 W. L. Smith, a government engi- neer, arrived from Juneau the first of the week. and the work will be be done under his supervision.
 The beginning of actual con- struction on the Wrangell Break water is matter of considerable satisfaction to the people of the en- tire, Wrangell District. The Wran- gells Commercial Club and various influential citizens have worked hard to make the breakwater a re- ality, but this big improvement would still be among the things hoped for had it not been for the ag- gressiveness of Delegate Dan Suth- erland who stayed with the propo- sition for four years when the chances of it's ever going through seemed remote.
