 The party left here in autos at & o'clock. There was no doubt that the party was a genuine surprise to the Schotts, and they were only found at home through the use of a considerable amount of strategy on the part of J. G. Grant.
 The self invited guests brought we'll filled baskets with them and a most enjoyable evening spent in playing cards and dancing was brought to close after a supper which was served before the fire place in the spacious living room.

PICTURES NOW OBTAINABLE OF CHIEF SCENIC POINTS
 ALONG STIKINE RIVEE

Wrangell has always had good pictures of the Lower Stikine. J. E. Worden's views of Knyg Glacier, his panorama of Big Glacier, and the pictures of Cone Mountain have always been considered the very best possible. But unfortunately the town has never until recently been able to get satisfactory views of the whole river. MT. Ed Andrews whose large 12x2O views from all over Alaska have made him famous as a photographer, was the guest of Captain Harrington on the Hazel B No on a recent voyage to Iele- graph Creek and during that time secured a score or more of pictures that will serve to do justice to the wonderful scenery of the river. The pictures begin with Flood Glacier 
 They give a panorama of the range of mountains of which Cone Noun tain is a part, of the mountains be- tween Flood Glacier and the Lower Canyon, of the Canyon itself, of the Two Brother" and Lone Sister rocks, and of the river north Of Telegraph. Here the water has worn itself through lava beds mak- ing a canyon a thousand feet deep.
 The pictures do justice to the wonderful scenery along the river, and will be valued as pictures whether one has visited these places or not. When properly dis played they will be eye-openers to tourists, proving to them that 1T they wish to see the best they must take the Stikine River trip in pref erence to any other on the North American continent.

AUTHOR FINDS WEALTH
 OF STORY MATERIAL IN
 WRANGELL AND VIClNIT {

Miss Emma-Lindsay a4uier, na, .ionally known as writer, was a passenger aboard the steamer Queen Sunday. While the yesse was in port Miss Squier visited St Philips Church School and on invi tion of the Rev. Corser spoke to the children briefly before telling then the story of Kayak, the first story in her book, Wild Heart, which was first published serially in Good Housekeeping. The children listen. ed spellbound to Miss SQuier, who speaks with the same charming sim plicity with which she writes.
 Miss Squier, who in private life is Mrs. Marks, lived as little girl in forest clearing on Puget Sound and the stories that have made her famous were true incidents of her childhood. Her later books em- brace stories of wild life and Indian legends of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and the northern Rock ies of the United States told in Brothers of the Sunset
 Miss Squier was shown the totem poles of Wrangell by Rev. Corser She intends to spend two weeks in Sitka getting material for a series of Alaskan stories. She became SC interested in the wealth of story material in Wrangell and vicinity that she is trying to arrange a two weeks stop-over on her return from Sitka. During the last hour of her stay in port, she was in the company of Mrs. M. o. Johnson, president ot the Civic Club, and promised that in the event of her stopping off in Wrangell on her way south, she would speak to the members of the Civic Club.

Wm. Lewis Returns

William Lewis returned on the Alameda from Juneau where he at tended the meeting of the Advisory Committee of the Bureau of Fisher ing as a delegate from the fisher men of this vicinity. MT. Lewis stated that since his return he had talked with so many fishermen about what took place at Juneau that he doubted if a meeting would be called for the purpose of receiv' ing a formal report from him.

Fisheries Advisory
 Board in Session
 At Juneau Monday
August 22 Recommended as Date For Closing Fishing Season in Wrangen District in 1925

Capt. J. J. Reynolds who attend ed the meeting of the Alaska Fish cries Advisory Board at Juneau as one Of the representatives from the Wrangell ditsrict, returned on the Alameda Tuesday. Captain Rey- holds wished to continue his jour hey to Seattle on the same vessel. Therefore a meeting of the execu- tive committee of the Commercial Club was called while the vessel was in port in order to receive his report.
 The Advisory Committee decided to recommend to the Bureau that in 1925 the season be open until August 22 instead of August 20, as in 1924. The Advisory Committee had tentatively set August 15 as the date they would recommend for closing the season in the Wrangell District next year. However. after consideration of the facts presented by the representatives from Wran- gell, August 22, was decided upon as the date that would be recom- mended for closing the season in this district another year. There fore the recommendation that will go to the Bureau is for seven days more than would haev been recim- mended for this district had Wran- gell not sent representatives to the Juneau meeting.
 Last month the Commercial Club sent Captain Reynolds, Jorgen Ron ming, and c. w. Russell to Juneau in an effort to get the season ex- tended for this year.
 When the Commercial Club learned of the meeting of the Alas ka Fisheries Advisory Committee 1t decided to send Captain Reynolds as one of the representatives from this district. Upon accepting the appointment Captain Reynolds at once set out to gather such informa- tion as was necessary to aid in de- termining the policy that would be followed in drafting resolution for presentation to the Advisory Board.
 The Commercial Club and the citizens of this district in general feel that great credit is due Capt. Reynolds for his splendid service. It would not have been possible to have had a better man on the job for the work in hand.

