of the Citizens bank in Williams, died
in Pasadena on Saturday night, jan
uarv 10. Funeral services were held
in Pasadena. Mr.. Scoville is survived

No announcement has come offic-
tally from the railroad people. There
is possibility, but it is a scant one,
that the present plans may not ma
terialize. Though considering the
growing local indignation over the
present inadequate and disgraceful
building and the strong protest re-
cent sent to President Storey of the
Santa Fe by the Flagstaff Rotary
club, it is reasonable to assume that
as long as the company has got TO
the plan-making stage actual building
won't be long delayed. President
Storey recently visited the Winslow
division offices and it is believed the
depot situation here was then dis
cussed with the division officials.

largement of the railroad yards it is

From the beginning, the Russian

Steffansen was making claim in be-

THE government of the Union Of
Socialist Republics finds it necessary
to state that it regards the Isle of
Wrangell as an integral part of the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.
THE Isle of Wrangel was officially
incorporated as Russian territory and
the Russian flag raised thereon by
an expedition organized by the Rus
sian government and led by Lieut..
Wrangel in 1924. Russian SOW
ereign rights to the island have never
been questioned by any other gov
eminent, and it has been generally
looked upon as Russian TERRITORY. In
the year 1910 the Russian hydro
graphic expedition made measure
ments around the island and built
thereon an iron navigation pyramid
for the guidance of ships, seeking
entrance to the southwest part of the
island, this pyramid being the first
and only erection on the island.
Finally. in September, 1915, the
Russian government notified all the
allied and neutral governments that
the Isle Of Wrangell, together with
other islands and territories adjoining
the coast Of Siberia, constituted an
