATLIl

Among the southbound travellers OF the Princess Louise Tuesday night, was Alice Rowland Macomb- CT, prominent club woman of Bos- ton, who had made the trip to Lake Atlin following attendance at the General Federation Biennial in Los Angeles, where she went as a dele gate from the New Bedford Wom- ans Club of 800 members. Mrs. Macomber is lecturer on the staff of the White Entertainment Bureau of Boston and her new lecture, Climbing The Pyramids Inside and Out And The Recent Excaya- tion' is illustrated by slides from her own photographs and by the only official set of slides of the Tut ankh-amen treasures in America. In an endeavor to have this lecture given here under the auspices of the Wrangell Civic Club, consider able correspondence and several messages passed between Mrs. Ma comber and the corresponding sec retary of the Civic Club but the un- certainty of the arrival of the boat on which she was travelling, made it impossible to handle the lecture here Had it been possible to se- cure stop-over privileges on a Cana dian boat. Mrs. Macomber would have been delighted to stay over for a time.
 Mrs Macomber is the possessor of a gorgeous harem costume which never fails to attract attention and publicity and this she wears at her lectures. She carried her slides and costumes with her to Alaska and had 1t been definitely known a few days before hand that the Louise | would remain in port fof at least two hours, arrangements could have been made to have given the lecture here at that time.
 Mrs. Macomber was met here by Mrs. Palmer, former Civic ClUt president, and escorted about town Tc the local club women whom she met she expressed herself as very favorably impressed with Wrangell

CARLSON : CONKLING

A pretty wedding occurred Sun day afternoon when Ellery Clifford Carlson and Miss Darcy Ann Conk- ling were quietly married at the ranch home of the grocm's parents, MT. and Mrs. Oscar Carlson, Judge William G. Thomas officiating.
 Scarcely any one in town knew of the wedding until after it had occurred, and yet the happy event did not come as surprise to the community. For some time the many friends of the young couple had been looking forward to the time when they would have the pleasure of congratulating them.
 The bride is a native of the State of Washington and a sister of Mrs B. NJ. Dodge who taught in the Wrangell school the past year. Miss Conkling came to Wrangell last fall with the intention of spending a year here, but little Dan proceeded to get on the job and completely upset the young lady's plans in this respect
 The groom is son of MT. and Mrs. Oscar Carlson who moved to Wrangell when he was a small child He was the first man to en- list from Wrangell when war was declared although he was under age and had to have the consent of his parents. He served throughout the war on a submarine destroyer. Af- ter the war he returned to Wran- gell and has since made his home here. Last month he became pro- prietor of the Wrangell Home Bak- cry.
 Both Mir and Mrs. Ellery Carlson have a large circle of friends here who wish them a long and smooth voyage on the matrimonial sea.

Waste Product
 Engineers Find
 North Good Field

| Frederick H. Meisnest, waste pro- duct engineer with Stanley Hitler Inc, left on the Rogers last Friday for Ketchikan after spending a week in Wrangen.
 MT. Meisnest is vice president and treasurer of the Alaska She'll fish Company recently established in Wrangell by James M. Bell, president and manager of the com pany, for the purpose of packing crabs.
 Both MT. Meisnest and MT. Bell are graduates of the College of Fisheries of the University of Wash ington and have had wide experi- ence in the fish business.
 Mir Meisnest is in charge of the Seattle office of Stanley Hitler Inc as Northwest representative. This | iS d Coupdus Ol waste pIouuSt euSi neers who devote their entire time to devising processes and machin- cry for the saving of waste materi- als. Their work embraces a large | scope of activities in varied indust- ries whereby materials that would otherwise be wasted are profitably | converted into useful products. The | part of their work most interesting | to Alaskans is their fish reduction plant. The old type of plants re- | quired such a large initial expendi- ture and operated so expensively that not many canneries could af- ford to do other than waste a tre- mendous amount of raw fish. Last year in Alaska there were canned 7.24O.1S5 cases of salmon ! and according to statistics from | canners g pounds of fish are lost per case. In other words for every 4S pounds of fish canned, 70 pounds of raw fish are required. Therefore the Alaskan salmon pack of last year represented a total of 79,640 tons of fish waste which could have I Rel, and 1,371,s40 gallons of oil. These products if sold at current market price would have brought s1,433, 566.
 | This does not include the amount of fish that could be saved from the herring salteries or the cod fisher ies. Some of the offal is now utiliz- ed but it represents very small per cent of the entire amount that could be saved
 MT. Meisnest claims that the Stanley Hitler Fish Reduction Unit put out by his company would uti lize this waste at a profit to the canners, as the operation of the plant is simple and the installation inexpensive. The machine is con- nected direct with the cannery and is part therof. Only two man are required to handle an out put of 50 tons of fish waste per day as contrasted with an installation cost of from one hundred to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the old type of plants which covered several acres of ground and employed from fifty to one hun dred men.
 The Alaska Packers Association, the largest canners of salmon in the world, have Hitler machines in- stalled in their canneries at Karluk and Chignik. It is not improbable that they will install a machine within the next two ears in every cannery they operate.
 MT. Meisnest is at work now de- yising a process to utilize crab waste. AS soon as he has it com pleted it will be used by Mir. Bell in the crab cannery here.