Biz Gold Strike in CaSSiar
Passengers Arriving on Hazel B No. 4 Bring First Authentic Information Strike
 Is a Big One-No One Knows How Big

The Stikine River boat, Hazel B No. 4, with Captain Sid Harrington in command, arrived in Wrangeli Thursday evening bringing the first authentic news of the gold strike in the Cassiar.
 William Grady, one of the dis coverers, came out on hurried business trip and will return the nrst of the week. MT Grady states that he and H. L. Ford made the discovery on Little Eagle creek at a place about twelve miles due east Of Dease Lake.
 Gold was discovered on a section of the creek where the stream cuts through a red porphyry dike. The banks are about three hundred feet nigh and the stream has four forks.
 When Grady stepped ashore at Wrangell he was surrounded by a crowd eager to hear his story. He exhibited a poke containing several ounces of coarse gold. When asked concerning the extent the gold Grady said
 There is coarse gold there and undoubtedly in considerable quan- titles. In all my mining experience have never seen anything like it.

A STATEMENT

Wrangell, Sept. 1O, l924. Editor Sentinel:
 In justice to the Women's Civic Club and as a matter of public rec ord, I wish to deny through your paper that resolution was passed at our meeting last week for or against any light franchise. The franchise was discussed and several sections that were not fully under stood were explained in accordance with information secured from members of the City Council, but no resolution was passed and no at- tempt to pass such a measure was contemplated A civic organization is within it's rights when it discusses public issues; in fact, it's members would be somewhat lacking in in- telligence and unworthy of public support if they did not do so.
 MRS. M. o. JOHNSON.

The Schools

In spite of the distraction incl dent to the opening of school while the work of making alterations in the buildings is still going on, pu- pills and teachers have settled down to business in a way that indicates year of real progress ahead. The manual training work has not yet started in the grade school on ac- count of the necessity of using the room in connection with the altera- tions being made in the basement. The work of moving the toilets down will probably necessitate the postponing of this work for another week or two.
 In the high school the work is all we'll organized and is running smoothly. The staff of the Stikine Messenger, the high school publica- tion, was elected by the student body Monday. George Case was se- lected as Editor-in-Chi and John Grant as Business Manager. Doro- thy Johnson was elected as Assist ant Editor and James Wheeler as Assistant Business Manager. Other members of the staff will be select ed by the editor with the coopera- tion of Mrs. Shumway who heads the Language Department and has been selected as official advisor for the staff. It has been decided to change the form of the publication from an open news sheet to a monthly publication ofthe magazine type. It will be attractively bound ih such way as to compare favor ably with the better class of month ly magazines being put out by other schools and will contain sixteen or twenty-four pages according to the amount of copy available for each issue. It is planned that the sub scription price will be one dollar per year or fifteen cents per single copy. The Sentinel has agreed to do the printing at cost which does not exceed the average cost of the less attractive sheet put out last year. The enterprise shown by the school in raising the standards of their publication is certainly de- serving of the hearty support of ev- cry citizen of Wrangell.
 The Boy Scout work is to be re- organized with L. M Royal as Scout master. The organization meeting will be held in the gymnasium at four o'clock on Friday afternoon of next week. All boys who are inter ested and eligible should be present. Organized work of a similar nature is being considered for the girls

had no chance to determine the ex- tent of our strike. l had nine dogs with me which l had to feed with food obtained with my rifle. had to do my own cooking, and besides did not have proper tools. All did was to scratch a little along the rim. It is eight to ten feet to bedrock. The ground can be easily worked with pick and shovel, and drainage will be easy. The place is only sixteen miles from a government trail and can be reached without difficulty. 1 know we have discovered something big-I wish I knew how big. I also wish the discovery had been made earlier in the season. However, l hope to be able within short time to give out some out some news that will be more definite and satis- flying.
 Captain Sid Burlington, who with his entire crew left his boat, and along with others travelled a hundred miles or more to stake claims, reached Wrangell looking pretty we'll tired out, but extremely eh- thusiastic In his opinion the im- portance of the new discovery is not being overestimated.
