LAKE BAY RESIDENCE
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

The cannery superintendent 8 residence at the Lake Bay cannery burned to the ground with all its contents Wednesday morning. The fire was discovered at five o'clock but had made too much headway to be checked. The house was occu. pied by F. c. Barnes and family during the summer. Mrs. Barnes and the children had left for Port. land about week previous to- the fire, and MT. Barnes was away on 8 trip to the West Coast. Jack Vigars, the caretaker, had made fire in the fireplace on Monday. When he left the premises that evening everything was apparently all right. It is surmised that a spark smoldering all those hours was the cause of the fire.

PETERSBURG GOES DRY
 FOR SHORT PERIOD

From Monday until Wednesday mirnight, Petersburg was dry as a fish out of water. There was rain water and sea water and marsh water, but not drop to drink, as the city intake had become clogged and the water was shut off.
 Industry in a sense, became para lyzed. The sawmill could not oper- ate, the cannery was handicapped. as we'll as the shrimp plant and crab plant and other industries. The light plant cannot run with out water and therfore was also out of commission.
 During the "dry spell" 1t was just like old times in Petersburg, when everyone carried water. Cars and carts and boy and man and wo- man power were pressed into serv- ice to get drinking water. It was then realized what it means to be without water even for short time.
 City Marshal Nicholson took charge of the work until he fell and cracked a couple of ribs. E. G. W. Morris, architect and builder of Wrangell, happened to be in town and was elected to take charge. J. E. Isom of the crab factory, J. c. Ludeman and men from the cannery were also on the job.
 When the new hydro-electric plant is finished light and power will not depend upon the city water system.-Petersburg Herald.

the enrolment of more than 40 men, and Mayor Bjornstad plans an evening meeting and parade so that all may take part.
 You will see by this that the gov ernment isn't asking anyone to get excited over Defense Test Day. It isn't to be Fourth of July affair replete with firecrackers and ora tory; but a sober taking stock of our military resources with just enough of the frfHs thrown in to put it over with the less serious minded.
 And I sincerely hope that you and the other newspaper men will give the affair the space and attention 1t deserves. have not written you before because the Governors com mittee is really in charge of the af- fair SO far as the municipalities are concerned and Major Maddox (whom General Morton has ap- pointed to represent him in Alaska on Defense Day matters) believes the newspapers can get better in- formation direct from them. I would therefore advise you getting in touch with MT. Robertson and Mayor GoIdstein. who can doubtless tell you of local angles to the af- fair.
 Very Respectfully,
 ROBERT c. WRIGHT,
 Captain, 7th Infantry.

Miss Margaret Ferguson enter tained most happily last Tuesday afternoon in celebration of her ninth birthday. Fifteen little girls were present at the party. Some one among them had known that 1t was also the ninth birthday Of Marjorie Hopper. who has been here since last summer, and so birthday remembrances were brought for both little girls. The party ended with dainty refreshments. including the traditional birthday cake serv- ed by Mrs. Ferguson.

Wrangell, Alaska.
 Sept. 3, 1924.

