DOUBLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH
 BY SAMUELSON BOY

Lwis Samuelsonn, schoolboy and son of MT. and Mrs. John Samuel son, was given practical demon stration Wednesday that fire burna and water is wet. He had a most narrow escape from both burning and drowning.
 The lad started a fire in the gal ley of his fathers boat moored near the Standard Oil dock and used the gasoline can instead of the kerosene can. His clothes caught on fire. He lowered himself in the water on a rope, but the flames began to gc over his head and he let go the rope. He could not swim, but somehow managed to keep afloat and was seen drifting past the oil dock. His father jumped into a skiff. but the skifl turned over and Pete sluggan went to the rescue and picked up the boy and then the father. Neither the boy nor the boat were materially damaged.

Petersburg Notes
(From Petersburg Herald) VOLCANO MAY SLUMBER
 CLOSE TO THIS TOWN

CLOSE TO THIS TOWN
 There is reason to believe there may be a slumbering volcano only few miles from Petersburg in the vicinity of La Conte glacier. Smoke has been seen issuing from there by several parties, during the clear, cold waether that has prevailed dur ing the past two weeks.
 Ed Preuschoff, the fox rancher, had been told about smoke having been seen, but put it down to fog or mist. However on coming to town lats Monday he saw spiral column of black smoke issuing from what he took to be one of the Sisters moun- tains in the vicinity of La Conte glacier. It was perfectly clear day. Two days previously MT. Preu- cshoff had painted his boat green and the next day he noticed that it seemed to be covered with dust. People about Petersburg noticed a cort of "snow dust" one day when it became a bit hay but thought it might be from the smoke of chim- neys about town. On the day before that, which was clear, several citi. zens remarked on the fact that every once in awhile there seemed to spring up an unusually warm cur rent of air.
 It may be remarked that the coun- try lying back of La Conte glacier and around the Devils Thumb mountain, is veritable mystery land. The Natives are superstitious about the country. It is said that rich samples of gold have been found by the few prospectors who have penetrated the outer edges of the country, but not one of them could ever be persuaded to return. Tale' have been told of deep, mysterious rumblings, and of deadly vapors. and hissing geysers, but these had not been taken seriously by the more practical. Yet Thunder mountain, the Devils Thumb, and the La Conte glacier, form one of the least known districts in Alaska and they beckon mysteriously to those who may be looking for adventure and riches.

The Box CT went from nere to KetcnlkaL where their visit was the occasion O. the following write-up in the Chronicle
 Describing the work which the Bureau of Education IS doing among the Eskimo reindeer herds, W. T.. Lopp. superintendent or the govern ment work in tue tar north who was here on the motorship Boxer Satur- day, said that a new plan has been worked out to replace the one which mas been followed since the incep- Iion of reindeer herds in the Arctic.
 Because of the tremendous in crease in the herds, the question Of ownership became quite involved. In a herd of 500 beasts there would Ue as many as 12U individual owners, each with a different brand upo-l his reindeer. When it came time t. mark the calves or lawns, a grea. deal of dispute would arise as to the actual ownership of the animal. To do away with this problem stock companies were formed, each share of stock representing one animal or it's equivalent in cash. With this plan in use during the past year, in- dividual markings have become un- necessary, MT. Lopp said, and only a herd mark is placed on the ani mals.
 The greatest difficulty encounter ed in putting this plan into practice has been the one of finance" said MT. Lopp. "At St. Lawrence Island we handled the situation by issuing quantity of stock to the store which is situated there and in return obtaining credit for the herders and their families for food and clothing when the picked animals are killed and placed on the market. From the latter source, sufficient money is obtaind to tide the herders over until next season. As the number of ami mals slaughtered is less than the in crease in the herd, the value of the stock is constantly increasing and at the same time substantial dividends are being paid.
 'In localities where the system of financing employed at St. Lawrence could not be obtained, other methods
The Wrangell sentinel., 1924-11-20

were followed to insure the stock owners living until dividends were realized.
 Because of the accident which occurred to the Coast Guard cutter Bear in July, a great deal of the work usually performed by that ves- sel fell to the Boxer with the result that Bureau of Education activities in the Arctic were curtailed.
 The Boxer carried the mail to Nome and Point Barrow and res cued the crews of the Lady Kinders- ley and the steamer Arctic which became frozen in the ice, and carried supplies to several of the small vil- iages in the Arctic ocean which the Bear would have called at ordinarily. This required great amount of time. We also picked up the geolo- gical survey parties headed by Dr. omith and William Foran and car ried them into Nome."
 The Boxer brought a considerable quantity of raw ivory, ivory orna- ments, fur skins including 222 bar rels of sealskins belonging to the Bureau of Fisheries, and 400 rein deer carcasses which are being talk en south from St. Lawrence Island, lor sale in the states.
 "We sold only IS carcasses to the Ketchikan meat markets and to tue Cold Storage. This was rather disappointing as we had hoped to sell a great many more than that number here. At present the Rein deer industry is able to supply a much larger market than is enjoyed and eventually every family in Al | aska can have the meat as a staple commodity. We believe that with the solving of the transportation and cold storage problems the mar | ket in Alaska will be developed to | a degree which alone will almost be able to sustain the industry. With the vast herds and the process of se- lective breeding which is being de- veloped this industry should become one of the largest in Alaska" While the Boxer was in port sev- eral of MT. Lopp's acquaintances in Ketchikan called upon him and spent the evening in "reminiscences of former days in the far North The Boxer left for Seattle at 4 o'clock Sunday morning and will remain there for a few weeks being ovarhauled.

well balanced and difficult program

excellence that might be expected of

Dr. Dawson is to be highly COM
mended upon the finish that he has
developed in the work of his singers.
Their attacks were precise and their
shadings uniform, their pianissimos
smooth and their fortes strong and
powerful The tone of the club is
rich and well rounded, though seem
ing to lack a little power in the bass.
The one thing above all others that
lends to success in chorus work
these singers possess in abundance,
namely, enthusiasm. Each one seemed
to put his whole heart and soul into
his work, and this could not help but
awaken a responsive chord in the
audience.
The choruses that met with the
most approval were "Dance Ca
chucha." from "The Gondoliers" of

son displayed his good judgment in
repeating these numbers when the
audience demanded more, rather than
to sing the conventional encore.

1ingual agility of the singers, THE

rapid that with the words before one

even more rapid finish than the other.
Artistically, After Many Dusty

was the outstanding selection. DR..
Dawson appeared in this particular
number as director of exceptional
ability. legato theme was main
ta1ned in the second tenor and part of
the time i'll the first, with the bari
tones and basses providing an under
current of tone that came like great
surging waves to predominant and then
drop back to a whisper. only to return
time and again, the tenors meanwhile
continuing along their way unruff1ed
toward close the basses changed to
a diminishing staccato theme that
sounded like pizzacato on a cello, so
mellow was the tone.
The planiSsimo work of the club
was particularly good. for no matter
how soft the notes, even though they
were sung at times on the breath
alone, the decisive beat was never
lost.
Besides the numbers mentioned, the
club sang "Since Christ Our Lord"