Editor Wrangell Sentinel:
 Please permit me to use your paper in regards to the proposed electric franchise.
 Last spring several of the citizens ot Wrangell urged me to apply for the electric franchise and eventual ly combine the electric plant and the cold storage plant. I investiga- ted the conditions and took up the matter with the president of our company, who was at that time in Wrangell. In the meantime, MT. Gartley became interested and in- formed us that he would like to take over the electric company, and act ing on advice of the president of our company, We decided to keep out of it. Sometime afterwards MT. Cart ley decided that he didn't want the franchise and we then again con- sidered the matter. Our entire in terest in the matter was in connec- tion with our local cold storage com pany and We believed we could run the two plants together and make a success Of both.
 We believed that we had the as surance that the franchise would be granted 10 us and therefore We brought here a young man to go In- 10 the work with us and manage the electrical part Of the business. Inis young man is an electrical en- gineer from the General Electric Works or Erie, Pa. aud is graduate of electrical engineering of the Uni versity of Michigan. He was also backed by sufficient capital to han dle the proposition and his educa- tion and training made him compe- tent.
 However, MT. Gartley again de- cided he wanted the franchise and our council, after extreme delibera- tion, decided to grant it to him.
 We deplore the enormous loss to our community which came on one of our dark nights and we feel that our council should have made some provision for lights when MT. Palm CTS franchise expired, but we want to be boosters and we want the best for our community. Our interest in the franchise was entirely storage company interest. We are here to make the Wrangell Ice and Storage Company a big success and we are going to do it, and the success of ouA RAonS LACoho e ASk " Wion6oAA and to many individual citizenA of Wrangell.
 The council. in its mature judg- ment have granted MT. Gsrtley the franchise and we believe if the vot- CTS ratify the councils decision In the matter. that MT. Gartley will give us satisfactory electric service.
 We have written this to show our interest in the franchise and toshow that We have community interest and not personal interest, and per sonally we are satisfied with the councils decision.
 Very truly Yours,
 o. D. LEFT. Manager Wrangell Ice and Storage

FEDERAL REPORT ON
 ALASKAN WATER POWERS

''The Water Powers of Southeast ern Alaska" a government bulletin recently issued by the Forest Ser vice and the Federal Power Com mission, contains much information that should be of assistance in de- veloping industries in this region particularly the paper manufactur- ing and mining industries. All of the available information on the To- cal waste power resources is assem- bled in this report, which also dis cusses the geography, typography and climate of Southeastern Alaska from the standpoint of the suitabil- ity of the region for the operation of large industrial plants. An ex- cellent article on climate prepared by M. B. Sommers. who was former ly in charge of the Weather Bur eau stations in Alaska. is given as an appendix. The report was written by J. c. Dort. hydroelectric engi- neer of the Forest Service.
 It will be remembered that MT. Dort made extended surveys of the water power sites of this region in 1921 and 1922, and this report is based largely on his surveys and on the water flow measurements which the Forest Service has been making on the better power sites since 1915. The report shows for each site the amount of power available and the best methods and probable cost per horse power of develop ment. In the Wrangell-Petersbur District the following power sites are discussed in detail and are shown to have the following horse power capacities.
 Tyee Lake on Bradfield Canal, 200 h. p.
 White River on Bradfield Canal, 12,0OO h. p.
 Harding River on Bradfield Ca nal, 23,000 h. p.
 Cascade Creek on Thomas Bay, 2S,7Oo h. p.
 Anan Creek at Humpback Bay, 6.7OO h. p.
 Mill Creek, near Wrangell, 5000 h. p.
 Aaron Creek. Blake Channel, 12.- 900 b. p.
 The total amount of power avail able from the known power sites in Southeastern Alaska is 464,000 horse power, an amount fully cap able of manufacturing the immense yearly uantity of paper the forests of this region are able to produce indefinitely. MT. Dort's figures on the cost of power development at the large sites in Southeastern AL aska are very low as compared with costs in many other sections of the country which are regarded as hay ing good water powers.
 Our excellent water powers are one of our best resources and this bulletin should help immensely to impress their outstanding value on engineers and financiers who are interested in cheap power for such large industries as paper making, mining and the manufacture of ni- trogen fertilizers.

SCHOOLS OPEN

| Tuesday morning with a good sized enrolment. A total of 95 were en- rolled in the grades and twenty in the high school. On account of the Yukon being late three of the teach ing staff, Mrs Bronson who is teaching again in the native room and MT. and Mrs. Shumway who oc- cupy the positions of grade school principal and language teacher in the high school respectively, did not arrive until Wednesday morn ing. As the first days work con- sisted only in enrolling the pupils all the teachers were on hand for the first day of actual school work and the years work started with enthusiasm in all departments.
 Parents are urged by the admin istration not to permit the children to go to the school grounds earlier than s:45 in the morning or return for the afternoon session earlier than 12:45. Recess periods have been arranged in such a way that the play accommodations will not be crowded and supervision has been provided for the grounds during play periods.
 Both school buildings are still somewhat torn up by the workmen engaged in the alteration program which had not reached completion before the opening of school. The seventh and eighth grade room has been enlarged and repainted and is now the most desirable room in the building, being the only one with out objectionable cross-Hghting. The objectionable, unsanitary toil- cts will soon be eliminated from the main floor and adequate, sanitary facilities provided in concrete rooms in the basement, accessible from the main hail. The chimney at the high school building was condemned the day prior to the opening of school and the work of rebuilding it interfered consider ably with the high school program for Tuesday and Wednesday.
 The high school course of study has been revised to conform more closely with university entrance re- quirements by substituting more cultural training for some of the commercial work previously offered The subjects offered as perma nent course of study beginning with the present school year are: four years of English, two years of Lat in, two years of Spanish. there years of history. Bookkeeping, Typewrit- ing, Commercial Law, Economics, a course in vocational guidance and provision is being made whereby Bible study may be taken through the cooperation of the churches to the amount of one high school cred 1t. for those who desire to take ad- vantage of the opportunity. This work will not be given at the school building but will be offered on school time.
 The high school day has been heightened 45 minutes to accomo- date the more complete course that is being offered. It is significant that there was not a single registra- ton for any of the commercial work although opportunity was offered for it in each of the four classes. All indications point to a year of thoroughly efficient work ahead.

Grocers and merchants of Talbot
comfy are said to be furnishing ginger
extract to persons, who use it in the
illicit manufacture of liquor, accord
ing to the report of the Grand Jury.
One man will be presented on this
charge to test the law. Anent this
condition the report continues:
eve have discovered that great
deal of drnkeness is being caused by
the drinking of a concoction of ia
maica ginger, being wholesaled and
reta:led in the county, in great guam
titles apparently under the impress
sion that it is not unlawful, but as it
proves to be quite Intoxicating we
warn all dealers, wholesale and retail
to cease selling it at once and call
special attention of the States Attor-
ney and officers of the law to the
fact"
Decision of the police magistrates
to levy heavy fines for the violation of
the traffic laws was commended.
So-called "mania for bond issues"
was scored in the report. Embarrass-
ment caused county officers by these
bond issues for various purposes was
upon.

STATE NEWS

The fruit crop of Kent and adjoin-
ing counties Is facing ruin as the re-
suit of the invasion by a species of
insect believed by some to be the
"tent caterpillar"
Fruit trees, especially wild cherry
and apple, are being rapidly depleted
of their leaves and blossoms.
Fruit growers are, making strenu-
GUS efforts to rid their trees of the
pest. So far their efforts have been
unsuccessful.
The worms are described as being
about two inches long. They are dark
brown in color with white dots, re-
sembling very closely the "catalpa
worm" The insects build large CO.
coons around the trunks and branches
of trees. Eggs are Matched in about
three week, according to persons who
have observed the habits.
Attention of the extension depart
ment of the University of Maryland
will be called to the situation Of the
county Farm Bureau authorities.
Unless some means is discovered in
the near future thousands Of dollars
worth of fruit trees will be ruined,
farmers say.

A good stand Of red clover has been
increasingly difficult to, secure and
maintain in many sections and TO,
quite number of years. There arc
number of causes for this partia.
or entire failure with red Glover
which may work together or sepa-
rately. The most important of these
in that they are the most common and
widespread, are due in large meas
.ure, according to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, to continued un-
wise farm practices and can be RENE
died only by changing those practices
A rundown soil is an abused soil
In most cases such a soil can be re-
stored to a reasonable fertility by re-
versing the process to which it's con-
ditions are due. Instead of the or
ganic matter being exhausted by con-
slant cropping, it must be restored
either by farm manure or by green
manure instead of the natural sup
plies Of lime, phosphate, and potash,
which may have been scanty in the
first place, being further drawn on,
